Chapter 601: This Immortal Is No Ordinary Person; Yue Kingdom Falls!

“Boom, boom, boom——”

In the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, the battle was fierce.

Lu Changsheng killed a quasi-Third-Tier Bull Demon, his heart heavy as he stared at the scene of corpses and severed limbs before him.

After more than eighty years of cultivation, he had grown accustomed to witnessing life and death, having experienced several rounds of partings.

Yet even then, the sight before him still evoked a pain in his heart.

“A pioneering war is nothing but a brutal meat grinder.”

“And this is just an ordinary pioneering war where the Jiang Kingdom has a significant advantage.”

“If it were a Great Pioneering War or a war sweeping through the entire Southern Wilderness cultivation world, how much more brutal it would be.”

Lu Changsheng then thought of the potential future war with the Seven Sects of Demon Dao.

The ancient texts describe such scenarios with just a few simple words—’complete devastation, misery everywhere.’

If you don’t personally experience it, it’s hard to truly understand the brutality.

Not far away, Lu Wangshu was also feeling the heaviness.

She had been pampered since childhood and had never endured much hardship.

Although she had witnessed plenty of fights and family feuds,

nothing compared to the striking impact of this war.

The army of cultivators clashed straight on with the beast tide, various techniques and glimmers of spiritual light interwoven, colliding and reflecting across the battlefield, turning it into a scene of twilight and dawn.

Even though the human side had a huge advantage,

whenever a Top-Tier Second-Tier Great Demon appeared, the powerful impact would send many Qi Refining stage cultivators flying like fallen leaves in an autumn wind, severely injuring them, and some even died, vomiting blood.

Those who were fortunate enough might be rescued by the medical team when they arrived.

But the unlucky ones might die instantly in the battle’s aftermath.

“Boom, boom, boom——”

As the battle continued, days later, the originally clear sky was gradually covered by thick dark clouds.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The earth began to tremble violently.

From far away to near, many people felt an oppressive and heavy aura approaching.

Lu Changsheng stood high in the sky, gazing far into the distance. He saw a massive, black mountain in the distance. It was moving forward, stepping with four immensely thick legs.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Each step it took left a giant crater in the ground, causing the earth to shake.

Lu Changsheng recognized it was a Black Tortoise Demon King.

Besides this Black Tortoise, it seemed there was another faint, strange demonic energy lurking within its mountain-like shell.

“Everyone, be on guard! Deploy the defensive formation!”

Lu Changsheng immediately called out to the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators commanding this battle.

If the main army continued to charge forward, the aftermath of the Golden Core cultivators and Demon King’s battle would inevitably cause massive casualties.

After speaking, he lightly raised the Talisman Pen in his hand, outlining a huge green talisman in midair. It transformed into a misty spiritual light filled with vitality, healing the cultivators on the battlefield.

As the Black Tortoise Demon King emerged, the already prepared Golden Core True Persons of the Azure Cloud Sect appeared. A total of four people formed a formation and attacked this Black Tortoise Demon King.

“Boom, boom, boom——”

The war erupted suddenly!

Seeing the fierce confrontation between the two sides, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but frown.

Weak!

They were simply too weak!

The strength of these Golden Core True Persons of the Azure Cloud Sect was truly average.

If he made a move, a single Yin-Yang Grand Capture would be enough to subdue all four of them.

Watching them struggle to barely suppress the Black Tortoise Demon King, Lu Changsheng understood why the efficiency was so low.

But he also knew that he couldn’t compare these people with himself.

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators could hardly defeat a Demon King of the same level.

Even if they could kill it, they would have to pay a heavy price, which wasn’t worth it.

Only someone like himself, who could subdue and suppress Demon Kings without injury, could treat the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and Da Mengze like his own backyard.

Just as the four Golden Core True Persons were fully suppressing the Black Tortoise Demon King, a terrifying, soul-stirring breath suddenly rang out.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss——”

A dark shadow suddenly appeared, lunging towards one of the Golden Core True Persons, shattering his protective barrier and sending him flying with blood spraying from his mouth.

“As expected, there was another Third-Tier Demon King lying in wait.”

“The Shadow Serpent, an expert at ambushing, excels at lying dormant and hiding its aura, killing its targets unexpectedly.”

Lu Changsheng had sensed some other auras within the mountain-like shell of the Black Tortoise Demon King earlier.

