Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 582 - 391: To Save or Not to Save?

Chapter 582 -391: To Save or Not to Save?

“The Demon Clan is here!”

Outside Bright City, a massive horde of the Demon Clan suddenly appeared, as if they had agreed upon the timing.

They rushed toward the Spirit Field.

These days, it was harvest time!

A large number of cultivators and martial artists were harvesting in the Spirit Field below.

Normally, this task was undertaken by the Apprentice Disciples of the Sect who were in the Fetal Breathing Stage, but recently everyone was too bored, unable to leave the city daily.

Going out to harvest the Spirit Field had become an activity many were eager to do.

Just to relax.

Yang Fuqing was picking Spirit Fruit with Yang Qiangzheng and Yang Qiangjing, teaching them some knowledge about Spirit Plants.

Unexpectedly… the Demon Clan, whose movements had always been elusive, suddenly arrived!

“Sect Leader Fuqing! Be careful!”

A disciple of the Beast Taming Sect shouted from the city walls!

“Hm?”

Yang Fuqing looked at the Demon Clan that suddenly appeared before her, furrowing her brows, her hand supporting a pagoda.

“Xiong Er!”

A flash of light passed through the pagoda.

Roar!!!

A gigantic Heavenly Violent Bear leaped out and directly positioned itself in front of Yang Fuqing.

“Master, you go first, I’ll cover the rear!”

Xiong Er brandished his bear claws and charged out!

A high-rank Golden Core First Stage Demon Beast, tough-skinned and strong with immense impact force.

It smashed a fist into the earth, and a dark yellow light burst from the ground.

Boom!!!

The earth opened up a trench, instantly knocking a group of Foundation Establishment Stage little demons haphazard, sprawling them on the ground.

“Mao Mao!”

Yang Fuqing summoned her Long-haired Parrot again.

Woo~~~

“Here they come, here they come! What got into these demons! Why do they have to come when people are picking fruits.”

The Long-haired Parrot carried Yang Fuqing and Yang Qiangzheng and Yang Qiangjing up into the sky, distancing them from the main force of the Demon Clan.

Throughout this phase, Yang Fuqing wasn’t panicking at all.

Because… she didn’t see any Golden Core Stage demons.

“Weird, they are all just small demons at the Foundation Establishment Stage and Qi Refinement Stage, why are they attacking us?”

The Demon Clan is also a wise race, small demons although weak, are not stupid, on the contrary… most of the time they are extremely clever.

How could they do such a meaningless thing?

Yang Fuqing found it strange, but she vaguely knew she shouldn’t underestimate it.

Because…

“The Demon Clan got this close, and we just noticed, there must be some expert at Concealment among the demons concealing their aura.”

Even outside the city, Yang Fuqing, a Golden Core cultivator, with her Divine Sense scanning, wouldn’t have been completely oblivious to demon aura appearing within a hundred miles.

“Who is it…”

While Yang Fuqing was looking for the powerful demon helping to conceal the presence of the other demons, Yang Qiangzheng looked down at the humans and small demons below, already embroiled in a bloody battle.

“So pitiful…”

Tears started streaming down his cheeks from heartbreak.

“Mom… I’m suddenly hungry.”

Yang Qiangjing rolled her eyes, “Bro, that’s not hunger, that’s greed.”

“Hehe~ that’s my talent…”

Hearing ‘talent’ from her son, Yang Fuqing suddenly looked at Yang Qiangzheng with a strange expression.

“Son… it couldn’t be your talent that attracted the Demon Clan, could it?”

As Yang Qiangzheng grew older, the misfortunes around him seemed to increase…

In the past, it was just about food getting stuck in his teeth or choking on water, now it had escalated to failed alchemy experiments and mutated Spirit Plants… If he grew any more, probably no one could stay near him.

Yang Fuqing took the opportunity while he was still young and could handle it to spend more time with Yang Qiangzheng.

To avoid ending up like Sect Ancestor Lei Zhen, whom people were afraid to approach.

“Ah? Surely not…”

His lips puckered, and more tears flowed from the corner of his mouth.

“Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you know, how many pages of the book I gave you today have you read?”

Yang Qiangjing challenged her brother in a light duel.

