Chapter 232: I want to seize Bihu Mountain and make it the family’s sacred place!
“Crimson Sun Golden Wheel! Break!”
Yu Jinyang looked at the Symbol Array that enveloped all directions, with the Five Elements Wind-Fire Wheel rotating and dark light covering it. He dared not hold back and immediately unleashed his Natal Spiritual Artifact.
His Natal Golden Wheel was a crimson-gold circular wheel.
This circular wheel burst forth with ten thousand rays of golden light, like the rising sun, striking heavily on the Symbol Array.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
“Boom!”
Three thousand six hundred Mysterious True Tokens permeated with dark light, shooting out, accompanied by the spiritual light of the Talisman, directly clashing with the Golden Wheel’s attack, creating a heavy sound.
“Crimson Sun Golden Wheel, it really is you, Yu Jinyang!”
“The Sect has ordered that within three years of the great war, all Family forces should develop steadily and not engage in aggression, conflicts, or wars!”
“Yet your Yu Family has repeatedly trespassed on my Qingzhu Mountain, disregarding the Sect’s rules. I will definitely report this matter to Qingyun Sect!”
Lu Yuanzhong arrived overhead, saw the Crimson Sun Golden Wheel, and immediately shouted loudly at Yu Jinyang.
He wanted to use the prestige of Qingyun Sect to deter the three members of the Yu Family.
“These methods…”
Old Ancestor Bai, Bai Yunyang, saw the Symbol Array laid down by Lu Changsheng, trapping the three members of the Yu Family by himself. His heart was shocked, and he looked at Lu Changsheng with a wary expression.
He hadn’t expected that Lu Changsheng, having just broken through to Foundation Establishment, would possess such astonishing methods.
Now that Qingzhu Mountain had Lu Changsheng, and once Lu Miaoge also broke through to Foundation Establishment, the Lu Family would likely rise completely.
However, seeing the hundreds of Talismans forming the Symbol Array, Bai Yunyang couldn’t help but smack his tongue, feeling a pang of heartache.
So many Talismans were probably worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
These methods were powerful, but they were simply a money sink!
Most people simply couldn’t afford it!
However, the current battle situation reduced the fear in his heart.
He immediately brought out his Spiritual Artifact, preparing to act.
“Rise!”
Lu Changsheng’s expression was calm as he looked at the three people in the array. He formed hand seals, his voice indifferent.
In an instant.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Between heaven and earth, the Talismans burst forth with light, continuously operating, shrinking the covered area.
Large patches of raging fire surged, wind and thunder moved in unison, striking with full force towards Yu Jinyang and the other two.
“Boom, boom, boom—”
Facing such an offensive, Yu Jinyang, Yu Yuanshan, and Yu Ningjun dared not underestimate it. Their magical power surged frantically, intending to break through the array and leave with all their might.
However, facing such a surging and powerful offensive, they were simply unable to resist.
“Indeed, these three are all useless Foundation Establishment Cultivators.”
“Even if I lowered the level of the Talismans, I still overestimated them.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the three people in the Symbol Array and thought to himself.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, this matter is our Yu Family’s fault.”
“We are willing to apologize and leave now. Please, Fellow Daoist, stop!”
Yu Jinyang shouted loudly.
Under the Symbol Array’s offensive, the three of them were completely helpless, only able to continuously parry.
Once their magical power was exhausted, they would perish within this Symbol Array.
Even if they persisted until the Symbol Array’s power ran out, they would surely be severely injured and would not be a match for Lu Yuanzhong, Bai Yunyang, or Lu Changsheng.
“This!?”
“What a terrifying Symbol Array!”
Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang, who were preparing to act but couldn’t intervene, looked at this scene with extreme shock.
They had originally thought this Symbol Array merely trapped the three members of the Yu Family.
But they hadn’t expected the Symbol Array’s offensive to be so terrifying.
In just a moment, it made Yu Jinyang, the always domineering Yu Family Old Ancestor and a Great Cultivator at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, speak up and bow his head, willing to apologize.
“Hiss!”
“This, this, this…”
“Grand Elder is mighty!”
“Uncle is mighty!”
Everyone in Qingzhu Mountain looked at this scene, first widening their eyes in disbelief.
But the next moment, they were all excited and cheered loudly.
A year and a half ago, Lu Miaofeng’s Foundation Establishment had left a knot in their hearts.
Today, the Yu Family’s renewed attack had made them feel utterly stifled and enraged.
Now, seeing Lu Changsheng suppress the three members of the Yu Family alone, forcing Yu Jinyang, the Yu Family Old Ancestor, to bow his head, they felt an immense sense of satisfaction and excitement.
