The Other Side of A Cultivation Story

Within a hall somewhere, three family heads gathered in secret.

"That Shu family is courting death!"

"To think that they would consecutively reject challenges of three families."

They were obviously the heads of the the families who issued challenge letters which included the head of the Heng branch family in Jiang City.

They definitely had their own agenda for seeking to overpower the Shu family in a formal challenge—but they were now gathered with one common goal. And that was to eliminate the Shu family for not giving them face.

"They sure don't know the difference between heaven and earth."

"Reporting!" A lackey suddenly came knocking at the door of the hall.

"What is it?"

"The Shu family head was sighted to have left their territory," the servant cultivator informed.

All the three gathered suddenly paused.

"This is our chance!" One of them quickly exclaimed. "Let's hire some elites to decimate their territory and surprise that arrogant family head when he gets back to his beloved plateau," one of them suggested.

The two other quickly agreed since they could not openly reveal themselves as the the real culprit of the tragedy about to happen with the Shu family.

"That's right," another one said. "And we can still their treasures as well."

"How about we send a small group of Heaven stage Sages to first test their mettle."

They were worried about the strength of the Protector but if he could be stalled by at least two Heaven stage Sages then eradicating the rest of the members of 'The Hunters' Plateau' would be easy.

**************

A large portion of the bed of Blood Crystal Grass that Qai turned over to the Shu family was replanted in the Herb Garden under Xiao Ning's care.

While the rest were now under the process of of being concocted in mass by Liu Hua.

And with all the Blood Crystal Pills that could be concocted from it, not only would Lady Liu Hua be able to raise his cultivation level but also, the family head Shu Wei would surely be able to breakthrough to the Heaven stages of the Sage realm.

With the Blood Crystal Grass, Spring Water, Thousand Sword Array and Beast Taming secrets, all those things were not simple treasures.

Everything that Qai handed over to 'The Hunters' Plateau' was comparable to an entire legacy left by a powerful emperor.

Even old Liu Hei could only sigh since he himself may not have that much treasures in him—but that was understandable since he had long retired from roaming around the continent and had spent most of his resources to grow stronger in order to complete his mission to exact revenge.


And now that he had achieved his goal, his spirits were ignited. He now had a new goal—to push himself to the extreme to breakthrough to the next stage in order to contract with the Void Dawn Turtle.

Liu Hei couldn't simply hide his excitement upon learning from Qai all the secrets in Beast Taming. And he was certain that that was not the end of it. He could not wait to see Qai finally reach emperor realm and learn the unique emperor grade skill 'Spiritualize,' and see for himself its ability.

And after everything was settled in the Shu family's territory, the family head and Jing began to travel towards Sun City to help the Silvermoon Apes awaken their elemental affinities and hand over gourds of spring water to the other members of the family stationed in Sun City.

**************

Few days later, a sudden disturbance once again rippled through the protective barrier of the plateau.

Anyone from the family could feel that those who arrived were not there to stop by in their inn since the killing intent were surging around the entire territory.

There were at least five Heaven stage Sages with one of them at half step-emperor realm

level.

Without Shu Wei, Elder 'Fatty' Lu, Shu Liang, Jing and Su Yu, the plateau was obviously left defenseless.

Perhaps only the two Protectors were capable of facing them—but even Lady Liu Hua may not be a match since she followed the occupational path in her cultivation. So practically, only Liu Hei had the ability to fend the intruder off. But with all five of them, it can't be certain if who would end up victorious.

Elder Shu Wu quickly retreated all the outer disciples at the rear end of the territory, especially his son Shu Kongxu who was about to awaken his elemental affinity in the coming days.

He was entrusted with the keys of the Thousand Sword Array so he called the rest of the remaining cultivators in the family to gather near the array.

The five intruders were quick to get through the plateau and also reached where the Shu family cultivators gathered.

Qai also arrived at the center of the plateau together with all his domesticated demonic beasts who ferociously charged at the center, all emitting their respective elemental Qi aura and all at the mid Sky stage of the Sage realm.

The domesticated demonic beasts halted behind the line of Shu family cultivators and stood like ready to attack anytime.

The sight of the small collection of demonic beast stunned the intruders.

"Is this Shu family trying to build a horde of demonic beasts!?" One of the five Heaven stage Sage sarcastically but curiously jested.

But just before anyone made a further comment, another voice reverberated that shook the plateau.

"Who dares to intrude in my Shu family's territory!?"

'Wabaaaaaaaaaam.'
