Chapter 230: Desire to Seize Bihu Mountain as the Clan’s Spirit Land!

“Crimson Sun Golden Wheel! Break!”

Yu Jinyang, seeing the Talisman Formation encompassing him with five elements, wind, and fire, dared not hold back. He immediately summoned his life-bound Spirit Tool.

His life-bound golden wheel was a crimson-gold circular disc.

This circular disc burst forth with ten thousand rays of golden light, like the rising sun, and slammed fiercely into the Talisman Formation.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

“Boom!”

Three thousand six hundred mystical true lots, shrouded in black light, shot out. Along with the talisman’s spiritual light, they clashed head-on with the golden wheel’s attack, causing a heavy resonating sound.

“The Crimson Sun Golden Wheel, it really is you, Yu Jinyang!”

“The main sect has decreed that all clan forces must develop peacefully for three years, with no invasions or conflicts allowed!”

“Yet your Yu Family repeatedly attacks our Qingzhu Mountain, disregarding the main sect’s rules. I will definitely report this to the Azure Cloud Sect!”

Lu Yuanzhong arrived in the air. Seeing the Crimson Sun Golden Wheel, he immediately shouted at Yu Jinyang.

He wanted to use the Azure Cloud Sect’s authority to intimidate the three from the Yu Family.

“This technique…”

The Bai Family Ancestor, Bai Yunyang, saw Lu Changsheng set up the Talisman Formation, single-handedly trapping the three from the Yu Family. He was shocked and looked at Lu Changsheng with a wary expression.

He hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng, who had just recently broken through to Foundation Establishment, to possess such an astonishing technique.

Now that Qingzhu Mountain had Lu Changsheng, and once Lu Miaoge also broke through o Foundation Establishment, the Lu Family would likely rise to prominence.

However, seeing the hundreds of talismans forming the array, Bai Yunyang couldn’t help but wince at the cost.

So many talismans must be worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

This technique was impressive, but it was incredibly expensive!

Ordinary people simply couldn’t afford to use it!

But the current battle situation made him feel less afraid.

He immediately summoned his own Spirit Tool, preparing to take action.

“Rise!”

Lu Changsheng, with a calm expression, looked at the three people in the formation. He made hand seals and spoke in an indifferent voice.

In an instant.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

In the space between heaven and earth, the talismans burst with light, continuously rotating and shrinking the area they covered.

Large patches of raging fire surged, wind and thunder moved in unison, all striking towards Yu Jinyang and the other two with full force.

“Boom boom boom—”

Faced with such an onslaught, Yu Jinyang, Yu Yuanshan, and Yu Ningjun didn’t dare to underestimate it. The three frantically poured out their spiritual power, wanting to break the formation and escape with all their might.

However, faced with such a fierce and overwhelming attack, they could hardly defend themselves.

“As expected, these three are all weak Foundation Establishment cultivators.”

“Even though I lowered the talisman’s level by one, I still overestimated them.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself as he watched the three in the Talisman Formation.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, this matter is our Yu Family’s fault.”

“We’re willing to apologize and leave. Please stop your attack!”

Yu Jinyang shouted loudly.

Under the formation’s onslaught, the three of them had absolutely no power to fight back and could only keep defending.

Once their spiritual power was exhausted, they would perish within this Talisman Formation.

Even if they persisted until the formation’s power was depleted, they would certainly be severely injured and no match for Lu Yuanzhong, Bai Yunyang, and Lu Changsheng.

“This!?”

“Such a terrifying Talisman Formation!”

Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang, who were preparing to intervene but couldn’t, saw this scene and were extremely shocked.

They had thought this formation would only trap the three from the Yu Family.

But they hadn’t expected the formation’s offensive power to be so horrifying.

In just a moment, it had forced Yu Jinyang, the usually domineering Yu Family Patriarch and a mid-stage Foundation Establishment grand cultivator, to speak up and offer apologies.

“Hiss!”

“This… this… this…”

“Great Elder is formidable!”

“Uncle-in-law is formidable!”

The people of Qingzhu Mountain, seeing this scene, first widened their eyes in disbelief.

But the next moment, they all became excited and shouted loudly.

A year and a half ago, the matter of Lu Miaofeng’s Foundation Establishment had left them with pent-up feelings.

Today, with the Yu Family attacking again, it had pushed their frustration and anger to the extreme.

Now, seeing Lu Changsheng single-handedly suppress the three from the Yu Family, making Yu Jinyang, the Yu Family Patriarch, bow his head, they felt incredibly satisfied and excited.

