Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

When the Gongsun Clan Leader left, he gave Fu Changsheng a fierce glare.

As soon as the Gongsun Clan Leader departed.

The rest of the Noble Family individuals didn’t dare to linger either; they quickly rode their artifacts and disappeared in streaks of rainbow light over the horizon.

Among them, Cao Xueyang, who initially planned to take advantage, watched the grand drama unfold, and his emotions surged as the Divine Sword and Dragon and Phoenix Void Cauldron repeatedly flashed in his mind.

However.

He knew full well that with his current battle power.

He couldn’t possibly seize these treasures from the Fu Family:

"This Fu Family truly is blessed with incredible fortune!"

In his heart, Cao Xueyang felt both envious and jealous, as his mind quickly contemplated.

Indifferently.

A thought flashed through his mind.

The more Cao Xueyang thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

He murmured to himself:

"After all, the Cao Family is already in decline. It would be better to marry into the Fu Family directly."

It’s said that the daughter of Patriarch Fu is very charming and deeply favored. In this way, as long as he bides his time for a few decades, with his wisdom, the Fu Family will eventually be in his grasp:

"Hahaha, excellent, excellent!"

Cao Xueyang felt an immense sense of pride in his own idea.

....

Elsewhere.

In the sky above Demon-Defying City.

After the crowd dispersed, only Fu Changsheng and Cao Xiang’er remained in midair. Cao Xiang’er took a closer look at the Divine Sword floating beside Fu Changsheng and furrowed her brow, saying:

"Fu Changsheng, having a treasure can be a curse. I’m sure I don’t need to spell out this principle for you. Remember, the Cultivation Realm is even broader than you imagine. Foundation Establishment is merely an entry level. If you want some strength to protect yourself, you must at least reach the Purple Mansion."

"Before that"

"The best course for you is to be as low-key as possible."

As she spoke.

Cao Xiang’er looked towards the Eastern Wilderness.

Following her gaze, Fu Changsheng looked over. He hadn’t noticed before, but now he faintly sensed a terrifying aura emanating from there:

"The Nine Yang Divine Sword has actually attracted a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion from the Eastern Wilderness!"

Fu Changsheng broke out in a cold sweat.

Dealing with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Gongsun Ming, he still had some confidence. But if he really had to face a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion, he feared he wouldn’t be able to withstand even one move.

If not for Cao Xiang’er’s appearance today.

The consequences would have been unimaginable.

Fu Changsheng hurriedly cupped his hands in gratitude:

"Thank you, madam, for protecting the Way for me."

Perhaps.

From the very beginning.

Cao Xiang’er had already been present.

The reason she didn’t show herself immediately was perhaps to test his capabilities or to give him an opportunity to eliminate the Gongsun Clan’s Foundation Establishment battle power.

For a moment.

Fu Changsheng’s thoughts were in a whirl.

Perhaps.

Cao Xiang’er was not as heartless as he imagined.

Cao Xiang’er said blandly:

"The Beast Tide will soon conclude. Don’t forget the reward you fought for yourself."

Once the Beast Tide is over.

It will be time to conquer the Yinan Tribe.

Before this.

Fu Changsheng planned to find every possible way to elevate his strength to the Foundation Establishment Peak:

"It seems I must quickly find an auxiliary spiritual object to refine the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire."

Once he performed the sacrificial refinement of the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire, ranked eighty-sixth on the Anomalous Fire list, his cultivation should smoothly advance to the Foundation Establishment Peak.

....

In a hidden valley dozens of miles outside the Fu Family’s Demon-Defying City, Qiu Kui stood silently. He was the Grand Elder of the Eastern Wilderness Yinan Tribe, and the powerful aura of his Purple Mansion cultivation flickered around him like a tangible fog.

His gaze withdrew from the direction of Demon-Defying City.

A hint of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

Behind him stood the graceful Zhang Yuanyuan.

A burning flame of hatred blazed in her eyes. The matter of the Divine Sword appearing at the Fu Family was, in her view, the perfect opportunity for Qiu Kui to take action and eradicate the Fu Family.

The hatred of extermination.

Made her yearn day and night for Fu Changsheng’s demise.

She looked at Qiu Kui’s back, her heart filled with urgency, as her desire for vengeance nearly overwhelmed her rationality.

Seeing Qiu Kui’s inaction, she couldn’t contain herself:

With delicate steps, she moved closer to Qiu Kui’s side, softly saying:

"Husband, surely the Fu Family is in chaos now. This is the perfect time for you to act. If you can slay Fu Changsheng, not only can you obtain the Divine Sword, but you can also avenge me."

Her voice carried a hint of plea and seduction.

In her view.

No matter how many Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered before the Fu Family Mansion.

In the face of a Purple Mansion, they are nothing but ants.

All her husband needed to do was lift a finger to kill them.

Qiu Kui curled his lips into a wicked smile, pinching Zhang Yuanyuan’s chin lightly: "Wife, you’re rather impatient. Do you think I don’t want to seize that Divine Sword? It’s all because of that woman, Cao Xiang’er, suddenly showing up."

Cao Xiang’er?!

Zhang Yuanyuan’s body shook.

If she remembered correctly, the other was the Governor of the World Suppression Bureau under the Court.

Before the Beast Tide erupted.

The Court and the Eastern Wilderness Tribes had signed a ceasefire agreement.

Now Cao Xiang’er was stationed at the Fu Family, so indeed it wasn’t a good time for her husband to make a move; otherwise, those old things in the Tribe wouldn’t let the couple off easily. Her husband could be fine, but it would be impossible not to find an excuse to directly kill her to vent their anger.

Cao Xiang’er almost ground her teeth to powder:

"Damn it!"

This was clearly a perfect opportunity to wipe out the Fu Family.

Seeing her with a furrowed brow, Qiu Kui affectionately pinched Zhang Yuanyuan’s face lightly, saying:

"Wife, rest assured, the Fu Family won’t always have such luck. Once the Beast Tide ends and the contract expires, this Grand Elder will have plenty of ways to deal with him. By then, the entire Fu Family will be sacrificed for the Zhang Family."

...

Gongsun Family.

The Gongsun Clan Leader returned alone to the Clan Mountain.

The Second Elder, Gongsun Run, hurried forward, intending to ask if he had obtained the Exotic Treasure, but he saw the Gongsun Clan Leader’s eyes were swollen red and full of grief. Glancing behind him and not seeing the third brother, his heart skipped a beat:
