Wei Family Attacks
Lanjialing Plant Garden
"Hey, the soul-replenishing grass in this piece of land is growing well!" A female cultivator in yellow found that the soul-replenishing grass in front of her was growing better and faster, growing in clusters, and growing better than anywhere else.
A female cultivator in blue carrying a potted plant passed by and speculated, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Siyu is using strange fire? Are we using fireball magic?"
"Oh, that's possible!" The yellow-robed female cultivator nodded and whispered, "But why haven't I seen Fellow Daoist Siyu recently? Senior Xianghan has been looking everywhere for her, but hasn't found her."
"I don't know. I heard from Elder Baicao that Fellow Daoist Siyu was originally here to fulfill Senior Mingzhu's last wish. Now that his work is done, he is returning."
"Hey, Great Elder Qianhua is also in seclusion for cultivation, Elder Baicao has been spying with other seniors recently, and Senior Xianghan is also going back to the upper third district. The old house has suddenly become deserted again!"
"Why are you so lonely! There are so many sisters chatting with you, what else do you want!" The female cultivator in blue put down the potted plant, splashed water on her face, and smiled.
"Oh, don't mess with me! I just think District 6 is a bit boring. It's as quiet as a stagnant pool of water. I always feel like there's a conspiracy hidden somewhere!"
The yellow-clothed female cultivator whispered, "Haven't you noticed that Wei Wuji has been much more obedient since Wei Chao's death? It seems like he's holding back something bad!"
The blue-robed nun tapped her forehead and said, "Stop thinking about useless things and water the plants!"
"Ouch! It hurts!" The female cultivator in yellow covered her forehead with her hands, looking aggrieved.
But she really felt too calm! So calm that it was a little scary!
——
"Are you leaving today?" Lan Wenxin and Lan Huairen looked reluctant as they held their daughter Lan Xianghan's hands. "Why don't you stay a few more days?"
Lan Xianghan shook her head. "Master is urging me to stay here. I've been here long enough. Siyu has already gone home, and I have to go back to the sect too. Otherwise, my cultivation will fall behind too much, and I'll be left at the bottom."
Lan Baicao nodded: "Don't cry, you two. You are so grown up and still crying. Children must leave their parents in the end to make progress!"
Turning to Lan Xianghan, he said, "Did Siyu say anything special during your interactions with her?"
"There's nothing special about it. What's wrong with Elder Baicao lately? She's always talking nonsense. Didn't Siyu leave? Why do you keep asking about her? I'll just give her a jade slip. If she goes to the third district, she can come find me anytime. I'll treat her well!"
Lan Xianghan knew that Siyu's departure was a little strange, but the elders and parents were vague about it, so she didn't dare to ask any further questions. After all, she and Siyu had an appointment in three districts, and they would definitely meet again in the future!
"Alright, alright, don't send me off, let's go back!"
Lan Xianghan entered the carriage, and the monk of the Lan family rode the spiritual horse to take her to the teleportation site and leave District Six.
Pegasus galloped across the sky at an extremely fast speed, and soon disappeared from sight.
Lan Xianghan's parents shook their heads and sighed, "Ah, I finally understand Cai Yingfangshu's feelings. It's really hard for her to leave!"
"I know you love children!" Lan Baicao instructed, "But my sister is in seclusion, so you can't go home yet. Stay in the old house for the time being!"
"Okay, okay, there's no one to talk to at home, so I'll chat with you here!" Lan Wenxin pulled Lan Baicao's arm, talking with a smile, and just walked to the door of the old house.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened!
The sky was filled with thunder and lightning, and smoke. The spiritual pressure was extremely great and imposing. Some monks with low cultivation were suppressed to the point that they could not raise their heads. The wind was blowing violently, blowing all their clothes and hair into disarray.
Lan Baicao was startled and pulled Lan Wenxin to protect her behind him. Lan Huairen's expression changed and he stood in front of the two of them.
