Chapter 220: Wen's Dilemma (Subscription Request)

The Yunwu Wen Clan’s territory borders the Ling Clan’s territory, and the two families are only a thousand miles apart.

It took Ling Pengyun and Wen Ruofei only a few hours to ride on flying monster beasts and enter the Yunwu Wen Clan’s territory.

Then, the two of them headed north.

Along the way, Ling Pengyun, who was riding Fengyingpeng, encountered several villages built on the first-order lower and middle-grade spiritual veins.

However, all the buildings in these villages were trampled down by the monster beasts.

After traveling nearly a hundred miles, the two of them stepped into a mortal town in Yunwu and stopped.

There was a large group of monster beasts one or two miles away from the mortal town.

The group of monster beasts were all besieging a hundred-foot-high mountain protected by a huge golden light curtain.

Under the attack and bombardment of the group of monster beasts, the huge golden light curtain protecting the hundred-foot-high mountain was full of cracks, and its flickering spiritual light was also quite dim.

Ling Pengyun used the vision technique to observe the situation.

A quick look revealed that among the monsters besieging the hundred-foot-high mountain, there were about seven hundred Qi training monsters.

There was also a foundation-building python monster in the monster group, but that foundation-building python monster was surrounded by twelve red formation flags.

The twelve formation flags formed a formation, which transformed into a blazing flame that continuously swept towards the foundation-building python monster.

The power of this blazing flame was not bad, and even the foundation-building python monster could only barely resist it with the protection of its body.

There were about twenty cultivators in the mountain.

In addition, there were twenty to thirty thousand mortals in the mountain.

"The twelve flaming flags formed a formation, and the flames they conjured were not weak. I'm afraid it was not an ordinary flaming formation, but most likely a superior first-grade flame formation."

"I didn't expect that the Yunwu Wen Clan, which mainly refines weapons, actually has such a high-level killing formation."

"No wonder, the Wen Clan, with only a group of Qi-training cultivators, was able to resist the attack of more than 700 monsters led by the foundation-building python monster." Ling Pengyun looked into the distance, and saw the twelve formation flags that conjured a large piece of flames and temporarily trapped the foundation-building python monster, and was secretly surprised.

The power of a superior first-grade flame formation is several times stronger than the same-level killing formation, and is not much weaker than a second-grade lower-grade formation.

At the same time, the spiritual power required to activate the superior first-grade flame formation flags is the same as that of an ordinary flame formation.

Although it consumes the same spiritual power, its power is stronger than that of the same level formation, which makes the superior formation highly sought after by cultivators in the market. In the market, a superior first-level killing formation can be sold for at least 500 spiritual stones, and it is in short supply.

Thinking back, Ling Pengyun pointed to the demon python in the foundation-building stage surrounded by flames among the demon beasts attacking the hundred-foot-high mountain a few miles away, and asked Wen Ruofei, who was riding a gray-haired roc bird.

"Elder Wen, did you come to me this time to deal with the foundation-building demon python trapped by the first-grade superior flame array?"

"That's right, please take action as soon as possible, Senior Ling. The six cultivators of our clan who set up the flame array to trap the foundation-building demon python have already exhausted their spiritual power, and are now relying on the spiritual storage magic tools to support them."

"If we delay for a while, when the mountain protection magic array of Wuying Mountain is broken, the tens of thousands of mortals in the spiritual vein will surely become food for those lottery-winning people." Wen Ruofei looked anxious and pleaded.

"Well, let's take action after entering the mountain together. If we are outside the mountain, without the protection of the defense magic array, I need to divide my attention to defense and it is difficult to attack with all my strength." Ling Pengyun replied.

Wen Ruofei is also a sensible person, and nodded in response.

Then, he took Ling Pengyun to fly towards Wuying Mountain.

On the way into Wuying Mountain, many monsters discovered the two's tracks and launched spells to attack, but they were all blocked by Ling Pengyun's defensive spells.

The two of them entered Wuying Mountain safely.

As soon as they entered the mountain, more than 20 Wen family monks stationed in the mountain called out to Ling Pengyun one after another. "Senior Ling."

Ling Pengyun didn't care about this and nodded in response. He looked at the six Wen family monks who were controlling two flame formation flags to trap the foundation-building demon python outside the mountain.

