Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World-Chapter 229 - 146: Safely Crossing the Tribulation, Wu Family Retreats, Daoist Yunlai Leaves - Part 2

"Indeed, that seems to be the case. The Wu family’s actions these days have been too tyrannical, probably offending countless loose cultivators. It’s understandable that someone would take the opportunity to strike."

Numerous loose cultivators spoke with schadenfreude.

Previously, they watched the Wu family flaunt their power and act ruthlessly in the shanty town, long discontented with them.

But due to fear of the Wu family’s fierce reputation, they dared not speak out.

Now someone had the audacity to act directly, taking down a group of Wu family cultivators, thus venting their pent-up anger.

"Hehe, don’t be too happy so soon."

"Taking down those few Wu family cultivators will surely anger the entire Wu family."

"By then, the Wu family’s Foundation Establishment might act personally."

"If the Foundation Establishment takes action, our shantytown will be doomed, and who knows how many will die."

An elderly cultivator said softly.

He felt those young cultivators didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter at all.

The reputation of a Foundation Establishment clan isn’t fake.

No matter how many Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators join forces, they are not a match for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Just one Foundation Establishment could slaughter countless loose cultivators.

Now, they’ve indeed vented some anger.

But what’s next? Facing the wrath of the Foundation Establishment, which loose cultivator could resist?

"This."

The loose cultivators fell silent, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

Surely, that mysterious cultivator could run away.

But they themselves couldn’t possibly escape.

In the end, they might be the ones facing the wrath of the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Each began to worry anxiously.

...

Three days passed.

During these three days, the loose cultivators of the Yunlai City’s shanty town lived in fear.

They were very worried about the Wu family’s revenge, fearing the Foundation Establishment of the Wu family would come to kill.

Some timid loose cultivators even considered temporarily leaving the shantytown, hiding in the wild.

Hoping to return after the Wu family’s anger completely dissipated.

But after waiting for three full days, the loose cultivators still hadn’t seen any revenge from the Wu family.

On the contrary, after so many Wu family cultivators died, the Wu family became completely calm.

Not only did they not retaliate at all, but they also withdrew their original Wu family cultivators.

Making the shantytown incomparably peaceful.

As if no one from the Wu family had died at all.

This made the loose cultivators immensely puzzled, unable to fathom it.

"What’s going on? Has the Wu family changed?"

"So many died this time, and nothing happened?"

"Couldn’t the Wu family have been intimidated?"

Some loose cultivators felt very puzzled.

Because based on his understanding of the Wu family, once they learned of this, they would surely fly into a rage.

Even the Foundation Establishment of the Wu family would personally intervene, bringing thunderous wrath upon the shanty town.

But now, nothing happened.

Even the Wu family’s influence had shrunk back to Yunlai City, truly baffling.

He didn’t know what had happened in between.

"The Wu family isn’t afraid."

"Perhaps you don’t know yet."

"The City Lord has already led a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators to Cyan Forest Market."

"Among them are the Wu family’s Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"Apparently, the City Lord plans to join the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion contest, seeking Daoist Wan Hua’s inheritance."

Someone immediately revealed the reason why the Wu family hadn’t retaliated.

It’s not that the Wu family didn’t want to retaliate, but that now wasn’t the right time.

Because most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Yunlai City had been taken away by Daoist Yunlai.

Only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators were left to guard Yunlai City.

Without Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Wu family naturally dared not act rashly.

If they retaliated recklessly, most of the Wu family cultivators might fall.

Because of this, even if they suffered such a loss, the Wu family could only endure it silently.

To avoid further loss of the Wu family cultivators.

They decided to temporarily avoid confrontation, waiting for the return of the Wu family’s Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In short, before the Wu family’s Foundation Establishment returns, the Wu family dares not act.

"I see, no wonder the Wu family backed down. Turns out the Wu family’s Foundation Establishment went to Cyan Forest Market."

"Reportedly, the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion conflict is extremely fierce, with various Golden Core influences in the mix, often resulting in the death of Foundation Establishment cultivators. It’s really dangerous."

"Hehe, if that Wu family’s Foundation Establishment dies there, the Wu family might truly decline."

