Chapter 383: Real man, you have to make the decision for me!

Dragonhead Mountain.

The Beast Taming Xu Family.

Inside a magnificent palace adorned with gold and jade, the atmosphere was tense and heavy.

The Xu family’s old patriarch sat upon the main seat, his face ashen, a terrifying aura surging from him like an abyss, akin to a volcano about to erupt.

Several high-ranking members of the Xu family were prostrated on the ground, trembling, not daring to speak, overwhelmed by the patriarch’s imposing presence.

However, they could understand their patriarch’s anger.

During his seclusion, two Nascent Soul ancestors of the family had been killed one after another.

Moreover, their deaths were inexplicable, without even a clue as to the culprit or the forces behind it.

“What’s going on!”

The Xu family patriarch suppressed the anger in his heart, his voice deep and powerful, echoing through the palace like rolling thunder.

As a top-tier force in the Jiang Kingdom, a family of Core Formation cultivators with a heritage of thousands of years, the Beast Taming Xu Family held great prestige.

Yet now, two Nascent Soul cultivators had died in succession!

And both had died inexplicably, without knowing which force was responsible!

Humiliation!

Provocation!

This was blatant humiliation and provocation!

Trampling on the dignity of his Beast Taming Xu Family!

However, with the deaths of the two Nascent Souls, a strange fear also arose in the Xu family patriarch’s heart.

Because apart from the Four Great Immortal Sects, no one in the entire Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world dared to oppose his Xu Family in this way!

“Ancestor Xu Ge went out this time, presumably to the Lu family of Azure Lake Mountain…”

A high-ranking member of the Xu family cautiously spoke.

“The Lu family of Azure Lake Mountain?”

Between the opening and closing of the Xu family patriarch’s eyes, strands of golden light flowed, captivating the soul.

Although the Lu family of Azure Lake Mountain had a considerable reputation in the Azure Cloud Region, they were not worthy of the Xu family patriarch’s attention.

“Reporting to the patriarch.”

The high-ranking member immediately spoke, indicating that this Lu family of Azure Lake Mountain was a force that had risen in the past twenty years.

Their patriarch, Lu Changsheng, and his wife, Lu Miaoge, cultivated a dual cultivation technique, and their combined strength was comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng possessed some kind of inheritance of the Dao of Talismans, and shortly after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he relied on a talisman formation to suppress and kill three Foundation Establishment cultivators, thus becoming famous in one battle and beginning to rise.

“Even if these two have combat power comparable to Nascent Soul, it is impossible to kill Xu Ge!”

The Xu family patriarch said directly.

Although Xu Ge’s character was not good,

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, his combat power was beyond doubt.

How could two cultivators who barely contended with Nascent Soul by relying on dual cultivation techniques be Xu Ge’s opponents and even kill Xu Ge?

Did he, the Beast Taming Xu Family, cultivate only useless trash!

It should be known that the cultivators of his Beast Taming Xu Family all had spirit beasts, and their strength far surpassed their peers!

Moreover, because of his early experiences, Xu Ge was usually very careful in doing such things.

Even when facing Foundation Establishment cultivators, he would sneak attack.

It was impossible to ridicule him head-on, give him a chance, and then fight him.

So, under such circumstances, he did not think that two small Foundation Establishment cultivators could kill Xu Ge.

“Could it be the Azure Cloud Sect…”

The Xu family patriarch’s eyes sank slightly when he heard that the location of Azure Lake Mountain was not far from the Azure Cloud Sect.

Although the Beast Taming Xu Family was under the rule of the Azure Cloud Sect, it was a local power.

The Azure Cloud Sect did not want to see the Xu Family become too strong.

But he immediately rejected this idea.

Given the Xu Family’s current situation, the Azure Cloud Sect had no need to do such a thing.

If a second Core Formation cultivator appeared in the family, it would be reasonable and barely justifiable for the Azure Cloud Sect to do such a thing.

“Could it be the Five Elements Wang Family?”

The Xu family patriarch continued to ponder.

