Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 299 - 176: Dragon and Phoenix Void Cauldron, Earth Divine Soil, Jade Coffin Maiden (3)
"Ding!"
A jade talisman fell to the ground.
"This...."
Fu Changsheng’s throat moved.
The scene that just occurred was quite eerie.
At this moment.
The original location of the jade coffin rumbled and vibrated, the ground naturally healed together, as if nothing had ever happened.
Except for the jade talisman on the ground.
.....
Main Hall Buddha Hall.
The Shangguan Family and others had already gathered here.
In the main hall.
There was a teleportation array conspicuously present.
There were dust footprints of three people on the teleportation array, indicating that Grand Elder Gongsun should have been teleported from here to the Inner Sect.
At this moment.
Shangguan Hongyu and Shangguan Chen had finished inspecting the teleportation array, nodding and saying:
"Father, just place Spirit Stones into this teleportation array to activate it, but it can only teleport eight people at a time."
"Hmm"
Shangguan Feng nodded slightly, glanced behind him, and seeing Fu Changsheng had not yet arrived, was about to speak when Shangguan Ding quickly said: "Reporting to the Grand Elder, when I came out from the back hall, Fellow Daoist Fu had just gone in."
They hadn’t found anything of high value in the Outer Sect.
Clearly, the good items had been scavenged by the Gongsun Family.
Hence.
Everyone present couldn’t help but want to quickly enter the Inner Sect, otherwise, if the good items fell into the Gongsun Family’s hands, their journey would have been in vain.
Fu Molan stepped forward, cupped her hands, and said:
"Elder Feng, our patriarch just sent a message saying you should go ahead and teleport in, he will come later."
Hearing this.
Shangguan Hongyu was the first to speak:
"Is there any trouble?"
"Thank you, Miss Hongyu, for your concern, but our patriarch said there’s no need to worry about him."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Ding couldn’t help but urge:
"Grand Elder, in that case, let’s go ahead and teleport over first, since this teleportation array can only send eight people at a time anyway."
Shangguan Feng nodded.
And entered the array first.
Shangguan Hongyu considered waiting for Fu Changsheng but was urged by Shangguan Ding several times:
"Hongyu, once you enter the Inner Sect, you might rely on you and Uncle Qi to break the array together."
Seeing this, Shangguan Hongyu relayed a message to Molan and then stepped into the array. As Spirit Stones were continuously infused into the teleportation array, a dazzling spirit light shone, and with a roar.
The next instant.
They disappeared within the teleportation array.
After the Shangguan Family left.
Yu Qingru’s eyes flickered because she was standing next to Fu Molan. The words just now were not transmitted by Fu Changsheng to Fu Molan, so she couldn’t help worrying:
"Elder Mo, should we go to the back hall to see if the patriarch needs help?"
"No need, if help were needed, the patriarch would have notified us when he received the message."
Fu Molan sat down cross-legged where she was.
The reason she didn’t want to teleport away with the Shangguan Family.
For one.
Entering now would most likely result in running into the Gongsun Family, and if so, a fight couldn’t be avoided. Grand Elder Gongsun was at the Foundation Establishment Peak, clearly different from the other Gongsun members guarding Duolong Lake with exhausted mana.
Additionally.
Joining the Shangguan Family to enter the Inner Sect.
If they really encountered some rare treasure.
It’s quite possible that the Shangguan Family might kill them to keep the secret, especially since more than just Shangguan Feng and his daughter had entered now, so it’s best to avoid the Shangguan and Gongsun Families if possible.
The two sat in meditation for about half an hour in the main hall.
Unlike Fu Molan’s calm demeanor, Yu Qingru kept glancing outside until she couldn’t resist waiting directly at the main hall’s entrance.
Finally.
A familiar figure emerged at the back hall’s exit.
Yu Qingru promptly stepped forward:
"Patriarch"
Scanning his body up and down.
Seeing Fu Changsheng unharmed, the worry on her face subsided, and she reported:
"Patriarch, six members of the Shangguan Family have already entered the Inner Sect through the teleportation array about half an hour ago."
"Hmm"
Fu Changsheng was unhurried.
Because the true seclusion place of the owner of this ruin.
Even if the Shangguan and Gongsun Families arrived early, they couldn’t pass through the Bone Spirit Cold Fire’s guard.
Arriving at the main hall.
Fu Molan had already risen from her meditation.
The three of them entered the teleportation array.
Fu Molan infused Spirit Stones into the teleportation array, while Yu Qingru activated the technique and operated the teleportation array.
Buzz!
A dazzling spirit light shone.
The three were instantly enveloped in white light, disappearing in a flash.
Fu Changsheng only felt a swirl of heaven and earth, and in the next instant, he appeared within the Inner Sect. The teleportation array was set in a side hall of the Inner Sect.
Upon appearing in the side hall.
A pungent smell of blood hit his nose.
Blood was everywhere on the ground.
A corpse at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, wearing a Gongsun Family jade pendant, was lying on the ground.
Clearly.
To prevent entry into the Inner Sect, the Gongsun Family had specially stationed guards here, and there had been a recent bloody battle.
Seeing this.
Yu Qingru’s pupils contracted.
She quickly glanced at Fu Molan.
If not for Fu Molan refusing the Shangguan Family earlier, they would have teleported over.
A prepared ambush by the Gongsun Family.
With cultivation levels not exceeding that of the Shangguan Family, all of whom were at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, they might have perished if they were not careful.
Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve, directly storing the corpse. For Xiaoqing and Autumn Cicada, this was a great supplement.
The three emerged from the side hall.
Facing them was the northern side hall.
According to intelligence, the northern side hall contained Condensing Pill Water.
With the Condensing Pill Water.
Meizhen and Shi Shutong could increase the chances of refining a Foundation Establishment Pill by thirty percent, Fu Changsheng said, "Let’s go across."
With the presence of the Gongsun Family and others in the Inner Sect.
So.
Fu Changsheng instructed the three of them to advance in a group, rather than acting freely as in the Outer Sect.
The ruins of the northern side hall had collapsed by more than half.
Yu Qingru exclaimed:
"Patriarch, look here!"
It was a collapsed stone tablet at the entrance of the palace engraved with the Inner Sect’s layout, with names marked on it. Fu Changsheng took a careful look and found that the Water Dragon Pool mentioned in the intelligence was in the northernmost direction.
Yu Qingru pointed towards the southernmost part, her tone a bit excited:
"Patriarch, this here is the Treasure Hall!"
Fu Molan’s eyes also lit up. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Since it was a Treasure Hall.
It indicated that most of the treasures of this ruin were stored there.
Whether it’s the Gongsun Family or the Shangguan Family, they have likely discovered this layout as well, and would certainly head there immediately. But they were already half an hour late, and if they went now, it was uncertain if they would still make it in time.