But it was too far away to observe closely, so he didn’t know the specific situation.

Now it seemed that this Demon King was quite clever, knowing how to use such tactics.

“Wangshu, be careful.”

Lu Changsheng reminded his daughter not far away and then dashed towards the front lines.

Although others from the Azure Cloud Sect would come to support later on even if he didn’t intervene,

in such a war, even a small variable or accident might lead to the tragic death of many low-level cultivators.

Having seen the brutality of war, Lu Changsheng was still willing to lend a hand when he could.

Not for any other reason—just to make himself feel better and clear his mind.

Not only did Lu Changsheng join in, but also Xiao Xiyue and several other False Core True Persons hurried towards the front.

Such unexpected situations had to be resolved immediately to avoid further complications.

Besides, in such cases, they also had a justified reason to strike and gain a share of the spoils from this Demon King.

“Demon Suppression Talisman!”

Lu Changsheng was the first to reach the battlefield, immediately channeling the Yin-Yang Spiritual Energy from his Qi Sea Dantian. In an instant, it turned into the power of the Ninty-Nine Profound Symbols. With the Talisman Pen Magical Treasure in his hand, he drew a massive talisman, aiming to suppress the Black Tortoise Demon King.

Even though he hadn’t yet condensed his innate Divine Talisman, relying on his cultivation and realm, he could still unleash seventy to eighty percent of this technique’s power.

To avoid revealing too much, Lu Changsheng forcibly restrained his urge to use divine abilities.

Instead, he kept drawing talisman techniques one after another, helping to control the battlefield.

Yet even with these simple methods, the few other Golden Core True Persons and the arriving False Core True Persons were astonished. They privately thought that this Real Changsheng, who managed to become Dao partners with Real Xiyue, was indeed extraordinary.

“Thank you, Real Changsheng!”

The Golden Core True Person who was seriously injured by the Shadow Serpent thanked Lu Changsheng, then suppressed his injury and continued to fight.

“Zing, zing, zing——”

Xiao Xiyue arrived, summoning a silver-white long zither with an ancient and elegant design.

As the ancient zither rang out, it radiated a brilliant light that formed a piercing sound imbued with the power to kill.

Then, a slender, moonlight-like Flying Sword shot out from within the body of the zither.

This was indeed her innate Magical Treasure—Supreme Emotionless!

The zither and the Flying Sword, like the sun and moon together, accentuated her graceful and dreamlike figure, transforming into a supreme, ethereal beauty, suppressing the Shadow Serpent.

With the reinforcement of these two, the situation that had nearly turned disastrous stabilized.

By then, the other three arriving False Core True Persons had also summoned their own Magical Treasures, unleashing powerful attacks on the Black Tortoise and the Shadow Serpent.

“Thankfully, Real Changsheng and Real Xiyue are here. Otherwise, there would have been an incident.”

The army of human cultivators in the distance sighed in relief upon seeing this.

Although they believed the Azure Cloud Sect could handle the two Demon Kings,

if even one Demon King broke through and reached them, it would result in massive casualties.

“Didn’t Real Changsheng and Real Xiyue just break through to the Golden Core not long ago? How do they already have this kind of strength, far surpassing False Core True Persons!”

“A False Core is ultimately fake. How could it compare to a true Golden Core? Moreover, it’s said that Real Xiyue has condensed a High-Tier Golden Core!”

“I heard that Real Changsheng is skilled in talismans. Why doesn’t he use a Talisman Formation?”

This battle drew the attention and amazement of many cultivators.

In the crowd, Lu Wangshu rolled her eyes, finding it all dull.

She had seen her father nonchalantly suppress the Golden Core cultivators of the Shadow Sect.

She also knew that the one who subdued Master of the Ten Thousand Lakes with just one move and kicked a Third-Tier flood dragon flying was none other than her father.

These two Demon Kings in front of her weren’t even worth her father’s serious effort.

The reason he was putting on a show like this was clearly to maintain the pretense of his public identity.

“But he’s hidden too deeply.”

Lu Wangshu couldn’t help but grumble.

Although she was the same—in the eyes of outsiders, she was only at the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment.

