"This type of military strength is too terrifying, we can't withstand it..."

"In our village, even pure-blooded Jiao heads have vanished, the entire Jiao has become stitched together, its power sharply declines..."

Afterward, the Demon Cultivator side also suffered heavy losses.

Only three tomb ancestors of the Three Elements Realm remained, one Three Elements Realm cultivator died, and another was severely injured for over a hundred years without fully recovering.

In the previous internal turmoil caused by Ning Zheng's daily curses, they all perished.

Old stories from the past, truly fascinating.

Ning Zheng also understood the rough reasons.

So, Ning Jiaojiao was born under such circumstances.

However, this loss was bearable for the previous Demon Cultivators.

With just three ancestors remaining, they could guard the entire mine, establishing a lasting foundation, indeed not a loss.

Even the next-door Pingchang City, with more than thirty thousand ancestors, most are in the Four Viscera Realm, and only a few reach the Three Elements Realm.

They guarded against each other, let alone pulling out ancestors to collectively attack the deep mountains.

Who dares to leave their nest unguarded?

Moreover, even if others do not seize the opportunity to attack from behind.

If the ancestor you sent out encounters any misfortune and cannot return to suppress the family, it leads to extermination, removing your name in Pingchang City!

Hence, the aristocratic families and great clans in the city wouldn't deploy their ancestors; the tombs are more for defense, while living Three Elements Great Cultivators personally attack.

But clearly, the losses were heavy.

Thinking about all this, Ning Zheng fell into a long silence.

With this middle-aged scholar's narrations, the century-old history of the stronghold and Demon Cultivator unfolded slowly.

He stood up and bid farewell directly.

Li Youzhu said indifferently:

"I also need to contact other people in the village, don't come tomorrow."

"If you hear combat, just leave, it's not something you can intervene in."

Li Youzhu believed the other party was clever enough.

Being able to escape from the mountain already proved that.

Ning Zheng finally said goodbye to them, took out some Magic Coins, instructing Su Yuniang to send a large amount of River Demon meat to the opposite party; with meat filling, they could maintain the peak state.

Su Yuniang also received a lot of information, hurriedly returning to the mountain.

Back in his own courtyard, Ning Zheng felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.

He himself was still too weak.

In that battle, his influence was too tiny.

It's only been four days, 6000, plus tomorrow it will be 7500 points.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have used so much Qi Fortune Value.

But how could he have known?

Enhancing one's cultivation is also a way to avoid crises.

Sigh.

Need to add some more.

Can't waste it, bet on some luck.

Ning Zheng immersed his consciousness deeply: "I need the best method to increase the odds for tomorrow."

[Qi Fortune Value -6000]

Ning Zheng's mind fortunately entered the rare "Enlightenment" stage for cultivators, where various thoughts collided within, and all kinds of new ideas and concepts explosively filled his mind.

A whole new Dharma Method and Divine Technique slowly appeared in Ning Zheng's mind.

"Shadow Grass Corps"

"Mental weakening toxin, which can be applied to Shadow Rice Wine cultivators through shadow links."

Ning Zheng's mind clearly flashed a piece of information.

Initially, Ning Zheng felt a bit reluctant, as he lacked the Spiritual Root-compatible cultivation technique and system.

This spell, though it can be achieved through "fortunate chance" enlightenment, the amount of money could have been enough for him to advance a small realm.

But upon seeing this information, Ning Zheng was stunned.

This derivative spell was noteworthy.

He could use others' hands to exert his own power.

It's a highly effective group fighting skill, of course, sharing a common characteristic with most such group combat capabilities:

It consumes a lot of Mana!

Indeed, its essence is his own Mana being consumed, using their hands as intermediaries to shoot out attacks.

But he was safe!

They aren't afraid to die, charging forward to shoot arrows.

He didn't need to hide everywhere for a stealth attack.

"This allows me to make a difference."

Ning Zheng let out a sigh of relief, "I'm not daring enough to face the Crow King, it's easy to die from shooting arrows secretly."

Thinking about it, Ning Zheng directly went up the mountain to communicate with the blacksmiths.

The old manager said, "Our Manor Master originally planned to leave seclusion a month from now, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he can only lend his power to help you cope; this power can only be used by the Shadow Rice Wine people."

Previously.

Su Yuniang had already told them about the matter in advance.

They were very surprised: So, the worldview background of our villa and the villages below is like this.

Many of them were moved to tears, their tear threshold extremely low.

They were deeply touched by the story of the scholar and the fish girl, the Jiao and the villagers.

