Chapter 139: Various Families Take Action, Surround and Intercept

Why did Luo Chen need to be anxious? It was clear that the people outside were surrounding but not attacking, indicating that they did not have the intention to kill the people in Xieyue Valley.

This was especially evident among the low-level cultivators, including the elderly, women, and children. In the world of cultivation, there was no tradition of showing mercy to the weak.

Even old cultivators and female cultivators were often objects of caution. The former had extensive knowledge and experience, and the latter were often more ruthless than their male counterparts.

So, what was the reason for sparing the lives of the hundreds of weak and elderly cultivators in Xieyue Valley? The answer was simple: they were all production cultivators, skilled in various productive skills such as spirit planting, medicine, and alchemy.

They posed no threat and could create significant value for the major powers. Even Luo Chen would not harm them.

As a master of alchemy, Luo Chen's importance was evident. His reputation as Dan Chenzi had been promoted by Po Shan Bang for a long time and was well-known in Dahefang.

Any leader would want to befriend, recruit, or control him, rather than killing him.

With this premise, Luo Chen's identity as an alchemist was a guarantee of his safety. He had nothing to worry about, and even if he needed to escape, he had prepared for it in advance.

The only thing that concerned him was the five spirit stones he owed to Gao Tingyuan. He wondered if the other party had discovered his true intentions.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Xieyue Valley was tense, with the cultivators waiting anxiously for the outcome. However, as Luo Chen calmly brewed tea, the atmosphere gradually stabilized.

The cultivators responsible for maintaining the array also regained their composure, and their hands no longer trembled.

Outside, Single Rest, a cultivator from Xuelianfang, was puzzled by the calm atmosphere in Xieyue Valley. "It's strange. The people inside seem to be calming down, and they're not panicking at all."

Lan Tianyun, a cultivator responsible for patrolling the array, replied, "Perhaps it's because we didn't attack them earlier, and they realized something."

Single Rest snorted, "You people from Dahefang are too soft. If we had followed our usual approach, we would have killed a batch of them first, and then captured another batch to establish our authority."

Fu Zhang, a cultivator from Xuelianfang, retorted, "That's why your Xuelianfang has been established for decades longer than Dahefang, but your cultivator population has never exceeded 50,000."

The conversation was interrupted by Lan Tianyun, who attempted to mediate the situation. "The reason Xuelianfang's population hasn't grown is due to environmental factors, not because of our approach."

Fu Zhang snorted, "Hmph!"

Lan Tianyun continued, "We should focus on the task at hand, rather than arguing among ourselves."

But what others look down upon is the best for the Fu Family.

As long as they can obtain the fur and blood of the beast, the Fu Family can complete the entire process of talisman making, thus no longer being at the mercy of others.

"Can we really just let them sit and watch the show?"

Dan Xiu was still unsatisfied, glaring fiercely at the people inside.

He had the strongest desire to kill! Or rather, it wasn't a desire to kill, but a thirst for resources.

The recent period of hiding and fleeing had depleted most of his accumulated wealth.

Only by breaking into the Moonlit Valley and plundering it could he make up for his losses.

Blue Sky Cloud helplessly said, "The cultivators inside have already been assigned by powerful figures. You really shouldn't stir up trouble!"

"I hate it. If I had known earlier, I would have killed that old man, leaving no room for mercy."

Blue Sky Cloud wanted to say more but was stopped by a hand.

"Second Brother!" Blue Sky Cloud respectfully called out.

Gao Tingyuan nodded and approached the great formation.

His gaze continuously roamed, finally focusing on a cliff wall in the distance.

Faintly, someone was leisurely brewing and drinking tea, completely at ease.

"Indeed, they are too relaxed."

"Unfortunately, such ease is no more."

Gao Tingyuan stepped back a mile and waved his hand.

"Let's give them a little shock!"

As he spoke, over sixty Mid-Qi Cultivation cultivators flew forward.

