Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

[Level 2 Intelligence: This morning in the Bone Forest of Yingchuan County, a fourth-tier demonic beast, the Black Cloud Poisonous Dragon, devoured a third-tier demonic beast, the Azure-Eyed Toad. Its cultivation has reached the peak of the fourth tier. If you wish to go there, please proceed with caution.]

[Level 2 Intelligence: This afternoon, a 500-year-old, third-tier spiritual plant, the Crimson Blood Silver Bone Wood, was found in the Tianxia Valley area on the outskirts of the Wanling Mountains in Yanxing County. It is guarded by a group of second-tier demonic beasts, the Ironwood Apes. If you wish to go there, please be careful when picking it.]

[Level 3 Intelligence: This morning, a Golden Core demon beast, the Blood Fiend Ape offspring, was patrolling its territory near the Cloud Dream Pool within the Wanling Mountains of Yanxing County. If you wish to proceed, please proceed with caution.]

Inside the cave, Zhang Lingyu was shamelessly flipping through today's intelligence reports.

"This beast is already at the peak of the fourth rank. It seems that he might really become a Golden Core Demon King in a few decades."

Upon seeing this first piece of intelligence, he finally took it seriously. If a Golden Core Demon King were to emerge from a small county like Yingchuan, it would be a fatal blow to the entire county.

At that point, they will have no choice but to seek help from Nascent Soul sects like Jade Light Pavilion.

"We need to find a reason to remind the family."

Zhang Lingyu had not forgotten the disheveled appearance of Zhang Xingyao and the other two family heads. If it weren't for their respective family fortunes, they might not have been able to escape from the other side.

Moreover, if the other party had chased after them from the Forest of Dead Bones, that would have truly driven everyone to despair.

After silently noting this down in his mind, he looked at the other two pieces of information.

The second point is also worth noting: Crimson Blood Silver Bone Wood is a rare spiritual object and an excellent material for crafting Foundation Establishment magic artifacts.

As for the third point, he didn't pay much attention to it.

It's common for the offspring of a Golden Core Demon King to patrol their own territory, and they can't possibly enter the outer areas, so there's nothing to worry about.

Only a fool would enter the inner circle without the accompaniment of a Golden Core cultivator.

-----------------

The outer perimeter of the Wanling Mountains.

Zhang Lingxiao and his sister have been accompanying the six "chosen ones" of the sect for nearly ten days and are currently resting at their camp.

The team consisted of fifteen people, three of whom were Foundation Establishment cultivators, while the rest were all at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Such a team could easily wipe out a Foundation Establishment family.

"Senior Brother Wang, are we now close to the inner Yunmeng Youtan?"

A young man in brocade robes looked at the map in his hand and asked a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was always by his side:

"I remember my grandfather saying that there was a fourth-tier spirit tree in the Yunmeng Youtan, and it has already borne fruit by now."

"Young Master Li is right."

The cultivator surnamed Wang was slightly taken aback, not expecting the young man to ask this, and replied:

"Yes, we are only ten miles away from the inner perimeter. If we head east, Yunmeng Youtan is thirty miles away."

"As for the spirit tree you mentioned, I have also heard of it."

The young man smiled after hearing this, but didn't speak. Instead, he turned to the other Golden Core disciples who had come for training and asked:

"Fellow junior brothers and sisters, would you like to visit the Cloud Dream Pool? Even if you don't pick any spiritual fruits, the scenery there is extremely beautiful."

"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked troubled. Before they came, their elders had warned them that they must not enter the inner area, as it was the territory of the Golden Core Demon King, and they might lose their lives.

Upon hearing this, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators surnamed Wang and the others immediately changed their expressions and hurriedly tried to dissuade him:

"Young Master Li, you absolutely mustn't go! Didn't we agree before we came that we'd only stay on the outer perimeter and not enter the inner area?"

All three of them were late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the outer monsters were almost no match for them, but the inner ones were a different story.

Not to mention the Golden Core Demon King, the opponent has quite a few peak fourth-tier demon beasts under his command, and they are simply powerless to deal with them in their current state.

"What are you afraid of? Yunmeng Youtan isn't the residence of a Golden Core Demon King. At most, it's just some third- or fourth-tier demon beasts. Aren't the three of you more than capable of handling them?"

The more the three Foundation Establishment cultivators tried to persuade him, the more enthusiastic this young master became:

"Besides, the Cloud Dream Pool isn't far from the outer perimeter. If we notice anything unusual, we can just run. How could they possibly chase us all the way to the outer perimeter?"

"this..."

The Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Wang hesitated. Indeed, many Foundation Establishment cultivators had risked entering the inner area for spiritual treasures and had all returned successfully.

That being said, what if the Golden Core Demon King is patrolling the Cloud Dream Pool?

They have a heavy responsibility and cannot easily go in.

If he were allowed to go to the Cloud Dream Pool to pick the spiritual fruit himself, he would grit his teeth and go, but there was absolutely no room for negotiation at this moment!

The Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Wang exchanged a glance with the other two beside him and said in unison:

"There is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter!"

Having said that, he was about to ride the wind, carrying the six Golden Core descendants towards Tianliu City.

Even if they are punished when they go back, they will accept it; they can't just go in and lose their lives for nothing.

This scene caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically. Zhang Lingxiao and his siblings did not step forward to stop them; they were eager to go back as soon as possible, as they had already caused enough trouble day after day.

Unexpectedly, the young master surnamed Li actually took out a top-grade fourth-tier talisman and said sternly:

"Wang Xu, what are you three thinking about?!"

"What, you want to force me to go back? A bunch of cowards who fear death, no wonder you haven't become an outer sect elder after all this time."

"A top-grade fourth-tier talisman!"

Wang Xu and the other two changed color and quickly used their magic to protect the other five people, in case the other party really did something stupid.

Although these words felt like a slap in the face to the three of them, and despite their inner rage, they dared not show it and could only offer gentle advice:

"Young Master, the inner perimeter is really not a place we should go."

"Hehe, if you guys aren't going, I'll go myself."

The boy sneered, glanced at the group behind him, and seeing that no one was following, quickly ran towards the Cloud Dream Pool, not forgetting to turn back and threaten:

"If you don't keep up, and something happens to me, you'll all lose your heads!"

"Damn it, if you're going to die, don't drag me down with you!"

Wang Xu cursed inwardly and looked at the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators with a wry smile:

"My two junior brothers, what do you think we should do now?"

"What can we do..."

The other two were also extremely frustrated. Having this master was their misfortune, but they couldn't just ignore him. One of them suggested:

"I'll take the other five back first. Senior Brother Wang, you and Senior Brother Sun go and bring him back."

"It's fine to be tough on people; the worst that can happen is we'll get scolded when we get back."

"it is good."

The two nodded in unison. If they hadn't been worried that the fourth-grade top-quality talisman in the other party's hand would affect the other five people, they would have intervened forcefully long ago.

After the matter was settled, Wang Xu looked at Zhang Lingxiao and the others, and said in a deep voice:

"Fellow junior brothers and sisters, those whose names I call, please follow me. You probably know what kind of punishment we will face if the other party encounters danger."

"Ding Qiwen, Chai Yong, Huang Fenghua, Fei Xi... and Zhang Lingxiao, come with me."

He counted eight people in one go before stopping, while the rest of the people escorted the remaining five Golden Core descendants back to Tianliu City.

"yes..."

Zhang Lingxiao and the others looked very bad, but what could they do now?

I had no choice but to obediently ride the wind and follow.

Zhang Lingyue watched her elder brother's departing figure with great worry, but she was powerless to do anything about it and could only follow the others back first.