"Indeed, otherwise why would the Wu family be so low-key during this period, not even daring to retaliate despite so many deaths? They fear this very outcome."

"For the Wu family, the most important thing now is to produce a second Foundation Establishment; otherwise, there’s a risk of annihilation."

"Creating a second Foundation Establishment isn’t simple."

"Right, if it were that easy, the Wu family would’ve had a second Foundation Establishment long ago, instead of waiting until now."

Numerous loose cultivators discussed relentlessly.

They were finally enlightened, understanding why the Wu family had withdrawn and dared not retaliate.

It was because the Wu family’s Foundation Establishment had long departed from here.

Even if the Wu family wanted to retaliate, they probably couldn’t, so they could only endure for now.

This allowed the loose cultivators to heave a sigh of relief.

At least for the short term, the shantytown shouldn’t attract the wrath of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"But it’s said that the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion is like a place of death."

"With so many Golden Core Zhenrens gathered, even they may not survive."

"If the City Lord is slightly careless, he could fall there as well."

"If the City Lord falls, what will become of Yunlai City?"

Some loose cultivators worried about this point.

After all, it was hard-won to have a City of Independent Cultivators like this.

If Daoist Yunlai falls, then the loose cultivators would essentially have nowhere to go.

"What are you afraid of? Even if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."

"That’s right, even if Daoist Yunlai falls, other Golden Core Zhenrens will come."

"Indeed, Yunlai City earns countless spirit stones annually, any Golden Core Zhenren would be reluctant to give up the benefits of this Immortal City, so others will surely come to take charge."

"Yeah, we’re just ordinary Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators, barely able to manage much."

"The world will run its course regardless."

Numerous loose cultivators felt it was no big deal.

Even if Daoist Yunlai falls, other Golden Core Zhenrens will take over Yunlai City.

Even if this city really collapses.

They could still go to other markets to make a living, striving for cultivation resources.

It’s just that there would certainly be some upheaval during this period.

...

At this moment, in Jiang Fan’s house.

Now he naturally knew why the Wu family hadn’t continued sending people to the shantytown.

After all, the reason for this matter was already well-known.

"The Fortune-Telling Talisman truly lives up to its name, capable of seeking fortune and avoiding evil."

"Taking the initiative to strike, he defeated those Wu family cultivators and instead intimidated the Wu family."

"Additionally, the Wu family’s Foundation Establishment cultivators were unable to act, being taken away by Daoist Yunlai."

"So, for now, the Wu family has no way to act."

Jiang Fan was utterly amazed by the Fortune-Telling Talisman on him, which seemed equivalent to predicting the future, despite it just being at the Beginner level.

If he went further, perhaps the power of this talisman would be even stronger.

Of course, he also understood that others using such a talisman shouldn’t have such a strong effect.

It was purely because his Destiny was too strong.

And this Fortune-Telling Talisman complemented each other perfectly, hence it was so powerful.

This was quite suitable as his Life Talisman.

Boom~~~

Just then, a message instantly entered the depths of his Sea of Consciousness: "You took the initiative, slaying the Wu family cultivators, thoroughly intimidating the Wu family’s Foundation Establishment. You’ve gained considerable fame, passing through a tribulation, and earned five thousand Luck Points."

He sensed a surge of Destiny, falling on him mysteriously.

Simultaneously, the Wu family’s Destiny seemed to be stripped away by him.

In and out, it equated to weakening the Wu family’s Destiny.

Thus causing the Wu family’s fortune to fade, gradually leading to their decline.

Without Destiny, the Wu family would likely suffer misfortune repeatedly in the future.

Bound to be entangled in numerous disputes and tribulations.

"Five thousand Luck Points?"

"That calculates to me possessing seventeen thousand Luck Points now."

"Oh, I also have a Seventh-Grade Opportunity that I haven’t claimed yet."

Suddenly, Jiang Fan recalled his Seventh-Grade Opportunity.

After all, seven days have just passed, now was the moment for the Seventh-Grade Opportunity to appear.

He flashed and immediately departed his home, flying towards the place where the Seventh-Grade Opportunity lay.
