Chapter 75: Ghost Vine Technique vs. Ghost Vine Technique (Additional Update)
"What happened?"
Chen An stopped Chen Qing. The last time he sent Zhao Hu away, everything went smoothly. Zhao Hu had already returned to the sect safely, so it was definitely not this incident.
"You should go and have a look quickly. Wang Feihu and two people from the Xu family are fighting. They are just over ten miles to the north. Wang Feihu is fighting and fleeing, and they are about to reach Yunwu Mountain." Chen Qing's face was full of anxiety.
"A fight started?"
The two families were fighting over the copper mine, so a fight was expected. But when the three men attacked towards Yunwu Mountain, Chen An was a little surprised.
"You call Chen Zishun to the top of the mountain to join us. No matter what the other party is planning, it's always a good idea to be prepared."
After Chen An gave an order, he controlled his slightly improved wind escape technique, transformed himself into a gust of breeze, and flew to the top of the misty mountain.
"What kind of spell is this?"
Chen Qing had never seen it, but the situation was critical at the moment, so he didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly turned around to call Chen Zishun.
When he reached the top of the mountain, Chen An did not pay attention to the acre of Youyuetan that was about to mature, but instead looked towards the north.
Before long, a deafening tiger roar was heard in the distance, echoing throughout the sky.
Chen An had heard this voice more than once and it was quite familiar. It sounded very much like the cry of the spirit beast under Wang Feihu's mount.
At this time, Chen Qing and others also arrived here.
"My three fellow Taoists, these two people are besieging me without any moral integrity. Please help them. I will reward you handsomely afterwards!"
Wang Feihu and his spirit beast fought and retreated, both of them were covered with wounds, and looked even more miserable than last time.
"Brother Daoist Wang is really restless. This time he even came to my Yunwu Mountain to fight." Chen An teased.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, if you and I work together to kill these two people, the Xu family will no longer be a concern. We can divide the copper mine equally afterwards." Wang Feihu could no longer hold on and quickly promised.
Xu Ziwei got anxious when he heard this: "Chen An, don't listen to his nonsense. If you help us take him down, I will decide whether to jointly develop the copper mine with the Chen family."
As long as they keep their troops still, they can get 20% of the copper ore for free. Chen Qing and Chen Zishun looked at Chen An eagerly, waiting for his orders.
"Ignore them." Chen An calmed down the two restless people. Xu Ziwei was more cunning and did not say how the profits would be divided. A 90% to 100% split was joint development, and a 50% to 50% split was also joint development.
In Chen An's opinion, he cannot deal with the Xu family. If these two people die and the Xu family declines, the Chen family will become the strongest foundation-building family and will definitely become the number one target of Qingyun Sect.
But if they want to deal with the Wang family, even if the Wang family is gone, the strongest two families, Chen and Xu, will most likely fight for resources endlessly, just like they did with the Liu family.
Maintaining the status quo and staying alive to develop is the best option for the Chen family and Chen An.
Although Wang Feihu and his spirit beast are slightly weaker than the other side, the difference in strength between the two sides is not too big, and there is no danger of life for the time being.
"You guys are free to do what you want. I won't care how you fight, but please don't step into my Yunwu Mountain territory to fight. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that anyone can leave alive."
Chen An's words had deep meaning, but he didn't say it explicitly. It depended on whether Wang Feihu could understand them.
The cultivators who can build a foundation are not fools. Wang Feihu's eyes turned when he heard this. When Xu Ziwei's spiritual weapon attacked him from the opposite side, he lost his balance and fell straight to the Yunwu Mountain below with the beast.
Upon seeing this, Xu Ziwei and another middle-aged cultivator from the Xu family who was at the fifth level of foundation building hurriedly chased after him.
"Are you two really going to take action in Yunwu Mountain?"
Chen An turned into a gust of wind and stopped the two men.
"Boy, I advise you not to be ungrateful. Hand over Wang Feihu and I will not target you." The middle-aged cultivator from the Xu family had a cold look and a bad tone, looking like he was not easy to get along with.
"Oh? Then I'd like to learn from you, fellow Taoist."
Chen An's eyes focused, and a stream of fiery light flew out of his body. Wrapped in fire poison, he went straight to the Xu family cultivator opposite him.
"clang!"
At the first encounter, the middle-aged cultivator from the Xu family felt the spiritual power in his body vibrate violently, and the protective magic weapon in front of him was knocked away.
Feeling a burning pain in his meridians, he was horrified and said, "Fire poison!"
Xu Ziwei's focus was different from his companions. He stared directly at the Fire Poison Blade in Chen An's hand, his pupils shrinking; "A top-grade spiritual weapon!"
Although Xu Ziwei was surprised that Chen An could activate a top-grade spiritual weapon, it was also in line with common sense. If there was a secret method to assist, and the cultivator's spiritual power was purer, it was not impossible to do it. "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you really want to be an enemy of my Xu family?" Xu Ziwei was already timid, but still said coldly.
Chen An played with the fire poison blade in his hand. The more spiritual energy he poured into it, the more powerful it became, which was a perfect match for him.
He said calmly: "Quickly leave Yunwu Mountain. I won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, I don't mind having a few more pounds of spiritual fertilizer in my spiritual fields."
The two people from the Xu family unconsciously took two steps back. They didn't know how many times Chen An could use the same method just now, but there was no doubt that neither of them could last even one round at the hands of the other.
"What a big tone! I want to see who you are going to turn into spiritual fertilizer!"
A deep voice sounded, and an old man with white hair and green robe appeared above the top of Yunwu Mountain, looking at Chen An with a dignified look.
"Xu Yuanlang!"
Feeling the aura of this person at the sixth level of foundation building, a name emerged in Chen An's mind. Although he had never seen the other person, he knew several foundation building cultivators of the Xu family.
It is said that Xu Yuanlang and Old Master Chen are cultivators of the same generation, and are about two hundred years old. But with his cultivation at the sixth level of foundation building, he should still have several decades to live.
"So you are the senior from the Xu family. I wonder why you came to my Yunwu Mountain." Chen An said in a stiff tone.
"Don't play deaf and dumb, hand over Wang Feihu, otherwise, don't blame me for bullying the weak." Xu Yuanlang was wearing a white Taoist robe that fluttered in the wind, and his long white hair was flying, looking very classy.
"Oh? So, your Xu family is going to attack my Yunwu Mountain."
"There is no point in talking any more. Let me see how capable you are as old man Chen."
The two of them just didn't see eye to eye.
The next moment, a cold light flashed on the top of Yunwu Mountain, and a silver ruler went straight to Chen An's face.
Faced with the sudden attack, Chen An was not panicked. He released the Fire Scale Shield that he had prepared long ago to resist it.
The opponent was a cultivator who had entered the middle stage of foundation building many years ago and had rich experience in fighting. He did not attack directly with full force.
He waved his sleeves and threw out three talismans, a water shield to protect himself, a cold talisman to restrict the opponent's movement, and the last golden knife talisman was a tentative attack.
The golden light was like a rainbow, quickly breaking the air between the two people. The high-quality golden knife talisman was as powerful as a blow from a cultivator at the fifth level of foundation building.
Xu Yuanlang on the opposite side was surprised. He had never thought that Chen An was also a talisman master.
"Whoosh!"
A green vine sprang up from the ground between the two people. The golden knife talisman slashed on it, but it only broke a few branches and then there was no movement.
Chen An's face was gloomy. Fortunately, he did not rush forward just now. This old guy really had some tricks up his sleeve!
"Ghost Face Vine?"
The green vine was about two meters tall and shaped like a ghost face. It was covered with layers of cold and gloomy aura. It was indeed a ghost face.
Looking at this familiar operation, it must be activated by the Ghost Vine Technique.
"The Ghost Face Vine from the Liu family was given by you, right?" Chen An's face was as gloomy as water.
Liu Zhen once used the soul-controlling spell and the seeds of the ghost face vine to control Chen Jiangxin, and he naturally linked the two together.
"So what if I sold it to them."
Xu Yuanlang showed a mocking expression and said, "The two people from the Liu family were too useless. They fought two against one and ended up dying. However, you will not be so lucky today."
After saying that, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the ghost face vines in front of him grew rapidly. The branches that had just been cut off by the golden knife talisman also grew again, forming a heavy blockade, and pressed towards Chen An step by step.
Chen An was surrounded but remained calm. The fire poison blades on his body flew out, and the branches and vines close to him fell off. However, the speed at which he cut them was far slower than the growth speed of the ghost face vine.
"You little kid who hasn't even fully grown all his hair yet, I'm not afraid to tell you that I've used this move to kill many cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building."
Seeing Chen An was at a disadvantage, Xu Yuanlang smiled contemptuously.
Just when he was feeling proud, he didn't notice that a green vine emitting an eerie aura had broken out of the ground not far behind him, and it suddenly grew to a height of more than four feet, and then quickly wrapped around one of Xu Yuanlang's legs.
