The Qing Zhu Grand Hall.
The War Council Chamber.
Lu Yuanzhong, the Lu Family Ancestor, was discussing with all the Lu Family senior mbers and elders about the Qingyun Sect’s campaign against the Xiahou Clan.
Now that the Supre Sect had issued an order, their Qing Zhu’s Lu Family must send people to obey the summons and participate in this war.
For these family powers, the war, though dangerous,
was also an opportunity.
As long as they made military contributions, the Qingyun Sect would also reward them according to their achievents afterward.
Spirit Stones, Magic Artifacts, Elixir dicines, secret cultivation techniques and other rare resources that usually couldn’t be purchased could all be obtained in exchange for military contributions.
“Since that is the case, let’s settle on this.”
“In three days, Uncle Yunhan, Uncle Yunfei… Yuan Shan, Yuanhua, Yuan Ling, Miaofeng… will accompany to participate in this battle.”
Lu Yuanzhong announced decisively.
Then, turning to Lu Yuanding and Lu Miaochang, he said, “Yuanding, Miaochang, you both take care of the family.”
“Although it is said that during the war, all family powers must not engage in conflicts, there’s no guarantee that robber cultivators won’t take the opportunity to cause trouble.”
“So, during this ti, you must all be on alert, increase the patrol frequency of the family, and if necessary, use thunderous thods to suppress any disturbances.”
Lu Yuanzhong commanded in a deep voice.
“Yes!”
“As you command!”
“Please rest assured, Ancestor!”
In the hall, nurous figures rose to their feet and respectfully responded to Lu Yuanzhong.
“Miaoge, do you know where Changsheng has gone, and if he can return to oversee the family?”
After the discussion had ended, Lu Yuanzhong looked towards Lu Miaoge and sent a telepathic inquiry.
As the family Ancestor, he now had to lead a part of the elders, senior mbers, and elite forces away from ho.
This would surely lead to a considerable weakening of the Lu Family’s internal strength.
If Lu Changsheng, the Second Grade Talisman Master, were there to oversee things, it would add an extra layer of security.
Moreover, having achieved the Foundation Establishnt and being an Ancestor, he was naturally not foolish.
Through Lu Changsheng’s various actions, his children, and his spiritual pets, he had long since realized that Lu Changsheng was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
He hid many secrets, and it was very possible that his cultivation level was much higher than just the Seventh Level of Energy Refinent.
Thus, having Lu Changsheng in Qing Zhu Mountain to oversee things would make the family much more secure.
“Ancestor, Changsheng has gone out on a matter with a friend and estimates that it will take at least a year before he can return,” Lu Miao replied, pursing her lips lightly.
She had not expected that just three months after Lu Changsheng had left, such a situation would arise.
However, Lu Changsheng had not told her where he was going on this trip.
“Alright.”
Lu Yuanzhong sighed slightly upon hearing this. He knew that Lu Changsheng wouldn’t be able to co back soon to oversee the family.
He then said to Lu Miaoge, “Miaoge, for the ti being, the affairs of the Red Leaf Valley Market will be your responsibility.”
“Yes, Ancestor.”
Lu Miaoge nodded earnestly.
With the Second Elder, Lu Yuanling, also accompanying Lu Yuanzhong on the trip,
the responsibility for the Red Leaf Valley Market had fallen upon her.
After pondering for a mont, Lu Miaoge telepathically conveyed, “Ancestor, Changsheng has a Foundation Establishnt friend from the Qingyun Sect. Before he left, he said if we run into any trouble, I should seek out his friend. So please rest assured, Ancestor.”
Not long ago, Xiao Xiyue had co to the Red Leaf Valley Market to see her daughter, Lu Wangshu.
She had also made the acquaintance of this Xi Yue fairy.
So, to reassure her own Ancestor and considering that if the family really faced a great crisis or trouble, she thought of seeking help from this Xi Yue fairy.
In the bottom layers of the Cultivation World, having a relationship with a Foundation Establishnt friend from the Immortal Sects was considered a very dependable background to rely on.
It could act as a deterrent and solve many problems.
“A Foundation Establishnt friend from the Qingyun Sect!?”
“Very good, very good.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanzhong’s eyes imdiately showed a hint of pleasant surprise.
He had not expected that Lu Changsheng would have such a connection.
Knowing that even just a visiting Foundation Establishnt cultivator from the Immortal Sects could have a certain deterrent effect when visiting Qing Zhu Mountain.
However, thinking back to the previous battle with the Chen Family, when the Chen Family’s betraying Foundation Establishnt female cultivator was present, Lu Yuanzhong suddenly beca curious to ask whether Lu Changsheng’s friend from the Immortal Sects was also a female cultivator.
Still, as the family Ancestor, he restrained his curiosity and didn’t delve into such gossip.
…
Two months later.
“We’ve finally arrived.”
Lu Changsheng stood on the deck of the Spiritual Vessel, overlooking the sea of clouds.
He could faintly make out a towering Immortal City shrouded in multicolored light below.
As the Spiritual Vessel slowed down, the grandeur of Jiuxiao Immortal City grew larger in Lu Changsheng’s view, so magnificent that the surrounding mountains seed like re hills to set it off.
“Jiuxiao Immortal City, so this is what an Immortal City looks like!”
“No wonder, in the vast Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, with many marketplaces, there are only three Immortal Cities.”
Lu Changsheng marveled inwardly at the ever-clearer and extrely majestic Jiuxiao Immortal City.
This Immortal City occupied hundreds of miles, several tis larger than the Qingyun Market.
The surrounding towering mountains seed to be cleaved by a sword to create spacious and flat roads.
On the roads, one could see many beasts of burden and cultivators coming and going as if they were rchant convoys from the secular world.
But in the skies above, many cultivators were constantly moving about.
Magic Artifacts, Flying Boats, Spiritual Artifacts, Escape Lights—all dazzling, indicating that this was not any secular world, but a world of immortals.
Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivators, rarely seen on a daily basis, were quite common here.
From ti to ti, Escape Lights from Foundation Establishnt Cultivators could be seen.
Half an hour later.
The massive Spiritual Vessel slowly hovered in front of the gate of Jiuxiao Immortal City.
“Fellow Daoists, we have arrived at Jiuxiao Immortal City,” said Chiyun True Immortal as his voice echoed on the Spiritual Vessel.
All the passengers ca to the deck, ready to disembark from the Spiritual Vessel.
“Han Daoist Friend, this is the thirty percent refund of the boat ticket due to the travel delay.”
