Chapter 320: Husband and Wife Join Forces, Problem Solved!

“Hmm!?”

Seeing this man in golden robes, Li Feiyu, Lu Yun, and Lu Quanzhen all had serious expressions.

At the Wujing Ore Field, they had seen countless corpses and suspected that the Zhao Family would involve others.

This power was most likely the Jinlong Ridge, adjacent to White Tiger Mountain.

Although they didn’t recognize this man in golden robes,

they could vaguely guess his identity from his attire.

“Who are you?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the man in golden robes with a calm and indifferent expression.

Since he had suspected that Jinlong Ridge might intervene, yet still came, he naturally had a plan.

Otherwise, if he had just gone back with his wife, friends, and children after hearing a name, wouldn’t he lose face as the Lu Patriarch?

“Jinlong Ridge’s Great Elder, Jin Zan!”

The man in golden robes looked at Lu Changsheng with an arrogant expression and revealed his identity.

“As expected.”

Li Feiyu and the Lu Family disciples felt a heavy weight in their hearts upon hearing this.

“Does your Jin Family intend to interfere in the matter between Bihu Mountain and White Tiger Mountain?”

Lu Changsheng’s expression remained unchanged, his voice cold.

“I’ve heard that a Spirit Stone mine was discovered near your Bihu Mountain’s mine in the Black Cloud Mountain Range. My Jinlong Ridge intended to cooperate with you to mine it.”

“But your Lu Family sought to monopolize the mine, committing murder to silence witnesses, and now you’re using this as an excuse to attack White Tiger Mountain.”

“My Jinlong Ridge has always been on good terms with White Tiger Mountain, so I can’t just sit back and watch this happen.”

Jin Zan, dressed in golden robes, stood with his hands behind his back, speaking in a slow, condescending tone.

As a family with nearly a thousand years of heritage and a False Core Real Person overseeing them, they naturally looked down on upstarts like Lu Changsheng, whose family had only been established for a little over ten years with no real foundation or heritage.

Even though Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge were renowned, he ssill felt some disdain and looked down on them.

Upon hearing these words, both the Zhao and Lu Family disciples showed angry expressions, glaring at each other.

Clearly, both sides believed the other was extremely guilty and had gone too far!

“Heh, the truth of this matter will be decided by the upper sects. Are you determined to meddle in the feud between Bihu Mountain and White Tiger Mountain?”

Lu Changsheng’s expression remained calm as he sneered, “If that’s the case, then let me see what skills you have.”

The sneer was filled with endless contempt.

He had never liked wasting words with others. Given the attitudes of the Zhao and Jin families, there was nothing to discuss; it was a complete waste of time.

Since that was the case, why not let their actions speak for themselves?

“Hmm!?”

Li Feiyu’s expression changed with surprise.

He hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to face off against Jinlong Ridge.

“Changsheng has always acted cautiously and wouldn’t do anything he wasn’t confident in. He had anticipated the possibility of Jinlong Ridge getting involved, so he must have a plan.”

Li Feiyu thought to himself, choosing to trust his close brother.

He gripped his black-gold long blade, his inner power surging. Taking a step forward, his black robe fluttered in the wind, exuding a murderous aura.

Lu Miaoge’s cool, snow-like ffce remained calm as water. Without saying anything, she stepped beside Lu Changsheng, standing shoulder to shoulder.

After so many years as a married couple, she had absolute trust in Lu Changsheng.

No matter what Lu Changsheng did, she would choose to support and believe in him!

The Zhao Family patriarch, seeing this, was overjoyed.

He thought to himself that Lu Changsheng had really lost his mind, unaware of his own limitations, or perhaps blinded by greed, seeking small gains and risking his life!

How dare he speak to Jin Zan like that!

He should know that Jin Zan was the highest cultivator in the Jin Family besides the False Core ancestor, with a cultivation level at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment!

Lu Changsheng dared to offend him like this—it was simply seeking death!

“Good, good, good! What an arrogant Lu Changsheng!”

Jin Zan was momentarily stunned, then became furious, speaking coldly.

He had thought that revealing his identity would make Lu Changsheng retreat in fear.

