Chapter 572: Lian Zhan Shangguan Poyun! Xiyue Zhenren came to congratulate!
Hearing the start of the battle, the Ghost-Masked Soul-Devouring Spider beside Lu Chensha instantly attacked Shangguan Poyun.
Its eight gleaming spider legs moved rapidly, and on its hideous ghost-mask face, its eight ghostly eyes emitted a flickering, terrifying light, forming an invisible wave, eerie and terrifying.
“Ah, my head hurts so much!”
“What’s going on?”
“Not good, don’t look at this spider’s eyes.”
Some cultivators who looked at the Ghost-Masked Soul-Devouring Spider’s ghostly eyes immediately became dazed, dizzy, as if their souls were about to be absorbed by this spider.
“Below Foundation Establishment, or those who have just broken through to Foundation Establishment, don’t look at this Ghost-Masked Soul-Devouring Spider.”
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng gently raised his palm, cast a Mind-Awakening Talisman, and said in a deep voice.
Even with the formation isolating them, those with too low cultivation and too weak souls would still be affected.
Ling Zixiao also adjusted the formation plate, raising the battlefield formation by one level, making it impossible for Qi Refining cultivators to watch the battle.
“Hiss, what a terrifying Ghost-Masked Soul-Devouring Spider! No wonder it’s a Earth-Rank demon beast!”
“How did this child subdue such a ferocious demon beast!”
Many Foundation Establishment ancestors looked at the Ghost-Masked Soul-Devouring Spider, also feeling frightened and horrified.
It’s already so astonishing at the early Second Order.
If it grows to the late Second Order, the peak, how terrifying would it be!
Facing the attacking Ghost-Masked Soul-Devouring Spider, Shangguan Poyun was prepared. After slashing out with the Lightning Blade in his hand, he directly attacked Lu Chensha.
He was brought here by the Shangguan Ancestor to cause trouble, so his strength was naturally extraordinary.
With a single slash, lightning surged crackling, and even the Ghost-Masked Soul-Devouring Spider with the top-tier Earth-Rank bloodline did not dare to face it head-on.
“Clang, jingle-jangle—”
Lu Chensha’s expression was indifferent. A string of exquisite and small bells appeared in his hand, and he gently shook them. Beside him, the Thousand-Legged Centipede spat out venom, and poisonous fog billowed.
This string of Myriad Beast Bells was his Natal spirit artifact.
It could not only deter myriad beasts and enhance the strength of his spirit beasts, but also interfere with the enemy’s mind, complementing his Ghost-Masked Soul-Devouring Spider.
“Divine Lightning Blade Intent!”
Shangguan Poyun’s body was covered with lightning arcs, forming a protective magic shield. His eyes and pupils glowed with infinite purple light, suppressing his mind and splitting through the layers of poisonous fog.
Seeing this, Lu Chensha shook the bells in his hand, and one of them flew out, bursting with brilliant yellow light.
“Roar!”
The next moment, a terrifying and ferocious image of a striped tiger emerged from the yellow bell, roaring at Shangguan Poyun, forming a terrifying sonic attack, and a hurricane swept through.
Even Shangguan Poyun’s face turned slightly pale in the face of this attack, and he staggered back.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”
The Thousand-Legged Centipede immediately attacked Shangguan Poyun, but the latter instantly stabilized his figure and slashed out five afterimages of lightning saber energies, forming an explosive offensive that caused the Thousand-Legged Centipede to roar in pain.
“The Divine Blade Shangguan Family, as expected, lives up to its reputation. Although this centipede is at the early Second Order, its bloodline is extraordinary, yet it was forced back by Shangguan Poyun with a single slash.”
The name of the Divine Blade Shangguan Family shook the Jiang Kingdom, but not many people had truly witnessed it.
At this moment, many people gained insight and had a better understanding of the strength and heritage of a Core Formation family.
Watching Shangguan Poyun constantly attacking him, Lu Chensha completely avoided confronting him head-on.
He continued to shake the Myriad Beast Bells in his hand, and one of them burst forth with a dark light, forming a cheetah-like phantom that circled around him, making his entire person swift and elusive, like a ghost.
