Chapter 241: Xiahou Wuwo, I’ll Make Sure He Never Returns!

Bihu Mountain.

“Yun’er, what happened here?”

Lu Changsheng’s face darkened as he surveyed the damage caused by the Divine Thunder Talisman.

On his way back, he’d received a message from Ling Zixiao and immediately realized something must have happened at Bihu Mountain.

But he hadn’t expected the battle to be so fierce that even the family’s grand formation had been breached.

“Husband.”

Lu Miaoyun stepped forward andrecounted the events of the night before last to Lu Changsheng.

“Xiahou Demon.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes flashed with anger upon hearing this.

He hadn’t expected that during his brief trip to the Azure Cloud Sect, his home would fall victim to Xiahou Demon’s rampage.

Moreover, based on Lu Miaoyun’s description, thisXiahou Demon had clearly come prepared, having long set his sights on their family.

He had been waiting for Lu Changsheng to leave Bihu Mountain before making his move.

“How’s Zixiao?”

Upon hearing that Ling Zixiao had fallen unconscious, Lu Changsheng immediately inquired.

“Sister Miaoge is treating Sister Ling. I’m not sure of the specifics.”

Lu Miaoyun replied, gently bitng her lip.

After Ling Zixiao had fallen unconscious and Lu Miaoge arrived, she had been standing guard here with the golden armored warriors and their children, in case of any further incidents.

“Alright, Yun’er. Thank you for your hard work. I’ll go check on Zixiao.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately transformed into a beam of light and flew towards Biyun Peak.

Arriving at Hall of Everlasting Life, Lu Changsheng saw Ling Zixiao lying pale-faced on a white jade bed.

Lu Miaoge was beside her, usiig Taiji True Water to treat and nourish her body.

“Sister Miaoge, how’s Zixiao?”

Lu Changsheng stepped forward and asked.

“Changsheng, you’re back.”

“Sister Ling is out of danger, but several of her meridians are extremely fragile and have ruptured. Her condition isn’t good.”

Lu Miaoge’s voice was as gentte as flowing water.

Her face was also somewhat pale, clearly having expended considerable energy treating Ling Zixiao’s condition.

“Thank you for your hard work, Sister Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng felt a heaviness in his heart as he observed the condition of both women.

He immediately took out a bottle of healing pills from his Storage Bag and handed it to Lu Miaoge..

Then he reached out to hold Ling Zixiao’s wrist, examining her condition.

He immediately saw that Ling Zixiao’s internal state was in chaos.

Several withered and fragile meridians had ruptured, and her Dao Foundation in her dantian was dim and lackluster.

He felt that if not for Lu Miaoge’s treatment, Ling ZZxiao’s life might have been in danger.

This added to the weight in Lu Changsheng’s heart and his murderous intent towards Xiahou Demon.

“Sister Miaoge, go rest and keep watch outside. I’ll take care of things here.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and said to Lu Miaoge..

He was preparing to use the ‘Yin-Yang Nirvana Method’ and ‘Life Transfer Technique’ to treat Ling Zixiao.

“Alright.”

Hearing this, Lu Miaoge knew Lu Changsheng as going to treat Ling Zixiao and softly agreed.

“Huff!”

Lu Changsheng sighed lightly as he looked at Ling Zixiao’s pale, bloodless face before him.

He felt that this incident was indeed due to his lack of thorough consideration.

Although he had given Ling Zixiao, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and ohers some means of protection,

These methods could only deal with ordinary dangers and average Foundation Establishment cultivators.

He hadn’t considered much beyond that, such as whether he might be targeted by those with ulterior motives like Xiahou Demon after killing three Foundation Establishment cultivators and seizing Bihu Mountain, when his reputation was at its peak.

“Since breaking through to Foundation Establishment, I’ve acquired more and more techniques. I’ve gradually lost that initial sense of treading on thin ice.”

“Now, I’m not just one person, but an entire family. I must consider everything.”

“Just like this trip to the Azure Cloud Sect. I thought Meng Yibai’s matter was over and didn’t take it to heart.”

“If it weren’t for Master Xiyue, who knows what trouble I might have stirred up.”

Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.

He realized he had lost that initial vigilance of being prepared for danger even in times of peace.

Previously, his wives and children were all on Qingzhu Mountain, with the Lu Family helping to watch over them.

But now, having left Qingzhu Mountain and come to Bihu Mountain, he had to consider everything thoroughly.

Without further thought, he undid Ling Zixiao’s dress, removing her clothes.

