Banshee Family Training Record

The immense force swept along the willow branches, catching her small body completely off guard. Like a meteor hammer, she was lifted up by the giant rat, flew around in mid-air, and finally crashed heavily to the ground!

This didn't cause her much harm, but it also meant that all the control she tried to exert over the giant rat had been in vain!

“Hahaha!”

The giant rat let out a loud laugh, its mouth agape, displaying extreme arrogance. Even now, it remained completely unharmed, and its body continued to expand, its strength growing ever greater!

This is his secret technique that he is very proud of. Once he uses it, damn it, who here can stop him?

Damn it, who can stop us here?!

He wanted to shout and roar, but at that moment, a bright red light suddenly flashed by.

Then, in an instant, his throat was sealed!

The giant rat's smile suddenly froze completely. Its enormous head fell from the top of its neck, and a thick jet of blood gushed out, reaching more than four meters high, before falling to the surrounding earth.

His remaining massive headless corpse swayed and then fell to the ground. His body shrank rapidly like a deflated balloon, becoming indistinguishable from an ordinary rat-clan demon cultivator in the blink of an eye.

Just moments ago, it was ecstatic and considered itself invincible, but in the blink of an eye, it lost its life. It's likely that this rat demon didn't realize who killed it until the moment it died.

"call……"

A fiery red figure emerged from the shadows; it was none other than Hua Caiyan. She breathed a long sigh of relief. This was their pre-arranged tactic: Yun Chu'an would lure her in, while Liu Mengshen would control her, creating an opportunity for her to strike.

The final result is as follows: although the process was fraught with danger, she seized the opportunity she had fought so hard for and killed the giant rat on the spot with a single blow.

"Ha, it went relatively smoothly."

Yun Chuan got up from the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, went over and helped Liu Meng up, then quickly turned around and ran to Qi Qiao's side.

At this moment, the zombie also managed to get up from the ground, but his body was still swaying, as if he had suffered some minor injuries.

He quickly channeled some spiritual energy into her, barely managing to stabilize her condition. Hua Caiyan walked to his side, her expression smug: "How about it? Wasn't my throwing knife amazing?"

To kill someone of the same level in one strike, even if it was just a sneak attack, and considering that the opponent was at their peak, that strength is undeniably formidable.

Yun Chu'an didn't hold back his praise for her, giving her a thumbs up and saying, "Amazing! Fifth Sister is amazing, of course. If it weren't for Fifth Sister, I don't know where we would have gone!"

Hua Caiyan raised her little face. Even though these compliments were just empty platitudes, she was still overjoyed to hear them come from his mouth: "That's right! This is what your older sister is best at."

"Let alone someone at the same level as me, the seventh level of Qi Refining, even if a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining came and was caught off guard by my attack, he would still end up with his head severed from his body!"

She said this triumphantly, and Yun Chu'an suddenly became curious: "Oh, by the way, Fifth Sister, I just saw that your throwing knife looks a bit similar to the way Fourth Sister used the other day?"

Hua Caiyan stopped smiling and nodded seriously: "Yes, she taught me. It's a very sophisticated throwing technique. Although it's just a throwing knife that Fourth Sister uses casually, it's a divine skill that can kill an enemy in one hit for me."

As she spoke, a hint of worry appeared on her face when she mentioned Zhu Yunqing: "I wonder how Fourth Sister and the others are doing now."

The spider demon genuinely cared for them. Hua Caiyan was not a heartless and ungrateful demon. On the contrary, if she hadn't been so deeply sentimental, she wouldn't have hated the betrayal so much back then, to the point of being prejudiced against all humans.

Yun Chu'an sighed and said, "There's really nothing we can do to help them right now. The most we can do is to live our own lives well and not let them worry."

After comforting the little fox, he looked up into the distance and realized that the battle could be declared over.

Chapter 141 The Snake Demon Had Already Been Here

Guangzhi had almost wiped out all the rat demon archers on the other side, and he himself had suffered little damage. The remaining rat demons, seeing that their strongest member had been killed, scattered in terror and fled.

