Chapter 98: The Lu Family Ancestor is Dying, Taking Advantage of the Crisis

At this very moment, inside the Lu Family estate.

Many Lu Family Elders gathered together, filled with worry.

"How is it? How is the Ancestor's condition?"

One Elder asked.

"The Ancestor can only hold on for three months. In fact, if the Ancestor hadn't been doing it for us, I fear they would have passed long ago and wouldn't have lasted until now."

"But even so, it has now reached the Ancestor's limit."

"Longevity exhausted; this is the Heavenly Dao, which human power cannot obstruct."

Another Great Elder, Lu He, said helplessly.

He also wanted their Ancestor to continue living, but unfortunately, the Heavens did not think so.

"What does the Young Sect Master say? When will the rescue from the Xianxia Sect arrive?"

A white-haired Elder asked.

"The Young Sect Master says the main sect's rescue is about to arrive, and we must hold on for a little longer."

Elder Lu Ming said with a strange expression.

"To hell with your 'about to arrive'."

That white-haired Elder was so angry he cursed aloud: "It's been over two years already. Before, they said the main sect's rescue was coming soon, but now we haven't even seen a shadow. Two years after two years; I fear no one will come until the end of time."

"I think it's clear the Xianxia Sect has abandoned this woman, and abandoned our Miyun City; otherwise, there wouldn't be no Xianxia Sect Cultivators coming here even now."

He was practically furious to the point of death.

More than two years ago, the Lu Family believed the nonsense of that Young Sect Master, Leng Yuexi, who said a Golden Core Real Person from the Xianxia Sect was about to take action, unleash a thunderous strike, and sweep away the demons and monsters.

But who could have imagined that not even a shadow of a Xianxia Sect Golden Core Real Person would be seen.

Until now, Miyun City has remained fighting alone, resisting the Youmo Sect army by itself.

"Great Elder, I once heard a piece of news revealed by a Xianxia Sect Cultivator, which is that Leng Yuexi was struck by a strange poison from a Youmo Sect Cultivator, damaging her foundation, and she is basically hopeless of advancing to Golden Core."

"And it is perhaps because of this news that the Xianxia Sect chose to abandon Miyun City."

"After all, dispatching a large army to Miyun City to battle the Youmo Sect just to save a Cultivator with no future..."

"Even if the other party is the Sect Master's daughter, it is a loss that outweighs the gain."

"Once they fail, the Xianxia Sect's orthodoxy would likely be wiped out."

Elder Lu Ming said mysteriously, revealing the news he had gathered.

"What? Such important news, why didn't you say it sooner? You're only saying it now?"

Hearing this, many Lu Family Elders' expressions changed drastically; they had never expected such a turn of events regarding Leng Yuexi.

No wonder, even though she is a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator.

The threat she posed to them did not seem as great as they had imagined.

For the past two years or more, this woman had been in a state of seclusion and basically paid no attention to the affairs of Miyun City.

They had previously thought this woman intended to advance to Golden Core, but they didn't expect she was actually purging poison.

"Great Elder, I only heard this news through the grapevine; I don't have one hundred percent certainty."

"It is only at this time that I dare to speak a word or two; otherwise, it would be shaking the morale of the troops."

"Moreover, the Youmo Sect are not good people either; who doesn't know that for Demonic Sect Cultivators, breaking promises is a common occurrence."

"Anyone who dares to believe a demonic cultivator's promise is just tired of living."

Elder Lu Ming felt he was being wronged.

After all, he felt this news might not even be true and just listened to it as a curious anecdote.

Who could have thought it would actually be true.

"Forget it, forget it. Lu Ming didn't do it on purpose. Now is the critical moment of life and death for our Lu Family; everyone, do not have internal strife. The most important thing now is how to preserve the sparks of the Lu Family."

Great Elder Lu He said in a deep voice.

"Fortunately, we sent the Lu Family's Foundation Establishment seeds away earlier, along with a Fine Foundation Establishment Pill. Even if we die, our Lu Family will still have a chance to rise again in the future."

A Lu Family Elder said with relief.

Previously, to avoid the Lu Family being wiped out, when they auctioned the Fine Foundation Establishment Pill, they immediately and quietly sent that Lu Family Foundation Establishment seedling away.

In this way, even if the Lu Family in Miyun City was destroyed, there would be other Lu Families elsewhere capable of rising.

"Elder, although that is how it is said, I still don't want to die."

Elder Lu Ming said gloomily.

According to the previous measures, there are still Lu Family Disciples outside, so the Lu Family will not be exterminated.

The problem is, these people here are dead for sure.

If they could still live, who would want to die?

The other Elders were silent; they had the same thought.

"Actually, I have already spoken with the Ancestor. Since the Xianxia Sect cannot be relied upon, we can only rely on ourselves."

Great Elder Lu He said in a deep voice: "Although the Ancestor only has three months of longevity left, they still have one last breath remaining and can still unleash one final attack."

"With this attack, they will take several Youmo Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivators with them. At that time, our Lu Family disciples can take advantage of the chaos to escape Miyun City and break out of the Youmo Sect's encirclement."

What?!

Once these words were spoken, the many Elders were greatly invigorated. If the Ancestor personally took action, then with the Ancestor as the vanguard, they might still have a glimmer of survival.

It is just that after this battle, the Ancestor will undoubtedly die.

However, thinking about it carefully, even without this incident, the Ancestor would still have their longevity exhausted.

It is better to burst forth with brilliant light at the final moment of life.

This is also the thought of the Lu Family Ancestor, Lu Hongran.

"Alright, the plan is roughly like this."

Great Elder Lu He said: "However, only you Elders should know about this matter; do not tell anyone else, lest you alert the enemy. After all, there are quite a few demonic cultivator moles within Miyun City. If those demonic cultivators were to find out about this, then the Lu Family's only path to survival would be gone. Everyone must be careful."

"Yes, Great Elder."

The many Lu Family Elders all nodded in unison.

…………

At this moment, Zhou Sui, who was lurking in the shadows, also perceived the content of this meeting.

Although these Elders were very cautious, they did not know that someone in the dark had spied on the content of this conversation.

"The Lu Family Ancestor is about to die?"

"And they are actually going to break through the encirclement?!"

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin, feeling very surprised, because according to the current situation, holding out for a year or a year and a half would not be a problem.

He had originally thought that he would need to lurk for a very long time.

But now it seems he had overestimated the strength of the Lu Family.

If the Lu Family Ancestor were still alive, perhaps they could still hold on.

But once the Lu Family's Foundation Establishment Ancestor dies, then it is absolutely impossible to continue holding out.

Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the time while the Ancestor still has strength to seize the opportunity to break out of the encirclement.

In this way, it would still allow a portion of the Lu Family to survive, so they would not be completely wiped out.

"If that is the case, then I need to make preparations in advance."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Clearly, if the Lu Family Ancestor dies, basically no one in the Lu Family will be able to stop him.

By then, wouldn't the many Treasures of the Lu Family all belong to him?!

However, this matter still needs careful consideration; he must not capsize in the gutter.

It is also about time to repay the Lu Family for their enmity.