Looking at the graceful curves and jade-like flesh before him, Lu Changsheng felt only heartache, without a trace of desire.

He removed his own clothes and gently embraced Ling Zixiao. Like a dragon entering the sea, he activated the ‘Yin-Yang Nirvana Technique’, using his yang essence to treat Ling Zixiao, nourishing her meridians and dantian.

Several days later.

“Mmm~”

Under Lu Changsheng’s treatment, Ling Zixiao’s eyelashes fluttered, and a soft, delicate moan escaped her lips.

“Zixiao, you’re awake!”

Hearing this sound, Lu Changsheng immediately looked at Ling Zixiao with joy on his face.

“Husband.”

Ling Zixiao slowly opened her beautiful eyes, looking at Lu Changsheng. Her pale face managed to squeeze out a faint smile.

“Zixiao, don’t speak yet. Stabilize your breath.”

Lu Changsheng said gently, his movements soft.

He increased the intensity of the ‘Life Transfer Technique’ to stabilize Ling Zixiao’s current condition.

“Mm~”

A faint blush appeared on Ling Zixiao’s pale face as she let out a soft, weak moan.

Time passed slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Zixiao’s face was no longer so pale.

“Zixiao, you’ve suffered greatly this time.”

Lu Changsheng, holding the soft, fragrant body in his arms, spoke with an apologetic expression.

If it weren’t for Ling Zixiao risking her life, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“Husband.”

Ling Zixiao smiled gently, nestling in Lu Changsheng’s arms.

She could feel the concern and guilt in Lu Changsheng’s eyes.

She spoke in a weak voice: “Husband, you needn’t blame yourself. This isn’t your fault.”

In her view, Lu Changsheng did indeed have some issues.

The few treasures prepared for the family were too scattered, and she didn’t even know about them, preventing optimal arrangements.

However, Xiahou Demon had clearly come prepared. Such things were indeed hard to anticipate.

“If I had been a bit more cautious, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Lu Changsheng sighed softly.

“Husband, Xiahou Demon clearly came prepared for this,”

Ling Zixiao gently held Lu Changsheng’s hand and said softly.

She indicated that they seemed to know everything about Lu Changsheng’s whereabouts, her own physical condition, and even the weak points of Bihu Mountain’s grand formation.

This was clearly problematic!

“It seems this matter can’t be unrelated to the Yu Family!”

Lu Changsheng’s face tensed as he said coldly.

Although he had been considerate of appearances and spared the Yu Family,

If they were truly involved in such matters, he naturally wouldn’t care about appearances anymore!

“I also suspect the Yu Family is involved in this.”

“But Yu Ninghu is a clever man. The entire Yu Family now relies on him to keep it going. He wouldn’t take such a risk and cooperate with the demonic path.”

“Moreover, there’s the constraint of the Heart Demon Oath and the Second-Tier Spirit Contract.”

“However, there’s another possibility – that he was coerced by Xiahou Demon.”

Ling Zixiao said softly.

In her view, Yu Ninghu wouldn’t do such a thing voluntarily.

But under Xiahou Demon’s coercion, it was hard to say.

After all, even their own grand formation had been breached by Xiahou Demon.

Little Jing Mountain only had a First-Tier formation.

If Xiahou Demon wanted to make a move against Yu Ninghu, it would be effortless.

And if Xiahou Demon wanted to make a move against their family, gathering information through the Yu Family and Yu Ninghu would be the most natural approach.

“I’ll send a message to the Ji Family right away to see what’s happening at Little Jing Mountain.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

He had originally made Little Jing Mountain a vassal to keep an eye on the Yu Family.

“If the Yu Family is involved in this matter, husband can hand it directly to the Azure Cloud Sect to deal with.”

Ling Zixiao said softly.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this.

He knew that once the Yu Family’s collusion with Xiahou Demon was confirmed, the Azure Cloud Sect would deal with the Yu Family, and they wouldn’t need to act themselves.

“Husband, we should also report the matter of Xiahou Demon to the Azure Cloud Sect.”

“Moreover, as far as I know, among the Xiahou Demons, the patriarch Xiahou Wuwo has always been absent, without a trace.”

“Now that they’ve lost a late Foundation Establishment cultivator in our home, they might seek revenge.”

Ling Zixiao continued.

“Xiahou Wuwo.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed when he heard this name.

He said coldly: “If he dares to come, I’d like to see how he plans to take revenge!”

With the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Talisman and over a dozen Third-Tier Talismans,

If the other party dared to come, he would ensure they never returned!

