Chapter 4444: Family Help

In the Profound Cold Sea Region, on Snow Wind Island, lay the ancestral land of the Snowfang Clan.

Inside Snow Wind Hall, Ai Feng sat on the main seat, his gaze grim.

Bai Shuang was reporting to him that the six Golden Immortal cultivators they had dispatched to apprehend Song Dongli were completely wiped out.

"What? They all perished?" Ai Feng asked with a frown.

"This person's divine abilities are extraordinary. I'm afraid it will require a Grand Unity Golden Immortal to take action," Bai Shuang said cautiously. Truthfully, deploying a Grand Unity Golden Immortal just to deal with a Golden Immortal cultivator was a great loss of face for the Snowfang Clan. The facts were plain to see: even one Golden Immortal at the Great Perfection stage and five Golden Immortals at the late stage couldn't handle the opponent.

"Did he eliminate all six by himself, or did others help?" Ai Feng pressed.

"Unclear, there were no survivors," Bai Shuang reported. "If their life soul lamps hadn't extinguished, I wouldn't have known they were all killed. Sending more Golden Immortals would likely be sending them to their deaths."

"Send Feng Ao!" Ai Feng ordered. "He is a Grand Unity Golden Immortal; apprehending a Golden Immortal will be no problem."

"Ancestor, if we do this, the Yama Palace won't let it go, will they?" Bai Shuang said.

"Hmph," Ai Feng sneered. "The Yama Palace killed our clansmen first. Are they allowed to kill our clansmen, but we're not allowed to retaliate?"

"Yes, Ancestor, I understand," Bai Shuang replied, accepted the order, and departed.

In the Sky Roar Sea Region, at Sky Roar Market. The streets were teeming with people and carriages, exceptionally lively.

At Apricot Blossom Pavilion, several kinds of second-tier immortal wine were quite famous, giving it a modest reputation in Sky Roar Market.

In a private room on the fifth floor, Wang Chuanming and Xiahou Yao were seated around a green wooden table. A golden shimmering orb floated above their heads, projecting a thick golden light curtain that enveloped the two of them.

"The Snowfang Clan!" Xiahou Yao frowned. Their previous acquisition of the Heavenly Secret Box had left Wang Chuanming with a hidden danger. The Snowfang Clan's power was considerable, with over a dozen Grand Unity Golden Immortals, making it difficult to resolve this issue. Wang Chuanming had already been targeted by the Snowfang Clan, and unless he left the Northern Sea Immortal Region, he wouldn't be able to provide intelligence to the Wang family.

"I don't dare leave the market now," Wang Chuanming said, looking troubled. "If a Grand Unity Golden Immortal takes action, it will be hard for me to survive."

"Have you told Sun Hai about this?" Xiahou Yao asked.

"Not yet," Wang Chuanming replied. "I annihilated six enemies by myself, and this level of strength would surely arouse Sun Hai's suspicion. However, the Snowfang Clan has already targeted me. I escaped this time, but I might not be able to next time."

"I will report this up and find a way to resolve this hidden danger," Xiahou Yao said. "During this time, do not leave the market. Here is a Transformation Talisman for you, a third-tier immortal talisman for escape techniques. If you encounter a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, use this talisman to escape for your life!" Xiahou Yao took out a golden shimmering talisman and handed it to Wang Chuanming.

Wang Yulan and Wang Rumeng could already refine various types of third-tier immortal talismans. Wang Chuanming thanked her and accepted the Transformation Talisman.

He took out a golden shimmering communication disk and entered a magic incantation. Sun Hai's voice rang out: "Young Friend Song, pack up and come with me to the Chaos Continent."

"To the Chaos Continent? Why so sudden?" Wang Chuanming was slightly taken aback.

"This is an order from above," Sun Hai's voice was stern. "We have an important mission. Come to Snow Osmanthus Pavilion immediately."

"Understood, Senior Sun," Wang Chuanming replied, then put away the communication disk.

"It seems the Yama Palace has also received news and wants to find that treasure," Xiahou Yao said. "This works out. If you get definite information, report it as soon as possible. You go ahead for now. Once you're on the Chaos Continent, we'll find a way to contact you."

"What about the Snowfang Clan?" Wang Chuanming asked with a frown. "They are always a hidden danger. It's easy to avoid obvious attacks, but difficult to guard against covert ones. If they keep hiding in the dark, I'll be ambushed sooner or later."