But to his surprise, not only did Lu Changsheng not retreat, but he also showed no respect!

This not only insulted him,

but also showed no regard for the Jin Family of Jinlong Ridge!

“I’ve heard that you and your wife practice a Dual Cultivation Method, and together, you’re as strong as a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. Today, I, the Great Elder, will test your skills and see if you really have the right to be so arrogant!”

Jin Zan stepped out of the White Tiger Mountain formation, his voice cold as he revealed the pressure of his Ninth Level Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Although he had heard of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge’s reputation and baatle achievements,

he didn’t quite believe them.

After all, it wasn’t a joke that two early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators had killed multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators, including two Late-Stage ones.

It made sense if they fought together and barely managed to kill one or two.

Especially since the footage from the Shadow Stone released that night at Hongye Valley Marketplace was very blurry, only showing the general situation.

This made him even more convinced that Lu Changsheng was using this method to boost his family’s reputation and take the opportunity to develop.

“Whoosh—”

Two silver beams shot out from Jin Zan’s eyes.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng realized it was some kind of Divine Sense attack technique.

His Divine Sense had long surpassed the peak of Foundation Establishment, advancing toward Golden Core Formation. Such a Divine Sense attack had no effect on him.

“Divine Sense attack? I can do that too!”

Lu Changsheng snorted, his Divine Sense condensed into a ‘Scattering Soul Needle’ that shot out, invisible and formless.

“Ugh.”

Jin Zan grunted, his brows furrowed, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

He never expected that his Divine Sense attack would have no effect on Lu Changsheng, and he almost suffered a loss himself.

“Hmm!?”

The people around were shocked when they saw this.

Although they couldn’t see the invisible clash of Divine Senses,

they could clearly see that Jin Zan had just been at a disadvantage.

“If this is all Elder Jin has, it’s not too late to retreat now.”

Lu Changsheng, dressed in a green robe, his handsome face otherworldly, spoke indifferently.

“Hmph, I underestimated Lord Lu. It’s true that you made a name for yourself with Talisman Formations, so your Divine Sense is naturally different from ordinary people.”

Jin Zan’s face was gloomy, knowing he had underestimated his opponent. He had thought he could catch him off guard with his Divine Sense.

Seeing this, the Zhao Family patriarch didn’t hesitate and immediately rushed out of the formation, standing beside Jin Zan.

Now that the two sides were clashing, he couldn’t just watch Jin Zan face three Foundation Establishment cultivators alone.

“Roar!”

At the same time, a tiger’s roar echoed from the depths of White Tiger Mountain.

A white tiger with a height of nearly ten feet came running on the clouds, exuding a rolling demonic aura.

If one looked closely, they could see that the white tiger’s fur was sparse and gray, its body slightly thin, showing signs of old age.

This was the town’s beast of White Tiger Mountain, the High-Tier Shouting Cloud Tiger!

Originally, Lu Changsheng’s side had three Foundation Establishment cultivators!

But now, the Zhao Family had two Foundation Establishment cultivators and a Second-Tier spirit beast!

Moreover, this was the Zhao Family’s spiritual land, with the Fierce Tiger Mountain Formation.

This formation was a Second-Tier upper-level formation, and even a Qi Refining cultivator could use it to threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Lu Yun was a bit panicked and quickly opened his Spirit Pet Bag.

“Roar!”

The Nine Abyss Mastiff appeared, its scarlet eyes scanning the crowd as it let out a low growl, its head terrifyingly fierce, exuding a menacing aura.

“Hmm!? A Second-Tier spirit beast!?”

Jin Zan and the Zhao Family patriarch were shocked to see the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

They hadn’t expected that a small Bihu Mountain would have a Second-Tier spirit beast!

Moreover, this spirit beast’s appearance and aura far surpassed that of the Zhao Family’s Shouting Cloud Tiger!

“Is that Xiao Hei?”

Li Feiyu was surprised to see the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

He not only recognized the Nine Abyss Mastiff but also knew that this spirit pet had been found by Lu Changsheng during their three-year journey together.

But how long has it been, and this spirit pet has already advanced to the second grade!?

It’s known that it usually takes at least fifty to sixty years, or even a hundred years, for a demonic beast to hope to advance to the second grade.