“My husband is so powerful?”

“My father is so powerful?”

“Father!”

Lu Changsheng’s wives and children, seeing this scene, were somewhat dumbfounded.

They hadn’t expected their husband, their father, to be so formidable.

After all, for them, Foundation Establishment was lofty and beyond their understanding.

And Lu Changsheng’s usual gentle temperament never showed the awe-inspiring presence of a Foundation Establishment grand cultivator!

“Lu Changsheng, if you dare kill us, our Bihu Mountain will fight your Qingzhu Mountain to the death!”

In the formation, Yu Ningjun, holding a bronze rod, looked miserable and disheveled as he roared.

However, Lu Changsheng, facing the roars from within the formation, turned a deaf ear. He continued to make hand seals, maintaining the fierce bombardment.

If he wasn’t worried about making too much noise and affecting Lu Miaoge, who was in the prooess of Foundation Establishment, he would have directly detonated the formation to end the battle.

“My lord, leave them with intact bodies!”

Just then, a gentle and clear voice rang out.

Ling Zixiao transformed into a streak of light, flying out from Qingzhu Mountain.

“Hm? Foundation Establishment!?”

“How does Qingzhu Mountain have another Foundation Establishment grand cultivator!?”

Bai Yunyang was startled.

He hadn’t expected Qingzhu Mountain to have another unknown Foundation Establishment grand cultivator!

He looked at Lu Changsheng, his heart surging with shock waves, incredibly astonished.

“Isn’t that Changsheng’s dao companion?”

“The Great Elder’s dao companion is actually a Foundation Establishment grand cultivator!?”

The Lu Family members watching the battle were all shocked to see Ling Zixiao flying through the air.

They hadn’t expected Ling Zixiao to be a Foundation Establishment grand cultivator.

Usually, Ling Zixiao lived in seclusion, and most of them had only seen her once at the family banquet back then.

“Hm?”

Lu Changsheng heard Ling Zixiao’s words and was somewhat surprised.

But the next moment, he immediately nodded and made hand seals, changing the formation’s offensive pattern.

The remaining seven thousand two hundred mystical true lots from the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Talisman shot out.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

These mystical true lots, linked with the talisman’s energy, were like a barrage of magical arrows, bursting forth with terrifying power.

“Thud thud thud—”

“Clang clang clang—”

As the power spread, within the formation, sounds of blades entering flesh and metal clashing rang out.

“Ah!!! Patriarch!!!”

In the formation, Yu Ningjun, the newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivator, was now covered in blood and scorched black. He let out a miserable wail, about to fall from the sky.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, as long as you’re willing to stop and let us go, our Bihu Mountain is willing to offer compensation for this matter!”

Yu Jinyang shouted loudly.

His voice was already lacking strength.

These words made Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang look at each other, speechless.

Not long ago, they had faced these three from the Yu Family with no confidence and fear in their hearts.

But now, Lu Changsheng alone was overwhelming the three.

Making Yu Jinyang, the Yu Family Patriarch, plead for mercy.

This battle prowess, this strength, even if it relied on talismans, was incredibly shocking!

However, seeing Yu Jinyang’s current state, the two couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction!

After all, the Yu Family had often bullied them in the past.

“Boom boom boom—”

Lu Changsheng remained silent, still with an indifferent expression. He continued making hand seals, letting the formation attack relentlessly, intending to subdue the two.

“Ahhhh—”

“Lu Changsheng, do you really want to commit such an act of extermination! To be at odds with our Bihu Mountain to the death!?”

Seeing that Yu Ningjun and Yu Yuanshan were already done for, Yu Jinyang, holding his golden wheel, eyes bulging, roared and howled.

“Nine-Nine Mystical True, Command!”

Lu Changsheng spoke coldly, making hand seals.

If he wasn’t worried about making too much noise and needing to leave the three with intact bodies, how could Yu Jinyang still be shouting?

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

“Thud thud thud—”

The Nine-Nine Mystical True Lots, linked with the talismans, shot out, piercing through Yu Jinyang’s body in the formation, finally extinguishing his life force.

“I’m not reconciled!”

Yu Jinyang’s eyes widened, his face full of unwillingness.

He never imagined that one decision would lead to him, his nephew, and great-grandson all perishing on Qingzhu Mountain.

“This!”

The onlookers, seeing the formation dissipate and Yu Jinyang, Yu Yuanshan, and Yu Ningjun turn into corpses, were all too shocked to speak.

Foundation Establishment grand cultivators!

