Family Cultivation: I Become a Mirror-Chapter 202 - 188 Fei Luoya

Several members of the Li Family watched from the sky for a while before they saw several streaks of Escaping Light approaching from the north, landing one after another within the borders of Eastern Shanyue. Li Tongya exchanged a glance with Li Xuanfeng and muttered,

"Such a commotion, I'm afraid no family by the lake could fail to notice. Now, things have really heated up."

As expected, the leading Escaping Light slowly came to a stop, revealing a middle-aged man in black. He stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a powerful aura, his hands like jade, his gaze sweeping over Li Tongya as he spoke softly,

"Tongya, my young friend, it has been years, and your cultivation level has progressed significantly!"

"Li Tongya pays his respects to the senior!"

Li Tongya flew up to meet him, clasping his hands in greeting. The newcomer was none other than the patriarch of the Yu Family, father of Yu Mugao, the Foundation Establishment Immortal Cultivator Yu Xiaogui.

Yu Xiaogui nodded, his eyes sweeping over him, and then another streak of Escaping Light descended, revealing a middle-aged man in brocade white robes, smiling warmly, noble and elegant, the grandfather from the second Foundation Establishment Noble Family by the lake, Fei Wangbai.

"After many years, Brother Tongya remains as graceful as ever!"

Fei Wangbai spoke warmly, quite the opposite of Yu Xiaogui's attitude. Li Tongya returned the gesture with clasped hands, feeling helpless inside as he responded,

"I have seen the senior!"

Li Tongya glanced aside and indeed saw Yu Xiaogui snorting coldly. He was quite irritable at the sight of Fei Wangbai's warmth and the exchanging of pleasantries between the Fei and Li families, speaking coldly,

"The Family Head of the Fei Clan certainly has a good disposition."

Fei Wangbai chuckled, and then several more streaks of Escaping Light followed one after another. The first was the head of the An Family, An Zhiyan, wearing a large furry hat and following closely behind Yu Mugao, the head of the Yu Family.

Before long, all the Qi Cultivators from the various families by the lake had arrived, and An Zhiyan looked up at the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators and clasped his hands, asking,

"May I ask if the two seniors have any insight into this unusual phenomenon?"

Yu Xiaogui glanced at An Zhiyan without speaking, while Yu Mugao stepped forward with a wave of his sleeve, drawing everyone's gaze. Only then did Yu Mugao speak solemnly,

"I received news from my younger brother that a Zifu Monk from Shanyue has broken through to the Golden Core, hence this phenomenon."

"Nobility indeed has well-informed sources."

An Zhiyan praised loudly, as Yu Mugao shook his head with an unsightly expression. Seeing the members of the Li family below, he suddenly realized and thought bitterly to himself,

"No wonder the Li Family is behaving out of character, they must have received the news early on, taking the opportunity to expand westward. I despise it... Our sect has no Foundation Establishment Cultivators for support, and Muxian has been in seclusion in recent years. We were informed too late, allowing the Li Family to easily take over this territory."

Yu Mugao's gaze swept over Li Tongya and Li Xuanfeng, growing more troubled by the moment, and he pondered,

"Now that the Li Family has taken over the Eastern Shanyue Region, we no longer have a chance to intervene... With the support of hundreds of thousands of people, the Li Family is no longer as it was, becoming even more difficult to deal with."

Thus, Yu Mugao snorted coldly, following up on An Zhiyan's question, and said,

"It can't compare to the Li Family, I'm afraid Elder Tongya has known about this for a long time and has long been planning it!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

At once, all Cultivators turned their gaze to Li Tongya. Knowing he could not dodge the matter, he stepped forward and answered,

"We too just received news from our sect..."

Upon hearing this, An Zhiyan snorted coldly and questioned,

"How is it that I heard that your family had taken under your wing the prince of Shanyue many years ago, nurturing him carefully, and just as the Zifu of Shanyue makes a breakthrough, you position him to ascend the throne, thereby taking control of Eastern Shanyue... If it were not for having prior knowledge and being prepared, how could it have been such a coincidence?"

Li Tongya glanced at An Zhiyan, observing his sarcastic tone, and shook his head slightly before replying,

"It was a fortunate coincidence, an advantage we stumbled upon, it's incomparable to the nobility's ability to meddle and sow discord."

"You…!"