His Myriad Beast Bells were not simple. Each one was inlaid with a demon beast crystal core, containing a spell.
“This Lu Chensha’s spirit artifact is so mysterious!”
“This artifact seems to have been refined with multiple beast souls, allowing him to borrow the power of demon beasts.”
“Not only that, look at the crystal clear luster of his bells. They seem to be demon beast crystal cores. It is estimated that each activation will burn the crystal core’s origin.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, before, Lu Wangshu was using talismans and puppets, and this Lu Chensha is raising two Second Order spirit beasts. I don’t know how many resources he is spending. The spirit artifacts he uses are also so expensive. It’s simply blatant money-burning!”
“Alas, who told him to have a good father?”
Some people saw through some of Lu Chensha’s fighting methods and sighed with emotion.
Although everyone in the cultivation world knew the benefits of having a good spirit pet.
Most cultivators simply did not have the extra resources to cultivate spirit pets.
Even if they obtained a Earth-Rank or even Heaven-Rank demon beast cub, they would not know when they could raise it.
The same was true for magic tools and spirit artifacts. They basically chose durability.
Where would they be willing to be like Lu Chensha, embedding crystal cores to enhance the power of spirit artifacts?
“Didn’t Chensha also raise many Iron Fire Ants? Why isn’t he using them?”
“He wouldn’t want to play big like Sister Wangshu, would he?”
The Lu family disciples watched Lu Chensha and Shangguan Poyun constantly maneuvering in the battlefield, pondering in their hearts.
Others didn’t know, but a few of them knew that in addition to the two Second Order spirit beasts, Lu Chensha also raised a group of Iron Fire Ants.
In order to cultivate the two spirit beasts and the Iron Fire Ants, Lu Chensha would go to the Black Cloud Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts whenever he had time.
In recent years, the Black Cloud Mountain Range, which already didn’t have many demon beasts, had almost been completely cleaned up by Lu Chensha.
“This beast control technique is not bad.”
Lu Changsheng looked at his son Lu Chensha and nodded slightly, not minding that his son wasn’t using his full strength.
When going out, who would use all their methods at once?
This competition almost gathered 90% of the forces in the Azure Cloud Region.
If all his trump cards were used, everyone would know his methods in the future, and they would all be on guard.
Moreover, Iron Fire Ants, as swarm-type fierce insects on the Strange Insect Ranking, are difficult to cultivate.
Lu Chensha has so many Iron Fire Ants in his hands, completely relying on the Insect Nest Pouch, which would be a big problem in the eyes of others.
“No wonder this child was able to shine in the Violet Abyss Secret Realm.”
Shangguan Ancestor’s eyes were deep, seeing that Lu Chensha’s cultivation method was extraordinary.
“In addition to the talisman inheritance, the Lu family actually has such a top-tier beast control inheritance. If we also consider Lu Ping’an’s body refining technique and the method of raising Dao soldiers…”
He glanced at Lu Changsheng without showing any emotion, and then transmitted his voice to Shangguan Poyun: “Poyun, try to end this quickly!”
As a Core Formation True Person, he could see that Lu Chensha was engaging in a war of attrition with Shangguan Poyun, waiting for an opportunity.
Lu Chensha had two Second Order spirit beasts. One used soul fluctuations to interfere with the mind, and the other used poisonous fog to pollute and consume mana. Over time, it would be very disadvantageous to Shangguan Poyun.
Shangguan Poyun naturally understood this principle.
But the current Lu Chensha and his two spirit pets formed a Three Talents Formation, not giving him any chance at all.
“Divine Lightning Nine Strikes!”
He suddenly gritted his teeth, let out a low shout, his entire body’s mana roared, and lightning arcs surged.
The injuries caused by Lu Wangshu before were difficult to suppress, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
“Boom!”
The saber light was like thunder, swift as lightning, slashing horizontally.
Nine consecutive slashes, like a rolling sea of thunder, surging in all directions, attacking Lu Chensha.
Seeing this, Lu Chensha directly threw out the bells in his hand.
“Jingle-jangle—”
The nine bells of the Myriad Beast Bells rang wildly, blooming with mysterious light, as if thousands of fierce beasts were roaring together, rapidly vibrating, fierce and destructive.
