Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 351: Fake Dan Zhenren is nothing more than this!
A Spirit Boat glowing with a cerulean light passed through Violet Cloud Gorge.
On the Spirit Boat, Lu Changsheng, clad in a black Daoist robe, his figure tall and slender, listened as his son Lu Quanzhen recounted the Secret Realm expedition.
He learned that not only had Lu Ping’an improved, but Lu Quanzhen had also gained a lot.
Now his Foundation was much solidified, and after consolidating it well upon returning, he could prepare to break through to Foundation Establishment.
“Quanzhen, did you encounter Cultivators from the Jin Family?”
Lu Changsheng asked.
He had previously seen the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Golden Dragon Ridge leave in anger, knowing that all six members of the Jin Family had been annihilated in the Secret Realm, and he guessed it was related to his son.
“This was not done by my elder brother and I; it just so happened that Lu Qingshan encountered the Jin Family…”
Lu Quanzhen said.
They had discussed this with Lu Qingshan earlier and learned about the Jin Family’s situation.
He thought to himself, the Jin Family was truly unlucky.
Otherwise, he and Lu Ping’an might not have encountered the Jin Family Cultivators.
“Lu Qingshan.”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, not expecting that the Jin Family Cultivators were actually slain by his son Lu Qingshan alone.
It seemed Lu Qingshan’s strength was even higher than he knew.
After all, repelling six people and killing six people were not the same concept.
“Father, it’s estimated that soon, Lu Qingshan’s matter will be known, and the Jin Family might connect this to Lu.”
Lu Quanzhen looked at Lu Changsheng and said this.
Lu Qingshan’s actions on this trip were very high-profile, making him realize that soon, information about this younger brother would gradually be known and remembered by other Family forces.
If the Jin Family learned that Lu Qingshan was a son of the Bihu Mountain Lu Family, they would certainly suspect and guess about this matter.
However, what he was truly worried about was not this matter.
Rather, it was that Lu had now produced a Lu Qingshan.
If in a few more years, Lu Ping’an emerged prominently.
Then Lu Wangshu, or perhaps some other younger siblings at Lu whom he didn’t yet know about, rose, Lu was afraid that Lu would completely enter the public eye, attracting a lot of trouble.
Because no force was willing to sit by and watch the existence of a Family with several Geniuses.
Once such a Family was allowed to grow and rise, it would be extremely terrifying!
“Haha, what can the Jin Family do even if they know?”
Lu Changsheng said indifferently.
He had instructed his son to do this before, so he was not afraid of what the Jin Family might do.
After all, the two families had long been secretly tripping each other up, it was just that they wouldn’t bring the conflict into the open.
Even if the Jin Family knew, they could only swallow this grievance!
As the Father and son chatted, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a terrifying Spiritual Pressure Aura approaching his direction.
He frowned slightly and suddenly looked to the side.
“Father, what’s wrong?”
Lu Quanzhen saw his Father’s expression and also looked in that direction.
But he saw nothing.
However, after a few breaths, he saw a surge of clouds and mist Rolling and surging ahead, accompanied by sounds of wind and thunder.
As the movement of the clouds and mist grew larger and larger, Lu Quanzhen’s expression suddenly changed.
“Not good, this is the Beast Taming Xu Family!”
Earlier, outside the Secret Realm, Lu Quanzhen had seen the commotion when several Core Formation-level forces arrived.
Among them, the Beast Taming Xu Family’s display was very grand; Nine Wind Lightning Steeds pulled a huge Divine Ship, and as it traveled, wind and thunder roared, crushing the Heavens, its might was truly astonishing.
The momentum and commotion in the distance were exactly the same as when the Xu Family came to the Purple Nether Secret Realm at that time!
So Lu Quanzhen immediately realized that this was most likely the Beast Taming Xu Family coming to cause trouble for the two of them!
“How did the Beast Taming Xu Family find us? All the tokens, keepsakes, and suspicious items in the Xu Family’s Storage Pouch were destroyed by me and thrown off a cliff.”
“And I used a second-tier purification Talisman to inspect my entire body, and found no trace of any marked Aura!”