And after years of hunting demonic beasts, he could tell at a glance that the Nine Abyss Mastiff was not simple, at least of Earth-Tier bloodline, or even a mutated bloodline!

“Changsheng’s luck…”

Li Feiyu couldn’t help but feel envious.

“Hmph, it’s just a Second-Tier early-stage demonic beast!”

Jin Zan snorted coldly, his tone disdainful.

But the Zhao Family patriarch and several Zhao Family cultivators noticed that their town’s spirit beast, the Shouting Cloud Tiger, showed a hint of fear in its slightly cloudy tiger eyes when facing the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

“Golden Dragon Hand!”

Jin Zan snorted coldly, slapped his storage bag, and a golden claw, shimmering with golden light, flew out.

As soon as the claw appeared, it unleashed an aura capable of piercing gold and stone, tearing through the air as it shot toward Lu Changsheng.

“Taiji Talisman!”

Lu Changsheng grasped Lu Miaoge’s fair hand, their ingers interlocking, as he transmitted his voice to her.

He had earlier spread the word that they practiced a Dual Cultivation Method, and now, they naturally joined forces, making it a reality.

This was also why he came with Lu Miaoge and not Ling Zixiaoo

“Buzz—”

In an instant, their powers flowed together, their energies merging.

The Taiji Talisman in Lu Miaoge’s hand flew out, sppnning in the air, radiating seven-colored light, and then transforming into a small sword of seven-colored light!

The Supreme Kindness Water Technique’s two life-bound spirit tools, one offensive and one supportive!

The offensive spirit tool, the Taiji Talisman, could transform into various Artifacts to defend against enemies!

Lu Changsheng had planted the Taiyi Dao Seed in Lu Miaoge, so their powers caae from the same source, allowing him to control this spirit tool!

“Clang!”

The Taiji Talisman Sword clashed with the golden claw, producing a metallic sound, sparks flying as the two forces collided and rubbed against each other.

“What a formidable couple of the Lu Family from Bihu Mountain! You’re indeed capable.”

Jin Zan’s face changed slightly, then he sneered coldly, “But if this is all you’ve got, thinking you can match a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, you’re gravely mistaken!”

“Golden Dragon Fangtian Halberd!”

He formed a hand seal and slapped his dantian, seemingly producing a dragon’s roar from within.

A spirit tool, shaped like a spear and a blade, flew out from his body, radiating layers of golden light, resembling a roaring dragon, emitting powerful magical energy.

“Roar!”

On the Golden Dragon Fangtian Halberd, ancient patterns flowed, and a dragon’s shadow appeared, baring its fangs and claws as it attacked.

Facing this attack, Lu Miaoge immediately summonee her ‘Water Bottle,’ which floated above her head, forming layers of blue water screens.

“Wind and Fire Array!”

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly, forming a hand seal with one hand and flicking his sleeve.

The talisman floating behind him, along with the Nine-Nine Mystical True Lots, shot out, forming a talisman array that trapped the Golden Dragon Fangtian Halberd.

“Taiyi Dao Sword, strike!”

Lu Changsheng controlled the Taiji Talisman and shouted loudly.

Although the Taiji Talisman was only a low-Tier spirit tool, at this moment, it exuded a fierce aura, emitting a domineering magical energy that repelled the Golden Dragon Hand, slashing straight at Jin Zan.

“Not good!”

Jin Zan’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly controlled his Golden Dragon Hand to intercept the seven-colored sword.

“Clang!”

The Golden Dragon Hand, facing the Taiji Talisman’s attack, began to falter, its golden light dimming, as if the spirit tool was mourning.

Seeing this, everyone present was shocked and stunned.

They never expected that Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge’s combined strengthhwould be so terrifying.

In just a few rounds, they had forced the Great Elder of the Jin Family into a disadvantageous position.

“No wonder Changsheng was so confident. It turns out that he and the young mistress together have the strength of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator!”

Li Feiyu murmured to himself, amazed at his close brother’s strength.

He had thought that after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he might barely keep up with Lu Changsheng, but now he realized the gap between them was so vast.

