The border between Yingchuan County and Yanxing County.

A burly man in black robes stood atop a mountain, looking at the towering peaks before him with a look of disdain.

As a bandit cultivator, Li Heihu never did anything without profit. He had only been to Yingchuan County, a poor and desolate place, once in his early years and had no intention of returning.

The reason is simple: resources are too scarce. The magical power, magical artifacts, talismans, and so on that are expended in a single raid are far beyond what the Qi Refining Clan can make up for.

Only the spiritual treasures of the three major Foundation Establishment families could catch his eye.

Unfortunately, we don't have the strength to snatch it right now.

If you're just going to plunder their property, you can come and go as you please, but as I said before, it's not worth it.

In his early years, Li Heihu was still very weak, so he thought of robbing the Yun family. As a result, he was beaten so badly that he was on the verge of death and only managed to escape with the help of a secret treasure.

Since then, I have never set foot here again.

I never expected that upon returning today, I would be invited back by my old enemy.

Li Heihu glanced at the bandit cultivators behind him. Over the years, his business had grown bigger and bigger, and he had also absorbed another bandit cultivator gang. Currently, including himself, the team had a total of three Foundation Establishment cultivators, ten late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and twenty mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

At first glance, there seem to be very few Qi Refining cultivators in the group, but in fact, they follow an elite route.

He adhered to the principle of grabbing and running away without any delay, which meant that the cultivators in his gang were almost always capable of fighting two or even three opponents at once.

This is why many Foundation Establishment families in Yanxing County had no way to deal with Li Heihu. As a result, he became famous and even some Golden Core forces issued arrest warrants.

Looking at the Du Family Feather Stone Mountain so close at hand, Li Heihu couldn't help but step forward and urge a rogue cultivator, a member of the Yun family disguised as a cultivator, behind him:

"Senior Li, the patriarch has sent a letter saying that we can proceed now."

"understood."

The burly man revealed a hint of impatience. He wouldn't have bothered getting involved in this mess if Yun Ruifeng hadn't possessed something he needed.

He had heard that the cultivators the Zhang family sent to resist the beast tide suffered almost no losses, and even the two Foundation Establishment cultivators returned unharmed.

The Yun and Ming families each lost a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and almost all of their clan's Qi Refining members were wiped out. Shouldn't they be hiding in the mountains at this time?

Why go through all that crazy self-destruction?

In his view, both families would be wiped out sooner or later.

However, having taken the money, Li Heihu was tasked with eliminating the Li family's vassals and some of their businesses.

With their methods, they come and go without a trace, and the Zhang family couldn't find anything out.

They will only shift the blame onto the two companies.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he said coldly, "Gentlemen, can you break through Featherstone Mountain in half an hour?"

"Half an hour? Boss, aren't you underestimating us? A mere first-tier Qi Refining family, the great formation will be broken in a quarter of an hour, won't it?"

"Yeah yeah!"

These words caused the two Foundation Establishment cultivators and numerous independent cultivators behind him to burst into laughter.

Li Heihu didn't say much. He didn't need to lift a finger for this level of plunder. He just silently watched as everyone fled towards Feather Stone Mountain.

......

At the summit of Yushi Mountain.

Zhang Lingyu and Du Yunpeng discussed the specific process of destroying the two families. Sometimes, a casual remark could send chills down the spine of the Du family patriarch.

He still looks like a teenager, but he does things efficiently and decisively.

"This person is even more terrifying than Zhang Xingyao."

Du Yunpeng felt a lingering fear. He glanced at the old man opposite him. This Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator had barely said a word throughout the entire process, clearly indicating that he had already relinquished his power.

He intended to send the female cultivators of his family up the mountain to serve Zhang Lingyu as concubines, but just as he was wondering how to bring it up, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the distance.

Then the entire protective formation of Featherstone Mountain was activated, but it seemed unable to withstand the external attacks and began to emit mournful cries.

"What happened? Could it be that the Yun family has attacked?"

Du Yunpeng was terrified and jumped up from his seat. At that moment, a cultivator from the Du family flew down from the foot of the mountain, crying out:

"My lords, clan leader, someone is attacking us. There are more than twenty cultivators outside, and the leaders seem to be two Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"They're here."

Zhang Lingyu's heart stirred slightly, and then she used her divine sense to thoroughly explore the entire Feather Stone Mountain. She discovered that Li Heihu's group consisted of two early Foundation Establishment cultivators, ten late Qi Refining cultivators, and twenty mid-Qi Refining cultivators.

"No wonder they say they come and go without a trace; how can such efficiency not inspire fear?"

He then stood up and laughed:

"Patriarch Du, don't forget that the First Elder and I are still here. Gather the cultivators of your clan and come with me to meet the enemy."

"Oh right, how could I have forgotten about the two of you?"