In reality, under the enhancement of the Xuan Yuan Pearl, her Spiritual Energy was no weaker than that of the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

She also had twenty-six Third-Tier Talismans, nearly a thousand Second-Tier talismans, a quasi-Third-Tier puppet, four Top-Tier Second-Tier puppets, and Dao Soldiers.

She could say that even if a False Core True Person came, they would end up defeated by her.

But knowing that her father had already reached the Nascent Soul stage and still pretended to be a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator, Lu Wangshu felt an inexplicable discomfort.

It clearly looked like a tough battle, but there was a frivolous element to it.

“Immortal Baiyun, quickly use the Golden Light Binding Lock! Don’t give them a chance to self-detonate their demon cores!”

As the six Golden Core True Persons and three False Core True Persons were gradually overwhelming the enemy, a Golden Core True Person shouted, throwing out a formation flag to seal the area, preventing the two Demon Kings from escaping or self-detonating.

Whether fighting against a Golden Core cultivator or a Third-Tier Demon King, the fear of the opponent detonating their core was undeniable.

Even if there was a chance of victory, facing the self-detonation of a demon core would still cause severe injuries.

The main reason is, once a Demon King self-detonates, their essence is burned up, leaving only broken remains with little to gain.

Immortal Baiyun had already prepared and immediately cast out a massive chain radiating golden light, like a golden dragon, binding the demons in front of him.

Another Golden Core True Person summoned a huge net, glittering with countless stars.

It was clear that these Golden Core True Persons of the Azure Cloud Sect had prepared special demon-slaying treasures in advance.

Thus, under the suppression and attacks, everyone finally killed the two Demon Kings.

“Huff, huff, huff——”

After the hard-fought battle, both the Golden Core True Persons and False Core True Persons were exhausted but still wore joyous expressions.

Although there was an unexpected situation, it was resolved smoothly, which could be considered a happy outcome.

“I didn’t expect fellow Daoist Changsheng to reach such combat power just a few years after breaking into the Golden Core stage.”

Immortal Baiyun calmed down a bit and praised Lu Changsheng.

If Lu Changsheng hadn’t arrived first to help, they would have been in considerable trouble.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng’s performance on the battlefield was beyond their expectations.

They already expected Xiyue to possess such strength, and even more, as it seemed obvious with her.

But to subconsciously expect a family cultivator like Lu Changsheng to be weaker than them,

“It seems this Real Changsheng might have condensed a Four-Grade Golden Core, and his cultivation technique isn’t ordinary either.”

Immortal Baiyun secretly speculated.

“I didn’t do much, just helped out a bit.”

Lu Changsheng feigned exhaustion and lightly cupped his hands, mentally feeling quite speechless.

He hadn’t even used his divine abilities, only using the first layer of his Golden Core Spiritual Energy.

The Talisman Pen in his hand was still a makeshift creation, a mere low-grade Magical Treasure.

Yet such a performance was actually worthy of sincere praise from these people.

“Sigh, after spending so much time in high-level battles, I seem to have forgotten the standard strength of an ordinary first-layer Golden Core True Person.”

“I can’t continue like this, or everyone might think Real Changsheng excels at combat and sieges, which wouldn’t be ideal.”

Lu Changsheng pondered quietly in his heart.

He didn’t want to show off, just wanted to remain quietly as a Talisman Dao Master.

“Real Changsheng, Real Xiyue, this battle is settled. Why don’t you both join us in assisting elsewhere or clearing out Cave Dwelling ruins?”

At this time, Immortal Baiyun suggested to Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue.

To prevent the Beast God Mountain demons from mounting an all-out attack, the Four Great Immortal Sects would always inspect the situation and set up ambushes early for each assault.

For example, today, a Shadow Serpent hiding on the Black Tortoise Demon King had already been an unexpected variable.

“There ought to be plenty of treasures in the Cave Dwellings of these two Demon Kings.”

Immortal Baiyun added.

Both of them, being Golden Core True Persons, had contributed greatly. They were qualified to share in the spoils.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue exchanged a glance and nodded.

As Golden Core cultivators, it would indeed be a waste of their power to remain here engaging mere Second-Tier Spirit Beasts.

Having seen the brutality of war and with the strength to help, Lu Changsheng was willing to contribute a bit more.

Immediately, after giving some instructions to his daughter Lu Wangshu, he and Xiao Xiyue followed the other three Golden Core True Persons to support other areas, hunting other Demon Kings and clearing the frontlines and Cave Dwelling ruins.