Lu Quanzhen was horrified, completely unable to understand why this Xu Family Old Ancestor would track him down.
But at this moment, he had no time to think further.
The Xu Family Old Ancestor in front was getting closer and closer.
As the Divine Ship galloped under the Nine Wind Lightning Steeds, a terrifying Spiritual Pressure, like a tsunami, came Rolling and surging, making the air feel heavy and difficult to breathe.
“Father, my elder brother and I killed all the disciples of the Beast Taming Xu Family in the Purple Nether Secret Realm. This commotion should be the Beast Taming Xu Family, the Xu Family Old Ancestor coming to cause trouble for us!”
Lu Quanzhen’s face was grim as he transmitted his words to his Father.
Under these circumstances, he naturally dared not hide it from his Father.
Lu Ping’an also looked at the Nine Wind Lightning Steeds, charging towards him amidst clouds and mist, wind and thunder surging, his expression grave.
He hadn’t expected that the two of them would actually provoke a Fake Core Old Ancestor from the Beast Taming Xu Family!
“Hmm, killed all the disciples of the Beast Taming Xu Family!?”
Lu Changsheng was stunned when he heard this.
He thought to himself, good heavens.
He was still wondering why this Xu Family Old Ancestor was rushing towards him so aggressively, looking like he meant trouble.
It turned out that all the Cultivators of the Beast Taming Xu Family had been killed by his son, and now he was coming to cause trouble!
“Father, this Xu Family Old Ancestor must have found my elder brother and me through some means. You should be able to escape with Talismans.”
Several Talismans appeared in Lu Quanzhen’s sleeve, and he spoke with urgency.
Although external rumors claimed that his Father could suppress and kill a False Core True Person with a Symbol Array.
But he knew that this was news released by Golden Dragon Ridge, deliberately trying to flatter and then harm Lu!
So, facing this Xu Family Old Ancestor, he had no intention of fighting back at all.
His first thought was to use the Talismans given by Lu Changsheng to scatter and escape for their lives.
Only then would the three of them have a glimmer of hope, instead of all dying here.
He felt a pang of regret, his aunt Lu Miaoge was not here.
Otherwise, if his Father and aunt combined their strength, they might be able to contend with this Xu Family Old Ancestor.
“Father!”
Lu Ping’an also produced a Talisman in his hand, looking as if he were ready to die.
“Haha, it’s alright, leave it to Father to handle.”
Lu Changsheng looked at his two sons’ expressions, smiled, and patted their shoulders, signaling them to calm down.
This time, the Xu Family Old Ancestor’s attack would serve as a lesson for his sons.
Let them know that there is always someone stronger, and always someone more capable.
Facing high-level Cultivators and disciples of powerful families, one must be extremely cautious!
Moreover, both his sons were already so grown up, about to reach Foundation Establishment, and it was time they learned some of Lu’s secrets.
He handed the control of the Spirit Boat to Lu Quanzhen.
Then, looking at the Nine Wind Lightning Steeds and the Xu Family Old Ancestor charging head-on, he took a step, walked off the Spirit Boat, and went to meet them.
“Father!”
Lu Quanzhen’s expression changed drastically, and he cried out, thinking that Lu Changsheng was trying to buy time for the two of them.
“Quanzhen, trust Father.”
Lu Ping’an pressed his shoulder and said in a deep voice.
He trusted his Father implicitly.
He believed that if his Father dared to do this, he must have confidence!
“Hmm!? Bold scoundrel, courting death!”
The Xu Family Old Ancestor, standing on the huge Divine Ship, saw Lu Changsheng, clad in a black Daoist robe, with a dignified countenance and a calm demeanor, standing in the Void Realm. He immediately glared, and ordered the Wind Lightning Steeds to charge directly.
These Nine Wind Lightning Steeds were not Spirit Beasts raised by the Xu Family for pulling carriages.
They were Spirit Beasts he had meticulously nurtured himself for travel, and each one possessed astonishing combat power.
