Chapter 1074: True Dragon Returns, Crisis, and the Shattered Array Map

Fu Changsheng was seeing Shangguan Feng so flustered for the first time. The congratulatory gift that Grand Elder Shi brought must be an incredible treasure. Fu Changsheng smiled as he accepted it:

“Elder Shi, I gladly accept.”

“Fu Clan Leader is too polite. I have been friends with your Uncle Feng for a lifetime. If you don’t mind, you can call me Uncle Shi in the future.”

Offering such a valuable item naturally implies a request.

At the side, Shangguan Feng transmitted another message:

“Changsheng, agree with him, I guarantee you won’t lose out.”

Fu Changsheng heard this.

And immediately laughed:

“Thank you, Uncle Shi.”

“Oh, very well, I see that you are very busy here, so I won’t stay and hinder you. We can communicate if there’s any matter.”

Saying that.

Grand Elder Shi handed the child talisman of the Mother-Child Communication Talisman to Fu Changsheng.

Even though the Eastern Wilderness and Celestial Wolf Tribes will be quiet for a period, no one can guarantee they won’t suddenly launch an attack. The Shi Family has only two Great Purple Mansions, one stationed in South Huai Prefecture, another in the Eastern Wilderness.

A truly formidable enemy arrives.

Alone, they are barely a match for the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.

This is why Grand Elder Shi is willing to part with such a treasure.

After Grand Elder Shi left.

Yaoyao and Yu Qingru were warmly kept by the Shangguan Family, as the Eight Trigrams Celestial Extinction Array needed repairs, relying solely on the elder Shangguan Chen was exhausting.

Celestial Sound Fairy was severely injured.

Fu Changsheng took her to rest at Yinan Mountain.

…..

Meanwhile.

Covered in blood, the Chieftain of the Celestial Wolf returned to Celestial Lang Mountain. When the tribe saw this scene, they were evidently dumbfounded; the Chieftain possesses Purple Mansion Peak Cultivation, unbeatable below the Golden Core.

Yet now, he looks deathly pale.

His aura is faint.

More importantly.

The three Purple Mansion Elders who went out with the Chieftain were nowhere to be seen.

This…. what exactly happened?!

As the people of Celestial Lang Mountain wondered.

Rumble!

The Mountain Protection Array that had just opened for less than ten years suddenly rose again with luminous spirit light, the barrier buzzed as it closed:

“This…. it’s closing the mountain again?”

“What in the world is going on? I had made plans to go to Tian Changshan with someone.”

“Me too, I had a batch of pills commissioned with Celestial Luck Fairy for refinement.”

“….”

The tribe was suddenly filled with complaints.

However.

The elders glared fiercely at the younger generation.

With the Chieftain in such a state, clearly having come across a formidable enemy, a foe that even he couldn’t handle. It must be a Golden Core Master. Having provoked such a person, closing the mountain is justified, even fleeing overnight wouldn’t be unreasonable. Yet, you all squabble over trivial personal gains.

Elder Langyun raised his head to look at the sun veiled by the array barrier.

His spine suddenly hunched much more.

With the Noble Families of the Great Zhou migrating into the Eastern Wilderness, these frontier tribes face worsening days. In less than sixty years, they have closed the mountain twice.

Over time…..

Elder Langyun dared not further ponder.

He sighed deeply.

After the Chieftain of the Celestial Wolf returned to his Secret Chamber, the other Purple Mansion Elders were already waiting; especially the Seventh Elder who guarded the Soul Hall, whose eyes were yet full of shock:

“Chieftain”

“What kind of upheaval occurred at the Shangguan Family?”

Not only was the Chieftain grievously wounded.

The three Great Purple Mansions of the tribe also perished.

This for their tribe is a heavy blow.

It’s known.

To cultivate another Purple Mansion, one must venture into the Secret Realm that opens every hundred years to obtain the Soul-Attracting Pill, but it’s been less than thirty years since it last opened.

The Chieftain of the Celestial Wolf was about to speak when he suddenly groaned, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, his face turned paler. He braced as he sat slowly, his eyes brushed over the present Purple Mansion Elders, a complex expression flitting through his eyes.

“Chieftain, please recuperate for a moment, there’s no rush.” The Seventh Elder stepped forward hurriedly, offering a Healing Elixir to the Chieftain.

Taking the elixir, the Chieftain swallowed it, closed his eyes to rest briefly, his breathing steadied slightly. He opened his eyes slowly, his voice low and hoarse: “During this trip to the Shangguan Family, we encountered unprecedented opponents.”

“Formidable foes?” The elders exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion and shock. The Celestial Wolf Tribe, though not top-tier in the Eastern Wilderness, is among the best, with the Chieftain at Purple Mansion’s peak cultivation, almost unbeatable below a Golden Core. What kind of being could strike him so?

“A Golden Core Master?” The Seventh Elder tested the waters with his query.

The Chieftain shook his head, a shade of dread crossed his eyes: “Not a Golden Core Master, but more terrifying than one.”

“More terrifying than a Golden Core Master?” The elders were even more dumbfounded. A Golden Core Master is already the highest existence in the Eastern Wilderness, something scarier would have to be a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the legends?

The Chieftain shook his head.

He saw again the celestial phenomenon caused by the Star Celestial Thunder Sword Array released by Fu Changsheng, a mere Mid-Stage Purple Mansion who could wield such a powerful array.

Once he matured in the future.

He would be another Emperor Zhou!

However.

The Purple Mansion Elders present listened to the Chieftain’s recount, exchanging looks. A Mid-Stage Purple Mansion cultivator, even practicing Sword Dao, how could he surpass realms, and slay a Golden Core?!

In their view.

The tribe was disadvantaged due to miscalculations, failing to anticipate the alliance between the Fu Family and the Shangguan Family, forming an Eight Trigrams Celestial Extinction Array, the deceased three Purple Mansion Elders’ Yiying was the Seventh Elder’s direct brother, the enmity of a brother lost must be avenged, the Seventh Elder gritted his teeth saying:
