I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 1876 - 1869: We’ll Be There Right Away

"Honey, these fireworks are so beautiful!" On the other end of the screen, Lu Yiyao looked as youthful and beautiful as ever.

"Wow, is that the Clan Leader’s wife?"

"Hello, sister-in-law! You’re so beautiful!"

"Sister-in-law, do you see this? Our boss specifically prepared these fireworks just for you, how thoughtful!"

"That bastard!" Elder Xi and the others couldn’t help but overhear the conversation between Zhang Menglong and his group. They were fighting tooth and nail in the siege, yet that damned Gu Xiao was using the energy from their attacks to create fireworks to amuse his wife!

However, the formation created by the dragon vein was unbelievably strong. They truly didn’t expect that with eighty thousand Dao Realm experts, they would be so utterly helpless against a formation set up by a first-grade Divine Cultivator.

"How did this kid set up such a strong formation in such a short time?" The more they fought, the more astonished Elder Xi and the others became. He even vaguely felt as if this formation could never be broken.

"Elder Xi, do you notice the color of the dragon vein getting denser?"

"This formation seems to be using our strength to strengthen the dragon vein!"

"Everyone stop attacking!"

On Elder Xi’s command, everyone stopped their attacks immediately, and Xuanyun City returned to calm.

"Our attacks are useless," Elder Xi said. "The formation is too strong, and our attacks are too scattered. We must concentrate on a single point continuously to have any chance of breaking this formation. Follow my command and focus your attacks on one spot!"

Eighty thousand elders each began to gather their strength, preparing to unleash their most powerful strike.

"Boom!"

Eighty thousand attacks struck a single point of the formation, shaking the entire Xuanyun City violently. The protective shield, like scales, reappeared, and although the combined attack was still repelled, fine cracks started to appear on the formation, and the color of the dragon vein did not deepen further.

"It’s working!" Elder Xi and the others’ eyes lit up. "The dragon vein has a limit for energy absorption. As long as our attacks exceed its limit, it won’t be able to absorb any more! If we continue this way, we will eventually break down their walls of steel!"

"Yes!"

Seeing hope, the Elders of the Divine Profound Hall became energized.

"Boss, the formation seems like it won’t hold!" Seeing this scene, everyone started to worry.

"I never planned to hide here forever. With my current ability, this formation is only this capable, but it’s enough to hold until our reinforcements arrive!"

Zhang Menglong roughly estimated that given the elders’ attack frequency and strength, it would take at least ten days or half a month. That’s plenty of time.

"Where exactly are our reinforcements?"

"What’s the hurry? We’re starting contact now!" Zhang Menglong said as he began to reach out to the first person, Yi Yang, the Valley Master of Shennong Valley!

Of course, Zhang Menglong had never met the Valley Master of Shennong Valley. They had no prior connections, at most only seeing a few elders of the Shennong Valley a few times.

However, with Gou Dan around, there was almost no information he couldn’t find.

...

Zhang Menglong didn’t expect that in Shennong Valley, Valley Master Yi Yang was also listening to reports from several elders concerning matters related to him.

"Oh? Such a thing happened? Did this group of outer sect disciples really go to Xuanyun City?" Yi Yang actually looked a bit appreciative.

Three years ago, although he was very interested in the superpower’s assessment, he had also heard Gu Xiao’s name. He just didn’t expect that in only three years, he would grow to such an extraordinary extent, becoming comparable to the group of disciples who entered the Sunset Sect with him, each of them brimming with potential.

"Yes, I suppose they are already in direct conflict with the Divine Profound Hall people by now."

"What is the Sunset Sect’s attitude?" Yi Yang asked.

"They’re not making any moves, it seems they’re just letting them run wild."

"Then they’re in for a tough time," Yi Yang said. "With just those people, a few elders are enough to give them grief; outsiders wouldn’t dare cause trouble in Xuanyun City, no matter how rich the rewards."

At that moment, Yi Yang’s communicator went off.

His expression became very serious in an instant. He had several contact channels, and this one linked to some very important elders. He had specifically instructed not to use it lightly unless something very important occurred.

He vividly recalled that the last time this was used was when some elders had conflicts with elders of the Divine Profound Hall and got trapped in a valley. It was only resolved when the Great Elder intervened.

"Hello, Valley Master!" Surprisingly, the person contacting him wasn’t any elder, but a young man he hadn’t met before.

"Valley Master, that’s Gu Xiao!" Immediately, one elder recognized him.

"Gu Xiao?" Yi Yang stared at Zhang Menglong, puzzled. "How do you have my contact information?"

"Hehe, it’s a bit presumptuous, but there’s an urgent matter, and I need the Valley Master’s assistance, so I’m reaching out."

"You need my help?" Yi Yang became interested. "Gu Xiao, if you’re in trouble, you should turn to the Sunset Sect. Why are you looking to my Shennong Valley, and why would you think that I’d help you?"

"First, tell me what you need me for?" Yi Yang added.

"Well, take a look," Zhang Menglong projected the scene of the Divine Profound Hall elders attacking madly.

"This pack of old bastards is trying to siege the city, and we have no choice but to seek some rescue."

"Rescue? Do you think our Shennong Valley would risk conflict with the Divine Profound Hall for you?" Yi Yang chuckled. Zhang Menglong’s gift was indeed exceptional. Had he been part of Shennong Valley, he might have considered it.

But right now, it wasn’t something he seriously considered.

"Valley Master won’t lend a hand?" Zhang Menglong shook his head. "What a pity, if during the fight the Zunwang Cauldron gets accidentally broken, that would be such a waste."

"What did you just say? Repeat what you just said!"

Yi Yang was about to terminate the conversation with Zhang Menglong, but hearing those words, he immediately paused.

The Zunwang Cauldron was Shennong Valley’s most powerful medicine cauldron, dating back to their days in the Ancient Cave Heaven.

According to ancient teachings, it was Shennong Valley’s unmatched secret treasure! Not only could it greatly enhance pill success rates, but it was also said to contain every alchemy secret and pill recipe the valley had ever possessed.

As Zhang Menglong spoke, he revealed a cyan medicine cauldron.

At the sight of it, Yi Yang’s pupils dilated several times, and even his breathing quickened.

This artifact was considered Shennong Valley’s most significant, most valuable treasure from ancient times, and Yi Yang had been tasked with finding it for a long, fruitless time. Now it appeared before him out of the blue.

"Valley Master, if I get killed and the artifact is seized by the Divine Profound Hall, there’s nothing I can do!"

"Hang in there a bit longer!" Yi Yang hurriedly said, "We’re on our way!"
