Longevity with My Offspring

"It seems there's no room for negotiation!"

The middle-aged man's face was stern as crackling sounds enveloped him. A flash of lightning emerged, and his domineering white True Essence covered his entire body like flowing water, with bolts of thunder dancing within.

Grandmaster!

Shen Wang's complexion changed slightly. He took a step back into the array, not continuing to engage.

Not to mention a grandmaster, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the same level is difficult for him to tackle. Even if he could, he didn't want to kill someone from the Yun Family.

Several people were taken aback when Shen Wang hid without saying a word. The middle-aged man dashed forward but encountered something odd and was suddenly bounced back at an accelerated speed.

With an ugly expression, he said, "Shen Wang, do you think hiding will protect the paper kite?"

"Why don't you try, gentlemen? I've just added an array. If you're interested, go ahead and break it. However, I advise you not to stay here until dark. Don't blame me if something happens."

Standing within the array, Shen Wang coldly uttered this, formed a hand seal to activate the array, and then turned around to leave.

Fortunately, he had purchased a new array in time this time, reinforcing the ancestral home, just enough to withstand attacks from Foundation Establishment and Grandmaster-level opponents.

If it were the previous Yin Yang Inversion Array, it surely wouldn't have been enough. Now, as long as too many Foundation Establishment cultivators don't show up, the three of them can't do anything to him.

"Shen Wang, don't be ungrateful,"

Yun Kaihe was infuriated without regaining his composure.

"I didn't take action, simply because I wasn't confident in killing you. Huh! Breaking into my house to capture someone, who's really ungrateful, I believe you know within."

Shen Wang retorted, went inside directly, activated the soundproof function of the array, and couldn't be bothered to engage further.

This time, the array he added was the Shield Mountain Array, a purely defensive formation. Coupled with the Yin Yang Inversion Array, the entire ancestral home could withstand any Foundation Establishment level attack, even if ten peak Foundation Establishments attacked, it could hold.

Outside were two Foundation Establishment-level cultivators and one Qi Cultivation cultivator; he wasn't truly afraid.

"Damn, where does this kid get the courage to be so arrogant with us!"

Yun Kaihe cursed angrily, his eyes fierce, as he hurled the thunderball forward.

Crackling sounds ensued.

The thunderball, containing considerable destructive power, moved swiftly. In an instant, it landed within the array.

"Be careful!"

The middle-aged man, who had tried the array's power just now, warned in a low voice when the thunderball rebounded back along its original path, startling Yun Kaihe, who quickly dodged.

Bang!

A muffled thunder exploded, severing a tree behind them. Its power stood among the top within Qi Cultivation cultivators' magic.

Standing at the door, Shen Wang glanced back.

The Yin Yang Inversion Array could reflect attacks to a certain extent. It seemed necessary to strengthen this type of array, making those people suffer more.

He, somewhat uneasy, said to Liu Shan at the door, "Close the door; we are not receiving any guests today."

"Oh, alright, Master."

Liu Shan hurriedly closed the door, a bit apprehensive, asking, "Master, will they call for more people?"

"Even if four times more come, it won't be easy to break through."

Shen Wang reassured, "Just stay calm and safe."

He returned to the secret chamber and began crafting talismans on a large scale.

The array couldn't be upgraded temporarily, but he could create a multitude of Fireball Talismans. If someone capable of breaking the array showed up, he still had some means to handle it.

Outside, Yun Conghui and the others tried to enter the array. After being blocked multiple times, they had no choice but to give up.

"Uncle Hui, what do we do? We can't complete our task,"

Yun Kaihe's face turned unpleasant.

"Sigh, we lack legitimate grounds to take someone away."

Yun Conghui was somewhat helpless.

"Hmph, this was never an easy task, but who'd have thought the person was so capable. If this escalates, provoking other members of the Shen Family could be a bigger headache."

The middle-aged man's eyes turned cold.

"Why not just tell him outright? I don't believe he'd dare defy when facing a Golden Core Zhenren or Martial Arts King from the main vein."

Yun Kaihe impatiently proposed.

"You're the clever one. This matter should remain undisclosed; do you want everyone to know what we're up to?"

Yun Conghui reprimanded, "Some are waiting to catch our mistakes. Are you just handing it over like this?"

The young man murmured, "But if he keeps hiding like a turtle, we can't accomplish anything. Third Elder mentioned we have only half a month. If we don't get her there, Miss Ling Shu will miss the best time for treatment."

Yun Conghui frowned, glancing at the hidden residence, "We'll have to find a way to break the array and forcibly take her within three days."

"The outer array isn't too advanced; it can be breached."

The middle-aged man coldly stated.

"Do it."

Yun Conghui activated the Thunder Shock Hammer, attempting to smash it.

After they fully exerted themselves breaking the array, the Yin Yang Inversion Array started to falter.

In the secret chamber, Shen Wang, who had drawn several Fireball Talismans, noticed a flag planted beside him suddenly light up; clearly, the three were exerting full effort breaking the array.

He took out another earth-yellow flag, infused it with Spiritual Power. The flag vibrated and released streaks of Spiritual Light flying out, landing outside.

Soon, the earth outside churned, and a row of earthy walls rose abruptly like small hills, encircling the ancestral home, eventually forming into a mountain.

The Shield Mountain Array fully activated, turning the entire perimeter of the ancestral home into what resembled a mountain. Without absolute strength, breaking it would be impossible; this array left no room for clever array-breaking tactics.

The interior of the ancestral home suddenly darkened, preemptively entering a night state.

"What's happening?!"

Hongping, who was doing laundry, stood startled, uneasily looking at the sky, which was pitch-black and all but invisible.

"Don't panic, I'm activating the array, continue with your usual activities."

Shen Wang's voice appeared, followed by a large sunlight stone illuminating the courtyard as if it were daylight.

He didn't specify what happened; now that the Shield Mountain Array at the Magic Tier Level fully activated, the entire ancestral home formed a small mountain, albeit temporarily safe.

Outside, seeing the ten-zhang-high small mountain rise up, the three attempting to attack had to stop.

"The mountain is ten zhang high; this is a middle grade of the Law Tier Shield Mountain Array, unbreakable except by a Golden Core."

Yun Conghui chuckled wryly, "Shen Wang is indeed wealthy; this array's price is around a thousand Spirit Stones."

"It seems to be the Shen family's ancestral land, couldn't be his purchase."

Yun Kaihe didn't believe Shen Wang had such wealth.

"We can't break through now."

The middle-aged man frowned, "It seems we must disclose the real situation, believing him to be smart enough to understand the choice."

Yun Conghui sighed, "Younger Brother Shen, come out. Let's have a good discussion, and let Paper Kite join."

"I knew you wouldn't reveal your true purpose unless forced into desperation. Haha, just say it; I can hear you outside. There's no one nearby, and those inside can't hear you."

Shen Wang made no appearance, giving no opportunity to these people.

Yun Conghui surveyed around briefly, truly finding no one, lowering his voice somewhat, "Have you heard of our clan's Yun Lingshu?"

"Heard, your family genius, heard from Paper Kite that she's nearing Core Formation."

Shen Wang replied coolly.

"Miss Ling Shu aimed for a Ninth Grade Golden Core and failed," Yun Conghui solemnly revealed a secret matter.

"Ninth Grade Golden Core?"

Shen Wang was momentarily stunned, "Haha, indeed a favored daughter of the heavens, with no lack of courage. Given her talent, a Top-grade Golden Core suffices; why covet the Ninth Grade? Overreaching leads to deserved failure as well."
