Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 350: Clash of Arms

Cyan Yang Prefecture.

Valley of Beasts.

The eight hundred elite members of the Beast Taming Zhou Family gathered on the open plain in front of the family grounds, confronting the Demon Sect army.

Immortal Bailian stood firmly in the center, flanked by two dazzling corpse beasts, the Red-winged Snake and the Strong Water Ape.

At this moment, she was at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, evidently the leader of the Zhou Family’s resistance.

Opposite.

The Demon Sect army was a black mass, numbering as many as three thousand.

The leader was none other than Immortal Yulan Wu Yulan, who was known alongside Immortal Bailian as the "Twin Beauties of Cyan Yang."

The two had grown up together since childhood, sharing an inseparable bond, well aware of each other’s strengths.

"It’s been years since we’ve seen each other, Sister Bailian, yet you still radiate the same charm as always."

Wu Yulan said with a slight smile.

Immortal Bailian returned the smile brightly: "Sister Yulan, you’re two years older than me, yet you don’t show any signs of aging."

"Beside you, is that your heart’s affection, Brother Nangong?"

Beside her, Nangong Guang, dressed in white, seemed like a gentleman amidst the grime of the world, lightly shaking his Ink Jade Black Bone Fan, with a smile on his face.

"Zhou Bailian, sharp-tongued, but it’s meaningless."

"I advise you to surrender."

"Otherwise, the Beast Taming Zhou Family will end here."

Immortal Bailian’s expression suddenly changed, her pretty face frosting over.

"Wu Yulan, Nangong Guang, you scoundrels who ambushed my father!"

"This debt between us, I have yet to settle."

"Such audacity! You rabble think you have the strength to destroy the Beast Taming Zhou Family?"

Wu Yulan gently shook her head.

"If that’s the case, Zhou Bailian, don’t blame me for disregarding our sisterly ties and being ruthless."

"Truth be told, the Valley of Beasts has been sealed by us. Your messenger spirit birds have all been killed."

"The reinforcements from Tiger Stream Ridge, don’t count on them. He Zhengming can’t even protect himself."

Immortal Bailian also gently shook her head.

"Wu Yulan, you bitch! Our Beast Taming Zhou Family has always relied on ourselves!"

"If you want to fight, then fight! Bring it on!"

"If you have what it takes, let’s duel one-on-one!"

Wu Yulan revealed the Female and Male Demon Swords.

Pointing at Immortal Bailian.

"Duel? Are you worthy?"

"Go! Whoever captures Zhou Bailian will be credited with first achievement!"

"A hundred thousand Demon Stones, three Demon Foundation Pills!"

No sooner had the words fallen.

Beside her, Nangong Guang charged ahead with a group of loyal demon cultivators.

Immortal Bailian similarly waved her White Silk, pointing at Wu Yulan.

"Capture Wu Yulan, a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, three Foundation Establishment Pills!"

"Daoist Sect merits all reward the individual!"

Zhou Family cultivators released their spiritual beasts and birds, formed formations, and slowly advanced.

Soon, the two armies clashed, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Nangong Guang raised a Demon Shield, protecting himself and loyal followers, weaving through the fray, with his target being Immortal Bailian.

At this moment, he was already at the peak of the Demon Foundation Late Stage, just a line from perfection.

His strength surged.

Throughout Cyan Yang Prefecture, he only feared the Zhou Family Patriarch, Master Zhou, He Zhengming, Hou Feifan, Wu Yulan, and others.

The Zhou Family Patriarch was old, with his lifespan near its end.

He wouldn’t strike unless absolutely necessary.

The Zhou Family Master had been lured by Wu Yulan and severely injured by a pre-set array.

As for the current Zhou Bailian in front of him, he hadn’t taken her seriously.

"Capture Zhou Bailian, vent my anger!"

Nangong Guang feared most the one who pressured him to the point of near death, Shen Xuan.

Ten years ago, Shen Xuan fell out with the Su Family of Feiyun Mountain and left Cyan Yang Prefecture, returning to Cyan Cloud Sect.

The happiest person was him.

After repeatedly confirming the news was accurate, he dared to show up in Cyan Yang Prefecture again.

Because of Shen Xuan, his cultivation progress was delayed.

In terms of strength and influence, he was originally slightly weaker than Wu Yulan.

Now, he was nothing more than assisting Wu Yulan.

"These two women are no good! When my demon technique achieves great success, I’ll show you!"

Nangong Guang glimmered with Black Flame Demon Light, warding off the attacks from spiritual birds and beasts, as well as various magical treasures and techniques.