“As a demonic cultivator who has evaded the Azure Cloud Sect’s pursuit for so long, he must have many tricks up his sleeve. Husband should still be careful.”

“Even if you’re not afraid, we have so many children at home. We should be cautious in the face of such situations.”

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s confidence, Ling Zixiao knew he had the means to face a False Core cultivator, but she still reminded him.

In the world of immortal cultivation, anyone who could break through to False Core was extraordinary.

Especially someone like Xiahou Wuwo.

Not only was he a False Core cultivator, but during the battle at Blackwater Pool, he also carried many treasures from the Xiahou family. He must have numerous techniques at his disposal.

“At this stage, I want all the children to stay home and cultivate peacefully. We’ll wait for things to calm down before making any moves. There’s no need to go out.”

“As for our family businesses outside, we can either hand them over to others to manage or cooperate with other family forces for profit-sharing.”

Lu Changsheng spoke up after hearing this.

The family was currently in the spotlight, and someone might target his children.

“That works too.”

Ling Zixiao nodded slightly upon hearing this.

She knew Lu Changsheng wasn’t like other families.

They didn’t need to rely on too many family businesses to make money.

Currently, the output from Bihu Mountain was enough to support the entire Lu Family.

After chatting with Ling Zixiao for a while longer, Lu Changsheng let her rest.

“Phew!”

Walking out of Hall of Everlasting Life, Lu Changsheng looked at the vast Bishui Lake and took a deep breath, exhaling softly.

“The Sumeru Tree King needs to be planted soon too.”

Lu Changsheng pondered to himself.

He had originally planned to release the Sumeru Tree King after the family’s comprehensive arrangements were complete.

After all, with a Third-Tier beast king guarding the family, safety would be guaranteed.

But if news of this Third-Tier beast king leaked out, it would also bring great trouble and danger.

So he thought it best to prepare as thoroughly as possible.

“Sister Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng called out to Lu Miaoge as he arrived at thh mountain gate.

The weak point in the grand formation here had been directly broken by the power of the black-robed man’s Prohibition-Breaking Pearl and Third-Tier Talismans, causing problems with the buried formation flags. They needed to invite a formation master to repair it.

Otherwise, there would be an obvious weak spot in the entire formation, making it easy to breach.

“Changsheng, how is Sister Ling doing?”

Lu Miaoge’s face showed a gennle smile as she saw Lu Changsheng, her voice soft as she asked.

“She’s awake now and there’s no major issue, but physically, she can only recover slowly through careful treatment.”

Lu Changsheng sighed as he spoke.

Ling Zixiao’s body had just started to improve a bit.

But because of this incident, it had gotten worse again.

After talking with Lu Miaoge for a while, Lu Chaagsheng went to examine the items left behind by the Xiahou Demon.

Under Ling Zixiao’s talismans, both of them had been completely destroyed, leaving no corpses behind.

Only a Second-Tier yin corpse, a few treasures, and Storage Bags remained.

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the two Storage Bags.

One of the Storage Bags contained quite a few items, including Natural Treasures and several demonic Artifacts.

The other Storage Bag, however, was quite clean.

Apart from a few bottles of pills, some talismans, and a Spirit Tool, there was nothing else.

Lu Changsheng asked Lu Miaoyun about who the two Sorage Bags belonged to.

“The Yu Family, Foundation Establishment early stage.”

“This Storage Bag clearly looks like someone’s final arrangements. Could this person really be Yu Ninghu?”

Lu Changsheng pondered as he looked at the Storage Bag in his hand.

Then, he took out a Communication Talisman and sent a message to the Ji Family, inquiring about the situation of Yu Ninghu from the Yu Family.

Afterward, he wrote a letter to Ruyi County, asking Hong Yi to check how many people from their family wanted to come to Bihu Mountain, so he could arrange for someone to pick them up.

Thinking of Ling Zixiao’s current condition, Lu Changsheng wrote a letter to Xiao Xiyue.

He asked Xiao Xiyue if she could request a formation grandmaster from the Azure Cloud Sect to come and set up a formation for Bihu Mountain.

Originally, he had thought of letting Ling Zixiao handle this aspect.

After all, a formation set up by their own family would be more reassuring.

But given Ling Zixiao’s current condition, setting up a formation would be very taxing and affect her health.

It would be better to first invite a formation grandmaster from the Azure Cloud Sect to repair the formation.

Once Ling Zixiao’s body improved a bit, they could set it up again.

After finishing the letter, he wrote another to the Azure Cloud Sect about his family’s encounter with the demonic path.

After completing these tasks, Lu Changsheng began to settle family matters.