Each time a Spirit Beast or Demon King was slain, it counted as battle merit.

Any unexpected gains acquired from outside or Spirit Beast Cave Dwellings could be submitted, or providing useful information could also earn corresponding battle merits.

But often, people would pocket the spiritual herbs and Natural Treasures they obtained from the Cave Dwellings rather than handing them over, and nobody would say anything.

Otherwise, or solely relying on killing Spirit Beasts, it would be incredibly difficult to accumulate enough battle merits to redeem the desired items.

Upon arriving at the Black Tortoise Demon King’s Cave Dwelling, Immortal Baiyun and the others were not stingy and offered Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue a share according to their contributions.

“So this is how the Demon Hunting teams operate?”

This was Lu Changsheng’s first-ever experience joining a team to hunt Spirit Beasts and explore Cave Dwelling ruins.

However, there wasn’t much danger this time, plus everyone knew each other, so there was no need to worry about turning against each other over some benefits.

Unlike most rogue cultivators who often betray or turn on others halfway through their Spirit Beast hunts or ruins exploration.

Everything went smoothly, and the slightly rewarded Lu Changsheng and the others were in a good mood.

But that night, they were reminded by the Supreme Elder to be cautious in the upcoming period.

Earlier that day, in the Sunset Glow Sect’s warzone, a Third-Tier Late-Stage Demon King suddenly appeared, killing a Golden Core Elder of the Sunset Glow Sect and three False Core cultivators, causing tremendous casualties among low-level cultivators.

Ultimately, relying on Dao Soldiers, the Sunset Glow Sect managed to hold on until Immortal Qingluan arrived to swiftly deal with the Demon King.

“A Third-Tier Late-Stage Demon King.”

The Golden Core True Persons present had solemn expressions upon hearing this.

It’s no easy task for a cultivator to slay a Demon King of equivalent rank.

And for a Demon King to grow into the late stage of Third-Tier, their bloodline and strength would be exceptional.

Such a Demon King could only be killed by several Late-Stage Golden Core cultivators.

If one of these Third-Tier Late-Stage Demon Kings suddenly appeared, it could definitely catch them off guard.

“It seems the counteroffensive by the Demon Kings is becoming fiercer.”

The faces of the Golden Core True Persons present didn’t look good.

Even they would face life-threatening situations if they encountered a Third-Tier Late-Stage Demon King.

However, the pioneering war had to continue no matter what.

As Jiang Kingdom fully commits to the pioneering war, the battle between Liang Kingdom and Yue Kingdom has also intensified and entered a fever pitch.

Beast God Mountain has not only deployed its Nascent Soul True Lord but also dispatched a Four-Tier Beast King!

This is the true foundation of Beast God Mountain’s rule over Liang Kingdom!

Using a unique secret technique, the Beast King’s life potential and resources were expended to turn it into a true war machine!

Although its strength, intelligence, mobility, and tactics are far inferior to a Fourth-Tier transformed Demon King,

its massive, mountain-like body is immune to most techniques. Anyone below Nascent Soul would have to retreat at once!

Faced with such a ferocious offensive, the frontlines of Yue Kingdom collapsed.

Moreover, under the ambush of Liang Kingdom, several Golden Core True Persons from Yue Kingdom fell, and more than ten False Core True Persons died in battle.

Even the direct disciple of True Lord Hunyuan, hailed as a prodigy destined for Nascent Soul advancement, Real Wuji, fell in this battle, delivering a heavy blow to Yue Kingdom’s morale.

At this moment, in a stationed outpost of the Golden Sun Sect.

“Qingshan, your Condensing Crystal Pill is set. I also have two Golden Core materials here that should suit you well. Later on, you can exchange for one or two more from the sect.”

“From now on, you should cease taking on missions and focus all your time and energy on cultivation to break through Golden Core as soon as possible.”

“You are now on Liang Kingdom’s kill list. If you take on another mission, you will most likely be ambushed by Liang Kingdom’s Golden Core True Persons.”

Immortal Tian Yuan looked at the sharp-eyed young man before her and spoke.

She too had been severely injured in the last battle on the frontlines.

Given the current state of the war, Yue Kingdom was completely outmatched by Liang Kingdom, and they had no option but to wait for Jiang Kingdom’s support.

