Chapter 35

Dropped to eleventh place on the new book chart, I'm so frustrated! You know, just give me a little support!

At this moment, the Xiao family members were casually guarding the valley entrance, chatting and laughing with each other:

"Bro, we've been guarding here all night, and we haven't even seen a single hair of a beast. In this freezing snowy weather, standing outside in the cold, isn't this just suffering? Do you think the information the city lord received was wrong?"

"Hehe..." One of them chuckled and said, "Bro, you don't need to speculate. There are four passages from Fangtian City to our Zhongdu City. One is the official road, which has few mountains and water, and beasts don't like to walk there. So the official road is the least likely place for beasts to appear, and it's guarded by the city lord's residence.

The second is Luofeng Ridge, where there's only a narrow path, so narrow that only one beast can pass at a time. It's an extremely easy place to defend, and it's guarded by the Wu family. The valley we, the Xiao family, are guarding is called Changri Valley. Although Changri Valley is large, the entrance to Zhongdu City is very small, only wide enough for three beasts to walk side by side. So as long as we guard this entrance, the beasts inside will be like being trapped in a bag, making it another easy place to defend.

Only the Xuyu Valley, guarded by the Xu family, is very open and extremely difficult to defend. I think beasts are intelligent; they should all be heading for the Xuyu Valley. Naturally, we won't even see a single hair of a beast here, hahaha..."

"Hahaha..." The surrounding Xiao family disciples burst into laughter.

"Is this Changri Valley?"

Xu Ziyun, hidden in the air, immediately determined her location when she heard it was Changri Valley. On her way from Zhongdu City to Changri Valley, she had also talked with Xu Li and others, gaining a clear understanding of the geographical environment around Zhongdu City. Now that she had confirmed her location, Xu Ziyun wouldn't get lost anymore.

Just as she was about to fly towards Xuyu Valley, Xu Ziyan suddenly stopped, a thought irresistibly rising in her mind:

"Since the city lord's residence, the Xiao family, and the Wu family are all working together to harm our Xu family, why can't I harm them?"

With this thought, Xu Ziyun's mind moved, and she followed the trajectory of the snowflakes, her figure silently drifting away from Changri Valley and landing in a mountain hollow about a mile away.

She found a smooth, flat rock nearby, took out a talisman pen and talisman paper from her storage bag, and without hesitation, swiftly drew a talisman. She quickly put the talisman into her storage bag and then drew two more identical talismans, which she also quickly stored.

Why was Xu Ziyun so anxious to store the talismans she had just made, putting each one into her storage bag immediately? That's because the talismans she made this time were not for attack or defense but were beast-attracting talismans.

These talismans have a fatal attraction to beasts. They can mimic the scent of a herb called Niesheng Grass, which, when ingested by a beast, will immediately cause it to level up. The scent of Niesheng Grass is undetectable by humans but can be smelled by beasts from a great distance. After smelling it, the beasts will instinctively swarm towards the source of the scent.

The beast-attracting talisman uses an array in the talisman to convert absorbed spiritual energy into the scent of Niesheng Grass. As long as a corner of the beast-attracting talisman is torn, this scent will be continuously released, lasting for four hours.

"Hehe, since the three families want to harm our Xu family, I'll lead the beasts to their places."

Xu Ziyun, like melting snow, drifted with the wind and, in an instant, returned to Changri Valley. She hid in the air, looked around, and quietly landed 500 meters behind the Xiao family's group, tearing a corner of the talisman and burying it shallowly in the ground.

This way, the beasts would be attracted by the scent of the beast-attracting talisman and swarm towards Changri Valley. At the entrance of Changri Valley, the Xiao family's disciples were guarding. For the beasts to reach the talisman, they would have to charge through the Xiao family's guards, and the Xiao family would definitely not let the beasts pass, as their families were in Zhongdu City. Thus, the Xiao family and the beasts would inevitably clash.

After burying the first beast-attracting talisman, Xu Ziyun's mind moved, and her figure hid in the air as she quickly flew towards Luofeng Ridge. The snowfall intensified, and the sky and earth seemed to merge. Using the snow, Xu Ziyun flew very fast and, after an hour, saw Luofeng Ridge from the air.

She quietly buried the beast-attracting talisman 500 meters behind the Wu family's group and then hurriedly flew towards the official road. After placing the last beast-attracting talisman 500 meters behind the city lord's group, Xu Ziyun quickly flew towards Xuyu Valley.

Two hours later, Xu Ziyun saw Xu Jin and the others standing on a hill, cautiously on guard. Xu Ziyun landed from a distance and walked towards the hill. Although she was walking on the mountain path where the beasts had come the previous night, she was not at all nervous, instead thinking to herself:

"Those beasts should be heading towards the official road, Changri Valley, and Luofeng Ridge now!"

The snowfall had gradually weakened, and the wind had also calmed down. The snowflakes were large but fell slowly, creating a beautiful scene. Amidst the swirling snowflakes, Xu Ziyun, dressed in a gemstone blue robe, with a fair complexion and bright eyes, walked gracefully, forming a breathtakingly beautiful picture.

The people on the hill were stunned, what a beautiful scene! It gave a sense of tranquility and ethereality. Everyone seemed to be immersed in that picture.

Xu Ziyun walked up the hill and saw everyone staring at her in a daze. She looked at herself, finding nothing unusual except for the snow, and looked at everyone in confusion.

"Wow! Sister Ziyun, you're so beautiful!"

Xu Li jumped to Xu Ziyun's side, holding her hand and shaking it continuously.

"Phew~"

Everyone exhaled in unison, snapping out of their daze. Xu Jin walked to Xu Ziyun, looked at her, and nodded, saying:

"You really did break through!"

"Really? Sister Ziyun, you broke through again? You're at the ninth level of the Postnatal stage now?"

This time, it wasn't Xu Li but Xu Qingsnow, who had always focused on cultivation, who exclaimed in shock and envy, looking at Xu Ziyun with a hint of disappointment.

Thank you, Bored Grass and Free Living, for your love for this book. But to be honest, I'm a working professional, and I'm very busy during the day. I only have time to write at night, often writing until nearly midnight to finish the day's chapter. However, I will try my best to speed up my writing to repay everyone's attention.
