Yuwen was here, and Mara was here!
There was a joke in the world of practitioners, which basically meant that wherever a practitioner of the Yuwen family appeared, the calamity of Mara would follow.
Naturally, this joke was not true, and the practitioners all knew that the joke was actually reversed. The real situation was that whenever the calamity of Mara appeared, the Yuwen family would always be the first to appear at the site of the calamity.
The Yuwen family had been able to become a family with a history of ten thousand years, known as the top family in the world of practitioners, and even win the respect of the five holy lands, not only because of their unparalleled thunder techniques, but more importantly because they had played the role of the vanguard in resisting the calamity of Mara in the world of practitioners.
However, at this time, Yuwen Feixiang felt as if he had spun a cocoon of his own. He would never have thought that his original plan to trap Sang Yu of the Spirit Beast Tamer Sect in the middle of Mara's attacks would be so close to succeeding, but unexpectedly, two Dharma adepts suddenly rushed out from the middle of Green Hill, which was surrounded by a large number of Mara, and rescued Sang Yu from the encirclement of Mara to Green Hill.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, Yuwen Feixiang's backup plan had not been activated yet, and Mara, who had originally surrounded Sang Yu, had instead surrounded Yuwen Feixiang, and the two sides immediately came to blows. Even though Yuwen Feixiang's thunder and lightning techniques made the encircling Mara very wary, this time Mara also seemed to have made up his mind to kill this lone Yuwen first of the third generation.
This time, he had outsmarted himself. He had never heard that the Spirit Beast Tamer Sect had anything to do with Green Hill, and the identity of the Spirit Beast Tamer Sect's disciples in the world of practitioners was very secretive. Why would the old man of Green Hill be willing to take such a huge risk for him?
The puzzled Yuwen Feixiang was very annoyed. Although the Yuwen family was the top family in the world of practitioners, the Spirit Beast Tamer Sect had always been respected in the world of practitioners. When Yuwen Feixiang realized that he had been followed by Sang Yu again, he could not openly lead the Yuwen family to besiege him. After all, Sang Yu had challenged them in the name of a fair duel, and doing so would undoubtedly make the Yuwen family and the Spirit Beast Tamer Sect completely at odds.
Still, Yuwen Feixiang and Sang Yu had a deep grudge, and so he simply set up a trap based on the information he received from the Tenma people, leaving the Yuwen family on his own. As expected, Sang Yu had followed him here, and was soon caught in the siege of Mara of Green Hill.
Even so, Yuwen Feixiang never expected that Qingqiu Foxes would risk their lives to break out of the encirclement to rescue Sang Yu who was being killed. In the end, it was Yuwen Feixiang himself who fell into the trap.
What was the relationship between Sang Yu and the Foxes of Green Hill that they would risk their lives to save him?
Fortunately, the Blood Demons, Blood Asuras, and most of Mara attacking Green Hill were held back by the Foxes' mountain-guarding formation. Most of those besieging Yuwen Feixiang were Great Asuras and Demonic Asuras, who were at most equivalent to late Core Forging.
Yuwen Feixiang was known as the "No.1 in a thousand years" of the Yuwen Family. Under such a siege, in addition to the natural restraining effect of his thunder and lightning power on the Blood Demon, he could hold on for a short period of time. However, he knew that if he did not break out of the siege in a hurry, once his Zhen Yuan ran out, or if the Blood Demon or the Blood Shura came out, the only thing left for him would be death.
Sang Yu stood on Green Hill, and behind him were two bedraggled practitioners. Clearly, they were the Dharma adepts of the Foxes who had risked their lives to save him from certain death.
But now, Sang Yu did not express his gratitude to the two behind him for saving him. Instead, he looked coldly at the white-haired, elderly Foxes standing before him.
"What is it?"
There was a hint of bitterness in the elderly practitioner's smile as he said, "We haven't seen each other for more than two hundred years, and you don't even recognize me as your grandfather?"
"I am not a member of the Foxes!"
Sang Yu's expression was cold, but there was a strange light in his eyes. It seemed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.
"But the blood of the Sand Fox Clan flows in your veins!"
The two Dharma adepts of the Foxes who had rescued Sang Yu from Mara's siege had left at some point. The elderly Foxes suddenly leaned on the walking stick in his hand as he spoke slowly.
"If that's the case, then why did I grow up in the Spirit Beast Taming Sect? Don't think that I don't know. I was picked up by my master after you casually abandoned me in the wilderness. You only deliberately revealed my background to me after I became a Spirit Beast Taming Sect's Empyrean Walker. "
Sang Yu's emotions were finally a little out of control, but his eyes were increasingly hidden. It seemed that this time, his emotions were exploding outwardly, but his innermost feelings were cold.
