Chapter 150: The Clan Leader Takes Action

"Uh!"

Xia Daoming's answer made Lu Renwei and the others feel very surprised and unexpected.

They thought that Xia Daoming, as an outsider, was forced into this dispute because of the camaraderie among fellow disciples, and now that he had a chance to get away, he would definitely be eager to do so.

As a result, they didn't expect this guy to say he respected Lu Ziying's choice!

How could they know? For these twenty-five days, this guy had made a fortune down there.

If Lu Ziying insisted on continuing to enter the mine to be tempered, he would naturally be happy to accompany her!

"We listen to Miss Ziying!" While everyone was stunned, the three of Lu Ye expressed their stance.

They naturally were the same as Lu Ziying, willing to continue staying down there.

The three of Lu Renwei were stunned again.

In the mine, the most hardworking were these Martial Masters, and the ones with the highest casualty rate were also these Martial Masters.

Logically speaking, they should be eager not to enter the mine again.

Even on the Lu Clan's side, there had already been deserters among the Martial Masters.

As a result, the three of Lu Ye were different; they actually volunteered!

"Eh, I remember you seem to be a seventh-rank Great Wu Shi, and you actually broke through too!" Soon, Lu Renwei looked at Lu Ye, his face revealing a trace of surprise.

"Life-and-death struggle is the best way for a martial artist to cultivate!" Lu Ye replied concisely, his fat face actually giving people a feeling of firmness and iron-bloodedness.

"You have such a heart for martial arts, no wonder you were able to break through!" Lu Renwei's eyes showed appreciation, and he praised him, then didn't pay much more attention to him.

After all, it was only a breakthrough from seventh-rank to eighth-rank, not a breakthrough to the Grandmaster realm!

However, if Lu Renwei knew that more than a month ago, Lu Ye was only a sixth-rank Great Wu Shi, he would probably pay more attention to him and look at him with different eyes.

Because jumping two ranks in just over a month—this is definitely a seedling for a Grandmaster!

"Since Ziying's will is firm, I think it might not be a bad thing! But the clan must equip her with two magic treasures for offense and defense, so that she has stronger combat power and self-protection ability."

"Hmm, she is now a core disciple of the clan, so she should also be equipped with a storage bag." Soon, Lu Renwei looked at Lu Ziying and made a decision.

"What? Two magic treasures for offense and defense! And a storage bag!" Lu Junshan's eyes widened on the spot.

He, a dignified sixth-layer Qi Refining cultivator, only had one offensive magic treasure on hand, and for this offensive magic treasure, the clan only subsidized a portion of the spirit stones, and most of the spirit stones were paid for by himself and his family behind him.

Now, Lu Ziying, a disciple of a small branch, was actually equipped with two magic treasures for offense and defense by the clan for free, and there was also a storage bag. Is there any justice in this?

Compared to Lu Junshan's loss of composure, Lu Ziying appeared very calm.

Isn't it just magic treasures and a storage bag?

I have them!

And as long as I am allowed to continue staying in the mine, I will definitely capture more!

"No wonder she could break through one after another at a young age! Just this calm state of mind is not something Junshan can compare to!" Seeing Lu Ziying remain calm in the face of such a huge and generous reward from the clan, this time even Lu Weijin couldn't help but praise her, and he felt a trace of dissatisfaction with his nephew who was shouting.

"I!" Lu Junshan's face flushed red, and he wished he could roar at the sky.

"Junshan really can't compare to Ziying, he should learn more from her!" Lu Renwei nodded.

"Elder is right, Junshan accepts the teaching. I just don't know how much Ziying has gained after being down there for so many days?" Lu Junshan forced down the anger in his heart, first cupped his hands toward Lu Renwei, and then turned to ask Lu Ziying.

Lu Junshan's words made the three elders of Lu Renwei stunned, and they subconsciously looked up at Lu Ziying and the others.

Just now, their attention was attracted by the safe return and breakthrough of Lu Ziying and the others, and they really forgot about this matter.

At this look, the three elders were stunned.

