Chapter 233: The Lu Family of Bihu Mountain! All Four Directions Stirred!

“Congratulations, Friend Lu. Now that matters are settled, I’ll take my leave and head back.”

With everything concluded, Bai Yunyang bowed to Lu Changsheng, indicating his intention to return to Hundred Bird Lake.

“Thank you for your efforts, Friend Bai. Once things are sorted out here, we’ll share a drink together!”

Lu Changsheng returned Bai Yunyang’s bow with a slight nod, smiling as he spoke.

Though Bai Yunyang hadn’t contributed much this time,

the fact that he was willing to lend a hand and show support was already quite commendable.

Lu Changsheng was more than willing to return the favor.

Besides, he had already planned out his family’s future path.

His main focus was on avoiding conflicts, building relationships, and creating wealth through harmony!

“Excellent. When it’s time for Friend Lu’s clan establishment ceremony, I’ll certainly come to witness it and share that drink with you!”

Hearing this, Bai Yunyang immediately bowed and replied with a smile.

His tone and expression unconsciously carried a hint of respect and awe.

Though they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators,

there were still differences between individuals!

The Lu Changsheng before him had single-handedly killed three powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators. How could Bai Yunyang not feel a sense of reverence?

He felt fortunate to have befriended Lu Changsheng on this trip.

Otherwise, with the combination of Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao, which family or power in the surrounding area wouldn’t feel wary?

After speaking, he bowed to Ling Zixiao and Lu Yuanzhong, bidding them farewell.

“Safe travels, Friend Bai.”

“Take care on your journey, Nephew Bai.”

Ling Zixiao and Lu Yuanzhong nodded slightly.

“Screech!”

The next moment, Bai Yunyang released a Late-Stage Qi Refining black eagle from his Spirit Pet Bag and rode away on it.

“Zixiao, are you alright?”

After Bai Yunyang left, Lu Changsheng came to Ling Zixiao’s side, grasping her fair wrist to check her condition.

He had always been aware of Ling Zixiao’s physical state.

Although she had recovered considerably over the past year or so of recuperation,

the withering of her meridians and dantian had not been resolved.

Once she used too much spiritual power, it would damage her meridians and dantian!

Ling Zixiao’s earlier effort to break the formation must have put a certain strain on her meridians and dantian.

“My lord, it’s nothing serious.”

Ling Zixiao transmitted to Lu Changsheng, speaking softly.

But when Lu Changsheng held Ling Zixiao’s wrist to check her condition, he immediately saw that her meridians and dantian were under severe stress, in a terrible state.

If this continued, her meridians might rupture.

He instantly understood that Ling Zixiao had actually reached her limit earlier and was bluffing Yu Ninghu.

In her current state, it was nearly impossible for her to continue using spiritual power to break formations.

“Changsheng, someone needs to stay and oversee the family affairs. Miaoge is still establishing her foundation, so should I head back first?”

At this moment, Lu Yuanzhong spoke to Lu Changsheng.

The matter at Bihu Mountain was settled.

In his view, having Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao in charge was more than enough.

Now that Qingzhu Mountain was in a vulnerable state, relying only on its grand formation for protection, he needed to return as soon as possible.

“Alright, Ancestor. Thank you for your hard work in this matter.”

“Take Miaoyun and the others back first. Leave a few elders who are good at handling affairs to help me take over the Yu Family matters later.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said to Lu Yuanzhong.

With Ling Zixiao in poor condition, needing proper care and healing,

he planned to stay directly at Bihu Mountain.

He would wait for the Yu Family to complete their relocation and handle their affairs.

But as he wasn’t very skilled in family matters, he needed a few people to help.

“Very well.”

Hearing this, Lu Yuanzhong immediately arranged for a few people to stay with Lu Changsheng at Bihu Mountain.

“Yunni, Huanhuan, you two go back with the Ancestor first. I’ll come to get you later.”

Lu Changsheng stepped forward and spoke to his wives, Lu Miaoyun and Lu Miaohuan.

“Take care, husband.”

The two women nodded in response.

Their gaze towards Lu Changsheng also carried a hint of inexplicable awe.

As Lu Changsheng’s wives, they had thought they knew him quite well.

But his various actions and performances today made them realize that they might not understand their husband as well as they thought.

“Mm, you be careful and take care too.”

“Huanhuan, keep that puppet. Use it for self-defense.”

Lu Changsheng said gently, knowing his wives had many questions in their hearts.

But he didn’t have much time to explain such matters now.

After speaking, he looked at his children on the Spirit Boat and said, “Xian Zhi, Yun, Xiaoru, you three stay. Help the elders handle Bihu Mountain affairs later.”

Lu Changsheng spoke to his son Lu Xian’er, Lu Yun, and daughter Lu Xiaoru.

