Eternal Life by Daily Divination - Chapter 426 - 244: The Old Ancestor Takes Action, Array Inheritance
The Luo Family in the divination was, naturally, the Luo Family, one of the three great families at the base of the mountain.
The current Patriarch, Luo Yunhai, was Luo Yunshu’s cousin.
Luo Yunshu was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, after all. And with years of experience at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, her strength was considerable, making her a top-tier cultivator at her level.
Even if she encountered an enemy at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, it wouldn’t be enough to put the Luo Family in danger of being wiped out.
’The Luo Family must have run into an enemy at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.’
Li Chang’an mused silently.
He could now annihilate a Cultivator of that realm with a wave of his hand.
’To think the Luo Family managed to obtain a Tier Three Array inheritance. It seems they’ve had some fortuitous encounters of their own.’
…
「At the same time.」
At the foot of Changqing Mountain, within the Luo Clan Territory.
The current Luo Family Patriarch, Luo Yunhai, wore a troubled expression.
“Yunshu, that Foundation Establishment Qi Family is going too far! They attack and kill our Luo Family disciples at the slightest disagreement and have seized our Spiritual Ore mine.”
His brow was tightly furrowed with worry as he handed several messages to Luo Yunshu.
“Yunshu, let’s ask the Changqing Ancestor to intervene.”
“No!”
Luo Yunshu’s expression was grave as she gently shook her head.
Luo Yunhai asked, confused, “Why?”
“The Qi Family has five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, two of whom are at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. They also have a combined attack technique. Although the Ancestor is powerful, he is ultimately only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment…”
Over the years, Li Chang’an had always been discreet whenever he took action.
He either acted in secret or concealed his movements with Arrays.
Because of this, Luo Yunshu’s impression of Li Chang’an’s strength was still based on what she knew many years ago.
“The Ancestor can fight above his realm, but at most, he can only handle one Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.”
Luo Yunshu sighed.
She was afraid Li Chang’an would be no match for them and be defeated and killed, which was why she was unwilling to ask for his help.
“Yunhai, don’t be anxious. I will go and negotiate with the Qi Family again tomorrow. I’ll ask them why they are suddenly targeting our Luo Family.”
“This… Alright.”
Luo Yunhai fell silent, merely glancing discreetly toward Changqing Mountain.
「A few hours later.」
As the sky brightened, Luo Yunshu transformed into a streak of Spiritual Light and headed for the Foundation Establishment Qi Family, disappearing over the horizon in the blink of an eye.
After she left, Luo Yunhai immediately rushed to the foot of Changqing Mountain.
“Ancestor, this junior, Luo Yunhai, requests an audience!”
He was apprehensive, clutching a Jade Scroll tightly as he called out his request.
Before long, a gentle voice sounded.
“Come in.”
“Yes.”
Luo Yunhai was overjoyed and immediately went up the mountain, arriving at Changqing Mountain Peak.
He entered the cave residence, knelt on the spot, and raised the Jade Scroll high with both hands.
“Ancestor, this junior came upon this Jade Scroll by chance while inspecting a Spiritual Ore mine. It contains the inheritance for a Tier Three Middle Grade Array. I beg the Ancestor to accept it!”
“Mm.”
Li Chang’an nodded slightly.
With a beckoning gesture, the Jade Scroll flew into his hand.
It did indeed contain the inheritance for a Tier Three Middle Grade Array.
After just a casual glance, Li Chang’an gained some insight, and his Array Skill improved slightly.
His Array Skill had already reached the Quasi-Tier Three level, and having been at that realm for many years, his understanding was profound.
Now that he had the subsequent inheritance, he would soon be able to cross that threshold and officially become a Tier Three Array Master!
By then, Changqing Mountain would become an even more solid turtle shell.
Li Chang’an put away the Jade Scroll and turned his gaze to Luo Yunhai.
“Speak. Why have you presented this treasure?”
“Ancestor, I beg you to save my Luo Family!”
Luo Yunhai, his face etched with sorrow, began to explain the Luo Family’s troubles.
Ever since Luo Yunshu reached Foundation Establishment, the Luo Family’s development had been smooth sailing, and they had encountered almost no trouble.
The surrounding Qi Refining Influences had all pledged their allegiance.
Even stronger Foundation Establishment Influences were willing to give face to Changqing Mountain and didn’t make trouble for the Luo Family.
But just a few days ago, the Foundation Establishment Qi Family had brazenly attacked the Luo Family.
The Qi Family had five Foundation Establishment Cultivators in their clan. Their strength was immense, built up over several centuries, and they were simply not on the same level as the Luo Family.
In just a few days, the Luo Family had suffered heavy losses, with more than half of their family enterprises destroyed.
And the Qi Family had no intention of stopping. They had even declared their intent to completely annihilate the Luo Family.
Hearing this, Li Chang’an asked him, “Had the Luo Family offended the Qi Family before?”
“No, we’ve never had any conflicts before. In fact, we’ve always maintained normal trade relations.”
Luo Yunhai shook his head repeatedly; he didn’t understand it either.
Why had the Qi Family suddenly gone mad and started frantically attacking the Luo Family?
“Ancestor, Yunshu has already gone to negotiate with the Qi Family. But she’s no match for them alone. I’m afraid something will happen to her. I beg you to intervene, Ancestor!”
“Alright!”
Hearing this, Luo Yunhai was overjoyed.
He hastily added, “Ancestor, the Qi Clan Territory is located…”
Before he could finish, he suddenly felt the world spin around him.
When he came to his senses, he found himself already back at the foot of Changqing Mountain.
Luo Yunhai was shocked.
’As expected of a Foundation Establishment Ancestor.’
He looked up at the sky and saw a streak of light disappearing over the horizon.
The Foundation Establishment Qi Family’s clan territory was in another region.
For a Qi Refining Cultivator, the journey would take at least three or four days.
But to Li Chang’an, such a distance was nothing.
Before long, the Qi Family’s clan territory was already visible in the distance.
Just then, he heard a heaven-shaking explosion.
BOOM!
Immediately after, a familiar figure rose into the air outside the Qi Clan Territory—it was Luo Yunshu!
She executed an Escape Technique, transforming into a streak of azure Spiritual Light and rapidly fleeing the Qi Clan Territory.
Behind her, five Foundation Establishment Cultivators were in hot pursuit.
“Luo Yunshu, stop running! You won’t escape today!”
“Once we capture you and use you as bait, I refuse to believe that old turtle Li Chang’an won’t leave Changqing Mountain!”
The two speaking were the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Their strength was impressive and their Escape Techniques were extremely fast, allowing them to rapidly close in on Luo Yunshu.