Three Foundation Establishment grand cultivators who were usually so lofty, at this moment, had actually been killed by Lu Changsheng alone!

Even though they had seen the formation suppress and bombard the three.

But now, seeing the three turned into corpses, they still couldn’t believe it.

After all, these were clan patriarchs, Foundation Establishment grand cultivators who were usually high above others!

“My lord, didn’t you plan to establish a clan power?”

“Now that Miaoge has broken through to Foundation Establishment, Qingzhu Mountain has someone to guard it.”

“The Yu Family of Bihu Mountain came to attack on their own today. Since that’s the case, we might as well take over Bihu Mountain as our clan’s Spirit Land.”

At this moment, Ling Zixiao stepped forward, a faint smile on her face, and spoke in a clear voice.

The others present were all incredibly shocked.

But she showed no reaction to the death of three Foundation Establishment great cultivators, her expression calm.

“Establish a family clan’s influence?”

“Seize Bihu Mountain as the clan’s Spirit Land?”

Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang were startled upon hearing this and looked at Lu Changsheng.

They hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to plan on establishing his own clan.

Hearing this, the two had mixed feelings.

“Ancestor, now that the Yu Family crisis is resolved, I want to seize Bihu Mountain as our clan’s Spirit Land and establish the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain,” Lu Changsheng said calmly to Lu Yuanzhong.

Ling Zixiao had just communicated this to him telepathically.

They could take advantage of the Yu Family’s three members coming to attack, using righteousness to justifiably seize Bihu Mountain as their clan’s Spirit Land.

Bihu Mountain, with its mountains and waters, had an elegant environment and excellent conditions. Its area was even larger than Qingzhu Mountain, making it a great choice for a clan’s Spirit Land.

Moreover, seizing Bihu Mountain would allow them to naturally acquire all its resources.

This was far better than purchasing a clan Spirit Land.

It was also several times better than buying a spirit vein blessed land from the Azure Cloud Sect.

He thought this suggestion was good and decided to go ahead with it.

“Good. The Yu Family has gone too far, repeatedly attacking our Qingzhu Mountain. We’ll march on Bihu Mountain and seize it!”

“Then, Bihu Mountain will be your clan’s Spirit Land, Changsheng!”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yuanzhong responded directly.

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s methods and learning of his desire to establish his own clan, he knew that their small pond of Qingzhu Mountain couldn’t contain a dragon like Lu Changsheng.

Since that was the case, he might as well do Lu Changsheng a favor!

Future generations of both families being on good terms would benefit both sides.

“If Fellow Daoist Lu wants to seize Bihu Mountain, feel free to ask for any help. My Bai family is willing to lend a hand,” Bai Yunyang immediately spoke up.

He knew that Lu Changsheng’s seizure of Bihu Mountain was already decided.

In this situation, stepping forward to show support and offer some help would help build a good relationship with Lu Changsheng.

Besides, he was glad to see Lu Changsheng establish his own clan.

In the future, an alliance between the three families could be mutually beneficial.

“In that case, I’ll trouble Fellow Daoist Bai,” Lu Changsheng nodded, not refusing.

Since he was going to seize Bihu Mountain and establish a clan, he naturally wanted to maintain relationships with neighboring families.

“Time is of the essence. Fellow Daoists Lu and Bai, please make some brief preparations, and we’ll head directly to Bihu Mountain,” Ling Zixiao said with an elegant smile, her cloud-like hair piled high, wearing a blue dress and maintaining a dignified demeanor as she looked at Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang.

Hearing this, both men couldn’t help but size up Ling Zixiao.

Her elegant face was pale, lacking color, and her whole body’s aura was weak and chaotic, making her appear extremely fragile.

But her graceful and composed demeanor, along with her elegant gestures, immediately made the two men feel this woman was extraordinary.

Especially since Ling Zixiao was too confident!

As if seizing Bihu Mountain would be a piece of cake!

“Alright!” Lu Yuanzhong didn’t hesitate upon hearing this.

He immediately turned into a streak of light, returning to Qingzhu Mountain to relay the news.

He stated that the Yu Family had gone too far, repeatedly attacking their Qingzhu Mountain. Today, they would attack Bihu Mountain together with the Grand Elder, Fellow Daoist Ling, and the Bai family!

“I’ll go inform Sister Miaoge,” Lu Changsheng said to Ling Zixiao.

Lu Miaoge was still breaking hrough to Foundation Establishment and couldn’t be distracted.

Now that he was going to seize Bihu Mountain, he still needed to inform Lu Miaoge so she wouldn’t worry.