The wind was rustling, a purple-gold gourd was floating in the air, and amid the rumbling thunder, a man came with a hundred cultivators. The one with the highest cultivation level was a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, standing in the front.
Ling Feng stood there, a terrifying murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He looked at the cultivators who were like ants, cold and ruthless, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If I wasn't afraid of Lan Xianghan's Nascent Soul Master, I would kill her too!"
At that time, she and Wei Chao were fighting for the Cuiying Condensate. If she had obtained the Cuiying Condensate, his grandson would not have died!
I have to say that Wei Wuji's usual style is to completely shift the blame, saying it's all Lan Xianghan's fault!
Afterwards, he had searched for Cuiying Ninglu's whereabouts, but he couldn't find her. He even went to Jubao Pavilion to seek revenge on the female cultivator Liuli. However, Liuli had already fled, apparently bribed. He couldn't bring himself to trouble the Jubao Pavilion, so he could only put all the blame on Lan Xianghan.
Lan Xianghan's master is Yuanying Zhenjun, and he can't do anything. He can only wait for Lan Xianghan to leave home and then come up to cause trouble for the Lan family, catch them all in one fell swoop, and take all the spiritual plants and spiritual stones of the Lan family into his pocket.
When Lan Wenxin heard her daughter's name, she was shocked. She didn't expect Wei Wuji to go crazy for his grandson and kill her daughter. Fortunately, Xianghan left quickly and should have reached the teleportation array by now and would not come back.
Without any worries, Lan Wenxin immediately pinched her fingers and cast a spell. She and her husband exchanged glances. Their spiritual weapons were twin rings, one for each of them. The rings were inscribed with intricate patterns and images of clear, flying birds. Although they were mid-level spiritual weapons, their connection to each other was comparable to that of high-level spiritual weapons.
The two foundation-building monks at the door looked at each other, and immediately used their double guns to activate the valley protection formation. In an instant, the Lan family's old house was shrouded in blue light. This was an intermediate magic formation purchased at a high price, which could resist Jindan monks!
A blue light suddenly appeared and thunder rumbled.
"What's going on? The Valley Protection Formation has actually been activated!"
"The lightning in the sky... could it be Wei Wuji? Why would he attack our Lan family?"
"Last time, you came here to demand an explanation and to give Fellow Daoist Siyu a hard time! What treasure are you asking for this time? You're fabricating stories out of thin air and are so ruthless! Wei Chao's death was truly deserved!"
Despite the Lan family monks' discussions, they also made methodical preparations. When the enemy attacked, they would first take care of the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, and then protect the spiritual plants. The monks with lower cultivation would hide in the spiritual plant garden to care for the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, and protect the spiritual plants, while the monks with higher cultivation would come out to fight.
Lan Fangshu, who was already awake, and her husband Lan Caiying were both flying on their swords. Halfway through their flight, Lan Caiying seemed to have thought of something and turned back. Lan Fangshu didn't understand why and followed him, calling out, "What's wrong with you? Why aren't you going to the gate?"
"Fang Shu, the Second Elder told me some speculations a few months ago, and I want to confirm them."
Confused, Lan Fangshu followed her husband around a few times, ending up in a study and a bedroom. "Isn't this Master Lan's room? He should be taking care of the students in the Spirit Plant Garden, right?"
"How is that possible? The Master is in the late Foundation Establishment stage. With his fighting power, is he hiding in the Spirit Plant Garden? Although students are more important, they are also protected by other cultivators!"
Lan Fangshu was even more confused: "Then..."
Lan Caiying sneered: "I'm afraid what Elder Lan Baicao said is coming true. There really is a traitor in the Lan family!"
Lan Fangshu was surprised: "...You mean..."
"Let's go to the gate and see if this Master is here. Last time, he was the first to attack, confronting Wei Wuji in the air. The usually gentle Master attacked without a word. Wasn't that just intensifying the conflict? Elder Lan Baicao found it a little strange at the time, and Elder Qianhua also stepped forward to intervene and try to mediate."
