Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 392 - 233: Song Family Attacked_2

Chapter 392 -233: Song Family Attacked_2

Hearing this, Lin Shilu nodded his head. Indeed, the number of cultivators in Luoyun Market was limited. Even a few years ago, the population of the entire market did not exceed a few thousand people, among whom Qi Refining Cultivators below the fifth level accounted for more than half.

The actions taken by the Lin Family initially had already caught the attention of a small portion of cultivators, and some of them left at the first sign of trouble. Over the years, the number of cultivators within the market had dwindled, so the number of recruited cultivators was within expectations.

Thinking of this, he immediately smiled and said, “Xingcheng, you’ve done your best, and we cannot force these matters. Having this number has already met our predetermined goal, so there’s no need to fuss over it any longer!”

“Yes… Recruiting those low-level cultivators is also meaningless. Under the vast demon beast tide, they simply can’t resist, and there’s no need to sacrifice them…”

Lin Tianming and another casually exchanged a few words. By now, Luoyun Market already had nearly ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators defending it, plus the nearly thousand Qi Refining Cultivators and the protection of the Defensive Array, its overall strength wasn’t much less than that of the Lin Family Clan Grounds.

With this matter concluded, the two chatted idly for a while before Lin Shilu asked Lin Tianming about his plans going forward.

...

Lin Tianming smiled and replied, “I’ll rest tonight, and tomorrow I’ll return to Golden Horn Mountain to join my father. There are fewer clan members there, and their defensive power is limited, so I cannot be away for too long.”

“Hmm… Then be careful. The defenses at Golden Horn Mountain are indeed a bit weak, but having a smaller target has its advantages. If you’re lucky, maybe no demonic beasts will attack after all!” Lin Shilu comforted him.

Lin Tianming nodded, and after a few more casual exchanges, they each returned to their private chambers.

The next morning, Lin Tianming quietly left Luoyun Market, appearing on a mountain peak outside the market.

Looking at the vast city that was barely visible in the distance, he immediately turned and left, flying toward the direction of Golden Horn Mountain.

The Purple Gold Eagle flew into the clouds, with the fierce wind howling past him as he carefully observed every movement around him.

Heading north, despite the clan’s clearance, demonic beasts still appeared from time to time. They were either in groups of two or three or in small groups of over a dozen. Fortunately, he did not encounter many demonic beasts in the First Order Late Stage or Second Order.

Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming’s brows furrowed. He knew that the demonic beast tide was imminent.

With this in mind, the Purple Gold Eagle’s speed greatly increased, turning into a blur as it shot northward.

In just one day, he smoothly arrived at Golden Horn Mountain.

Looking at the familiar mountain gate, everything was as usual without a trace of beasts having been there; he breathed a sigh of relief.

Entering the mountain gate, Lin Xingrong and Lin Tianfeng, who had been notified of his safe return, immediately gathered.

Seated in the Cave Mansion Courtyard, they chatted, exchanging recent news. Everything was peaceful, and they only needed to wait for further updates on the beast tide.

Learning that the family had recruited cultivators to remain at Luoyun Market, Lin Xingrong and the other person were very satisfied, fully approving of this strategy.

Currently, the clan’s strength was most potent, and Luoyun Market was also formidable—only Golden Horn Mountain was relatively weaker.

Observing the two with furrowed brows, Lin Tianming quietly pondered countermeasures.

Their combined strength, including the Purple Gold Eagle, amounted to merely four combatants at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so their overall strength wasn’t considered high. If they encountered a large-scale demon beast tribe, even with the former Jin Family’s Protective Formation, the situation would still be quite perilous.

However, regarding the situation at Golden Horn Mountain, he felt relatively helpless.

The family members still lacked time to grow; most were at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, many having just broken through in the past few years, making them the strength the family needed to keep hidden, afraid to reveal themselves lightly.

Seeing the atmosphere turn somewhat melancholic, Lin Xingrong chuckled reassuringly.

“There’s no need to be so pessimistic. Golden Horn Mountain has unique terrain. Forming a triangular standoff with the clan grounds and Luoyun Mountain, should any danger arise, I believe the family will sense it and come to support us!”