But according to her sources, Jin Kingdom’s Yin Ghost Sect’s Supreme Elder was attempting to break through to Nascent Soul, and Liang Kingdom was also involved.

In that battle, True Sword was severely wounded by the ambush set up by True Lord Tiansha and Heaven Corpse Sect Master in Yin Ghost Sect.

So she was deeply concerned that Jiang Kingdom’s pioneering war might face unforeseen circumstances and get entangled, making timely support impossible.

“Master, if I return, what about Xiaozhu?”

Lu Qingshan asked after hearing this.

He had been fighting on the frontlines to both earn enough contributions and to care for his younger sister Lu Qingzhu.

Although his sister was part of the support staff and not in much danger,

to ensure her absolute safety, he had taken it upon himself to complete all the contribution tasks.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already had Qingzhu relocated to the rear, where she’ll be safe. You should focus on cultivating and breaking through Golden Core. That’s your top priority.”

“True Lord Hunyuan holds you in high regard. Now that the frontlines are failing, I’ve learned from the Supreme Elder that True Lord Hunyuan and True Lord Ziguang are drafting a list of key cultivators to support with Nascent Soul level resources. You are on that list. If you break through to Golden Core immediately, it could bode well for you!”

Immortal Tian Yuan knew how much this disciple cared for his younger sister Lu Qingzhu.

Previously, the Heavenly Restoration Pill given to him by True Lord Hunyuan had been directly sent to Lu Qingzhu.

If it weren’t for Lu Qingzhu being sensible enough to recognize the extraordinary nature of the pill, consult her master, and persuade Lu Qingshan, that precious Heavenly Restoration Pill might have been wasted.

Thinking of the obedient and quiet disciple Lu Qingzhu, Immortal Tian Yuan let out a subtle sigh.

The latter possessed only a Seventh-Tier Spirit Root.

In terms of understanding and mindset, she was only of average talent, making it nearly impossible for her to reach Golden Core.

Lu Qingshan’s deep concern for his younger sister may one day become a Heart Devil when she faces death or calamity.

She believed that her disciple had the potential to reach Nascent Soul!

As long as he doesn’t die prematurely or fall in battle, he has a very good chance of breaking through to Nascent Soul, and not just any ordinary Nascent Soul!

“Alright, give me five years. I’ll break through to Golden Core by then!”

Lu Qingshan understood the gravity of the situation and responded with firm determination, his eyes gleaming with confidence and sharpness.

In the current situation, only by breaking through to Golden Core can he stand firm in the war and gain a voice in it and its benefits!

He was acutely aware of his sister Lu Qingzhu’s situation.

Being a Seventh-Tier Spirit Root was a huge burden.

But as long as he broke through to Golden Core and defeated three or five Golden Core demon cultivators, he could request another Heavenly Restoration Pill from True Lord Hunyuan to improve his sister’s Spirit Root.

As long as his sister had a Fourth-Tier Spirit Root and he could obtain three or five Condensing Crystal Pills, her future hope of reaching Golden Core would naturally be bright!

“You must not rush the Golden Core breakthrough, with your talent, you might be able to condense a High-Tier Golden Core. If you do it perfectly, you might even have a chance to strive for an Immortal Golden Core!”

“If you can condense an Immortal Golden Core, then not only will True Lord Hunyuan and True Lord Ziguang both hold you in high regard, but they will also fully support you with rare Natural Treasures, cultivation techniques, and Secret Techniques. Who knows, this might even help Qingzhu’s future Golden Core formation.”

Immortal Tian Yuan knew how ambitious her disciple was, always striving to be the best, and how much he valued his younger sister Lu Qingzhu. She deliberately used these words to motivate him.

“Master, don’t worry, I understand. I’ll see Xiaozhu, and then go into seclusion for cultivation!”

Lu Qingshan naturally understood his master’s intentions, but if it could help his sister, he was willing to do it.

Lu Qingshan then visited his sister Lu Qingzhu’s location, talked to her, and informed her about his plan to seclude himself for cultivation to break through to Golden Core.

He instructed her to stand firm and not hesitate to scold anyone who might harass or trouble her. If necessary, she should crush his Jade Talisman and not worry about causing trouble.

“Got it, brother. Don’t worry, I’m not a child.”