Hearing this, Lan Fangshu frowned. This was indeed not right. Master Lan was easygoing and all the students in the academy liked him very much. Last time, it was indeed...
If even Master Lan is an enemy, then how many other cultivators in the Lan family have been bewitched by him!
"Fang Shu, you are a Qi training cultivator, so you don't need to go to the door. Protect the cultivators in the Spirit Plant Garden. Be careful of Master Lan!"
Lan Fangshu knew that her cultivation was low, so she nodded: "Okay, be careful!" She had already lost her daughter and could not lose her husband again.
I just regret that I’m not strong enough to contribute to the Lan family!
Lan Caiying also knew that this would be a tough battle. He flew quickly on his sword and found that the Lan family's old house was empty. Most of the people had hidden in the spiritual plant garden. He felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
They just need to hold on a little longer, a little longer. The Great Elder is in seclusion, cultivating and striving for the Golden Core. As long as the Great Elder completes the Core Formation, the Lan Family will surely be able to regain its glory!
——
Dozens of foundation-building cultivators, the three elders of the Wei family, and the cultivators in the foundation-building stage behind them were all eager to take advantage of Wei Wuji's purple-gold gourd, which could absorb everything and became a huge storage space. As long as he wanted, he could absorb everything in the spiritual plant garden, as well as the magic tools and spirit stones in their warehouse.
His Heavenly Thunder Trident is also a rare low-level magic weapon. It can draw thunder to refine the soul and specialize in attacking the most vulnerable part of the cultivator's soul. It is so powerful that many cultivators have to avoid it.
"What's wrong? Are you not welcoming the Wei family?"
Wei Wuji chuckled, his eyes full of kindness. "Why don't I see Elder Qianhua today, and friend Siyu from last time?"
He rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly, "I don't seem to have seen Master Lan either. I remember that last time I came out, he started yelling at me. The Flowing Jade Pen is also rare. It turns the void into reality and kills people invisibly."
Lan Baicao understood his implication and snorted coldly, "Master Lan, you and I are the same! Do you think we are stupid and don't know what you are up to?"
A few months ago, they were worried about the spiritual plant yield, and she and her sister were extremely anxious. Master Lan sent a box of spiritual tea, claiming it could ease anxiety and strengthen the spirit and soul. They didn't think much of it at the time. That morning, Lan Qianhua brewed a pot of tea and found it tasted okay. She gave it to Lan Baicao to drink. Lan Baicao worked with spiritual plants every day, so how could she not notice something different about the tea?
If you weren't an expert, it would be hard to detect the presence of Absolute Spirit Powder in this place! It can actually block the meridians! If you drink too much, you won't be able to use your spiritual power for a short period of time, leaving you as powerless as an ordinary person!
Although it is not poison, losing the initiative at a critical moment is the most fatal thing!
Afterwards, she talked to Lan Wenxin and his wife and Lan Caiying, telling them what had happened. She suspected that Master Lan had colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed the Lan family.
Even my great-grandmother's death might have been caused by him!
Everyone was shocked and checked the magic tea, finding that it was indeed genuine. As for Master Lan, they decided to treat him as usual and not show any abnormality.
At that time, Lan Baicao suggested: "We are facing internal and external troubles. The Great Elder is in seclusion for cultivation, and Master Lan has betrayed the Lan family. Since he gave me a box of spiritual tea like this, it means that there will be big moves in the future. We must be cautious and prepare for the rainy day!"
Lan Wenxin nodded: "That's right. If we talk about who he colluded with, it must be the Wei family. Let's pretend we don't know for now and deploy everything at the Lan family's door!"
Lan Caiying: "The day is not far away. They should be waiting for the day when Xianghan leaves. They think they have the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop."
Lan Huairen: "We'll ask for help from the Shui and Jiang families. If they're unwilling, we'll set up an ambush and catch them in the act!"