“Yes… A full-speed flight on the Purple Gold Eagle is just a day’s journey. This distance isn’t very far, so there’s no need to worry so much!”

Lin Tianming echoed the sentiment, and gradually, everyone’s faces looked better.

Lin Xingrong nodded, and they began discussing the matters of defense. After consultation, they decided to rotate one person every ten days to take charge of patrolling and defending, while the other two cultivated.

The two naturally had no objections, and with one accord, Lin Tianfeng and Lin Tianming then took their leave.

Before leaving, Lin Tianming took out the talisman paper drawn by his sister and handed most of them to his father before returning to a secret chamber to begin his cultivation.

Time flew by, and before he knew it, half a month had passed.

Wei Kingdom, Yunyang Mountain Range.

The Yunyang Mountain Range is located on the northern edge of the Wei Kingdom, its area roughly comparable to that of the Luoyun Mountain Range, and it borders the Cultivation World of Xi Country in Qingzhou, known as well for its barren lands.

On this day, in a corner of the Yunyang Mountain Range, a large number of demonic beasts, for some unknown reason, suddenly surged out in groups from the depths of the mountain, launching an attack towards the heartland of the Wei Kingdom.

Song Family’s mountain gate—this is a corner of the Yunyang Mountain Range and a place rich in spiritual energy.

As one of the four Foundation Establishing Families of the Yunyang Mountain Range, the Song Family had stood for over five hundred years and was considered an established clan.

Early this morning, outside the Song Family’s grounds, a massive number of demonic beasts had gathered. Among them were three Second Order Late-Stage demon beasts, over a dozen Second Order Middle and Initial Stage demonic beasts, and more than a thousand First Order demon beasts.

This formidable demon beast tribe attacked the Song Family’s Protective Clan Formation without any reservations.

After a round of earth-shaking tremors, a large number of Song Family cultivators inside the mountain gate were ashen-faced.

Among the crowd, an elderly man with white hair stood with an extremely grave expression.

This man was one of the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Song Family, Song Zhiying, who was at the Fifth Level of Foundation Establishment and had served as the Clan Leader of the Song Family for nearly a hundred years.

Seeing the panicked clan members, he forced a composed demeanor, and his resonant voice was heard.

“Fellow clansmen, our family’s Protective Clan Formation is of Second Order Medium Quality, and if nothing goes awry, it should be able to withstand the beasts for a while.”

“As long as we hold firm for a few months, once the Myriad Flames Sect becomes aware of the demonic beast invasion, they will surely send out their elite disciples to eradicate them!”

Hearing this, the clan members calmed down a bit, but most were still heavily worried, seeming not to have much confidence in the Song Family’s future.

Their concern was understandable; though the Protective Clan Formation was strong, these beasts were no trifles, and the destructive power of the Second Order Late-Stage demonic beasts was unimaginable.

Besides, with the large number of Second Order Initial and Middle Stage demonic beasts in this group, it was entirely feasible for them to muster enough strength over time to break through the Song Family’s Protective Clan Formation.

Under such circumstances, the crisis was upon the Song Family. To strike out was to court death; they could only stand firm and await aid, praying for the Myriad Flames Sect to dispatch their best to help.

Just as everyone was in a daze, a loud voice rang out, bringing relief to the Song Family members.

Above everyone’s head appeared a scholar-like middle-aged man; this was Song Zhiwen, the highest cultivator of the Song Family, at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Level, who had been in seclusion and would only emerge when the family was in dire straits.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Song Zhiying’s face regained calmness. He then turned and spoke to several clansmen nearby:

“All clansmen must emerge from seclusion immediately, prepare for battle as soon as possible, and distribute all the family’s stored resources to our members. If the Protective Clan Formation is breached, be ready to break out!

After issuing several commands, Song Zhiying’s voice echoed with responses from the crowd.

Soon, once the arrangements were made, the clan members dispersed, leaving Song Zhiying and Song Zhiwen standing there.

Seeing the clan members leave, Song Zhiying furrowed his brow tightly and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Eighteenth brother, I fear the Song Family will suffer heavy losses this time!”

Upon hearing this, Song Zhiwen’s face also grew dark. The moment the Protective Clan Formation was struck by the demonic beasts, he had already perceived the overall strength of this group of beasts.
