Chapter 821: Chapter 588: The Fall of Purple Swan Mountain, Unspoken Understanding Among the Strong (Two-in-One)
In the great hall of Purple Swan Mountain, with the arrival of the Purple Mansion Independent Cultivator Xu Quansheng, the entire Purple Swan Mountain was shrouded in an even greater array aura.
Flocks of jet-black swans circled the entire peak, one wave after another, like patrolling cultivators.
They thoroughly inspected the surrounding area within a hundred-mile radius.
Xu Quansheng waited in the assembly hall for a long time before Xun Changqing finally arrived.
“Young friend Changqing, is there some major event within the Xun Family today? Why such a defensive setup?” Xu Quansheng inquired.
“We had a reckless evil cultivator snatch something from us, and we’re preparing to ambush him. Elder Xu, thank you for gracing us with your presence. I apologize for not welcoming you in person.”
“No worries, I understand. I came here to visit Brother Xun. I recently acquired a Four-color Glazed Stone and wish to refine a Glazed Armor.” Xu Quansheng explained.
“Elder Xu, that can certainly be arranged. However, both our ancestors are currently in seclusion and unable to respond. If you’re not in a hurry, you may leave the glazed stone, and our ancestors will naturally refine it for you!” Xun Changqing replied.
Xu Quansheng indeed took out a jade box.
Inside the jade box was a Four-color Glazed Stone, a Tier Three Middle Grade Treasure Material, extremely precious and rare.
“Will it be possible to refine it within three years?” Xu Quansheng asked.
“I can’t guarantee that!” Xun Changqing replied.
“After all, both our ancestors are Purple Mansion Ascendants, and it’s possible they could remain in seclusion for years, even decades…”
Upon hearing this, Xu Quansheng also put the jade box away and then took his leave.
Watching Xu Quansheng depart, a barely noticeable smile flickered across Xun Changqing’s face.
With that, every step of the plan was back on track, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He was not really Xun Changqing, but rather Ye Xuefan in disguise.
“Now, only the final step remains!” he murmured, as the Ye Family’s plot against the Xun Family and Pill Desolate was nearing its end.
Now, he just needed to wait for the battles to erupt in the distance, and then die at the hands of Xun Changsheng.
…
In the great hall of Profound Cyan Peak, many members of the Profound Cyan Gang gathered in the square.
At this moment, apart from cultivators of the three families, many members of the Profound Cyan Gang were somewhat puzzled.
They didn’t know why they had gathered today.
Most of these cultivators were hoping to join a sect, but couldn’t meet the threshold of the Qinghe Sect.
Besides, there were a few who were drawn in by the treasure.
Thus, a grand total of more than four hundred cultivators were present on the square.
Moreover, these were the cultivators from the Profound Cyan Gang who excelled at magical combat.
At that moment, Ji Tianhe and Xiao Hongyun arrived side by side in the sky.
Following behind them was a giant Black-headed Python.
This Black-headed Python also possessed the combat power of a Tier Three Purple Mansion and was the Guardian Spirit Beast of the Xing Family, known as the Black Jade Great Demon.
“Fellow cultivators of the Profound Cyan Gang, the Purple Swan Xun Family has gone too far, injuring our stationed member Xiao He in Tongxin County and seizing treasures!”
“This individual is a descendant of my third generation relative, and among the Qi Cultivation cultivators of our Profound Cyan Gang, he’s the most likely to break through to the Purple Mansion. Today, the Xun Family must give us justice, or we will flatten Purple Swan Mountain and share its spoils with everyone!”
Xiao Hongyun spoke word by word.
Upon hearing these words, at first, the members of the Profound Cyan Gang weren’t too affected, but upon hearing “share its spoils,” their eyes lit up with eagerness.
The last time, they reaped significant gains, harkening back to the assault on the Taiyi Sect.
Now presented with another opportunity, how could they not be tempted?
Even though Yanhui Commandery is a large commandery with three to four hundred towns and villages spanning tens of thousands of miles, the cultivation resources remain constant.
Many among them, without fortuitous encounters, had no chance to break through their current realms.
“Everyone, move out!” Xiao Hongyun and Ji Tianhe each took out a Tier Three Spiritual Ship and set off in grand formation towards Purple Swan Mountain.
Meanwhile, the Black-headed Python continued to coil on Three Kings Peak, prepared for any potential crises.
Xing Daorong of the Xing Family was tasked with defense—although fewer treasures came from defending, the Xing Family itself lagged one tier behind the other two families.
However, Ji Tianhe and Xiao Hongyun promised him that if they succeeded this time, he would be the first to receive a Purple Mansion Jade Liquid bought with the Xun Family’s treasures.
He naturally had no objections.
In fact, the Xing Family contributed the most Foundation Establishment cultivators to this assault, numbering four.
…
In a hidden great hall on Purple Swan Mountain, Xun Changsheng’s expression was somber as he gazed at a jade order.
This jade order allowed communication with an Xi Xuan Ascendant in Xi Wang Valley.
Before, the Xun Family had been offering Spirit Stones annually to Xi Xuan Ascendant.
But when he sent a message up, all he received back from Xi Xuan Ascendant was the word “escape!”
No further information followed.
He knew that the Yan Family and Profound Cyan Gang would definitely make a move, if not one family, then possibly both. This was a premeditated action.
The Xun Family had no opportunities left!
Even Xi Wang Valley had been bribed.
He lamented that these forces were truly shameless.
To keep Xi Wang Valley from interfering, they must have promised significant assurances.
It was about squeezing the family dry to support the sect.
At that moment, he even suspected that the Profound Cyan Gang was actually an insider for the Qinghe Sect.
He transmitted messages to some juniors, planning for their escape.
For the entire Xun Family to flee was naturally unusual, as it would make them more of a target; only a small part escaping could stand a chance.
Of course, to him, he was the most important. As long as he survived, he could one day break through to the Purple Mansion and restore the glory of the Xun Family.
“No, I must secure the Soul Talisman!” Just then, Xun Changsheng murmured.