Today's showdown took place after the four of them discussed it.
"Hahaha! So you already knew this!" Wei Wuji laughed, a gloomy look on his face. "It's hard to believe Master Lan is so secretive and refusing to see anyone."
If you ask him whether he likes Master Lan or not, then he definitely doesn't like him. He loves red tape and has a strange mind, making it hard to understand. But if he wants to choose a partner, he will definitely choose Master Lan, because it will benefit him.
"What a pity, what if you knew!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Hu and Wei Bao, one holding a knife and the other holding an axe, descended from the sky. With the flashes of lightning and thunder, their knives and axes also became magical, like a punishment from heaven, carrying two cold rays of light, and the sharp blades cut through the sky and stabbed towards the valley protection formation.
They were so fast that it was impossible to catch their sight. They were like tigers and leopards, baring their fangs and staring fiercely at the ants on the ground.
"Watch this!"
One person breaks the valley protection formation, and the other attacks Lan Baicao. Lan Baicao only knows how to cultivate spiritual plants all day long and has the least actual combat experience. First, capture her, and then use the emperor to control the princes.
The other foundation-building cultivators were not to be trifled with either. They immediately surrounded Lan Baicao and used the male and female rings to block the opponent's attack. The axe was heavy and sharp, and it slid across the male and female rings, making a crackling sound and producing sparks.
Between the sparks was the couple's determination to never give up. They were two against one, facing Wei Bao, who was in the late stage of foundation building, and they were a little struggling. Lan Caiying behind them immediately made hand gestures and cast a spell. The ebony spear emitted bursts of spiritual light. He stretched out his hand, grasped it, and danced with it like a tiger.
The three of them worked together to repel Wei Bao, and the two gatekeepers defended the magic circle, increasing the spiritual energy of the valley protection formation to resist Wei Wuji's lightning attack and Wei Hu's malicious attack.
Five people against two, the battle was evenly matched, but it was strenuous. Many people had sweat on their foreheads, veins bulging, and bloodshot eyes. No one wanted to give up easily.
Lan Wenxin gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and shouted, "Elder! We can't hold on any longer!!!"
"Wait a little longer, it will be over soon!" Lan Baicao appeared calm on the surface, but in fact she was quickly making hand gestures and her heart was beating like a drum. Wei Wuji in the sky had not yet attacked, and his trident was even more powerful, which she was definitely not able to resist.
The Shui and Jiang families did not agree to rescue, but were willing to lend two things to the Lan family. One was a magic weapon that could strengthen the formation, and the other was the Demon-Trapping Jade Plate, a mid-level magic weapon that could trap cultivators below the Jindan stage.
However, opening the Demon-Trapping Jade Plate requires a huge amount of spiritual power, and she is not in the Jindan stage, so she cannot use the Demon-Trapping Jade Plate skillfully. She needs to consume all the spiritual power in her body to open the Demon-Trapping Jade Plate.
"Are you two not ready yet?" Wei Wuji, who thought he had won, was a little impatient. He moved his trident slightly, releasing lightning, tempering Wei Hu's sword, and attacking the valley protection formation.
After three times, the valley protection magic circle remained motionless, without a single crack. Wei Wuji marveled, "I don't know what kind of magic weapon they used. It didn't break into pieces after my three attacks."
He looked down at Lan Baicao in the crowd and snorted coldly, "But it's still a desperate struggle after all."
With a "bang", purple lightning shot out from the sky and headed straight for Lan Baicao.
Lan Wenxin yelled, "Elder! Get out of the way!"
Lan Caiying and Lan Huairen widened their eyes as purple lightning brushed past the ends of their hair, bringing with it a burnt smell, as if the fire of hell was burning their hair.
They looked in the direction of the lightning, their faces instantly pale: "Elder!!!"
However, it was too late for Lan Baicao to hide!
Because the Demon-Trapping Jade Plate is ready!