It was a Demon Sect Secret Technique he had recently cultivated, named Bone-Transforming Corpse Flame, refined from the corpses of thousands of cultivators, extremely vicious.

The ferocious attacks from several Tier Two spiritual beasts just touched his Bone-Transforming Corpse Flame and let out a sharp scream, their steel beaks and talons tainted, and fine black flames began to ignite.

The peak of the Demon Foundation Later Stage, coupled with the powerful Demon Sect Secret Technique Bone-Transforming Corpse Flame.

Against the Beast Taming Zhou Family Foundation Establishment cultivators, it really felt like using a bull’s knife to kill chickens.

Immortal Bailian furrowed her brow lightly.

Divine Thought Master.

The Red-winged Snake flew to the front of the formation, its four wings raised high, its crown suddenly erect, issuing the Screaming Snake Demon Sound toward the front of the demon cultivator troops.

A great sound of gong and bell echoed across the battle plains.

Space twisted in front of the Red-winged Snake, the invisible sound wave attack layered and surged like ocean waves.

The fierce assaulting demon cultivators became sluggish.

Some demon cultivators with weaker cultivation, their demonic qi circulation blocked, went berserk immediately, attacking fellow demon cultivators furiously.

The Red-winged Snake screamed three times consecutively.

Its form instantly became weak.

Immortal Bailian’s pretty face turned pale like paper.

She quickly took out a bottle of Spirit Pills, pouring a few and swallowing them.

Her face then slightly improved, gaining a touch of color.

"Master, are you alright?"

A pretty young female cultivator beside her asked in a soft voice.

"I’m fine!"

Despite the words.

Seeing this scene, the two elderly Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Zhou Family couldn’t help but reveal a worried expression.

In this battle, apart from the Zhou Family Patriarch overseeing the family grounds, the rest of the elite came forth.

While there were nine Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Coupled with more than a dozen Tier Two spiritual birds and beasts, the strength wasn’t weak.

But the combat power was clearly inferior compared to the Demon Sect.

Demon Foundation cultivators naturally held stronger battle power compared to Spirit Cultivators of the same stage.

And they outnumbered.

Logically speaking, the Zhou Family should have retreated and relied on the Mountain Protection Array to steadfastly guard the Valley of Beasts.

However, during the Zhou Family Clan Elder council, Zhou Bailian forcefully demanded to first fight a battle against the demon cultivator army.

Not just to avenge her father.

But also to account to the Cyan Cloud Sect.

If defeated and suffering great losses, then retreat to guard the Valley of Beasts.

Afterward, maintain strength as best as possible and watch the situation unfold.

If truly unmanageable, when the entire Cyan Yang Prefecture falls, they would break through and escape, relocating the entire clan elsewhere to seek life.

As for surrendering to the Demon Sect, it was unanimously rejected.

Not due to any nonsense about righteousness.

However, the Beast Taming Zhou Family is fundamentally rooted in beast mastery, and nurturing Spirit Beasts requires abundant cultivation resources, which can only be obtained in the Spirit Cultivation Territory.

The Demon Sect domain is overwhelmed with demonic qi, completely unsuited for nurturing Spirit Beasts.

Even a perfectly good Spirit Beast could be corrupted by demonic qi, becoming a ferocious and uncontrollable Demon Beast.

The Zhou Family Patriarch, considering the long-term interests of the family, would never surrender to the Blood Spirit Sect.

"Petty trick!"

Nangong Guang deployed the Demon Shield, which instantly expanded into a demonic qi barrier over ten feet in diameter.

It sheltered the entire Demon Cultivator squad behind it.

The Screaming Snake Demon Sound only inflicted significant damage with its first note on the demon cultivators.

The subsequent two notes were completely blocked by the Demon Shield barrier, causing almost no harm.

Nangong Guang sneered, "Zhou Bailian, is this all you’ve got?"

"Is this all that man of yours taught you?"

"Oh! You’re merely his plaything, worth only this much!"

After speaking, Nangong Guang’s figure swelled to over ten feet, transforming into a fierce demon with a blue face and tusks.

The Ink Jade Black Bone Fan in his hand enlarged rapidly, with its ribs extending to form blades over ten feet long.

Then, the Ink Jade Black Bone Fan began to spin, emitting blades of frenzied sharpness, intertwining into a storm that roared forward like a massive hurricane.

The Spirit Birds and Beasts of the Zhou Family standing at the forefront were instantly torn apart by the Blade Storm, flesh and blood flying, demonic qi rampant.

The Zhou Family cultivators retreated swiftly.

