Chapter 169 Get Up The Altar And Practice!
Chu's Manor had encountered such an incident, and Chen Xiu and others dared not stay any longer. They obediently followed Chu Shen's arrangements and went to Qunyu Palace to meet with Dantai Liyue and others.
Chu Shen did not give up on the manor he had worked so hard to build. He still arranged for some personnel to stay behind and recruit people for reconstruction.
After turning around, he went to Chongxue Collection and took away the injured Xiao Hongling, Wei Liangnu, and other scholar concubines, heading to Qunyu Palace.
In the following period of time, with "Dalezi" watching, he couldn't let these obvious targets continue to expose themselves.
He instructed Qian Bumore and other servants to take care of the Chu family's industry and discussed with Yang Taichu and Li Jinrong. When there were no more loose ends in the outside world, he returned to Qunyu Palace with a heart full of anger and revenge.
The first order was to guard the gates, and the entire family was not allowed to leave.
When facing inquiries from Shen Yingzi and others who came to the door, the explanation was that the family members were frightened and needed to recuperate. At the same time, their cultivation had just made a breakthrough and needed seclusion to stabilize.
In reality, he set up an undisturbed altar in a hidden chamber, preparing to perform a ritual.
【Seven Nailed Arrows, Fake Version】. When he formed a bond with Wei Liangnu, he received a set of treasures as a system reward. Later, when he formed a bond with Yang Taichu, he obtained another set.
This treasure consisted of a small bow made from mulberry branches and 980 peach branch arrows. It was a counterfeit of a hidden weapon treasure from the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom's mythology.
Although it was a counterfeit, compared to the genuine product, its power only slightly decreased. Placed in the Dongxuan Heaven, it was still capable of suppressing terrifying beings up to the Mahayana stage, as long as it didn't encounter a true immortal.
There is an invincible loophole in the cultivation world!
However, the usage is the same as the genuine product, which is quite troublesome. You need to prepare a straw man and two lamps, perform a special formation to worship for twenty-one days, and then use this set of treasures to shoot. Only then can you shoot the target's three souls and seven spirits in a different place, invisibly taking the target's life. If the enemy discovers it during this period, it will be useless.
Originally, Chu Shen thought that this treasure would only be useful when he reached a higher realm and encountered formidable opponents. But unexpectedly, it is now!
After extracting information about the suspected family from Yan Shu, he was already considering the revenge plan using this set of treasures.
He has chosen the ancestral elder of the suspected family as his target.
The person who launched this attack on the estate is difficult to determine, but the culprit cannot escape punishment. Instead of engaging in verbal disputes, I will directly attack the source that allows you to be so arrogant. I will destroy the protective umbrella of your family. After no one shelters you from the wind and rain, let's see how arrogant you can be!
Besides, your family is the ultimate beneficiary of your evil deeds. It is only right for them to bear the responsibility.
What? There might be a mistake and the wrong family might be targeted?
Then let it hit the wrong family.
Although the cultivation families in Langxuan Heavenly Palace are constantly scheming against each other and even in opposition, it is ultimately a superficial phenomenon. In essence, their fundamental interests are the same. Almost every family has done dirty deeds in secret. It's just that you make a move this year, and they make a move next year. There are very few who are truly innocent.
Even if the wrong family is targeted, it can only be said, "Good riddance." Chu doesn't have the problem of feeling guilty or not.
Taking Zang Long as an example, just because he has already died, does that mean that all the evil he did while alive and the huge inheritance he left for the Zang family can be completely ignored, allowing the Zang family to squander and enjoy his inheritance?
Or can the derived value generated by the Zang family using Zang Long's ill-gotten gains still be considered as the Zang family's labor income?
This logic doesn't hold up because the root of the Zang family's wealth and prosperity is based on wrongdoing, on plundering the opportunities and resources of others.
When it comes to the members of the Zang family specifically, there are certainly many who can be considered good people. However, their growth relies on the resources of the Zang family, and they still bear the inherent guilt.
This is the original sin.
If this time Chu made a mistake and accidentally harmed the Zang family, would it really be a sad thing?
No, it wouldn't, it wouldn't. Would there really be anyone sympathizing with such a family?
Especially since Chu Shen's wife and children were almost taken away, he would have no burden in his heart. If he made a mistake this time, he could just curse the correct target next time.
After all, he doesn't consider himself a purely good person.
Some debts ultimately need to be cleansed with blood.
In the palace, the candles around the altar flickered and became increasingly eerie and bright under the influence of mysterious power.
Xiao Family, one of the four major families that rose to prominence through their dedication to learning, is a prominent cultivation clan that has long occupied high positions in the Lingqi Peak.
To this day, Xiao Family has over three hundred formal disciples within the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, not including servants. If we only count those who have blood relations, the population reaches three thousand. In outer areas like Chongxueji, the family population exceeds fifty thousand, and this is not even considering the descendants who have stayed in the mortal realm to expand the family.
It can be considered a behemoth in terms of size.
All of this development has come about under the continuous suppression of the orthodox sects. There have long been grievances within the clan, feeling that the Langxuan Heavenly Palace has limited their development. Some even feel that Xiao Family would be sufficient to establish their own faction if they were to leave the Langxuan Heavenly Palace.
However, from the clan leader to the elders who serve as council members, they are all well aware that these individuals within the clan who speak recklessly are fools.
Relying on the Langxuan Heavenly Palace is the fundamental reason why Xiao Family has been able to develop to its current state. If they were to leave the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, Xiao Family would have to face numerous risks in the cultivation world. Would those who speak recklessly within the clan truly be willing to bear the consequences when facing these risks for the sake of the family?
Of course, they are also very displeased with the suppression policies of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, so they have been trying to undermine these rules.
Now there is a good opportunity. Xiao Family's Spiritual Ascension Patriarch's realm restrictions have recently loosened, and there is hope for him to advance to the Unity realm. Once successful, Lingqi Peak will have the third Unity realm cultivator, which also means that the aristocratic factions will have the third Unity realm cultivator. This will exert greater pressure on the Holy Lord, perhaps forcing him to change the suppression measures against the aristocratic factions, or at least relax some of the restrictions.
In order to ensure a smooth ascension for the Patriarch, Xiao Family has spared no effort in recent years, searching everywhere for heavenly treasures and earthly materials to provide what the Patriarch needs for his advancement.
A few days ago, they even used one of the family's trump cards, attempting to seize a peculiar dual cultivation opportunity from a disciple of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, in order to increase the chances of success for the Patriarch's ascension.
Unfortunately, this operation failed, causing many insiders to sigh with regret.
On this day, just when the Xiao Family thought they would pass the time as usual, the Patriarch's closed-door cultivation chamber unexpectedly opened, and a middle-aged woman walked out with a gloomy and uncertain expression.