The sudden large-scale appearance of the Demon Clan and the ensuing struggles with many human cultivators were highly unpredictable; some cultivators might not have even realized what was happening before their necks were slashed by demons.

Fortunately, the humans had been practicing the Demon Slaying Technique for some years now, and the powerful cultivators quickly organized themselves.

“All Foundation Establishment cultivators come here, let’s cast the ‘Demon Suppression Technique’ together! Form a line, block this bunch of mixed breeds!”

“Qi Refinement and Fetal Breathing, fall back! Stack up the ‘Qi Boosting Technique’ and ‘Demon Cleansing Technique’!”

“Damn it! Divinity Realm Martial Artists, follow me, it’s feeding time!”

The cultivators quickly mobilized their forces, and stood their ground against the demons.

Various techniques that enhanced human cultivators, as well as those specifically designed to counter demon energy, were deployed. The cultivators gained a boost in their cultivation, overwhelmingly suppressing the demons!

With this advantage, the cultivators and martial artists gained the upper hand.

It was also lucky that a large number of high-rank cultivators came out for a breath of fresh air today, otherwise, if it were just the Apprentice Disciples of the Fetal Breathing Stage… a single charge might have wiped them all out.

“You two head back to the city walls, I’m going to aid them.”

Yang Fuqing had the Long-haired Parrot take the two kids back up to the city walls, while she went to support the human cultivators.

Even though some cultivators died, they were all of low realm and had not reacted in time. Once realizing the scale of attack, the human cultivators stabilized and fought meticulously, no more died—instead, the demons were continuously slain by humans proficient in the Demon Slaying Technique.

The martial artists were overjoyed, this was a natural tonic! The robust bodies and rich Blood Qi of the demons were more nourishing for the martial artists than Immortal Pills!

And the Heavenly Violent Bear, Xiong Er, who Yang Fuqing had initially deployed to cover their retreat, had blasted a host of little demons and had also collected some decent demon blood, storing it in his fur.

“Grandpa, I gathered demon bloodlines for you, surely to boost your limit.”

The bloodlines of the demons are highly nourishing for demon beasts… Being naturally unintelligent and not even counted among the myriad races.

Upon gaining Spiritual Power in Spiritual Lands and slowly awakening their Spiritual Wisdom, they began their path of cultivation, but if left to their own devices, their future was extremely limited.

Historically, if demon beasts wished to attain enlightenment, they either relied on a partnership with the humans, binding their fates together, and once the master broke through, they could also advance.

Just like when Yang Fuqing broke through to the Golden Core, her contracted nine Demon Beasts advanced to the Golden Core simultaneously.

When one person achieves enlightenment, even their pets ascend to heaven.

Either that or obtaining noble bloodlines from the Demon Clan, thereby raising one’s own limits, purifying one’s blood impurities, and continuously transforming towards the Demon Clan.

Xiong Er employed the first method, but his grandfather, Old Xiong, required more Demon Clan bloodline to evolve, otherwise, he would simply die of old age…

Xiong Er fought while simultaneously collecting, very comfortably.

“Spirit Beasts, out!”

Yang Fuqing released the other seven Golden Core Spirit Beasts.

“Go, protect everyone, repel the Demon Clan.”

“Master, to kill or to capture?”

“Capture as many as you can, something about today… doesn’t feel right.”

Yang Fuqing always felt the Demon Clan’s attack this time was too absurd.

It was neither painful nor itchy.

At most, they killed some low-ranked cultivators who couldn’t react in time, but that hardly shook the foundation of Bright City.

To say they came for Spirit Food… was even more unlikely.

In the Devil Wind Forest, there were plenty of Spirit Fields previously cultivated by the Human Clan and numerous wild Demon Beasts and Spirit Fruits; this amount of Demon Clan… couldn’t possibly consume it all, even if they were stuffed to death.

Seeing the commotion here, many great cultivators of Bright City also flew over.

A blast of air exploded!

Yang Fujian flew across on his sword.

“One sword transforms into ten thousand swords!”

Behind him, a sword flew out, instantly slashing thousands of sword shadows in the air.

Dozens of lesser demons were beheaded with a single sword!

“Hmph! Those who offend the Human Clan, die!”

Yang Fujian, wielding his sword, joined the battlefield, where vegetation ceased to grow around him.

