Deep within the Western Desert, outside of the forbidden area, a three-hundred-meter-tall platform had been erected. On the platform, three Huangfu Clan Cultivators who had reached the Peak of the Gold Core stage stood there, their sleeves fluttering in the wind. Their gazes were cold as they stared ahead. Below the platform were the Huangfu Clan's Eight Division Army. They stood in formation, their bodies radiating dense killing intent as they stared calmly toward the north.
In the surroundings, there were a few wandering cultivators who were here to watch the ceremony.
According to the Huangfu Clan's information, the little devil would come from the north.
Because Fang Xing had publicly announced in front of all the cultivators that he was going to annihilate the entire Huangfu Clan, the Huangfu Clan acted according to the rules of the cultivation world even though they didn't issue a decree. They built a high platform, and the current Patriarch of the Huangfu Clan, who was also the father of Huangfu Daozi, Huangfu Qingtian, led two Great Elders to welcome the great enemy who came to challenge them. At the same time, according to the rules of the cultivation world, they invited some cultivators of equal status as spectators to show their fairness. Of course, in private, as a precaution, they had already sent another group of cultivators to secretly leave to capture that audacious little devil.
It wasn't that the Huangfu Family was overthinking things. It was just that the Little Devil often did unexpected things, so the Huangfu Family had no choice but to make more preparations … What if he said he was coming to destroy the Huangfu Family but ran away halfway?
It wasn't like he hadn't done such a thing before!
"There's news that we didn't manage to capture that little demon. The green donkey he was riding on seemed to be a strange beast as well. It suddenly soared into the sky and shook off our Huangfu Clan's spies and other cultivators. The people we sent hurried over but didn't encounter him. However, according to our calculations, that little demon is definitely heading for our sacred land. He's just deliberately using the strange beast's speed to avoid the people blocking his way. Based on his speed, he should arrive in a few days …"
A subordinate received the message from the jade talisman and came to report.
"Strange beast?"
On the high platform, the three old cultivators of the Huangfu Clan glanced at each other with deep gazes, and then one of them said, "This kid is becoming more and more terrifying as he goes on, and he's using all sorts of methods. Even my Huangfu Clan has no choice but to be on guard against him. We must be careful …"
Huangfu Qingtian was a little disdainful, and his eyes were cold. "It's just a donkey. Why are you making such a fuss?"
The third person sighed and said in a low voice, "A donkey is nothing, but the most important thing right now is to confirm this brat's cultivation. He has already matured, and we can't look at him with the eyes of an ant from back then. I feel that since he said that he wanted to destroy our Huangfu Clan, he most likely isn't bluffing. After all, Bai Mo is still suppressed at the bottom of Blackwater Lake, and this brat is most likely here for her. However, what I don't understand is why the information from our spies all say that this brat has no cultivation at all. Is he really crippled?"
"According to the Fifth Patriarch's deduction, this brat is most likely crippled!"
"But if he's crippled, where does he get the confidence to come to my Huangfu Clan to rescue him?"
They whispered a few words, and then fell into silence at the same time.
This problem had been bothering the Huangfu Clan for a few days. Not to mention them, even the Fifth Patriarch couldn't figure it out.
"Let's ignore him. Not to mention that this brat is most likely crippled, and he's just throwing away his life by coming to our Huangfu Clan. Moreover, even if he has a Yuanying, he doesn't have the ability to destroy our Huangfu Clan. Since we didn't take him down in advance, let's just wait here and settle the old and new grudges together. I don't believe that we can't kill this … Hmm?"
Huangfu Qingtian said with a cold gaze. Suddenly, he was startled, and then his pupils constricted as he looked ahead.
On a stretch of sand dunes in the north, a gust of wind blew, stirring up gray sand that covered the sky.
And in the endless yellow sand, there was a black shadow slowly walking over.
Although it was covered by sand, with their cultivation, it was not difficult for them to discover that it was a man riding on a donkey. He wore a bamboo hat on his head and was wrapped in a cloak that could block out the wind and sand. There was a saber at his waist, and he sat straight on the back of the donkey. He allowed the donkey, whose aura was so violent that it was about to go out of control, to slowly walk towards the high platform.
His aura was not strong, but it seemed to have brought along a monstrous sea of blood.
"He's really here?"
An old cultivator said in a deep voice, his eyes as cold as a blade.
Riding a donkey, carrying a saber, and his aura was ordinary like a mortal. It was the same as the information from the informants. There was no mistake.
The three old cultivators looked at each other, and Huangfu Qingtian took a step forward and asked in a clear voice, "Is he the devil Fang Xing?"
His voice was like rolling wind and thunder, and every word turned into a void turbulence visible to the naked eye, whizzing towards the donkey riding man who was still five kilometers away. After passing by, it even caused a gust of wind, stirring up the sand on the ground to both sides, causing a terrifying gully that was more than ten meters deep to appear between the high platform and the donkey riding man, as if it was slashed by someone with a saber.