"Alas, how can you know the reason? At that time, the Denglong White-Forehead Clan was declining day by day, and we, the Green Hill Fox Clan, had lost the support behind us, so how could we still pretend to be powerful? The Pegasus Clan was aggressive and would come up with all kinds of excuses to attack us at any time to cut off one of the Denglong White-Forehead Clan's arms. As the clan leader of the Fox Clan, I naturally had to plan for the continuation of the clan. However, your mother and your father had secretly promised to marry each other at this time, and we also lost the secret. Seeing that the Pegasus Clan was sharpening their knives and the extinction of the Fox Clan was right in front of us, I had no choice but to put justice before family …"
"Put justice before family? Haha, what a good way to put justice before family! "
Sang Yu smiled insincerely and said coldly, "Two hundred years ago, I killed your daughter and son-in-law for the sake of justice; more than a hundred years ago, the White Foxes were wiped out; decades ago, you pushed the Green Fox Clan to the slaughter of the Tenma people. Your Green Hill was saved, and the Clan Leader is still the Clan Leader. But how many of the nine branches of the Fox Clan are left in your hands after all these years?"
"What do you know, you filthy brat!"
"I really don't know anything. I only know that the Foxes are only living a peaceful life in your hands. If they keep compromising and giving in, how much fate will the Foxes have left in the world of cultivators?"
Sang Yu seemed to have seen through the old man's thoughts and sneered, "You saved me today only because of my status as the Spirit Beast Tamer Sect's empyrean walker. But I won't lie to you — this trip to Western Wilderness is a private one, and my sect doesn't know about it. You'd better put away your plan to rescue the Green Hill Foxes while it's still early — no cultivators from my sect will come!"
The old man's hair and beard were standing on end, but his face was pale as if Sang Yu had really seen through him. He pointed at Sang Yu but could not say a word. In the end, he let out a long, bleak sigh and waved at Sang Yu, saying, "Let's go. Go and recover your inner Yuan. Once the siege on Mara is slightly lifted, you can just charge out. With your cultivation base, I'll hold back a few Mara Beasts from the Blood-lettered Symbol. As long as you don't get surrounded again, those Mara Beasts won't be able to stop you!"
Sang Yu snorted coldly and turned to walk to the back, as if he was very familiar with Green Hill.
Right after Sang Yu left, the two cultivators of the Fox Clan who had rescued him from Mara's siege appeared beside the old man again.
"Clan Leader, Sang, uh, that kid really can't get in touch with the Spirit Beast Tamer Sect?"
One of them asked worriedly, "The situation before us is very unfavorable. Mara could break the Mountain-Shielding Formation at any time, and when that happens, our Green Hill would probably face a catastrophe!"
The other person added, "This time, Mara's invasion of the Western Wilderness is fierce, and the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Clan is finished. What's strange is that while our Green Hill has some strength, it shouldn't have attracted Mara to come with such a large force. Isn't there something strange about this?"
The Old Man, who was also the Fox Clan Leader, pondered for a moment and said, "When Mara first arrived at Green Hill, he was not as strong as he is now. Instead, he received two inexplicable reinforcements. Before this, the Old Man had heard a rumor that when Crouching Tiger Mountain where the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Clan was broken, some of the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Clan's clansmen wandered outside, and Mara hunted them down. In this generation, they lost track of the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Clan, and could only meet up with Mara who besieged our clan. The other reason is the land of the river source!"
"The land of the river source?"
"That's right. This time, the Disaster of Mara is extremely strange. It seems that there is an extremely brilliant person secretly manipulating it, which is something rarely seen in the past."
When the fox cultivator heard that the chief said "very few" but not "none", it meant that there had been similar manipulations during the Calamity of Mara previously. Hence, he asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
Thus, he asked in surprise, "Clan Leader, could it be that the Disaster of Mara also seemed to be manipulated like this? But it doesn't make sense. Why didn't Mara besiege the Pegasus and the Golden Roc Clans? Why did he come for us, the small Fox Clan? "
The Fox Clan Leader said, "The Disasters of Mara in the cultivation world can be big or small. The big ones will sweep through the entire cultivation world, while the small ones will at least harm a region. But every time these Disasters of Mara seem to be controlled by someone, instead of plundering the cultivation world randomly, the catastrophe that erupts will definitely sweep through the entire cultivation world, and no one will be spared!"
Looking at the confused expressions of the two, the Fox Clan Leader explained, "The first reinforcements must have been because they were chasing after the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Clan, and the second chase might be because of the cultivators who have come out of seclusion at the land of the river source!"
"The land of the river source?"
"That's right!"
The old man nodded and said, "The cultivators who can enter the land of the river source and come out alive are all young disciples with some ability. After Mara defeated the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Clan, he did not attack the Pegasus and the Golden Roc Clans, but instead sneaked into the grasslands to kill the cultivators who came out of the river source. You must know that these cultivators are considered elite disciples in any sect, and they are extremely attractive to Mara, who feeds on fresh blood and will. Moreover, these cultivators do not have the protection of high-level cultivators from their respective sects, so they are naturally the best choice for Mara to obtain fresh blood as food, and they can also weaken the power of the human and demon clans in the future. So the reinforcements that came later must have come after they had completed their mission in the grasslands."
The two Dharma adepts of the Fox Clan looked at each other, but they could see the shock in each other's eyes. Mara was already as numerous as bees and ants, and he appeared and disappeared mysteriously without fear of death. If he also had intelligence, how would the cultivation world be able to survive this disaster?
Just as the two of them were digesting the shocking words of the Fox Clan Leader, they saw the Fox Clan Leader suddenly frown and look into the distance of the protective mountain array.
"That kid has gone out?"
"He really doesn't know what's good for him!"
"Clan Leader, are we still going to save him?"
