Chapter 527: Crazy sniping, killing at the domain gate!
A day later, Lu Chensha found Lu Mingfeng and the others halfway up Mount Purple Nether.
Although they had successfully escaped, they encountered demon beasts along the way and all suffered some injuries.
Lu Yunfei, who had originally woken up, had completely fallen unconscious again.
Therefore, they had not dared to venture out for days, hiding here the whole time.
“Let’s go meet up with Sister Yan first.”
Lu Chensha wore a green brocade robe, his skin exceptionally fair, almost transparent, giving off an effeminate, cold vibe.
“Alright.”
Lu Mingfeng looked at Lu Chensha.
He felt that this younger brother standing before him looked and felt a little different compared to a few days ago, but he couldn’t pinpoint the specific change.
However, after the previous battles, he had great trust in this younger brother.
The fact that the other party could find them and come to their aid so quickly indicated that his combat strength had recovered.
In this situation, going to meet up was naturally the best course of action.
“Oh no!”
“A second-tier demon beast!”
As soon as they stepped out of the cave and saw the Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider outside, their expressions changed drastically, and their hair stood on end.
“It’s alright, this is my spirit beast.”
Lu Chensha said this.
“What!”
“Chensha, this is your spirit beast!?”
Lu Mingfeng and the Qingzhu Mountain disciples were shocked upon hearing this.
They looked at Lu Chensha with faces full of surprise and disbelief, then looked at the Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider, thinking they were dreaming or hallucinating.
“I obtained an opportunity while escaping earlier, so I subdued this Ghost-faced Spider.”
Lu Chensha gently stroked the hideous and terrifying spider, explaining simply.
“This… this… this…”
Lu Mingfeng and the others were utterly shocked, beyond belief.
This was truly astonishing, completely shattering their imagination.
One must know that wild demon beasts are difficult to tame and fierce by nature, they would rather die than submit to someone weaker than themselves.
Cultivators in the Qi Refining stage subduing a second-tier demon beast almost only existed in certain biographies, usually treated as mere stories for entertainment.
But now, Lu Chensha, a Qi Refining cultivator, had actually subdued a second-tier demon beast!
Moreover, this demon beast clearly wasn’t simple, not some low-tier or mid-tier demon beast.
If this matter were to spread, Lu Chensha’s name would likely resound throughout the entire Azure Cloud territory.
“Chensha, now that you have a second-tier spirit beast, can’t we go seek revenge on the Jin family, Sima family, and the Shangguan family!”
Lu Mingfeng said with uncontrollable excitement, his eyes filled with hatred.
In the previous battle, they were defeated and fled in disarray.
If not for the substitute talismans, several of them would have definitely perished.
In such a situation, it was impossible for him not to feel suppressed and angry.
Furthermore, the matter of the substitute talismans was of great importance.
If possible, he naturally wanted to deal with the Shangguan family to prevent the secret from leaking out and causing trouble for their family.
“Naturally, once Sister Yan recovers, we will settle the score with the Sima family and the Shangguan family.”
Lu Chensha said in a low voice, his eyes filled with killing intent.
“Bihu Mountain is probably going to produce another genius of the level of Lu Ping’an and Lu Wangshu!”
The Qingzhu Mountain disciples beside them looked at the somewhat thin Lu Chensha, their hearts filled with awe, a thought surfacing in their minds.
This time, taking the four of Lu Mingfeng with him, Lu Chensha did not get involved in other people’s battles.
He even actively avoided other cultivators when he sensed them.
On the one hand, the cultivators who still dared to search for spiritual herbs in Mount Purple Nether at this stage were basically from various major families and forces, possessing a certain level of strength.
On the other hand, Lu Mingfeng and the others were in poor condition, and they were carrying the unconscious and severely injured Lu Yunfei.
A day and a half later, they met up with Lu Qingyan.
With the Filth God Worm and the Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider, they did not encounter any danger along the way.
Other forces, seeing the seven of them and sensing the terrifying aura of the Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider, would not actively provoke them either.
The Shangguan family had attacked them earlier because they had heard the sounds of battle and then saw their poor condition, so they took advantage of the situation.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, without a death feud, there was rarely a fight to the death in the Purple Nether Secret Realm.
“Sister Yan, Sister Ziyun, Mingfeng, you should all recover well during this time, and improve as much as possible if you can.”
Lu Chensha said, looking at the three of them.
As for Lu Qingze and Lu Yunfei, although their condition had been stabilized with spiritual medicine, they were still unconscious and could only wait until they returned home to find someone to treat them.
Lu Chensha was not stingy either.
He gave several bottles of pills and spiritual medicine to the three from Qingzhu Mountain and the three from the Mo family, allowing them to recover and improve their cultivation as much as possible.