“Spirit Fox Seal!”
At the same time, Lu Chensha formed hand seals, and a dreamlike Golden-Eyed White Fox appeared in front of him, interfering with and affecting Shangguan Poyun’s mind.
Under the influence of the Ghost-Masked Soul-Devouring Spider and the Myriad Beast Bells, Shangguan Poyun was already struggling, relying on his saber intent and spirit to support himself.
Facing the sudden Spirit Fox Seal, he was caught off guard and slightly lost his mind.
“Now’s the time!”
Lu Chensha seized the opportunity and attacked Shangguan Poyun together with his two spirit beasts.
“Kill!”
Shangguan Poyun bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, regained consciousness, his lightning saber went berserk, slashing out a roaring lightning dragon, breaking through the Ghost-Masked Soul-Devouring Spider and Thousand-Legged Centipede’s attacks.
But the Myriad Beast Bells smashed in front of him like a string of agate bracelets, causing him to stagger back, his protective magic shield shattered and dimmed.
“Although this Lu Chensha is only at the third level of Foundation Establishment, one level lower than Shangguan Poyun, his two Second Order spirit beasts are simply unsolvable!”
“Not only that, this child is countering every move throughout the entire process. He clearly has methods but doesn’t use them. Just like this spirit artifact, it can not only interfere with divine sense and launch sonic attacks, but it also has such offensive power, yet he waited until now to use it.”
“He wouldn’t want to wait for an opportunity for a one-hit kill like Lu Wangshu, would he?”
“This child follows the path of beast control and is not good at frontal attacks. It’s not a problem to use spirit beasts to maneuver tactically.”
As a sword cultivator, Shangguan Poyun could probably fight even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in a one-on-one situation. It’s a pity he encountered Lu Wangshu and Lu Chensha one after another.
He was already injured from his fight with Lu Wangshu. If this drags on, he won’t be able to outlast Lu Chensha.
The surrounding cultivators discussed amongst themselves, already losing hope for Shangguan Poyun.
After all, talisman cultivators and beast-controlling cultivators are both good at prolonged battles of attrition.
If Shangguan Poyun can’t gain an advantage in the beginning, it will be difficult to turn the tables.
I didn’t expect True Person Lu to possess such a beast-controlling inheritance. It’s probably no weaker than the Xu family, who specializes in beast control.
Ancestor Shangguan turned a blind eye to Shangguan Poyun’s losing situation and said calmly.
Lu Changsheng: “?”
I didn’t expect you, with your thick eyebrows and upright appearance, to resort to such a tactic of praising to kill.
It’s just that the incomplete cultivation technique my son obtained can’t compare to noble families like yours and the Xu family, who have inherited their techniques for thousands of years.
Lu Changsheng didn’t bother showing off such meaningless things.
However, so many top-tier inheritances of his family were indeed shocking in the eyes of others.
Seeing Shangguan Poyun becoming more and more courageous on the battlefield, attacking Lu Chensha like a madman, Lu Changsheng also spoke, “The noble family is indeed well-versed in knowledge. This young friend Shangguan is actually cultivating demonic techniques.”
This sword technique is called ‘Demonic Sword Art’. Although it appears to be a demonic art, it is actually an upright and proper Xuanmen sword technique. It emphasizes subduing the demonic intent within the sword, obtaining the sword and forgetting the sword. It’s just that this junior has only barely scratched the surface and hasn’t been able to subdue the demonic intent."
Ancestor Shangguan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression unchanged, and said calmly.
“I see.”
Lu Changsheng chuckled.
With his discerning eyes, how could he not see that this was a demonic sword technique?
It stimulates potential through demonic intent, forgetting injuries and pain, and even ignoring the mental attacks of the Ghost-Faced Soul-Devouring Spider.
However, this kind of technique is at most a demonic life-risking technique, and everyone won’t take it too seriously.
Even the four great immortal sects turn a blind eye to it.
If you haven’t subdued the demonic intent, you should still be careful when using it. Otherwise, you may suffer mental derangement and confusion, or even cultivation deviation, causing your vital energy to flow in reverse and your body to explode and die."
