Chapter 121: Is Lu Lang Actually Lu Changsheng?

“What’s going on!”

“Why is Senior Meng attacking the Ancestor!”

“Ancestor, be careful!”

Within Red Leaf Valley, the Chen Family cultivators who were enhancing the formation saw Meng Xiaochan suddenly rise into the sky. Purple flames appeared on her hands as she charged at the Chen Family Ancestor, shocking everyone.

And not just them.

Outside the Red Leaf Valley, the cultivators from two families breaking the formation, including the Lu Family Ancestor and Lu Yuanzhong, were also stunned by this sight.

Utterly confused.

No one understood what was happening with this Chen Family guest.

Why did she suddenly attack the Chen Family Ancestor?

But they saw purple flames appearing between Meng Xiaochan’s hands.

Then she clapped her hands together, transforming into a purple fire python emitting strong spiritual energy waves, launching at the Chen Family Ancestor.

“Friend Meng, what are you doing!?”

The Chen Family Ancestor sensed something amiss and suddenly turned around, seeing the fire python rushing towards him with shock.

Hastily, he took out an ice-blue talisman and activated it.

In an instant, a terrifying cold wind surged out.

It seemed to freeze the world, forming ice walls in front to block the fire python.

The fire python roared, quickly melting through the ice walls.

“Dare to harm Lu Lang, you die!”

Meng Xiaochan glared at the Chen Family Ancestor, filled with murderous intent, and shouted fiercely.

She summoned a set of flying dagger Artifacts, sending them out swiftly.

At the same time, she tapped her Spirit Beast Bag, releasing a swarm of multicolored insects that rushed toward the Chen Family Ancestor.

“Lu Lang? Who is this Lu Lang? Could he be from the Lu Family!?”

“Meng Cultivator is actually a hidden hand of the Lu Family!?”

“Lu Family, you really can endure, planting a Foundation Establishment big cultivator early into my Chen Family!”

“You Lu Family have three Foundation Establishment cultivators, yet have always retreated and shown weakness. It’s simply despicable and hateful!”

“We’re finished. Our Chen Family is finished!”

The Chen Family’s head, Chen Shuisheng, and numerous elders were shocked and despaired upon hearing these words.

They thought Meng Xiaochan was a mole planted by the Lu Family.

Back then, when Meng Xiaochan came to the Chen Family, they naturally investigated her.

They found no connection to the Lu Family.

Moreover, they were cautious with Meng Xiaochan, revealing very little information.

But they never expected Meng Xiaochan to turn against them at such a crucial moment.

Faced with the Lu Family and Bai Family’s three Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Chen Family was already hard-pressed to fend them off.

Now with another Foundation Establishment defecting and attacking the Chen Family Ancestor from within, the Chen Family had no power to resist.

In an instant, fear and despair filled the hearts of the Chen Family cultivators.

“Lu Lang? Who is this?”

Lu Family Ancestor and Lu Yuanzhong, who were attacking the formation, looked at each other, feeling bewildered.

They had no idea what this was about.

Who was this so-called Lu Lang?

They didn’t recognize this Foundation Establishment cultivator!

“Old Lu Ghost, I didn’t expect you to hide so deeply!”

The Bai Family Ancestor in the distance was also extremely shocked upon seeing this.

Hearing about this Lu Lang, he instinctively thought that Meng Xiaochan was a secret hand arranged by the Lu Family.

This made him more cautious toward the Lu Family.

To prevent himself from being schemed by the Lu Family one day.

After all, both families had been on good terms for generations, with no conflicts of interest.

But when it comes to fundamental interests, such friendships could end abruptly.

“It’s him!”

While everyone was puzzled about who this Lu Lang mentioned by Meng Xiaochan was, Lu Changsheng suddenly thought “Damn”

He immediately recognized the skinny young man.

It was the very young man who once lured trouble away using a Foundation Establishment spirit material when returning to Jiulong Market.

Because he was the only one to escape from Lu Changsheng.

And later invited him to explore a Cave Dwelling, prompting the Peach Blossom Gu to suggest he had romantic luck.

