Buzz!

The panel trembles.

A large amount of yellow light surges, followed by lines of text appearing:

[Ghost Lame's assassination failed. Zhang Huanzhi, who originally planned to retreat to Niushou Mountain for recuperation, realized that you would soon monopolize Qingcheng Mountain's resources, significantly increasing your strength. The feud between the Fu Family and the Zhang Family had become irreconcilable. Zhang Huanzhi thought carefully and decided that a preemptive strike was the best approach. He plans to join forces with the Lei, Wu, and Liuu Families, and attack your Luofeng Mountain during your child's full moon banquet, to wipe out the Fu Family clan completely. He instructed Honored Guest Elder Chen Diling to guard the mountain gate and starts at midnight from the back mountain trail, intending to persuade the Lei Family to send troops.]

"Stop the exchange!"

Looking at the intelligence above.

Fu Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine. He originally planned to seize Qingcheng Mountain's resources and later deal with Zhang Family, but unexpectedly Zhang Huanzhi continued with successive attacks.

The Zhang Family repeatedly provoked his limits, and if he let them continue to stir trouble, there might be repercussions.

If they seek their own demise, then he won't be blamed for being ruthless.

As long as tonight he's able to obtain the Array Token from Zhang Huanzhi, he can launch a decisive attack on Niushou Mountain, exterminating the Zhang Family cultivators.

Henceforth.

No more Zhang Family in Niushou Mountain among the noble families.

Crucially.

Niushou Mountain's Tier One High-Grade Spirit Vein and the ninety acres of Spirit Field in the mountain would completely belong to the Fu Family. With this Spirit Mountain, the newly added Qi Cultivation clan members after the Immortal Ascension Assembly would have a place to cultivate, solving a pressing dilemma.

Everything hinges on the success of tonight's strike!

Fu Changsheng took a deep breath.

Forcing himself to calm down from pleasant daydreams.

He swiftly went through the list of available fighters in his family.

His elder brother is heavily injured. Meizhen just gave birth, and if Runzhi and his third brother leave now, it might arouse suspicion from the Zhang Family, meaning the only ones available to fight are himself, Molan, and his fourth sister.

The Zhang Family has a Guest Elder, Chen Diling, at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, and Zhang Huanzhi is at the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation. Additionally, there are nineteen clan members: ten at the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation and nine at the Early Stage of Qi Cultivation.

The Zhang Family first suffered from the Pork Spirit Beast disaster, wiping out in Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, with less than a tenth of their high-tier combat power remaining.

On his side, he not only has a Tier One Peak puppet but also a Tier One Peak Little Cyan Snake, Ghost Servant Qiuchan, and a Tier One Peak Bee Queen joining the battle.

More than enough to face the current Zhang Family.

Fu Changsheng's mind raced quickly, and he soon came up with a plan. He wore the Invisibility Cloak, first found Molan, then notified his fourth sister, secretly bringing them to his secret chamber before laying out his plan to attack the Zhang Family tonight.

Fourth sister Fu Changli, upon hearing, felt her heartbeat accelerate.

The expedition to Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.

After entering, she was trapped in the Supreme Profound Sect relic.

So strictly speaking, she doesn't have much battle experience.

Therefore.

Despite being excited, she felt somewhat uneasy.

On the contrary, Fu Molan appeared calm, and after Fu Changsheng finished speaking, she even supplemented:

"The Zhang Family was recently attacked by the Pork Spirit Beast, so they must be more cautious with their Mountain Protection Array. If I'm not mistaken, it's guarded by the highest cultivation Elder Chen Diling."

"Once we enter the mountain gate, if we fail to eliminate Chen Diling before he discovers us, we will face imminent disaster."

The Zhang Family's Mountain Protection Array is a Tier Two Middle-Grade Four Symbols Array.

Once the array is fully activated.

It's capable of manifesting a Tier Two Flying Elephant to confront the enemy.

