Chapter 241: Mountains and Waters Meet Again

There was chaos in Fenglin Manor. Liu Xiaolou had already understood that this was originally just a small manor, most likely Lu Yuanji's private residence. There was no Foundation Establishment expert sitting in charge, or perhaps there had been one, but they were not in the manor at this moment.

The one with the highest cultivation, at the Qi Perfection stage, Liu Xiaolou heard other cultivators in the manor call him "Yuanji" or "Deacon Lu." It should be Lu Yuanji himself, so the four brothers of Guzhang Mountain each held their shoulder poles and fought him fiercely. This was done with the intention of taking revenge.

You, Lu Yuanlang, killed my brother, so I will kill your brother. The logic was just that simple.

Longshan Sanren was facing one at Qi Refinement Stage 10, who was quite old. Lu Yuanji called him "Old Uncle." Although Sanren was already at the Perfection Realm, compared to the other party, he always felt a bit inferior when fighting. This was the difference between disciples of large sects and ordinary rogue cultivators; the master, the cultivation technique, and the magic treasures were all better than yours, so this result was very normal.

So Liu Xiaolou called for the old lame man and Qi Laoqi to help, which finally suppressed Lu Yuanji's Old Uncle.

Huang Ye Xian, at Qi Refinement Stage 9, was fighting one at Qi Refinement Stage 7 from Fenglin Manor. Although she had the upper hand, she couldn't take him down, which was also for the same reason.

Old Hu Du, on the other hand, was more stable. Bullying a Lu family disciple at Qi Refinement Stage 5, he defeated the other party miserably before long, and the other party finally turned and fled.

Old Hu Du laughed loudly and chased after him, but after chasing for a long time without catching him, he returned somewhat annoyed and ashamed: "This bastard doesn't know where he hid!"

Only the Lu family cultivator trapped by Liu Xiaolou's array plate, who was about at Qi Refinement Stage 6, was very easy to deal with. He didn't even need to sit cross-legged to urge it. With his hands behind his back, he was pinching the incantation to operate the array while watching the situation everywhere. Before long, when he withdrew the array plate, the person's face was already bright red, and he was unconscious, slumped on the spot.

Old Hu Du was stunned: "Is this how array masters fight?"

Fang Bu'ai, who had been rubbing his fists and wiping his palms on the side, stepped forward to search his body, found two spirit stones and a magic treasure, and then swung his sword down, killing this Lu family disciple on the spot.

From the moment Lu Yuanlang went up to Wulong Mountain to kill, it was destined that this would be a life-and-death struggle between the heroes of Wulong Mountain and Mount Tianmu. Thinking of Lu Yuanlang's calm and composed demeanor after killing, and the scene of him chatting and laughing with Elder Lu Boqi as they went down the mountain, all the people of Wulong Mountain felt a pain that went deep into their marrow.

Fang Bu'ai came to Huang Ye Xian's side, watched the battle for a moment, then suddenly drew his sword, and the whole person collided into it with the sword light, and bloodstains immediately appeared in many places on his body. Although he was injured, he successfully disrupted the opponent's rhythm. In the midst of the Lu family cultivator's panic, Huang Ye Xian inserted a silver hairpin into his throat, and he immediately died.

Liu Xiaolou freed his hands and had already arrived at the side of the four brothers of Guzhang Mountain, but it had been difficult to intervene. Just as he saw a good opportunity and wanted to fly out the Xuan Zhen Rope, Lu Yuanji suddenly fled. Risking a shoulder pole strike on his shoulder, he used the momentum to fly directly to the battle group of Longshan Sanren, rescued his Old Uncle who was trapped in a bitter fight, and fled outside Fenglin Gou.

The four brothers of Guzhang Mountain, Longshan Sanren, and others chased closely behind, but the moves they struck were all blocked by the Lu family's two magic treasures, and they couldn't do anything about it for a while.

After all, they were disciples of a high-status sect from Mount Tianmu at Qi Perfection and Qi Refinement Stage 10. Although they were defeated, their airs still didn't collapse, and frontal interception was difficult to be effective. Seeing them fleeing further and further away, Liu Xiaolou hurriedly recalled the four brothers of Guzhang Mountain and Longshan Sanren.