An Zhiyan had not expected Li Tongya to confront him so bluntly, his face changed color, and just as he was about to speak, a figure flew from the west, instantly attracting everyone's attention. An Zhiyan took the opportunity to close his mouth, his complexion turning ugly as he looked over in unison.

The person coming from the east was dressed in splendid attire, with a storage bag tied around his waist, wearing the garments of an Immortal Cultivator, yet his features were that of a Shanyue. His cultivation level was at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and he stopped not far from the crowd, watching everyone cautiously.

"People of Witch Mountain..."

Yu Xiaogui and Fei Wangbai both looked solemn, unsure whether the Shanyue Zifu had succeeded or not. After confronting the man for a moment, they saw the Shanyue Foundation Establishment Cultivator speak up:

"Are you people of Qing Chi ahead?"

Since Qing Chi and Green Pond are homophones, the Shanyue Qi Cultivator's mere shout did not make everyone feel anything was amiss. As the highest in cultivation among them and with the Yu Family being the overlord on the lake, Yu Xiaogui spoke in a deep voice:

"Indeed... Are you fellows from Witch Mountain?"

Unexpectedly, the Shanyue Foundation Establishment cultivator sneered and called out:

"There's no longer such a thing as Witch Mountain. Duanmu Kui failed in his breakthrough, perished and vanished into the Dao. The treasures and spells of Witch Mountain have been divided among the Zifu Monks, and we have already joined the Qing Chi Sect. From now on, we are colleagues, and I ask for your guidance."

These words caused Yu Xiaogui to falter slightly, his complexion turning ugly.

The cultivators from Witch Mountain ranged from the early stage to the peak of Foundation Establishment, and they practiced witchcraft, making them more difficult to deal with than ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators. If they were to join the Green Pond Sect, and one or two of them stayed to establish their roots here, that would mean several Foundation Establishment Noble Families would be born.

And the Yu Family had maintained stability on the lake for many years, establishing a system of tribute from various families. If several more Foundation Establishment Noble Families were to appear on the lake, the stability they maintained could be broken, naturally resulting in Yu Xiaogui turning pale. Seeing that the crowd below still looked puzzled, he explained:

"The Shanyue Zifu was called Duanmu Kui."

"The fall of a Zifu..."

The crowd was taken aback, witnessing a high and mighty Zifu Monk die in front of them. They couldn't help but sigh, and someone muttered:

"Good that he died... For so many years, Yue Country hasn't had a Golden Core. If he had succeeded in achieving one... We would no longer need to claim allegiance to Green Pond, and together with the Three Sects and Seven Doors, we would all have to turn to Shanyue."

Although this comment was blunt, even causing the corners of some people's mouths to curl up slightly, it indeed voiced everyone's thoughts. Yu Xiaogui waved his sleeve and with a clasped fist, said:

"If Taoist Fellow intends to settle here, we will be neighbors from now on. Once you establish your Immortal Mountain and spread your lineage, we shall come to celebrate."

"Naturally."

The Shanyue Foundation Establishment Cultivator was still cautious, not clear about the situation, and merely politely made a sound of agreement. Yu Xiaogui nodded and took Yu Mugao away on the wind.

Only after Yu Xiaogui had left did the atmosphere suddenly become lively, with many people flying up to congratulate Li Tongya. Li Tongya thanked them one by one, then cupped his hands towards the Shanyue Foundation Establishment Cultivator, saying in a deep voice:

"May I know senior's name? I am Li Tongya from the Li Family. As our families are neighbors from now on, I look forward to your guidance, senior."

"Fei Luoya."

The Shanyue Foundation Establishment Cultivator stated solemnly. Although he didn't think highly of him as a mere Qi Cultivator, he wasn't sure if the Li Family had a Foundation Establishment guardian and thus nodded politely, eyeing the Shanyue Royal Palace below and raising an eyebrow as he asked:

"Although I am not from Witch Mountain, I still know the boundary between Green Pond Sect and Witch Mountain was drawn at Dayu Creek. You come from the east, so what is your intention?"

Fei Luoya stared coldly at Li Tongya, the pressure of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator already weighing down. But Li Tongya was not at all intimidated and laughed, saying:

"Senior jokes. Since Witch Mountain no longer exists, this land is ownerless. It is only natural for my family to expand westward."

Seeing no fear in him, Fei Luoya narrowed his eyes, speaking softly:

"When my fellow disciples and I drew the boundary, everything west of Dayu Creek was considered my territory. I cannot unjustly suffer this loss. Your cultivation level is low, call your elders to speak!"
