A spirit boat emanating an azure radiance passed through Ziyun Gorge.
Atop the spirit boat, Lu Changsheng, clad in a mystic robe, stood tall and slender as he listened to his son, Lu Quanzhen, recount the journey through the secret realm.
He knew not only had Lu Ping’an gained a promotion, but Lu Quanzhen also reaped no small rewards.
With a now far more solid foundation, he could return and consolidate his gains, preparing to tackle Foundation Establishment.
“Quanzhen, did you encounter monks from the Jin Family?”
Lu Changsheng asked aloud.
He had seen Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Golden Dragon Ridge leave in a huff and knew that all six Jin family members had perished in the secret realm, suspecting his sons were involved.
“This wasn’t our doing, brother and I,” Lu Qingshan was the one who encountered the Jin family—
Lu Quanzhen said.
They had discussed it with Lu Qingshan earlier and learned of the Jin family’s misfortune.
Thinking to himself that the Jin family was indeed unlucky.
Otherwise, he and Lu Ping’an might not have run into the Jin Family’s monks at all.
“Qingshan.”
Lu Changsheng’s brow rose in surprise, not expecting that it was his son, Lu Qingshan, who had single-handedly slain the monks from the Jin Family.
It seemed Lu Qingshan’s abilities exceeded what he had known.
After all, repelling six people and killing six people were not the same concept.
“Father, I reckon it won’t be long before people e to know of Qingshan’s deeds, and the Jin Family might connect this to our family.”
Lu Quanzhen looked towards Lu Changsheng and said.
Lu Qingshan’s actions had been highly conspicuous, leading Lu Quanzhen to realize that sooner or later, his younger brother’s information would gradually e to the knowledge of other family forces, and they would remember.
If the Jin Family learned that Lu Qingshan was a son of the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family, they would surely suspect and speculate on this matter.
Yet what truly worried him was not this.
Another Lu Qingshan had now emerged in the family.
If, in a few years, Lu Ping’an came into his own,
then Lu Wangshu, or perhaps some younger siblings he didn’t yet know about, began to rise, it was likely his family would entirely enter the public eye, attracting a lot of trouble.
Because no power would willingly watch a family with several geniuses exist.
Such a family, once allowed to grow and rise, would be truly terrifying!
“Heh heh, what could the Jin family possibly do even if they find out?”
Lu Changsheng said unconcernedly.
He had instructed his sons to act thus without fear of how the Jin Family might respond.
Already, the two families had been tripping each other up behind the scenes, just never bringing the struggle out into the open.
Even if the Jin Family came to know, they could only swallow their frustration!
As father and son conversed, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a dreadful spiritual pressure approaching.
His brows knitted together, and he looked suddenly to the side.
“Father, what’s wrong?”
Lu Quanzhen, seeing his father’s expression, looked in the same direction.
But he saw nothing.
However, shortly after a few breaths, he saw rolling, surging mist up ahead, acpanied by the sounds of thundering wind.
As the motion within the mist grew louder, Lu Quanzhen’s plexion drastically changed.
“Damn, that’s the Beast Taming Xu Family!”
Earlier, outside the secret realm, Lu Quanzhen had seen the motion of several Nascent Soul-level family forces arriving.
Among them, the Beast Taming Xu Family made quite a spectacle;a divine vessel pulled by nine Second Rank Wind-Thunder Steeds, traversing with thunderous momentum and overwhelming the skies—a truly formidable display.
The motion from afar was exactly like when the Xu Family had arrived at Purple Shadow Secret Realm!
Thus, Lu Quanzhen instantly realized that this was most likely the Beast Taming Xu Family ing to cause trouble for them!
“Why would the Beast Taming Xu Family e after us when I’ve destroyed every token, keepsake, and anything suspicious from the Xu family’s storage bags, throwing them off a cliff?”
“And I’ve even used a Second Rank Purification Talisman to inspect my whole body and found no trace of any marks!”
Lu Quanzhen was inwardly alarmed, utterly at a loss as to why the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family would track them down.
But in this moment, there was no time left to ponder.
The approaching figure of the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family was drawing ever nearer.
Pulled by the galloping Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steeds, a tsunami-like, terrifying spiritual pressure rolled in, churning mightily, making the air seem heavy and hard to breathe.
“Father, my brother and I have slain all of the Beast Taming Xu Family’s disciples in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm. This motion is most likely from the Beast Taming Xu Family—the Family Patriarch must be ing after us!”
Lu Quanzhen had an ugly look on his face as he conveyed this through a transmission to his father.
Under such circumstances, he naturally did not dare to hide anything from his father.
Lu Ping’an, too, watching the cloud-engulfed and thunderous Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steeds charge towards them, had a grave expression.
He hadn’t expected that they would attract the wrath of the False Core Patriarch of the Beast Taming Xu Family!
“Hmm, slain all of the Beast Taming Xu Family’s disciples!?”
Lu Changsheng was taken aback when he heard this.
He thought to himself, what a wild turn of events.
He had been wondering why this Family Patriarch from the Xu Family was rushing toward them with such a menacing air.
So it turned out that the Xu Family’s cultivators were all wiped out by his own sons, and now revenge was at hand!
“Father, this Family Patriarch from the Xu Family must have used some method to track down my brother and me, but you should be able to escape using talismans.”
Several talismans appeared from Lu Quanzhen’s sleeves as he spoke urgently.
Although rumors suggested that his father could slay False Core Immortals with talisman formations,
He knew those were messages spread by Golden Dragon Ridge, deliberately glorifying their family!
Therefore, facing the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family, he had not the slightest thought of resistance.
His first reaction was to scatter and escape with the use of talismans provided by Lu Changsheng.
Only in this way, there was a chance that all three of them would not die here.
He felt a pang of regret that Auntie Lu Miaoge wasn’t here.
Otherwise, his father and aunt working together might be able to contend with the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family.