He had slapped the Five Elements Wang Family in the face to establish his authority, and the Wang Family must have held a grudge.

Perhaps, in order to disgust him, they took the opportunity to ambush Xu Ge.

“Old Ghost Wang doesn’t have the courage. Once something happens to him, the Five Elements Wang Family will completely collapse.”

The Xu family patriarch rejected this idea again, thinking about other family forces.

“Patriarch, Lu Changsheng of Azure Lake Mountain must have had great opportunities and adventures to rise in just a few decades. Maybe he has some kind of treasure in his hands, so…”

At this time, the Xu family head said with a stiff scalp.

When the Xu family’s Second Ancestor was killed, the family investigated for a long time without any clues.

Now, in the case of Xu Ge, apart from knowing that Xu Ge was preparing to go to Azure Lake Mountain to ambush Lu Changsheng, there was no news or clues at all.

This situation meant that they were destined to not find the murderer if they were sent to investigate.

So, they could only push this matter to Azure Lake Mountain, trying to quell the patriarch’s anger as much as possible.

“You send people to Azure Lake Mountain to investigate. If it is really related to Azure Lake Mountain, report it immediately.”

The Xu family patriarch said in a deep voice, although this possibility was very small, it could not be ruled out.

“The matter of Xu Ge must not be spread. Next, shrink the family’s power, increase vigilance, and pay more attention to the movements of the Azure Cloud Sect, Falling霞宗 Sect, 御灵 Sect, Danxia Mountain, Illusion Sound Gate, Wang Family, and Shangguan Family!”

The Xu family patriarch continued to speak, his voice full of majesty and unquestionable.

In his heart, he still tended to believe that it was done by other Core Formation-level forces.

After all, many times, the other party did not necessarily have a direct conflict of interest with his Xu Family.

Perhaps a certain force wanted to drive a wolf to swallow a tiger and reap the benefits.

“Yes, Patriarch!”

The Xu family and others responded in unison.

At the same time.

In a mountain cave.

Yun Wanchang felt something and opened her beautiful eyes.

“Hmm?”

She looked at Lu Changsheng, who had arrived with a pale face and disordered and weak mana aura, and frowned slightly.

She had called him over to cultivate, but he looked like he had just experienced a hard fight.

“Senior.”

Lu Changsheng saw Yun Wanchang in front of him, dressed in colorful palace attire, with a beautiful and noble face, and after a few flashes of amazement in his eyes, he quickly cupped his hands.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Yun Wanchang’s red lips parted slightly, and she asked.

“Thank you for your concern, Senior. I just encountered an assassination on the way here, but it’s not a big deal. I’ve kept you waiting.”

Lu Changsheng’s voice was a little weak.

After he finished speaking, he coughed and quickly added: “Please rest assured, Senior, my current state will not affect my cultivation.”

“Assassination?”

Yun Wanchang’s beautiful eyes were like a pool of clear water, and she took a deep look at Lu Changsheng.

Then, she gently raised her hand, causing Lu Changsheng’s eyes to go dark and his body unable to move.

“Damn it, is this woman so indifferent and ruthless!?”

Lu Changsheng was speechless in his heart. He came to help her cultivate in this state, but she didn’t even care to say a few words?

At least ask what kind of assassination he encountered and if it was dangerous.

What a heartless woman!

However, Lu Changsheng thought to himself, was he acting a little too fake?

After all, he didn’t really hurt himself.

He just made his mana aura disordered and look like he had consumed too much, without any obvious injuries.

A fragrant and sweet pill entered his mouth, and then rustling sounds rang out.

Under the intoxicating fragrance, Lu Changsheng’s blood accelerated, and his body was honest.

A moment later, the graceful body of warm jade attacked, and he was ridden under her.

“Circulate your energy!”

A clear and melodious voice rang out.

Lu Changsheng circulated the Sun Moon Reincarnation Technique reluctantly.

Afterwards!

Afterwards!

Afterwards!

Lu Changsheng looked at the storage bag beside the pillow and sighed deeply.

