Chapter 346: I, Lu Qingshan, Come from the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain!

Purple Secrets Realm.

“Lu Qingshan, we admit defeat. The White Jade Ganoderma is yours.”

Two disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect looked at Lu Qingshan, who stood tall and sharp, and spoke in low voices before bowing and leaving.

“Heavenly Sword Sect, interesting.”

Lu Qingshan watched the two disciples depart, his expression calm and indifferent.

After breaking through to Foundation Establishment, if he had the time, he might consider visiting the Heavenly Sword Sect to challenge them.

After all, these two were at best mid-level in the Heavenly Sword Sect, far from Top-Tier talents.

But this kind of sparring did help his Sword Dao.

It showed that the Heavenly Sword Sect, as a sword cultivation sect, still had some remarkable qualities!

He approached the slain Two-Headed Giant Python, plucked the White Jade Ganoderma, which shimmered with a crystalline luster like a jade disc, and placed it in his Spirit Plant Bag.

He had collected quite a few spiritual materials during this journey.

But as long as others were sensible and backed off, he wouldn’t trouble them.

Like these two disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, they were quite reasonable.

As long as they lost in the spar, they would hand over their spiritual herbs without resistance.

“Xiao Jin, continue.”

Lu Qingshan took out a spiritual herb and fed it to the golden hamster in his sleeve, speaking out.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”

The Earth Spirit Mouse happily gnawed on the herb, its face full of contentment.

Then, it looked around, sensing the surrounding spiritual materials.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, Lu Qingshan frowned slightly. With a flip of his hand, a Yin-Yang Communication Talisman, glowing red, appeared in his palm.

Although he hadn’t accompanied Qingzhu Mountain on this trip,

he had given a Communication Talisman to his grandfather, Lu Yuanshan Ding.

To indicate that if Qingzhu Mountain encountered any danger in the Purple Secrets Realm, they could request his help.

It had been over half a month since entering the realm, and the talisman hadn’t shown any sign of activity.

Now, it was signaling a distress call, indicating a high probability of life-threatening danger.

“I need to see who dares to be so audacious!”

Lu Qingshan’s eyes narrowed as he put away the Earth Spirit Mouse and infused spiritual energy into the Communication Talisman.

Then he looked northwest, lightly tapping the Storage Bag with his palm.

The Heavenly Xin Bamboo Sword, resembling both gold and bamboo, appeared and swayed lightly like a swimming dragon.

With a tap of his toes, Lu Qingshan soared into the air, transforming into a sword shadow that shot towards the direction indicated by the talisman, causing the air to hum with the sound of a sword’s cry.

At the same time.

In a dense forest.

Six cultivators from the Jin Family were besieging Lu Miaofeng and two other Lu Family members.

At this moment, Lu Miaofeng and the others were completely surrounded, unable to escape. They could only rely on talismans to barely defend themselves, forming a stalemate.

“Heh, are you still waiting for reinforcements?”

“Hundred Bird Lake probably doesn’t dare to enter Purple Secrets Mountain now, just hanging around the outskirts to collect some herbs. Even if they received a call for help, they couldn’t save you.”

“Too bad no one from Bihu Mountain came, or we would have made Lu Changsheng taste the pain of losing a son!”

The six Jin Family cultivators continued to taunt Lu Miaofeng and the others, who were barely holding on.

Earlier, when Lu Changsheng saw the Jin Family cultivators approaching, he had his son, Lu Quanzhen, meet them and killed them all.

The same was true for Jinlong Ridge.

Because of the White Tiger Mountain incident, Jinlong Ridge harbored an intense grudge against Bihu Mountain, and they were mortal enemies!

However, the Jin Family’s Foundation Establishment cultivator outside the realm didn’t see anyone from Bihu Mountain.

So, when they encountered families like Qingzhu Mountain and Hundred Bird Lake, who were closely allied with Bihu Mountain, they slaughtered them all!

After all, families like Qingzhu Mountain and Hundred Bird Lake could only send three or four Late-Stage Qi Refining cultivators into the Purple Secrets Realm at most.

If they all died in the realm, it would severely weaken Bihu Mountain’s strength indirectly.

Lu Miaofeng remained silent.

He was well aware of the Bai family’s situation.

They had already suffered one death and one serious injury in the outer regions, so they didn’t enter the core area.

But he hadn’t just called for help from the Bai family.

He had also sought help from his nephew, Lu Qingshan.

He wasn’t clear about his nephew’s exact strength, having only seen one simple sword strike.

But that single strike made him realize what it meant to always have someone better than you out there!

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The Jin Family’s coordinated attacks struck Lu Miaofeng’s defensive Artifact, causing his blood and spiritual energy to churn, his face paling.