The next day, someone from the Ji Family of Little Jing Mountain arrived.

They informed Lu Changsheng that everything had been normal on Little Jing Mountain during this period, and nothing unusual had occurred.

Yu Ninghu was still on Little Jing Mountain, although he rarely appeared in public.

As for other Yu Family cultivators, due to their large numbers, they couldn’t keep track of or see everyone.

“Everything’s normal, and Yu Ninghu is still on Little Jing Mountain?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed as he heard this.

He immediately tapped his Storage Bag, and a Second-Tier truth-revealing talisman appeared to test the truth of the conversation.

Through this talisman, Lu Changsheng confirmed that the other party wasn’t lying.

This made him frown deeply.

Based on his previous analysis and guesses, he believed that the one with the Xiahou Demon was very likely Yu Ninghu.

But now the Ji Family was telling him that Yu Ninghu was still on Little Jing Mountain.

“No, this Yu Ninghu might not necessarily be Yu Ninghu.”

Lu Changsheng paused in his thoughts, coming up with a new guess.

In the world of immortal cultivation, disguises and impersonations were quite common.

If the Yu Family had used a disguise, the Ji Family might not have been able to see through it.

“Sister Miaoge, keep an eye on things here at the family. I’m going to Little Jing Mountain for a while.”

“If anything happens, send me a message immediately.”

Lu Changsheng immediately said to Lu Miaoge..

From Bihu Mountain to Little Jing Mountain was only about a hundred li.

If he rushed at full speed, he could get there in a quarter of an hour.

But being cautious, even with the family’s grand formation, he still gave Lu Miaoge ten Second-Tier toppquality talismans and three Third-Tier Talismans.

He also told her to keep the Golden Armored Bean Mother and to send him a message if anything happened.

“Changsheng, be careful and take care of yourself.”

Lu Miaoge said softly..

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He took out the purple flying shuttle, which turned into a streak of light, cutting through the air and shooting off.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lu Changsheng arrived outside a valley built along a river.

“We pay our respects to Ancestor Lu!”

“Greetings, Ancestor Lu!”

The Ji Family disciples guarding Little Jing Mountain immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Lu Changsheng.

“Bring someone who can speak to me.”

Lu Changsheng said.

“Please wait a moment, Ancestor.”

A Ji Family disciple immediately said, taking out a Communication Talisman.

Shortly after, the Ji Family patriarch arrived and respectfully bowed, saying, “Greetings, Ancestor Lu. What brings you here, Ancestor?”

“Take me to see the Yu Family.”

Lu Changsheng said directly.

“Yes, this way please, Ancestor Lu.”

The Ji Family patriarch immediately led Lu Changsheng to another valley.

In such spiritual lands, even hundreds or thousands of people could live.

But the main problem was insufficient spiritual energy, unable to support so many people cultivating.

“Have Yu Ninghu come out for a moment?”

Arriving at the Yu Family’s residence, Lu Changsheng spoke.

At the same time, he extended his Divine Sense, searching for Yu Ninghu’s Foundation Establishment aura.

“Lu Changsheng, our two families made an agreement back then. As long as we stay on Little Jing Mountain, we won’t interfere with each other.”

“You coming here now, do you intend to break that agreement?”

A Yu Family elder looked at Lu Changsheng with an unfriendly expression and said coldly.

“Smack!”

Lu Changsheng’s palm struck out, a hand formed of spiritual power directly slapping the other person flying.

“We signed a contract for mutual non-aggression between our two families.”

“But that doesn’t mean you can bark at me like this in my presence.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was indifferent as he spoke coldly.

Then, amplifying his voice with spiritual power, he shouted coldly, “Yu Ninghu, come out!”

“Lu Changsheng, what business do you have with me?”

After a moment, Yu Ninghu walked out from the manor and spoke to Lu Changsheng.

“Such a small trick, and you dare to use it in front of me. You truly don’t take me seriously!”

With his late Foundation Establishment Divine Sense, Lu Changsheng immediately saw through this ‘Yu Ninghu’ as an imposter.

At this moment, he was almost certain that his guess was correct.

One of the two Xiahou Demons from before was indeed Yu Ninghu.

As he spoke, a binding talisman appeared in his hand, directly restraining the fake Yu Ninghu before him.

Then, with a grab of his spiritual power-infused hand, he seized the person.

He peeled off a thin veil from the person’s face, along with a crystal pendant.

Instantly, the Yu Ninghu before him transformed into a middle-aged man in his forties with a somewhat rugged face.