Lu Changsheng remembered him clearly.

He didn’t expect to meet here today.

And the young man had become a Foundation Establishment big cultivator.

“Could this Lu Lang be referring to me?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the skinny young man manipulating insects and attacking the Chen Family Ancestor, suddenly recalling something.

Back at Jiulong Market, a girl in a purple skirt had inexplicably attacked him and placed a Gu insect.

But at that time, he couldn’t figure out the reason.

How had he offended her?

Now seeing the skinny young man, a guess formed in his mind, a feeling in the unseen.

The skinny young man in front was that girl in the purple skirt.

With the romantic fortune from the Peach Blossom Gu, he realized the skinny young man was actually a girl in disguise.

Moreover, insect and Gu techniques often go hand in hand. This young man was skilled in Gu Worm.

“If that’s the case, things make sense?”

“Did she suddenly turn and attack because the Chen Family Ancestor attacked me earlier?”

“If that’s the case, then that Love Gu’s effect is too overwhelming!”

Lu Changsheng pondered.

Feeling that this was likely the case,

But he didn’t speak up.

After all, it was just a guess in his heart.

He wasn’t absolutely sure that the skinny young man in front was the girl in the purple skirt.

As Lu Changsheng was in thought, Meng Xiaochan’s purple fire python had broken through the ice walls and reached the Chen Family Ancestor.

“Damn it! Just damn it!”

The Chen Family Ancestor, looking at Meng Xiaochan with killing intent, had no time to think and asked her what was going on.

He summoned a crimson flying sword, unleashing a powerful wave of spiritual energy to slash the fire python in half.

But at this point, the dense swarms of insects rushed at him, which was shocking, and he quickly formed a spiritual formula, causing red flames to spread like a fire cloud, exterminating the insects.

“Break the formation! Break it with full force!”

The Lu Family Ancestor seeing the Chen Family Ancestor and Meng Xiaochan in a duel, sensed the formation’s heavy hammer power greatly reduced.

Knowing the Chen Family Ancestor couldn’t multitask, both presiding over the formation and engaging in a duel.

He immediately shouted.

“Boom boom boom!”

Following the command, the surrounding two families of cultivators, all summoned Artifacts, activated talismans, and unleashed spells to attack the grand formation.

Several formation masters, at this moment, triggered the array to its fullest, using the formation to pry open the Red Leaf Valley’s grand formation.

“Break!”

At this moment, the Lu Family Ancestor, Lu Yuanzhong, and the Bai Family Ancestor jointly attacked the Red Leaf Valley’s grand formation.

“Boom boom boom!”

“Boom boom boom!”

“Rumble!”

As the Chen Family Ancestor changed the formation from defense to attack, the defense was already weakened.

Now, with the Chen Family Ancestor unable to fully focus on managing the formation, its power and effectiveness fell another notch.

Under continuous bombardment, with a violent explosion, the second-tier grand formation shattered like a shattered glass jade bowl.

“Pfft!”

The Chen Family Ancestor, overseeing the formation, turned pale and spat a mouthful of Essence Blood.

Not only him, but the Chen Family disciples, linked to the formation by energy, all groaned, their breaths disordered.

“No!”

Seeing the grand formation broken, the Chen Family Ancestor entangled with Meng Xiaochan turned pale, his eyes filled with grief, shouting unwillingly.

Knowing that their Chen Family was finished today.

“The formation is broken, kill!”

The Lu Family Ancestor gave the order.

At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Lu Yuanzhong: “Yuanzhong, hold the position!”

After speaking, he carried a bamboo flying sword, unleashing sharpness, and attacked the Chen Family Ancestor, who was in a stalemate with Meng Xiaochan, to prevent the Chen Family Ancestor from escaping.

“Ancestor, you must flee!”

Within Red Leaf Valley, many Chen Family elders shouted resolutely at the Chen Family Ancestor.

They knew in their hearts.

The Chen Family was finished.

After today, there would be no Chen Family in Red Leaf Valley.

But if the Chen Family Ancestor could escape, he could lead the Chen Family disciples who were outside to develop elsewhere.

