Chapter 162
162 New move
Li Yanling’s attempt to persuade her master wasn’t successful.
He was helpless.
If hai Sande did not say anything, it would be difficult for her to leave without saying goodbye. If that was the case, there would be some intention of breaking up, and it had not reached that step yet.
However, since Lu chaoxi was around now, some of the problems were not that difficult to deal with.
She peacefully cultivated in her closed-door cultivation room. Her master, hai Sande, and Kong Tong had a tacit understanding that neither of them would show up, so as not to let the situation escalate to a point where it was too serious. Lu chaoxi was in charge of blocking those who came to cause trouble.
Lu chaoxi’s strength was not considered strong in a place like the Qingfeng sect. It was not that Li Yanling had not asked her senior brothers and sisters to help protect Lu chaoxi, but it had been useless. They had specifically asked her to do it, but what could she do?
After Lu chaoxi’s arrival, Li Yanling felt much more comfortable. She could have turned on the formation in the quiet room on her own and isolated herself from the sounds and movements outside. She could have let Lu chaoxi handle the matters outside.
Lu chaoxi was able to do things that his more powerful senior brothers and sisters could not because of his status.
He was a member of the Lu family, not a cultivator of the sect. Even though he was only a guest elder of the sect, there were some things that he did not have to give face to, and some rules did not apply to him. At the same time, he was also Li Yanling’s fiancé. This identity would allow him to better represent Li Yanling.
Of course, if that was all, he might still encounter some of the sect’s enforcement Hall’s enforcement measures. However, even though the news that Zhao Zhengdong had spread about ‘Lu qingye coming to the Qingfeng sect’ was a misunderstanding, it still had a great effect.
When the faction of the sect leader thought that Lu Qing was actually here, they did not dare to take any more forceful measures.
Just like that, Li Yanling cultivated in peace for two years.
In addition to the previous accumulation, the external elixir was already more than half complete.
if things continued like this, and the sect leader didn’t come up with any new methods, then in two years, Li Yanling would have finished her external elixir and everything would be fine.
After a cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage refined the Golden core into his own external elixir, its nature had completely changed and it only belonged to the cultivator. If he wanted to take it away again, he would have to kill her directly and purify this external elixir again. Otherwise, there was no other way.
However, it was clear that these people who had used so many tricks in the dark to stop Li Yanling from refining the external pill would not give up so easily.
At that moment, Lu chaoxi was cultivating with his eyes closed on the xuanqing peak. The concentration of spirit Qi in a level five spirit Meridian was simply intoxicating. After the initial enlightenment, he had spent most of his time cultivating by stimulating the spiritual energy in the spiritual stones. This spiritual energy had a somewhat impure feeling. Although it could maintain normal cultivation and would not have any bad effects, it was not as carefree as absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. And to enjoy a level 5 spiritual pulse on the xuanqing peak, even the air was sweet.
However, while he was cultivating, he suddenly received a piece of news from his family. The Huang family of Pingan County had been surrounded, and they had sent a distress message to the Lu family.
The head of the Huang family was Huang shengxi. They were originally from a small clan in anling city. As the clan head, Huang shengxi had taken the risk to try building his Foundation without the foundation building elixir. In the end, he had succeeded by luck, but he had been restricted by a lack of resources. His days in anling city had been very uncomfortable.
At Lu chaoxi and Li Yanling’s engagement ceremony, Huang shengxi, as the head of the Huang family, took the risk and accepted the mission of helping the Lu family head to Pingan County and take control of the original Zhao family’s headquarters.
After the crew moved there, things didn’t go well from the beginning. The remaining 30 to 40 Qi refining cultivators of the Zhao family were very unfriendly to the Huang family. However, even though the Huang clan did not have a large population and had less than 20 cultivators, they were still very United. Furthermore, with Huang shengxi, a Foundation establishment cultivator, overseeing them, the cultivators of the Zhao clan could not do anything to them.
Over the years, more than ten cultivators of the Zhao family had died in the conflicts. After further bloody lessons, they gradually let go of many interests that they couldn’t protect at all. They tacitly agreed that even in Pingan County, they couldn’t even win against the Huang family.
Even though one-third of the mortals in the entire County had the surname Zhao, many of the work done by the Huang clan had not been carried out smoothly. This was reflected in Lu Qing’s system. The Lu clan’s control over Pingan County through the Huang clan was less than 40%. This had severely delayed the Lu clan’s achievement of controlling the entire anling Prefecture. However, these things had to be pushed forward step by step. If they were patient, as long as the Zhao clan of the sect did not interfere, they would definitely lose to the Huang clan in the end.
However, just half a month ago, the Zhao clan suddenly made a move. They attacked and killed two cultivators of the Huang family, as well as several loose cultivators who had assisted the Huang family. On the other hand, Huang shengxi was ambushed when he went to investigate and returned with serious injuries. They could only defend Huang Yishan to the death now, and the enemies they faced were three foundation building cultivators who had come out of nowhere. At least two of them had the strength of a ninth-tier foundation building cultivator.
The Huang clan, which was trapped on Huang Yi mountain, had no way of resisting this force. They could only rely on the mountain-protecting formation and shut themselves in. At the same time, they sent a letter to their sect master, the Lu clan, asking for help.
After receiving the letter, Lu chaojun did not dare to delay and immediately sent it to Lu chaoxi.
After Lu chaoxi finished reading the letter, he clenched his fist. He could roughly tell that this was a new move by the sect leader’s faction.
To be able to touch three foundation building cultivators, two of whom were ninth-tier foundation building cultivators, this kind of power wasn’t small. With such a level of strength, why would he go against the Lu family for no reason without any connection? Only the cultivators of the Zhao clan or the disciples of the sect master could have this motivation.
The main reason why he judged that it was the sect master’s bloodline was that the Huang family was not finished yet.
Lu chaoxi could tell that something was amiss just from the information in the letter. Huang shengxi was only at the early-stage of the foundation establishment realm. He was ambushed by three Foundation establishment realm cultivators and two of them were at the ninth-tier, yet he managed to escape with serious injuries? Was he really that capable?
Furthermore, Huang Yishan was originally an Ordinary Level-Two Spirit vein in Pingan County. It was impossible for the Huang family to create a powerful mountain-protecting formation. After Huang shengxi was heavily injured and could not attack, Huang Yishan should have been broken through quickly.
Combining the two situations, it could almost be determined that the person who attacked did not want to kill at all.
Moreover, the strength of this lineup that was looking for trouble with the Huang family was also very ambiguous.
There were three foundation building cultivators, two of whom were at the ninth-tier foundation building realm. If Lu chaoxi were to make a move, he would be able to deal with them easily. But without him, the Lu family would be hard to deal with.
They’re forcing me to go back, Lu chaoxi thought.
After that, he found a place with no one around and asked tentatively, ” “Dad? Are you there? Can you hear me?”