Yun Chu'an was too lazy to chase after them. He had already arranged for people to block all the exits of this mountain valley, so now, none of these rats could escape.

only……

Looking at the rats scurrying all over the mountains and fields, a strange thought couldn't help but pop into his mind.

Are there too few mice?

Even though this family has a rat demon cultivator who has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is higher than Uvi's, the scale of this rat demon family is actually smaller than that of Uvi's gray wolf family.

There aren't many rat demons in total that are capable of resisting.

Aren't rats supposed to be prolific breeders? Why are they suddenly limp?

He didn't know, but now that the battle was decided, he was too lazy to think about it anymore and just wanted to rest.

Soon, Qi Along and Uvi also ended their battles. None of the rat demons who tried to escape were able to get out; they were all captured.

A dozen or so rat demons were tied up and thrown haphazardly across the open space in the mountain valley. Only a few rats remained alive; the rest had been killed during their escape or battles.

Yun Chu'an stepped forward, randomly selected a lucky rat demon, revealed a fierce expression, and asked, "This big yellow-haired rat is your leader, right?"

He pointed to the shrunken but still enormous giant rat carcass, while the rat in front of him trembled with fear, unable to speak. Finally, it suddenly convulsed, its eyes rolled back, and a foul stench wafted out, causing Yun Chu'an to gag.

He quickly signaled the surrounding wolf demons to take the rat demon away, and then brought up another rat demon to question him. This time he wasn't so unlucky; this rat demon was a little bolder and wasn't scared out of his wits right away.

Faced with Yun Chu'an's question, he repeatedly replied, "It was true before, but not now, and even before that it wasn't true..."

Yun Chu'an frowned and said impatiently, "What do you mean by 'before' or 'before'? Explain yourself clearly!"

The rat demon was quite clever. Trembling, it recounted what it knew: "A long, long time ago, before this snake demon family came, we cultivated and lived together with the Black Bull family."

"The black cattle love to graze, so we have a large plot of land dedicated to harvesting fresh fodder for them. Of course, we keep some for ourselves, but they don't know that, hehe..."

"Anyway, that's how we did it back then. At that time, our leader was the eldest sister, Ziyangcai. She was a master at planting grass and would also plant some herbs in the grass. This not only made the grass grow better, but we could also exchange the herbs for spirit stones."

He reminisced about his past idyllic days, then his face suddenly darkened: "But then, the snake demons came, they drove away the black bulls, and so we could no longer live comfortably by planting some grass like before."

"The snake demons came to our house and asked us to lead the charge for them. My eldest sister refused, saying that we would be cannon fodder. She said she was willing to offer medicinal herbs as tribute, which got us off the hook. But when the family ran out of money, my eldest sister lost her prestige, and everyone complained a lot in private."

As he spoke, he pointed to the headless giant rat on the ground. Seeing that his former leader was now just a corpse, he was trembling with fear. "And then one day, Boss Banzhi suddenly broke through. This should have been a happy thing, but then he suddenly imprisoned Sister Ziyangcai and her group of sisters, and became the leader himself."

"After that, the snake demons came again. Boss Banzhi readily agreed to lead the charge for them, taking a group of brothers out. Although the expedition was unsuccessful and the casualties were heavy, the snake demons rewarded them with a lot of spirit stones, so the family was able to make a living again."

"Ban Zhi," that was clearly the name of the giant rat they had just killed. Yun Chu'an nodded slightly, a touch of heaviness in his heart.

Clearly, the mastermind behind this coup must be those snake demons. These guys actually have such insidious methods; the rat demons in this hiding place they chose have been completely subdued by them.

However, it seems there are loopholes that can be exploited...

Noticing the little mouse's choice of words, he felt a surge of anticipation: "So, your previous 'Purple Sunflower' sister isn't dead yet, just imprisoned? Is she very unwilling to submit to those snake demons?"

The rat demon replied, "My elder sister believes that snake demons are born to eat rats. Right now, they only have enough to eat for the time being, so they are just using us as cannon fodder. If they run out of food in the future, our whole family will become the snake demons' meal."

"She originally planned to lead everyone to escape, but before she could find a suitable target, she was imprisoned."