The Late-Qi Cultivation cultivators responsible for guarding the great formation inside the Moonlit Valley could not help but change their expressions.

"What are they planning to do?"

"They can't be planning a full-scale attack, can they?"

"Everyone, be prepared. Replace the spirit stones in the formation at any time, and the backup cultivators should get ready for battle!"

Under Zhou Yuanli's command, everyone acted in an orderly manner.

Luo Chen watched this from a distance, nodding slightly.

This Zhou Yuanli is indeed a capable person.

Whether it's the usual security work or his performance during chaos, he has shown remarkable competence.

Unfortunately, he's not on my side!

Just as Luo Chen sighed, his pupils constricted.

Outside the valley, dozens of cultivators simultaneously cast spells and incantations, causing spiritual energy fluctuations to instantly spread.

In the next moment!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Fireball Spells, Water Arrow Spells, Metal Spear Spells, Thrusting Spells, Wood Spike Spells, Vine Spells... waves of low-tier spells came crashing down like a tidal wave.

The tremendous impact made the First-Rank Earth Guard Array wobble precariously.

Yellow earth light glowed intermittently.

"It can't just be broken like this, can it?"

Luo Chen's expression remained calm, but he was a bit worried inside.

Ultimately, the yellow earth light shield stabilized.

"Truly worthy of being a First-Rank Earth Guard Array that can protect a small family. With the support of the mountainous terrain, it's as solid as a fortress!"

Luo Chen praised.

In front of the great formation, Zhou Yuanli quickly arranged for the replacement of the spirit stones.

Just one attack had consumed over a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Normal operation is one thing, but passive defense under attack is another.

If this continues, the spirit stone reserves of the two halls won't last long!

Outside the great formation.

Blue Sky Cloud looked at Gao Tingyuan with confusion.

"Second Brother, why attack suddenly? Didn't Gang Leader Wang say to besiege but not attack, and try to capture them alive?"

Gao Tingyuan replied without showing any emotion. "We need to exhaust them while besieging. Otherwise, capturing these cultivators will require more effort later."

This explanation made sense.

Under Gao Tingyuan's command, the group of Mid-Qi Cultivation cultivators attacked the great formation four or five more times.

Then they stopped, took pills, and sat down to recover their spiritual energy.

Gao Tingyuan turned around, "Moreover, if we don't attack, how can we attract reinforcements?"

He showed a jade token, from which a proud and domineering voice emerged.

"The cultivators of the Mi Family are out. I will lead people to slay them at Horse Drinking Beach!"

Blue Sky Cloud was stunned, "It's Li Ao?"

Gao Tingyuan nodded and then took out another sound-transmitting jade token, from which a steady voice came.

"I have already led people to guard the Green Hemp Forest, waiting for Qin Liangchen!"

Blue Sky Cloud was surprised, "Nangong Qin is also taking action?"

After putting away the two sound-transmitting jade tokens, Gao Tingyuan crossed his arms behind his back.

"Yes, they have already taken action, and we can't just sit idly by."

"We need to put in some effort to maintain our reputation!"

"Otherwise, when it comes time to divide the resources of the Mountain Breaker Gang, someone might say we don't deserve it."

Gao Tingyuan smiled slightly.

After waiting for two incense sticks to burn, he waved his hand again.

"Continue the attack. This time, don't hold back. Use your most powerful spells!"

Blue Sky Cloud, standing behind Gao Tingyuan, had already been convinced.

But seeing the fierce look in his second brother's eyes, his gaze became complicated.

Second Brother still can't let go of his younger brother's death!

This isn't just about maintaining appearances; it's about depleting the spirit stone reserves of the Moonlit Valley as much as possible.

Once the spirit stones are exhausted, the people inside will be unable to resist them.

At that time, with a wave of Second Brother's hand, the situation will be overwhelming, and the life or death of a certain person inside will be hard to control.

"Just doing this, Second Brother, aren't you afraid of offending those Foundation Establishment cultivators?"