Du Yunpeng was overjoyed. Fortunately, there were two Foundation Establishment cultivators here today, otherwise the Du family would have been wiped out. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your trouble, sir."

"It was just a small favor."

"I didn't expect this family to be so wealthy, they actually use a second-tier high-grade array."

"As long as it's not third-tier, whether it's high-grade or top-grade, we'll break it with a single move!"

Another person reminded, "Let's make a move, or the boss will get upset if we keep dragging this out."

"Okay!"

Just as the two were about to come out themselves, they discovered that more than a dozen streaks of light had actually flown out of the formation, which they found quite unbelievable.

A mere Qi-refining family dares to go into battle? Isn't that courting death?

But the next second, their smiles vanished. As soon as the old man and the young man at the head of the group revealed themselves, they felt a chill run down their spines.

Foundation Establishment cultivator.

There are still two, one of whom is at the peak of Foundation Establishment!

"Oh no, run!"

The two screamed immediately, realizing who the people in front of them were as soon as they met. The older one must be Zhang Yuanhua from the Zhang family, and the young-looking one must be Zhang Lingyu.

"Oh? Trying to run away?"

In Zhang Lingyu's view, the two of them used some kind of secret technique and fled into the distance without looking back, completely disregarding the life or death of the Qi Refining cultivator they brought back.

He simply turned to look at Zhang Yuanhua and smiled:

"Elder, leave these two to me. You and the Du family should control these Qi Refining cultivators. It's best not to kill them; you might be able to extract some information from them."

There must be cultivators arranged by the Yun and Ming families involved; this is a rare piece of leverage.

"Understood."

The old man did not refuse. With Zhang Lingyu's current abilities, killing two Foundation Establishment cultivators was as easy as killing a chicken. With a wave of his hand, a surge of magical power emanated from him.

The force immediately overwhelmed the Qi-refining bandits who were trying to escape, knocking them to the ground.

At this moment, Du Yunpeng and the other cultivators swarmed forward and tied them up one after another.

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators who had long since fled breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhang Lingyu and his companion hadn't pursued them. One of them cursed under his breath:

"What's going on? How did these two end up here?"

"Could it be that the Yun family tipped us off and, in league with the Zhang family, intends to wipe us out?"

Following the author's favorite writing style, let's embark on an adventure in "Family Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily" on Cola Novels.

"impossible."

Another person shook their head and said:

"The Zhang family is their mortal enemy. We only operate in the Yanxing County area and have not committed any offenses against their Yingchuan County. There is no reason for them to unite and annihilate us."

"I think it was just a coincidence."

"Then... what about those brothers?"

Those people were all raised by them, and now they're dying in vain. It's such a pity.

"What can we do? Zhang Yuanhua is a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. Do you think you can take him away from him? And Zhang Lingyu, even with the boss, isn't qualified."

"As long as we're still here, we can recruit more people in the meantime."

That's true, but the magical artifacts and other items on those Qi-refining bandits were among the best in Qi refining. It would be such a waste to just throw them away like that.

My heart is bleeding.

While they were thinking, the two suddenly turned around and saw a young man rapidly approaching on a beam of light, smiling as he said:

"Fellow Daoists, aren't you here as guests of Featherstone Mountain?"

"Why are you leaving again? I haven't even fulfilled my duty as host."

"Zhang Lingyu, how come you're so fast!"

One of them was terrified. Both of them had used secret techniques to escape, and their speed was comparable to that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. They never expected that in such a short time, they would be caught up by a mere kid who had only recently advanced to Foundation Establishment.

"As expected of the next patriarch of the Zhang family, he has some ability."

The other person noticed that Zhang Yuanhua, who was some distance away, didn't seem to have followed. Hoping for the best, they sent a message:

"Brother Lin, he caught up by himself. The boss will be here soon. If we can hold him off for a bit, we should be able to take care of him."

Upon seeing the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, they immediately activated their jade talismans to notify Li Heihu.

Judging by the time, it should be here soon.

As the next patriarch of the Zhang family, Zhang Lingyu must possess many valuable items.

As a bandit cultivator, his job is to live a life of constant danger and risk.

Driven by greed, they immediately decided to pull off another big heist. Although they were only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, they had killed Foundation Establishment cultivators before, so holding off the other side wouldn't be a problem.

By the time Li Heihu arrived, the situation had already been settled.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

The bandit surnamed Lin gritted his teeth, pulled a blood-red scroll from his sleeve, and suddenly turned around to open it.

The painting depicted a scene of purgatory, radiating intense blood-red light.

This picture is a low-grade Foundation Establishment magic artifact, one of the few magic artifacts that can affect the mind. Once a cultivator makes eye contact with it, they will feel a splitting headache and their entire body's magic power will be difficult to control.

Qi Refining cultivators may even die suddenly.

"Oh, it's quite a nice magical artifact."

