Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 100: The Yuan Family Presents a Map
half a month later.

Ji Chang sat in the elegant private room of the restaurant, tasting the delicacies prepared by the skillful chef.

However, Ji Chang's spiritual consciousness quietly penetrated the barrier of the box and came to another box.

There were only three cultivators in that box, all of them were from the Yuan family.

Apart from Yuan Yixiao and another middle-aged monk, the remaining one was a white-haired monk with an old face and many vicissitudes of life.

Ji Chang's spiritual sense swept across the two people, leaving no trace, but it had quietly left two marks of peeping.

"Yuan Shige."

Ji Chang silently repeated this name in his heart, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

After a year of searching, Yuan Yixiao finally succeeded in contacting the surviving members of the Yuan family.

At this time, the white-haired monk who was having dinner and discussing matters with Yuan Yixiao was Yuan Shige, the only surviving elder of the Yuan family.

As the elder of the Yuan family, Yuan Shige holds a pivotal position in the clan.

Those members of the Yuan family who had managed to escape from Zhuya Mountain came to him for help as soon as they escaped from danger.

Therefore, it is very likely that key information about the flaws in the Chen family's protective formation can be obtained from Yuan Shige.

Based on more than a month of contact, Yuan Yixiao was certain that this person had information about the flaws in the Chen family's protective formation.

"Elder, I heard that the Wang family is looking for those of us who escaped from Zhuya Mountain earlier."

"I heard that they wanted to use their power to break the Chen family's formation and enter the Zhuyashan clan's territory."

"Why don't we go and seek refuge with them? Not only can we use the power of the Wang family to destroy the Chen family, but we may also be able to rebuild our family."

Yuan Yixiao suggested.

Yuan Shige stroked his beard, frowned slightly, and then sighed.

"The Chen family is as ferocious as a greedy wolf, but isn't the Wang family also a hungry tiger?"

"Have you forgotten how the Wang family oppressed us in the past? Every year, they forced us to send a large number of cultivators to maintain the formation for them for free."

"In essence, it is not much different from what the Chen family is doing now."

"Even if we work for them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to truly rely on their strength to rebuild our family."

Yuan Shige's voice revealed endless helplessness and worry: "More importantly, both the Chen family and the Wang family are foundation-building families."

"We want to play the trick of driving the tiger to devour the wolf among them, which is undoubtedly beyond our ability and may even backfire."

Yuan Yixiao didn't think so. She knew that she had a trump card, and that was Ji Chang, who was also a foundation-building cultivator.

As long as Ji Chang helps, rebuilding the Yuan family will definitely not be a problem.

However, Ji Chang asked her not to reveal her existence, which made it impossible for Yuan Yixiao to convince Yuan Shige.

So, she thought about it for a while and continued to persuade: "Emperor, even if this is the case, as long as we can successfully break through Zhuya Mountain and rescue our people, wouldn't the hope of rebuilding the family be greater?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shige fell into deep thought again.

He knew very well that what Yuan Yixiao said was true. If they could successfully capture Zhuya Mountain and rescue the trapped members of the clan, then the hope of rebuilding the family would undoubtedly increase greatly.

However, he is also aware of the risks.

The Wang family is not a good family, and cooperating with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

Moreover, even if they really broke through Zhuya Mountain, there was no guarantee that the Chen family would not kill all their members first just to vent their anger.

These questions kept echoing in Yuan Shige's mind, making it difficult for him to make a decision for a while.

Finally, Yuan Shige sighed and agreed.

"Well, I'll just go to Zhuya Mountain."

"You must protect yourselves well. If anything goes wrong during this trip, you will be the last hope of the Yuan family."

At the same time, Ji Chang was slightly delighted after seeing this scene. "Even if we fail to break the formation this time, we can probably attract the foundation-building cultivators of the Chen and Wang families to fight each other."

"I can try to watch the fight secretly and leave a spy mark on them."

……

half a month later.

The outskirts of Zhuya Mountain.

The Wang family army was stationed here. In addition to the hundreds of Wang family cultivators as the core, there were also thousands of independent cultivators and cultivators from other Qi-refining families in Jiaozhou who came to help.

Outside of this group of monks, there were tens of thousands of ordinary warriors who surrounded Zhuya Mountain tightly.

Although most of these ordinary warriors are only warriors of the second or third level who have been quickly trained with the help of immortal elixirs.

Only a few centurions and thousand-man commanders can reach the fourth level of refinement, or even the fifth level of refinement, which is comparable to the physical cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining.

However, in the war between monks, this group of warriors are not completely useless.

In addition to serving the monks as servants, these warriors can also display considerable combat power under the command of the Bi family, a Qi-refining family in Jiaozhou.

The Bi family, like the Yuan family, is a family that excels in formations, and was also destroyed by the Chen family a few years ago.

However, unlike the Yuan family, the Bi family excels in the art of battle.

The Bi family was able to unite the monks who were accustomed to fighting alone, jointly activate the battle formation, and concentrate their strength to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Under the leadership of these monks, a large number of ordinary warriors can also form battle formations and form a force that cannot be ignored.

Although its power is greatly reduced compared to the battle formation launched purely by monks.

However, using ordinary warriors as consumables to consume the monks of the Chen family is a business that is sure to make a profit.

That's right. After the Wang family regained control of Jiaozhou, they immediately sought out the surviving monks of the Bi family to train their men and practice battle formations.

Zhuya Mountain was tightly surrounded.

At this time, in the central military camp, many monks were gathering to discuss the war.

However, it is not accurate to call this a tent; it should be called a palace.

In the royal army, monks do not need to live in simple tents like mortals.

They used earth magic and wood magic to easily build magnificent buildings on flat ground.

These buildings are not only strong and durable, but also fully functional and can be built extremely quickly.

Only in places where ordinary warriors live can you see many proper tents.

Therefore, the Wang family army’s garrison camp was actually more like a special city built around Zhuya Mountain.

This city not only has a complete defensive spiritual formation, but also has a variety of complete facilities inside, which can provide solid logistical support for the monks in the royal army.

It can meet the monks' daily practice needs and even entertainment needs.

If there were no spiritual veins to rely on, this would simply be a prosperous market.

……

Wang Xunhuan walked into the hall, and all the monks present stood up and saluted him.

As a senior member of the Wang family, Wang Xunhuan was responsible for handling the general affairs of the army stationed in Zhuya Mountain.

Wang Xunhuan raised his hand to return the salute, then sat at the top and looked at everyone in the hall.

Then, he pointed at the white-haired monk who came in with him and introduced him.

"Everyone, this is Fellow Daoist Yuan Shige."

"I have come here specially to help us break the Chen family's formation."
