Chapter 239: Yun Wanshang: Why did he come to Qingyun Sect!

Three days later.

“Qingyun Sect.”

Lu Changsheng gazed at the Qingyun Sect nestled within the continuous mountain range ahead, where clouds and mist swirled and rosy light permeated, and let out a soft breath.

Since failing the immortal sect assessment at Qingyun Sect all those years ago, he hadn’t returned to Qingyun Sect in over twenty years.

When he was a mortal, looking at the Qingyun Sect, he only felt it was an earthly paradise, incredibly awe-inspiring.

Now, having spent so many years in the cultivation world and seen small family forces, large and small markets, and immortal cities, Lu Changsheng finally felt the grandeur and vastness of the Qingyun Sect.

Under the bright sunlight, a massive formation, resembling an inverted bowl of white jade and glazed tile, emitted ten thousand rays of rosy light and countless streaks of auspicious color, enveloping dozens of mountain peaks.

Vaguely visible on the towering, straight peaks were palaces, pavilions, and several waterfalls like jade dragons cascading down the mountains, a magnificent sight.

In the deepest part of the mountains, amidst the swirling clouds and mist, a floating palace was faintly visible, like a city in the heavens, instilling awe and a sense of invisible pressure in those who beheld it, making them feel as insignificant as ants.

“Most family forces and markets use large formations to shroud and conceal their internal situations, making it difficult for others to see clearly.”

“Qingyun Sect, however, openly displays itself as a deterrent.”

Lu Changsheng sighed with emotion.

He then controlled his flying shuttle, slowing down, and flew towards the gate of Qingyun Sect.

“Who goes there?”

In front of the Qingyun Sect gate, two disciples guarding the mountain saw Lu Changsheng and immediately stepped forward to question him.

They were both at the Qi Refining stage, and seeing Lu Changsheng’s Foundation Establishment aura, they were quite polite.

“This Lu intends to establish a family under the jurisdiction of Qingyun, and has come specifically to the Upper Sect for registration and filing.”

Lu Changsheng cupped his hands and said.

“Establishing a family, registration and filing?”

Hearing this, the two nodded, and immediately asked Lu Changsheng to state all his information one by one, so they could report it for him.

“Lu Changsheng, Bi Lake Mountain?”

“Senior is the Lu Changsheng who killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators alone!”

One of the disciples, upon hearing Lu Changsheng mention Bi Lake Mountain, immediately showed a look of surprise.

The news of Lu Changsheng killing the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Yu family and establishing Bi Lake Mountain had caused quite a stir.

Bi Lake Mountain was not far from Qingyun Sect, so this disciple had heard about it.

“That would be this Lu.”

Lu Changsheng replied with a smile.

“Alright, please wait patiently, Senior Lu. I will go and report now.”

After hearing this, this Qingyun Sect disciple became even more polite.

After all, there was a difference between Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Someone like Lu Changsheng was clearly not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Although they were immortal sect disciples, their hope of breaking through to Foundation Establishment in the future was not high.

If they could get to know such a person and leave a good impression, it might be helpful in the future.

“Thank you for your trouble.”

Lu Changsheng heard this, took out two mid-grade spirit stones, and bowed slightly.

He asked how long this sort of thing usually took.

The other party said that this matter fell under the purview of the Records Hall.

If the Elder in charge of records was busy, it might take two or three days.

If not busy, it could usually be done on the same day.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded and then waited patiently to the side.

During this time, he saw some Qingyun Sect disciples going out or returning.

He wondered if Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing were in the sect.

Although he didn’t interact with them much.

But since he had come to Qingyun Sect, he should at least meet them and catch up.

And his brother-in-law, Xia Chaoyang.

His concubine, Xia Zhiyue, had told him before that Xia Chaoyang had broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

“After the registration and filing are complete, I’ll send a message to meet up.”

Lu Changsheng let out a soft breath, planning to finish his main business first.

Meanwhile.

Little Jing Mountain.

Inside a cave dwelling.

“I received news that Lu Changsheng has already arrived at Qingyun Sect.”