"Please, six fellow Taoists, control the flame formation to trap the foundation-building demon python outside the mountain for a while, in case I attack the foundation-building demon python, the demon python will realize that it is going to be defeated and run away."

The six Wen family monks who set up the flame formation were very afraid that the foundation-building demon python would be defeated and run away. If the demon python came back for revenge in the future, it would be troublesome.

Taking this into consideration, the six Wen Clan cultivators responded to Ling Pengyun's words one after another.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun did not delay any more time, and arranged a Yuanshui light curtain around his body with his hands in a seal.

The Yuanshui light curtain was not to guard against the group of monsters outside the mountain. This mountain was protected by a defensive formation and would not be broken in a short time.

What he was really on guard against were the more than 20 Wen Clan cultivators in the Qi training period who were also in this mountain.

Although the two families were not far apart, they were not very related.

Then, Ling Pengyun summoned the Qinggang mother-and-child flying sword from his storage bag.

As soon as the Qinggang mother-and-child flying sword was taken out, Ling Pengyun transferred two spiritual powers into it.

With the support of spiritual power, the set of Qinggang mother-and-child flying swords suddenly flashed with spiritual light, and a three-meter sword light burst out from the tip of each sword.

Once the sword light was formed, he threw the set of flying swords outside the mountain, the foundation-building demon python that was temporarily trapped by a raging fire.

The foundation-building demon python did not have much strength left to resist the huge flames conjured up by the flame array, and could only watch helplessly as the set of mother and child flying swords bombarded the set of protective Yuan Gang it held up.

As the Qinggang mother-and-child flying swords continued to bombard, the flashing spiritual light of the protective Yuan Gang held up by the demon python gradually dimmed.

After a hundred moves, some small cracks even appeared on the protective Yuan Gang.

Ling Pengyun of Wuying Mountain saw that the time was ripe, and pinched his fingers to cast his life spell "Blue Sea Sky Sword", condensing a six-zhang long azure flying sword.

Once the sword was completed, it turned into a bright blue sword light and quickly bombarded the protective Yuan Gang held up by the demon python.

"Crack."

A shattering sound was heard.

Immediately afterwards, the small cracks on the protective Yuan Gang held up by the demon python at the first level of foundation building quickly expanded.

In just a moment, the light curtain turned into fragments and dissipated in this world.

Without this light curtain to resist, the azure blue Blue Sea Sky Sword drove straight in and slashed the demon python's face.

Although the demon python used its inner elixir to block the attacking Jade Sea Sky Sword in time, the large flames transformed by the flame array and the set of blue steel mother-and-child flying swords were blocked by the lightless curtain and all attacked its body.

The two sword lights transformed by the blue steel mother-and-child flying swords slid across its head, leaving a trail of blood.

Its head also fell to the ground.

In just a moment, the demon python was dead.

On the top of Wuying Mountain.

Ling Pengyun was in a good mood after seeing that the demon python at the first level of foundation building was killed so easily.

He also helped the cultivator of the Yunwu Wen family. The Jade Sea Sky Sword, which still had a lot of power left, was controlled by his spiritual sense to kill the surrounding Qi training monsters. After killing nearly a hundred Qi training monsters, the Jade Sea Sky Sword ran out of power and dissipated on its own.

Although the Jade Sea Sky Sword had great merit, Ling Pengyun consumed 30% of his spiritual power in order to condense this life spell. When he was completely victorious, he could only cast three Jade Sea Sky Swords in succession.

After doing this, Ling Pengyun waved his hand to call back the set of green steel mother-and-child flying swords outside the mountain, turned around, and said to Wen Ruofei beside him.

"Elder Wen, the matter of killing the foundation-building monster beast is over."

"I hope that when my Lingxiao Ling family encounters a crisis in the future, your family can help each other."

"Of course, today Senior Ling has done a great favor, I will definitely tell the patriarch of my clan. When the monster beast chaos is quelled, the patriarch of my clan will definitely go to Lingxiao Mountain with a ceremony to thank you."

"Senior, this is the 500 spiritual stones I promised to give you." Wen Ruofei saw that the most threatening foundation-building monster python had been quickly killed by Ling Pengyun, and Ling Pengyun did not waste time, and he was quite satisfied with him.