“Hmm.”

At that moment, Lu Miaofeng suddenly sensed a response from Lu Qingshan. He immediately transmitted to his juniors: “Hold on, Qingshan is on his way!”

“Qingshan, Lu Qingshan.”

The two juniors, upon hearing this, immediately perked up.

They knew that their nephew and cousin was a direct disciple of the immortal sect and a disciple of a Golden Core Formation expert, far beyond what their family cultivators could compare to.

“Uncle Miaofeng, is Lu Qingshan coming alone?”

A Lu Family junior transmitted a question.

He knew Lu Qingshan’s strength was extraordinary.

But if he came alone, it might be difficult to drive off the six Jin Family cultivators.

“Qingshan’s strength is exceptional, comparable to Foundation Establishment. Once he arrives, he will surely drive them off.”

Lu Miaofeng’s voice was firm and unquestionable.

At this moment, he had to give the two juniors confidence.

Besides, he still had two Second-stage Thunder Fire Talismans in his Storage Bag.

As long as Lu Qingshan arrived, he was confident that the four of them could drive off the six Jin Family cultivators!

“Comparable to Foundation Establishment!”

The two juniors were shocked by these words.

After all, the gap between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment was like a chasm.

To be on par with Foundation Establishment while still in Qi Refining was astonishing!

“Lu Miaofeng, if you surrender now, kneel and beg for mercy, we might let you live.”

“If you keep this up, you’re on a path to death. Stop struggling, and we might spare your lives!”

The Jin Family cultivators kept taunting.

They didn’t really expect Lu Miaofeng to surrender.

They were trying to distract him.

After all, in cultivator battles, the state of mind was crucial.

Once the mind wavered, flaws would appear.

They didn’t want to waste too much time with Lu Miaofeng and the other two in the Purple Secrets Mountain.

So they tried to disturb their minds, looking for a flaw to end the fight quickly.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

Time passed slowly, and it was clear that the faces of Lu Miaofeng and the others were growing paler. One of them even had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, barely able to stand.

If this continued, the three of them would surely die!

But even so, Lu Miaofeng didn’t abandon them to escape alone with a talisman.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

At that moment, Lu Miaofeng sensed the approaching aura from Lu Qingshan’s Communication Talisman. He immediately transmitted to his juniors: “Qingshan is almost here, get ready!”

“Yes, Seventh Brother!”

“Uncle Miaofeng, don’t worry, I can hold on!”

Although the two juniors were pale and weak, their eyes showed a fierce determination.

Since they dared to enter the Purple Secrets Realm, they were not afraid to die!

“Be careful, they might fight back desperately!”

The Jin Family cultivators saw the state of the three and warned each other, not giving Lu Miaofeng and the others any chance to retaliate.

“Hmm?”

“Be careful, someone is coming!”

Soon after, one of the Jin Family cultivators sensed a sharp aura approaching and immediately shouted a warning.

But before he could finish, a cold and sharp voice rang out: “You’re courting death!”

A young man flew in on a sword, his expression icy. He wielded a golden Magical Sword and, before even meeting them face to face, slashed towards the five.

This strike was incredibly domineering, unleashing an endless torrent of sword light, overwhelming the sky.

“Who are you!?”

“Not good!”

The Jin Family cultivators were shocked by the fierce sword light. They quickly formed hand seals to activate their talismans and defend themselves.

But in an instant, the sword light suddenly converged into a single point, like a drill, its sharp edge piercing towards a Jin Family cultivator in the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining.

With a ‘pfft,’ the sword light pierced through the Jin Family cultivator’s chest. Blood gushed from his throat as he fell to the ground, dead and unwilling to accept his fate.

This display of Sword Qi Manifestation instantly shocked the remaining five Jinlong Ridge cultivators.

“Qingshan!”

Lu Miaofeng and the others immediately looked at the young man with sharp eyes and a powerful aura, their faces full of joy.

They knew Lu Qingshan’s strength was extraordinary.

But they didn’t expect it to be this amazing.

He had killed one as soon as he arrived!

With this, their chances of victory increased!

“Attack!”

Lu Miaofeng didn’t hesitate, immediately shouting and turning from defense to offense with the other two.

“Why are you becoming our enemy!?”

“If Qingzhu Mountain offered you something, we’ll double it if you leave!”

The Jin Family cultivators’ faces changed drastically, their expressions ugly.

They had seen Lu Qingshan being sent into the realm by a Golden Core Formation expert outside the realm.

But they didn’t recognize Lu Qingshan or know his connection to Qingzhu Mountain, or why he suddenly attacked them.

