107: Chapter 108 Schemes and Conquest

The Second Elder wore an expression of worry, but in his heart, he hoped for the other side to be completely annihilated and perish.

"There is no need. Elder Chen possesses great strength. If he can truly make an outstanding contribution to the Family, I will utilize Family resources to purchase a foundation establishment pill for him."

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder was greatly shocked, never having expected his Old Ancestor to be so biased toward an outsider.

Over these years, he had managed to reach the Peak Qi Refining Stage with great difficulty, only to remain stagnant due to the lack of a foundation establishment pill. Thinking of this, his jealousy and hatred toward Chen Fan grew even stronger.

After calming down slightly, he said, "Old Ancestor, that man is merely a person with a False Spiritual Root; I fear one pill will not be enough!"

"Is that so? That would be a pity, but in this world, anything can happen. What if he succeeds in Foundation Establishment?"

A sinister look appeared on Ancestor Qin's face, mixed with a trace of hope.

"Two pills?" The Second Elder was even more shocked. Nowadays, the foundation establishment pill was extremely rare; he didn't know how much of the Family's resources would be spent on two of them.

Just as the two were talking, Chen Fan had already boarded the Family's flying boat and was speeding toward the distant horizon.

Behind him, Qin Hanshan and Qin Zhong wore expressions of worry.

Tiankui Mountain was not only guarded by several powerful Cultivators but also possessed a formidable mountain-protecting array, making it impossible to be breached in a short period.

"Elder Chen, this is some information your subordinate has gathered. It is said that Tiankui Mountain is heavily guarded; besides the Wang Family Cultivators, there are also many people from affiliated families."

Chen Fan took a brief glance, his expression indifferent.

To him, breaching this place was as easy as turning over one's hand; the most important thing right now was not to let anyone discover that he possessed Foundation Establishment strength.

"It seems Ancestor Qin is quite patient. Then we shall take it one step at a time."

Chen Fan smiled faintly and returned to the cabin to sit cross-legged and meditate.

"I am now at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. Although I have many handy Magical Artifacts, these Foundation Establishment Cultivators are all incredibly cunning; I must absolutely not let my guard down."

Chen Fan carefully reviewed the Jade Slip regarding Tiankui Mountain again, then consumed a Medicinal Pill and began to Cultivate diligently.

Since advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Xuantian Technique and Tyrant Body Technique had upgraded accordingly; both Cultivation Techniques could now be cultivated to the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

Their power was far greater than his current techniques, but cultivating them was extremely arduous and consumed more resources.

Seven days later, the flying boat finally reached its destination and slowly came to a stop a great distance from Tiankui Mountain.

The moment it landed, multiple Divine Senses rapidly probed over.

Once the flying boat had come to a steady stop, Chen Fan immediately released his powerful Divine Sense to investigate carefully.

There were far more Cultivators stationed at Tiankui Mountain than the information on the Jade Slip indicated. There were four at the Peak Qi Refining Stage alone, and the rest were all at the Middle Stage and Early Stage of Qi Refining, totaling sixty people.

In other words, the Wang Family placed special importance on this place; aside from the fact that no Foundation Establishment experts had come, basically all of the Family's elites were present.

After finishing his investigation, he walked out of the cabin slowly.

"Elder Chen."

Everyone on the flying boat bowed in salute, their expressions extremely grave. Not to mention how many Cultivators were in the mountain, just looking at the mountain-protecting array before them was enough to make one gasp.

Chen Fan smiled faintly. Within five days, he would certainly be able to breach this place.

Qin Hanshan and Qin Zhong were secretly shocked, but having previously followed him to consecutively breach three Qi Refining families, their doubts quickly diminished.

"For now, we will first construct an encampment. Just wait for my orders when the time comes."

"Yes."

Before long, a huge encampment was quickly constructed.

To prevent surprise attacks, Chen Fan quickly set up a defensive Restriction and a concealment Restriction all around. From a distance, one could not discover that there were Restrictions outside the tents at all.

Just as the Qin Family members were extremely busy, several Peak Qi Refining Stage Cultivators at Tiankui Mountain did not take it to heart.

"I thought what kind of Cultivators the Qin Family would send, but I did not expect there to be only one at the Peak Qi Refining Stage. They clearly do not take us seriously at all."

The one speaking was an extremely burly Cultivator, his gaze filled with disdain.

"Indeed. My scouts reported that this person is merely a Matrilocal son-in-law, who was once an Alchemist..."

A middle-aged Thin Tall Cultivator slowly sipped some spiritual tea and shook his head indifferently.

At this moment, he did not mention the matter of the other party slaughtering several Qi Refining families; in his eyes, those local cultivation families were simply vulnerable.

"Our Wang Family has been established here for hundreds of years; how could a small Qin Family shake us? Now that they have come from afar, we should attack directly."

An older man coughed slightly, and a faint trace of Killing Intent appeared on his face.

"But the Old Ancestor has repeatedly instructed that we must never take the initiative to attack. We can only hold our ground here and wait for the situation to change." The burly Cultivator smoothed his long sleeves, his expression grave.

"The Old Ancestor's original intention must have been that if a Foundation Establishment Cultivator came, we should just hold our ground. But right now, it is merely a Qi Refining Cultivator. If we can kill him directly, it will be especially important for boosting our Wang Family's morale."

The old man rolled his eyes and said dismissively.

Upon these words, the atmosphere in the hall was no longer so subdued; the others were all smiles and nodded repeatedly.

"There is no time to lose. I will attack tonight and kill all these Qin Family Cultivators."

The old man surnamed Wang stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with excitement.

He naturally knew about Chen Fan's affairs, and he was even more interested in the other party's identity. As long as he captured him, he could make him a pill slave.

"Good, it is decided." The burly Cultivator nodded repeatedly.

Before long, the sky turned completely dark.

At this moment, Chen Fan closed his eyes slightly, released his Divine Sense to pay close attention, and pondered the method of attack.

Sure enough, before long, he noticed a rustling sound in the distance.

He saw a dozen Wang Family Cultivators sneaking over and quietly ambushing around the encampment.

After looking around cautiously, the old man directly summoned a powerful Flying Sword and pointed it forward abruptly.

Upon receiving the order, the Wang Family Cultivators revealed their Killing Intent and all summoned various Magical Artifacts.

"Kill~"

After a shout, they swarmed into the encampment.

However, at the very moment they charged, they discovered something strange; a Restriction behind them slowly opened.

Then, a flash of light appeared before them, and multiple Flying Swords whistled toward them.

By the time the Flying Swords were close, the old man finally reacted, a look of amusement on his face.

"You dare to scheme like this? Today, I will certainly tear you all into pieces."

Just after saying this, he discovered that the situation was somewhat wrong.

The surrounding Family Cultivators had no chance to resist at all; after one round, more than half of the Cultivators had already perished.

As for the remaining few, they were severely injured and vomiting blood.

"I did not expect you to dare to take the initiative to attack. This way, breaking the mountain-protecting array will be much simpler."

Chen Fan walked out slowly, his face full of a light smile.

With a stretch of his hand, he directly collected the other party's Storage Pouch into his hand, and his Divine Sense landed directly on the Jade Token used to open the array.
