Chapter 191: Personal Interests
The Huang Family is only four thousand miles away from Moonlit City, which is too close.
Heading north from Qingzhou, the only reliable road to Jingzhou is through Moonlit City. Other routes are either filled with various poisonous mists or have demonic beasts lurking about, making it nearly impossible for living beings, including birds, to pass through—it's a matter of life and death.
The eastern, southern, and western directions are too far away, so far that they seem unreachable at this moment.
Moreover, the Huang Family is currently trapped in a predicament that is far from resolved.
The disciples of the Yuan Yang Sect are not here for goodwill; they have been killing both cultivators and ordinary people along the way, indicating their intention to annihilate the Huang Family completely.
Of course, at this moment, most of the qi refinement cultivators in the Huang Family are filled with anxiety and only see the immediate predicament without any foresight for the future.
Foundation establishment cultivators, however, are different. The insights of several foundation establishment elders and the family head, Huang Yicheng, are far beyond those of qi refinement cultivators. They think more deeply and understand the strength of the Yuan Yang Sect more profoundly.
It is precisely because of this deep understanding that when Yan Hongyu and Li Bùtóng launched their attacks, the elders felt a wave of darkness and concern for the family's future.
Because the actions of the Yuan Yang Sect's disciples largely reflect the sect's stance.
Standing against the Yuan Yang Sect, even if they escape today's disaster, where is the future for the family?
In an instant, not only the qi refinement family members are panicking; even the foundation establishment elders have their confidence shaken, yet they still manage to keep calm on the surface.
"What has my Huang Family done wrong to be treated this way?"
"Can the members of the Yuan Yang Sect provide me with an explanation? It would at least allow me to die with my eyes closed!"
During the duel of magic, the elder from the Huang Family Academy expressed her fury and sadness aloud.
While controlling the formation, she also had to use magical artifacts to fend off the enemy.
She attempted to stall the battle and seek an explanation to ease the relationship, hoping for some leeway.
"Is it for wealth?" "Or is it an order from Moonlit City?"
Various speculations flashed through the elder's mind, as she couldn't fathom why these Yuan Yang Sect cultivators were acting this way.
If it were for resources, would they not fear sect sanctions or the public outrage of other attached powers in Qingzhou for wantonly slaughtering the subordinates of their allies?
Although unclear about the reasons, as it concerns the survival of the family that raised her, she had to strive for any possible chance of survival.
The elder of the Academy knew that this was the biggest crisis the Huang Family had faced since relocating to Tianyong Mountain; it had reached a point where the family's survival was at stake.
Liu Yu controlled the Mother-Child Soul Pursuing Blade imbued with azure yang devil fire, mercilessly clashing with the magical artifact of a Huang Family elder, while simultaneously drawing the Radiant Gold Bow, creating nine golden arrows with each pull, shooting towards the formation from different directions.
This attack method produced more arrows, but their power was slightly weaker.
Due to the rapid firing rate, the arrows even formed a "rain of gold," creating a magnificent spectacle.
The Huang Family elder defending against this, however, could not produce a second supreme magical artifact and had to make do with a high-grade magical artifact.
She selectively eliminated some of the arrows from the rain, but still, some managed to penetrate and hit the formation, causing damage.
In fact, supreme magical artifacts are not cheap for foundation establishment cultivators. Achieving a second one while maintaining the speed of cultivation is not easy for many small families and sects' foundation establishment cultivators and typically requires around fifty years.
