Honghualingtan is located in a huge basin. Some people regard this place as a huge city because its "city walls" are ancient trees several meters high. Others regard this place as a paradise.
In Honghualingtan, civil engineering structures are scattered around the pond, with peach trees everywhere. At a glance, one can see shadowy figures between the buildings.
When they were five miles away from Honghualingtan, Xue Kong put away the Heavenly Sword, dropped it to the ground, and walked to this paradise.
What caught the eye were the monks coming and going, but not many mortals were seen.
"Honghualingtan is the territory of the Feng family, and they are also a great family of cultivators. The ancestor of the Feng family was a Jindan cultivator, and their descendants will more or less inherit his spiritual roots. This is what a family of cultivators is."
"The number of cultivators in the Feng family far exceeds that of mortals. This is different from my Xue family." Xue Kong thought to himself as he walked on the streets of Honghualingtan, looking at the people coming and going around him.
Although spiritual roots are innate, they can also be inherited due to the relationship with parents.
Of course, this is not absolute, but the probability is very high. Otherwise, the descendants of a cultivation family would almost all be cultivators.
If Xue Kong wanted to establish a family of cultivators, he could just recruit tens of millions of women of marriageable age and marry them. With his immortal fetus and cursed body, he would be able to develop a large family of cultivators within a hundred years.
It’s just that Xue Kongzhi is not here.
"My cultivation has been stuck at the early stages of Core Formation for quite some time. I don't have any elixirs, only spirit stones. My cultivation is improving slowly, and the number of spirit stones is gradually running low."
"This Feng family is the best place for me to obtain spirit stones, but..."
"I remember that the owner of Yue Family Villa and the Blue Wolf Sect are also in the north. With their cultivation, they can occupy a spiritual vein. The Feng family has developed so rapidly, so they must have similar resources."
Xue Kong remained calm, but his thoughts were racing.
Seizing spirit stones is secondary. If he can seize a spirit vein or a spirit spring, it will greatly improve his cultivation.
Xue Kong saw monks coming and going on the street, and many of them were outsiders. Soon, a group of monks from the Feng family appeared in Xue Kong's sight.
Xue Kong thought about it, walked up without dodging.
"You two, please stop." Xue Kong stopped the two members of the Feng family with a slight smile on his face. When the two stopped, Xue Kong took a step forward, and his cultivation spread out, shocking the two.
Before the two could react to what was happening, they only felt a buzzing sound in their heads and lost consciousness in an instant. Their eyes immediately became dazed and dull.
Xue Kong turned and left, and the two of them followed him with stiff steps.
In a deserted and remote place, Xue Kong placed a finger on the eyebrows of the two men and immediately used the soul-searching technique to check their memories and look for the source of the Feng family's cultivation resources.
"Huh, they don't have any memory of this part?" Xue Kong exclaimed softly. These two were just external members of the Feng family and were not qualified to participate in accumulating resources for cultivation.
Xue Kong secretly felt it was a pity.
Soul-searching technique cannot be used frequently. Once used too much, it will affect one's own memory. Monks generally do not use soul-searching technique on others. It is a double-edged sword that is harmful to both parties.
Xue Kong thought about it and suddenly felt that this was too troublesome. With his own strength, it would be appropriate to search secretly, but it would be a waste of time, so he simply decided not to do that.
He flew high into the sky, raised his right hand and grabbed in the air, and the Tiangang Xuanhuang Flag immediately appeared in his hand.
With a slight shake, thick black fog suddenly emanated from the Tiangang Xuanhuang Flag, instantly covering the sky of Honghualingtan. Xue Kong took a step forward and came directly above the Feng family.
"Everyone, Xue has something to ask you." Xue Kong's voice was very calm, and it spread out and reached the ears of everyone in Honghualingtan.
"Why did it suddenly get dark?"
"As expected, time spent playing always flies by. Before I knew it, it's already night again."
"Hey, who is talking?" There was a lot of discussion in Honghualingtan for a while. Everyone looked around in confusion, not knowing what was happening. As for the black fog covering the area around Honghualingtan, only some monks noticed it.
"Who is causing trouble in my Feng family?"
"Is this your attitude when asking for help? Why don't you disperse this fog immediately!" Several angry shouts were suddenly heard in the Feng family mansion, and then several long rainbows flew out and stopped in mid-air.
There were three men and two women, two of them were middle-aged, and the other three were old.
At this moment, the five men all had solemn expressions on their faces, staring at Xue Kong unkindly. One of the elders stepped forward and shouted, "Sir, what brings you to my Feng family?"
"Why use this fog to block the entrance and exit of my Feng family!" The five people were extremely dissatisfied with Xue Kong's move, but they did not dare to act rashly, because they could not see through Xue Kong's cultivation level.
Xue Kong smiled calmly: "My name is Xue San. I have a long history with your clan's ancestor Feng Zun, and I came here specifically to talk with him."
"An old friend of our ancestor?" Upon hearing Xue Kong's words, the five people's expressions changed.
But soon, the five of them looked at each other, frowning slightly. The old man who walked out denied it in a deep voice: "I don't know what you are talking about. My ancestor of the Feng family passed away twenty years ago, and he never mentioned anyone like you."
"Your Excellency Feng, you are in the early stage of Jindan and were resurrected on the Demon Island ten years ago. Do I need to say more?" Xue Kong sneered.
If these five people were just unsure before, their faces changed drastically after hearing Xue Kong's extremely accurate words. This matter was the top secret of the Feng family, and even some people of extraordinary status in the clan were kept in the dark.
But now the person in front of me can speak it word for word.
This made all five of them a little panicked.
Seeing the expressions of the five people, Xue Kong said: "I am about to break through in my cultivation and would like to borrow your clan's cultivation resources. Everyone, please hand over your clan's spirit stones."
"impossible!"
"Even if you are truly an old ancestor and friend, our clan's spirit stones will never be given to you. They are the foundation of our clan's existence in Honghualingtan. Are you going to take them away just because of your words?"
"How can there be such a good thing in the world!" The five people firmly opposed it word by word.
Xue Kong's eyes showed disappointment. "I'm in a hurry to get to Banyun Temple. I didn't intend to waste my time with you. Since you guys don't know the current situation, I can only make some extra efforts."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Kong raised his right hand and pointed at the sky filled with rolling black fog.
In an instant.
One after another ferocious souls roared from the sky, densely packed like a river of souls, flowing down from the sky, rushing into the Honghualing Pond with ferocity and murderous intent.
"Senior, isn't your behavior the work of the devil?" The five people from the Feng family saw that Xue Kong was a Jindan cultivator, and for a moment they did not dare to act rashly and could only provoke him with words.
Unexpectedly, Xue Kong was not moved at all.
"Hurry up and ask for help from our ancestors. We are no match for the Jindan cultivators." The five of them discussed in a low voice. One of them immediately flew back to the Feng family mansion, while the other four glanced at Xue Kong unkindly and walked towards the countless souls being killed.
Seeing this, Xue Kong did not move, but two Yin corpses appeared in his storage bag and rushed straight towards the four foundation-building monks, and the killing began immediately.