“Don’t worry, as long as you cultivate the technique this Venerable One gave you, this second-order spiritual contract can be dissolved on its own.”

“At most, there will be a small backlash, but it won’t cause your cultivation realm to drop.”

“As long as this Venerable One deals with Lu Changsheng and obtains his fortuitous encounter, I will help you recover then.”

The black-robed man looked at Yu Ninghu before him, his dark, stiff face cracking into a smile that appeared ferocious and terrifying.

“Yes.”

Yu Ninghu took a deep breath and said softly.

He knew he had no choice.

The other party wasn’t discussing with him at all, but giving orders.

Moreover, ever since he was forced to consume the corpse seed by the other party that day, he felt that some change had occurred in his body, making it somewhat uncontrollable.

“Circulate the technique!”

Seeing this, the black-robed man directly slapped Yu Ninghu’s back. Black energy permeated his palm, causing Yu Ninghu to begin circulating the technique.

Qingyun Sect.

Caiyun Peak.

In the steaming spiritual pool, a fairy with a snowy white shoulder exposed and hair like a waterfall sat in meditation, bathing.

After a long time, Yun Wanshang opened her beautiful eyes and rose from the spiritual pool.

Her blue-black hair, soaked by the spring water, clung to the frosty, snowy skin of her back, reaching down to her rounded, snow-white waist and hips.

This created a stark contrast between her delicate, easily broken snowy white skin and her dark, beautiful hair.

Her perfectly graceful and beautiful body stood tall and slender, neither too plump nor too thin, and the sparkling spring water sliding down her snowy white skin reflected each other, exuding an aura of holiness and nobility everywhere.

Her slender, rounded legs were straight and long, elegantly stepping out of the spiritual pool.

Her exquisite jade feet were like carved jade and piled snow, fair as jade, with crystal-clear nails on her toes dyed with balsam flower juice, moist and alluring.

She gently raised her fair hand, put on a plain white bandeau lining, slipped on a pair of trousers over her moist, jade-like legs, and added a colorful embroidered cloud-patterned skirt on the outside, making her appear entirely dignified and beautiful.

“Hmm?”

Arriving at her bedroom, Yun Wanshang saw a palm-sized jade pendant on her dressing table, engraved with cloud and mist patterns, with a rosy glow flowing within it.

She looked at the jade pendant, frowned slightly, and her heart skipped a beat.

This jade pendant was a pair with the He Guang Tong Chen Jade she had given to Lu Changsheng back then.

The two jade pendants had a mutual connection.

This was also why she had given the He Guang Tong Chen Jade to Lu Changsheng back then, indicating that in times of life-or-death crisis, he could activate the jade pendant to call for her help.

Otherwise, like ordinary communication tools, they had distance limitations.

If they were too far apart, they couldn’t sense each other at all.

“Why did he come to Qingyun Sect?”

Looking at the rosy glow flowing within the jade pendant, Yun Wanshang knew that Lu Changsheng should be within a hundred miles of Qingyun Sect, or had come to Qingyun Sect.

Only within this distance would her Ji Yue Qing Feng Jade have a reaction.

Yun Wanshang didn’t pay it any mind and put the jade pendant into her storage ring.

Ever since she learned about the matter between her disciple Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng, she no longer wanted any connection with Lu Changsheng.

She had abandoned the idea of cultivating Lu Changsheng and forming a Dao companion relationship with him to cultivate the Spiritual Qi together.

Yun Wanshang sat in front of the dressing table, coiled her hair into a bun, and inserted a step-shake hairpin diagonally.

Then, with fragrant steps, she walked out of the main hall, transformed into a divine rainbow, and arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall.

As a Core Formation True Person of Qingyun Sect and the Peak Master of Caiyun Peak, she also served as the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Due to the demonic path incident, Qingyun Sect had captured many demonic cultivators over the years.

For demonic cultivators, Qingyun Sect naturally didn’t just directly kill them.

Such cultivators held many secrets, related information, or techniques, incantations, and treasures.

The Law Enforcement Hall was responsible for interrogating these individuals.

