118: Zheng Tianming!
A sinister glint flashed in Huang Moyuan's eyes.
Their Huang Family had coveted the second-order Spiritual Vein of the Zheng Family's ancestral land on Moon Cliff Mountain for a long time.
Without a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to guard it, the Zheng Family could be annihilated with a flick of their fingers.
If they could destroy the Zheng Family, then everything would be theirs!
At that time, their Huang Family might be able to rise to a higher level by stepping on the bones of the Zheng Family.
Just as Huang Moyuan was about to pressure the Zheng Family further, a vast Spiritual Pressure emanated from deep within the Zheng Family, accompanied by a majestic voice.
"Is the Huang Family so devoid of people? Sending a Junior like you to provoke, so lacking in manners. I shall teach you a lesson on behalf of Old Ghost Huang, to make you understand how to respect a Senior!"
"Not good!"
Huang Moyuan felt the vast Spiritual Pressure approaching, and his spiritual sense warned him frantically; he immediately had a bad premonition.
He was about to activate his magical power and wield his Magical Artifact to resist this pressure, but it was too late.
Bang!
A terrifying force descended, like an ant trying to shake a tree. Although he was a Qi Refining Great Perfection Cultivator, he was powerless against this vast Spiritual Pressure.
In the next instant, Huang Moyuan, along with his Magical Artifact, was sent flying a long distance, crashing heavily against a distant mountain wall.
"Go back and tell Old Ghost Huang, if he has something, he should come to me in person!"
The majestic voice came again, making the eardrums of the Huang Family members ache.
"It was my disrespect, Senior, please don't be offended!"
Huang Moyuan climbed up from the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Although his whole body was in severe pain, he still endured it.
He was not so arrogant as to disrespect a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so he quickly cupped his fists and bowed in the direction of the Zheng Family's ancestral land.
"Today, I was presumptuous. I shall take my leave now!"
Since the Old Ancestor of Zheng Family was still there, Huang Moyuan knew that no matter what, he couldn't do anything to the Zheng Family today, and staying longer would only be asking for trouble.
Suppressing the unwillingness in his heart, he led the pale-faced Huang Family members, who were terrified, and left dejectedly.
After the Huang Family members left, a thunderous cheer erupted from the Zheng Family.
"Hahaha, it's the Old Ancestor! I knew the Old Ancestor was fine!"
"Hmph, wasn't the Huang Family very arrogant? The Old Ancestor spoke, and they were scared shitless and scrammed!"
"They are just clowns, do they really think our Zheng Family is easy to bully? Long live the Old Ancestor!"
"Long live the Old Ancestor!"
"Long live the Old Ancestor!"
"Old Ancestor..."
Cheers echoed throughout Moon Cliff Mountain.
However, Zheng Yaoxing, as the Family Head, showed no excitement.
Others didn't know, but he sensed that something was wrong.
When did the Old Ancestor become so gentle?
Although Huang Moyuan was just taught a lesson by the Old Ancestor, if it were in the past, the Old Ancestor would definitely have used thunderous methods to kill this group of Huang Family Cultivators.
Regardless of whether doing so would anger the Huang Family.
One must know that the Huang Family Cultivators gathered today were basically the high-ranking and pillars of the Huang Family.
Especially Huang Moyuan, his status in the Huang Family was equivalent to his own; he was the contemporary Family Head of the Huang Family and one of the Huang Family's Foundation Establishment seeds.
If all of them were left behind, the Huang Family would definitely suffer a great loss of Origin Qi, and there might even be a phenomenon of a lack of new talent or even a gap in Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
At that time, they would only need to wait until the Huang Family's Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor's Lifespan ran out, and the Huang Family would no longer have the strength to contend with the Zheng Family.
But this time, the Old Ancestor only issued a deterrent and took no substantial action.
This was very inconsistent with the Old Ancestor's usual ruthless style of doing things.
But looking at the Zheng Family Cultivators still cheering below, Zheng Yaoxing did not stop them.
