The tragic loss of his great-grandson.

Elder Zhang was furious beyond words!

The mana within his dantian surged out, and the divine staff in his hand swung fiercely.

Golden light surged forth, and Three-legged Fire Crows assembled, each possessing Tier One Middle Stage power. In an instant, they flapped their wings and with a roaring sound, fierce flames descended, turning the entire forest into a sea of fire.

And Fu Changsheng was at the center of this fiery origin.

Everything happened too quickly.

No one expected it.

That Elder Zhang had activated the Earth Escape Talisman to return to Kuisang Forest.

"Patriarch!"

In the air.

Fu Molan on the flying ship saw this scene and cried out in shock!

If something happened to Fu Changsheng, she, responsible for keeping watch, would be a criminal through the ages.

Fu Molan hurriedly steered the flying ship to descend toward the forest.

Just when Elder Zhang thought Fu Changsheng had perished in the sea of flames.

There it was.

Amidst the sea of fire.

Seven-colored treasure light burst forth.

Amidst the fiery glow.

Fu Changsheng wielded the Seven Treasures Umbrella, leapt high, and landed with great speed on the just-arrived flying ship.

"Molan, go!"

"Dream on if you think you can escape!"

Elder Zhang did not expect Fu Changsheng to avoid the sea of flames.

But the hatred of a slain grandson was irreconcilable.

Now with old hatred and new grievances flooding his heart, how could he let Fu Changsheng leave unharmed? He immediately activated the divine staff.

The Three-legged Fire Crows in the sky quickly gathered, exploding with a boom, then, with a flash of golden light, they reassembled into a ten-zhang high Three-legged Fire Crow.

The aura emanating from it.

Had unexpectedly reached quasi-Second-Tier strength.

"Roar!"

At this moment.

The returning Celestial Ghost Monkeys saw their lair burning.

Pounding their chests, their bodies grew taller, transforming into giant apes, quickly charging at Elder Zhang.

The Tier One Peak Celestial Ghost Monkey elevated to quasi-Second-Tier in strength.

A flash of unwillingness appeared in Elder Zhang's eyes.

He could only wield the divine staff.

Allowing the heavenly Three-legged Fire Crows to turn and engage in combat with the Celestial Ghost Monkeys.

A flash of white light from the flying ship in the air.

The figure vanished instantly.

In the blink of an eye, it was nowhere to be seen:

"Fu Changsheng, wait for me, even if I have to search every corner of heaven and earth, I will grind your bones to dust!"

In Kuisang Forest.

Elder Zhang's furious roar pierced the clouds.

Aboard the flying ship, Fu Changsheng tapped the Seven Treasures Umbrella, restraining its seven-colored treasure light, and the umbrella twirled before falling into his arms.

At the same time.

His eyes narrowed slightly:

"It seems I must find a way to kill Elder Zhang in Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss."

Should he escape.

Who knows what kind of mad revenge a mindless person might unleash upon the Fu Family.

His mind flashed to the message Sung by Shangguan Yui before entering Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.

More than half of the three-month period had passed.

Soon it would be the real hunt time that Shangguan Yui mentioned.

Initially.

He intended to follow Shangguan Hongyu's instructions and find a place to hide until the vortex exit appeared, but now the plan had to change.

To kill Elder Zhang.

Even if he could use the Tier One Peak puppet, it was impossible to resist the power of the divine staff.

Especially after witnessing the power of Elder Zhang's divine staff, he felt they had no chance.

To deal with Elder Zhang, he could only resort to strategy.

If he could use the opponent's hatred against him and lead him into a secretly prepared array, the odds would increase.

However, neither he nor his siblings were skilled in the Path of Array:

"It seems we need to find an Array Master to team up with!"

And this Array Master had better be on the opposing side of the Zhang Family.

Fu Changsheng immediately said:

"Molan, stop for a moment."

Returning to the ruined palace was of no use now.

Fu Changsheng's gaze fell upon the panel.

He had thirty-four clan contribution points left, enough to trade for seventeen pieces of intelligence. If he could find valuable information, the pending hunting battle would have better odds.

The thought immediately stirred:

"Trade for intelligence."

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A surge of yellow light.

Followed by.

Lines of text emerged:

[1: After escaping from Kuisang Forest, Elder Zhang contacted the Qiuo Family from Pingshan County. The Qiuo Family has been intermarried with the Zhang Family for generations, the two families quickly agreed to team up. Elder Zhang even promised immense benefits to the Qiuo Family, determined to kill you in Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss at any cost]

[2: Ten days later, your Ghost Servant Qiuchan's Autumn Cicada Soul Vortex Technique will be cultivated to Entry Realm]

[3: Seven days later, at the Seven Miles Garden in the south, members of the Yu Family from Pingshan County endeavoring to harvest the Qu Yuan Fruit were unfortunately caught in the Red-Eyed Ghost Fox Illusion Realm, incurring severe losses. Array Master Yu Qingru tragically perished in this battle]

"Stop trading!"

Seeing the last piece of intelligence.

His eyes lit up.

If he remembered correctly.

The Kuisang Forest map in Zhang Huantian's hands was obtained by killing Yu Qingrui from Pingshan County.

The Yu Family of Pingshan County and the Qiuo Family are sworn enemies.

While the Zhang Family and the Qiuo Family are intermarried noble families.

In a way.

The Fu Family and Yu Family were on the same side.

However.

The nature of the Yu Family was unknown.

If after killing Elder Zhang, the Yu Family resorted to underhanded tactics for the Soul Crystals against the Fu Family, it would be a wasted effort.

After all.

To noble families, Soul Crystals.

Mean merit points from the Court.

They are the primary condition to ascend to a Ninth-Grade Noble Family.

Fu Changsheng glanced at the intelligence panel.

The clan contribution points were still twenty-eight.

In his plan, finding a Loose Cultivator Array Master to team up with was the best strategy because Loose Cultivators in Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss sold the gained Soul Crystals at high prices to noble families like theirs.

In other words.

If he provided Loose Cultivators with enough Spirit Stones.

They would have no conflict of interest.

The Yu Family was a backup option.

Fu Changsheng decisively said:

"Continue trading for intelligence."

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

Another surge of yellow light.

Followed by.

Lines of text emerged:

[4: Your elder brother Fu Changren has awakened from a coma and cannot accept the fact that he has become a mere mortal. He briefly considered suicide but fortunately was stopped in time by your younger sister Fu Changli, who informed him you were fiercely fighting for the clan, reviving Fu Changren's spirit and temporarily dispelling his suicidal thoughts]

[5: Three hundred zhàng southwest of you, in a Loose Cultivator group of five, four members have fallen into an Array set by their teammate, Array Master Cui Weifeng. Cui Weifeng unhesitatingly slew all of his companions to gain more Spirit Stones]

[6: In his youth, your grandfather, while training outside, and the then daughter of the Pingshan County Clan Leader, Yu Peipei, developed feelings for each other. The two families were initially planning a marriage alliance, but Yu Peipei's brother died at the hands of the Qiuo Family, forcing Yu Peipei, a leader of the clan, to assist her young brother in taking over as Patriarch, thus missing their chance at love. This Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss mission is led by Granny Yu, Yu Peipei herself]

"Stop trading!"

Reading these three pieces of intelligence.

His emotions fluctuated like a roller coaster.

He originally thought Loose Cultivators were more reliable but Loose Cultivator Cui Weifeng ruthlessly killed his teammates without a blink. Clearly, teaming up with Loose Cultivators was even less secure.
