Outside, while Su Yu was in closed-door cultivation.
At the Chen Family of Westwater City.
A few years ago, Chen Xu, the old patriarch of Chen Family died of old age, and Chen Yao inherited his position to become the new patriarch. Chen Chu, the former family head who failed in his attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, had stepped down from his position. His successor, Chen Jiang, now in his fifties, had reached the ninth level of Qi Refinement.
Over half a year ago, the Wen Family and Tian Family, two cultivator families nearby Westwater City, suddenly allied against the Chen Family and successively seized two of the Chen Family’s resource sites.
At the same time, the Chen Family’s cultivators suffered heavy losses.
Just when the Wen Family and the Tian Family were planning another attack on the Chen Family, Su Jingbang, the second ancestor of the Su Family, arrived with his people and personally persuaded them to retreat.
Within Westwater City.
Su Jingbang lightly furrowed his brows, looking at Chen Yao and Chen Jiang as he asked, “When did the Wen Family and the Tian Family become so powerful? They each have two Foundation Establishment cultivators, and from the looks of it, they don’t seem weak.”
Chen Yao took a deep breath, grimacing with worry as he replied, “I’m not certain, before they launched the attack, I thought that the Wen Family and Tian Family didn’t even have Foundation Establishment cultivators.”
“However, when I was about to make my move, they suddenly presented four Foundation Establishment cultivators.”
“Among them, two I am familiar with, they are from the original clans of the Wen Family and Tian Family.”
“Yet there were two other Foundation Establishment cultivators with extraordinary strength. Had I not been cautious, I would have fallen into their trap.”
How strange?
Su Jingbang reflected for a moment, then said, “I’ll have our family investigate what is really going on with those two families.”
The sudden emergence of these Foundation Establishment powerhouses who dared to take action against the Chen Family showed that the Wen Family and the Tian family were not putting the Su Family in their eyes.
Before leaving, Su Jingbang traded a second-level intermediate-grade, and two second-level lower-grade lunar talismans to the Chen Family at the price of 2,400 lower-grade spirit stones.
This price was not cheap for the Chen Family.
However, upon receiving the three level-two lunar talismans, the Chen Family was overjoyed.
Who in the region of the Yunjian Sect did not know of the fame of the lunar talisman? The Yunjian Sect disciples who went out to practice cultivation all carried lunar talismans for protection.
Facing the lunar talisman, ordinary people would find it very difficult to deal with it.
Unless they could predict it in advance and evade it, or use brute force to break it open.
After leaving three talismans for the Chen Family, Su Jingbang and his group departed and returned to Danshan.
When he said he wanted to investigate the situation of the Wen Family and the Tian Family, he was not just saying it casually. He was very serious about it.
Because apart from the Wen Family and the Tian Family recently attacking the Chen Family, the region of the Yunjian Sect had recently been in turmoil.
Every cultivator family seemed restless, the conflicts and disputes between them increasing.
This was even happening beyond the region of the Yunjian Sect.
According to the news from various markets of the Great Moon Prefecture, in recent years, sales of elixirs, talismans, formations and so on had increased.
The reason was that some cultivator families were sparking wars and fighting for resources.
Although this matter hasn’t affected the Su Family yet, and even led to a surge in sales of elixirs from the Su Family’s Dange, earning at least 50% more over the past year.
However, the Su Family has noticed the abnormality behind this upheaval.
But, looking at the people the Su Family had contacted from the Wen Family and the Tian Family earlier, there was nothing abnormal.
Hence, the appearance of Su Jingbang was mainly to urge the people of Wen Family and the Tian Family to retreat.
Deep into the night.
Several figures suddenly appeared outside Westwater City, and by the time the Chen Family reacted, they had already broken the formation and stormed into Westwater City. The Chen Family suffered devastating casualties in an instant.
However, just when the group thought they had the upper hand and had the Chen Family in their grasp, the old patriarch Chen Yao, family head Chen Jiang, and others broke out.
Several talismans suddenly lit up the night sky, and the leading Foundation Establishment powerhouses were restrained in mid-air, unable to move.
“Boom!”
Chen Yao, the old patriarch of the Chen Family, and a second-level lower-grade puppet beast suddenly attacked. Several spells severely wounded several people in an instant, and that second-level lower-grade puppet beast took advantage of the situation to kill up, its claws piercing through the chest of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the first level.
“Bang! Pfft!” With another claw, it exploded the head of a cultivator at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
“Kill!” The resounding voice of Chen Yao, laden with murderous intent, echoed through Westwater City as all of the Chen Family’s cultivators bravely launched their counterattack.
At the end of this battle, the Chen Family, thanks to utilizing the second-level lunar talismans, successfully counterattacked.
They killed two Foundation Establishment cultivators and captured two alive.
The remaining cultivators from the Wen Family and the Tian Family who broke into Westwater City suffered nearly half of the casualties, and the rest surrendered.
However, several traitors were found among the Chen Family during this incident. Two of them were recent additions to the Chen Family, and they had destroyed the great formation of Westwater City, allowing the Wen Family and Tian Family to break into the city.
Once these two were captured by Chen Yao, they unexpectedly chose to die by their own hands without a moment’s hesitation.
They did not utter a single word! They left nothing!
Upon seeing these two treacherous families die, Chen Yao, Chen Jiang, and other high-level members of the Chen Family changed their expressions. When they looked at the two Foundation Establishment cultivators they had captured alive, they found that they had also died at some point.
This eerie scene sent chills down the spines of Chen Yao, Chen Jiang and the rest of the Chen family.
Although they managed to protect their family with the talismans from the Su Family this time, this incident gave them all a scare.
These were two Foundation Establishment cultivators. They had not even dealt the fatal blow, so why did they commit suicide?