Lu Changsheng saw that Shangguan Poyun was being affected and said calmly.
“Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Lu.”
Ancestor Shangguan said indifferently.
Shangguan Poyun, who was using the Demonic Sword Art, was no longer disturbed by the Ghost-Faced Soul-Devouring Spider, and his attacks suddenly became much fiercer, forcing Lu Chensha to retreat repeatedly, trying to break through his attacks.
“Hmph, trying to break my Ghost-Faced Soul-Devouring Spider’s attack in this way is simply courting death!”
In the depths of Lu Chensha’s eyes, a hint of sternness appeared.
Everyone thought that Lu Chensha only had two spirit pets, the Ghost-Faced Soul-Devouring Spider and the Thousand-Legged Centipede.
Little did they know that in addition to these two spirit pets, he also had twelve hundred Iron Fire Ants and a Defiled Divine Insect with a heaven-grade bloodline!
After so many years of nurturing, the Defiled Divine Insect had evolved a skill—Soul Spider Silk!
This skill is very simple.
It can form a strand of soul spider silk to attach to the souls of others.
Although it can only attach to the souls of dead demon beasts or first-order demon beasts now.
But Shangguan Poyun’s soul is now unstable, with flaws appearing in his mind, making it perfect for attacking with soul spider silk!
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
Shangguan Poyun, who was using the Demonic Sword Art, became more and more courageous, his face full of killing intent, his eyes even bloodshot, as if he had a deep blood feud with Lu Chensha.
But at this moment, his bloodshot eyes met Lu Chensha’s cold and intimidating eyes.
“Soul Spider Silk!”
With a wave of Lu Chensha’s hand, an invisible spider silk appeared, attaching to Shangguan Poyun’s frenzied and unstable soul, and then suddenly yanked!
“Pfft!”
Shangguan Poyun’s face suddenly turned pale, he spat out blood, and the demonic intent of the Demonic Sword Art instantly filled his brain, making him seem like he was suffering from cultivation deviation.
“Not good!”
Seeing that Shangguan Poyun’s situation was not right, and that Lu Chensha was about to use his spirit beasts to trade injuries for injuries and kill Shangguan Poyun, Ancestor Shangguan immediately raised his hand and shouted, “Stop!”
His voice was loud and clear, like a thunderclap, deafening.
“Clang!”
The thunder sword in Shangguan Poyun’s hand fell, the bloodshot in his eyes receded, his whole body half-knelt, his face pale, dazed and confused, gasping for breath.
“What’s going on! ?”
“What’s wrong with Shangguan Poyun!”
“Lu Chensha’s methods, or is it the backlash of sword intent, cultivation deviation! ?”
“Chensha, well done!”
Ninety percent of the cultivators in the field didn’t see what was going on, but some guessed that it was related to Lu Chensha, and they were all extremely shocked.
Lu Changsheng knew that Lu Chensha had trump cards and was not afraid of Shangguan Poyun.
But he didn’t expect Lu Chensha to directly make Shangguan Poyun’s mind unstable, his brain filled with demonic intent, and suffer from cultivation deviation.
He immediately said slowly, “Fellow Daoist Shangguan, it’s better not to teach this kind of sword technique, otherwise it will harm others and yourself.”
“I don’t need True Person Lu’s concern.”
Ancestor Shangguan heard the sarcasm in his words, and his face was a little unsightly.
It’s not that he can’t afford to lose.
But Shangguan Poyun’s situation was indeed a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, it was just a friendly spar, and he was watching from the sidelines.
If it were outside, Shangguan Poyun used the Demonic Sword Art and suffered cultivation deviation, causing a massacre in a certain market, his Shangguan family would be difficult to deal with.
“Father, Senior Shangguan.”
Lu Chensha took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and cupped his hands towards the two of them.
In this battle, he also consumed a lot of energy, and both of his spirit pets suffered considerable injuries.
“Well, not bad.”
Lu Changsheng nodded towards his son, very satisfied.
Compared to Lu Wangshu’s fighting style, Lu Chensha’s victory over Shangguan Poyun was a fair and square one.
“Truly, like father, like son, a hero emerges at a young age.”