The leading Spirit Beast, in particular, had accompanied him for several hundred years and possessed Late Stage second-tier strength.
With such a collision, even a Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator could be directly crushed to death!
“Roar, roar, roar!”
The Nine Wind Lightning Steeds immediately roared and roared in unison, wind and thunder surging around them, like a thousand troops and ten thousand horses galloping, carrying boundless furious wind and thunder, crushing through the Heavens, and charging straight towards Lu Changsheng.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”
Just then, a crisp Sword Qi cry echoed between heaven and earth.
Above Lu Changsheng’s head, a giant sword, several zhang in size, flowing with the seven luminaries’ radiant light, suddenly appeared, erupting with boundless sharp Sword Qi, seemingly intending to annihilate everything, and slashed down with a roar.
“Boom, boom, boom!!!”
The violent and surging wind and thunder filling the sky collided with the overbearing and unparalleled Heaven-supporting giant sword, immediately erupting in an earth-shattering roar.
Brilliant Dharma power light tore through the clouds, and Dharma power aftershocks, like raging waves, spread out from the center of the battle, sweeping in all directions, raising layers of Qi waves, like a vast ocean fluctuating.
Such Qi wave aftershocks caused the Spirit Boat of Lu Quanzhen and Lu Ping’an, not far away, to be like a small boat in a stormy sea, almost overturned and swallowed by the giant waves.
Fortunately, a majestic Dharma power, like a gentle breeze, blew over, dissipating the Dharma power aftershocks for them.
“This!?”
“Father’s strength!?”
Lu Quanzhen and Lu Ping’an were both shocked by this scene, looking at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
They hadn’t expected their Father’s strength to be so astonishing.
Especially Lu Quanzhen.
He had always known that his Father was hiding his true capabilities and was definitely not as simple as he appeared!
But he had hidden it too deeply!
He could actually face a False Core True Person head-on!
Didn’t that mean that in the battle at White Tiger Mountain, when Father faced the Grand Elder Jin of Golden Dragon Ridge, he was merely toying with him?
“Old Ancestor Xu, you are so aggressive, may I ask what the matter is?”
Lu Changsheng, clad in a profound black Magical Robe, stood with his hands clasped behind his back in the Void Realm, gazing at the approaching Xu Family Old Ancestor as he spoke calmly.
“Who are you? Since you know of my Beast Taming Xu Family, how dare you target my Xu Family like this!”
Although the Xu Family Old Ancestor was somewhat surprised by the recent clash, he still maintained an aggressive Aura, shouting sternly.
“Me? Lu is merely a Loose Cultivator, bringing his children here to the Purple Nether Secret Realm for experience.”
Lu Changsheng stated.
“Good, good, good, so you won’t say!”
“A mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator dares to be so presumptuous in front of this Old Ancestor. Once I capture you, I will make you reveal everything, every single detail!”
The Xu Family Old Ancestor glared furiously, his voice cold.
He had already concluded that Lu Changsheng came from some top-tier force and was deliberately probing his Family’s situation.
As he spoke, purple-green lightning flickered in his pupils.
“Roar!!!”
A beast’s roar echoed across the heavens and earth.
Streaks of purple-green lightning spread out from the Xu Family Old Ancestor’s Qi Sea Dantian.
A ring-shaped Magical Artifact, filled with the roar of wind and thunder, appeared above the Xu Family Old Ancestor’s head.
This ring was named ‘Wind Thunder Ring’, and it was the Xu Family Old Ancestor’s Lifebound Treasure.
Although it was only a Low Grade Magic Treasure.
After years of refining by him, combined with the Nine Wind Lightning Steeds, its power was astonishingly immense.
Even though the Lu Changsheng before him gave off an unusual feeling and seemed to be a False Core Immortal Master, he was not afraid in the slightest!
After all, his Beast Taming Xu Family, by driving Spirit Beasts, was already a leader among those of the same cultivation level!
“Boom!”
The moment the Xu Family Old Ancestor conjured his Magic Treasure, Lu Changsheng had already moved first.
He knew that today’s matter could not end peacefully; a battle was inevitable!