He planned to hunt down the Sima family and the Shangguan family with Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng later.
Lu Yunfei and Lu Qingze still needed to be looked after by these few people.
“Thank you, Young Master Chen!”
The three from the Mo family were overjoyed.
Although they were doing well in the Mo family, they would only have a chance to compete for a Foundation Establishment qualification after obtaining sufficient gains in the secret realm.
If they could rely on spiritual medicine to improve their foundation and potential now, their chances of competing for the Foundation Establishment Pill afterward would also be much greater.
Moreover, Lu Chensha had already shown the potential of a top-tier genius.
If they could seize this opportunity to attach themselves to him, they might be able to rise in status in the future.
“Thank you, Young Master Chen.”
The three from Qingzhu Mountain also thanked Lu Chensha and then began to meditate.
Lu Chensha looked at the pile of spiritual medicine in his hands and also consumed several plants to improve his cultivation foundation.
However, after contracting with the Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider, his cultivation foundation had almost no room for further improvement.
Although these spiritual medicines were precious, they were of no help to him.
Immediately, Lu Chensha used a pile of spiritual medicine to feed his Centipede and Iron-backed Mantis.
This action left the few people from Qingzhu Mountain and the Mo family speechless and heartbroken.
One must know that these spiritual medicines were worth thousands of spirit stones outside.
Now, being wasted by Lu Chensha like this was simply a waste of heavenly treasures.
“Sister Ziyun, you stay here and take good care of Yunfei and Brother Ze. If there’s any situation, send us a message immediately.”
Four days later, Lu Qingyan’s condition not only recovered, but her body refining was also only half a step away from breaking through to the second tier.
Lu Chensha handed over some supplies and defensive items he had obtained from hunting earlier to Lu Ziyun, telling her and the six people from Qingzhu Mountain and the Mo family to hide here and wait for the secret realm to end.
The rest would be left to them.
“Chensha, Sister Yan, Mingfeng, be careful.”
Lu Ziyun knew that Lu Yunfei and Lu Qingze needed someone to take care of them, so she nodded and agreed.
“Young Master Chen, rest assured.”
The three from Qingzhu Mountain and the three from the Mo family said seriously.
Earlier, when they heard that Lu Chensha was going to hunt down the Shangguan family, they were still worried and afraid, somewhat hesitant to go.
After all, a Core Formation family held too much deterrence for them.
They were afraid of causing trouble for their families.
They also didn’t think they could contend with cultivators from such a Core Formation family.
“Alright!”
Lu Chensha didn’t say much, and Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng left.
In order to quickly find the cultivators from the Sima family and the Shangguan family, Lu Chensha would go forward and ask for directions whenever he heard any movement.
Of course, if they were displeasing to the eye, he would directly kill them.
With the mental attack of the Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider, there were simply not many cultivators who could withstand his first round of killing intent.
“Puff, puff, puff—”
Lu Chensha’s expression was calm, like harvesting weeds, instantly killing four people, their blood staining the grass.
The Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider devoured their souls, and the Iron Fire Ants, Iron-backed Mantis, and Centipede gnawed on the corpses.
This scene was simply chilling.
Even Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng felt a chill down their spines.
“Chensha won’t be affected by this Ghost-faced Spider, will he…”
Lu Qingyan looked at Lu Chensha, who was wearing a green brocade robe, his skin fair and spotless, her heart heavy, wanting to speak but hesitant.
In her early memories, this younger brother was introverted and quiet, low-key and ordinary.
After entering the Purple Nether Secret Realm, this younger brother gradually showed extraordinary qualities, but he was still low-key and gentle.
But now, he was like a different person, decisive in killing.
No, this was no longer just decisive in killing, but ferocious and brutal!
Although the cultivation world was a place where the strong preyed on the weak.
The Lu family’s education was still biased towards the righteous path.
If they weren’t bullied to the extreme, they basically wouldn’t actively cause trouble.
At this time, Lu Chensha would kill without a word if things didn’t go his way, wantonly slaughtering, making her suspect that this younger brother was being affected by the Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider.
After all, the appearance of this Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider was very evil.
It was normal for her younger brother, Lu Chensha, to be affected mentally after paying some price to subdue a second-tier demon beast with Qi Refining cultivation.
“Chensha, as long as they are willing to hand over their gains, there’s no need to kill them.”
Lu Qingyan said.
“Sister Yan, we must cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. If we don’t do it cleanly, they will inevitably hold a grudge afterward and cause trouble for our family in the future.”
Lu Chensha’s consciousness sea contained the Filth God Worm, which was drawing soul power through the Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider.
He tried to communicate with the Filth God Worm and the Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider to see if he could find the whereabouts and information of the Shangguan family and the Sima family from these people’s soul memories.
