Wuliang Immortal Clan

Across the Sanbai River lies a peach orchard, where peach blossoms are in full bloom, filling the air with fragrance for miles around.

Deep within the peach grove, there were three or five wooden houses. This place was on the edge of the Ma family's power base. Inside the wooden houses, three people sat back to back in a triangular formation.

"Boom!"

The earth began to tremble, and the youngest person suddenly opened their eyes.

"Thirteenth Uncle, Fourteenth Uncle, the earth dragon has turned over!"

"Don't panic, lie in the peach blossom grove, and the wind will rise and carry you down to the river!"

The middle-aged man he called Uncle Thirteen slowly opened his eyes.

With narrow eyes and a bulbous nose, he casually uttered a line of classical poetry.

"Nian Xiong, hurry up and run with your thirteenth uncle. You know he's a slowpoke."

My dear thirteenth brother, even if you're good at lecturing, you should consider whether the time is right for you.

Without saying a word, the other person grabbed his arm and rushed out, ignoring everything else.

As soon as the three rushed out of the wooden house, the roof beams snapped with a loud crash.

"Sanshirakawa!"

Ma Nianxiong stared wide-eyed as a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the river that nourished the peach orchard not far away, and large chunks of soil on the riverbank collapsed under the impact of the river water.

In just a few breaths, all the river water disappeared into the whirlpool.

"When the water recedes, the great river changes..."

Ma Nianxiong stared speechlessly at his thirteenth uncle, who was only now realizing what was happening.

"Fourteenth Uncle, what's going on? What does this strange change in the heavens and earth signify?"

"Either some extraordinary treasure has appeared, or some great master has perished."

"Does the fall of a master mean the earth will rise again? I know they are very strong, but what about this situation?"

"When a cultivator falls, their cultivation does not simply vanish into thin air."

Spiritual energy will concentrate in several locations, and spiritual beings will grow from their eyes, while their spines will transform into mountains.

The rest depends on which type of cultivation technique the cultivator specializes in. If the cultivator specializes in wood-based techniques, the spiritual energy will be concentrated in the liver area, and then a large forest will grow there.

If one's primary cultivation element is metal, the lungs, which belong to the metal element, will manifest as continuous mines; other elements will transform into rivers, lakes, seas, or spiritual fields.

When Ma Nianxiong heard this for the first time, he looked at his fourteenth uncle in disbelief.

"Fourteenth Uncle, that's impossible. Although cultivators are very strong, they only have so few internal organs."

"Do you know the history of the Xu family's Samsung Geng gold mine across from us?"

Ma Nianxiong's heart skipped a beat, his lips trembled, and he looked at him.

"You mean...?"

"That place originally belonged to our Ma family; it was transformed from the body of one of our Ma family ancestors after his death."

It was just that there was a deviation in location, and it fell into the territory of the Xu family. The Sanbai River was formed from the meridians of that ancestor.

"Over the years, the Xu family's relentless mining of the Sanxing Gengjin mine has been a desecration of our Ma family ancestors. If given the chance in the future, we will definitely reclaim it."

Upon hearing what his thirteenth uncle said, Ma Nianxiong's eyes instantly turned bloodshot as he stared intently at the Xu family's location not far away.

"Our ancestors are above us; their descendants will surely be mortal enemies with the Xu family in the future."

Ma Nian knelt down fiercely and kowtowed three times towards the distance, his voice filled with a chilling roar.

"Good child, get up quickly. The ancestors know your intentions. Quickly send the message back to the family."

……

At this moment, on Wuliang Mountain, the Xu family patriarch, who was healing his injuries, suddenly frowned, and the ground beneath his feet trembled.

"A fellow Daoist has fallen, and a portion of his legacy has fallen into the hands of our Xu family."

"Elder, come with me immediately to the location of the relics."

The clan chief's originally pale face became much rosier, and this news seemed to have boosted his morale considerably.

"good!"

Inside the underground cavern, Xu Yuanlang pressed his body against the wall, his left toes barely touching a protrusion in the stone wall, one hand tightly gripping a wild boar tusk embedded deep in the stone wall, and the other hand desperately reaching forward.

Less than a foot from his fingertips, there was a crack about an inch wide. That crack was nothing short of a "lifeline" for him, but even though his body was stretched to its limit, he could not reach it.

A mere foot is an insurmountable chasm.

unless……

"jump over!"

He gripped the boar tusk in his right hand and exerted tremendous force. With a snap, the tusk, which was deeply embedded in the rock wall, pried the rock out.

His body sank, and then he involuntarily fell towards the cliff, his body instantly soaked with cold sweat.

The cliff beneath their feet was bottomless; if they fell, they would surely perish.

"what!"

He suddenly growled, gripping the smooth wall tightly with his left hand, his nails snapping instantly, and then he kicked out with all his might with his left leg.

The body lunged upwards, and instead of falling downwards, it silently glided through the air like a large bird spreading its wings.

But when his strength was exhausted, his body rose slightly, and then the endless gravity pulled him down.

But that was enough. He gripped the small crack tightly with his right hand, and a sharp pain shot through him instantly, but he did not loosen his grip even for a moment.

"Bang!"

His body slammed hard against the stone wall, and a dull thud came from his ribs, as if several bones had broken.

"Hoo-ho!"

He exhaled inhuman gasps, his grip unyielding despite the sweat and blood mingling with his breath.

"Boom!"

Just as he was catching his breath, another loud noise came from beneath his feet, as if something was flying upwards from below.

"We still have to climb!"

Xu Yuanlang felt his scalp tingle; at this moment, he was already incredibly lucky to have survived.

He dared not gamble on his luck any longer and hurriedly climbed upwards.

"Yuen Long was buried underground?"

Xu Yuanzhen was the eldest grandson of the Grand Elder. After hearing his report, the Grand Elder hesitated for a moment.

"I understand. I'll go down and search; after all, it's our own home..."

The First Elder's brow, which had been etched with an unyielding gloom, suddenly revealed a look of astonishment and fury.

"The Ma family bastards are here. Yuan Zhen, go and make preparations."

Xu Yuanzhen looked behind him and saw several unfamiliar auras approaching the Xu family's territory like venomous snakes.

Like the Xu family, the Ma family's pillars are both Foundation Establishment cultivators.

They were sitting on the backs of two large, featherless birds, one old and one young.

The old man looked quite similar in age to the Grand Elder, while the younger man was a young man dressed in white, holding a jade fan in his hand. Upon seeing the two, he lightly stomped his heel.

The two large birds immediately landed obediently. When they came close, Xu Yuanzhen's expression was normal, but his heart felt as if it had been doused with ice water.

The two featherless birds had human faces, their mouths had been replaced by round beaks, their arms stretched backward, and a layer of fleshy wings connected to their bodies.

It appears that it can only fly by relying on these fleshy wings, and its feet have turned into four toes, gripping the ground tightly.

They are over ten feet tall, and when they land, their wings fold up, making them look like two giants from a distance.

"Ma Benxin, you're still alive!"

"Haha, Xu Xuanting, how could I die if you're not dead!"
