Chapter Title: Chen Jianghe's Arrangements, the Battle of Yunmen Mountain
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hiss~
Thinking of the Liu Clan Ancestor's sneak attack, the Yu father and son both drew a sharp breath, their hearts filled with lingering fear.
If it weren't for Chen Jianghe and Gao Peiyao, the Liu Clan Ancestor would have truly succeeded.
With Yun Xiaoniu away from Qiyun Mountain, no one in the Yu Clan could have stopped a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He could have wiped out the entire clan in a quarter of an hour.
Even if Yun Xiaoniu were to launch a retaliatory strike on the Liu Clan afterward, what would be the point?
Everyone would already be dead.
"I must ask Uncle to watch over Qiyun Mountain and protect the Yu Clan disciples," Yun Xiaoniu said, clasping his fists in a solemn plea.
He didn't want to win the battle at Yunmen Mountain only to find his home had been destroyed.
Yu Daniu and Yun Siniu also looked toward Chen Jianghe, their intentions clear. They all hoped he would stay and guard Qiyun Mountain.
Everything they did was for the prosperity and growth of their clan.
But if the clan was gone, then all their efforts would lose their meaning.
"I was not thorough enough in my considerations. I overlooked this point."
Yun Bufan nodded in deep agreement, understanding the consequences of having one's home base attacked.
Qiyun Mountain was not like Mirror Moon Lake. He could leave for a while without issue, as Mirror Moon Market City was protected by a large-scale second-grade defensive array.
The Yun Clan's estate always had thirty late-stage Qi Refining cultivators stationed there. By operating the defensive array, they could withstand the attacks of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Yes, rest assured. With me at Qiyun Mountain, even if two Foundation Establishment cultivators show up, they won't be able to harm a single member of the Yu Clan."
Chen Jianghe was confident about this.
He wasn't going to Yunmen Mountain because he was unfamiliar with the terrain, and there was also the possibility of unforeseen circumstances.
The Stone Clan Ancestor had been so confident during his negotiations with Yun Xiaoniu; he surely had some tricks up his sleeve.
As he saw it, the Stone Clan Ancestor had probably offered benefits to other clans, seeking an alliance to fight against the Yun and Yu clans.
But with Yun Xiaoniu no longer going to Yunmen Mountain, the Stone Clan certainly wouldn't give away benefits to other Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans for nothing.
In that case, Yunmen Mountain might only have the Stone Clan Ancestor, one second-grade spirit beast, and two second-grade puppets.
But it was hard to say if there were other hidden cards.
However, guarding Qiyun Mountain, he had no such worries. With his current strength, he wouldn't be afraid even if he had to face two ordinary rogue Foundation Establishment cultivators, or even these so-called Foundation Establishment Ancestors.
Even if a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator arrived, he could fight, and even win, by revealing Xiao Hei.
If all else failed, he could still ask Luo Xiyue for help.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, how many Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans are on good terms with the Stone Clan? Count all of them that have had consistent cooperation."
To be safe, Chen Jianghe wanted to ask for more details.
"The clan with the best relationship with the Stone Clan is the Liu Clan. The two clans often intermarry, but the Liu Clan has already been destroyed."
"Next is the Riverside Shen Clan. Because they are north of the Stone Clan and situated by the Heaven-Piercing River, the two clans often trade with each other."
Yun Bufan was from an Immortal Clan and had been a Foundation Establishment cultivator for over fifty years. His understanding of the Eastern Territory was far clearer than that of the Yu father and son.
"One with a more general relationship, but with whom they've traded a few times, is the East Ferry Xu Clan."
"Both of these Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans have only one Foundation Establishment cultivator each, with no second-grade spirit beasts or second-grade puppets."
The Riverside Shen Clan was north of the Stone Clan and west of Ferry Market City, bordering the Heaven-Piercing River.
The East Ferry Xu Clan was to the northeast of the Stone Clan and east of Ferry Market City, near the mouth of the Heaven-Piercing River where it met the sea.
As two Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans flanking Ferry Market City, it was difficult for them to develop, and their territories were barren lands with few spirit fields.
They were also frequently visited by rogue cultivators.
Furthermore, the Lu Clan and the Serene Valley wouldn't let them develop. Even when the Yun Clan had two Foundation Establishment cultivators, they began to face suppression.
