Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 625 - 272: Exotic Stone, Love Seed, Plant Spirit Body (Part 4)

I’m afraid that when the World Suppression Bureau is done with us, they’ll kill us off as expendable tools.

In the future.

If the Joy Sect investigates.

It would be easy to trace back to us ruining their sect’s plans.

Three solutions.

After some consideration.

Fu Changsheng said:

"After waiting for over ten years, a few more days or a couple of weeks won’t hurt. Molan, Fourth Sister, return to your positions. If you notice anyone approaching, alert each other immediately."

....

Wangu Mountain, underground cave mansion.

The cave mansion was obviously newly excavated, with fourteen stone chambers carved out in a circular shape. The doors of each stone chamber were tightly shut.

Yun Taiying sat poised in the center of the cave mansion.

He was calculating in his mind.

If he completes the mission perfectly this time, and gets a word from the ancestor at the Elder Council, then his previous mistake of angrily slaying a hundred sect novice furnaces could be wiped clean, allowing him to return to the Inner Sect.

He glanced at the hourglass placed next to him:

"Why hasn’t Niu Dazhuang from Qianya Mountain sent his daughter over yet?"

Could that man have regrets at the last minute?

Hmph!

Regret or not.

No one targeted by him could escape his clutches:

"Wait another half-hour."

If they don’t show up.

He would visit himself, since he didn’t plan to let Niu Dazhuang live anyway.

After about a quarter of an hour.

Yun Taiying was clearly impatient and was about to head to Qianya Mountain to get the person, when the Communication Jade Talisman at his waist buzzed and lit up:

"At last, they’ve come."

Yun Taiying gave a cold snort.

With a thought.

Suddenly, a Gu Insect crawled out of his body. After Yun Taiying gave it a few quick orders, the Gu Insect transformed into a streak of red light and burrowed into the ground, disappearing from sight.

After a while.

At the foot of Wangu Mountain.

The red light flashed and appeared.

Niu Dazhuang saw the Gu Insect appear, feeling relieved, and turned to his daughter Niu Chunxiu: "Chunxiu, follow this Gu Insect; the ruins I told you about are right in this Wangu Mountain, go."

Niu Chunxiu, however, grabbed her father.

Shaking her head, she said:

"Dad, you stay here. Let me go ahead and take a look. If that person set this up on purpose, at least we won’t both end up dead. It’s been hard for you to reach the Peak of Qi Cultivation; you’re just a step away from Foundation Establishment, nothing should go wrong at this point."

Niu Dazhuang guiltily turned his head.

Coughing lightly, he said:

"Chunxiu, don’t worry. That person owes me for saving his life; he’s not one to repay kindness with betrayal."

"That’s hard to say. Before she died, your mother warned us that people’s hearts in the Cultivation Realm are unfathomable and no one can be trusted. It’s better for us to be cautious."

When the deceased wife who died protecting him was mentioned.

Niu Dazhuang softened momentarily.

But thinking about the Foundation Establishment Pill that could let him establish his Foundation, he steeled his heart, nodding to avoid arousing his daughter’s suspicion:

"Alright, I’ll wait here outside. If you notice anything unusual, contact me immediately. Be careful."

"Okay."

Niu Chunxiu slapped an Earth Escape Talisman onto herself. With a flash of yellow light, she followed the Gu Insect.

In no time, she disappeared beneath the ground.

Following the Gu Insect underground for several hundred feet, she was stopped by massive stones. Just as she was puzzled, the stones shuddered slightly, forming an entrance to a cave:

"Not good!"

Niu Chunxiu’s pupils contracted.

Clearly, her too-honest father had been tricked.

She decisively turned to flee, while trying to use the Communication Jade Talisman to contact her father. However, as soon as she turned, she heard the sound of something swiftly cutting through the air, followed by a vine coiling around her like a Spiritual Snake.

The mana within her body.

Was completely immobilized by the Spirit Vine.

Turning her head.

She saw a red-robed man with a veiled face approaching her in the cave mansion. The man’s aura was clearly at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and even stronger than the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment she’d felt from the Xu Family Patriarch:

"What on earth is going on?"

Why would a mere Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator set a trap to frame her and her father?!