Losing the battle but not the spirit, Shangguan Zhan still showed the magnanimity of a Golden Core True Person, and the Sky Thunder Meteorite Iron and the Jade Liquid Marrow Cleansing Pill appeared in his hand.
Lu Chensha did not hesitate to choose the Jade Liquid Marrow Cleansing Pill for these two rewards.
After all, Shangguan Poyun’s current state means he probably won’t fight again.
If he doesn’t take it, wouldn’t it be a waste!
However, the other members of the Lu family were very tempted when they saw that Shangguan Zhan still had one reward in his hand.
Lu Ruyi immediately stepped forward and said with cupped hands, “Senior Shangguan, can this Fellow Daoist Poyun fight again? This junior is Lu Ruyi, and I would like to learn about the Shangguan family’s divine powers.”
“.”
The cultivators in the field were speechless for a while.
Shangguan Poyun is already so injured, even if he can fight again, his strength will be greatly reduced, and he won’t be Lu Ruyi’s opponent.
Ancestor Shangguan’s face also twitched.
Although he seemed generous, taking out three treasures to make a show.
But he never expected such a result. Shangguan Poyun lost two battles in a row, which was extremely painful.
Now the Lu family members are not playing fair, and they even want to win the last Sky Thunder Meteorite Iron.
“Ruyi, Young Friend Shangguan is already seriously injured. It’s a bit bullying for you to challenge him now. Even if you win, it won’t be a glorious victory.”
Lu Changsheng was worried that Ancestor Shangguan would not accept the challenge, so he immediately spoke, and then said to his son Lu Qingxuan, “In this way, Xuan’er, you just broke through Foundation Establishment not long ago, come and learn some tricks from Young Friend Shangguan.”
Lu Qingxuan awakened the Taiyi Soul Body, and his cultivation directly broke through the third level of Foundation Establishment.
But at this grand ceremony, as the head of the Lu family, he was responsible for hosting, so Lu Changsheng, in order to prevent him from being noticed, used the Nine Treasure Ruyi Bone to seal his cultivation at the first level of Foundation Establishment.
“Hiss”
Although Lu Changsheng’s words were very polite, seemingly thinking for Shangguan Poyun’s sake, the cultivators present all heard a hint of gunpowder.
What do you mean by bullying and not a glorious victory, and then calling a son who just broke through Foundation Establishment to challenge? Isn’t this looking down on the Shangguan family?
You must know that Shangguan Poyun is, after all, the top genius of the Shangguan family.
Even if he lost two battles in a row and is in a state of weakness, he is not someone that everyone can bully.
However, the two Golden Core old ancestors were secretly competing, and these people naturally did not dare to participate in the discussion, but carefully sized up Lu Qingxuan.
Many old ancestors recognized that this son was the current head of the Lu family, the son of Lu Changsheng and the mistress of the Lu family, Lu Miaoge.
“Uh”
Among the crowd, Lu Qingxuan, wearing a green brocade robe, with a handsome face and gentle temperament, was slightly stunned when he heard the words.
However, he was always intelligent and instantly understood his father’s meaning.
First, the Shangguan family came to make trouble at their home, so their family doesn’t need to be polite, and they should beat them back severely to tell the outside world that their Green Ripple Mountain is not someone who can be bullied!
Second, he serves as the head of the Lu family and has just broken through Foundation Establishment not long ago, so he needs a certain amount of prestige.
And this battle is a good opportunity to show off.
“Junior Lu Qingxuan greets Senior Shangguan, greets fellow Daoist Shangguan.”
He stepped forward a few steps, cupping his hands in salute, like a modest gentleman.
“Tsk, these descendants of the Lu family are all handsome men and beautiful women.”
“This son is the son of True Person Lu and the Lu family’s female lord Lu Miaoge, and is quite favored. I’m afraid he is not simple.”
“I wonder what money-burning methods he possesses.”
The cultivators in the arena sized up Lu Qingxuan, pondering in their hearts.
“Since True Person Lu has spoken, Poyun, you should properly exchange blows with this young friend.”
Shangguan Old Ancestor said, but his tone was a bit colder.
“Yes, Old Ancestor!”
Shangguan Poyun, as the top genius of the Shangguan family and a seed for Core Formation, naturally possessed a sense of arrogance.
