Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 68: Collapse of the War
There is no such thing as doing something without gain. This is Elder Tianyang's consistent principle.

As long as his own interests can be guaranteed, he doesn't care about the life or death of the Wu family.

However, the current Wu family may no longer be able to come up with more bargaining chips to get him to help.

Wu Canglang himself also understood this point. The consequence of losing the war would be the family's financial bankruptcy, with creditors from all walks of life coming to demand repayment, and even the foundation of Longhuan Island might not be preserved.

Of course, if the Ling family becomes ruthless in the future and launches a large-scale attack on Longhuan Island, it is possible that the history of the Wu family will end there.

After weighing the pros and cons painfully, he gritted his teeth and sent a message through his mind:

"If Fellow Daoist Tianyang is willing to help the Wu family again, then from now on, the Wu family will follow your lead and become your most loyal vassal force."

At this point, Wu Canglang no longer cared about the consequences of doing so and directly sold the future of the entire family to Elder Tianyang.

Elder Tianyang laughed and said, "This is no small matter for the Wu family. I'm afraid you can't make the decision alone? Have you asked for the opinions of those foundation building elders?"

Wu Canglang nodded: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, I will immediately convene a meeting of family elders to confirm this matter!"

Elder Tianyang frowned and thought for a moment, then reluctantly said, "Okay, as long as the Wu family completely becomes my vassal, I can consider helping you again."

Although it is only a force at the foundation-building level and is far away from Hanyue Sect, it is still useful in hand.

Moreover, after the demise of the Ling family, the foundation of this Chanxin Island will not fall into the hands of outsiders, but will become the property of Elder Tianyang.

However, at this moment, a faint voice sounded:

"Unfortunately, your Wu family will not have any chance of turning the tables, and Hanyue Sect cannot save you!"

"..."

Elder Tianyang's face changed drastically, light and shadows flashed all over his body, and seven or eight protective measures were all activated.

Before Wu Canglang could react, the camp's protective formation was torn apart by a tremendous force, and then hundreds of thunder and fire rain poured down.

"Enemy attack!"

An elder who had established his foundation roared and used his spiritual weapon shield to narrowly block a bolt of lightning that was heading towards him.

A disdainful sneer sounded, and a hazy and indistinct figure quietly emerged. The long sword in his hand swung out thousands of sword qi like water, and a hazy and dreamy light and shadow enveloped it.

Under the horrified eyes of the Foundation Establishment Elder, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the surface of his spiritual weapon shield, and then it shattered into pieces.

The several hastily activated defensive measures also failed to stop the opponent's fierce attack. After a breath, the head of this foundation-building elder flew high into the air, and blood spilled all over the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a newly promoted foundation-building cultivator nearby was unable to withstand the attack of the mysterious man and was beheaded in two or three rounds.

"Oh it's you?!"

Wu Canglang finally reacted and roared in shock and anger.

Didn't I hear that this female head of the family had been in seclusion for cultivation? How come she suddenly appeared?

The attacker was none other than the long-missing head of the family, Ling Qiyue.

More than a year has passed, and her aura... has reached the Golden Core Realm!
The expression of Elder Tianyang in the distance changed several times, and finally a ball of red light as big as a bucket emerged from his body, wrapped him up and disappeared on the spot.

He actually ran away!
He had to run away. In front of the real Jindan Zhenren, the fake elixir was a joke, not to mention that he was a fake.

"Wait a minute, Fairy Ling, let's talk it over..."

Wu Canglang shouted in despair.

If they had known that Ling Qiyue had already reached the Golden Core Realm, why would the Wu family still bother? They could just surrender.

"Nothing to say, let's get going!"

Ling Qiyue said coldly, and the blazing sword light rolled down, blocking all of Wu Canglang's escape routes.

The head of the Wu family gritted his teeth and sacrificed two high-grade spiritual weapons. At the cost of their direct destruction, he finally gained a glimmer of hope for himself. A hidden third-level talisman on his body was activated, and in an instant, silver clouds filled the sky, wrapped around his body, and fled at high speed, disappearing at the end of his sight.

Ling Qiyue frowned slightly and didn't want to chase after him. Instead, she turned her target to the remaining foundation-building cultivators in the field.

At this moment, inside the Ling family's protective formation, Ling Tianhe led seven foundation-building elders to rush out in time, followed by groups of late-stage Qi training cultivators, and immediately formed a crushing situation against the Wu family.

For a moment, bright thunder flashed frequently, high-temperature flames and extreme cold storms raged alternately, various spiritual weapons and magical instruments flew across the scene, and talismans with different effects were stimulated like mushrooms after rain.

Without the head of the family in charge, the cultivators from the Wu family were leaderless and were at a complete disadvantage in the blink of an eye. The screams of dying cultivators could be heard from time to time in the field.

After a while, seeing that the situation was hopeless, some monks from the Wu family began to desert the battlefield, which naturally led to the collapse of the war situation.

"…It's a pity that I can't go out and kill a few of them myself."

In the core hub area of ​​the formation, Ling Changqing looked at the scene in the magic projection mirror and said with some regret.

Tang Qiuyao beside him rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly:
"Why are you, a small cultivator at the seventh level of Qi training, joining in the fun? If you want to go to the battlefield, wait until you succeed in building your foundation in the future!"

In reality, Ling Changqing's importance is no less than that of three or five foundation-building cultivators, and may even be greater.

The current Ling family has sufficient combat power. Whether Ling Changqing takes action or not will not affect the overall situation at all. Tang Qiuyao will naturally not let him put himself in danger.

It didn't take long before the fighting outside finally came to an end.

Most of the monks of the Wu family were killed or injured, and many were taken prisoner. Only a few had a chance to escape.

"Okay, let's go out and greet the head of the family."

Tang Qiuyao smiled slightly, took Ling Changqing's arm and left the underground hall.

A quarter of an hour later.

In the meeting hall, in front of many foundation-building elders, Ling Qiyue's aura slowly receded until it fell out of the golden elixir realm and stabilized at the peak of the foundation-building level.

"Master, what are you doing..."

Ling Yulu looked confused, she had never seen such means in Ling Qiyue.

"It's just a special trump card that can temporarily improve your cultivation level, and the price is a bit exaggerated."

Ling Qiyue explained lightly.

Ling Changqing: “???”

Does this senior sister mean that she still hasn't broken through to the realm of Jindan Zhenren, but only possessed the power of Jindan level for a short time with the help of external forces?
But what kind of special method can have such incredible effects?
He instinctively felt that Ling Qiyue was hiding something, but it was not a good idea to ask too much in such a situation.

Tang Qiuyao's eyes flickered, and she changed the subject without leaving a trace:
"Master, now that the Wu family has been defeated, how should we deal with the subsequent matters?"

The elite forces of the Wu family were all killed in the battle, and they were no longer able to resist the counterattack of the Ling family, and even those affiliated forces were no exception.

Ling Qiyue smiled and said, "What else can we do? This is a rare opportunity, so of course we should take advantage of it to annex Longhuan Island. In the future, our Ling family will own an even larger territory!"

"The master is wise!"

The elders smiled happily and agreed one after another.

The total area of ​​Longhuan Island and its surrounding affiliated islands is much larger than that of Chanxin Island.

This does not include the territories of those vassal forces, which can all become the spoils of the Ling family this time.

A larger territory, more abundant resources, and a larger population are indispensable conditions for the development and growth of a force.

Especially without the Wu family, which is a major threat to them, the Ling family's development speed will surely increase further in the future.