“Is Lang Jun so powerful?”
“Is my father so powerful?”
“Father!”
Lu Changsheng’s wives, concubines, sons, and daughters looked at this scene, somewhat bewildered.
They hadn’t expected their husband, their father, to be so incredibly powerful.
After all, to them, Foundation Establishment Cultivators were lofty and beyond their understanding.
And Lu Changsheng’s usual gentle nature made it impossible to discern the majesty of a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!
“Lu Changsheng, if you dare to kill us, my Bihu Mountain will be irreconcilable with your Qingzhu Mountain!”
Within the Symbol Array, Yu Ningjun, holding a copper staff, was in a miserable and disheveled state, roaring fiercely.
However, Lu Changsheng turned a deaf ear to the roars from within the Symbol Array, forming hand seals and continuing his furious bombardment.
If he weren’t afraid of making too much noise and affecting Lu Miaoge, who was currently undergoing Foundation Establishment, he would have directly detonated the Symbol Array and ended the battle.
“Lang Jun, leave them a complete corpse!”
Just then, a gentle and clear voice rang out.
Ling Zixiao transformed into a streak of light and flew out from Qingzhu Mountain.
“Hmm? Foundation Establishment!?”
“How is it that Qingzhu Mountain still has another Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!?”
Bai Yunyang was startled.
He hadn’t expected that there was still an unknown Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator within Qingzhu Mountain!
He looked at Lu Changsheng, his heart churning with immense shock.
“Isn’t that Changsheng’s Dao Companion!”
“The Grand Elder’s Dao Companion is actually a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!?”
Everyone from the Lu Family watching the battle was startled to see Ling Zixiao flying in the air.
They hadn’t expected Ling Zixiao to be a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
Normally, Ling Zixiao stayed secluded, and most of them had only seen her once at the family banquet.
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng was a little surprised to hear Ling Zixiao’s words.
But the next moment, he immediately nodded, formed hand seals, and changed the Symbol Array’s offensive.
The remaining seven thousand two hundred Mysterious True Tokens of the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Strategy shot out.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
These Mysterious True Tokens connected with the Qi of the Talismans, like countless magical arrows, shooting out with astonishing power.
“Puff, puff, puff—”
“Clang, clang, clang—”
Power permeated, and within the Symbol Array, sounds of blades piercing flesh and metal clashing rang out.
“Ah!!! Old Ancestor!!!!”
Within the Symbol Array, Yu Ningjun, the newly promoted Foundation Establishment Cultivator, was now covered in blood, scorched black, emitting a mournful wail, about to fall from the sky.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, as long as you are willing to stop and let us go, my Bihu Mountain is willing to offer compensation for this matter!”
Yu Jinyang shouted loudly.
His voice was already somewhat weak.
These words made Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang look at each other, both speechless.
Not long ago, they had felt completely lacking in confidence and fearful when facing the three members of the Yu Family.
But at this moment, Lu Changsheng alone had suppressed all three.
He forced Yu Jinyang, the Yu Family Old Ancestor, to beg for mercy.
Such combat power, such strength, even with the aid of Talismans, was incredibly astonishing!
However, seeing Yu Jinyang in such a state, a feeling of satisfaction involuntarily arose in their hearts!
After all, the Yu Family had been quite domineering towards them in the past.
“Boom, boom, boom—”
Lu Changsheng remained silent, his expression still indifferent, forming hand seals to keep the Symbol Array attacking, intending to suppress and kill the two.
“Ah, ah, ah—”
“Lu Changsheng, do you truly intend to commit such an act of extermination! To be irreconcilable with my Bihu Mountain!?”
Seeing that Yu Ningjun and Yu Yuanshan were already failing, Yu Jinyang, holding the Golden Wheel, had bloodshot eyes and roared in anguish.
“Nine-Nine Mysterious True, command!”
Lu Changsheng said coldly, forming hand seals.
If he weren’t afraid of the commotion and also wanted to leave the three with complete corpses, how could Yu Jinyang still be able to clamor.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
“Puff, puff, puff—”
The Nine-Nine Mysterious True Tokens connected with the Talismans, shooting out and piercing through Yu Jinyang’s body within the Symbol Array, finally extinguishing his vitality.
“I am unwilling!”
Yu Jinyang’s eyes were wide, his face filled with unwillingness.
He had never imagined that a single decision of his would lead to him, his nephew, and his great-grandson all being buried in Qingzhu Mountain.
“This!”
Everyone present watched as the Symbol Array dissipated, and Yu Jinyang, Yu Yuanshan, and Yu Ningjun turned into corpses, all too shocked to speak.
Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators!