Lu Qingzhu smiled gently as she replied, her voice as soft and refreshing as a mountain stream, soothing the hearts of those who heard it.

“You don’t know yourself well at all.”

Lu Qingshan knew very well his sister’s gentle and kind nature.

Seeing her always smiling gently in that tender way, he reached out to ruffle her smooth black hair into a mess, making Lu Qingzhu roll her eyes at him.

“Brother, I still have some Spirit Stones. I don’t need them. You need resources to intensively cultivate now.”

Lu Qingzhu took out a pile of Spirit Stones from her Storage Bag and handed them to Lu Qingshan.

Her brother had only recently broken through to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment. To quickly cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment and break through to Golden Core would certainly require a lot of resources.

“Keep them. Does your brother need these? My Condensing Crystal Pill is already set, and my Golden Core resources are complete, so I don’t lack anything.”

Lu Qingshan glanced at his sister’s little stash, then grinned and said, “Once I break through to Golden Core, I’ll prepare everything for you too. Whether it’s Golden Core materials or Natural Treasures, I’ll get it all together and make sure you break through to Golden Core too.”

“Alright~ Then, brother, you have to work hard and break through to Golden Core, and condense a High-Tier Golden Core too.”

Lu Qingzhu, knowing her elder brother’s temperament, didn’t refuse and smiled gently.

As the two were chatting, someone suddenly came to visit.

“Is Lu Qingshan here?”

Lu Qingshan frowned slightly, feeling displeased. “What is it?”

“I’m Lü Muping. I have something I need to trouble you with.”

The voice outside continued.

“Lü Muping? Real Wuji’s disciple.”

Lu Qingshan knew immediately who it was and stepped out to ask why he had come.

“My master met with an untimely end, and my junior sister is heartbroken. I wanted to ask you to comfort her.”

Lü Muping said softly, his face showing a hint of bitterness.

Although his junior sister was spoiled and willful, with little popularity,

he still cared deeply for the junior sister he had grown up with, even harboring feelings for her.

However, his junior sister had always seen him as an older brother.

Previously, she had even confided in him, complaining that Lu Qingshan was ungrateful and didn’t know how to properly thank her. She found that infuriating.

But later, seeing Lu Qingshan’s astonishing battle achievements and his outstanding performance on the battlefield, Shen Yu gradually developed feelings for him and even sought advice from Lü Muping on how to approach him.

Unfortunately, Lu Qingshan had no interest in Shen Yu.

Even knowing that this girl was the grand-disciple of True Lord Hunyuan, someone who could secure True Lord Hunyuan’s full support if he married her, Lu Qingshan still had no interest whatsoever.

But the funny thing was, the colder and more indifferent Lu Qingshan acted, the more Shen Yu admired him, feeling he was the only one for her.

So when the younger sister was devastated, Lü Muping, seeing his junior sister so heartbroken that she was neither eating nor drinking, decided to invite Lu Qingshan over.

“No time.”

Lu Qingshan said bluntly.

If it were something important, he would consider doing it out of respect for Real Wuji.

But going to comfort some girl? Pure nonsense.

“Brother, now that Real Wuji has passed, you should go pay your respects.”

At this moment, Lu Qingzhu said to her brother.

She was also aware of her brother’s situation with Shen Yu.

In fact, it wasn’t just about Shen Yu.

Over the years, countless female cultivators have admired her brother.

Especially after the war between the Yue Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom broke out, Lu Qingshan’s name stood out, and many female cultivators sought her out to learn more about him.

Although it made her somewhat uncomfortable, Lu Qingzhu still hoped her brother could find a soulmate who could walk this path with him.

Even though she wasn’t particularly fond of Shen Yu, she felt some courtesy was due, given that Shen Yu was True Lord Hunyuan’s grand-disciple.

Besides, Real Wuji himself was quite fond of her brother back then and had even entrusted his daughter, Shen Yu, to bring the Heavenly Restoration Pill.

Lu Qingshan frowned slightly, still holding a certain degree of respect for Real Wuji.

“Brother~”

Lu Qingzhu continued to persuade him, reminding him it was just a simple ritual for Real Wuji, a small gesture to save face with True Lord Hunyuan.

“Alright, alright.”

Unable to resist his sister’s pleas and thinking about the future favors he might need from True Lord Hunyuan, Lu Qingshan reluctantly agreed and set off with Lü Muping.