Yun Chu'an's eyes flickered, and he already had an idea in mind, but he didn't rush to say it. He continued to ask questions and gather information: "How often does Ban Zhi contact those snake demons? What kind of cultivator is he working with?"

The rat demon said, "Boss Banzhi can't contact them. We can only wait for them to come and give orders. The last time he came was many days ago. If you count the days, it's been a very, very long time since he came."

"The one who was in contact with us was a very young snake demon. The boss said that his cultivation level was at the Foundation Establishment stage, which was very scary. He spoke very slowly and always had hidden meanings in his words. None of us dared to talk to him, not even the boss, Ban Zhi. We could only agree with whatever he said. Only Sister Zi Yang Cai dared to say more than a few words to him."

As Yun Chu'an listened to these words, an image of a cunning snake demon, whose emotions were never revealed, came to mind, making him take the matter even more seriously.

But that woman who sold "purple hydrangea" seemed to be quite insightful? She could fend off external enemies, but not backstabbing...

He weighed the options in his mind and felt that his plan was more feasible: "Untie him, and you take me to see your eldest sister, Ziyangcai."

A wolf demon approached and untied the rat demon. The rat demon stood up and, not daring to delay, led him into the cave. After twisting and turning in the darkness, they finally arrived at a gloomy cage.

This is a prison inside a cave, with simple wooden fences, dry grass on the ground, and torches hanging on the walls, barely illuminating the dark cave.

Chapter 142 Female Clan Chief Ziyangcai

The prison held seven or eight rat demons, most of whom were clearly female. Although most of them had not fully transformed and retained their half-rat, half-human form, their bodies were noticeably slimmer, and their yellow fur was softer and brighter, making them look cuter.

At this moment, they were all listless and dispirited, clearly living in dire straits, and probably not far from death.

As Yun Chu'an walked over, several of the rat demons twitched their noses twice, then looked up at him.

Upon seeing this stranger, the rat demons inside became quite excited: "Who are you?"

"Stranger? What brings you here?"

"Were you sent by that snake demon?"

What is Ban Zhi doing?

……

Inside the cage, several humanoid standing rats chattered excitedly, asking questions incessantly.

Yun Chuan coughed lightly and continued, "Ban Zhi has been killed by me. He led a group to attack my family. This is our revenge."

As he spoke, the rat demons in the cage fell silent. They all knew perfectly well why the giant rat had staged a coup and imprisoned them, and the result of their rampage and killings was that those seeking revenge had come knocking.

No matter how you look at it, these people are all doomed to die today.

A dark sense of despair enveloped the hearts of every rat demon, leaving them speechless for a moment. After a while, one of the female rat demons looked up, her voice filled with anguish, and said, "So, you've come to kill us, haven't you?"

Yun Chu'an glanced at her using the Qi Observation Technique and discovered that she was also at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He then concluded that she must be the "eldest sister" who had previously led this rat demon family, Zi Yangcai.

He shook his head and said, "No, quite the opposite."

He glanced around and said, "I'm here to release you."

In an instant, the despair vanished, and a glimmer of hope seemed to illuminate the prison. The rat demons looked up, as if they saw a glimmer of hope, yet they were also filled with confusion, instinctively suspecting that behind this seemingly beautiful promise lay a darker conspiracy.

Yun Chu'an was not in a hurry and patiently explained to them one by one: "I have learned from them that it was Ban Zhi who insisted on doing things his own way and imprisoned you all."

He pointed to the little mouse demon leading the way beside him, who nodded repeatedly. With this support, his words became more convincing: "The snake race feeds on the rat race. Even if cultivators can overcome their nature, it is hard to guarantee that these inherently cruel and selfish snake demons will not go back on their word."

"Coincidentally, that snake demon led people to harass my family and attack my allies, so I don't get along with them very well."

His gaze was intense as he looked at the rat demons in front of him, who were staring at each other in bewilderment: "So, perhaps we can become friends."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and tore open the cage door. The cage was made of wood and was not sturdy. However, the rat demons inside had their magic sealed and were not receiving supplies. They were so weak that they could barely walk, so they could not escape the cage.