He waved his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, summoned out 500 spiritual stones from it, handed them to Ling Pengyun, and said very happily.

"No need to thank me. If the nobles are thinking of my kindness, don't refuse when I come to the nobles' clan leader to entrust me to refine a second-level magic weapon in the future." Ling Pengyun waved his hand and put the 500 spiritual stones into the storage bag, and followed what Wen Ruofei said and continued.

This time, Ling Pengyun would support the Wen family so readily, firstly because of the 500 spiritual stones promised by the Wen family.

The second is to see the ownership of the corpse of the first-level monster beast.

The third is to make friends with the Yunwu Wen family, so that the Yunwu Wen family owes him some favors, so as to prepare for entrusting the Yunwu Wen family clan leader Wen Xianyun, a second-level lower-grade refiner, to help refine a second-level magic weapon in the future.

On the market, the price of buying a finished second-level lower-grade magic weapon is extremely expensive.

"Senior Ling, although I know that you have done a favor to my Wen family this time, I still need the approval of the clan leader to entrust me with the refining of the second-level magic weapon. I am just an elder and it is difficult for me to agree directly." Wen Ruofei frowned when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he replied.

"I understand. You can just tell your clan leader in the future. If he agrees to refine the weapon for me, we will be happy. If not, I will not force it."

"You have said enough. I will not stay any longer."

After Ling Pengyun finished speaking, he waved his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, summoned the mixed rock shield, propped up a mixed rock light curtain around his body, and then pinched the formula to perform two Yuanshui techniques to transform two Yuanshui light curtains to protect his body, and then climbed onto the Fengying Peng next to him.

Riding this Peng, he flew out of the Wuying Mountain protected by the formation.

With the help of four defensive light curtains around him, he resisted the bombardment of hundreds of Qi training monsters outside the mountain, and fell directly into the monster group outside the mountain, and put the corpse of the first-level foundation-building monster python into the storage bag.

Then he quickly rode Fengyingpeng away from here and returned to the family.

At this time.

At the top of Wuying Mountain.

Wen Ruofeng, the second elder of the Yunwu Wen family, walked to the side of Wen Ruofei and said solemnly.

"Myna, today we have confirmed the fact that Ling Pengyun of Lingxiao Ling family has also entered the foundation-building stage. I wonder what you think about this?"

Looking up at Ling Pengyun leaving, Wen Ruofei, who was distracted, heard the words helplessly.

"What else can we do? The Ling family already has Ling Yunhong, a guardian spirit beast in the foundation-building stage. Xianyun also confirmed in Xiyang Market that Ling Pengxing had entered the foundation-building stage. Now we have also seen Ling Pengyun who has also entered the foundation-building stage."

"With four foundation-building members, it is not difficult for the Ling family to destroy our Yunwu Wen family even if they want to."

"In addition, the Pingyun Yang family, who is related to the Bailingmen Jindan Zhenren, is a lackey for the Ling family. In nine out of ten cases, the Ling family will dare to do something to destroy our family in the future."

"If during the monster beast chaos, if Xianyun and the other clansmen who went to Xiyang Market to garrison can rely on killing monsters to exchange for a foundation-building pill, Nian Ling can rely on the foundation-building pill to successfully enter the foundation-building stage, and our Yunwu Wen family will still have some confidence in front of the Ling family."

"But if Xianyun and others did not exchange for the foundation-building pill, or if they exchanged for the foundation-building pill, but Nianling failed to break through the foundation-building pill, Xianyun, who was the only foundation-building cultivator, would have to take the path of marriage if he wanted to retain the family and reduce the family's losses."

Wen Nianling is the only cultivator of the younger generation of the Wen family.

Wen Xianyun is the patriarch of the Wen family.

Marriage is what Wen Ruofei and other elders of the Wen family are most reluctant to see.

It is not a good thing for a weaker family to take the initiative to marry a stronger family.

It sounds good to say that it is a marriage, but in fact it is a disguised expression of submission to a powerful family.

Once the Wen family takes the initiative to marry the Ling family, they will be like the Ling family in the future, and they will have to pay tribute to the "relatives" Yang family with a batch of spiritual objects every year.
