Chapter 797: Chapter 311: Fortune and Misfortune in a Moment, Making a Move
[10: The Cui Family has already met the conditions to ascend to an Eighth-Grade Noble Family]
[11:.....]
.....
Fu Changsheng exchanged twenty pieces of intelligence in one breath.
Because Yaoyao was right beside him, he couldn’t study the information carefully. He only memorized it quickly and paid special attention to the second piece of intelligence. Facing Yaoyao’s eager gaze, he organized his thoughts and said:
"Yaoyao, this barrier was also examined by Qingru before. Moreover, when Autumn Cicada broke through to Tier Three, she additionally obtained other information. This barrier here is mostly used by ancient demon cultivators to seal righteous figures, so it shouldn’t be a Secret Realm. Once opened, it shouldn’t cause much of a stir."
"Father, do you mean?"
"I will let Qingru and Changlei assist you in researching this barrier here, but before that, we must deal with the Gongsun Family first."
The Fu Family and the Gongsun Family were already in a situation of irreconcilable conflict. Since the barrier of the Gongsun Family had been opened, it was necessary to eradicate them completely before their power fully developed to eliminate future troubles.
Hearing this, Yaoyao had some concerns:
"Father, do we really have to make a move against the Gongsun Family? The Gongsun Family is not like the Ping Family; after all, it is an established Eighth-Grade Noble Family. And with Gongsun Wen taking the position of clan leader, judging from his sealing strategies, he has quite the ambition. The Gongsun Family has been closed off for nearly twenty years; opening the barrier this time likely means they have a reliance."
Fu Changsheng naturally considered these things. He knew very well that delaying an attack on the Gongsun Family was absolutely not viable. If they accumulated more means, it would be too late to deal with them.
Yaoyao understood Fu Changsheng’s explanation and did not persuade further. The Fu Family now had three Great Purple Mansion forces; even if the Gongsun Family had some skills, careful planning would ensure success:
"Father, in that case, there’s no better time than the present. We should first go and scout the situation at the Gongsun Family’s mountain gate."
"Okay."
Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.
The father and daughter set up a Reversed Five Elements Array in Broken Bone Cliff to prevent anyone from discovering this barrier during their absence. After setting up, they rode on the Cyan Flood Dragon and sped toward the Gongsun Family.
Though the escape speed of the Cyan Flood Dragon was fast, there was still quite a distance between Broken Bone Cliff and the Gongsun Family’s fief. After several days, they finally reached the Gongsun Family’s fief. The Cyan Flood Dragon already hid its form, and Fu Changsheng swept his divine sense, frowning:
"The Gongsun Family is indeed vigilant."
It was seen that the Gongsun Family’s Mountain Protection Array was fully activated.
From the inside and outside, there was no trace of anyone entering or leaving.
Although the barrier was opened,
it was still under martial law:
"It seems that breaking through the Cloud Seagull Tribe method won’t work; we can only break the Mountain Protection Array. Yaoyao, do you have confidence in breaking through the Gongsun Family’s shell?"
"Father, the Gongsun Family’s Mountain Protection Array has undergone changes, upgraded from the original Tier Three Middle-Grade to Tier Three Top-Grade Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, based on the Eight Gates of Qimen Dunjia, and ever-changing. It can block space and prevent enemies from escaping; it cannot be breached head-on."
Yaoyao said as she waved her sleeve.
Suddenly, a Drill Array Plate floated in mid-air. After several days of deduction, Yaoyao retracted her Dharma Seal.
Seeing this, Fu Changsheng quickly said:
"Yaoyao, did you find a way to break the array?"
"Mm."
Yaoyao nodded and slowly explained:
"Father, although the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array is dangerous, it also has a way to be broken. Finding the array hub is key; it’s the core of the array, but it’s hidden and position-changing, relying on powerful divine sense to perceive spiritual power changes to seek."
"The Xiu and Sheng gates are relatively peaceful and can serve as a breakthrough point. Although they hide subtle wonders; the Shang and Si gates are treacherous, the Du gate is blocked, the Jing gate confuses, the Jing gate disturbs, the Kai gate is unobstructed, one must avoid the strong and take the weak."
"So, when breaking the array."
"At least three array masters familiar with the characteristics of the Eight Gates are needed to break the array together."
Hearing this, Fu Changsheng felt relieved, for seeking the array hub depended solely on him. As for other array masters, Changlei and Qingru could help.
He immediately took out a Communication Jade Talisman.
Quickly said a few words.
A few days later.
An invisible Celestial Dragon Warship docked dozens of miles away from the Gongsun Family’s mountain gate in Qianyu Mountain. Aboard the warship, Yu Qingru and Fu Changlei used the Invisibility Technique. After joining Fu Changsheng and Yaoyao, they silently reached the Gongsun Family’s mountain gate.
Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve.
Suddenly, two Life Replacement Talismans floated respectively towards Yu Qingru and Fu Changlei: "Carry this with you, just in case."
Though he was by their side, he was afraid of sudden incidents where he might not rescue in time.
Yu Qingru and Fu Changlei knew these were for life-saving, so they didn’t refuse and accepted them immediately. The four carefully surveyed all around the mountain gate.
.....
At this time, in an unknown underground city within the Gongsun Family, all of the city’s residents were dressed in uniform white robes. Regardless of gender or age, without exception. Even those paralyzed in bed and unable to live independently were carefully carried by family members to the Sacrificial Plaza.
In an instant, the entire city was crowded with tens of thousands of people.
On the sacrificial Daoist field, many high priests and apprentices enlightened by the Immortal and who had stepped into cultivation, were fully seated on the Daoist field.
Among the mortal crowd.
The seven-year-old chubby boy Huzi, from the cook’s family in Dalang Village, was excitedly riding on the shoulders of Chief Zhao, his small eyes curiously looking toward the altar:
"Daddy, will an immortal really appear later?"
"Of course."
Chief Zhao nodded with a smile.
In his youth, he had heard elders in the village talk about priests seeing an immortal showing their presence fifty years ago. At that time, he only took it as a legend for coaxing children and didn’t pay much heed. However, some time ago, divine phenomena suddenly appeared in the temple, and sweet rain unexpectedly fell in the temple. That sweet rain, like the source of life, rejuvenated the land that had been drought-stricken for more than half a year, making it fertile and full of vitality.