Three Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, who were usually high and mighty, were now suppressed and killed by Lu Changsheng alone!
Even though they had seen the Symbol Array suppress and bombard the three fiercely.
But seeing the three turn into corpses at this moment, they still couldn’t quite believe it.
After all, these were the Old Ancestors of a family, Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators who were usually high and mighty!
“Lang Jun, aren’t you planning to establish a Family force?”
“Now that Miaoge has broken through to Foundation Establishment, Qingzhu Mountain has someone to guard it.”
“The Bihu Mountain Yu Family took the initiative to attack today. Since that’s the case, we can take Bihu Mountain and make it our Family’s Spiritual Vein.”
At this moment, Ling Zixiao stepped forward, a faint smile on her face, her voice clear and crisp.
Everyone else present was incredibly shocked.
But she felt nothing about the death of three Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, her expression calm.
“Establish a Family power?”
“Take Bihu Mountain and make it our Family’s Spiritual Vein?”
Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang were both startled upon hearing this, and looked at Lu Changsheng.
They hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to be preparing to establish his own Family power.
Upon hearing this, the two had various emotions in their hearts.
“Old Ancestor, now that the Yu Family’s crisis has been resolved, I wish to take Bihu Mountain and make it our Family’s Spiritual Vein, establishing the Bihu Mountain Lu Family.”
Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Yuanzhong and said calmly.
Ling Zixiao had already transmitted a message to him earlier.
They could take advantage of the Yu Family’s three members initiating the attack, and with righteousness, legitimately seize Bihu Mountain to serve as the Family’s Spiritual Vein.
The Spiritual Vein at Bihu Mountain has mountains and water, an elegant environment, excellent conditions, and a larger area than Qingzhu Mountain, making it a very good Family Spiritual Vein.
Moreover, taking Bihu Mountain would also allow them to naturally acquire all of Bihu Mountain’s resources.
This was much better than purchasing a Family Spiritual Vein.
Or acquiring a Spiritual Vein blessed land from Qingyun Sect, which would be several times better.
He also thought this suggestion was good and planned to do so.
“Good, the Yu Family has been too overbearing, repeatedly offending our Qingzhu Mountain. We will march to Bihu Mountain and take it!”
“At that time, Bihu Mountain will be your Family’s Spiritual Vein, Changsheng!”
Lu Yuanzhong heard this, pondered for a moment, and then directly agreed.
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s methods and knowing that Lu Changsheng intended to establish his own Family, he also knew that his Qingzhu Mountain, this pond, could not retain Lu Changsheng, this Dragon.
Since that was the case, he would do Lu Changsheng a favor!
In the future, the two Families would maintain good relations for generations, which would benefit both sides.
“Fellow Daoist Lu wants to take Bihu Mountain. If there’s anything you need help with, just say the word. My Bai Family is also willing to contribute.”
At this moment, Bai Yunyang, who was nearby, immediately spoke up.
He knew that Lu Changsheng’s taking of Bihu Mountain was already a foregone conclusion.
Under these circumstances, stepping forward to express his stance and contribute some effort would also be considered befriending Lu Changsheng.
Moreover, he was also happy to see Lu Changsheng establish his own Family.
In the future, the three Families could form an alliance and help each other.
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll trouble Fellow Daoist Bai.”
Lu Changsheng nodded, not refusing.
Since he was going to take Bihu Mountain and establish a Family, he was naturally willing to maintain relations with the surrounding Families.
“No time to lose, Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Bai, please prepare yourselves briefly, and then we will head directly to Bihu Mountain.”
Ling Zixiao, with her hair neatly coiled and dressed in a blue skirt, her demeanor dignified, looked at Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang, smiling elegantly.
Upon hearing this, both of them couldn’t help but size up Ling Zixiao before them.
Her elegant face was pale, lacking color, and her aura was weak and chaotic, making her appear extremely delicate.
However, her elegant and composed expression, and the grace in her every movement, instantly made both of them feel that this woman was not simple.
Especially since Ling Zixiao was too confident!
It was as if taking Bihu Mountain would be effortless!
“Good!”
Lu Yuanzhong also didn’t hesitate upon hearing this.
He immediately transformed into a streak of light and returned to Qingzhu Mountain to convey this news.
He announced that the Yu Family had been too overbearing, repeatedly offending Qingzhu Mountain, and today, they would attack Bihu Mountain together with the Grand Elder, Fellow Daoist Ling, and the Bai Family!
“I’ll go inform Lu Miaoge.”
Lu Changsheng said to Ling Zixiao.
Lu Miaoge was still undergoing Foundation Establishment Breakthrough and couldn’t be distracted.