However, the Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider was affected by the Filth God Poison and lacked spirituality, so it couldn’t do it.
Although the Filth God Worm could do it, the efficiency was very low, and it couldn’t filter out useful information in a short time.
“Let’s tell Father later…”
Lu Qingyan also understood this principle and sighed in her heart.
She decided to tell her father about Lu Chensha’s situation after returning, lest this younger brother fall into the demonic path.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, spare us! We know the Sima family and can send them a message now!”
On this day, Lu Chensha and the others encountered a family force.
Lu Mingfeng recognized that this force came from a subsidiary family under Xuanwu Ridge.
Facing the killing intent of the three, the cultivators from this family immediately begged for mercy, stating that they had a Sima family communication talisman.
“Alright, you send a message to the Sima family now, and then I will let you go and give you a Heavenly Spirit Fruit.”
Lu Chensha’s eyes were filled with killing intent, and he said indifferently.
Although the cultivator from this family was worried that Lu Chensha would go back on his word, he was already scared out of his wits and didn’t dare to bargain, choosing to sacrifice a fellow Daoist rather than himself, and sent a message to the Sima family.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, I have already sent a message to the Sima family, I wonder…”
After sending the message, the cultivator looked at Lu Chensha cautiously.
“Alright, you can go.”
Lu Chensha said with a smile, throwing out a Heavenly Spirit Fruit.
However, just as the two were leaving with excited thanks.
“Puff, puff, puff—”
The Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider and the Iron Fire Ants suddenly attacked, killing the two of them.
“Chensha!”
Lu Qingyan looked at Lu Chensha, her eyes carrying a hint of questioning.
In her opinion, since Lu Chensha had promised to let the other party go, why bother killing them like this again.
“Who knows if what they said was true or false? Maybe they would send a message to the Sima family as soon as they left.”
“Moreover, if they leave the secret realm alive, the news will spread, which might cause trouble.”
Lu Chensha said softly.
As he killed, he felt increasingly indifferent to life.
Killing a few people was no different from killing a few ants.
“Chensha, your actions have deviated from the righteous path.”
Although Lu Qingyan knew that Lu Chensha was right, she still sighed and said.
This younger brother had changed too much, and she was worried that he would be affected mentally and fall into the demonic path.
“Righteous path?”
Lu Chensha paused.
“Cultivation is cultivating the mind. Your mind has been affected by your strength. You must hold onto your original intention.”
Lu Qingyan said tactfully.
When one possesses a sharp weapon, killing intent naturally arises.
Cultivation itself is a process of subduing the mind monkey and tethering the will horse.
In her opinion, Lu Chensha was now affected by the Ghost-faced Soul Devouring Spider, his mind monkey was out of control, and his will horse was unbridled.
Lu Chensha was startled, his expression changing.
He himself also realized that his mentality had undergone some inexplicable changes after entering the Purple Nether Secret Realm.
After killing people, he felt as if he had broken free from shackles.
Especially after experiencing battle after battle, in his heart, people had quietly become ordinary lives.
There was no difference between them and demon beasts or ants.
What was there to care about such lives that could be killed at will?
Lu Chensha pondered his situation, wondering if it would lead to him easily going berserk, giving birth to inner demons, and becoming extreme in personality.
But he felt that this seemed to stem from an inherent indifference deep within his bones, from the suppression of his early years.
“Possessing strength superior to ordinary people, yet being required to abide by rules. Now, breaking free from constraints, leading to uncontrolled desires and unrestrained release?”
Lu Chensha thought this.
But he still said to Lu Qingyan, “Sister Yan, I will be careful, but we are currently in the mystic realm, a special period, so we will handle things in a special way.”
“As long as you know what you’re doing.”
Lu Qingyan didn’t try to persuade him further, lest she provoke his displeasure.
In this matter, her words had little power of persuasion.
It was estimated that only his father’s words would Lu Chensha listen to.
At this moment, Lu Qingyan suddenly wondered if her father had Lu Chensha raise spirit beasts in his early years to temper his character.
After the three of them dealt with the battlefield, they began to clean up their spoils and waited for the Sima family to arrive.
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
Lu Mingfeng looked at the storage bags one by one and couldn’t help but sigh that searching for spiritual herbs was really not as fast as robbing and killing.
His six siblings had entered the mystic realm and been busy for so long, and only Lu Yunfei had gained a relatively large harvest.
But now, relying on Lu Chensha’s killing, their harvest was directly several times what it was before.
“Sister Yan, this is Adamant Grass, which has an effect on body tempering. I heard that there is also a rare spiritual herb in this Purple Nether Mystic Realm called ‘Golden Bodhi Date’, which has the effect of purifying the flesh and increasing cultivation.”
“If we find it later, perhaps your body tempering can break through to the second stage.”
