Chapter 400
400 Chapter 399 captive
This time, Yunxiao sect had truly suffered heavy losses.
In fact, only two people had died. This included Weiyun. Lu Qing did not really kill her.
Other than Weiyun, there was also a Yunxiao sect operator who was captured alive.
At that time, Lu mingchao was about to give chase but was stopped by Lu Qing. She did not manage to go out. However, Lu Qing had sent another capable assistant to handle this matter.
His clone.
Ten years ago, when Lu Qing broke through the defense line at the great river, he had personally killed a nascent soul realm cultivator from the Wei Kingdom.
Using the cultivator’s physical body and remnant soul as materials, Lu Qing used the void Spirit manual, which he had only just mastered, to create a clone.
If Chen Man could create a clone, then he, who had a perfect grasp of the void Spirit chart, could naturally create one as well.
This clone did not play much of a role in the battle. Lu Qing had hidden it as a backup plan.
In the past ten years, Lu Qing’s actual body had been hiding on Yuyan mountain to cultivate. Although he still had plenty of options to exchange for resurrection, he would not choose to waste them if it was not necessary.
His clones were hidden in the dark. They acted according to his or Lu chaoxi’s orders and moved around the country of Yan.
Of course, a clone was not as strong as the main body. There was no dragon Soul, no divine power, and his combat power had dropped sharply.
But even if it was reduced by a large wave, it was still very strong.
At the very least, Lu Qing’s clone did not have any weaknesses that Chen man’s clone had.
That guy’s clone was as fragile as paper.
Lu Qing’s clone was actually the same. However, the difference was that Lu Qing also had the ‘heaven guarding life technique’.
This was not a magical power. The clone that Lu Qing created would naturally use it. With such a top-notch defensive spell technique, the clone’s chances of survival were already very high.
The other spells were basically the same. For example, the combination of the creation book’s ability and the rising star technique could also allow Lu Qing’s clone to have an almost endless supply of true essence.
Of course, even with all these, a Dragon Soul that wasn’t bound to itself couldn’t be enlarged, and without magical powers, it lacked strengthening methods. As a result, it was still unlikely for the clone to fight against an opponent at the materialization realm.
However, Lu Qing was invincible against those below the materialization realm, even if he was just a clone.
If not for the fact that the nascent soul realm cultivators from Yunxiao sect were smart enough to split up and not gather together, they would have been wiped out by Lu Qing’s clone.
Of course, even so, they suffered heavy losses. The nascent soul cultivator who was captured was none other than han xuzi, the sect master of Yunxiao sect.
The sect head and the sect’s strongest combat power, Grandmaster Wei Yun, were captured together. This matter was simply earth-shattering.
Everyone in the Yunxiao sect was dumbfounded. They did not know how to deal with this matter.
Of course, no matter how they dealt with it, there was one thing they could not do-start a war with the Imperial court.
Before this, there were many people clamoring to stop Lu Qing from breaking through to the materialization realm and to kick the Lu clan off the throne. However, when the sect leader and Grandmaster Weiyun were captured by Lu Qingquan in a battle outside the Yan city gate, no matter how fierce the Hawk faction was, they did not say such words anymore.
Yunxiao sect definitely had an overall advantage in terms of size to the Imperial court. However, this kind of overall advantage was not worth a fart in the face of the lack of top-notch combat power and Lu Qing’s abilities, which had surpassed the Dharma plane.
To put it bluntly, it was no longer a matter of whether they could go to the Imperial court or the Lu clan to cause trouble. If they wanted to, Lu Qing could personally lead the Army and block the entire Yunxiao sect on Yunxiao mountain.
Relying on the cloud heaven mountain, a Grade 6 spiritual vein, and a large number of nascent soul cultivators, they might be able to hold the mountain for a while. However, as time dragged on, the mountain Gate would definitely be broken, and everything would be over.
However, they had always been the leaders of the number one sect in the country of Yan. It was not easy for them to change their mindset so quickly.
They did not immediately send any effective measures to the Imperial court. They only asked if there was a misunderstanding and if they could release Weiyun and han xuzi.
That was impossible.
Not only did this behavior not have any effect, but it also caused Yunxiao sect’s authority in the country of Yan to be further lost.
The Imperial court did not even bother with them and immediately issued a notice, requesting Yunxiao sect cultivators everywhere to immediately report to the local authorities and restrict their movements while waiting for the next order. Otherwise, they would be charged with treason.
The same notice was even sent to the Yunxiao sect’s headquarters, which was Yunxiao mountain.
This was rude and terrible, but what could they do in the Yan Kingdom?
They didn’t dare to start a war, but it wasn’t quite possible to imprison all of them.
Both parties started negotiations. In the end, the Imperial court took a step back, but they at least requested Yunxiao sect to shrink their forces and all Yunxiao sect cultivators were not allowed to leave Wuzhou, Xing Zhou, and Jinzhou.
As for the next step …
Let’s talk slowly.
……
As for how to deal with the two captives, it was actually a very troublesome matter. Lu Qing had thought about it for a while, but he could not make a decision quickly.
The simplest way was to kill the two of them.
In that case, Yunxiao sect would lose their two strongest experts and leaders and would definitely be greatly shaken. At the same time, it should not be a problem for the Imperial court to suppress Yunxiao sect with Lu Qing around.
But the price was that a civil war was inevitable.
He could win, but what he would win was a completely different matter.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Qing did not want to make the Yan Kingdom suffer.
Moreover, if he really killed these two people, he would also feel that it was a pity.
In this world, there were only a few experts who could reach the Dharma plane. Killing one meant losing one. It would take years to cultivate a new one.
Even though Lu Qing had the system, which could greatly increase the speed at which he could nurture the clan’s cultivators, it was still a huge headache for him to nurture them to the Dharma stage.
Who knew how many years it would take and how many resources would be invested?
Of course, he still had to do this. Lu Qing was looking forward to seeing his sons and daughters in the clan reach the Dharma plane. Not to mention how much she would contribute to the clan, Lu Qing’s desire to see his son succeed in life alone was enough to motivate her to help her children.
However, before that, it would be great to have another Dharma adept as an ally. It would be even better if this materialization was obedient enough.
Of course, to make Weiyun listen to him obediently, it was a difficult task for him.
However, there was no need to do it now. When he broke through to the Dharma stage, his strength would have a huge leap. Then, even if Weiyun wanted to disobey, he would have no choice.
Even if this woman still could not recognize the truth by then, Lu Qing still had a last resort.