They saw that all five people had empty hands, and the three Martial Masters of Lu Zhen did not have baskets on their backs.

"Having stayed down there for more than twenty days, being able to break through and come back safely is already very good. As for the harvest of ore, it's good if there is, and it's not..." Soon, Lu Sanxia said.

However, before Lu Sanxia finished her words, Lu Ziying had already taken out a storage bag from her arms.

"Storage bag!" The three elders were stunned again, and Lu Junshan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Three elders, please take a look!"

While the three elders were stunned, a ripple appeared at the mouth of the storage bag, a ray of light lit up slightly, flashed by, and two baskets full of Dark Ice Stone ore and a small bag of Dark Dark Ice Stone appeared on the ground.

"So much!" This time, even the three elders were greatly moved.

Seeing the three elders greatly moved, Lu Ye and the others standing behind secretly curled their lips.

This is just what we dug up, and there is more that we snatched!

"Good, good! Lu Ziying, you really opened my eyes. This time, your contribution will definitely be recorded for you, and you can go to the Luyuan Pavilion to exchange for what you need." Soon, Lu Renwei said.

"Elder, since Lu Ziying has a storage bag, to prevent embezzlement, according to the rules, shouldn't we ask the elder to personally..." Lu Junshan saw this and said unwillingly.

"Junshan, shut up!" Before Lu Junshan finished his words, Lu Weijin had already reprimanded him in a deep voice.

Now he really found this nephew more and more unpleasant to look at.

He doesn't even use his brain!

If Lu Ziying really wanted to embezzle, with Lu Renwei and Lu Sanxia's appreciation for her, she wouldn't even have to take out the storage bag!

Moreover, the harvest of so many Dark Ice Stones and Dark Dark Ice Stones had already far exceeded their imagination. How could there be any private stash in the storage bag? Do you really think Dark Ice Stones and Dark Dark Ice Stones can be picked up everywhere?

Lu Renwei and Lu Sanxia both looked at Lu Junshan with dissatisfaction, then nodded to Lu Ziying and Xia Daoming and said: "Ziying, Grandmaster Xia, you have worked hard this time. Go back to Jin Guifeng and rest for a few days! I will report your affairs and contributions to the Clan Leader!"

"Then we will take our leave!"

Xia Daoming and Lu Ziying cupped their hands to say goodbye, took Lu Ye and the other three to leave Cold Star Valley, and went all the way to Jin Guifeng.

——

Green Dragon Peak, in that ancient house on the Dragon Head Rock that is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.

Yan Qingxian, dressed in white, looked at his nephew who was holding a steaming heart in one hand, burying his head in a feast, his mouth full of blood. His face was gloomy and ugly, and he no longer had his usual honest, kind, and elegant temperament.

"I am preparing to send Yan Jiheng and others to take action." Yan Qingxian said in a deep voice.

"Are you going to send a tenth-rank Grandmaster so soon? Didn't Uncle say to increase the manpower step by step, slowly suck the people of the Lu Clan in, and then launch a sudden attack?"

"Actually, I think this is quite good. Whether it's the people of the Lu Clan or the Yan Clan who die in the mine, the fetal heart I am sacrificing at the eye of the Dark Yin Earth Vein can be nourished by qi and blood and continue to grow."

The big-headed man finally stopped eating when he heard this, and while sucking his blood-stained hands, he raised a pair of blood-red eyes to look at Yan Qingxian.

"During this period, the number of people our Yan Clan has lost has increased significantly, and even Yan Yongzhu should have already been lost inside. It is estimated that the Lu Clan has already secretly sent powerful figures into the mine."

"Since this is the case, we must change our strategy. Therefore, the big conflict between the two families should break out soon. At that time, I will contain Lu Jinglong, and you will take the opportunity to kill and harvest the lives of the Lu Clan disciples..."

Yan Qingxian's voice sounded low in the ancient house, and a chain of conspiracy plans was continuously revealed from his mouth.

The big-headed man's pair of blood-colored eyes flickered continuously, revealing a thick bloodthirsty killing intent.