Once Bihu Mountain was fully taken over, he naturally wanted to arrange positions for his own children.

Since Lu Xian’er and the others were already here, he decided to let these three familiarize themselves with the situation first.

“Yes, Father!”

Hearing this, the three were both excited and delighted.

This made the other children and Lu Family disciples look at the three with some envy.

Afterwards, Lu Changsheng and his group settled down in the Yu Family residence.

During this time, Lu Changsheng wasn’t worried about the Yu Family causing any more trouble.

After all, the Yu Family’s grand formation was now in Ling Zixiao’s hands.

Moreover, if it came to a fight, he alone could wipe out all the current Yu Family members.

Then, Lu Changsheng took Ling Zixiao to a room to start healing and stabilizing her condition.

In the Yu Family ancestral hall.

“Brother, do we really have to move?”

“Ning Hu.”

All the core Yu Family disciples and elders looked at Yu Ninghu, their faces filled with unwillingness and righteous indignation.

“We move.”

Yu Ninghu said calmly and indifferently.

“With our ancestor dead and the situation against us, what else can we do? Do you really want to fight to the death?”

“If fighting to the death could avenge our ancestor, I, Yu Ninghu, wouldn’t fear it!”

“But that would just be pointless sacrifice.”

“Our Yu Family history records that three hundred years ago, our ancestors rose from a small Qi Refining family, broke through to Foundation Establishment, seized Bihu Mountain, and established the Yu Family of Bihu Mountain!”

“How could we be worse off now than we were then!?”

“As long as we’re alive, there’s hope for the future!”

Yu Ninghu looked at everyone, his voice ringing out firmly.

Hearing Yu Ninghu’s words, even though they were unwilling, they understood the reasoning.

They all began to return to pack their belongings and prepare for the relocation.

“Brother.”

Yu Ningyuan looked at his elder brother, his voice choked with emotion.

As the Yu Family head, having to hand over Bihu Mountain’s legacy to others filled his heart with frustration.

“Hold it in! Keep the family grudge and clan hatred in your heart! Don’t show it!”

“Lu Changsheng confining our Yu Family to Little Jing Mountain for ten years is his attempt to make us forget our family grudge!”

“But how can we forget the revenge for our stolen home and slain ancestor! How dare we forget!”

Yu Ninghu patted his shoulder, his voice hoarse as he spoke.

In an elegant room.

Lu Changsheng used the ‘Yin-Yang Nirvana Technique’ and ‘Life Transfer Technique’ to nourish Ling Zixiao’s meridians and dantian, quickly stabilizing her condition.

Afterwards!

Afterwards!

Afterwards!

“Zixiao, there’s no need to do this in the future.”

Lu Changsheng embraced Ling Zixiao, whose body was flushed and covered in a sheen of sweat, speaking gently.

Through Secret Techniques, he had managed to stabilize Ling Zixiao’s meridians and dantian.

But the past year and more of nurturing Ling Zixiao’s body seemed to have been in vain.

To truly restore Ling Zixiao, they could only hope for Lu Miaoge’s Taiji True Water..

Or perhaps draw some Natural Treasures or miraculous pills that could help.

“My lord can’t reveal his true strength right now, so there are some things he can’t do. Naturally, I must step in.”

“Moreover, with my lord’s family just established, the surrounding families will surely be eyeing us covetously.”

“Only by displaying sufficient strength can we achieve a certain deterrent effect.”

Ling Zixiao nestled in Lu Changsheng’s arms, her lush body as soft as silk, almost limp. Her pale and elegant face still flushed as she spoke softly.

Having been with Lu Changsheng at Qingzhu Mountain for over a year, she knew he wanted to establish a family power. So in her spare time, she had spent considerable effort understanding the situation here.

She knew that in the Qingyun Region, besides Bihu Mountain, Qingzhu Mountain, Hundred Bird Lake, and Centipede Ridge, there were many other family powers.

Now that they were establishing a family power, they naturally needed to have a certain deterrent force.

This would make it easier for surrounding families to acknowledge them and facilitate future actions.

In her view, today was a good opportunity to establish authority and display their strength.

Of course, besides this aspect, there were other reasons.

For instance, as Lu Changsheng’s dao companion, now that the family was established, she naturally needed to establish a certain prestige.

This would make it easier for her to act within the family in the future.

Her actions today were also to establish prestige for herself.

Additionally, since they met in Nine Heavens Immortal City,

it had always been Lu Changsheng giving to her one-sidedly.

Ling Zixiao was inherently a proud person, so she naturally wanted to do something for Lu Changsheng as well.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Lu Changsheng held the fragrant and soft jade in his arms, speaking gently.

He naturally understood this reasoning.

But seeing Ling Zixiao willing to sacrifice so much for him, he felt touched.