So they hoped to use benefits and their family’s name to persuade him to leave.

“Jinlong Ridge? Jin Family of Jinlong Ridge?”

Lu Qingshan, with his handsome, chiseled features, raised an eyebrow at their words.

He remembered his grandfather mentioning that Jinlong Ridge had a grudge against their family.

“Yes, we are from the Jin Family of Jinlong Ridge. If you stop now, we will reward you handsomely afterward!”

The Jin Family cultivators immediately replied, their brows showing pride.

After all, their Jin Family was a False Core family!

Even outside the Qingyun Region, they had some fame and respect!

“In that case, you can all die!”

Lu Qingshan sneered. His aura was imposing, like a blazing sun, as he charged at the five with his Magical Sword.

“Fellow Daoist, do you really want to make an enemy of Jinlong Ridge?”

“What did we do to offend you!?”

The Jin Family cultivators’ faces twitched with anger as they quickly took out several talismans from their robes, activating them, and shouted loudly.

Although Lu Miaofeng and the others were already severely injured.

In this situation, they weren’t confident in dealing with Lu Qingshan and the others.

Even if they could kill Lu Miaofeng and the others, they would suffer heavy losses and wouldn’t be able to continue exploring the realm.

“Remember this, my surname is Lu, my name is Qingshan, and I come from the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain!”

Lu Qingshan stood tall on his sword, slashing out sharp sword light with his golden Magical Sword as he coldly said: “Knowing my name, you can now die without regret!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Xin Bamboo Sword under his feet transformed into a sword light, like a silver dragon, tearing through the air as it charged at the five.

This flying sword was a reward he received from the sect’s sword competition. It was a Spirit Tool flying sword with effects like breaking spells, sharpness, traceless sword shadow, and more. He had never used it before, keeping it as a trump card.

But now, to ensure a quick victory and to kill all five, he wielded both swords.

“What? Lu Qingshan, from Bihu Mountain?”

“Is there such a person in Bihu Mountain?”

The five were shocked and confused by his words.

Although Bihu Mountain was well-known, the only famous names were the mountain lord Lu Changsheng and his wives and Dao partners.

Among his children, only Lu Quanzhen at White Tiger Mountain, the family head Lu Yun, and the puppet master Lu Xian’er were known to nearby families.

But they had no recollection of a swordsman named Lu Qingshan, much less one connected to a Golden Core Formation expert.

But at this moment, there was no time to think.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The Gengjin Magical Sword was like a blazing sun, fiercely releasing sharp and domineering sword Qi, striking the five’s defensive shields head-on.

The Heavenly Xin Bamboo Sword, like a silver dragon, surged with waves of sword Qi, emitting a resonant sound. Its sharpness pierced through the shield’s weak point and beheaded a Jin Family cultivator in the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining.

“Jin Ming!”

The remaining four shouted in alarm.

They hadn’t expected that even in their current state, Lu Qingshan’s flying sword could still instantly kill one of them.

At that moment, they felt a strong sense of crisis!

“Hiss!?”

Even though Lu Miaofeng knew Lu Qingshan’s strength, he was still shocked by this scene.

To prevent the Jin Family cultivators from fighting to the end, he immediately activated the Second-stage Thunder Fire Talisman in his Storage Bag, transforming it into endless thunder and fire, killing the remaining four.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

In an instant, the situation reversed.

Originally, the six Jin Family cultivators were besieging Lu Miaofeng and the others.

But now, with Lu Qingshan’s arrival, they were caught in a pincer attack.

“Ah, damn Bihu Mountain!”

The Jin Family cultivators roared in anger and regret.

They never expected that the young man sent by a Golden Core Formation expert would be from Bihu Mountain.

If they had known about Lu Qingshan earlier, they would have fought hard, even at the cost of severe injuries, to kill Lu Miaofeng and the others quickly, so Lu Qingshan wouldn’t have had time to arrive.

But there’s no medicine for regret.

And there was no time for regret now!

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

Under the relentless attacks, the Jin Family’s defensive shields began to falter, their light dimming.

“Pfft!”

The Heavenly Xin Bamboo Sword, like a heavenly flying immortal, slashed through the air, slicing off another head.

“Ah, I’m not willing!”

“Let’s take them down with us!”

The remaining three Jin Family cultivators, eyes filled with despair, knew that in this situation, they couldn’t even escape. They would only die faster.

They immediately looked at Lu Miaofeng and the others with ferocious intent, ready to fight to the death.

“Careful!”

Seeing this, Lu Miaofeng immediately used his last Second-stage Defense Talisman.