Lu Chensha threw a spiritual herb with a faint golden luster to Lu Qingyan and said with a smile.
Their harvest this time was already somewhat excessive.
Moreover, many rare spiritual herbs had to be handed over to the Immortal Sect.
Therefore, if he could use it himself, he would definitely prioritize using it himself.
If Lu Qingyan’s body tempering broke through to the second stage, then hunting the Shangguan family would also be a sure thing.
“Mm.”
Lu Qingyan nodded, but she was a little absent-minded.
The three of them waited for almost two hours, and finally, there was some movement.
“Sister Yan, Mingfeng!”
Lu Chensha monitored the surrounding situation at all times through the Filth God Insect. Seeing that the people who came were the three members of the Sima family, he immediately transmitted a message to Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng.
The two of them nodded upon hearing this and acted according to the plan.
Lu Qingyan came forward first.
When the three members of the Sima family saw Lu Qingyan, their killing intent was immediately overwhelming.
But seeing that there was only Lu Qingyan alone, they realized something was wrong, felt a sense of alarm, and subconsciously retreated.
“Buzz!”
Lu Mingfeng instantly activated the formation he had set up earlier.
This was just an ordinary high-grade first-tier formation, mainly used to trap people.
“Not good!”
“There’s an ambush!”
“Hurry and leave!”
The three members of the Sima family instantly realized that something was wrong. This was the Lu family deliberately luring them here and setting up an ambush.
“Boom!”
The three of them made a decisive decision, unleashed their magical artifacts, activated talismans, and blasted open the formation.
However, as soon as the formation was broken, a massive, hideous, and terrifying dark spider appeared before them.
“Hiss hiss hiss—”
The Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider hissed.
The ghost face composed of black and white patterns on its abdomen was bizarre and terrifying, and its eight ghost eyes emitted a soul-stirring eerie light.
“Buzz—”
Except for the leading disciple of the Sima family, who seemed to have some treasure guarding his sea of consciousness and bit the tip of his tongue to wake up, the other two were both in a daze.
At the same time, killing intent appeared.
“Puff puff puff—”
Two pairs of Iron-backed Mantises and Lu Mingfeng’s flying sword directly killed the two who were in a daze. Blood splattered, and they fell to the ground with a thud.
Although Sima Yulin had woken up, in a flash, the Iron Fire Ants had reached him.
“Bang!!!”
His protective spiritual shield shattered, his chest exploded, leaving a charred mess, and he spat out blood.
“Lu Chensha!”
Sima Yulin looked around in shock and anger, but he didn’t see Lu Chensha’s figure, only Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng.
But he knew that this was definitely Lu Chensha’s doing.
“Puff puff puff—”
The Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider, Lu Qingyan, Lu Mingfeng, and the Iron-backed Mantises all attacked Sima Yulin.
Even though he was extraordinarily strong and had suppressed Lu Qingyan before, he couldn’t resist at this moment.
“Uh uh uh—”
A moment later, Lu Qingyan’s spear and the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider’s leg pierced through Sima Yulin’s chest and heart.
His face was full of resentment and unwillingness. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Lu Chensha, who was walking out of the mist with a calm expression, his eyes wide with fury.
But at this moment, he couldn’t say anything. His head tilted, and he breathed his last.
“Now only the Shangguan family is left.”
Lu Chensha looked at the corpse in front of him and said in a low voice, his voice filled with chilling killing intent.
This person was definitely a top genius of the Sima family. Now that he had died in the mystic realm, the Sima family would definitely be heartbroken.
At the same time.
Outside the Purple Nether Mystic Realm.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Sima family trembled, his face pale.
Then he looked at Lu Ping’an with disbelief.
Their Sima family was different from the Jin family.
Their purpose in coming to the Purple Nether Mystic Realm this time was to ambush the Lu family of Jade Lake Mountain.
As long as they could kill all the Lu family cultivators, they could even do without any harvest.
Before, one of their own had died first, and then two more had died. He could still understand that they had encountered danger and fought with the Lu family.
But now, the last three were dead, including Sima Yulin!
He stared intently at Lu Ping’an.
Hoping to see a look of sadness and pain on the other party’s face, indicating that the Lu family had also suffered heavy casualties at this time.
Lu Ping’an seemed to sense something and opened his eyes, looking towards the Sima family’s Foundation Establishment cultivator with a calm expression.
First the Jin family, and now the Sima family, he had a vague guess in his heart.
It was just that he did not have the soul tablets of Lu Qingyan and the others.
He was not clear about the situation of his younger siblings.
But at this moment, his heart was also a little heavy.
Although the six of them were quite strong.
But if they encountered the Jin family and the Sima family working together, there would still be some danger.
