Chapter 144: Heading to Huaqian

Lu Wan Yuan hurried into the house, took a piece of cloth on the desk, and the maid beside her hurriedly ground the ink. She took the brush, dipped it, and wrote furiously.

"Hearing that the High Ancestor has passed away, Rong is extremely fearful and worried. The family has lost its support and is afraid that it will be difficult to protect the two mountains of Huaqian and Tiaoyun. I ask my clan brother to move the whole clan eastward, toward Xunlin Plain or the county, and offer the two mountains to the Li family. Leave quickly at dawn, and you may still be able to preserve the family business."

"If you hesitate and repeat, disaster will befall you at dawn or dusk, and it will be too late to regret!"

The brush in her hand paused. Lu Wan Yuan looked at the tear stains on the face of the maid who had accompanied her in marriage and said with a trembling voice:

"The two families still have marital ties at this moment. If my clan brother can say some good words and offer both mountains, perhaps he can still maintain some dignity and preserve the family business. If blood is shed between the two families, it will be a matter of exterminating the whole clan..."

Putting down the brush and rolling up the letter quickly, Lu Wan Yuan walked quickly out of the courtyard, but bumped into someone, causing her to stagger and be unable to speak.

That person was dressed in white, with his hair tied up, standing quietly in the courtyard. The jade pendant on his body jingled in the wind. His eyebrows were clear, and he looked at her gently. It seemed he had been standing in front of the courtyard for a long time.

"Husband."

Lu Wan Yuan called out in a strained voice. Li Xuanling responded with a "hmm," reached out, and said in a low voice:

"Bring it here for me to see."

Lu Wan Yuan handed over the letter, knelt on the ground with a thud, and choked with sobs:

"Husband! Please give the Lu family a way to survive! Those clan brothers and sisters of mine are all people who love to play and enjoy themselves. If the whole family goes to the county, they will never be able to accomplish anything again. They really cannot pose any threat. Please let them go..."

Li Xuanling finished reading the letter, sighed slightly, and said warmly:

Returning the letter to Lu Wan Yuan's hand, Li Xuanling took her hand and continued:

"Moreover, with your clan brother's nature, even if you point out a way to live for him, he won't know how to take it, and he will just crash into a dead end. How can we talk about giving him a way to live?"

Lu Wan Yuan burst into tears and said in a low voice:

"The Lu family is arrogant and extravagant, not knowing how to restrain themselves, bullying others and acting recklessly. Wan Yuan had long since given up on them, but I was born into the Lu family, which is an indelible mark after all. How can I sit idly by?"

Having said that, she was already in tears. Lu Wan Yuan said softly:

"I was thinking... I was thinking, if the two families become blood enemies and the whole clan is slaughtered, how should our children conduct themselves in the future! Husband must also consider the future..."

Li Xuanling paused slightly when he heard this, looked at her twice, and then said:

"I have a sense of proportion in this matter. You can rest assured."

Watching Li Xuanling leave the courtyard in a hurry, Lu Wan Yuan placed the letter on the table. The maid on the side hurriedly said:

"Madam, should this letter still be sent?"

"No need."

Lu Wan Yuan shook her head sorrowfully and said in a low voice:

"How can the strength of humans and animals be as fast as a Qi Refining cultivator? There is no need to send this letter, and let my clan brother stay first, no need to go back."

————

Li Xuanling left the courtyard and hurried up the mountain. He walked up the stone steps for a while and saw Li Xuanfeng and Li Tongya standing in front of the courtyard, not knowing what they were discussing.

"Brother Feng, didn't you go to the county to forge a magic tool?"

Li Xuanling asked suspiciously. Seeing Li Xuanfeng shake his head slightly, he smiled:

"I passed by the Lu family's territory and saw white clothes all over the mountain and under the mountain. I'm afraid Lu Sisi has passed away. Thinking it was a great opportunity, I came back first."

