Chapter 64

The dust settled, and seeing that Zhao Yongcheng had been smashed to pieces, the few of them revealed smiles of relief.

Their great revenge was finally avenged; they had killed this existence they could only look up to back then, and the resentment accumulated over many years dissipated in an instant.

"Let's go back!"

Lu Chengtong said.

They looked at each other and then smiled knowingly.

At Yanliu Mountain, the four of them gathered again.

"What are Miss Zhao's plans?"

Lu Chengtong asked.

Zhao Shanyue looked at Chen Sanqing and said with a smile:

"I will continue to improve my Sword Dao, and one day, I will defeat you!"

She still remembered clearly the scene where Chen Sanqing defeated her at the exchange meeting back then.

As a sword cultivator, constantly challenging stronger sword cultivators was the goal they always pursued.

Chen Sanqing looked at her earnestly and said:

"I will wait for your challenge, but you will have no chance to defeat me."

Jia Gusheng shook his head and smiled upon seeing this:

"You can call me when you spar; I'll be the referee."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lu Chengtong and asked:

"What are Brother Lu's plans?"

Lu Chengtong smiled shyly and said:

"Naturally, it is to spread the branches and leaves for the Lu family and make the family prosperous again. If there is a chance in the future, we will meet again. Everyone, take care!"

They went their separate ways, and Lu Chengtong had his clone continue to act as Lu Chengyao.

For Chen Sanqing and the others, they could indeed let go completely.

But Lu Chengtong could not.

He still had one last batch of enemies to clear out.

That group of assassins from the Piaoxue Tower.

Although those people were just taking money to do a job and acting as tools when they attacked the Lu family members.

But as people with subjective judgment, they were the direct murderers and must pay the price for it.

Those who are assassins must have the awareness of being killed!

Possessing the 【Round Light Manifestation】 supernatural power, it was not difficult for Lu Chengtong to find these assassins.

First, determine the whereabouts of each murdered Lu family member, and then follow the clues to find them.

It was nothing more than spending more time and consuming more divine soul power.

After years of preparation, he had already confirmed all twenty-two Piaoxue Tower assassins.

These people were almost all under his surveillance.

Of the twenty-two people, four had died over the years, leaving eighteen.

Among them were four Qi Refining late-stage, eight Foundation Establishment mid-stage, five Foundation Establishment late-stage, and one Foundation Establishment perfection.

He hadn't moved against them before for fear of alerting the enemy, but now that he had decided to act, he would use thunderous force to wipe them out.

His clone and true self acted together, and one month later, Lu Chengtong had killed all eighteen.

He also obtained the essence blood of one of them, codenamed 'Insect Master', a cultivator whose cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment late-stage.

He obtained his memories.

He had used his supernatural power to strip the memories of all eighteen people, obtaining quite a bit of information about the Piaoxue Tower.

The reason he couldn't trigger the array at the inn where Hou Zhao teleported away was that the array didn't recognize the aura on him when he had the 'Blood Origin Pill'.

The Blood Origin Pill was the pill that Xie Yue had given to Hou Zhao that day; it was said to be refined from living people combined with a certain secret technique, and eating it could significantly increase one's cultivation.

Lu Chengtong also acquired this aura after obtaining that person's essence blood.

Therefore, he could act directly using this identity.

The revenge for the Lu family's extermination had been fully avenged, but there was still one person Lu Chengtong felt he needed to be responsible for.

Hou Zhao had joined the Piaoxue Tower to avenge Lu Chengqin and became an assassin.

Although there was no formal title, in a sense, Hou Zhao was already his brother-in-law.

He had even used him to help himself kill people; no matter what, he should look after him.

The best result would be for him to leave the Piaoxue Tower, but he currently had no way to remove the effects of the 'Blood Origin Pill', so Hou Zhao could not leave yet.

In order to take care of him and to gain a deeper understanding of the Piaoxue Tower organization, Lu Chengtong decided to maintain the identity of 'Insect Master'.

In any case, for him, the difficulty of the tasks a Foundation Establishment assassin needed to perform each year was very low, and they could be completed in a very short time.

After checking the items in Zhao Yongcheng's storage bag, Lu Chengtong discovered the 【Gu Insect Secret Technique】 and the Ice Flame Fruit.

It was perfect; he could make the assassin identity of Insect Master even more powerful.

Refining the Ice-Fire Demon Insect required preparing many things, but for Lu Chengtong, who possessed the resources of several Golden Core cultivators, this was not a difficult task at all.

It took one month to gather all the materials. He chose a demonic insect called the 'Black Stone Beetle' as the material, spent eleven days raising ten powerful Black Stone Gu, and then used these ten Black Stone Gu as raw materials, combined with various precious materials, including that Ice Flame Fruit, to cultivate an Ice-Fire Demon Insect.

It took a total of more than four months!

Ice-Fire Demon Insect is a general term; as long as one has mastered the Ice-Fire Flowing Poison, one can use this title.

But according to the characteristics of the Gu insect itself, different traits would be derived.

For example, the Ice-Fire Demon Insect that Lu Chengtong cultivated possessed the penetration characteristic of the Black Stone Beetle; under high-speed flight, it could directly and forcefully penetrate even the spiritual power shield of a Golden Core mid-stage cultivator.

Thereby attacking the target's true body.

After the Ice-Fire Demon Insect was refined, Lu Chengtong once had a sudden whim to use the 【Fractal Phantom】 supernatural power on it, but he found that he could not make it work on it.

This supernatural power could only be used on oneself.

But he subsequently experimented and found that the Treasure Mirror could release this supernatural power on the Gu insect.

Moreover, because the Gu insect's body size was small and its total energy content was low, after casting this supernatural power, the number of fractal bodies produced reached as many as twenty-two, and they all possessed the Ice-Fire Flowing Poison!

This meant that he could use this supernatural power to let the Ice-Fire Demon Insect launch an almost blind-spot-free attack on the target.

With twenty-two Gu insects, as long as one bit the target, it would be enough to kill a Golden Core cultivator or cause them to lose their combat ability.

In the process of researching Gu techniques, Lu Chengtong also discovered that the 'Five Fragrances Body' constitution he acquired from Yan Jiaojiao also had a very high affinity for Gu insects, which was of no small help to him in mastering more Gu insects.

Spring passed and autumn came, and ten years of time passed in a hurry.

In the year 378 of the Supernatural Era, Lu Chengtong's first grandson was born, possessing dual Fire and Wood Spirit Roots, and was named Lu Tongzuo.

Lu Chengtong had ten children, seven boys and three girls, all of whom had Spirit Roots, but their quality was not high; the best one was a three-Spirit Root of superior Wood attribute.

After these children entered the Qi Refining realm, Lu Chengtong bestowed upon them supernatural power seeds and told them about being members of the Lu family.

The so-called 'Cheng' and 'Guan' surnames were all to cover people's eyes.

He gave each of them a genealogy and let them cultivate their own children downward.

Qi Refining realm cultivators are the most suitable for carrying on the family line.

Pregnancy is relatively easy, though it will delay some cultivation time, and there may be offspring without Spirit Roots.

This is not a problem; as long as they give birth to more, they will certainly be able to obtain a batch of children with good bones.

This year is a good year; not only was the first grandson born, but Lu Chengtong's identity, Lu Chengyao, was about to form his Golden Core!

Everything was prepared, and it would happen today.