Losing to Lu Wangshu and Lu Chensha had already made him extremely frustrated.
Now, a mere Foundation Establishment junior actually dared to challenge him.
In normal times, he would kill such Foundation Establishment cultivators with a single strike!
After taking the healing medicine given by the Old Ancestor, Shangguan Poyun gripped his Thunder Blade tightly, coldly looking at Lu Qingxuan.
“Xuan’er, this child’s divine soul is unstable. Later, you can directly use the Six Desires Demonic Heart Art.”
Lu Changsheng transmitted his voice to his son, giving instructions.
Although this battle was somewhat playful and impulsive,
calling his son Lu Qingxuan to the stage was also to give him an opportunity to show off, hoping he would perform well.
Lu Qingxuan nodded slightly upon hearing this, indicating that he understood.
In this battle, he not only had to win, but also had to win beautifully!
“Let’s begin.”
Seeing that the two were ready, Lu Changsheng announced.
“Whoosh!”
As soon as the voice fell, Shangguan Poyun was like an unsheathed peerless treasured blade, with its sharp edge fully exposed, aggressively attacking Lu Qingxuan.
Having experienced the previous two battles, he strived for a quick victory in this battle.
“Pfft! Pfft—”
Shangguan Poyun swept towards Lu Qingxuan like lightning, and the Thunder Blade in his hand suddenly slashed out, stirring up bursts of thunder.
“Chizz chizz chizz—”
However, his domineering slash with the force of thunder inexplicably struck empty, causing his figure to become somewhat unsteady.
“Hmm!?”
Shangguan Poyun’s eyes were cold and stern, not knowing what was happening.
Lu Qingxuan was clearly in front of him, and his blade had also struck the opponent, but it inexplicably struck empty.
In a flash of lightning, the Thunder Blade in his hand slashed horizontally, drawing a thick arc of lightning, aiming to bisect Lu Qingxuan at the waist.
However, Lu Qingxuan seemed like a phantom, clearly in front of him, but when the blade struck his body, there was no sense of substance, as if striking empty.
“What kind of method is this!?”
Shangguan Poyun’s heart was filled with shock, and he immediately unleashed the Divine Thunder Nine Strikes, Heavenly Punishment Five Thunders, wildly brandishing the Thunder Blade in his hand, forming a rolling sea of thunder, stirring up the ten directions.
“This…”
“What method is Lu Qingxuan using!?”
“Could it be a divine sense illusion?”
“But this child has only just broken through to Foundation Establishment, how could he create a divine sense illusion for Shangguan Poyun!?”
“Although Shangguan Poyun is a blade cultivator with a firm will, he almost suffered a qi deviation in the previous battle with Lu Chensha, and his divine soul is unstable…”
At this moment, the onlookers were all shocked as they watched Shangguan Poyun wildly slashing at the air.
This kind of method was too astonishing!
One must know that sword cultivators and blade cultivators, because they condense sword intent and blade intent, have much more stable divine souls than ordinary cultivators.
But now, Shangguan Poyun was trapped in Lu Qingxuan’s divine sense illusion, unable to extricate himself.
“True Person Lu has good methods!”
Shangguan Old Ancestor could no longer bear to watch his descendant in such a state.
“Today, I have learned about the Lu family’s divine abilities and witnessed the Lu family’s heroes. This old man has other matters to attend to and will not stay long.”
As he spoke, he directly threw the Skythunder Meteorite Iron to Lu Qingxuan, then used his magic power to grab Shangguan Poyun and left directly.
Today, he had originally intended to find trouble, but ended up becoming a treasure-delivering old man. No one would have a good expression.
“Fellow Daoist Shangguan, walk slowly.”
Lu Changsheng stepped forward to see him off.
Although the other party came to cause trouble, at least they could afford to lose.
They were somewhat similar to the sword cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect, with a rigid and straightforward personality.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng was unwilling to completely offend them and was willing to ease the situation, treating it as a case of ’no discord, no concord.’
Moreover, his family’s development policy was to value harmony, make friends widely, and generate wealth through harmony.