Let alone the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans situated by the Heaven-Piercing River.
Hearing Yun Bufan's introduction, Chen Jianghe had a better grasp of the situation. Even if the Stone Clan allied with those two Immortal Clans.
Their Foundation Establishment combat strength would only be six in total: three cultivators, one second-grade spirit beast, and two second-grade puppets.
Although second-grade puppets had Foundation Establishment combat strength, they consumed a great deal of mental energy. Under the control of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, they couldn't sustain prolonged combat.
A single Foundation Establishment cultivator could hold off both second-grade puppets.
Besides, their side had two second-grade spirit beasts. Given the advantage spirit beasts had over cultivators, they held the upper hand.
"What is the bloodline of the Stone Clan's second-grade spirit beast?" Chen Jianghe asked.
"Naturally, it's a second-grade superior bloodline. Third-grade bloodline spirit beasts are hard to come by. When Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans raise a guardian spirit beast, they usually raise a second-grade superior bloodline cub and gamble on luck."
Yun Bufan looked at Chen Jianghe with a mix of envy and helplessness.
A second-grade spirit beast with a third-grade bloodline? To this day, the only one he had ever seen was the black Mountain Velvet Beast right before him.
Chen Jianghe nodded.
He made a quick calculation in his head. Maoqiu had a third-grade inferior bloodline, so its combat strength should be slightly stronger than a second-grade superior bloodline.
But Maoqiu also possessed a spirit-nurturing second-grade artifact.
Therefore, Maoqiu's combat strength should be able to completely dominate the Yun Clan's Long-armed Ape, which meant it could thrash the Stone Clan's second-grade spirit beast even more easily.
"Uncle, with your spirit beast, we can definitely defeat the Stone Clan. But if we march to Yunmen Mountain so openly, won't we scare off the Stone Clan Ancestor?"
Yun Siniu lowered his head in thought, voicing his concern.
Chen Jianghe smiled at his words and glanced at Maoqiu. A watery mist immediately rose from Maoqiu's body, enveloping it in an instant. Then, its black exterior began to change.
Its enormous body started to shrink.
As the mist dissipated, Maoqiu had returned to its appearance before its breakthrough—nineteen feet tall, pure white, and exuding the aura of a peak first-grade beast.
The divine ability, "Divine Illusion," not only allowed Maoqiu to raise its aura by a minor realm but also to lower it by one.
With Maoqiu's successful breakthrough to a second-grade spirit beast, even its physical form and appearance underwent a substantial change under "Divine Illusion."
"This... a peak late-stage first-grade spirit beast? What a transformation, what a divine ability."
Yun Bufan and the Yu father and son all showed expressions of astonishment, staring blankly at Maoqiu, who had transformed into a late-stage first-grade beast.
The change in its appearance, in particular, had truly shocked them.
"Uncle, let's head to Yunmen Mountain right now. We can surely catch them by surprise and annihilate the Stone Clan."
Yun Xiaoniu's confidence soared.
Previously, they were all worried that bringing Chen Jianghe's spirit beast would be discovered by the Stone Clan Ancestor, who would then avoid battle.
Now, that concern was gone.
"Not so fast."
Chen Jianghe raised a hand, stopping the eager Yun Xiaoniu and the others.
He hadn't finished speaking yet.
"On this trip to Yunmen Mountain, Maoqiu will help you block the Stone Clan Ancestor and his spirit pet. You must quickly destroy those two puppets."
"No, there might also be the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Shen and Xu clans..."
"Uncle, you don't need to worry too much. The Shen and Xu clans might not be at Yunmen Mountain. Even if they are, at most, it will only be the Shen Clan's Foundation Establishment Ancestor," Yun Xiaoniu said.
"That's not good enough."
Chen Jianghe shook his head and began to ponder.
Seeing Chen Jianghe deep in thought, Yun Bufan felt a hint of displeasure, thinking Chen Jianghe was being overly cautious.
With their current strength, even if the Shen Clan's Foundation Establishment Ancestor was at Yunmen Mountain, as long as they coordinated well and disabled the two puppets first.
The Shen Clan's Foundation Establishment Ancestor would surely flee.
At that point, they could completely annihilate the Stone Clan.
So, with such strength, what was there to hesitate or worry about?