"Don't worry," Xiahou Yao assured him, "the family will help resolve this hidden danger."

Wang Chuanming felt relieved upon hearing this. With a flick of his magic incantation, the golden light dissipated, the golden orb merged into his body, and he walked out.

A short while later, Xiahou Yao changed her appearance and walked out.

After returning to Green Lotus City, Xiahou Yao told Wang Qingbai the entire story.

"The Snowfang Clan has targeted Chuanming!" Wang Qingbai said with a frown.

"He was lucky this time; it might not be the case next time," Xiahou Yao said. "We must find a way to resolve this hidden danger."

For the Wang family to eliminate the Snowfang Clan without anyone knowing was simply impossible. The Snowfang Clan also had powerful backing, and once the matter was exposed, the repercussions would be endless, and Wang Chuanming might also be exposed.

"Qiulin might have a way!" Wang Qingbai said. "The Law of Destiny is not only for divination and deduction."

He went to Nine Palaces Peak, found Wang Qiulin, and briefly explained what had happened.

"I have a method that can make the Snowfang Clan gradually disappear," Wang Qiulin said. "However, it requires the Nine Palace Fortune Gathering Great Array as assistance. These are the materials needed for the array; other materials are easy to obtain, but the Fortune Gathering Divine Stone is quite tricky. Also, we need to capture a Grand Unity Golden Immortal from the Snowfang Clan alive."

Wang Qingbai took the jade slip, and his divine sense swept over it, his brows furrowed tightly. "Fortune Gathering Divine Stone!"

Even with the Wang family's current strength, it wouldn't be easy to gather all the listed materials, especially the Fortune Gathering Divine Stone.

Wang Changsheng had mentioned before that if they needed to collect rare materials, they could go to Golden Firmament City and find a Grand Unity Golden Immortal named Luo Shan. Of course, the Wang family could also seek help from the Nangong Immortal Clan, but that might expose the secret of Wang Qiulin mastering the Law of Destiny.

"It can make the Snowfang Clan gradually disappear? That powerful?" Wang Qingbai asked in surprise. "And it also requires capturing a Grand Unity Golden Immortal from the Snowfang Clan alive!"

"Father, just do as instructed, and leave the rest to me," Wang Qiulin said with full confidence. "The Law of Destiny ranks among the supreme laws, far more than just divination and deduction."

Wang Qingbai nodded. Since Wang Qiulin had said so, he assumed there wouldn't be any problem.

He took out a blue-glowing magic disk and entered a magic incantation. Ye Haitang's voice rang out: "Cousin Qingbai, what's wrong?"

"Cousin Haitang," Wang Qingbai said, "Qiulin needs to set up the Nine Palace Fortune Gathering Great Array and requires a lot of rare materials. Our family only has a small portion of them. I'll trouble you to make a trip to Golden Firmament City to exchange for the remaining materials with Luo Shan. Take Yidao with you! Be careful on the way." Wang Qingbai then briefly mentioned the materials that needed to be collected.

Ye Haitang and Wang Yidao were already at the mid-Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, so it would be safer for them to go in person.

"Understood. I'll contact Yidao, and we'll make the trip together!" Ye Haitang replied. "We'll get these things back as soon as possible. Oh, right, have Uncle and Auntie returned yet?"

"Not yet," Wang Qingbai said. "If they return, I'll inform you."

"Alright! I'll do that then!" Ye Haitang agreed.

Wang Qingbai then contacted Wang Mengbin, saying: "Mengbin, make a trip to the Profound Cold Sea Region and try to capture a Grand Unity Golden Immortal from the Snowfang Clan alive. Don't let anyone recognize you. To be cautious, have Zongyun go with you! It's good to have an extra helper."

"Alright, I'll contact Zongyun immediately, and we'll head to the Profound Cold Sea Region at once," Wang Mengbin agreed.

Wang Qingbai gave a few instructions, then cut off the connection.

"With them taking action personally, there shouldn't be any problem," Wang Qingbai said. "We just have to wait for good news."

They had to guard against the Chakhar Tribe besieging the city and could not leave Green Lotus City. Fortunately, the Wang family had a considerable number of Grand Unity Golden Immortals, so many matters could be entrusted to other clan members.

After a brief chat, Wang Qingbai took his leave and departed.