He knew that his efforts towards Ling Zixiao over the past year had some effect.

“My lord, Yu Ninghu is no simple person.”

“Moreover, many in the Yu Family will harbor jealousy and thoughts of revenge against us.”

“We naturally have no fear, but our children at home will face troubles.”

“My idea is to first understand the Yu Family’s current situation and attitude.”

“Then, we can directly ask the Shadow Pavilion to ‘act’ and remove the Yu Family.”

Ling Zixiao nestled in Lu Changsheng’s arms, lifting her delicate head slightly, speaking softly.

From their brief encounter earlier, she could see that Yu Ninghu was no ordinary person.

She also didn’t believe that the Yu Family could truly let go of this grudge of losing their land and ancestors.

Or rather, ordinary Yu Family members might be able to let it go.

But people like Yu Ninghu and Yu Ningyuan, core members of the Yu Family with deep feelings for their clan, would definitely not easily let it go.

These people were precisely the main fighting force of the Yu Family.

So these people must die!

“Shadow Pavilion?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow when he heard this name.

Although he hadn’t heard of this name before, he vaguely guessed what this organization did.

“The Shadow Pavilion is an underground organization in Nine Heavens Immortal City. As long as you can afford the Spirit Stones, you can hire people for assassinations.”

“After a few years when the heat dies down, and we’ve roughly figured out the situation of the Yu Family’s core members outside, we can hand over the information to the Shadow Pavilion to deal with.”

Ling Zixiao explained to Lu Changsheng.

Her ability to establish herself in Nine Heavens Immortal City showed she wasn’t some naive girl, but had certain skills.

Otherwise, with her Dragon Chant Physique, yet unable to use even Foundation Establishment cultivation, how could she establish herself in Nine Heavens Immortal City?

“Hehe, we’re thinking alike on this matter.”

Lu Changsheng smiled when he heard this.

From when Ling Zixiao said to imprison the Yu Family on Little Jing Mountain for ten years, he guessed that Ling Zixiao wouldn’t let the Yu Family off.

He felt the same way.

After all, how could such family hatred be resolved just by saying so?

“It’s a pity we gave the Mysterious Pearl to Nangong Mili. With the Mysterious Pearl, handling this matter would have been much easier.”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of his Rare Treasure, the Mysterious Pearl.

This Rare Treasure could not only deceive Spirit Contracts but also perfectly disguise as others.

It was perfect for doing some unspeakable things.

“Since my lord thinks the same, that’s even better.”

Hearing this, Ling Zixiao’s face broke into a smile.

In their year and more of interaction, Lu Changsheng gave her the impression that although he wasn’t entirely proper, he was still quite gentlemanly.

She had worried that after signing the Spirit Contract, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t do such a treacherous thing.

“How could such matters be resolved just by saying so?”

Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly.

As he spoke, looking at the snow-white crystalline voluptuous body in his arms, he turned over and said, “Zixiao, my Yin-Yang essence has recovered these days.”

“Mmm~”

Instantly, the soft body like silkworm cocoons completely melted like water at this moment, her voice intermittent.

Three days later.

A piece of news spread among many surrounding families, causing quite a stir.

Bihu Mountain had changed hands!

The Yu Family of Bihu Mountain had repeatedly offended the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain.

A year and a half ago, when Lu Miaofeng of Qingzhu Mountain was breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he failed due to harassment and interference from Yu Jinyang, Yu Yuanshan, and Yu Ningjun of the Yu Family!

This time, when Lu Miaoge of Qingzhu Mountainnwas breaking through to Foundation Establishment, three people from the Yu Family attacked again.

Unexpectedly, Lu Miaoge’s husband, Lu Changgheng, not only broke through to Foundation Establishment while away but also obtained Top-Tier talisman inheritance!

Facing three Foundation Establishment great cultivators from the Yu Family, he deployed hundreds of talismans, formed a talisman array, and single-handedly killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Subsequently, the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain allied with the Bai family of Hundred Bird Lake and went to Bihu Mountain to demand an explanation.

During this process, Lu Changsheng’s partner, using the formation token obtained from the Yu Family Patriarch, actually broke the formation with another formation, forcefully confronting the Yu Family’s ‘Blue Water Sky Green Grand Formation’.

In the end, they forced the Yu Family of Bihu Mountain to compensate with their ancestral foundation, Bihu Mountain!

Afterwards, Lu Changsheng notified the surrounding families that three months later, he would hold a clan establishment ceremony at Bihu Mountain!

Establishing the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain!

At the Zheng Family of Centipede Ridge.

“Lu Changsheng of Qingzhu Mountain has taken Bihu Mountain, established his own clan, founding the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain!”

The Zheng Family Patriarch was so shocked by this news that he couldn’t speak.

For a moment, he didn’t know whether to be happy or worried.