“Fellow Daoist Shangguan came today to present such a generous gift. These are a few talismans drawn by Lu, which will be given as a return gift.”
“This bottle of Soul Nourishing Pills has the effect of nourishing the mind and will be of some help to this young friend’s condition.”
Lu Changsheng took out three third-tier high-grade talismans and a bottle of pills from his storage ring and said.
“Hmm!?”
Shangguan Old Ancestor did not expect Lu Changsheng to actually give a return gift.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the three talismans in Lu Changsheng’s hand.
Although he could not see what kind of talismans they were at a glance, he could tell from the grade of the talismans that Lu Changsheng was not trying to humiliate him, but was being sincere.
“Regarding the matter in the Violet Abyss Secret Realm, Lu does not want to say much about the competition between the juniors, but Lu has just broken through to Core Formation and does not want to form a grudge with your esteemed family.”
“If possible, I even hope that the two families can have more interactions. After all, our two families are far apart and have no conflicting interests.”
Lu Changsheng said with a calm expression.
It is better to resolve enmities than to create them.
His family and the Shangguan family did not have any deep-seated hatred.
Therefore, if he could prevent the situation from escalating, Lu Changsheng was unwilling to escalate it.
Otherwise, once the wasteland war began, the two families would inevitably engage in open and secret struggles, causing the situation to continue to escalate.
Although he was not afraid, he was unwilling to add trouble.
Of course, if the Shangguan family insisted on entangling, he would not be afraid and would just have to find an opportunity to kill them.
“This old man has always been willing to accept defeat, and my Shangguan family can also afford to lose!”
Shangguan Zhan pondered for a moment, accepted Lu Changsheng’s return gift, and said in a loud voice.
If he really wanted to fight the Lu family to the death, he would not have come today.
He would have secretly attacked the Lu family before.
He had come today simply to find trouble.
Who would have thought that he would lose face and lose a treasure.
“Fellow Daoist Shangguan is indeed a senior with experience, straightforward. Today, young friend Poyun faced three opponents alone. Our Lu family’s victory was also not honorable. Fellow Daoist can visit again in the future to exchange experiences and promote the growth of the two families’ disciples.”
Seeing that the other party had accepted the return gift, Lu Changsheng immediately said warmly.
In both cases, his family had taken advantage.
It would not hurt to say a few kind words at this time.
Moreover, the Divine Blade Shangguan family did indeed have extraordinary abilities.
If the two families held a family disciple exchange meeting every few years, it would also be beneficial to the Lu family.
“Alright.”
Although Shangguan Old Ancestor was very unhappy, Lu Changsheng’s attitude eased his mood a bit.
However, he did not chat with Lu Changsheng much. After saying a few simple words, he drove his divine rainbow and left with Shangguan Poyun.
A moment later, Lu Changsheng returned to the Lakeside Island.
He saw the Lu family disciples discussing and asking what methods Lu Chensha and Lu Qingxuan had used just now.
Especially Lu Qingxuan, whose final method was simply astonishing.
“Father!”
“Dad!”
“Greetings, True Person Lu.”
When these people saw Lu Changsheng, they all respectfully saluted.
“Do not add fuel to the fire or overly publicize today’s matter with the Shangguan family.”
Lu Changsheng said lightly.
“This child understands!”
“Please rest assured, True Person, we understand!”
These Lu family disciples and guests heard this and immediately responded respectfully, guessing that Lu Changsheng should have talked to Shangguan Old Ancestor just now to ease the relationship between the two families.
Immediately, the ceremony continued.
Just as Lu Changsheng was exchanging cups with several guests, he suddenly sensed two Core Formation-level magic power auras approaching.
One of the magic powers was very familiar.
The next moment, two loud announcements rang out.
“The Azure Cloud Sect’s True Person Baiyun has come to offer congratulations!”
“The Azure Cloud Sect’s True Person Xiyue has come to offer congratulations!”
All the guest cultivators were shocked upon hearing this, not expecting that the Azure Cloud Sect had actually sent two Core Formation True Persons.
Although this Core Formation ceremony was extremely lively,
families like the Beast Taming Xu family, the Five Elements Wang family, and the White Deer Ning family had only sent one Pseudo-Core representative.