——

Xia Daoming and his group soon returned to Jin Guifeng.

Not long after returning to Jin Guifeng, Clan Leader Lu Jinglong personally summoned Xia Daoming and Lu Ziying.

Lu Jinglong still had the demeanor of a clan leader. He first thanked Xia Daoming well, and specially gifted a bag of spiritual rice and a few elixirs to replenish qi and blood, and then ordered someone to send him back to Lingyun Hut to rest, while Lu Ziying was specially kept by him until very late before returning to Lingyun Hut.

The next day, Lu Ye was in high spirits, with a heroic demeanor of a big man, and Lu Huiyun was holding his arm, looking happy and bird-like.

Xia Daoming asked Lu Ziying to go to the clan to get a map to the Tianqing Market on the west side of Ten Thousand Snails Xianshan, and after giving some instructions to Lu Ziying and the others, he set off and left Jin Guifeng.

Ten Thousand Snails Xianshan is divided into four cultivation areas: east, south, west, and north.

Among them, the conditions in the south are slightly worse, with more loose cultivators. The conditions in the east are the best, divided by several relatively powerful Foundation Establishment forces, while the west is similar to the north where the Lu Clan is located.

Last time, at the Shi Zhu Forest Market, Xia Daoming basically bought all the elixirs suitable for Grandmasters to take.

And at the Shi Zhu Forest Market, Xia Daoming also didn't see any elixirs or spiritual medicines for enlightenment for sale.

Therefore, Xia Daoming planned to go to the Tianqing Immortal Market on the west side of Ten Thousand Snails Xianshan this time, and incidentally, he was also prepared to deal with the large amount of resources he had accumulated on hand.

These things included those from the Yan Clan, those snatched by the Yan Clan from the Lu Clan disciples, and of course, Dark Dark Ice Stones. If these resources were sold in small quantities at the Shi Zhu Forest Market, there would be no problem, but if sold in large quantities, it would probably attract unnecessary trouble.

And if sold at the Tianqing Immortal Market in the west, there should be no such problem.

After Xia Daoming left Jin Guifeng, Lu Huiyun and Lu Zhen soon got the opportunity to enter the Lu Clan's Martial Treasury Pavilion to observe the Grandmaster's secret maps.

Lu Ziying went to the Lu Clan's Yuxiu Pavilion to observe the secret maps and listen to the teaching elder personally teach the Dao.

Only Lu Ye was left alone, staying at Lingyun Hut with a subtle and complicated mood.

If Huiyun really becomes a Grandmaster, what should I do? ——

Not long after Xia Daoming left.

The tense and tragic situation in Cold Star Valley suddenly intensified.

Many Lu Clan disciples never came out after entering the mine.

The fighting between the two sides became more and more intense, and sometimes the fighting between the two sides developed from underground to the ground of the valley.

Late-stage Qi Refining cultivators also began to get involved.

Cold Star Valley completely became a meat grinder for the two major Qi Refining families.

The Lu Clan was forced into a corner and asked the Yan Clan for negotiations, but the Yan Clan refused unless the Lu Clan completely gave up Cold Star Valley.

The Lu Clan was forced to a dead end and could not retreat, so they could only continue to grit their teeth and keep investing manpower, trying to force peace through war.

It's just that the Lu Clan didn't know that the Yan Clan's true ambition was not only to take the opportunity to destroy the Lu Clan and annex their territory and resources, but also to use the qi and blood of a large number of people to sacrifice and nourish the Fetal Heart Blood Pill, helping a Yan Clan disciple become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

To kill two birds with one stone!

Therefore, their plan was destined to fail.

This day.

Lu Jinglong stood alone on the cliff, looking at the direction of Cold Star Valley, his mood was extremely heavy.

The Yan Clan's overbearingness and determination were beyond his expectations.

Foundation Establishment! Everything is for Foundation Establishment!

Lu Jinglong sighed deeply.

"Clan Leader, Yan Qingxian has left Green Dragon Peak!" Suddenly, a figure ran over and knelt on one knee to report.
