Chapter 7

Among the hundreds of figures, there were actually only eight true fractals, and the rest were phantoms.

But with the combined attack power of the sword art activated by Lu Mingzhang, it was enough to kill this peak Foundation Establishment demonic beast.

For a time, all the Lu family members fell into silence.

They knew that the Lu family's strongest was this current Lu family Patriarch, Lu Mingzhang, who had the highest talent of the "Ming" generation.

But they only knew that he was a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, just one small realm higher than the other three Foundation Establishment True Persons existing in the family.

But who would have thought that his strength was actually so fierce!

That scene of sky-filling figures, countless sword lights, and killing a peak Foundation Establishment demonic beast in one strike was deeply imprinted in the heart of every clansman.

Lu Mingyun was the first to see that Lu Mingzhang was already at the end of his strength, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Lu Mingzhang nodded and said:

"I'm fine, I just need to rest; clean up as soon as possible, there should still be things that can be used from the demonic beast's body, don't waste it."

His tone was a bit dull, showing that his mood was very bad.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had such a divine ability to protect himself, the Lu family's business might have been destroyed by this evil beast, and he didn't know how many of his beloved relatives and friends would have died or been injured.

He remembered the golden light he saw at the beginning, and he could almost be sure that the Huoquelin's impact on the Lu family's spirit field was caused by humans.

In the more than one hundred years of the Lu family's development, they had never been at odds with others, and even their power had always been controlled within Wenxi County; they had been so friendly to their neighbors, yet they were still harmed by such vicious means.

Such a great hatred must be avenged!

Lu Mingzhang adjusted his breath for half an hour, and after recovering some spirit, he summoned the other three Foundation Establishment True Persons of the Lu family to hold a meeting.

After everyone sat down, he said bluntly:

"Someone harmed my family. That demonic beast, I don't know how it was lured here; originally, Mingyun and I discovered it and didn't enrage it, but a golden light suddenly impacted the Huoquelin's eye, which led to the subsequent battle.

In this battle, if it weren't for the few means passed down by the ancestor, my family might have been exterminated.

This hatred is huge and must be avenged!"

Lu Mingyu, the youngest among the four but looking the oldest, blew his beard and stared upon hearing this, saying:

"Someone actually harmed my family! This must be investigated clearly!"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth.

In the battle just now, he faced the Huoquelin's impact head-on; if it weren't for Lu Mingzhang standing up and showing great power to kill the demonic beast, the first Foundation Establishment True Person of the Lu family to die would have been him.

Not to mention, behind him were a group of wives and children.

How could he not be angry at such deep hatred?

Lu Mingbin, the oldest, said:

"My family has never actively been at odds with others; if there is any grudge, it is likely that competition has appeared in the Spirit Rice business.

The Spirit Rice business is mostly hosted by me; in my opinion, this crisis is mostly done by people under the jurisdiction of the Jinfeng Immortal Sect on the side of the Red Mist Mountain Range."

Chanyun Mountain belongs to a branch of the Red Mist Mountain Range, and the Red Mist Mountain Range is the boundary between the Ziyao Immortal Sect and the Jinfeng Immortal Sect.

That is to say, the Lu family is located at the boundary of the two sect forces.

In recent years, the Lu family's Spirit Rice business has become increasingly popular, especially after the purple crystal rice was listed, which greatly affected other immortal clans doing Spirit Rice business.

The Ziyao Immortal Sect is not good at Spirit Farming; most of the Spirit Rice is purchased from the sect forces next door.

The Lu family's rise squeezed out those people's business.

It is also very reasonable to lead to today's disaster.

Lu Mingyun rarely communicated with the outside world and didn't have much worldly wisdom, so she said:

"As righteous sect cultivators, they actually did such a lowly thing as luring demonic beasts to destroy a clan; it is truly shameful!"

Lu Mingzhang said:

"Precisely because they are righteous cultivators, they would do this; if they were demonic cultivators, they would have come directly to the door.

Although we have no evidence now, this is indeed the greatest possibility.

In the next period of time, pay attention to the danger from the west.

Mingyu, you go and inform Deacon Yang Dong of the Ziyao Immortal Sect and ask him to request instructions from the Immortal Sect on our behalf.

Even if it is determined that it was done by people from the Jinfeng Immortal Sect, we cannot act without authorization."

Although the two Lu family descendants who joined the Ziyao Immortal Sect had also reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they only became Inner Disciples and did not obtain positions.

So in such matters, the Lu family still had to report to Yang Dong.

Yang Dong had received quite a few offerings from the Lu family over the years, and coupled with his friendship with Lu Yuantu, he could be considered half an ally.

The matter was arranged, and soon there was a result.

Yang Dong was quite concerned about the Lu family.

Not to mention the Lu family's offerings, just the two descendants sent to the sect now had the potential to form a pill.

This was something to befriend.

He himself had no hope of forming a Golden Core and didn't have many days to live, yet he still worked hard to manage this relationship for the sake of the descendants in the clan.

After receiving the report, the Ziyao Immortal Sect ordered the Law Enforcement Hall to investigate the matter thoroughly.

But this matter itself left no evidence, and the Ziyao Immortal Sect had no "retrospection" spells, so they investigated twice without finding any clues.

The final result was that the Immortal Sect strengthened patrols in the Red Mist Mountain Range, and the Lu family had to admit their bad luck.

Having obtained the judgment, the Lu family true cultivators held a meeting again.

"Are we just going to let it go this time?"

Lu Mingyu asked indignantly.

"The Immortal Sect has given instructions; on the surface, we indeed cannot continue to inquire about this matter, and there is no good way."

Lu Mingzhang said in a deep voice.

"It's truly hateful; if we had a method to trace karma, we could find the person behind the scenes."

Lu Mingyun was also angry and said.

Lu Mingbin said:

"I can continue to send people to secretly inquire about news, and by the way, search for related spells, but the hope will not be great.

The other party did this matter quite tightly, and we indeed have difficulty determining the crime. Righteousness emphasizes righteousness; without a reasonable name, if we act too excessively, we will instead cause trouble."

"Let this matter go. Everyone, be vigilant from now on; they didn't succeed this time, maybe they will attack again."

Lu Mingzhang finally made a conclusion.

Since there was no way to determine the person behind the scenes, everything was just in vain.

It was better to devote all energy to strengthening oneself; as long as one was strong enough, any conspiracy would be useless.

Of course, he didn't swallow this breath either.

It was just that he was looking for a suitable opportunity to release it.

After this disaster, the Lu family had no more disasters; for several decades, the weather was smooth, and they developed steadily.

Benefiting from the bumper harvest of Spirit Rice, they could earn a large amount of Spirit Stones every year.

Lu Mingzhang adopted an active development strategy, sparing no expense to buy a large amount of pills to assist the clansmen in cultivation; in just over ten years, four more true cultivators appeared in the Lu family.

It seemed to be influenced by the family's fortune; in the 164th year of the Divine Ability Era, the Lu family gave birth to a child named "Lu Xinju," with water and wood dual spirit roots, and the quality of both spirit roots reached the superior grade; his talent was very good, and he was hailed as the Lu family's Qilin child.

The Lu family's prosperity was already unstoppable!

180th year of the Divine Ability Era, in the spirit field, in the newly built bamboo house, in the same location, different people, same expression.

Lu Mingzhang stared closely at the mirror surface.

Finally, a line of text appeared on the mirror surface.