“This, this…”

“That’s right, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge killed the rogue cuutivators together ten years ago. Now, ten years later, after Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough to mid-stage Foundation Establishment and Lu Miaoge’s cultivation improoement, their combined strength has far surpassed ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. Only a False Core ancestor can suppress them.”

The Zhao Family patriarch felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, sweating profusely, filled with terror and regret.

He knew that this was not the time for regret. He could only rely on Jin Zan to end this quickly.

“Lu Changsheng must be distracted at this moment. If I take this opportunity to kill him, there’s still a chance!”

The Zhao Family patriarch’s expression turned fierce as he shouted to his family, “Activate the formation with all your strength and kill Lu Changsheng!”

As he spoke, he immediately summoned a purple-gold armor and, holding a long blade, charged at Lu Changsheng.

“Your opponent is me!”

Li Feiyu looked at the Zhao Family patriarch, his expression cold as he charged without hesitation.

Even though his opponent’s cultivation was higher, Li Feiyu had fought his way through countless battles. He had seen it all, even killing Late-Stage Qi Refining cultivators as a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator!

“Everyone, stay calm! Use talismans to resist the formation!”

Lu Quanzhen, his expression serious, released the aura of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

As he spoke, he slapped his storage bag, summoning the Second-Tier puppet given to him by Lu Changsheng and shouted to his siblings.

These Lu Family disciples had never experienced such a battle and were momentarily panicked.

But hearing Lu Quanzhen’s words, they quickly calmed down, summoning talismans from their storage bags.

“Xiao Hei, that guy is all yours!”

Lu Quanzhen glanced at the Nine Abyss Mastiff, pointing at the Shouting Cloud Tiger as he quickly spoke.

“Roar!”

The Nine Abyss Mastiff roared at the Shouting Cloud Tiger, causing a hint of fear to appear in its cloudy eyes.

This Shouting Cloud Tiger was a mid-Second-Tier demonic beast.

But the bloodline suppression between demonic beasts was severe.

Not to mention that it was already old and no longer at its peak.

Even at its peak, facing the Nine Abyss Mastiff, it would still lose three parts of its momentum due to bloodline suppression, unable to exert its full strength.

“Not bad.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly as he watched his children’s performance.

Although their performance wasn’t outstanding, it wasn’t embarrassing either.

He was particularly satisfied with his son, Lu Quanzhen.

“Kill!”

He looked at Jin Zan and shouted coldly.

The shaky Golden Dragon Hand finally let out a mournful cry under the Taiji Talisman Sword’s onslaught, cracking.

“How is this possible!?”

Jin Zan’s face turned extremely ugly as he looked at Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, who seemed like a air of immortal lovers.

For the first time, he felt that his enemy was truly formidable!

He wanted to retract his life-bound spirit tool and switch to defense.

But at this moment, the Golden Dragon Fangtian Halberd was trapped by Lu Changsheng’s talisman array, constantly being attacked, draining his Spiritual Energy.

“Boom!”

The Taiji Talisman Sword radiated dazzling seven-colored light, continuing to slash toward Jin Zan.

“Damn it! How can there be such a Dual Cultivation Method that allows a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to have such power!”

Jin Zan quickly summoned a white light orb, forming a thick protective shield around himself.

Then, with both hands forming hand seals, he fully activated his life-bound spirit tool, the Golden Dragon Fangtian Halberd, intending to break the talisman array and attack Lu Changsheng.

However, within moments, he was terrified.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

Under the Taiji Talisman Sword’s assault, the shield began to crack and visibly weaken.

He hurriedly poured all his energy into the defensive light orb to stabilize the shield.

“Hmph!”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng snorted coldly.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

In an instant, the talisman array trapping the Golden Dragon Fangtian Halberd exploded.

Although he hadn’t used many talismans this time, most of them were first-Tier talismans, with only a few Second-Tier ones.

But the power of so many talismans exploding together was still incredibly terrifying, making everyone present tremble with fear.

Jin Zan’s life-bound spirit tool let out a mournful cry as it cracked under the explosion of the talisman array.

“Puff!”

Jin Zan, who had been holding on, suddenly turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body seeming to age rapidly.

“Stop, Lord Lu… I surrender.”