This sound was not only a challenge, but also an opportunity to test the little guy's cultivation.
Although Fang Xing and Fang Xing had a feud of killing his son, after all, so many years had passed, and Huangfu Qingtian was the Patriarch of the Huangfu Family, so he handled things calmly. Even if he hated Fang Xing to the core, he still prioritized stability and did not act rashly at this time.
"Son …"
However, Huangfu Qingtian's test did not go as smoothly as he had imagined. Just when his voice was like thunder, the manifested gust of wind almost rushed in front of the man. The man did not respond, but the donkey under his crotch suddenly raised its big head and brayed at the gust of wind. It was clearly an ordinary donkey's bray, but it sounded a little different when it was brayed. It sounded like it was calling its son, but the voice was abnormally loud, as if it was spitting out a bomb of thunder.
Boom!
The two huge forces caused by the sound collided in the middle and exploded, causing the sea of sand to collapse, and the wind and sand swept all over the sky.
In the wind and sand, the man on the back of the donkey raised his hand and pressed the bamboo hat, quietly waiting for the wind and sand to pass. After a long time, he unhurriedly took out a spiritual talisman and opened his mouth with the power of the spiritual talisman. His voice came from afar, "It's me …"
He did not test his strength, but his actions and demeanor were like that of an ordinary person. The three old cultivators of the Huangfu Family on the stage looked at each other, and Huangfu Qingtian spoke again, "We heard that you were coming to our Huangfu Family as a guest, so we built a high platform to wait for you. It has been three days. I wonder why you didn't come here by flying over the cloud, but chose to travel so slowly?"
"Haha, can't you tell?"
The passenger on the donkey drove the donkey forward and said indifferently, "I'm different from you. I can't fly!"
"I heard that you've been crippled!"
Huangfu Qingtian suddenly said directly with a cold voice.
The man on the donkey said bluntly, "If you're not blind, you should be able to judge it yourself!"
"Hmph!"
Huangfu Qingtian was blocked by his words. A trace of anger flashed across his face, and he shouted sternly, "Very well, then I'd like to see whether you, who have been crippled, are here to destroy our Huangfu Family or to throw away your life!"
As he shouted, he suddenly raised his palm high and then slammed it down forcefully.
At the same time, a divine thought was transmitted to the bottom of the high platform. Among the eight troops stationed below the high platform, four Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators immediately shouted and flew up on the cloud. Each of them rode on their flying swords and rushed toward the man on the donkey with a murderous aura. Before they arrived, four flying swords had already intertwined and slashed out, blocking all the way in front of the man.
There was really nothing to say between the two sides when they couldn't see eye to eye, and they couldn't even talk about face anymore.
Moreover, although the Huangfu Family subconsciously regarded Fang Xing as an enemy that couldn't be underestimated, they always felt that he was too young, didn't have much money to cultivate, and didn't have a powerful background. Thus, they were unwilling to treat him as an equal opponent.
They always felt that when dealing with Fang Xing, they should directly suppress him so that the dignity of the family wouldn't be tarnished.
The man on the donkey did not panic. Facing the flying sword, the strange donkey beneath him began to gallop faster and faster, like a shooting star. After a distance of three hundred meters, the donkey leaped into the air. One man and one horse, they charged toward the high platform.
The four flying swords emitted an amazing divine light and murderous aura, and they strangled him.
During this process, the man on the donkey faced the four flying swords and his voice didn't waver, it was unusually calm. "If I hadn't become a cripple and come to destroy your Huangfu Family … wouldn't I be giving your Huangfu Family too much face?"
By the time he finished speaking, the four flying swords had already slashed in front of him, but he didn't even have the slightest intention of blocking them. He just waved his hand, and suddenly a scroll appeared in front of him. He unfolded it calmly on the back of the donkey, and then pressed on the scroll. In the void, there was an astonishingly loud cry. Unexpectedly, a huge green eagle with a circumference of three hundred feet appeared in front of him. With a flap of its giant wings, it had already caused an astonishing violent turbulence, like thousands of knives.
"Ding ding …"
The four flying swords were shattered in response, but the momentum of the knives didn't stop. They turned into an astonishing violent wind, sweeping toward the four Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
"Ah …"
The four Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were really just like ants in front of this green eagle that was comparable to a late-stage Golden Elixir Realm cultivator. They couldn't resist at all. Moreover, the chaotic wind came so quickly that they didn't even have the time to think of dodging before they were directly cut into pieces by the wind.
Then, the huge eagle turned around and spread its wings, flying steadily to the left of Fang Xing, its eyes filled with killing intent.