"Xiaoniu, Siniu, here are four Falling Star Lightning Talismans. Take two each. As soon as you see those two second-grade puppets, don't hesitate. Use these four talismans first."
As Chen Jianghe spoke, he took out four Falling Star Lightning Talismans. The lightning patterns flickered, and a violent spiritual energy instantly rushed toward Yun Bufan and the Yu father and son.
"Second-grade lightning-attribute attack talismans!"
Yun Bufan exclaimed, his eyes widening as he looked at Chen Jianghe, his face filled with disbelief.
"Fellow Daoist Chen has become a second-grade Talisman Master?"
"A stroke of luck."
Chen Jianghe smiled and nodded.
Yun Bufan took a deep breath. He knew full well what being a second-grade Talisman Master meant, and even more so what second-grade talismans represented.
He just never imagined that the little Fishery Farmer from back then would have grown to such an extent.
Not only did he succeed in Foundation Establishment at an advanced age, but he also became a second-grade Talisman Master.
"I heard that the immortal lady with him is a master refiner. In that case, he must have top-tier artifacts. Coupled with second-grade talismans, I'm afraid even I might not be his match now!"
Yun Bufan thought to himself.
Yu Daniu, Yun Xiaoniu, and Yun Siniu also revealed ecstatic expressions.
They were genuinely happy for Chen Jianghe becoming a second-grade Talisman Master.
This way, even if Chen Jianghe left, no matter where he went, he would possess a superb skill to earn spirit stones.
"Let's make it six."
Chen Jianghe thought for a moment, still feeling it wasn't quite right. He took out two more Falling Star Lightning Talismans and gave one each to Yun Xiaoniu and Yun Siniu.
"Remember, use them as soon as you see the second-grade puppets. Destroy the puppets first."
Hearing Chen Jianghe's instructions.
Yun Xiaoniu and Yun Siniu were stunned.
Yun Bufan was also dumbfounded when he saw Chen Jianghe take out two more second-grade lightning-attribute attack talismans.
Chen Jianghe paid no mind to their surprise and continued, "There is one more thing you must remember."
"As for the Stone Clan, you can only cripple them. You must absolutely not annihilate them, and don't even think about occupying their territory."
"Why is that?" Yu Daniu asked in confusion.
"The Puppet Lu Clan will not allow an uncontrollable Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan to emerge in the Eastern Territory. Besides, the combined territory of the Yun and Yu clans is already large enough. Even if you expand, you must wait until you have a certain level of strength."
Chen Jianghe's meaning was very clear.
Within the Eastern Territory, if a clan didn't have a Core Formation expert overseeing it, acting too ostentatiously would get them eliminated by the Puppet Lu Clan.
The reason the Lu Clan wasn't helping the Stone Clan now was out of respect for Gao Peiyao's master.
If the interests of the Puppet Lu Clan were truly touched upon, the Lu Clan would definitely wipe out the Yun and Yu clans.
When that time came, even Gao Peiyao would be helpless.
After all, she was not a Core Formation expert. Even if she were, a single person could not stand against a top-tier Immortal Clan like the Lu Clan.
One must know that the Lu Clan, as a top-tier Immortal Clan with a heritage of several thousand years, had more than just one Core Formation expert in their family.
To protect the Beast Taming Market City, the Beast Taming Zhou Clan had dispatched two Core Formation experts and two third-grade spirit beasts.
The Lu Clan was on par with the Zhou Clan; how could their foundation be any weaker?
Of course, Gao Peiyao wouldn't offend a behemoth like the Lu Clan for the sake of the Yun and Yu clans.
After hearing Chen Jianghe's words.
Yun Bufan and the Yu father and son had a sudden realization. Initially, they had been thinking of annihilating the Stone Clan and dividing their four-thousand-mile territory.
Now that they thought about it, if they really occupied the Stone Clan's territory, the Yun and Yu clans would have a domain of seven thousand miles.
It would be a wonder if the Lu Clan didn't destroy them.
The reason the Stone Clan occupied such a large territory was that the river ridges were mostly swamps and barren mountains, with very few spirit veins and no spirit fields.
After Chen Jianghe finished his instructions, he had Maoqiu accompany them to the Yunmen Mountain spirit mine.
After they left.