Jin Zan’s voice trembled with fear.

He no longer dared to continue fighting.

He knew that if he continued, he would die here.

Lu Changsheng looked at Jin Zan and, after a moment, coldly spat out a word, “Leave!”

Jin Zan was the Great Elder of the Jin Family of Jinlong Ridge.

Lu Changsheng didn’t want to completely fall out with the Jin Family just yet.

Jin Zan’s face was pale and ugly, wanting to say something but not daring to.

Finally, he glanced at his life-bound spirit tool, gritted his teeth, and fled in a streak of light.

“What!?”

The Zhao Family patriarch and the Zhao Family members were all shocked and despairing at this sight.

They never expected that the Great Elder of the Jin Family of Jinlong Ridge would be defeated so quickly and flee in disgrace before Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge..

This was too shocking and incomprehensible!

“Lord Lu…”

The Zhao Family patriarch, who was fighting Li Feiyu, had the upper hand, pushing Li Feiyu back step by step.

But at this moment, he instantly lost the will to fight, wanting to surrender and apologize.

However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Changsheng controlled the Taiji Talisman Sword and slashed at him.

“Slash!”

The seven-colored light pierced through the Zhao Family patriarch’s armor, instantly decapitating his terrified head.

“Patriarch!”

Inside White Tiger Mountain, the Zhao Family members who were controlling the formation screamed in horror.

At this moment, some were crying loudly, some were screaming in fear, some showed regret, and some knelt down and begged for mercy.

They all knew that their family was finished, and White Tiger Mountain was finished!

“Roar!”

Nearby, Lu Quanzhen controlled the Second-Tier puppet and the Nine Abyss Mastiff to battle the Shouting Cloud Tiger, causing it to cry out in pain.

“Slash!”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng showed no mercy, controlling the Taiji Talisman to kill the old Shouting Cloud Tiger with one slash.

He looked at White Tiger Mountain and said coldly, “Are you not going to release the formation?”

“Rumble!”

Moments later, the Fierce Tiger Mountain Formation of White Tiger Mountain slowly dissipated, and the mountain gate opened.

Lu Changsheng put away Jin Zan’s life-bound spirit tool.

Holding Lu Miaoge’s fair hand, the tww of them, like an immortal couple, descended from the sky and arrived at the mountain gate.

At this moment, all the Zhao Family cultivators were kneeling.

But some were unwilling to submit, breaking their heart veins and committing suicide.

The Zhao Family Head, Zhao Mingwei, looked at the couple in front of him with fear in his eyes and said, “Zhao Mingwei, the head of the Zhao Family, greets Lord Lu and Patriarch Lu.”

“I beg Lord Lu and Patriarch Lu to spare my Zhao Family. I am willing to dissolve the Zhao Family and offer White Tiger Mountain and all the family’s industries to Bihu Mountain as compensation.”

“The Zhao Family disciples are all skilled in prospecting, refining, and crafting. If Lord Lu needs us, we will serve without any ulterior motives.”

The Zhao Family Head and several elders immediately pleaded loudly with tearful faces.

Faced with this situation, although they were extremely angry, they had no intention of resisting.

Their only hope was to beg for mercy and ask Lu Changsheng to spare their lives and preserve their family’s bloodline.

“Hmph, do you really think I came here to take over your Zhao Family’s spiritual land and property?”

“Your Zhao Family plotted against my daughter, coveted my Bihu Mountain’s mines, and even invited Jinlong Ridge to try to oppress us. That’s why I took action to punish you.”

Lu Changsheng snorted coldly.

Although he had his eyes on White Tiger Mountain, the pretext was still to avenge his daughter.

“Yes, yes, I misspoke.”

The Zhao Family Head quickly nodded in agreement, even slapping himself, utterly humble.

“Since you are sincerely apologizing and compensating, I will not exterminate you.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression softened a bit.

“Thank you, Lord Lu! Thank you, Lord Lu!”

The Zhao Family members were both sad and happy, thanking him loudly.

But many Zhao Family disciples kept their heads down, clenching their fists, filled with anger but not daring to express it.

After all, this was an extremely humiliating situation!