No one dared to face such mighty blade storms with their flesh and blood.

Immortal Bailian shouted angrily, "Break!"

Beside her, the Strong Water Ape suddenly stood upright like a human, roared defiantly, and leaped forward, its entire body shimmering with golden light, delivering a thunderous punch towards the Blade Storm.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the Blade Storm abruptly stalled, appearing momentarily frozen.

The enormous figure of the Strong Water Ape was flung backwards.

Yet, only a few breaths later.

Under Nangong Guang’s urging, it resumed its operation.

The Strong Water Ape returned to Immortal Bailian’s side.

By now, its golden light had dimmed, and its right fist was bloody and blurred, missing a small portion.

Nangong Guang smiled as he urged the Blade Storm, pressing towards the Zhou Family cultivator team, step by step.

"Patriarch, withdraw!"

"If we continue fighting, we can’t afford these losses for the Zhou Family!"

"Indeed, our Zhou Family has done enough for Cyan Cloud Sect and He Zhengming!"

Two Foundation Establishment Clan Elders pleaded bitterly.

Immortal Bailian sighed softly.

This battle with the Demon Cultivator army hadn’t cost the Zhou Family cultivators much.

But the Spirit Birds and Beasts of the Zhou Family suffered nearly half losses.

It was truly a drastic blow.

Even for herself.

She had exhausted all her means.

The Red-winged Snake and Strong Water Ape went to battle one after the other.

If her opponent were only an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

She still could maneuver a bit.

However, Nangong Guang is a core formation seed of the Demon Sect, with remarkable combat power.

Wu Yulan has been watching closely, yet hasn’t made a move.

In this battle, the Zhou Family is undoubtedly destined for defeat.

Persisting only aggravates Zhou Family’s losses.

Immortal Bailian pondered briefly, about to order a retreat.

Suddenly, she felt something in her heart.

In the distant sky, a Silver Celestial Horse spread its wings and flew over.

"Is it him?"

Even though she couldn’t see the figure on the horse’s back clearly.

Immortal Bailian instantly thought of Shen Xuan.

It was a very mysterious feeling.

Beyond the five senses.

A kind of spiritual connection that only intimate people can have.

"He’s here!"

"Why did he come?"

Immortal Bailian muttered to herself.

...

Shen Xuan broke through to the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment.

After solidifying his foundation.

He learned from Master Cold Jade that the Cyan Cloud Sect and Medicine God Valley had reached a peace agreement.

So he immediately proposed to venture out seeking opportunities.

He shared the ten-year promise with the Purple Essence Divine Wood Great Demon with Master Cold Jade.

And got Master Cold Jade’s permission. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Upon returning to his cave mansion.

Shen Xuan noticed the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse being agitated and restless.

He immediately communicated with its Divine Soul.

Only then did he learn that the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse sensed a breakthrough opportunity.

It was about to break through to Tier Two.

Cold Jade Peak is a Tier Three spirit vein.

In theory, it is suitable for the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse’s breakthrough.

However, a more ideal location was where Shen Xuan was about to go—Luoxia Lake.

That’s truly a paradise for water attribute Demon Beasts.

Shen Xuan soothed the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse.

Preparing to take it along to the Wilderness Luoxia Lake.

Master Gu Feng sent a message.

Instructing him to make a stop at Cyan Yang Prefecture while seeking opportunities outside.

Master Lingxiao’s direct disciple He Zhengming had single-handedly faced the three major demon cultivators of the Blood Spirit Sect.

As time progressed.

He began to exhibit signs of decline.

Previously, he relied on the Thunder Spirit Pearl to find a momentary truce between Daoists and Demons.

But a year ago, the Daoists and Demons reignited the war.

The three major demon cultivators of the Blood Spirit Sect had all achieved Great Success in their demon techniques.

He Zhengming was increasingly struggling.

Master Gu Feng and Master Lingxiao shared a deep bond.

The lineage of Little Gu Feng often received attention from the Law Enforcement Hall.

Master Gu Feng knew Shen Xuan’s combat power was astonishing, nearly unsurpassed in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Though he didn’t state it outright.

In essence, he wanted him to lend a hand to Cyan Yang Prefecture’s He Zhengming.

Shen Xuan gladly agreed.

To him, it was merely a matter of convenience.

Being able to earn the favor of the sect’s Golden Core True Masters was only beneficial!

Originally, Shen Xuan planned to visit the Valley of Beasts first, to see Immortal Bailian.

After all, their twenty-year bond of mutual support and companionship.

By coincidence, he happened upon the battle between the Zhou Family and the demon cultivators.