Yu Daniu's expression grew heavy. He looked at Chen Jianghe and said, "Big Brother, are you planning to leave?"
"All gatherings must eventually part." Chen Jianghe nodded.
His letting Maoqiu help the Yu Clan resolve the Yunmen Mountain spirit mine issue and giving them six Falling Star Lightning Talismans were preparations for his departure from Qiyun Mountain.
Although life in Qiyun Mountain was peaceful, there were no cultivation resources. Going to Ferry Market City was too dangerous.
It was better to head to Thousand Mountains Market City.
"That's for the best. Big Brother has succeeded in Foundation Establishment and is a second-grade Talisman Master. Your path to immortality is promising, and longevity is within reach. How could you stay in Qiyun Mountain for long?"
"A shallow pond can raise fish and shrimp, but not a dragon. Big Brother should be like a flood dragon entering the sea, stirring up storms."
A hint of disappointment flickered in Yu Daniu's eyes, but he still offered Chen Jianghe his sincere blessings.
A flood dragon entering the sea, stirring up storms.
Chen Jianghe sighed inwardly. His Foundation Establishment cultivation was decent around Qiyun Mountain, but once he went outside.
Even if it wasn't Thousand Mountains Market City.
In Ferry Market City, he would face numerous crises.
It was better to cultivate steadily first and wait until he reached Core Formation before talking about stirring up storms.
Yu Daniu left the courtyard.
Chen Jianghe also stepped out of his courtyard gate, intending to find the two girls, Zhuang Xinyan and Jiang Ruxu, but he saw Luo Xiyue opening her gate instead.
Their eyes met.
Chen Jianghe changed his mind, walked up to her, and said, "In ten days at most, we can leave Qiyun Mountain and head to Thousand Mountains Market City."
"Show me the second-grade talismans you've crafted."
Luo Xiyue's gaze was cool and proud. She wore a white silk dress adorned with pearls, looking like a fairy descended from the heavens—pure, pristine, and untouchable.
As her jade-like hand reached toward Chen Jianghe, a delicate feminine fragrance wafted into his nose, refreshing his mind.
"Uh... alright."
Although he didn't know what Luo Xiyue wanted the second-grade talismans for, he still took them out. After all, he still owed her six thousand spirit stones.
It would be best if he could use them to pay off the debt.
He had crafted a total of fourteen Falling Star Lightning Talismans. He had given six to Yun Xiaoniu and Yun Siniu, so he still had eight left.
"Lightning-attribute attack talismans. The spiritual energy is abundant, and the inscription is finely drawn."
Luo Xiyue offered a few words of evaluation.
Then, she returned the Falling Star Lightning Talisman to Chen Jianghe.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, what do you think this Falling Star Lightning Talisman is worth?" Chen Jianghe asked.
He had some knowledge of the market price for second-grade talismans.
But market prices were not reliable at all.
He needed to know the true price of second-grade talismans, especially the Falling Star Lightning Talismans in his hand.
These were much stronger than ordinary second-grade low-tier attack talismans.
Naturally, they couldn't be the same price.
"The market price is five hundred spirit stones. The selling price is eight hundred and fifty spirit stones."
Luo Xiyue raised a delicate eyebrow, looked at the Falling Star Lightning Talisman in Chen Jianghe's hand, and said, "Nine hundred and fifty spirit stones."
Chen Jianghe's face lit up upon hearing this.
He knew market prices were deceptive. Eight hundred and fifty spirit stones for a second-grade low-tier attack talisman was quite acceptable.
Most importantly, his Falling Star Lightning Talisman could fetch nine hundred and fifty spirit stones, which made him very satisfied.
He could craft eight Falling Star Lightning Talismans in a year.
That would be seven thousand six hundred spirit stones.
After deducting the costs, he could net around six thousand spirit stones a year. This was far better than Ruan Tieniu, who risked his life in the Wandering Immortal Mountain Range for just over a thousand spirit stones a year.
However, over six thousand spirit stones was just enough for his own use. It would be impossible to accumulate any savings.
If he didn't have the artifacts refined by Luo Xiyue, he would need to save for at least five years to buy them.
And that was just for a top-tier attack artifact and a top-tier defensive artifact.
As for a spirit-nurturing top-tier artifact?