“So your Yu Family truly is in cahoots with the demonic path. Now with both witness and evidence at hand, what more do you have to say!”

Lu Changsheng said coldly.

Speaking, he turned to the Ji Family patriarch and said, “Your Ji Family, capture all the Yu Family members now!”

“Yes, Ancestor Lu!”

Hearing this, the Ji Family patriarch didn’t dare to disobey and immediately notified the family disciples to come.

“Lu Changsheng, you’re spewing nonsense!”

“Ancestor Lu, there must be some misunderstanding here!”

“Ancestor, Ning Hu!”

Seeing this scene, some of the Yu Family members roared in anger, some were surprised, and some couldn’t believe it.

“I have already reported this matter to the Azure Cloud Sect. The truth of right and wrong will be determined by the upper sect!”

Lu Changsheng spoke coldly, his expression calm and indifferent.

If it weren’t for the Spirit Contract, and if this matter didn’t need to wait for the Azure Cloud Sect’s handling, he would have killed all the Yu Family members before him right then and there.

“This Lu Changsheng must have deliberately plotted against us. Let’s fight him!”

Someone from the Yu Family shouted, summoning their Artifact to attack Lu Changsheng.

“Bang!”

Faced with this attack, Lu Changsheng simply slapped out, sending the attacker flying.

Between spiritual power and Spiritual Energy, there was a fundamental difference, like stone and tofu.

Against these small Qi Refining cultivators, Lu Changsheng didn’t need to use Artifacts or spells. He could subdue them with brute magical force.

Soon after, the Ji Family arrived and worked with Lu Changsheng to capture all the Yu Family members.

“As expected!”

Lu Changsheng counted the Yu Family members before him. Including Yu Ninghu, six people were missing.

Among these five, Lu Changsheng didn’t remember the others.

But he clearly remembered one – the Yu Family head, Yu Ningyuan.

“It seems Yu Ninghu knew his connection with the demonic path was like sleeping with the enemy. He’s already sent some people away.”

“And through his dealings with the demonic path, he’s found a way to break the Heart Demon Oath and Second-Tier Spirit Contract.”

“No, not necessarily. For these people, escaping gives them a slim chance of survival, at most half-ruining their cultivation path.”

“If they stayed here, once exposed, it would be certain death!”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself as he observed the scene.

“Take these three Spirit Boats and help me escort these people back to Bihu Mountain!”

Without much thought, Lu Changsheng handed three Spirit Boats to the Ji Family, asking them to accompany him.

He planned to escort these Yu Family members back to Bihu Mountain, waiting for the Azure Cloud Sect to come and deal with them all.

“Yes, Ancestor Lu!”

The Ji Family members respectfully nodded upon hearing this.

Earlier, they had heard that Lu Changsheng, this Bihu Mountain ancestor, had average strength and relied entirely on talismans.

But after seeing Lu Changsheng subdue the Yu Family, they immediately knew the rumors were false. This Ancestor Lu’s strength was extraordinary.

The Spirit Boats were much slower than Lu Changsheng’s flying shuttle.

It took half an hour.

Four Spirit Boats landed outside Bihu Mountain.

“Changsheng, is the Yu Family really connected to the Xiahou Demon?”

Lu Miaoge asked in surprise wwen she saw Lu Changsheng escorting so many Yu Family cultivators.

Even with her earlier suspicions, she found it hard to believe the Yu Family was truly involved with the Xiahou Demon.

After all, in the Jiang Kingdom, colluding with the demonic path was basically a death sentence.

“That’s right. Yu Ninghu is no longer at Little Jing Mountain.”

“Yu Ningyuan and several core Yu Family members are also not at Little Jing Mountain.”

Lu Changsheng explained.

Then, Lu Changsheng called for Lu Ping’an and Lu Xian’er.

He asked them and the Ji Family cultivators to imprison all these Yu Family cultivators.

“Thank you for your hard work. This is your reward.”

After the task was done, Lu Changsheng took out five Mid-Tier Spirit Stones and a Second-Tier talisman, giving them to the Ji Family head.

The Ji Family had put in a lot of effort this time.

As the main family, he naturally had to show his appreciation. He couldn’t let people work for nothing.

“Thank you, Ancestor Lu!”

“Thank you, Ancestor Lu!”

Several Ji Family cultivators immediately expressed their gratitude.

In less than an hour round trip, they had earned five hundred Spirit Stones and a Second-Tier talisman. For them, this was quite generous.

After dealing with the Yu Family matter, Lu Changsheng waited at home for someone from the Azure Cloud Sect to arrive.