“Nine Treasures Wishful Bone—Essence, Qi, Spirit!”
Lu Changsheng directly activated the three great Divine Abilities within his Lifebound Treasure Bone.
Runes intertwined on his sternum, emitting brilliant light, causing his Physical Body, magical power, and Divine Sense to surge like a roaring tsunami.
In an instant, Lu Changsheng’s figure, which shot out, seemed to grow several times taller.
At the same time, countless purplish-red, scorching flames emanated from his radiant body, reaching the Xu Family Old Ancestor.
“Roar, roar, roar!”
The Nine Wind Lightning Steeds roared to the heavens, wind and thunder roaring, Rolling and spreading, filling the world.
But before Lu Changsheng’s figure, which was like a demon god, the Nine Wind Lightning Steeds were directly sent flying by a savage impact, screaming in agony as they were scorched by the Lei Gang Dragon Flame surrounding him.
“What!? This is bad!”
The Xu Family Old Ancestor’s expression changed slightly when he saw Lu Changsheng forcefully send his Nine Wind Lightning Steeds flying and then charge towards him.
He quickly formed hand seals, and his Lifebound Treasure, the ‘Wind Thunder Ring,’ glowed, forming walls permeated with wind and thunder, blocking him.
At this moment, with the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone’s enhancement, Lu Changsheng’s Physical Body, which had always been dormant, seemed like a True Dragon awakening, or a primeval volcano erupting, exuding an utterly domineering Spiritual Pressure, with his vital essence soaring into the sky, forming beacon smoke that stirred the winds and clouds of heaven and earth.
“Puff, puff, puff!!!”
Under such god-like and demon-like Physical Body might, the Xu Family Old Ancestor’s nine wind-thunder walls instantly shattered into pieces and vanished into thin air.
“Xu Old Ancestor, as a False Core Immortal Master, I wonder how many moves you can withstand from Lu!”
In Lu Changsheng’s pupils, purplish-gold flames burned, domineering and eerie, forming a sea of fire around him, with a purplish-red Thunder Dragon coiled around his body, his voice deep and resonant.
“No, this person, could he be a third-order Body Refining Cultivator!!!”
The Xu Family Old Ancestor’s face was filled with horror, and he felt a desire to retreat, quickly shouting, “Fellow Daoist, stop!!!”
However, Lu Changsheng had already made his move.
A golden fist, accompanied by a roaring purplish-red Thunder Dragon, charged directly at him, dazzlingly bright, filling the Xu Family Old Ancestor’s pupils.
“Pfft!”
The profound and hellish fist, accompanied by the scorching and domineering Lei Gang Dragon Flame, instantly shattered and melted the Xu Family Old Ancestor’s protective magical barrier.
Immediately after, the golden fist, radiating light and spewing endless thunder flames, directly smashed the Physical Body of this False Core Immortal Master, creating a gaping hole in his chest.
“You…”
The Xu Family Old Ancestor’s expression was horrified as he looked at Lu Changsheng, an unprecedented despair rising in his heart.
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!”
The next moment, the scorching and violent Lei Gang Dragon Flame evaporated the Xu Family Old Ancestor’s blood, turning his Physical Body into charcoal.
“Is that all?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Xu Family Old Ancestor, who had died so easily, feeling a sense of unreality.
Weak, too weak!
Too weak indeed!
With this level of strength, even if he didn’t use the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone, he would still be enough to suppress and kill the opponent.
However, it was precisely the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone’s enhancement that rendered this False Core Immortal Master utterly helpless before him.
Whether it was the Wind Thunder Steeds, the Magic Treasure’s effect, or the protective magical barrier, all seemed to be不堪一击!
“False Core Immortal Master, nothing more than this.”
Lu Changsheng said calmly.
With a raise of his hand, he collected the Xu Family Old Ancestor’s Inner Core, Storage Pouch, Magic Treasure, and other items, then looked at the Nine Wind Lightning Steeds.
“Roar, roar, roar!”
The Nine Wind Lightning Steeds, seeing their master dead, roared and howled at Lu Changsheng.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng showed no mercy and killed all the Nine Wind Lightning Steeds.