It wasn't something that could be bought with just spirit stones, at least not with the low-grade spirit stones he had.
"Then how about I use the Falling Star Lightning Talismans to offset the spirit stones I owe you?"
As Chen Jianghe spoke, he took out seven Falling Star Lightning Talismans.
Luo Xiyue glanced at Chen Jianghe, then turned and went back into her courtyard, seemingly unimpressed by second-grade low-tier talismans.
Just as Chen Jianghe was wondering how to repay Luo Xiyue's spirit stones.
A crisp and pleasant voice came from within the courtyard.
"When you've cultivated to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, I will give you the legacies for two types of second-grade superior talismans. You will craft ten of each for me, and that will cancel the six thousand spirit stones."
Hearing Luo Xiyue's words, a look of joy appeared on Chen Jianghe's face.
It seemed like he was crafting them for Luo Xiyue for free, but in reality, he was gaining the legacies of two types of second-grade superior talismans.
He was not at a loss.
And it cleared his debt of six thousand spirit stones.
"Fellow Daoist, can this count as completing one of the tasks for you?"
Chen Jianghe said through the door. His voice entered the courtyard but was met with silence, like a stone sinking into the sea.
Evidently, Luo Xiyue had no intention of responding to him.
Chen Jianghe didn't get angry. He then went to the courtyard of Jiang Ruxu and Zhuang Xinyan and knocked on the door ring.
The courtyard gate opened immediately.
This puzzled Chen Jianghe; the speed at which the door opened was a bit too fast.
He didn't know that while he was talking with Luo Xiyue, the two girls had been listening from their courtyard.
Neither Chen Jianghe nor Luo Xiyue had used voice transmission, and these courtyards lacked any awareness-blocking arrays.
So naturally, they could hear everything.
"Senior."
Jiang Ruxu and Zhuang Xinyan called out softly, seeming to be in low spirits.
"Mm."
Chen Jianghe nodded. Like an elder, he said to the two girls, "In a few days, we will be leaving Qiyun Mountain. For the time being, don't go into seclusion to cultivate."
Both girls were already at the ninth layer of Qi Refining and had begun practicing spirit-forging arts, so they often went into seclusion.
Furthermore, their cultivation progress was not slow.
In about three years, they could attempt their breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
Zhuang Xinyan's cultivation progress was slightly faster, perhaps because she didn't have to divide her attention with alchemy. He estimated she could attempt her breakthrough in two years.
Jiang Ruxu was slightly behind, but it wouldn't be more than three years.
If he were to bring the two of them with him, he would need to rent a mountain peak with a second-grade mid-tier spirit vein.
And he would also have to set up various arrays.
After arriving at Thousand Mountains Market City, he couldn't keep Xiao Hei in the spirit beast space all the time.
If he were to enter a secret realm trial with Gao Peiyao in the future, Xiao Hei would be his greatest trump card.
Therefore, once he reached Thousand Mountains Market City, he had to focus on cultivating Xiao Hei with all his might.
This would require arrays to partition the mountain peak to ensure his own private space.
"Are we going to Thousand Mountains Market City?" Jiang Ruxu asked with a pout.
"What? Are you two unwilling to go?"
Chen Jianghe showed a look of confusion.
He felt that Jiang Ruxu and Zhuang Xinyan had some resistance toward Thousand Mountains Market City.
"No, as long as we can be with Senior, it's fine," Jiang Ruxu and Zhuang Xinyan shook their heads repeatedly, speaking obediently.
"Mm, don't worry."
Chen Jianghe said gently, "Not to mention the promise I made to Fellow Daoist Zhuang, but just based on my friendship with him, I will keep you by my side and protect you."
"Thank you, Senior."
Jiang Ruxu and Zhuang Xinyan curtsied.
"Senior, please sit. I will serve you tea."
"Junior Sister, you chat with Senior. I'll go make the tea."
"Alright, don't fuss. I'm heading back."
Chen Jianghe chuckled, stopping the two girls from fighting over who would make tea.
If not for the secrets he carried, having them stay by his side to serve him wouldn't be a bad thing.
One was pure and obedient, the other was lively and adorable—two very fine juniors.
After Chen Jianghe left the courtyard, the two girls began to communicate privately via voice transmission.