Yang Shi and Ding Zhen also rushed over, and he looked towards Yang Fuqing hanging in the air.

“What’s going on?”

“Dad, a great power of the Demon Clan has concealed their aura, allowing these lesser demons that haven’t reached the Golden Core to attack us… I suspect trickery.”

“There’s definitely trickery. The Demon Clan isn’t foolish, they surely have a motive…”

Yang Shi was very certain.

Ding Zhen looked around and didn’t see any trace of the Demon Clan.

“The hidden Golden Core Demon Clan… might be of a higher realm than us, it’s not safe to linger here, let’s take the people and head back to the city.”

Ding Zhen was more cautious.

“Indeed… let’s call everyone back to the city, no need to tangle with these lesser demons.”

The people, unaware of the Demon Clan’s intent, didn’t dare to underestimate them and chose the most cautious strategy.

“Danai Dynasty, all cultivators, back to the city!”

“Sky Dragon Army cover the rear!”

Yang Shi yelled loudly!

The city gates opened, and the neatly arranged Sky Dragon Army charged out. With their footsteps, blood qi surged continuously, and a golden dragon’s phantom slowly condensed in the sky, surveying everything around.

This army’s combat strength was also extraordinary; Yang Shi began cultivating it 50 years ago, spending a vast amount of funds, not only were all members above innate grandmasters, but many also reached the Divinity Realm of Martial Cultivators.

Blood bound as one, the Military Soul congealed.

Capable of contending with Golden Core cultivators!

Such an army covering the rear could protect the cultivators safely.

As the cultivators retreated, Yang Fuqing noticed something odd.

“The Demon Clan… they’re capturing our people, they took a lot of them.”

Some Demon Clan grabbed the Human Clan cultivators and instead of resorting to the usual gruesome methods, they knocked them out and dragged them away…

“Dad, I’ll go rescue…”

“Back to the city!”

Yang Shi directly stopped Yang Fuqing.

“Outside right now, it’s not under our control, rash actions are bound to be dangerous… perhaps the Demon Clan’s goal isn’t to capture some ordinary cultivators, but to capture… us.”

Yang Shi sternly said.

Ding Zhen, although watching those Demon Clan dragging people away, and his Divine Sense scanning without detecting anything unusual, knew… the Demon Clan suddenly appeared before them, what was hidden behind that… was uncertain.

At this time, Yang Genshuo also noticed what was happening here.

He glanced over and was instantly shocked.

“It’s them!”

In the back of the lesser demons, three Demon Clan members had concealed themselves, but… the floating character cards in the sky still allowed Yang Genshuo to see them.

It turned out to be the Flood Dragon Demon that was supposed to have been ‘blasted to death’ that day, along with two others affiliated with the Night Demon Palace!

“Didn’t they die from the blast?”

Believing that the explosive last time had resolved everything, Yang Genshuo had checked many nearby areas afterward and found no trace of these few Demon Clan members.

Unexpectedly… the Flood Dragon wasn’t dead!

“Only three… it seems the other three are dead, did the Flood Dragon come for revenge?”

Yang Genshuo immediately relayed the discovery to the Yang Family.

Yang Shi nodded, “Ancestor, I understand…”

“Good thing we didn’t rashly pursue them just now…”

Yang Fuqing also felt a slight chill, her Spirit Beasts had just been sent out, had she encountered danger alone… she would likely have been captured. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Upon hearing the information from the ancestor, Yang Fujian also didn’t run out but covered the retreat of the Human Clan cultivators.

The Golden Core Eighth Layer Flood Dragon… was not something they could contend with.

Merely surviving from that catastrophic explosion had already proven that all of them combined still lacked the strength to kill it.

The explosion that day must have also severely injured him, but he had recovered to full strength in just half a year.

“This Flood Dragon Demon… is very strong.”

It was on the same level as the Cat Soul Feather.

“It seems the Flood Dragon holds grudges, purposely setting a trap for Yang Shi and the others…”

“Once chased out, they would lose the protection of Bright City, unable to escape death.”

“Very vengeful.”

Usually, Yang Shi and the others were always inside the city, unable to find an opportunity, but choosing today… was somewhat clever.

“But I opened my Heavenly Eye.”