Damn it, sooner or later, he would let her know that his second brother was invincible in the world.

Then he whispered, “Senior, I wonder how long you will be cultivating this time?”

“Three months.”

Yun Wanchang’s clear voice like pearls and jade rang out.

“Three months…”

Lu Changsheng heard this and wondered if he should act again.

Saying that the previous assassination meant that his family might be in danger, and he was worried about the safety of his family and wanted to go home to take charge as soon as possible.

If things were resolved and he was still alive, he would come back to help her cultivate.

But wouldn’t that be a little too fake?

Just then, Yun Wanchang’s voice rang out: “What about the assassination you mentioned?”

“Hmm? Is she willing to help after the fact?”

Lu Changsheng heard this and paused, feeling happy, thinking about how to organize his words to make himself sound more miserable and pitiful.

“Say something directly if you have something to say, otherwise don’t say it.”

Yun Wanchang’s voice was cold, like a pool of water, calm and indifferent.

As a Core Formation cultivator and the Lord of the Enforcement Hall of the Azure Cloud Sect, she might be ignorant, indecisive, and lack decisiveness in matters of love.

But in other aspects, she was not an idiot.

She saw through Lu Changsheng’s little tricks at a glance.

Seeing that he clearly wanted her to know, caring and helping, but he had to hesitate and wait for her to take the initiative to ask, so she was too lazy to dawdle.

Now seeing that he was hinting to her again by asking about the time, she was too lazy to dawdle.

“Senior, it’s the Beast Taming Xu Family.”

Lu Changsheng said immediately.

Since the other party said so, indicating that she was willing to help, he would naturally not hesitate.

As for the matter of killing Xu Ge, in Lu Changsheng’s view, revealing it to Yun Wanchang was not a big deal.

Back then, she was willing to take action in the matter of Meng Xiangu, indicating that she was very mindful of their relationship.

Of course, it might also be because of Xiao Xiyue, or that he had saved Chu Qingyi.

“Beast Taming Xu Family?”

Yun Wanchang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

In her opinion, the Beast Taming Xu Family should not have a direct feud with Lu Changsheng.

Why would they come to assassinate Lu Changsheng for no reason?

“This person is Xu Ge, the Pseudo-Core Old Ancestor of the Beast Taming Xu family. I don’t know why he took notice of me and directly ambushed me outside Bihu Mountain. If it weren’t for my trump cards…”

Lu Changsheng’s voice was very aggrieved as he spoke softly, as if telling his parents that he was being bullied at school.

The newest novel is available first on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

“Xu family’s Xu Ge?”

Yun Wanchang knew of this person.

In his early years, he was considered a genius of the Xu family, with the potential to form a Core.

However, his Natal Spirit Beast was killed by a True Disciple of the Spirit Controlling Sect, damaging his Dao foundation and causing him to fall into decline.

Later, he obtained some kind of opportunity that allowed him to barely break through to the Pseudo-Core stage.

Because of this experience, Xu Ge was shocked by the coldness of the world, and his mentality became somewhat twisted. He liked to bully the weak and hunt geniuses.

Lu Changsheng’s situation was normal for him to be noticed by this Xu Ge.

“This person likes to hunt geniuses. You have been too high-profile in recent years and have no background, so you were noticed by him.”

“I will have someone warn him afterward, and he won’t dare to attack you again.”

Yun Wanchang’s voice was calm and cold, and her body exuded an invisible majesty that could penetrate people’s hearts.

In her opinion, Lu Changsheng was also one of her people.

Therefore, one had to consider the owner before hitting the dog!

Moreover, if something happened to Lu Changsheng, her Nascent Soul opportunity would be cut off.

This Xu Ge looking for trouble with Lu Changsheng was simply courting death!

“But when I faced his assassination, I had no choice but to rely on the array to kill him.”

Lu Changsheng said somewhat shyly.

“?”

Yun Wanchang was stunned, somewhat dumbfounded, thinking she had misheard.

Killing Xu Ge?