"Senior Sister, I feel that Senior has taken a liking to Fairy Luo. Otherwise, why would he insist on going to Thousand Mountains Market City, which is north of the Heaven-Piercing River?"
"Exactly! He could have gone to Treasure Trove Market City or Immortal Gate Market City."
"But since we'll be staying by Senior's side, we don't have to worry about anything. We just need to cultivate hard and reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible, so we can be worthy of Senior's notice."
"Junior Sister, you have high talent in alchemy. More than cultivation, I feel that if you become a second-grade Alchemist, you'll be of more help to Senior."
"Mm, let's work hard together. We can definitely surpass Fairy Luo and stay by Senior's side forever."
After Alchemist Zhuang passed away, they had been with Chen Jianghe, receiving his care.
Gradually, they had developed a dependence on him.
It seemed similar to their reliance on Alchemist Zhuang, yet somehow different.
—
"Old Man Stone's spirit pet is actually at the peak of the early second grade. I wonder if Uncle's Mountain Velvet Beast can handle it."
Within Yunmen Mountain, peaks stood in great numbers. On the half belonging to Qiyun Mountain's territory, the mountains were lush with vegetation, and ancient trees a hundred feet tall were everywhere.
But on the half belonging to the river ridge territory, the mountains were barren, with sheer cliffs and strangely shaped boulders.
Above the mountains, a fierce wind howled. A tornado of rock and sand could be seen clashing with a mass of water vapor, the battle growing more intense.
With each attack, mountainsides cracked and dust filled the air.
This was the battle between Yun Bufan, Yun Xiaoniu, and Yun Siniu, who were wielding their artifact flying swords against the Stone Clan Ancestor and the Shen Clan Ancestor.
Not far away, the Yun Clan's guardian spirit beast, the Long-armed Ape, was wielding a specially made artifact, fighting against the Xu Clan Ancestor.
The Xu Clan Ancestor was a veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator at the third layer. With a top-tier artifact and a top-tier defensive artifact in hand, he was not at a disadvantage against the Long-armed Ape.
He even seemed to have a slight upper hand, but he couldn't effectively suppress the Long-armed Ape.
Just as Chen Jianghe had predicted.
The Shen Clan Ancestor and the Xu Clan Ancestor had been hiding in the Yunmen Mountain spirit mine all along, providing support for the Stone Clan Ancestor.
With Yun Xiaoniu not coming to Yunmen Mountain for a long time, the Stone Clan naturally figured out the reason, so they invited the Shen and Xu Clan Ancestors to stand guard at Yunmen Mountain.
It was to guard against the Yu Clan finding outside help.
Initially, when he saw Yun Bufan and the others arrive at Yunmen Mountain for a decisive battle without any outside help, the Stone Clan Ancestor thought he had it in the bag.
But he never expected that as soon as the battle started and he summoned his two second-grade puppets.
Six heavenly lightning bolts, like falling stars, descended, directly shattering one second-grade puppet. The other, though not destroyed, was damaged.
After three hours of fighting.
That damaged second-grade puppet was also destroyed by Yun Xiaoniu.
Fortunately, the Stone Clan Ancestor, Shen Clan Ancestor, and Xu Clan Ancestor were all veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators. Although still in the early stage, they had long reached the third layer.
They were only lacking the Ice Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill to break through to the mid-stage.
The Stone Clan Ancestor and the Shen Clan Ancestor, the two of them, were barely able to withstand the attacks of Yun Bufan's group of three, though they were currently at a disadvantage.
They could only place their hopes on the Black Scale Crocodile, which was at the peak of the early second grade.
As for the Xu Clan Ancestor? It was enough for him to hold off the Long-armed Ape.
In the minds of the Stone and Shen Clan Ancestors, as long as the Black Scale Crocodile could devour that strange, peak first-grade monkey.
They would still have the upper hand and could even permanently leave one or two of the Yun and Yu clans' Foundation Establishment cultivators behind in Yunmen Mountain.
"Fellow Daoist, it's been three hours. Why hasn't your spirit pet, the Black Scale Crocodile, devoured that strange monkey yet?"
The Shen Clan Ancestor, his arm cut by a water blade, looked at the Stone Clan Ancestor with anger in his eyes and sent a voice transmission.
"And what about those two Foundation Establishment fellow daoists you invited? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