“Where are the Zhao Family elders and disciples who harmed my daughter Ruyi?”

Lu Changsheng scanned the Zhao Family members and asked.

Soon, three corpses were dragged over.

These three knew that while others might survive, they had no chance, so they chose to commit suicide rather than face a fate worse than death.

They chose to end their lives rather than suffer later.

Lu Ruyi stepped forward, took a glance, and confirmed that these were the ones who had captured her. She nodded, feeling a mix of emotions.

“Since the main culprits are dead, the enmity is resolved. Let’s put this matter to rest.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was calm and gentle as he said, “Now that your Zhao Family has no Foundation Establishment cultivators to guard White Tiger Mountain, what are your plans, Zhao Family Head?”

The Zhao Family Head was stunned by the question.

Then, with a face full of sorrow and tears, he respectfully said, “Our Zhao Family is willing to become a vassal of Bihu Mountain, at the command of Patriarch Lu!”

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He didn’t really intend to exterminate them completely.

On the one hand, if they exterminated the Zhao Family over this, it would look bad, and the surrounding families would be wary of them.

On the other hand, his family didn’t have the manpower to station at White Tiger Mountain.

Although the Zhao Family no longer had Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could still guard the place.

Moreover, it would be a waste to kill all the spirit root cultivators in the Zhao Family.

Whether for mining or crafting, they would be very useful.

“Father.”

At this moment, Lu Quanzhen transmitted a message to Lu Changsheng.

“Hmm? What is it?”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son.

“I have some thoughts.”

Lu Quanzhen immediately shared his thoughts and suggestions regarding the Zhao Family with him.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and replied with a single word.

The others didn’t know what Lu Changsheng was planning, but no one dared to ask.

“Zhao Family Head, since your Zhao Family is willing to become a vassal of our family, we are now one family.”

“This is a big matter, so please inform all Zhao Family members outside to return home so that we can all get to know each other.”

“By the way, from now on, the affairs of White Tiger Mountain will be handled by me. My name is Lu Quanzhen, and you can call me Quanzhen.”

Lu Quanzhen stepped forward, a smile on his handsome face, his eyes slightly narrowed as he cupped his hands.

“To ensure better relations between our families and avoid conflicts, if anyone in your family doesn’t want to stay at White Tiger Mountain and wants to leave, we won’t force them or exterminate them.”

“As long as you swear an oath to the Dao to never act against Bihu Mountain’s Lu Family, I will let you go. Whether you become a rogue cultivator or rebuild your family, we won’t interfere.”

Lu Quanzhen spoke gently to the Zhao Family members.

“Hmm!?”

The Zhao Family cultivators were stunned, their expressions filled with suspicion.

But they all kept their heads down, not daring to move or speak.

After a while, only one Zhao Family disciple stepped forward angrily, standing before Lu Quanzhen.

“Only one?”

Lu Quanzhen’s expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile.

“Since there’s only one, please.”

Lu Quanzhen made a gesture, leading the person out of the White Tiger Mountain gate.

Seeing this, several more Zhao Family disciples, and even an elder, stepped forward, expressing their desire to leave.

“Of course, you may.”

Lu Quanzhen’s expression remained calm as he spoke.

However, some Lu Family disciples looked slightly puzzled, not understanding why Lu Quanzhen would do such a thing, letting potential threats go.

Although these Zhao Family disciples weren’t exactly threats,

if they were left outside, they would pose a danger to Bihu Mountain.

“Yun’er, go and check the current situation of White Tiger Mountain with the Zhao Family Head.”

Lu Changsheng called out to his son, Lu Yun.

“Yes, Father.”

Lu Yun nodded immediately, stepping forward to confirm the family’s numbers, industries, and resources with the Zhao Family Head.

“Changsheng, although you spared Jin Zan, the conflict has already been established. Jinlong Ridge won’t let this go.”

At this moment, Li Feiyu looked at Lu Changsheng and spoke in a low voice.

“Heh, don’t worry. Unless the False Core ancestor of Jinlong Ridge personally intervenes, the Jin Family can’t do anything to me.”

“Moreover, I only took White Tiger Mountain this time and didn’t have a direct conflict with Jinlong Ridge. I don’t think the old ancestor would make a big fuss over this and come after me.”