He had long been short on lifespan, with only two or three years left now.

So he had early on pledged allegiance to the Yu Family of Bihu Mountain.

But unexpectedly, the Yu Family was now destroyed by the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain and Hundred Bird Lake.

The clan’s Spirit Land, Bihu Mountain, had become the Spirit Land of Lu Changsheng, the son-in-law from Qingzhu Mountain.

“Lu Changsheng, Lu Changsheng.”

“I originally thought this person was extraordinary, with exceptional talent in talisman techniques, but I didn’t expect that he not only broke through to Foundation Establishment but also obtained Top-Tier talisman inheritance.”

“I heard that Wan’er is already pregnant with Lu Changsheng’s second child. I wonder what talents these two children will have, and whether they can help our Zheng Family in the future.”

The Zheng Family Patriarch, with a withered face, dim eyes, and wrinkled all over, fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he spoke to someone outside the Cave Dwelling: “Tell Minglang and the others to come see me!”

“Lu Changsheng has a great hobby of taking wives and concubines and having children!”

“It’s just that now that he has broken through to Foundation Establishment, he no longer looks at ordinary women.”

“Otherwise, if our Zheng Family could marry several women to Lu Changsheng as concubines, and they give birth to talented offspring in the future, it could also ensure the safety of our Zheng Family.”

The Zheng Family Patriarch muttered to himself.

Now that the Yu Family of Bihu Mountain had fallen, he had to find a new support for the Zheng Family before he died.

And the new master of Bihu Mountain, in his view, was worth investing in.

He had read about Lu Changsheng and knew that he was a man who valued loyalty and righteousness.

Especially when it came to wives, concubines, and children.

If several women from his family could marry Lu Changsheng, win his favor, and give birth to talented offspring, even if Lu Changsheng wanted to take Centipede Ridge in the future.

For the sake of his own women and their descendants, he would also treat the Zheng Family well.

But thinking about sending his family’s women to be concubines for Lu Changsheng, having to give birth to children one after another, which was equivalent to half-wasting their cultivation path, he sighed deeply again, the wrinkles on his face trembling slightly, his eyes dim and lightless.

At Yunshan Market.

“Lu Changsheng, how is this possible, how is this possible!”

Yu Ningyuan, hearing the news that his family’s patriarch had died and Bihu Mountain had been taken by Lu Changsheng, was furious and full of disbelief.

He remembered when he went to Jiulong Market to recruit Lu Changsheng, he was still high and mighty.

Now, he had just broken through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining and was stationed outside.

While Lu Changsheng had not only broken through to Foundation Establishment but also killed his patriarch and taken away his family’s Spirit Land!

At Jiulong Market.

“Lu Changsheng of Qingzhu Mountain killed three patriarchs of the Yu Family, took Bihu Mountain, and intends to establish the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain.”

Yu Maocheng and his wife Yu Ningrong, hearing this news, looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

They naturally knew Lu Changsheng, and had a good relationship with him before.

Due to the two families being neighbors, Yu Ningrong had even married her friend’s daughter, Yun Qianqian, to Lu Changsheng as a concubine.

But after Lu Changsheng left Jiulong Market, their relationship gradually cooled.

Only Yun Qianqian and Yu Ningrong occasionally exchanged letters and met a few times.

Now when they heard news of Lu Changsheng again, they learned that Lu Changsheng had killed three patriarchs of the Yu Family and become the master of Bihu Mountain!

“Sister Rong.”

Yu Maocheng looked at his wife, wanting to speak but hesitating.

He wanted to comfort her, but didn’t know what to say.

“Husband, we’re at this age now, and with the family facing such a calamity, what can I do?”

Yu Ningrong naturally knew what her husband wanted to say, and showed a bitter smile.

Although she was from a branch family of the Yu clan.

She had grown up on Bihu Mountain after all.

Now hearing that her family had been destroyed and the patriarch killed, how could she not have feelings about it?

But she was only a small cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and now her children had all started their own families, what could she do, what could she participate in?

In a valley filled with miasma.

“Lu Changsheng, son-in-law of the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain, originally a live-in son-in-law, broke through to Foundation Establishment and obtained talisman inheritance?”

“Shortly after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he relied on Talisman Formations to single-handedly kill three Foundation Establishment cultivators”

In the Cave Dwelling, a middle-aged man dressed in a black brocade robe, with a dark and slightly stiff face, looked at the information in his hand.

“It seems this Talisman Making Inheritance is no ordinary matter. And to be able to gift Foundation Establishment Pills to others, this Lu Changsheng’s fortuitous encounter must be significant.”

“There’s also a formation technique grandmaster. If we can control them, these two would be of great use to our clan.”

The black-robed man’s eyes darkened, flashing with specks of crimson as he muttered to himself.