The Chen Family still had a hope of revival.

But if the Chen Family Ancestor also died, the Chen Family’s prospects for revival would be very slim.

“Old Chen Ghost, it’s your time!”

The Bai Family Ancestor also gave orders for Bai family cultivators to attack the Red Leaf Valley.

Then he transformed into a light stream and charged towards the Chen Family Ancestor.

Even though the Lu Family now stirred his caution.

But it was impossible to back down now and not put in effort.

After all, with the Red Leaf Valley’s grand formation broken, now was the time to divide the spoils.

“Old Lu Ghost, when did you start plotting against my Chen Family?”

The Chen Family Ancestor’s robes waved, his hair was disheveled, and amidst raging red flames, he burned dense insects.

He looked towards the Lu Family Ancestor rushing towards him and asked in a deep voice.

“You may take your doubt to the grave!”

The Lu Family Ancestor said coldly.

He himself was confused, not knowing what the situation with Meng Xiaochan battling the Chen Family Ancestor was.

But no matter what, this was an opportunity.

He would seize this chance to kill the Chen Family Ancestor, ending their long-standing blood feud.

“Fine, fine, fine; today, I concede!”

The Chen Family Ancestor, faced with a three-way siege from Foundation Establishment cultivators, knew well he couldn’t escape today.

He pressed several points on his chest acupoints and patted his dantian, making his entire aura and energy surge, even making his pale face slightly red.

It was clear he was using some secret technique to temporarily suppress injuries and boost battle strength.

“Even if I die today, you’ll pay the price!”

The Chen Family Ancestor glanced at Lu Yuanzhong in the distance, with some regret.

Then he looked towards the Bai Family Ancestor, shouting in fury, and charged at him.

He understood well that among these three Foundation Establishments, only the Bai Family Ancestor wouldn’t dare engage in a fierce battle, thus being a breakthrough point.

If he took down the Bai Family Ancestor in a fierce battle, it would cause chaos in the Bai family.

As for the Lu Family Ancestor, he already had less than two years of life left.

With Lu Yuanzhong present, even if he fought the Lu Family Ancestor, it would have little meaning.

“Old Chen Ghost, do you think this ancestor is easy to bully!!!”

The Bai Family Ancestor saw the Chen Family Ancestor charging at him and cursed inwardly.

This matter was indeed led by the Lu Family, why was I being attacked?

But in his heart, he guessed the Chen Family Ancestor’s intent, desperately trying to regard him as a breakthrough point, quickly summoning a colorful feather cloak to unleash a radiant divine light.

“Chen Family cultivators, kill!”

“Those resisting in defiance, kill!!”

“Those intentionally damaging properties, kill!!!”

As the three Foundation Establishments surrounded the Chen Family Ancestor, Lu Yuanzhong stood in the sky above Red Leaf Valley, holding the position, observing the two families of cultivators charging at the Chen Family.

At this time, the Fourth Elder also didn’t inquire about Lu Changsheng’s second-tier talismans.

He steered the spirit boat, leading Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoyun, and others into Re Leaf Valley, wielding a flying sword and beginning the slaughter.

“Sigh, this is the world of cultivation.”

Lu Changsheng watched the slaughter before him, sighing slightly.

He had experienced several slaughters.

Usually, when facing robber cultivators, he killed with no internal turmoil.

But this kind of large-scale massacre now made him rather contemplative.

Still, he wasn’t overly sentimental.

Over the years, he gradually adapted to the cultivation world’s law of the jungle.

If you don’t kill, they’ll kill you.

If it were the Lu Family losing today, this would be their fate.

“Ahh, I’ll fight you!”

A Chen Family cultivator at the ninth layer of Qi Refining wielding an Artifact, controlling a puppet, and activating several talismans, fought against three Lu Family elders.

But in the next moment, Lu Yuanzhong, holding the position above, acted.

A giant hand of spiritual energy slapped down, killing him in one move.

Lu Changsheng recognized this Chen Family cultivator.

He was the head of the Chen Family, Chen Shuisheng, who had ambushed them on the way to Qingzhu Mountain with Lu Yuanshan Ding from Azure Cloud Sect.

