109: Chapter 110 Taking Advantage of the Situation
Chen Fan looked at the large map, calculating continuously in his mind.
Knowing that the fall of these Cultivators would inevitably be discovered by the Foundation Establishment Elder of the Wang Family, he immediately ordered a retreat of several dozen miles.
Although the following Qin Family Cultivators were a bit confused, they did not ask too many questions. After all, following him this entire way had brought them immense benefits, and everything had gone smoothly.
Not long after, the group arrived fifty miles away.
Once the camp was set up, Chen Fan immediately established an extremely powerful Concealment Formation and Protective Formation around it. This way, even if the enemy came, they would be unable to discover them.
And by the time the Wang Family Patriarch arrived, Ancestor Qin would have already arrived as well.
Then he could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, probing the true strength of the two.
Qin Hanshan and the others looked at the powerful Restriction with faces full of shock. They knew the other party was skilled in alchemy, but they had not expected him to be equally outstanding in Formations.
"I have now set up an extremely powerful Concealment Formation. As long as you do not leave the Formation, there will be no issues. Soon, the Wang Family Patriarch will definitely arrive; you just need to hide here."
Qin Hanshan heard the implication in his words and hurriedly asked: "What does Elder Chen mean?"
"I have urgent matters to attend to right now, so I will be leaving for a short while."
"Leaving? Right now, capturing Tiankui Mountain is a great achievement." Qin Hanshan frowned slightly, his face full of disbelief.
"I don't need this credit. After all, I am an outsider Cultivator. If I am not mistaken, it won't be long before Ancestor Qin arrives as well. By then, it will be a battle between two Foundation Establishment powerhouses. You must remember not to get involved and do not leave this place."
Although Qin Hanshan had countless doubts in his heart, seeing the other party's firm attitude, he said no more.
"Please rest assured, Elder Chen. I, Qin Hanshan, only recognize you in the Qin Family."
In truth, having followed him the whole way, he sensed that the other party's strength was unfathomable; perhaps he had already reached Foundation Establishment. Only this could explain why everything had gone so smoothly.
Chen Fan nodded slightly upon hearing this and smiled warmly.
After leaving the tent, he immediately deployed a lightweight flying boat and sped off toward the distant horizon.
To avoid encountering the Wang Family Patriarch, he deliberately took a detour.
...
Just as Chen Fan was speeding toward the Wang Family's territory, Ancestor Qin was overjoyed after receiving the battle report.
"It seems this kid really has been hiding his strength. Could it be that he is at Foundation Establishment?"
Thinking of this, his expression suddenly became grave.
"Impossible. Nowadays, Foundation Establishment is extremely difficult; it is simply not something a Qi Refining Cultivator can covet."
He paced back and forth in the hall, his face full of confusion, and finally, his expression became increasingly grave.
He slapped his Storage Pouch, took out two communication Talismans, scribbled on them continuously, and finally threw them outside the courtyard.
Not long after, the Grand Elder and the Second Elder quickly arrived at the hall.
"You must have heard the news by now! Tiankui Mountain has already been captured by our Qin Family."
"So smooth?" Great Elder Qin Yuanshan was overjoyed. It took him a long time to react, but soon a look of anxiety appeared on his face.
"You need not worry; Elder Chen is completely unharmed." Ancestor Qin smiled faintly.
After hearing this, the Second Elder looked stunned and appeared surprised, saying somewhat maliciously: "Old Ancestor, is there some hidden agenda behind this?"
"There is no mistake. According to the summary of multiple reports, the Wang Family Cultivators have suffered heavy losses. Because of this, I have no choice but to step in. After all these years, I truly do not know what the cultivation level of this old friend of mine is."
Having said this, he ordered everyone to set off.
...
Although the Wang Family had lost many elite Cultivators, their foundation still remained, and there were still many Peak Qi Refining Stage Cultivators within the clan.