He realized that in this situation, they just needed to disrupt and hold the line, and Lu Qingshan would take care of the rest.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

Seeing the Jin Family’s desperate attack, Lu Qingshan sneered, forming a hand seal with both hands, pointing forward.

The Gengjin Magical Sword drew a curve in the air, gleaming brilliantly, and slashed down hard.

“Boom!”

The three had barely managed to block the flying sword attack.

But now, as they relaxed and focused on their attack, their defenses broke, and their spiritual energy and blood became unstable, causing them to stumble.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!”

The Gengjin Magical Sword, like a blazing sun, shot out endless sword light, killing the three directly.

The Heavenly Xin Bamboo Sword, like a swimming dragon, circled around them, finding weak points and delivering fatal strikes.

This series of flying sword maneuvers was incredibly precise, something even many Foundation Establishment swordsmen couldn’t achieve!

Within a few breaths, two Jin Family cultivators died under Lu Qingshan’s flying swords.

“Ah, I’m not willing, I’m not willing!”

The last Jin Family cultivator’s face was pale with despair as he shouted.

“Pfft!”

The silver sword light flashed, and the Heavenly Xin Bamboo Sword, like a swimming dragon, pierced through the last Jin Family cultivator’s heart.

“Not willing? Dying by my hand, Lu Qingshan, is an honor, the only thing worth remembering in your life!”

Lu Qingshan’s expression was cold as he spoke indifferently.

He raised his hand, and the Heavenly Xin Bamboo Sword, like a swimming dragon, returned to his hand.

“Thud!”

The Jin Family cultivator’s heart exploded, and he spat out blood, dying with a look of unwillingness on his face.

Not far away, Lu Miaofeng and the others were stunned by the scene.

At this moment, they deeply realized the vast difference between people!

“Qingshan, it’s a good thing you arrived in time.”

Lu Miaofeng quickly regained his composure, looked at Lu Qingshan, and spoke.

His eyes unconsciously carried a hint of reverence.

After all, Lu Qingshan’s strength was too astonishing, making them feel awe.

“Heh, Uncle, you’re too polite.”

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and said, “Are you all okay?”

Although he knew Lu Miaofeng and the others, he wasn’t very close to them, not as close as his childhood playmates.

“We’re fine, we’re fine.”

“Just a bit of spiritual energy exhaustion, some minor injuries.”

Lu Miaofeng and the others quickly replied.

“I have some healing medicine here.”

Lu Qingshan took out a porcelain bottle from his Storage Bag and handed it to the three.

In their current state, they would hinder his exploration of the realm.

So he hoped they would recover quickly.

Thus, under Lu Qingshan’s care, the three of them healed and rested.

Two days later, after some time, Lu Miaofeng handed a rare spiritual herb they had obtained to Lu Qingshan.

He expressed that if they encountered any unexpected situation in the realm, he hoped Lu Qingshan would take the herb to Qingzhu Mountain.

Because they knew that in the realm, the three of them would only hold Lu Qingshan back.

If they acted together, the rewards couldn’t be evenly split.

To avoid conflicts of interest affecting their kinship, they said they were fine.

They would leave the Purple Secrets Mountain and search for spiritual herbs in the outer areas.

Lu Qingshan didn’t say much after hearing this.

He gave them three Second-stage Talismans, told them to be careful, and continued his solo exploration of the realm.

He would go wherever he heard of a fight, stepping in to mediate.

Outside the Purple Secrets Realm.

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng felt something and opened his eyes.

He saw the Jin Family’s Foundation Establishment elder in the distance suddenly stand up, his face dark and angry, looking furious.

If it weren’t for the many Foundation Establishment cultivators around and the presence of several False Core and Golden Core Formation experts above, he would have vented his anger!

“Could it be that Quanzhen and Qingshan encountered Jin Family cultivators?”

Lu Changsheng rubbed his chin as he saw this, a slight smile on his face.

Too bad he wasn’t here in his true form, or he would have gone over to check on his neighbor.

But he didn’t need to worry, as two Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately went over to greet the Jin Family elder, showing concern.

But this only made the Jin Family elder’s face even darker. He flicked his sleeve and flew off on his Spirit Boat.

This sight surprised many nearby.

After all, while Jinlong Ridge wasn’t a Top-Tier family, it was still in the first tier.

They had sent six Late-Stage Qi Refining family members into the Purple Secrets Realm, a considerable force.

For the Jin Family elder to leave with such an ugly expression before the realm even closed suggested that all six had died!

This was shocking!

But this wasn’t the first time such a thing had happened. The others were just surprised and worried about their own juniors in the realm.

They hoped their juniors would be lucky and avoid running into trouble with the Spirit Control Sect or the Heavenly Sword Sect.