This situation attracted the attention of some forces under Qingyun’s rule. They looked at the Sima family’s Foundation Establishment cultivator with thoughtful expressions.
They all knew about the grudges between the Lu family of Jade Lake Mountain, the Jin family of Golden Dragon Ridge, and the Sima family of Black Tortoise Ridge.
Earlier, the Jin family’s Foundation Establishment cultivator had lost control.
Now the Sima family’s Foundation Establishment cultivator had lost control.
Could it be…
These people were inexplicably shocked in their hearts.
Especially the families who had previously instructed their disciples to directly kill any lone Lu family cultivators from Jade Lake Mountain if they encountered them, they suddenly felt uneasy.
Purple Nether Mystic Realm.
After Lu Chensha, Lu Qingyan, and Lu Mingfeng finished sorting out the Sima family’s spoils, they rested for a moment and then began to search for the Shangguan family’s whereabouts.
It was not easy to find a few people in the Purple Nether Mountain.
Lu Chensha followed his previous strategy and searched for the Shangguan family’s whereabouts through other people.
Finally, after three days, they obtained the approximate location of the Shangguan family.
Even with the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider, which was virtually invincible in killing along the way, Lu Chensha was still very cautious.
“Sister Yan, Mingfeng.”
Lu Chensha sensed that there was a battle ahead, and it was very likely the Shangguan family.
He signaled Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng to get ready and set up an ambush.
“Who?!”
There were five people in the Shangguan family, and they were very vigilant.
Even though they were far away, they still heard the commotion.
“Shangguan family, you killed my brothers and sisters before. Our Lu family will definitely avenge this hatred!”
Lu Mingfeng stepped forward, saw them, roared loudly, and threw out several Yin Thunder Pearls.
Then he immediately turned around and fled.
“Hmm!?”
“Lu family cultivators!”
“This person has a problem!”
The Shangguan family members had also been looking for the whereabouts of the Lu family members.
They had even found a few families friendly to Jade Lake Mountain and sent messages through them to the Lu family asking for help.
But at that time, Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng were seriously injured and didn’t dare to go out, so they didn’t take the bait.
Seeing Lu Mingfeng at this time, even though they could see that his situation was unusual, they still chose to pursue him.
“Be careful!”
Just a few steps out, the leading Shangguan family cultivator shouted loudly.
As blade cultivators, their abilities were somewhat similar to sword cultivators, and their spiritual sense was very keen.
They felt a sense of danger in the dark.
“This Shangguan family is indeed not simple!”
Lu Chensha thought to himself.
But in this battle, they were well prepared and completely fearless.
The Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider appeared!
“Hiss hiss hiss—”
A sharp and piercing sound rang out, seizing souls and spirits.
It made people involuntarily look at its ghost eyes.
“Not good, a second-tier demonic beast!”
“This is a Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider. Cover your ears and don’t look at its eyes!”
The foundation of a Core Formation family was not only combat power but also the family disciples’ knowledge of the cultivation world.
A Shangguan family cultivator recognized the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider and immediately shouted loudly.
The other four immediately became vigilant.
“Kill!”
Lu Qingyan, wearing golden armor, suddenly charged forward, a layer of golden light surging around her.
Her previous armor was already damaged. This was a top-tier magical artifact obtained from their spoils.
In addition to this magical artifact, she now had several defensive magical artifacts in her hands, armed to the teeth.
“Hmph, there’s a path to heaven, but you don’t take it; there’s no gate to hell, but you barge in. Since you want to die, then we will grant you your wish!”
“Let’s see where you get the guts from!”
Even though the five Shangguan family cultivators realized that Lu Mingfeng and Lu Qingyan were prepared, they were still filled with an invincible belief.
Killing intent instantly arose.
“Clang!!!”
Lu Qingyan and the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider directly confronted the five Shangguan family members head-on, while Lu Mingfeng controlled his flying sword from the side.
“Kill!”
A Shangguan family cultivator’s saber flashed with lightning, fierce and domineering.
If all five of them attacked together, a single Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider really wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
“Black Dragon Stab!”
Lu Qingyan’s face was cold and full of heroic spirit. She directly adopted a life-risking fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries, targeting one person to kill.
“Buzz buzz buzz—”
At this moment, Lu Chensha controlled the lurking Iron Fire Ants to charge out. They flew in front of a person and instantly self-destructed.
“Bang bang bang—”
The muffled thunder-like explosions directly severely injured a Shangguan family cultivator.
“Hiss hiss hiss—”
Under Lu Chensha’s command, the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider immediately used its spider legs like spears, attacking this person, trying to pierce his heart.
A Shangguan family cultivator next to him saw this and blocked the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider with his saber.
“Hmph!”
Lu Mingfeng threw another second-tier talisman at them.