Yun Chu'an was aware of their situation and did not make things difficult for them. Instead, he said, "I come on behalf of my family to find reliable allies. If you are willing to form an alliance with us to deal with the snake demon family, please nod your heads. I will lift the restrictions on you and heal your injuries. From now on, we will be allies on the same side."

He made this promise, and those around him were somewhat tempted.

In reality, they didn't believe Yun Chu'an's words so easily, but during their days in prison, they hadn't eaten or drunk anything, their cultivation was sealed, and their daily lives were extremely bitter and painful.

In this situation, many people are about to reach their breaking point and are thinking about simply giving up on the job, or at least gaining some freedom.

Now, Yun Chu'an stepped forward and offered them a seemingly better option, and many rat demons immediately began to deceive themselves and comply with his demands.

The many rat demons in the prison were all tempted, but they did not dare to respond rashly. They all turned to look at their true leader, Ziyangcai. Most of the time, she was the only one in the family who had ideas and dared to make decisions.

In this situation, the former leader of the rat clan remained remarkably calm: "May I ask which family you belong to? How far are you from here? We are very close to the snake demon family. To rashly confront them would be tantamount to courting death."

Yun Chuan said, "I come from the Huai Shan family. You may have heard of us. Our family head, Granny Huai Shan, is a Golden Core cultivator who is indifferent to worldly affairs. She usually just cultivates in seclusion and does not want to get involved in outside affairs. If the snake demon family had not taken the initiative to harass us this time, Granny would not have intended to be an enemy of them."

"Don't worry, I'm only here on orders from my family to find allies, not to demand that you start a war immediately. As long as you agree, we can maintain contact, share information, and find out where the snake demon family has weaknesses that we can exploit, that's enough."

He fabricated this story to reassure them as much as possible: After saying this, he didn't forget to make promises to them: "Don't worry, that snake demon family won't be arrogant for long. They are greedy and cruel, and have already offended the people of Qingyun Sect and Buddhism."

"The Weihe Dragon Clan has also taken action. These guys may seem to be at their peak now, but they are nothing more than withered bones in a tomb. They can be captured completely in no time."

He stared into Ziyangcai's eyes, carefully observing the changes in the calm rat-woman's expression. Knowing she was pondering, he spoke these words in an attempt to move her heart.

The information he provided was a mixture of truth and falsehood, yet it was presented logically and with evidence. Many of these people had heard some of this information before they went to prison, and hearing him say it now made it seem even more credible.

In addition, they had long been fed up with life in prison. Suddenly, countless eager eyes fell on Ziyangcai, and everyone was waiting for her to speak and agree to the matter on behalf of the entire family.

Ziyangcai still had many concerns in her heart. She couldn't convince herself to trust the human she had only met once. Moreover, she had been imprisoned in this prison for some time and didn't know what was happening outside. It was really not good to make a decision rashly.

But right now, after thinking it over, she realized that she couldn't do anything or get any more real and reliable information.

It's better to agree to his request first, and then search for information and make a judgment yourself after we get out.

With this thought in mind, she looked into Yun Chu'an's eyes and nodded gently: "Alright, our family is willing to form an alliance with the Huai Shan family, advance and retreat together in terms of information and intelligence, and fight against that greedy snake demon family together."

Chapter 143 The side effects of the tonic are...

Yun Chu'an's face broke into a big smile. He stepped forward, reached out and shook Ziyangcai's hand, and said, "Then, welcome to join the Snake-Slaying Alliance's united front!"

He bluffed and made a grand claim for himself, giving a long speech, and finally managed to convince the rat demon in front of him.

Then, he chanted incantations and performed hand seals, releasing the rat demons from their restraints one by one, allowing their long-dried and stagnant spiritual energy to circulate again and restore their mobility.

The rat demons began to breathe deeply, quickly restoring their spiritual power. Yun Chu'an then took out dry rations and spirit stones from his storage bag as a gift for his allies, distributing them to them. His generosity surprised the rat demons, who were all grateful for the generosity of a member of a large family.

Ziyangcai accepted the food he offered, thanked him, and after eating, she began to silently circulate her internal energy to heal her injuries.

But after only one cycle, she suddenly frowned, clutched her chest, and showed obvious signs of pain.

Noticing her expression, Yun Chu'an asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you injured in the heart?"
