Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

At the same time.

The swamp transformed back into a pile of rocks.

Yaoyao gestured with her hand.

The roots of the Skeleton Demon Vine implanted in the body of the Crimson Flame Wolf withdrew into the main vine. With loud blasts, blood mist spurted out from the wolf’s body, and after a shudder, the Skeleton Demon Vine turned into a green light, retreating from the wolf and disappearing underground.

“Awoo!”

The Red-tailed Wolf collapsed weakly to the ground.

Fu Changlei stepped forward, feeding it a Cloud Ridge Fruit while his lips moved subtly. After a while, he turned to Yaoyao and Fu Yongyi, saying:

“In Yunyun Valley, there’s only one Tier Three Demon Beast— the Crimson Flame Wolf. Yaoyao, you can start surveying the terrain and set up the Wind Killing Array.”

Fu Yongyi was rather impatient to probe the ore vein.

However, haste makes waste.

He nodded promptly.

With the Crimson Flame Wolf familiar with the terrain, surveying was much easier. In just a few days, they found the Spirit Vein.

….

At the same time.

From the underground of Yunyun Valley, the invisible Jiao Rock Armor flickered slightly, and after emerging from the valley, it soared towards a distant cave mansion in a Peach Grove. With a bang, it rose into the sky, where a man in black clothing sat cross-legged.

The Jiao Rock Armor twisted its tendrils.

Seemingly transmitting some information.

After a while.

The man’s eyes opened abruptly:

“Array Formation?”

It seems Yunyun Valley, as he suspected, might house some ore vein.

The man in black immediately patted his storage bag; with a flash of Dawn Light, a Spirit Mirror appeared in his palm. He cast a Technique into it, and the mirror hovered in mid-air, its Spirit Light swelled, forming a vague outline that soon became clear.

The man in black stood and bowed:

“Reporting to the Chieftain”

“The Fu Family has likely discovered an ore vein in Yunyun Valley, though the specifics are still unknown. They are preparing to arrange an array in the valley; should we take action?”

The person in the Spirit Mirror hesitated for a moment.

After a while.

Spoke leisurely:

“Continue observing; if it’s a rare ore vein, report immediately. Common veins are of no concern.”

“Yes, Chieftain!”

The Spirit Light withdrew from the mirror.

The man in black called the mirror back into his embrace.

…

In Yunyun Valley, the dark clouds hung low, seemingly ready to descend at any moment, and a sense of foreboding lingered in the air.

Yaoyao hovered midair.

The Array Flags around her fluttered fiercely in the wind.

She took a deep breath, her hands swiftly performing Sealing gestures, her fingertips tracing trajectories filled with Profound Mysteries. With her movements, the Array Flags shot out sequentially, each settling at different positions like Celestial Qian, Earth Fiend, Kunlun… etc.

She cast Techniques into the Array Flags.

Swoosh!

The runes on the Array Flags gradually lit up, shimmering with a mystical blue light. These runes seemed alive, linking with the runes etched at the Array Hub, swiftly coursing over the ground, eventually forming a complex Array Map.

“Wind Rise!”

Yaoyao shouted sternly.

She cast a Technique into the Array Platform.

Boom!

In an instant.

The wind in Yunyun Valley intensified enormously, roaring from all directions, like countless blades slicing through the air. These Wind Blades weren’t chaotic; rather, they formed a large wind wall within the array, as per Yaoyao’s will. The wind wall, resembling a giant dragon, coiled around the array, enveloping all of Yunyun Valley.

Beside her, Fu Changlei’s eyes lit up slightly.

The “Void Talisman Scripture” he is devoted to, if mastered to extreme perfection, can allow array formations with talismans, so he has an interest in arrays.

Yet, compared to Yaoyao’s fluid array setting techniques, he still finds himself lagging behind. However, with the progress in his “Great Derivation Technique” Fourth Layer, studying arrays has become easier compared to before.

This is all thanks to the Patriarch continuously supplementing the holy cultivation technique “Great Derivation Technique.”

In his view.

It is nearly akin to a Celestial Tier Technique.

Amidst his contemplation.

The sound of Yaoyao’s voice echoed once more:

“Array Completed!”

Now, the Wind Killing Array in Yunyun Valley was completely formed, the wind wall continuously rotated within the array, creating a massive vortex. Inside the vortex, Wind Blades poured down like rain, any enemy attempting to breach the array would be torn to pieces in this infinite flurry of Wind Blades.

Yaoyao withdrew her Technique.

She descended from midair, standing firmly, yet her figure wavered slightly.

With her level of cultivation, setting up a medium-sized defensive array alone within such a short time was evidently strenuous.

“Yaoyao, well done.”

Seeing this, Fu Changlei resolved in his heart that upon meeting the Patriarch, he must advise him to counsel Yaoyao, urging her to focus more on cultivation. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the array, if it fails to protect oneself, it would be a case of misplaced priorities.

Yaoyao said:

“Brother Stone, you may begin probing the ore vein. With Little Red’s help as Guardian, and the Wind Killing Array in place, there will be no disturbances.”

“Alright”

Fu Changlei did not delay.

After all, they were under the White Tiger Tribe’s nose, it was best to strike quickly.

Fu Yongyi, who had long been eager, immediately led the way holding the Treasure Hunting Device, while the Skeleton Demon Vine adhered to Yaoyao’s instructions, traversing underground as they progressed.

Buzz!

Heading north a few hundred zhang.

The Treasure Hunting Device emitted dazzling Spirit Light, its needle pointing directly to the Crimson Flame Wolf’s lair, Fu Yongyi laughed:

“Uncle Chang Lei, what a coincidence!”

Fu Changlei felt it was rather expected.

If it weren’t for the Crimson Flame Wolf guarding it.

The ore vein might have long been discovered by the White Tiger Tribe. Furthermore, during his communication with the Crimson Flame Wolf, it revealed.

Hundreds of years ago.

The Crimson Flame Wolf was still an abandoned lone wolf.