Although the Shangguan family were blade cultivators, they also had second-tier talismans on hand.
“Boom boom boom—”
Bursts of violent explosions rang out, forcing a Shangguan family cultivator to slash at Lu Mingfeng.
“Roar—”
Lu Chensha’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and he suddenly darted out.
With a low roar, his voice was like the roar of ten thousand beasts. He unleashed a flying knife, and two pairs of Iron-backed Mantises charged out from his sleeves.
“Puff puff puff—”
His protective spiritual shield was broken, and several bloody marks appeared on his body.
“Die!”
Lu Mingfeng’s flying sword instantly struck out, delivering a finishing blow, directly cutting off his head, which was filled with resentment and unwillingness, and blood splattered!
“Thirteen!”
“Go!”
The remaining four Shangguan family members were shocked and angry when they saw this scene, their killing intent overwhelming.
But the death of this person instantly poured a bucket of cold water on them, and they felt a sense of foreboding.
The strength of the three Lu family members was not simple.
And there was this second-tier Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider.
If they continued to fight, they would also suffer heavy casualties.
After thinking and discussing, they decided to retreat and call for reinforcements!
As a Core Formation family, their Shangguan family had many affiliated families in the mystic realm!
“Hiss hiss hiss—”
The Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider seized the opportunity and instantly formed a spiritual impact.
They were just Qi Condensation cultivators, and even if they didn’t look at its eyes, it could still cause some interference and influence!
“Puff!”
The Shangguan family cultivator who was previously seriously injured by the Iron Fire Ants was sent flying by the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider’s leg, and then was pierced through the heart by Lu Qingyan’s spear, breathing his last.
The remaining three Shangguan family cultivators saw this scene and were very decisive. They activated second-tier escape talismans, shooting out like streaks of light.
“Where do you think you’re going!”
Lu Qingyan immediately activated a talisman and intercepted them with the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider.
At the same time, in the direction the three of them fled, a pitch-black centipede several feet long appeared, spitting poisonous mist at them and charging forward.
It was Lu Chensha’s Thousand-legged Centipede.
After being fed during these days, the Thousand-legged Centipede’s injuries had recovered.
“Kill!”
Lu Chensha and Lu Mingfeng also crushed an escape talisman and pursued them.
Lu Mingfeng’s substitute talisman was still there, so he fought very aggressively, as if he were fighting for his life.
Lu Chensha, however, always maintained his distance, ordering the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider to fight with its life.
A second-tier demon beast’s physical body was extremely powerful; even being struck a few times wasn’t a big issue.
“Pfft!”
A cultivator from the Shangguan family spat blood, but he forcefully suppressed his injuries and continued to flee.
Just like that, a thrilling chase and escape unfolded.
This commotion was quite alarming and attracted the attention of some people.
“This is… the Divine Blade Shangguan family. I recognize the leader; his name is Shangguan Sheng. I heard he’s one of the Shangguan family’s seeds. Why is he being hunted?!”
“Which family dares to chase the Shangguan family!”
“A second-tier demon beast! This is a second-tier demon beast! How is a second-tier demon beast chasing the Shangguan family along with these few people!”
Seeing the situation, these people quickly kept their distance, not daring to get involved.
“Roar—”
Although the three Shangguan family cultivators were fleeing, they were also waiting for an opportunity.
One of them saw a flaw appear in Lu Qingyan’s movements and suddenly slashed out with his blade, lightning flashing wildly, like a roaring thunder dragon, baring its fangs and claws, mighty and overbearing.
“Black Dragon Stab!”
Lu Qingyan directly met the attack head-on, but her protective spiritual barrier dimmed, and she flew backward, spitting out fresh blood.
“This Shangguan family is indeed not simple!”
Lu Chensha caught Lu Qingyan, his eyes slightly narrowed, and continued the pursuit.
Although the Shangguan family had their methods, it wasn’t easy for them to shake them off. During the process, they even encountered a group of people who offered assistance to the Shangguan family.
However, the soul-devouring effect of the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider was not something everyone could withstand!
Before they could even make a move, Lu Chensha took the initiative and instantly killed two people.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft—”
This kind of method scared the group into fleeing in a panic, knowing that this level of combat was completely beyond their ability to participate in.
At this moment, the heavily injured Shangguan family cultivator from before was also seized upon by Lu Qingyan, who directly exchanged injuries to intercept him.
“Pfft!”
The Iron Fire Ants and Iron-backed Mantises instantly swarmed forward, finishing off this person.
“Split up and run!”
Seeing this scene, the last two Shangguan family cultivators looked furious and their killing intent was sharp.
But they knew the tide had turned against them.
The two of them couldn’t possibly be a match for the three members of the Lu family, so they directly chose to flee in different directions.