But it wasn't over yet. Fang Xing held the Hundred Evils Portrait in his hand and slashed again. The void shook again, and suddenly, a giant ape more than ten feet tall jumped out of the void. Its fists hammered the ground, and fierce wind overflowed in all directions. It leaped and jumped to the right of Fang Xing.
After that, there was a giant red tiger with red fur that was completely blood-red, a three-eyed wolf with wings on its back, and a demon crocodile covered in black armor …
Originally, it was a single rider charging toward the high platform, but at this time, more and more were summoned. There were more than ten of them, like an army.
The donkey, under the influence of the secret method and the secret medicine, was already extraordinary, but at this time, its momentum was suppressed to the point where not a drop was left.
"Ferocious beasts!"
"The rumor that this kid can command fierce beasts is indeed true!"
On the high platform, the three old cultivators of the Huangfu Family frowned tightly. Huangfu Qingtian glanced to the side, and Xian Nu, who was standing on a small hill next to the high platform, immediately waved a big flag. With a forceful wave, the flag actually released billowing black gas, and within the black gas, there were fierce and violent demon spirits manifesting. Below the high platform, nearly a hundred people of the eight troops also rushed out, side by side with the demon spirits, riding on the clouds. More and more people rushed out, and the gloomy Yin Qi was terrifying.
The billowing black clouds came in a mighty manner, almost covering the sky and the earth.
Compared to the hundreds and thousands of demon spirits that were faintly discernible in the black aura, the ferocious beast beside Fang Xing instantly seemed weak and weak.
"Haha, little devil, you really don't have cultivation, so you can only rely on your ability to command fierce beasts to fight against the enemy?"
On the high platform, an old cultivator of the Huangfu Family sneered and said, "It's a pity that you chose the wrong opponent. Although my Huangfu Family doesn't have fierce beasts, there are tens of millions of demon spirits in the Myriad Spirit Flag for me to command. I'd like to see how many fierce beasts you can send to refine the flag for us!"
The Huangfu Family's Myriad Spirit Flag was refined in the Black Water Lake, and it could control the demon spirits, making it mysterious and unpredictable.
In the past, when Fang Xing refined the fake Myriad Spirit Flag under the guidance of Daphne, its power was already terrifying, not to mention this real flag.
In the monstrous black gas, the demon spirits with terrifying auras were no different from real great demons, and their individual strength was not inferior to the fierce beasts.
However, facing the mighty army of demon spirits, Fang Xing only sneered in a low voice and put away the Hundred Villains Portrait.
"The Huangfu Family killed demons to refine the flag, and refined the clan's treasure using the Extreme Poison Technique. It's indeed powerful. I've refined the dozens of fierce beasts on the Hundred Villains Portrait, but there are too few of them, so I might not be able to deal with you, but … what if I use this item?"
He suddenly sneered and patted the Small Ivory Tower with his palm. Then, he took out another item.
A bronze door quietly stood in the void. The door slowly opened, as if it led to another world.
A monstrous ferocious aura was released from within. It was a formless aura, invisible and formless. But because the aura was too terrifying, it formed ripples that seemed almost corporeal, affecting the space around it. From a distance, the area in front of the bronze gate was a blur. Howls could be heard coming from within the bronze gate, as if the ferocious devils within had been summoned. They howled madly, and after a few breaths of time, the ferocious aura grew even stronger, and black shadows shot out from within the gate.
Fierce beasts!
Fierce beasts again!
But this time, the fierce beasts were stronger, and there were more of them!
When the black shadows landed on the ground, their figures soared, and then they roared and rushed forward, as if they wanted to tear everything apart.
At this time, the billowing black smoke from the Ten Thousand Spirit Flag was only about three miles away from Fang Xing. Compared to the momentum of the Ten Thousand Spirit Flag, Fang Xing's momentum was pitifully weak. However, as the bronze gate opened and countless ferocious beasts rushed out, their momentum became stronger and stronger. More and more ferocious beasts joined the army of ferocious beasts, almost forming a boundless sea of beasts …
Rumble!
The army of demon spirits summoned by the Ten Thousand Spirit Flag collided with the beast tide, immediately causing a huge chaos. The sky and the earth changed color, and the vast desert suddenly became a terrible battlefield. The cultivators of the Eight Tribes, who were mixed in with the Ten Thousand Spirit Flag, were simply complaining at this time. They were involved in this chaotic battle between fierce beasts and demon spirits. It was like a paper man in a fire, and they could be torn apart at any time, but they couldn't even touch the shadow of the little devil.
Even the expressions of the three old cultivators of the Huangfu Clan who were at the Golden Core Realm on the high platform changed. They no longer cared about putting on airs, and immediately rushed out with all the Eight Tribes. At the same time, they activated the greatest power of the Ten Thousand Spirit Flag in their hands. They just wanted to block the terrifying beast tide outside. If they were allowed to rush into the Ancestral Land, it would be a disaster for the Huangfu Clan.
