Family Cultivation: My Ancestral Home Gets Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 87 Killing the Enemy Under the Moonlight (Twenty-Seventh Update)

"Is it yours?"

The gray-robed elder was stunned, his face full of surprise: "Fellow Daoist Bai, what makes you say that?"

"Everyone knows that Qinglu Mountain belongs to the Jiang family. When did it become yours?"

"Senior Chen, you are unaware of this."

The beautiful woman said calmly, "About ten years ago, when Qinglu Mountain was still owned by the Wang family, I negotiated a sale with them."

"I just didn't have enough spirit stones on hand, and I planned to make up for it when I had more. But I didn't expect the Wang family to sell it to the Jiang family so quickly."

It turns out that this beautiful woman was the one who stole the Wang family's sacred field back then.

She stayed on the mountain for two nights while stealing the spirit soil.

Attracted by the scenery, I did have the idea of ​​buying the mountain once I had the spiritual stone.

However, as I traveled around, I gradually forgot about it.

It wasn't until a few days ago, when rumors circulated that a spiritual vein had appeared on Qinglu Mountain, that she suddenly remembered.

Moreover, she stubbornly believed that Qinglu Mountain was the one she had her eye on first.

Even if the deal wasn't finalized, the mountain should still have some connection to her.

She then inquired carefully and learned that the Jiang family had been in the area after she stole the spiritual soil and the Wang family's spiritual fields had been abandoned.

He managed to buy the entire mountain for a mere two hundred spirit stones, a real bargain.

A strong sense of resentment welled up in my heart.

The feeling was like having painstakingly paved a path, only to have someone else easily step over it.

She has been used twice in her life.

The first time was when she risked half her life to hunt down a body-refining expert, and finally succeeded.

But a man wearing a straw hat appeared out of nowhere and snatched the spoils first.

She investigated for several years afterward, but the person seemed to have vanished into thin air, so she had no choice but to give up.

The second time was at Qinglu Mountain.

She was determined to get it back no matter what.

As for the late-stage Qi Refining cultivator from the Jiang family, she didn't care about him.

Over the years, she has offended more than one or two Foundation Establishment families, and they are still doing well.

With her unparalleled skill in disguise, she could change her appearance and become unrecognizable in any new place.

In the dead of night, the moon was obscured by thin clouds, letting in only a faint light to barely illuminate the blurry outline of the mountain path.

Qinglu Mountain was quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects.

Just then, a low neighing of a horse rang out.

Ten large, half-spirit horses quietly arrived at the foot of Qinglu Mountain.

The beautiful woman at the head of the group reined in her horse, glanced up at the mountaintop, and whispered the order: "Everyone dismount and proceed on foot!"

The group landed silently and swiftly.

They quickly tied the horses to a nearby tree trunk, and then the ten men slipped into the mountain path, moving swiftly up the stone steps, their footsteps light and almost silent.

Qinglu Mountain is not high, only about 300 meters.

The group moved quickly, and in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Jiang family mansion on the mountaintop came into view.

A dim, yellow light still shone from a few windows, flickering weakly, indicating that the people inside had not yet rested.

The beautiful woman's lips curled slightly.

The nine people she brought were all experienced in ambushes and sneak attacks.

As long as she gets to the door, even if the person inside isn't asleep, she's confident she can win in one fell swoop.

Just as she was sneering to herself, there was a sudden rustling sound from the bushes beside the mountain path!

A dark figure leaped out, blocking the path, and shouted in a voice as firm as iron: "Who are you? Why have you infiltrated my Qinglu Mountain?"

The group was startled at the same time, not expecting that there were people keeping watch on the mountain.

But he calmed down in an instant.

Now that we've been discovered, let's just charge in.

But the dark figure moved even faster.

With a flick of his arm, five or six fireballs suddenly condensed in front of him, their crimson color dazzling, and shot towards the beautiful woman and the others!

The firelight illuminated half of his face, revealing a calm-looking young man with sharp, piercing eyes.

"Scatter!"

As soon as the beautiful woman finished speaking, everyone quickly scattered to the sides.

The fireball grazed the hem of her clothes, igniting the grass with a hissing sound.

Before they could even stand still, the young man had already drawn his sword and charged forward!

The blade reflected the moonlight, tracing a silver arc.

The cultivators hastily raised their shields to block or cast spells to counterattack, their attention completely drawn to the fireball and the man with the knife.

No one noticed the hillside above the mountain path, which was densely covered with branches and weeds.

Suddenly, a heavy thud came from there.

At first, it was muffled like distant thunder, but in the blink of an eye, it became a rushing thunder.

Ten enormous black shadows burst through the branches and swooped down!

With each step, the ground seemed to tremble, and withered branches and broken leaves flew everywhere, like a torrent of water, with a deafening roar!

The ten cultivators' expressions changed drastically. They no longer cared about the man with the knife and jumped hastily to both sides.

The figure wielding the knife ignored the roar behind him, and with a flash of light, he closed in on a fleeing cultivator.

The blade grazed his neck.

A head flew off, and blood splashed a dark red streak under the moonlight.

Before the screams could even begin, the giant shadow rushing down from the mountain had already arrived!

Taking advantage of their descent, they were as fast as arrows released from a bow, and the first one crashed into a cultivator who had no time to dodge.

The man flew out like a tattered sack, crashed into a tree, slid softly to the ground, and remained motionless.

Then came the second, the third —

The sounds of bones cracking, muffled groans, and short screams mingled with the roar of the rushing water.

In the blink of an eye, eight people fell to the ground.

Only the beautiful woman and the gray-robed old man, who were of higher cultivation, narrowly avoided the collision and retreated to the roadside under a tree, their faces already pale.

The figure wielding the knife, just as the giant shadow rushed towards him, lightly leaped three meters into the air and landed gracefully on a tree branch.

Only then, in the dim moonlight, did the beautiful woman make out the ten enormous shadows charging down; they were creatures nearly as tall as a person at the shoulders, with bared fangs and covered in short, stiff black hair—

"Pushing wild boars?!"

She gasped softly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

These first-tier demonic beasts have low intelligence and always rely on brute force to charge forward. How could they know how to ambush and launch sneak attacks?

And they cooperated so well with the Jiang family?

The ten wild boars were moving too fast and couldn't stop their downward momentum, disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye.

The figure wielding the knife leaped down, raised his knife again, and charged towards the beautiful woman and the old man in gray!

The old man in gray had already discerned the clues from the exchange just now.

The opponent's spiritual energy fluctuations were only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, but his movements were swift and his sword strikes were powerful, clearly indicating that he also cultivated the body.

In these mountains and forests, if you turn around and run away, you'll probably be caught up before you've gone more than a few steps.

He immediately shouted a warning: "Fellow Daoist Bai, the opponent is only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. The two of us working together can handle him!"

The beautiful woman caught sight of the corpses of her men scattered on the ground, and a surge of rage welled up in her chest.

She knew there were only two cultivators in the Jiang family mansion, and their strength was not a threat. So she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll attack, and you defend. As long as we can take down this person, the rest of the Jiang family are nothing to fear."

As soon as she finished speaking, her right hand had already taken out a small sword from the storage bag at her waist; the blade was slender.

The gray-robed elder simultaneously made a hand seal, and an earthen-yellow light shield floated in front of him, its surface shimmering with light and as thick as a wall.

The two men, one attacking and the other defending, charged towards the figure wielding the knife.

The mountain wind suddenly picked up, making the forest rustle and sing.

Behind the two, from the pit created by the boar pushing the mountain, another figure emerged silently.