But now, this Chen Family head was killed by Lu Yuanzhong in one slap, only letting out a grunt.

“This is the gulf between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

“Family head, even in death, we Chen Family will never surrender!”

“Fight them to the end!”

Except for a few cultivators of other surnames begging for mercy, the Chen Family bloodline fought to the death.

Because they knew they were doomed.

Rather than waiting to die, it was better to fight.

“Kill!”

Then, not far away, a Chen Family cultivator with a ferocious expression wielded a flying sword and charged at Lu Miaoyun.

“Yun’r, be careful.”

Lu Changsheng immediately activated a talisman, turning into a protective light shield, guarding Lu Miaoyun.

Then, the Qingyan Sword unsheathed, turning into a sharp sword light, penetrating the cultivator’s chest.

“Uh uh uh!”

The Chen Family cultivator bled from the mouth, looked unwillingly at Lu Changsheng and the others, and then collapsed.

“Yun’r, stay by my side.”

Lu Changsheng said calmly to Lu Miaoyun.

Although Lu Miaoyun had the Fifth Layerof Qi Refining cultivation.

She had little combat experience.

This is also why the Lu and Bai families brought their disciples.

Cultivation isn’t a peaceful cloud, meditating every day, and riding a crane leisurely.

It’s a path of fearlessness, slaying ten thousand demons, cutting through thorns, to seek true self.

On this long cultivation path, one is destined to endure endless tribulations, honed by blood.

“Mhm.”

Lu Miaoyun nodded cutely.

Somewhat surprised by her husband’s strength.

He remained so calm amidst the slaughter.

The Fourth Elder beside them was also surprised by Lu Changsheng’s performance.

Feeling that his grandson-in-law was becoming more mysterious, making it hard to see through him.

Not only had he just taken out a second-tier talisman.

Now he casually killed a cultivator at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining.

It’s worth noting that Lu Changsheng’s cultivation was only at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining.

“No wonder Changsheng managed to escape from three Late-Stage Qi Refining cultivators.”

The Fourth Elder thought to himself.

He then advised, “Changsheng, Yun’r, be careful not to stray far from Grandma.”

Although this battle was in their favor.

A cornered beast will still fight back.

The dying counterattack from the Chen Family might wound or even kill some Lu and Bai family disciples.

These things are unavoidable.

“Don’t worry, Grandma.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He wasn’t greedy for the glory of killing.

If a Chen Family cultivator rushed at them, he would kill them.

If not, he would stay close to Lu Miaoyun and the Fourth Elde.

At that moment.

In the sky above Red Leaf Valley.

“Ah!!!”

The Chen Family Ancestor, under siege from the three Foundation Establishments, looked disheveled, spat blood, and was covered in wounds, driven mad.

When the formation broke, his spiritual energy was damaged.

He was now entangled by the three and watched his clan slaughtered, feeling extremely suffocated.

“Die, all of you!”

“Boom!”

The Chen Family Ancestor knew his end was near.

The secret technique he used had reached its limit.

He detonated his spirit tool.

Then he took out a blue orb and used it against the Bai Family Ancestor.

After all, he felt this battle was primarily due to Meng Xiaochan.

But he hated the Lu and Bai families even more, wanting to take someone down with him upon death.

“Rumble!”

The explosion of the spirit tool and Thunder Bail caused a deafening roar and a dazzling white light in the sky.

Everyone in Red Leaf Valley looked towards the brilliant white light.

“Ancestor!”

“Ancestor!”

Lu Yuanzhong and the Bai Family head rushed to the white light.

“Cough cough, if this old Chen hadn’t prepared, with his self-destruct and this Thunder Bail, I might really have died here.”

Lu Family Ancestor coughed blood.

“No worries, I predicted this old ghost would fight desperately.”

The Bai Family Ancestor also coughed blood, and the spiritual Artifacts and feather cloak he wore were damaged.

Thinking about the Chen Family Ancestor’s attempts to drag him down left him seething.

The injuries from this battle would take years to heal.