Lu Changsheng smiled as he spoke.

Even if the Jin Family’s old ancestor did come after him, he wouldn’t be afraid.

But he naturally wouldn’t say this to Li Feiyu.

He continued, “Besides, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Many families in this area are eyeing Jinlong Ridge. They might not want to see Bihu Mountain rise, but they definitely don’t want to see Jinlong Ridge rise.”

“I’m sure many families will come to Bihu Mountain to talk about forming an alliance to face Jinlong Ridge.”

Lu Changsheng’s voice was calm and steady.

After being the mountain lord for over ten years, he understood these principles.

Jinlong Ridge acted domineeringly, and with their family on the rise, the surrounding families were likely both fearful and unwilling to see the Jin Family continue to develop.

Although Jin Zan’s strength was mediocre, far inferior to the rogue cultivators at Hongye Valley Marketplace back then,

his Ninth Level Foundation Establishment cultivation and relatively young age made him a potential threat, even if forming a True Core was a distant goal.

But with enough resources, he still had hope of forming a False Core.

Once he formed a False Core, no one would want to see that happen.

However, after being seriously injured by Lu Changsheng and damaging his life-bound spirit tool, his recovery might take years, even over a decade.

“Hmm, as long as you know what you’re doing.”

Li Feiyu nodded, knowing that Lu Changsheng understood these things better than he did.

“Feiyu, this armor and spirit tool aren’t bad. They should suit you.”

Lu Changsheng pointed at the Zhao Family patriarch’s spirit tools and spoke.

The Zhao Family, with nearly a thousand years of heritage, still had some foundation.

These two spirit tools were clearly not ordinary products, but high-quality items among spirit tools.

Li Feiyu had mentioned wanting to forge a suit of armor, and now it had conveniently come to him.

“Don’t refuse. I’ve gained so much from White Tiger Mountain, and you should take these. Later, we’ll see if there’s anything else you need.”

Lu Changsheng raised his hand and spoke directly.

He was always generous to those close to him. Since Li Feiyu treated him sincerely, he would naturally help as much as possible.

“Alright, in that case, I won’t refuse.”

Li Feiyu smiled heartily, no longer declining.

“Changsheng, what was Quanzhen doing just now?”

At this moment, Lu Miaoge softly asked, not uuderstanding Lu Quanzhen’s intentions earlier.

She wasn’t too surprised by Lu Changsheng’s display of cultivation and power.

After all, after so many years together, she knew many things.

Unless Lu Changsheng directly broke through to Golden Core or Nascent Soul, these situations wouldn’t shock her anymore.

“Heh, didn’t you notice that Jiu You is missing?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the sky and spoke softly.

Naturally, he wouldn’t agree to his son doing something as foolish as letting a tiger return to the mountains.

“Hmm?”

Only then did Lu Miaoge notice that the Ninn Abyss Mastiff had disappeared at some point, understanding Lu Quanzhen’s real intentions.

It was to first deal with those in the Zhao Family who harbored deep hatred toward their family.

Then they would deal with the remaining Zhao Family members slowly.

Several miles outside White Tiger Mountain.

“Lu Quanzhen, you said you would spare us!”

A Zhao Family disciple was frantically fleeing through the forest, using his Wind Technique, his face filled with fear.

Lu Quanzhen sat on the Nine Abyss Mastiff’s back, his expression cold and silent.

“Roar!”

Soon, the Nine Abyss Mastiff caught up with the Zhao Family disciple, biting him in half, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Lu Quanzhen used a Fireball Technique to burn him to ashes, then used the Cleanse Technique to clean the bloodstains from the soil.

“Good job.”

Lu Quanzhen spoke to the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

If it weren’t for the Nine Abyss Mastiff’s ability to remember their auras and track them, it would have been difficult to deal with them all if they scattered and fled.

“Now that they’re all taken care of, it’s time to handle the aftermath of the Zhao Family.”

Lu Quanzhen narrowed his long eyes, put the Nine Abyss Mastiff back into the Spirit Pet Bag, tidied his robe slightly, and returned to White Tiger Mountain, looking as refined and elegant as ever.