A Foundation Establishment cultivator defying and killing a Pseudo-Core True Person?

Although she knew that Lu Changsheng had great opportunities, great secrets, hidden cultivation, and strength far beyond his peers.

She never expected that Lu Changsheng would actually kill a Pseudo-Core True Person!

Moreover, Lu Changsheng, apart from being too exhausted and having disordered mana, had no injuries.

This was amazing, very amazing!

After a moment of silence, she said indifferently: “Killing him is fine.”

“But I heard that a Pseudo-Core Old Ancestor of the Xu family was killed by the Five Elements Wang family in his early years, and the Xu family’s Old Ancestor took two Tier 3 Spirit Beasts to the Five Elements Wang family.”

Lu Changsheng said with some trepidation and fear.

Yun Wanchang found it a little funny and immediately understood what Lu Changsheng was worried about.

It turned out that he was afraid that the Xu family’s Old Ancestor would come to his door.

However, in her opinion, Lu Changsheng’s worries were somewhat unnecessary.

First of all, the matter of a Foundation Establishment cultivator killing a Pseudo-Core was too unbelievable. It was unlikely that the Xu family would suspect Lu Changsheng.

Even if the Xu family’s Old Ancestor was a dignified Core Formation True Person, how could he deal with Bihu Mountain like the Five Elements Wang family?

He wouldn’t want to lose face, and the Xu family’s Old Ancestor himself would be ashamed.

“If the Beast Taming Xu family troubles you, just send me a message.”

Yun Wanchang said in a clear voice.

Immediately afterward, a five-colored token flew into Lu Changsheng’s secret room.

“This is my token. It contains a sealed divine ability. If you encounter a life-threatening danger, you can show this token and activate the divine ability within.”

At this time, Yun Wanchang also realized that if Lu Changsheng encountered danger outside, she would also be affected, so she gave this token to Lu Changsheng.

Putting aside everything else, with this token, the Core Formation forces of the entire Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world would have some scruples about attacking Lu Changsheng.

If they really wanted to attack, the power of the divine ability inside could also give him an extra means of protection.

“Divine ability?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the token and immediately thanked him: “Thank you, Senior!”

At this moment, the small complaints in his heart about being ridden all the way disappeared completely.

As long as the other party was willing, he couldn’t wait to bow down and be a willing ox, using all his skills to express his gratitude!

At this moment, Lu Changsheng also roughly realized that this Rainbow Cloud True Person’s personality was somewhat similar to his Master in the Soul Dao dream realm.

She had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and she was very protective. She was the type of person who didn’t respond to force.

Lu Changsheng felt that if he hadn’t formed his Core too early, and once he formed it, it would be a top-grade Golden Core, he could really consider going to the Qingyun Sect to form his Core.

Unknowingly, three months had passed.

During this period, Lu Changsheng was still wondering if the Beast Taming Xu family would directly come to his home to make trouble.

As long as there was the slightest movement in the communication talisman, he would immediately take Yun Wanchang back to Bihu Mountain.

However, these three months were very peaceful, and there was nothing happening at home.

He was cultivating the whole time, recovering his vitality, and then dual cultivating with Yun Wanchang.

After completing his cultivation, Yun Wanchang transformed into a divine rainbow and left.

Lu Changsheng also walked out of the cave.

At this time, it was raining heavily outside.

Lu Changsheng was wearing a green robe, his face was handsome and otherworldly, and his figure was slender and tall. He stood in the rain, like a banished immortal who had strayed into the mortal world and was stained with the mundane.

A gust of cold wind gently caressed him, and Lu Changsheng stretched out his palm and chuckled: “It’s just a little wind and rain.”

Immediately, with a ‘whoosh’ sound, he drove the purple flying shuttle, turning into a ray of light and returning to Bihu Mountain.

“System, draw a lottery!”

Lu Changsheng muttered in his heart.

Two months ago, the number of his family’s martial arts Innate children reached one hundred and fifty, and he obtained a lottery opportunity and a 3% increase in the probability of his children and descendants having spiritual roots.

