112: Chapter 112 Encounter

After learning this news, the Lin Family immediately dispatched a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to investigate and determine the situation here.

It would be fine if there were no danger, but if some unpredictable change occurred, their Lin Family was the closest and naturally would be the first to be affected.

After arriving here, that Foundation Establishment Cultivator first specifically asked the patrolling Cultivator team what had happened.

However, they did not know how to explain it.

"Yuchen, I am unclear about what is here, but when we came to patrol previously, there was never such a situation, and I do not know why this place was suddenly shrouded in mist," the elder also said doubtfully.

"None before?" Lin Yuchen was puzzled in his heart. Suddenly, he looked towards the opposite Cang Prefecture territory; could the opposite Chen Family be up to something? If they really wanted to cause trouble within his Lin Family's range, then they shouldn't blame his side for personally visiting to pay a call.

After all, the Lin Family, together with him who had just advanced to Foundation Establishment a few years ago, had four Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Before the beast tide broke out, there were even five Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Although two had died, their Lin Family's Old Ancestor with the highest seniority was still alive, and moreover, he was a Cultivator whose cultivation had reached the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment.

No matter how formidable Chen Changqing of the Chen Family was, it was impossible for him to deal with four Foundation Establishment practitioners at the same time.

However, he seemed to have heard that the Chen Family of Wuyue Mountain had a certain connection with the Chen Family of Qingyang Mountain. Thinking of this, his expression became somewhat solemn.

He turned his head and said to the elder, "Thirteenth Uncle, I understand. I will go investigate first." Having said that, he walked into the mist.

Just as Lin Yuchen broke into the mist, Chen Lingyang, who was on duty, suddenly felt a wave of palpitation, with a lingering feeling that something bad was going to happen next.

Meanwhile, Chen Changqi by the side noticed Chen Lingyang's abnormality and asked: "Lingyang, what happened?"

Chen Lingyang shook his head and said: "It's nothing, Seventeenth Uncle, I just suddenly felt a little palpitation."

Although Chen Changqi was one generation higher than Chen Lingyang, he was actually only one year older than Chen Lingyang, and his cultivation was not as good as Chen Lingyang's either, barely reaching the sixth layer of Qi Refining by now. Even though the Family had exhausted all efforts to cultivate its clansmen over the years, his Five Spiritual Roots Aptitude ultimately still restricted him.

After a while longer, Chen Lingyang's palpitation became more and more obvious. At this time, that Lin Family Foundation Establishment Cultivator Lin Yuchen also discovered a trace of abnormality; he could vaguely perceive that this mist was created by a Formation.

However, he could not break the Formation and could not find the Formation's deployment area, because this mist not only had hallucinogenic effects, but also possessed the miraculous effect of suppressing the Divine Soul.

He immediately rushed out of the Formation and reported the situation here to the Family, so that the Family could dispatch Magical Artifacts or Talismans for breaking Formations.

The next day.

Another team of Lin Family Cultivators arrived. This time, as many as ten Qi Refining Cultivators came. As for why they did not continue to dispatch Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it was mainly because they were worried that this commotion was caused by the Chen Family. Sending too many Foundation Establishment Cultivators would instead make the Chen Family think they were coming to declare war. After all, turning hostile when the two families had no conflict of interest whatsoever brought no benefit to their Lin Family, unless there was a treasure here that even their Lin Family cared about.

This was also one of the reasons why the Lin Family had to take action against this place, because the Chen Family would not idle around and deploy a Formation of this scale here for no reason.

Lin Yuchen took a Second-Order Low Grade Boundary-Breaking Talisman from the hands of a clansman and stepped forward. That group of Qi Refining Cultivators all stepped back together.

Lin Yuchen channeled his internal magical power into the Talisman, and once he stimulated the Talisman's might, he casually patted it forward.

Boom!

A scorching beam of light instantly poured out. In just the blink of an eye, all the mist in its path was completely evaporated. Immediately after, this scorching beam of light seemed to pierce through a wall, and a burst of shattering sounds rang out.

Chen Lingyang and the other person watched in shock as such a terrifying attack descended. Fortunately, this attack was not aimed at them, and after breaking the Second-Order Formation, its power also plummeted rapidly, finally turning into a lingering ray of light and disappearing.

"There really is someone," Lin Yuchen said happily. The other Lin Family Qi Refining clansmen looked at the two people who only had the aura of the Qi Refinement Stage with covetous and fierce eyes.

"Quickly notify the Family," Chen Lingyang said to Chen Changqi. As for why he didn't notify Chen Changxuan, it was mainly because notifying him in the current situation wouldn't be of much use. Moreover, the three of them had already been alerted by this strike and successively walked out of their closed-door Immortal Caves.

"What is going on, Lingyang?" Chen Changxuan looked at that young Cultivator with a terrifying aura, feeling shocked in his heart. He also didn't know why a Foundation Establishment Cultivator had suddenly arrived here, and behind him were more than a dozen Qi Refining Cultivators.

"I am not clear either, but looking at their appearance, they seem to be from the Lin Family," Chen Lingyang explained.

Chen Changxuan had also noticed this point, but he hadn't expected that such a remote place could actually attract the attention of the Lin Family. Moreover, this was Cang Prefecture; what were Cultivators from their Qing Prefecture doing here?

Thinking of this, he stepped forward to inquire, neither servile nor overbearing, "Senior, this is our Chen Family outpost. For what reason did you break our Chen Family's Formation? Please give an answer, Senior."

"Heh, your Chen Family has actually deployed a Formation right onto our Lin Family's territory. You ask me for what reason? You are not qualified enough to make me continue explaining; have that Chen Changqing of your Chen Family come forward." Lin Yuchen's tone was low, not putting Chen Changxuan in his eyes in the slightest.

Hearing this, Chen Changxuan's expression remained as usual, "Then please wait a moment, Senior."

Lin Yuchen ignored Chen Changxuan and instead instructed his own clansmen, "You few go down first to investigate what the Chen Family is doing here."

"Yes." Several Qi Refining Cultivators received the order and wanted to enter the cave, ignoring the Chen Family's Cultivators.

Chen Lingyang and the others wanted to stop them, but the Lin Family's Cultivators relied on having more people and were not afraid.

Naturally, Chen Changxuan wouldn't just let them go down casually; otherwise, the Chen Family's secret here would be found out by them.

"You want to fight? Just based on the likes of you," a Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Perfection from the Lin Family mocked.

"Just based on us." Chen Lingyang's gaze was gloomy.

"In that case, don't blame us for bullying the few with many," that Cultivator said.

Then he unleashed a set of blue Flying Swords toward Chen Lingyang.

"A complete set of Magical Artifacts." Chen Lingyang and the others were surprised, while the opposing Cultivators wore mocking expressions.

How could a mere Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator be compared with our Lin Family's Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator?

Chen Lingyang was only surprised and not afraid. The red-gold Flying Sword inside his Storage Pouch instantly flew out and became entangled with that set of blue Flying Swords.

Now it was the turn of those Lin Family Cultivators to be surprised. They hadn't expected that a single Flying Sword could actually block their own clansman's set of Flying Swords.

The two fought fiercely for a while, finding that neither could take down the other in a short time. That Lin Family Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator winked at his own clansmen, and those Cultivators understood, all taking action.

Seeing this, Chen Changxuan and the others also took action together.

Although the five of them were far fewer in number than the opponent, relying on their strength and a fierce drive, they managed to barely hold off the opponent.