Given the strength of the three of them against a Tier Two Demon Beast, they wouldn't stand much chance in a single encounter.

"Additionally, as I understand, Zhang Family cultivators keep a Life Soul Plate in their ancestral hall's secret chamber. With Zhang Huanzhi's death, Zhang Family members will immediately notice, so he can only be taken alive."

Zhang Huanzhi is at the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation.

Capturing him alive won't be easy.

Fu Changsheng didn't expect Molan to think so swiftly, and immediately pointed out the critical issue:

"Molan, do you have a strategy?"

Fu Molan pondered for a while.

She spoke:

"While challenging the Supreme Profound Sect relic, I did master a Soul Control Technique. If we're able to capture Zhang Huanzhi alive, executing this technique can allow us to control him, leading us into the Zhang Family territory, with him guiding us to the center of the Mountain Protection Array, giving us seventy percent success chance."

In Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.

Fu Molan used this technique to awaken the Yu Family members trapped in the illusion realm.

Fu Changsheng said:

"Leave capturing Zhang Huanzhi alive to me, then....."

Their conversation progressively quieted.

.....

Niushou Mountain.

Zhang Huanzhi is all set, and before going out, he personally visited the central hub of the Mountain Protection Array.

Honored Guest Elder Chen Diling, who was meditating cross-legged with closed eyes, suddenly opened his eyes upon hearing footsteps. After arriving at Zhang Family, Chen Diling acted as instructed by Zhang Yuanyuan, focusing only on guarding the Mountain Protection Array without ever leaving the Zhang Family, unknowingly of Zhang Huanzhi's private attempts to assassinate Fu Changsheng.

Upon Zhang Huanzhi's sudden order for a clan-wide lockdown.

He believed Zhang Huanzhi had heard Zhang Yuanyuan's advice and internally relaxed.

As long as Zhang Huanzhi doesn't make trouble.

He could complete his three-year tenure guarding Niushou Mountain and leave.

Chen Diling's attitude warmed considerably:

"Clan Leader Zhang, if there's something necessary, you can just have someone notify me. No need for you to personally come."

However.

Upon hearing Zhang Huanzhi was about to go out.

He immediately became anxious:

"Clan Leader Zhang, what's so urgent that you need to go out at this hour?"

Yet Zhang Huanzhi remained silent.

He just mentioned he might be away for a while, reminding Chen Diling to strictly guard the array post his departure, ending with a mysterious smile at Chen Diling:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I know you don't want to stay in the small place of Niushou Mountain. Rest assured, in a month, Zhang shall fulfill your desire to return to the Shangguan Family."

With the forces of four families besieging the Fu Family.

Those few young Fu Family members would undoubtedly perish!

Moreover.

This time with the Lei Family being deprived of Qingcheng Mountain resources, they are certainly willing to send troops. The Liuu Family was previously publicly humiliated by the Fu Family, so they must want to kill the Fu Family brat in revenge too.

Most importantly.

Once the young Fu Family members die.

The Lei and Wu Families would regain Qingcheng Mountain resources, while his Zhang Family and Liuu Family wouldn't be greedy, only wanting Luofeng Mountain's Spirit Mountain.

Whether it's from family interests or personal grievances, he can't think of any reason for the Liuu, Lei, or Wu Families to refuse him, so much so that he couldn't help giving himself applause for this plan:

"The Fu Family brats thought winning the Noble Family Grand Competition was a great joy, unknowingly clutching onto the Life-taking Talisman from offending the Lei and Wu Families."

Zhang Huanzhi in good spirits.

He executed a Daoist Technique into the Passage Array Plate.

Ripples appeared in the light curtain of the back mountain, Zhang Huanzhi's body flickered, disappearing through the gap.

After Zhang Huanzhi left.

Chen Diling thought over Zhang Huanzhi's final enigmatic words, unable to shake a feeling of unease, contemplating whether reporting to the officials was necessary.