Because Yun Wanchang was beside him, he had not used this lottery opportunity.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a bottle of Beast Essence Pills!]

[The reward has been distributed to the system space. The host can check it at any time]

The golden light stopped in the ‘Pills’ column.

Immediately, a bottle of pills pattern emerged from the roulette, accompanied by a system prompt.

“Beast Essence Pills? Pills for Spirit Beasts?”

Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows when he saw this reward.

Although the most direct and simple way for Demonic Beasts to grow is to devour and refine Demonic Cores of the same attribute.

There are also many pills that can improve the cultivation and growth of Demonic Beasts.

However, after having the Red Lotus and the Beast Taming Ancient Talisman, Lu Changsheng rarely refined pills for Demonic Beasts.

With a slight thought, information about the Beast Essence Pills appeared in the system space.

[Pill: Beast Essence Pill]

[Quality: Tier 3]

[Description: Improves the advancement speed of Tier 3 Demonic Beasts and has the effect of purifying the Demonic Beast’s bloodline]

“The effect of purifying the bloodline…”

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes when he saw the description of the pill.

His family’s Demonic Beasts all have extraordinary bloodlines.

Even if it slightly purifies the bloodline, it is a significant improvement.

However, thinking that this is only a Tier 3 pill, and a whole bottle, not just one, Lu Changsheng guessed that the effect should be limited.

“Better than nothing.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and didn’t care too much.

He planned to give this pill to Jiu You Ao later to test the effect.

After all, this kind of Tier 3 pill, under normal circumstances, at least a Tier 2 Demonic Beast can take it.

And the only Tier 2 Demonic Beasts in the family besides Jiu You Ao are the Spirit Seeking Mouse.

He would definitely not waste resources to cultivate this Spirit Seeking Mouse.

Returning home, Lu Changsheng asked his wife, Lu Miaoyun, if anything had happened at home these days.

“Husband, the Old Ancestor of the Qiu family in Qianjue Mountain recently revealed a piece of news, stating that the Great Elder of the Jin family in Jinlong Ridge, Jin Zhan, has formed a Pseudo-Core in Jiuxiao Immortal City.”

“The truth of this news is still uncertain. I have already sent someone to Jiuxiao Immortal City to verify it.”

Lu Miaoyun gently raised her hand to pour tea for Lu Changsheng, revealing a piece of news.

“Jin Zhan…”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed when he heard this name.

Fifteen years have passed since the incident at Baihu Mountain.

The other party had a Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer cultivation in his early years, so it is reasonable to break through to the Pseudo-Core stage now.

It’s just that the outside world has always rumored that this Jin Zhan was going to break through to Core Formation, so why did he only break through to a Pseudo-Core in the end?

Was it deliberately released false news, or was it due to insufficient foundation that he could only form a Pseudo-Core?

“Jinlong Ridge has been so quiet these years, it is likely that they are waiting for Jin Zhan to break through.”

Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart, thinking of the peace of Jinlong Ridge these years.

He originally planned that if there was nothing going on at home this time and the Beast Taming Xu family had been silent, he would go out with Ling Zixiao to solve the Spirit Vein matter.

After Yun Wanchang finished her cultivation, he could pick the Heavenly Yuan Treasure King Lotus, condense the Yuan Core, and break through to the Golden Core!

But if this Jin Zhan breaks through, Jinlong Ridge will definitely have big moves next.

“Alas, I just want to cultivate quietly.”

Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart, thinking about whether he should run to Jinlong Ridge to hunt a wave.

But if Jin Zhan didn’t break through to Pseudo-Core, but broke through to True Core, then it wouldn’t be good to ambush him.

“Yun’er, you should also have people pay more attention to the future situation of Jinlong Ridge. Tell me the news as soon as possible.”

Lu Changsheng said to his wife.

“Yes, Husband.”

Lu Miaoyun responded softly, also knowing that if this Jin family’s Great Elder really broke through, he would definitely come to find trouble with their family.