The clan was like facing a great enemy; the protective shield had long been activated.
Through the hushed whispers of the Cultivators entering and leaving, Chen Fan confirmed that the Wang Family Patriarch was leading a portion of the Cultivators toward Tiankui Mountain.
"This Formation is somewhat interesting; it has three layers in total, but it is incomplete."
After observing for a while, he quickly discovered the flaws in it.
The battle in the surrounding areas was tight, and from time to time, injured Cultivators returned. After all, they were of the same clan, so they could not be left to die.
The Formation began to loosen, allowing the clansmen outside to enter.
Chen Fan smiled faintly and walked slowly toward the entrance.
The Wang Family Cultivators were shocked to discover a stranger in black approaching and hurriedly summoned their Magical Artifacts.
"Who goes there?"
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and unleashed a blast of extremely thick mana.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The guarding Cultivators could not resist at all; they spat out mouthfuls of blood and fell to the ground like kites with broken strings.
The swarming Cultivators felt the powerful Foundation Establishment pressure and were terrified, retreating one after another.
However, strangely, Chen Fan did not make a move to kill them, but instead headed straight for the back mountain.
His purpose was very clear: the Family resources.
He did not want to watch the Wang Family be destroyed just like that, giving Ancestor Qin a free gain. Furthermore, the Purple Mansion Cultivators above were also watching this place; if things blew up, it would only cause trouble.
Not long after, he quickly arrived at the Family treasury.
A blast of extremely thick mana was unleashed, and the massive stone door shattered with a boom.
Chen Fan probed slightly and gathered all the valuable cultivation resources into his Storage Pouch.
Afterward, his expression sank slightly as he headed toward the Immortal Cave where the Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor resided.
There was a layer of powerful Restriction on it, emitting ripples; it was quite strenuous to break.
"It seems I have no choice but to unleash a rare treasure."
Chen Fan slammed his Storage Pouch, and the Soul-Devouring Profound Heavenly Treasure whistled out. After channeling a spell, strands of lightning rippled across it.
With a "crackle," the power of the lightning suddenly increased, emitting a web of electricity that struck it with full force.
Not long after, cracks soon appeared on the Restriction.
Seeing that it was effective, Chen Fan unleashed another blast of mana.
With a "bang," the Restriction suddenly shattered.
An extremely rich wave of Spiritual Qi dispersed from within, making one feel incomparably comfortable.
"What is inside?"
Chen Fan did not walk directly inside; instead, he released a wisp of Divine Sense to carefully probe. He dared not enter another person's Immortal Cave casually; what if there were traps?
However, these worries were all superfluous. After confirming there was no danger inside, he cautiously walked in.
The sight before him made him overjoyed. He saw a massive spirit tree standing within, its entire body emerald green, like a piece of jade, emitting extremely rich Spiritual Qi.
"I didn't expect this Wang Old Ancestor to actually possess such a Tier 2 spirit tree. No wonder his cultivation is so profound."
Chen Fan smiled faintly, waved his long sleeve, and gathered it into his Storage Pouch.
Then his gaze fell upon a massive stone tablet in the Immortal Cave, which was inscribed with an ancient Formation; it was quite profound.
Chen Fan could not understand it for a moment, so he also gathered it into his Storage Pouch.
Finally, he looked around and did not find anything special, so he walked toward the outside of the mountain.
Chen Fan always felt that things were a bit strange. After soul-searching a Cultivator who looked like an Elder, he discovered that there were other variables behind the war between the two families. He was greatly shocked and immediately quickened his pace.
The surrounding Cultivators dared not resist at all; they watched from afar with faces full of both terror and shock.
Only after confirming that the other party had gone far away did they gather quickly to report the situation.
...
Just as Chen Fan was speeding toward the Qin Family, the two Foundation Establishment powerhouses on that side were already fighting with all their might.
Both of them had looks of surprise on their faces; neither had expected the other's true cultivation to be so high.