"Hurry up and kill that little devil …"
"Quick, order someone to bring the main Ten Thousand Spirit Flag, or we can't stop this beast tide …"
"We must stop it, we must stop it!"
Amidst the loud roars, all the forces of the Huangfu Clan that were guarding this place rushed out, setting up formations and charging.
Unfortunately, under the attack of the endless beast tide, whether it was the demon spirits summoned by the Ten Thousand Spirit Flag or the defensive line set up by the cultivators of the Huangfu Clan, all of them seemed so weak. This time, the fierce beasts weren't summoned by Fang Xing, but something he had prepared in the Bottomless Abyss. He had built a passage between the bronze gate and the Bottomless Abyss, which was equivalent to a gap in the Bottomless Abyss.
In other words, opening the bronze gate was equivalent to releasing this group of ferocious beasts. Although Fang Xing had lost his cultivation, he was still the Grand Elder's Remnant Disciple. Vaguely, he was the master of this group of ferocious beasts. Although he didn't have the strength to command these ferocious beasts, these ferocious beasts wouldn't let him get hurt. Now that he was locked on by the Huangfu Clan's demon spirits and cultivators, he had offended these ferocious beasts' reverse scale and had to be torn apart.
Under this ferocious attack, the Huangfu Clan's defensive line was simply a joke.
Even with the three Golden Core Mahayana Stage cultivators leading the eight groups to defend with all their might, the fierce beast tide easily broke through.
The dense army of fierce beasts was like a wave crashing towards the Huangfu Clan's ancestral land with unstoppable momentum.
In the midst of this beast tide, Fang Xing placed a blade on the neck of the green donkey and said with a faint smile, "My good disciple, this is the most crucial moment. Don't play dumb with me, run away. This is probably my last battle. Before I came, I wanted to find a new legacy for the Sovereign Daoism Orthodoxy, but unfortunately, after seeing the faces of millions of people, I still decided to pass it on to a donkey like you. I'll say the ugly words first, as long as you send me to that place, I'll let you go and give you the legacy. However, if you really encounter any danger in the process, it'll be your fate!"
"Two … Two …"
The donkey trembled in fear and had its tail tucked between its legs like a dog from the ferocious beasts surrounding it. After hearing Fang Xing's words, it could only let out a trembling cry. It didn't dare to ignore the glaring blade and could only grit its teeth as it charged inside.
Fang Xing was surrounded by the fierce beasts that he had summoned using the Hundred Fiends Portrait. The cultivators and demon spirits of the Huangfu Clan that came to stop him were all swept aside by these fierce beasts that acted as his personal guards, ensuring his safety as he charged inside. As for the fierce beasts that were directly released from the bronze gate, they weren't something that he could control at will. Let them be!
Rumble!
After galloping for fifty kilometers, they could already see the Heaven and Earth Grand Formation in front of them. They had arrived at the Huangfu Clan's ancestral ground.
This grand formation was mainly used for sensing and sealing spiritual Qi. After all, this ancestral ground was too vast and could almost be considered a domain of its own. The Huangfu Clan didn't have the strength to set up a grand formation that could firmly envelop the entire ruins like the Taishang Orthodoxy. Thus, this grand formation could only sense the invasion of enemies and allow the clansmen to react quickly. It couldn't be used to directly stop the invasion of powerful enemies. Moreover, the Huangfu Clan didn't need this grand formation to stop enemies. They didn't care about enemies that could be stopped, and those that were worthy of being enemies of the Huangfu Clan weren't people that this grand formation could stop.
It was a long story, but it was also because of this reason that a large group of ferocious beasts rushed over. However, they charged in almost effortlessly. Even though some of them were injured by the restrictions set up at the edge of the formation, less than 10% of them were injured. Fang Xing even instructed the green donkey he was riding on to charge in from a place where there were no restrictions.
The ancestral ground of the Huangfu Clan that had been peaceful for thousands of years was now welcoming its first catastrophe!
"What a good place …"
As soon as they entered the grand formation, the scenery in front of them changed. There was endless yellow sand outside, and not a single blade of grass grew. However, the inside of the grand formation was like a paradise. There were spirit gardens and celestial fields everywhere. Rare and strange beasts roamed everywhere, and the spiritual Qi was so abundant that it was almost tangible. Even someone like Fang Xing, who had good eyesight, felt that this was a top-notch paradise. He couldn't help but praise in his heart before sneering.
"Destroy it all!"
Of course, there was no need for him to give the order. After being trampled by the invincible fierce beasts, no matter how good the place was, what would be left?
The ancestral ground of the Huangfu Clan that had been peaceful for thousands of years was now welcoming its first catastrophe!