After their value was completely squeezed out, these demonic cultivators would be either executed or used as laborers, depending on the circumstances.

Qingyun Sect.

Records Hall.

Meng Xiangu held a jade slip, looking at the various sect affairs.

“Lu Changsheng of Qingzhu Mountain, establishing a family at Bi Lake Mountain?”

“Hmm? Lu Changsheng, Bi Lake Mountain?”

At this moment, Meng Xiangu saw a piece of information in her hand, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

She then thoughtfully took out a jade book and opened it.

There, a lifelike map appeared in the jade book.

Her mind stirred slightly, causing the map to change, and Bi Lake Mountain appeared.

Above it was information about the Yu family of Bi Lake Mountain.

Looking at the information on the Yu family of Bi Lake Mountain, she spoke to the disciple next to her, asking, “How did this Yu family of Bi Lake Mountain change hands?”

“Reporting to Elder Meng, as far as this disciple knows, the ancestor of the Yu family of Bi Lake Mountain took advantage of the Lu family of Qingzhu Mountain’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment to cause trouble…”

“This Lu Changsheng then killed the three Foundation Establishment ancestors of the Yu family alone, and subsequently allied with the Bai family of Hundred Birds Lake to demand an explanation, ultimately forcing the Yu family to give Bi Lake Mountain as compensation…”

The disciple in the Records Hall spoke, explaining the situation.

“Lu Changsheng, killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators alone!”

Upon hearing this, Meng Xiangu’s face immediately sank and turned cold.

Because of her grandson Meng Yibai’s matter, she had always had someone secretly keeping an eye on Xiao Xiyue.

During this time, she learned that Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue had an unusual relationship, so she had investigated Lu Changsheng.

Seeing that he was just the son-in-law of a small family who had just broken through to Foundation Establishment, she hadn’t paid him any mind.

Now, hearing that Lu Changsheng had actually suppressed and killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators alone, she immediately became suspicious.

She suspected that Lu Changsheng had killed her grandson Meng Yibai.

After all, she had been paying attention to Xiao Xiyue for so many years and had only seen Lu Changsheng and the rogue cultivator Han Li getting relatively close to Xiao Xiyue.

Especially Lu Changsheng!

Her daughter could actually recognize Xiao Xiyue as her godmother!

Originally, Lu Changsheng was just the son-in-law of a small family who had just broken through to Foundation Establishment, and she hadn’t taken him seriously.

But now, she immediately suspected that Lu Changsheng was hiding his true strength!

The person who had broken through to Foundation Establishment with Xiao Xiyue back then could very well be Lu Changsheng!

Otherwise, how could the son-in-law of a small family possess such ability?

He had just broken through to Foundation Establishment and was able to kill three Foundation Establishment great cultivators!

Immediately, Meng Xiangu’s expression turned cold, and she said, “Qingyun Sect has a rule that within three years, no conflicts or wars are allowed between any family forces under its jurisdiction!”

“What’s going on with this Lu Changsheng? How dare he openly violate the rules and forcibly seize and occupy the spiritual land of another family!”

Meng Xiangu’s aged face was full of authority, and she spoke in a cold voice.

Although it was just suspicion, since it concerned the revenge for her grandson, she was unwilling to let it go.

Moreover, she had always been hesitant about seeking revenge.

She was wary of the fake Core Formation or Core Formation master behind Lu Changsheng.

She was worried about offending Xiao Xiyue.

But now, Lu Changsheng had walked right into her hands. She could completely use the name and rules of Qingyun Sect, taking this matter as an excuse, to apprehend Lu Changsheng.

At that time, she would naturally know whether Lu Changsheng had done it or not.

If Lu Changsheng hadn’t done it, then so be it.

If Lu Changsheng had indeed done it, she could not only avenge her grandson.

She also wouldn’t have to worry or fear the True Person behind Lu Changsheng.

After all, would the other party dare to come to Qingyun Sect and act presumptuously?

“Uh…”

Upon hearing this, the disciple’s face immediately showed a bit of surprise, wanting to say that the Yu family had violated the rules first.