They had a round of discussions and patted their chests with promises:

"For the Manor Master's sudden assault, we have thought of an interesting solution."

...

The next morning.

Li Youzhu closed the bookstore and carefully placed the key under the flowerpot at the bookstore's entrance, looking at some villagers in front of him, "Let's go."

"Let's go, charge out!"

"Let's go."

A group of villagers from the Jiao Family Stronghold marched out in a mighty procession.

Before long, they passed through several alleyways, entered the forest, and quickly arrived before a mansion.

He suddenly waved his hand.

A beam of light flashed, fiercely striking the mansion of the Nine Ancestors, quickly lighting up a protective shield.

A muffled voice from the Nine Ancestors came from inside:

"Life and death, changes, sinking, and rebirth let me know who I am, refining a heart that knows myself clearly, you have come at the right time."

Boom!

A towering blood and flesh creature suddenly pushed open the door.

A wild gust of wind roared, blowing away the sand and stones on the ground, fiercely charging towards Li Youzhu and the others in the distance.

Bottle Ancestor was a faceless person, with a slick and pale human skin covering the entire face, holding a bottle, constantly gushing out blood flowers, wantonly spraying blood and flesh, becoming puppets one after another.

"Blood Separation..."

Li Youzhu's expression gradually turned solemn, "Use mana to protect your limbs and internal organs, be careful of him separating our blood and flesh."

"He follows the lineage of blood and flesh puppets."

...

...

Boom!

"It has indeed begun."

Jiao Chiwan gazed at the sky, full of joy: "Even if they didn't escape back then, they would have gathered together, maintaining the logic of their lifetimes to resist, continuing to escape... This is completing the unfinished escape journey of the past, unsuccessful then, now it is being extended anew!"

Jiao Wuyu remained silent, calling upon the first of the younger generation, Jiao Chiwan, "You stay here to respond, the two of us will go in for a quick battle!"

The others were hesitant to speak.

Because their Jiao Family no longer had any presentable figures.

The weak going in to respond would be meaningless.

Jiao Wuyu silently entered, swiftly traversing through the mountain forest, "He indeed is taking action."

She still had matters unspoken.

Li Youzhu, upon death at fifty-six, had already stepped into the Three Elements Realm, said to be astonishingly talented and brilliant.

If he hadn't died back then, a hundred years later, the entire Pingchang City would have had to submit.

Precisely because he was so monstrous, he could miraculously reverse desperate situations back then, ambush the Jiao's head, scheme against the village elders, and help her possess a Jiao, surviving out of utmost danger.

And like that Demon Path Nine Ancestors, he was also in a half-awakened state.

Half-awakening is something only those astonishingly talented, with extremely high perception, and deeply obsessed can achieve, reopening Three Flowers after death, knowing I am not I.

This battle is not just about rescuing people.

There is even a possibility to completely bring him back to life, in the brink of life and death, lies an opportunity.

Roar!

She roared, suddenly transforming into a hornless stitched black Jiao, amusingly bizarre like a child sewing with fabric, pouncing forward.

With a fierce grasp, she held down the towering blood and flesh puppet controlled by the Nine Ancestors, "Go quickly!"

"The remaining remnants of the Jiao Family, come and go as you wish?"

Nine Ancestors' face twisted menacingly, "I wondered how a group of useless wretches like you had the courage to attack us, stay here, all of you."

Terrifying monsters walked out from the mansion.

Dark red blood aura, bright red, rolled and surged, two more terrifying figures revealed themselves.

Looking at those corpse zombies' cold and stiff familiar faces, everyone present turned pale.

The two puppets before them were the two Three Elements Realm experts from the Jiao Family Stronghold and the Demon Cultivator who died back then, forcibly refined into puppets.

Originally in their eyes, the strength of the three patriarchs was not too different, but this Demon Path Ancestor specializing in blood and flesh puppets bolstered himself with the corpses, like adding wings to a tiger.

"Stay here, all of you."

Nine Ancestors' leisurely laughter echoed:

"Indeed, in a world that's all about spiritual root inheritance and racial bloodlines, even a Baggy Little Mixed Jiao in the Five-Body Realm can have combat power comparable to the Three Elements Realm, make a good puppet."

Jiao Wuyu's face turned livid.

But this was originally a risky endeavor, with the Red Sun approaching, there was no time left.

The two people dying together had always been within her considerations from the start.

She gazed distantly, signaling Jiao Chiwan to receive her sibling, at least they escaped.