Although these Nine Wind Lightning Steeds were quite good.
They could not only serve as combat power but also as mounts.
However, these Nine Wind Lightning Steeds had clearly been raised by the Xu Family Old Ancestor for a long time, and it would be very troublesome to tame them.
Even if he tamed them, he couldn’t use them in front of outsiders for now; he could only raise them slowly.
But the food and consumption of a second-order Yao Beast were not a small expense, so it was better to just kill them.
After doing all this, Lu Changsheng put the corpses of the Nine Wind Lightning Steeds into his Storage Pouch.
The flames around him gradually dissipated, and the terrifying Spiritual Pressure receded like a tide, returning to his Spirit Boat.
At this moment, Lu Ping’an and Lu Quanzhen on the Spirit Boat were still wide-eyed, stunned and motionless.
Too astonishing!
The scene just now was simply too astonishing.
One punch!
Instant kill?
My Father instantly killed a False Core Immortal Master with one punch!
The two brothers were utterly bewildered, completely unsure how to describe their current feelings.
They wouldn’t even dare to dream of such a thing!
They knew their Father was powerful and usually hid his true strength.
But they had never imagined it would be to this extent!
Moreover, wasn’t their Father’s greatest strength in Talisman Dao?
How could his Body Refining aspect be so fierce?
And that scorching, domineering, incredibly violent purplish-red flame!
Even after the battle ended, they could still feel a hot wave of Qi in the air.
“We Cultivators should remain unfazed even if the sky collapses before us, and our hearts should not waver even if Dragons and Phoenixes appear behind us. How can you achieve great things in the future if you react this way to a small matter?”
Lu Changsheng looked at his two sons’ expressions and said calmly, telling them not to make a fuss.
“???”
The two brothers looked at their Father.
You call this a small matter?
But thinking about it, what their Father said seemed right.
After all, a battle resolved with one punch, wasn’t that just a small matter?
After all, when the Xu Family Old Ancestor came to kill them, their Father was calm and composed, stating that he was there.
“Father is right to admonish us.”
Lu Ping’an immediately showed shame, looking as if he had learned a lesson.
He felt that his mental state was indeed lacking.
He had lost his composure when facing Qin Yi in the Purple Nether Secret Realm before.
And just now, he had been stunned and lost in thought.
If this were during a life-and-death struggle, he would have already lost his life.
Lu Quanzhen nodded, still a bit bewildered, saying nothing.
Because he truly didn’t know what to say.
The shock of this situation was simply too great for him; he felt that his Father before him was somewhat unfamiliar.
He couldn’t imagine that his Father, who only had a Low Grade Spiritual Root and was usually lazy and casual, possessed such astonishing combat power and a domineering side!
“Father will tell you when we get back.”
Lu Changsheng looked at his sons, who still had troubled expressions, and patted their shoulders.
Then he steered the Spirit Boat, transforming into a streak of light, and swiftly entered the mountain range on the right.
They were not far from Violet Cloud Gorge, and the recent commotion could easily attract the attention of others.
So he had to find a place to regroup and check the situation to avoid being targeted.
Soon after Lu Changsheng left, several figures looked in that direction.
“What was that just now?”
“Such astonishing might and commotion, could it be a Core Formation Immortal Master fighting!”
“Why did the battle end so quickly?”
“I think I just saw the Xu Family Old Ancestor.”
“The Xu Family Old Ancestor left directly before; it seems all his Family’s Cultivators died in the Secret Realm. Is this related to that?”
“The Beast Taming Xu Family is a top-tier force in my Jiang Country Cultivation World. How could such a situation occur? Could they have been targeted by the Four Great Immortal Sects?”
“Fellow Daoist, you shouldn’t say such things.”
After a few hushed discussions, several Foundation Establishment Cultivators didn’t dare to observe too much and quickly departed.
After all, they had just exited Violet Cloud Gorge, felt a terrifying Spiritual Pressure emanating from ahead, and merely passed by to look, unwilling to get too involved.