Now that he was going to take Bihu Mountain, he still had to inform Lu Miaoge so she wouldn’t worry.
After speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and returned to his Immortal Cave in Qingzhu Valley.
“Lu Miaoge, the people from the Yu Family have been dealt with by me. I intend to go with Old Ancestor to take Bihu Mountain and make it our Family’s Spiritual Vein. You can focus on Foundation Establishment at Lu.”
Lu Changsheng saw Lu Miaoge, who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, still condensing her Dao foundation, and spoke.
Lu Miaoge would still need a few days to condense her Dao foundation and complete her Breakthrough.
Furthermore, Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment also required time to stabilize her Realm.
He didn’t have time to stay here and guard her constantly.
However, he could tell that as long as no one disturbed her or any accidents occurred, Lu Miaoge’s Foundation Establishment Breakthrough was just a matter of course.
“Good, Changsheng, go in peace, don’t worry about me.”
Although Lu Miaoge was surprised by what had just happened outside, she couldn’t afford to be distracted or think too much. She focused all her energy on condensing her Dao foundation and transmitted a message to Lu Changsheng with her Divine Sense.
“Mm.”
Lu Changsheng nodded, transformed into a streak of light, and left, arriving at Lu.
He announced that he was preparing to go to Bihu Mountain to take it.
He also called upon his several Qi Refining Third Layer children to accompany him.
It wasn’t to have these children participate in battle or anything.
It was simply to let them witness the cruelty of the Cultivation World.
“Lang Jun…”
Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhenzhen, and others were worried about the children when they heard this.
They felt that the children were still too young and didn’t need to go along.
“Yun’er, Miaohuan, no need to worry. You can come with me and just watch over these children.”
“Zhenzhen, Ping’an, you two stay at Lu and watch over the other children.”
Lu Changsheng spoke directly.
He then took out a Spiritual Boat from his Storage Pouch and gave it to Lu Miaoyun.
At the same time, he handed the second-tier Puppet he had built earlier to Lu Miaohuan, telling her that she could control the Puppet if there was danger.
“Brother, I want to go too.”
At this moment, Little Bai Ling heard Lu Changsheng’s words and bravely spoke up.
“Little Ling’er, aren’t you afraid?”
Lu Changsheng smiled upon hearing this.
Although Bai Ling had a Qi Refining Sixth Layer cultivation, in his opinion, Bai Ling’s temperament was simply not suited for combat or experiencing such scenes.
“I want to help Brother…”
Bai Ling mustered her courage, but her voice was still a little timid.
“Alright, if that’s the case, then let’s go together.”
“You’ll go with Sister Yun’er later.”
Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded upon hearing this, then spoke.
And at the same time.
Bihu Mountain Yu Family.
Outside the Yu Family Ancestral Hall.
An old man with gray hair, dressed in a lake-blue robe, was leaning back in a reclining chair, idly yawning.
Suddenly, a series of exceptionally crisp sounds came from inside the Ancestral Hall.
“Hmm, what’s going on?!”
The old man, hearing the continuous sounds, instantly jolted awake, quickly got up, and walked into the Ancestral Hall.
As a Foundation Establishment Family, the Bihu Mountain Yu Family couldn’t equip every Family member with a life jade token or Soul Lantern.
However, the several core important figures of the Family would still be equipped with a life jade token.
At this moment, the continuous shattering of jade tokens immediately made him panic immensely.
“This!?”
As soon as he entered the Ancestral Hall, he saw the floor covered with fragments of jade stones on the table in the silent hall.
Originally, there were six life jade tokens, but only three remained.
“This, this, this, how is this possible?!”
The old man looked at the three shattered jade tokens, his entire body felt as if struck by lightning, trembling all over, his steps faltered, and he fell to the ground, his face filled with disbelief.
“This is bad! This is bad!”
The next moment, he scrambled out of the Ancestral Hall and informed everyone of this news.
Qingzhu Mountain.
About half an hour later.
The Lu Family completed its assembly.
The number of people this time was not many.
Apart from Lu Changsheng, Lu Yuanzhong, Bai Yunyang, and Ling Zixiao, the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
There were only two Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators.
Twenty-nine Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivators.
And Lu Changsheng’s four Qi Refining Third Layer children.
However, in Lu Changsheng’s opinion, it was already enough.
These people were going to deal with some matters, boost morale, and go through the motions.
“Let’s go!”
Lu Changsheng, Ling Zixiao, and Lu Yuanzhong exchanged glances, then immediately shouted: “To war!”
Immediately, the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ Spiritual Boats led the way at the very front.
The other thirty-five people, riding three Spiritual Ships behind, transformed into streaks of light and flew towards Bihu Mountain.