There was no time left; they had to guard against the arrival of experts from Mount Tianmu. As long as one Foundation Establishment expert came, the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse.

After waiting anxiously for a moment, flames soared into the sky in the manor, and Captain Hu led the team that was searching for wealth and goods and hurried out.

Seeing them carrying boxes of all sizes in their hands and bags on their backs, Liu Xiaolou immediately greeted everyone to withdraw, ran more than thirty miles in one breath, and then found a quiet place to count the harvest.

Not many spirit stones were found, but there were five large boxes of materials for refining spirit elixirs. These spirit materials were originally collected by Lu Yuanji and prepared to be sent up the mountain, but in the end, they all benefited the heroes of Wulong Mountain.

Everyone present was an expert in black-market goods. After a quick estimation, they had a price. Although everyone had different estimates for each type of material, the total price was about the same.

Captain Hu estimated the total price at seventy-five spirit stones, Longshan Sanren and Huang Ye Xian estimated it at eighty spirit stones, and Liu Xiaolou's own estimate was around seventy.

Li Busan looked at these spirit materials happily and couldn't figure it out: "If this were to be sold, it would really be a large sum of income. How dare he, in such a small manor, store so many good things? Why didn't he hurry up and hand them over to Mount Tianmu?"

Longshan Sanren taught his disciple: "These manors of theirs usually collect spirit materials slowly, trying their best to suppress the price. When the sect needs them, they hand them over in one go, and they can also report a good price and get a big benefit. So, don't look at the private residences of these famous large sects as inconspicuous; once the manor is broken, there is often a big harvest!"

Huang Ye Xian also smiled and pointed out on the side: "When I saw the illusion array protection, I knew this time it wouldn't be wrong!"

Li Busan nodded: "Understood, Teacher, so when striking, it's best to choose this kind of small manor?"

Longshan Sanren said: "That also depends on whether you have this strength. First, how to break the array? Second, what if there is a Foundation Establishment expert?"

Li Busan said: "But this small manor didn't have a Foundation Establishment expert."

Longshan Sanren said: "That's luck, or the timing was good. If there were a Foundation Establishment expert, you would have to fight for your life, or flee. In short, the leader must make a decision immediately."

Li Busan turned to ask Liu Xiaolou: "Uncle-Master, if there were a Foundation Establishment expert, how would you choose?"

Liu Xiaolou said: "If Senior Dai, Senior Zuo, and Senior Tan were also here, and our strength was strong enough, I would choose to fight hard. But right now, I would choose to let everyone flee, flee separately."

"In front of a Foundation Establishment expert, can we flee?"

"Most can flee, but some will be caught, or even die. Those who live will continue to struggle with the enemy and find ways to take revenge. This revenge can be taken for three years, five years, ten years. Thinking about revenge every day and biting off a piece of the enemy's flesh from time to time, you can always get revenge."

Next, they discussed the next steps. Taking advantage of the Danxia Cave Heaven Sword Trial Assembly, they caught Mount Tianmu off guard, but the news would soon spread back to Mount Tianmu. Even if the elders, Inner Sect disciples, and important deacons in the Danxia Cave Heaven didn't return, the manpower of Mount Tianmu left on the mountain alone was not something the heroes of Wulong Mountain could deal with.

Therefore, Liu Xiaolou's plan was to lie low.

They couldn't return to Wulong Mountain. Everyone would divide the spirit materials, disperse, find a quiet place to cultivate, and each would leave an address for Liu Xiaolou, waiting for Liu Xiaolou's next hero invitation.

The distribution method of these spirit materials was still distinguished by whether they wielded blades or not. For the hundreds of spirit materials, those who wielded blades chose two, and those who didn't chose one. After four rounds of such selection, the remaining dozen or so belonged to Liu Xiaolou as usual.

After choosing the spirit materials, one by one they said goodbye to Liu Xiaolou: "Mountains and waters meet again!"

"Take care!"

"Until we meet again!"

"Take care!"

"Waiting for your hero invitation!"

"Take care!"

"Don't let us wait too long, haha!"

"Take care..."

Everyone left from various directions and disappeared into the night. ===== CHAPTER 242 =====