“Kill this one first!”
At this time, both Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng were injured, and Lu Chensha wasn’t at ease letting them go after the other person.
Immediately, the three of them chased after one person.
Although the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider didn’t have a good sense of smell, after the recent battle, the poisonous mist of the Thousand-legged Centipede had memorized their scent. As long as they weren’t too far away, it could still pick up their aura.
The soul perception of the Filth God Worm also remembered the auras of the two people, and as long as they weren’t far, it could determine their approximate location.
“If you dare to kill me, my Shangguan family will definitely not spare you!”
After a long time, this Shangguan family cultivator shouted in despair.
When he returned home this time, he could attempt Foundation Establishment, with boundless prospects.
But now, he was being chased so miserably by a mere cultivator from a small fake core family, and was about to lose his life. His heart was filled with immense frustration.
“If that is your last wish, then you can die!”
Lu Chensha said coldly, controlling the Iron Fire Ants, along with the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider, Lu Qingyan, and Lu Mingfeng, to kill him.
Although this Shangguan family cultivator’s strength was extraordinary, surpassing the level of Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng.
But facing the encirclement and attack of three people, one beast, and a hundred insects, he could only fall down with a face full of resentment and unwillingness, his eyes wide in death.
“There’s one person left. This person will definitely hide until the secret realm ends before coming out. It might not be easy to find him.”
Lu Qingyan said, her face pale and tired.
“When the Purple Nether Secret Realm ends, the domain gate will open, and we’ll have another chance then!”
Lu Mingfeng’s aura was chaotic, and his face was pale.
“That’s right. As long as we intercept him the moment he appears, we can kill him!”
Lu Chensha said in a low voice.
With only one person left, and the other party hiding the entire time, it would be very difficult for him to find the other party.
“But doing that openly…”
Lu Qingyan frowned slightly.
“Sister Yan, the moment we chose to act, we formed a grudge with the Shangguan family. Why should we care about these things!”
“Their Shangguan family is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Sword Sect, far away, and won’t affect our family!”
Lu Chensha said directly.
After speaking, he paused and said in a low voice, “Besides, our family isn’t afraid of the Shangguan family…”
Others might not know their family’s foundation and his father’s strength, but he knew a thing or two.
Their own family was killed like this by the Shangguan family. If they couldn’t kill back, that would be the real shame!
Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng were stunned when they heard this, then nodded.
As members of the Lu family, it would be problematic if they didn’t have some awareness of their family’s situation.
It was just that they weren’t clear about the specific details of their family’s situation.
Immediately, the three of them sorted through the Shangguan family’s spoils.
“The Shangguan family’s gains are really abundant.”
“Sister Yan, Mingfeng, there are still five days until the Purple Nether Secret Realm ends. You should take more spiritual medicine first, otherwise it will be too wasteful to hand it over when we go out.”
Lu Chensha said to Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng, and he also took a few spiritual medicines to recover his state.
After recovering mostly, the few of them went back to find Lu Ziyun and the others.
After handing over some spiritual medicine to them, the three of them came to a high peak in the Purple Nether Mountain, waiting for the secret realm to end.
As long as the domain gate opened and this Shangguan family cultivator dared to show himself, the three of them would attack him.
“Boom—”
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
By relying on consuming a large amount of spiritual medicine for body tempering, Lu Qingyan’s body refinement finally crossed the last half-step and broke through to the second tier.
“Congratulations on your breakthrough, Sister Yan. Killing this person later will be even more assured.”
Lu Chensha said.
The Shangguan family cultivators were not simple.
It was still somewhat difficult to kill the opponent quickly while they were on guard.
“Such a waste, just to break through to the second tier.”
Although Lu Qingyan was happy, she felt a little heartache.
Almost half of the medicinal power of the spiritual medicine she had consumed during this time was wasted.
If it were taken back and refined into pills, it would be enough for several people to break through.
“Rumble—”
Several hours later, the Purple Nether Secret Realm ended.
Just then, in mid-air, a massive spatial gate suddenly appeared, like a black hole vortex, exuding an ancient and沧桑 aura.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
As the secret realm ended, many cultivators in the Purple Nether Mountain controlled their magic tools, flying swords, and spiritual birds, rushing into the gate to leave.
Many people could be seen to be injured.
Only the disciples of the Four Great Immortal Sects were relatively better off.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”
At this moment, the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider and the Filth God Worm alerted Lu Chensha, indicating that a figure had a familiar aura.
“It’s him!”
Lu Chensha instantly knew that this person was the disguised Shangguan cultivator who had escaped.
Although he had disguised his appearance and face.
But his aura was remembered by the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider and the Filth God Worm.
“Kill!”