Li Xuanling couldn't help but laugh or cry, shook his head and said:

"I'm really afraid that others won't know! What exactly is Lu Yuanlu thinking! The Lu family sent someone to notify Wan Yuan, and I also got the news here, so I hurriedly came up to report to Father."

Li Tongya nodded slightly when he heard this and said in a low voice:

"Taking advantage of the fact that the Yu family hasn't reacted, solve the Lu family quickly. If we wait for the Yu family to intervene, there will be more trouble. Xuansuan has already gone down to reorganize the clan soldiers. Let's go a step ahead."

Li Xuanfeng and Li Xuanling responded in a low voice. Li Xuanling went down the mountain to find Li Xuansuan, while Li Xuanfeng and Li Tongya, two Qi Refining cultivators, rode the wind and headed toward Huaqian Mountain.

After flying for only a mile, Li Xuanfeng hesitated for a breath and said:

"The Lu family has more than two thousand people, both direct and collateral, and their marital ties involve tens of thousands of people. If this is not handled well, it will be a troublesome matter!"

Li Tongya was also pondering. Hearing this, he nodded and said:

"It is indeed a difficult matter. This is the first time my Li family has annexed another clan. It is to set an example for future generations. If we just kill them all, firstly, it would be a waste of this spiritual aperture bloodline, and secondly, after all, they are marital relatives. It would be unpleasant to spread the word, and it would make the surrounding families unhappy."

"This matter of the Lu family needs to be done decently and beautifully, and at the same time, it must have no future troubles, which makes people feel embarrassed."

The two flew for a while, and Huaqian Mountain appeared before their eyes. Below, there were scattered small houses, all hung with white cloth and silk, while on the mountain, there was the sound of banquets and music, which was quite ironic.

The Lu family's Tiaoyun Mountain had steep terrain, heavy humidity, and many mosquitoes. Since obtaining this Huaqian Mountain, the Lu family had moved the whole clan here. Now, most of the population was at the foot of Huaqian Mountain.

The formation on Huaqian Mountain was quite ordinary. Li Tongya waited until starlit firelight appeared on the other side of the mountain, knowing that Li Xuansuan had already brought troops to arrive, and then drew his sword to slash at the formation on the mountain.

"Clang!"

The formation on Huaqian Mountain immediately rose, shining brightly and shrouding Huaqian Mountain. The banquet below was immediately in chaos. People all looked up, only to hear a loud shout:

"Who dares to offend my Lu family!"

Lu Yuanlu rode the wind and rose, his cheeks slightly red, looking like he had been drinking. Seeing Li Tongya, he was both shocked and angry, and cursed:

"Since the Li family has become marital relatives with the Lu family, why do you come to hit the idea of my Huaqian Mountain!"

Li Tongya gave a cold smile, his hand movements did not stop, and he said coldly:

"Lu Sisi has just passed away, and you, an unfilial descendant, are actually feasting on the mountain. You still have the face to talk about marital relatives. The Lu family's current strength can no longer protect the two mountains. If you are sensible, open this formation yourself, and you can still save your life."

"So arrogant!"

Lu Yuanlu was furious when he heard this, his eyes red with anger. He drew his sword and met him. Li Tongya forced him back with one sword. Within a few breaths, they went back and forth for more than ten rounds, beating Lu Yuanlu until his expression changed slightly and he had the intention to retreat.

"What a good swordsmanship!"

Although Lu Yuanlu was arrogant and conceited, he had some skills in his hands, on par with Yu Mujian, but his cultivation was far too inferior. For a time, he retreated repeatedly, but he still spoke tough words.

Li Tongya remained silent. After dozens of moves back and forth, he knocked the sword in his hand away and rode the wind to press forward. Lu Yuanlu's expression changed drastically, and he still wanted to say something, but white light had already erupted before his eyes, and he was beheaded by Li Tongya with one sword. ===== CHAPTER 145 =====