But looking at Meng Xiangu’s appearance, he immediately swallowed the words in his mouth.

After all, there was no real boundary for this kind of thing.

As long as it wasn’t too big or exaggerated, Qingyun Sect generally couldn’t be bothered to manage such matters.

Even if they were to manage it, this matter wouldn’t fall under the purview of the Records Hall, but would be decided by the Law Enforcement Hall.

“Elder, this disciple is also unaware.”

The disciple lowered his head and said.

“Hmph, the Law Enforcement Hall is completely inactive in such matters.”

“I will report to the Law Enforcement Hall right now and have the law enforcement team apprehend this person as a warning to others!”

Meng Xiangu snorted coldly and said.

She then transformed into a divine rainbow and headed towards the Law Enforcement Hall to report the matter.

“Could it be that this Lu Changsheng had offended Elder Meng before?”

“Or does this Elder Meng have connections with Bi Lake Mountain?”

Several disciples in the Records Hall looked at each other, guessing in their hearts.

They were well aware that ever since this Elder Meng’s grandson was inexplicably killed, her personality had become unpredictable.

Therefore, none of them dared to provoke her.

Moreover, no one would offend their own elder for a Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator.

They only felt pity for Lu Changsheng, who had finally obtained a fortuitous encounter and achieved something, preparing to establish his own family, only to run into Elder Meng’s bad luck.

Outside the Qingyun Sect gate.

Lu Changsheng was still waiting for a reply.

Just then, two imposing Foundation Establishment cultivators wearing Qingyun robes came to the gate and said, “Who is Lu Changsheng?”

“I am Lu Changsheng.”

Lu Changsheng heard this and cupped his hands, saying.

But looking at these two, he was somewhat puzzled.

Both of them had sharp, unusual auras.

Especially on their disciple robes, there was a ‘Fa’ (Law) character.

They didn’t seem like people who would be doing registration and filing.

“You are Lu Changsheng. Come with us?”

One of the Foundation Establishment cultivators heard this, his gaze cold, looked at Lu Changsheng, nodded, and said.

“May I ask who the two Daoists are?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, realizing that something was amiss.

Because the words and tone of these two were completely different from the disciples before.

Their eyes carried a hint of judgment, and their tone was somewhat condescending.

“Chu Tiange of the Qingyun Sect Law Enforcement Hall!”

“Qingyun Sect has a rule that within three years of the great war, all family forces under its jurisdiction are prohibited from having conflicts or wars. Someone has reported you for forcibly seizing and occupying the spiritual land of another family, so please come with us.”

One of the Foundation Establishment cultivators said.

“Someone reported me for forcibly seizing and occupying the spiritual land of another family?”

Lu Changsheng’s face sank slightly.

He took Bi Lake Mountain under the name of Qingzhu Mountain, occupying the moral high ground.

In order to avoid Qingyun Sect coming and deeming it irregular, he had also used conciliatory methods.

He had Yu Ninghu transfer the property deed of the Bi Lake Mountain spiritual land to him under the guise of compensation.

This set of procedures could be said to be without any issues, legitimate and flawless.

But at this moment, Qingyun Sect was saying that someone had reported him for forcible seizure and occupation.

Lu Changsheng immediately suspected that there was a Yu family descendant within Qingyun Sect who had reported him through some connection.

Otherwise, if this matter was not in accordance with the rules, Qingyun Sect should have come long ago.

How could such a thing happen when he himself came to Qingyun Sect for registration and filing?

“Let’s go.”

The two law enforcement disciples looked at Lu Changsheng and continued to say.

At the same time, chain magical artifacts appeared in their hands, as if they would take action if Lu Changsheng dared to make any unusual moves.

“Alright.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng nodded.

He entered Qingyun Sect with the two law enforcement disciples.

Under these circumstances, fighting with Qingyun Sect disciples was clearly an irrational behavior.

He also wanted to see if someone had reported him or what was going on.

If it was indeed the other party who reported him, and Qingyun Sect was going to punish him, then relying on the Qingyun Token given by True Person Chiyan, he thought he could resolve the matter.