With the roar, the Chen Family Ancestor died, and Meng Xiaochan regained some clarity.

Her disguise in appearance and form dissipated.

Transforming from the skinny young man into a purple-clad girl with exquisite features, immensely beautiful and ethereal.

Having suffered injuries during the battle and spirit tool’s detonation, her face was pale.

Making her stunning features appear pitiful.

“What a terrifying Locking Emotion Gu.”

At this moment, Meng Xiaochan realized the horrifying nature of the Locking Emotion Gu.

She hadn’t attacked Lu Changsheng.

But simply watching Chen Family Ancestor attacking Lu Changsheng, the feelings in her heart made her lose reason.

She had only one thought, to die for love.

“Once Locking Emotion Gu forms, escaping it is difficult.”

“This can’t go on. Before completely losing myself, leaving Jiang Kingdom, never seeing him again, is the best strategy.”

“And besides, this man is like my nemesis.”

Currently, Meng Xiaochan no longer held any malice after realizing the situation, only love.

She dared not suppress the effects of the Locking Emotion Gu any longer.

Knowing the more she resisted and suppressed, the quicker she would fall.

Especially since these feelings surged like tide waters, causing her to instantly lose reason.

Moreover.

She had failed in Lu Changsheng’s hands three times, abandoning any ideas of revenge.

The first time, she nearly lost her life, losing two Foundation Establishment spirit materials.

The second time, not only losing the Locking Emotion Gu, but the insects backfired, trapping herself.

This third time, she fought the Chen Family Ancestor for Lu Changsheng, nearly losing her life.

She couldn’t imagine what another encounter’s outcome would be.

“Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your assistance.”

The Lu Family Ancestor didn’t mind Meng Xiaochan’s appearance change and respectfully thanked her.

Without Meng Xiaochan, they wouldn’t have easily captured the Red Leaf Valley.

Even if they could take Red Leaf Valley, he would have had to fight to the death with the Chen Family Ancestor.

“No need to thank me. I helped you because of Lu Lang.”

Meng Xiaochan spoke with a sad voice.

Her beautiful eyes filled with complaint and affection as she looked towards a tall, handsome young man with a Magical Sword in Red Leaf Valley.

“Lu Lang?”

Hearing this term, the Lu Family Ancestor, Bai Family Ancestor, and Lu Yuanzhong were confused.

Not knowing who this Lu Lang was.

Following Meng Xiaochan’s gaze, they immediately spotted the Fourth Elder, Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoyun, and others.

“Lu Changsheng?”

The Lu Family Ancestor locked his gaze on Lu Changsheng.

He suspected that Lu Lang referred to Lu Changsheng.

This Foundation Establishment old ancestor was shaken to the core.

He had observed before that Lu Changsheng was extraordinary.

Possessing great opportunities and luck.

But this was too incredible.

Still in the Qi Refining stage, yet charming a Foundation Establishment big cultivator, making her show such a resentful look.

Moreover, he recalled Lu Yuanshan Ding and the Fourth Elder telling him about Lu Changsheng’s situation, mentioning Lu Changsheng loved marrying and had many wives and concubines.

In this scenario, yet another Foundation Establishment cultivator had taken a fancy to him.

The Lu Family Ancestor momentarily didn’t know what to say.

“Lu Changsheng?”

Lu Yuanzhong, following Meng Xiaochan’s gaze, looked surprised and puzzled at Lu Changsheng.

He didn’t know much about Lu Changsheng’s situation.

But Meng Xiaochan’s words and gaze left him confused.

“Lu Changsheng?”

The Bai Family Ancestor also felt something might be off.

This Foundation Establishment cultivator didn’t seem to be the Lu Family Ancestor’s arranged mole.

It seemed related to a Lu Family disciple.

Seeing Meng Xiaochan’s tender and grievance-filled look at a Qi Refining cultivator, he felt it was like a dream.

Even if this Qi Refining cultivator was indeed handsome and elegant.

But since when did the cultivation world judge by appearance!

As the three Foundation Establishment ancestors were caught in incredulity, Meng Xiaochan floated towards Lu Changsheng in Red Leaf Valley.