The three of them stepped on their flying shuttles, their momentum fierce, and suddenly rushed towards this person to kill him.
“Hmm!?”
Other cultivators were surprised when they saw this scene.
They didn’t expect that someone would still be fighting even after the Purple Nether Secret Realm had ended.
However, seeing the fierce momentum and chilling killing intent of Lu Chensha and the other two, no one came to join the excitement.
“Damn it!”
Seeing this, the Shangguan family cultivator instantly knew he had been recognized, and his heart was filled with anger and frustration.
He, a direct descendant of a dignified Core Formation family, had never suffered such humiliation!
But knowing the methods of the three, he didn’t hesitate and crushed a defensive talisman.
Then, he suddenly slapped his chest, used some secret technique, and his speed increased dramatically, directly fleeing towards the gate.
“Black Dragon Stab!”
Lu Qingyan’s body refinement had broken through to the second tier. She suddenly stomped her foot, and her figure shot out like a black dragon, tearing through layers of air.
“Go!”
Lu Chensha chose to assist Lu Qingyan. The Iron Fire Ants approached this person and directly triggered their self-detonation.
His eight hundred Iron Fire Ants had already died more than three hundred in the previous battles.
At this moment, he directly detonated half of the remaining ones!
“Bang, bang, bang—”
Dull sounds rang out in succession, causing the light around the Shangguan family cultivator to dim, his blood and qi to churn, and his figure to become unstable.
“Kill!”
Looking at Lu Qingyan who was coming to kill him, the Shangguan family cultivator suddenly drew his blade and slashed fiercely, purple lightning flashing, using this power to continue rushing towards the domain gate.
“It’s them!?”
“It’s Shangguan Fei!”
Immediately, some cultivators recognized this Shangguan family cultivator through this single strike.
Some people who had seen Lu Chensha and the others fighting the Shangguan family before were horrified.
They didn’t expect that the Shangguan family would be killed so miserably, and were now being blocked and killed in front of the domain gate.
“Brother Shangguan, I’ll help you!”
Immediately, friendly families of the Shangguan family took action, unleashing their flying swords to intercept Lu Qingyan.
“Get lost!”
Lu Qingyan’s might was fierce, and she charged forward without hesitation.
“Clang, clang, clang—”
Now that Lu Qingyan’s body refinement had broken through to the second tier, her strength was in the top tier within the secret realm. With one strike of her spear, she sent the intercepting flying sword flying and continued to kill towards Shangguan Fei.
“Are you sure you want to get involved in the grudge between us and this person!”
Lu Chensha, dressed in a green robe, stood on the flying shuttle, looking at these people with a cold expression, his Iron Fire Ants and Iron-backed Mantises in his hand killing towards one person.
Lu Mingfeng, who was beside him, directly crushed a second-tier talisman and threw it out, intimidating everyone.
“Which family is this, daring to be an enemy of the Shangguan family!”
“How is it that only one person is left from the Shangguan family? I remember they came with six people!”
“To actually kill the Shangguan family until only one person is left, how overbearing, too overbearing!”
At this time, the battle also attracted the attention of many people, who were surprised and shocked.
Compared to the Divine Blade Shangguan family, the Lu family of Emerald Lake Mountain had a much smaller reputation in the Jiang Kingdom cultivation world.
Even though many people had heard of Emerald Lake Mountain, or the names Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, they didn’t recognize the disciples of the Lu family.
“Pfft!”
Under Lu Qingyan’s continuous attacks, Shangguan Fei coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.
But his strength was extraordinary, and even Lu Qingyan found it difficult to kill him in a short time.
“Bang!”
At this moment, he used Lu Qingyan’s attack to send himself flying backward, and then rushed into the domain gate.
At this time, Lu Qingyan’s hands were not only covered in injuries, but several dark scales appeared on her beautiful cheeks. Her entire body shot out, and at this instant, her long spear pierced directly through his back.
“Buzz!”
However, at this moment, a pulling force surged from the domain gate, and the two of them felt the world spin.
Outside the Purple Nether Secret Realm.
On the central altar, a massive gate stood, exuding an ancient and沧桑 aura.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Figures flew out of the secret realm one after another.
In mid-air, the fake core ancestor of the Shangguan family stood on a divine boat, his face ashen, his hands tightly clenched, staring intently at the domain gate.
Just then.
“Thud!”
From the swirling black hole, a man and a woman flew out horizontally.
The woman was wearing dark gold armor, and the long spear in her hand was piercing through the man’s back.
“Ancestor, save me!”
The man’s throat was choked, and he looked up at the sky, his voice hoarse as he shouted.
“Fei’er!”
The ancestor of the Shangguan family immediately became furious when he saw this, and a voice like a clap of thunder echoed through the heavens and earth: “How dare you, junior!”