Zhang Lingyu was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that just looking at this magical artifact would make him dizzy. Fortunately, he had cultivated a soul cultivation technique, and he easily resolved the issue by simply using a calming spell.

Seeing that the other party did not react, the bandit surnamed Lin's face darkened, and he shouted:

"Wangui Chaozong!"

A small banner suddenly appeared beside him, with black mist surging from it, from which numerous ghostly creatures emerged, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on the boy.

Soul Refining Flag!

Among the many ghosts, one was in the form of a cultivator, the most ruthless of all. It was the main soul within the banner, having reached the Foundation Establishment stage in life. It was an enemy of the bandit cultivator surnamed Lin, and after being killed, its soul was refined into the banner.

"Great, that's wonderful!"

Zhang Lingyu was not angry but pleased. His Soul Refining Banner was still a high-grade Qi Refining Banner. After achieving Foundation Establishment, he had always wanted to upgrade it, but he was troubled by not having the corresponding spiritual materials.

Now that he's delivered himself to his doorstep, he'll accept it without hesitation!

Seeing the numerous ghostly creatures approaching menacingly, Zhang Lingyu immediately released the Soul-Devouring Bees and two Foundation Establishment puppets, letting the spirit insects follow one of the Foundation Establishment puppets to deal with them.

At the same time, an order was issued forbidding the consumption of the main soul.

After all, that thing is the most valuable item in the Soul Refining Banner.

Although the Soul-Devouring Bees were reluctant, they had no choice but to obey their master's orders.

"Damn, this is a Foundation Establishment puppet!?"

Puppets are valuable items; a single Foundation Establishment puppet is worth twenty to thirty thousand spirit stones, and there are actually two of them.

The Lin-surnamed bandit cultivator opposite him was dumbfounded. Watching the Foundation Establishment puppet suppress his nurtured main soul, his heart was bleeding.

They were initially quite pleased with themselves for having a 2v1 advantage, but now the situation has completely turned around.

What terrified him even more was the swarm of spirit-devouring bees, which flew densely all over the sky. Any ghost that was touched was eaten before it could even scream.

"Old Shi, we can't hold back anymore, or we'll be dead before the boss even arrives!"

The bandit leader surnamed Lin urged hurriedly, saying, "I'll deal with him first, you go get the other puppet and take care of it."

"Understood, be careful."

The bandit surnamed Shi responded and first threw out several third-tier talismans. Seeing the puppet fly out of the thick smoke almost unharmed, he felt his scalp tingle and rushed forward with a blood-red spear in his hand.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was deafening. Because the puppet was made of hard material, the attack only produced a few sparks and caused no damage. On the contrary, he was shaken so badly that his hand was sore.

The puppet felt no pain and would only unconditionally obey Zhang Lingyu's orders. Seeing an excellent opportunity, it gripped the spear tip with its left hand to prevent it from being pulled out, and the next second it slammed its right fist into the spear.

The bandit surnamed Shi frantically warned him through his spiritual platform that this attack could severely injure him, so he gritted his teeth, let go, and retreated rapidly, while throwing out several talismans to disrupt the attack.

A hint of pain flashed in his eyes, and a scarlet light suddenly shot out from his sleeve. Then he bit his tongue hard and spat out a mouthful of blood.

As a bandit cultivator, who doesn't have a few handy magical artifacts?

His weapon was called the Blood-Transforming and Marrow-Penetrating Needle, which had extremely strong penetrating power. It was originally designed to deal with cultivators with strong physical bodies. He once used it to penetrate the protective measures of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, which gave Li Heihu the opportunity to kill him.

"I'll see just how hard your shell is!"

With the enhancement of the essence blood, this thing was extremely fast, and it stabbed fiercely at the place where the puppet stored the spirit stones.

Just as it was about to hit, a small black shield flew in from a distance and barely managed to block the attack.

However, the Blood-Dissolving and Marrow-Penetrating Needles were not entirely ineffective, causing the spiritual light on the shield to dissipate and become shaky. Fortunately, the puppet managed to grab it in time.

"What?"

The bandit surnamed Shi was secretly alarmed. He quickly retrieved the magic weapon and examined it. Fortunately, it was not seriously damaged, which put his mind at ease. The next moment, he looked at the owner of the shield.

Zhang Lingyu.

The young man fought the bandit surnamed Lin to a standstill, with the two flying swords beside him constantly surging with sword energy, making his opponent suffer greatly.

Even so, he still had a puppet that could distract him from saving himself.

"How do we fight this?"

The bandit surnamed Shi sighed inwardly. He and his companion hadn't gained the upper hand against the enemy; instead, they were being driven to the brink of defeat. He cursed inwardly.

"Why isn't Li Heihu here yet!"

While he was distracted, the puppet opposite him was already close enough to punch him in the chest.
