Chapter 571: Chapter 259: Great Harvest, Possession, and the Terror Unknown

But now it seems.

Besides Fu Changsheng, the Fu Family also harbors combat power capable of killing someone at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Gongsun Yun’s face turned pale.

He slumped in the Grandmaster’s Chair:

"It’s over, it’s over, we’ve really stirred up a hornet’s nest this time!!!"

At this moment, their Gongsun Family’s Foundation Establishment battle power is merely seven, even weaker than the Seven Strange People of Lingnan. If the Fu Family attacks the mountain now,

once the array is broken,

wouldn’t they immediately face annihilation?

When they saw the eight large characters inscribed on the heads of the Seven Strange People of Lingnan and Cao Xueyang, "Those who dare to oppose the Fu Family, must die!" Gongsun Yun shouted in fear:

"Patriarch, quickly, order the full activation of the Mountain Protection Array!"

He looked as if disaster was imminent.

Gongsun Wen glared at him:

"Eighteenth brother!"

The Fu Family is busy guarding several strongholds and won’t be sending troops here at this time.

Gongsun Wen remained fairly calm.

His mind was racing.

When everyone snapped out of the shock, Gongsun Wen looked up at Gongsun Run:

"Patriarch, you usurped the clan’s reserve Spirit Stones without the Elder Council’s consent; that’s one offense. Furthermore, you acted without consulting us and bribed the Seven Strange People of Lingnan to commit evil deeds, thus infuriating the Fu Family to the point they openly declared war on us, forcing our clan members to tread carefully in future activities."

"Most importantly,"

"those Spirit Stones were originally meant to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill at Wanning Marketplace, but they have now fallen into the hands of the Fu Family."

"Currently, the Fu Family openly has twelve in the Foundation Establishment stage. With those Spirit Stones, they could easily add a few more in a few years, whereas we in the Gongsun Family only have seven!"

"Their gain is our loss."

"If our Gongsun Family makes another misstep, we may follow in the Ping Family’s footsteps, being wiped out entirely by the Fu Family!!"

"Patriarch,"

"Please hand over the Patriarch Token."

"Your unilateral actions could inadvertently push our Gongsun Family into endless peril."

Upon saying this.

Gongsun Wen stood and bowed deeply to Gongsun Run:

"Patriarch, please hand over the Patriarch Token!"

At these words.

The Elders exchanged glances.

Gongsun Yun, always taking cues from Gongsun Wen, immediately stood up, cupped his hands, and said: "Patriarch, please hand over the Patriarch Token!"

The other four,

hesitated for a moment.

Then collectively stood up and said loudly:

"Patriarch, please hand over the Patriarch Token!"

"You all, you all defy me not... Pfft!!"

Gongsun Run didn’t finish his sentence.

He was so infuriated that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

...

The Treasure Ship sailed to Cloud Mountain.

After the tens of thousands of mortals from the Yum Family disembarked, Shangguan Hongyu couldn’t wait to put the Treasure Ship away and was almost eager to go back and delve into cultivation with the "Nine Heavens Star Technique."

So she didn’t linger.

After saying goodbye to Fu Changsheng, she directly returned to Celestial Dragon City for seclusion.

On the return journey.

Fu Changsheng, an experienced cultivator himself, had already informed Shangguan Hongyu about the key points and precautions for harnessing Star Power; her comprehension was exceptionally high, understanding everything at once.

As the Secret Chamber closed,

after confirming everything was correct, she concentrated on her cultivation once more.

...

Elsewhere.

Fu Changsheng asked Fu Yongyi to help Yum Feihong and others settle the clan members while he went ahead to Cloud Mountain.

Upon reaching the mountain gate of Cloud Mountain,

Yu Qingru, having received the news, was already waiting early on.

Seeing the Cyan Python appear,

she immediately rushed forward:

"Changsheng"

It had been ten years since Yu Qingru and Fu Changsheng last met.

However,

due to the recent attack on the clan lands by the Seven Strange People of Lingnan, Yu Qingru did not have the leisure for small talk. After exchanging a look, Yu Qingru led him up the mountain with the group, entered the Patriarch’s Mansion, and closed the array before finally speaking: "Changsheng, if not for your prior arrangement for Autumn Cicada’s support, I’m afraid..."

Thinking of the last battle between Autumn Cicada and Qiuu Shou’e, Yu Qingru felt a shiver of fear.

Qiuu Shou’e’s combat power was nearly equal, if not for Autumn Cicada’s ten Tier Two Ghost Soldiers and the array assistance, they couldn’t have subdued Qiuu Shou’e.

From this point of view.

Qiuu Shou’e alone could have taken their Clan Mountain.

Therefore.

If Fu Changsheng hadn’t warned them in advance,

their Yum Family would likely have been annihilated by now.

As Yu Qingru finished speaking,

a familiar mechanical voice immediately rang in Fu Changsheng’s Sea of Divine Sense:

"Ding"

"You successfully rescued the Ninth-Grade Noble Family under your administration from a crisis, earning 800 Clan Contribution Points."

Instantly after,

the contribution points on the panel surged to 8,390.

Joy filled Fu Changsheng’s heart, and seeing Yu Qingru still shaken, he patted her hand in reassurance: "Rest assured. After this incident, the Gongsun Family might have the intent but not the courage."

Moreover,

internal strife in the Gongsun Family might escalate again, lasting several more years.

Additionally, the Fu Family’s decisive action served as a warning to others, ensuring that no other noble family would dare covet them for at least the next decade.

Yu Qingru nodded slightly.

Then she waved her sleeve,

and eight storage bags smoothly floated towards Fu Changsheng:

"Changsheng, these are the storage bags of the Seven Strange People of Lingnan and Cao Xueyang."

The restrictions on the storage bags hadn’t been lifted yet.

Clearly,

Yu Qingru returned them to Fu Changsheng untouched.

Among them, one storage bag was engraved with the character "Chun," obviously belonging to Chun Erniang. Seeing this, Yu Qingru added: "Changsheng, Chun Erniang was a Tier Three Array Master."

Clearly,

Yu Qingru was quite curious about Chun Erniang’s storage bag.

After all,

she herself was an Array Master too.

Fu Changsheng immediately activated a technique towards Chun Erniang’s storage bag.

Buzz!

The restriction was lifted.

A flash of dawn light.

Dozens of multicolored boxes appeared in an instant, along with countless white bottles, each containing the same item: the male genitals.