After speaking, he turned into a streak of light, returning to the Cave Dwelling in Qingzhu Valley.

“Sister Miaoge, the Yu Family members who came have been dealt with by me. I’m about to go with the ancestor to seize Bihu Mountain as our clan’s Spirit Land. You stay at home and focus on establishing your foundation,” Lu Changsheng said, looking at Lu Miaoge who was sitting croos-legged with her eyes closed, still condensing her Dao Foundation.

It would take Lu Miaoge a few more days to ondense her Dao Foundation and complete her breakthrough.

Moreover, breaking through to Foundation Establishment also required time to stabilize the realm.

He didn’t have time to stay here and watch over her constantly.

However, he could see that as long as there were no disturbances or unexpected events, Lu Miaoge’s breakthrough to FFundation Establishment was just a matter of course.

“Alright, Changsheng. Go ahead, don’t worry about me,” Lu Miaoge, though surprised bb what had just happened outside, couldn’t afford to be distracted and focused all her energy on condensing her Dao Foundation, transmitting a message to Lu Changsheng via Divine Sense.

“Mm.” Lu Changsheng nodded, then turned into a streak of light and left, returning home.

He announced that he was preparing to go to Bihu Mountain to seize it.

He also called for his children who were at the third level of Qi Refining to accompany him.

It wasn’t to have these children participate in the battle.

It was simply to let them witness the cruelty of the cultivation world.

“Husband.” Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhnzhen, and others heard this and were worried about the children.

They felt the children were still young and didn’t need to go along.

“Yun’er, Huan’er, don’t worry. You come with me and just look after these children,” Lu Changsheng said directly.

“Zhenzhen, Ping’an, you stay home and look after the other children.”

Then he took out a Spirit Boat from his Storage Bag and gave it to Lu Miaoyun.

At the same time, he handed over the Second-Tier puppet he had made before to Lu Miaohuan, telling her she could control the puppet if there was any danger.

“Brother, I want to go too,” Little Bai Ling, hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, gathered her courage and spoke up.

“Little Ling’er, aren’t you afraid?” Lu Changsheng smiled gently upon hearing this.

Although Bai Ling had the cultivation of the sixth level of Qi Refining, in his view, Bai Ling’s personality wasn’t suitable for fighting or experiencing such scenes.

“I want to help brother,” Bai Ling gathered her courage, but her voice was still a bit timid.

“Alright, if that’s the case, then come along,” Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, saying, “You’ll go with Sister Yun later.”

Meanwhile, at the Yu Family’s Bihu Mountain.

Outside the Yu Family ancestral hall.

An old man with graying hair, wearing a lake-blue robe, was lounging in a chair, yawning boredly.

Suddenly, a series of crisp, extreme sounds came from inside the ancestral hall.

“Hm? What’s going on!?” The old man, hearing the consecutive sounds, jolted awake and quickly got up, walking into the ancestral hall.

Although the Yu Family of Bihu Mountain, as a Foundation Establishment clan, couldn’t provide every family member with a life-bound jade tablet or Soul Lamp,

They still equipped the few core important figures of the family with a life-bound jade tablet.

Now that the jade tablets were shattering one after another, it immediately made him feel extremely panicked.

“This!?” As soon as he walked into the ancestral hall, he saw fragments of jade scattered all over the table in the silent hall.

Originally, there were six life-bound jade tablets, but now only three remained.

“This… this… how is this possible!” Looking at the three shattered jade tablets, the old man was thunderstruck, his whole body trembling, his steps faltering as he fell to the ground, his face full of disbelief.

“Not good! Not good!” The next moment, he scrambled out of the ancestral hall, crawling and rolling, to notify others of this news.

At Qingzhu Mountain.

About half an hour later.

The Lu Family had completed their assembly.

The number of people for this trip wasn’t large.

Apart from Lu Changsheng, Lu Yuanzhong, Bai Yunyang, and Ling Zixiao, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators,

There were only two Late-Stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Twenty-nine mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

And Lu Changsheng’s four children at the third level of Qi Refining.

However, in Lu Changsheng’s view, this was already enough.

These people were going to handle some matters, make a show of force, and go through the motions.

“Let’s go!” Lu Changsheng, Ling Zixiao, and Lu Yuanzhong exchanged glances, then immediately shouted loudly: “Set out!”

Then, the Spirit Boats of the four Foundation Establishment cultivators led the way at the front.

The other thirty-five people boarded three spirit ships behind them, transforming into streaks of light, flying towards Bihu Mountain.