The pent-up frustration accumulated by the Zheng Family during these days needed to be vented.
At this moment, the Old Ancestor's voice suddenly rang in Zheng Yaoxing's mind.
"Come to the back mountain to see me!"
Zheng Yaoxing's heart sank; he heard the undeniable weakness hidden in the Old Ancestor's voice.
Suppressing the anxious emotions in his heart, he no longer delayed and flew on his sword towards the back mountain.
Deep in the back mountain of the Zheng Family was the core area of the Moon Cliff Mountain's second-order Spiritual Vein, and also the region where the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was most concentrated.
It was the place where Zheng Tianming, the Zheng Family's only Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor, cultivated in seclusion.
Normally, without the Old Ancestor's permission, no one could enter, including Zheng Yaoxing himself.
At this time, inside the cultivation room in the back mountain.
Zheng Tianming, with a pale Face, circulated his Cultivation Technique, absorbing Spiritual Qi, and adjusting the chaotic magical power in his body.
A few years ago, this strange symptom had plagued him, and over these years, no matter what method he used, he couldn't get rid of it.
At first, he could still suppress the abnormality with his powerful strength.
But as time passed, this situation became more and more serious, and it had gradually begun to affect his Cultivation.
Yet, he racked his brain and still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Ultimately, he could only attribute it to the monstrous slaughter he committed during his trip to Green Bamboo Market, which caused him to be tainted by something unclean.
On the path of cultivation, one often hears a saying:
'Karma and Reincarnation, retribution is inevitable.'
He used to scoff at it, firmly believing that his destiny was his own, not heaven's.
As long as one's strength was sufficient, all Karma would not cling to him.
Moreover, they were just a group of ants who died, and he didn't care at all.
But now he was afraid.
Especially the scene of today.
How similar it was to the day he descended upon Green Bamboo Market and threatened the Murong Family!
"This is retribution..."
He hadn't thought about killing all the Huang Family members, but he couldn't do that.
If he pushed the Huang Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivator too hard, with his current extremely poor condition, he would be no match for that person.
At that time, the Zheng Family would only fall into an irreversible situation.
Without finding a way to resolve the abnormal phenomenon, driving away the Huang Family Cultivators was the best solution.
Zheng Tianming sighed.
He didn't know how long his current condition would last, and the Zheng Family urgently needed a new Foundation Establishment Cultivator to emerge.
Aside from the new generation of Zheng Family Cultivators, the only one currently with hope of Breaking Through to Foundation Establishment was Zheng Yaoxing.
He called Zheng Yaoxing over because he wanted to give him some resources to help him Break Through as soon as possible.
Feeling Zheng Yaoxing's aura gradually approaching, Zheng Tianming was about to open the Restriction to let him in.
But at this moment.
It was as if a terrifying force suddenly descended into his Physical Body, as if to tear him alive, and intense pain struck.
His spiritual Sea of Consciousness also began to become Chaos, as if it would shatter at any moment.
"Crap, it's happening again!"
Zheng Tianming's Face flushed, and he could no longer suppress the rampaging magical power within his body.
A mouthful of fresh blood suddenly spewed out.
His aura plummeted dramatically, and his expression became listless.
"Old Ancestor, what's wrong?"
"Old Ancestor..."
A buzzing sound came from his ears, vaguely discernible as Zheng Yaoxing's anxious voice.
But Zheng Tianming was now too preoccupied to receive Zheng Yaoxing.
He hurriedly took out some rare spiritual items, Medicinal Pills, and spiritual liquid from his Storage Pouch.
Then he began to frantically activate his magical power, starting to refine the spiritual items to heal his injuries.
He could feel that this time, the abnormal symptoms were more ferocious than ever before.
If he didn't continue to deal with it, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he might even experience a drop in Cultivation.
Now, with wolves circling the Zheng Family from outside, as the only Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Family, he absolutely could not afford to have anything happen to him!
If he fell, the Zheng Family would Face utter destruction!
