Chapter 116: Lu Changsheng, Do You Know What's Going On with My Sister?

Three days later.

Lu Changsheng rode the flying boat of the Second Elder, returning to Qingzhu Mountain from Julong Market.

This time, Lu Changsheng didn’t bring Xiao Qing along.

One reason was that Julong Market was currently safer compared to Qingzhu Mountain.

Another reason was that the flying boat was too crowded.

Not only was it packed with people, but there was also someone riding a steel-feathered eagle, accompanying the flying boat.

“Lu Changsheng, do you know what’s going on with my sister? I saw her last time, and I felt something was off.”

Lu Miaohuan was also on this flying boat and asked Lu Changsheng through voice transmission.

“What do you mean by ‘off’?”

Lu Changsheng heard this and asked calmly.

“I can’t quite put my finger on it, but after she got injured last time, something felt strange.”

Lu Miaohuan wrinkled her nose, unable to specify what was wrong.

But as her sister, she could sense the changes in her sister.

She curiously asked, “By the way, Lu Changsheng, how did you treat my sister’s injuries? I heard she was severely injured and on the brink of death.”

“I unintentionally obtained a Life-Saving Pill, and my cultivation skill helped with the healing process.”

“So I was barely able to stabilize her injuries.”

Lu Changsheng replied, his face calm and collected.

This was the unified explanation he and Lu Miaoge had agreed upon.

After all, he had been maintaining his 20-year-old appearance for a long time.

With so many wives and concubines, it was normal for him to choose a cultivation method that focused on nurturing life.

Lu Miaohuan didn’t think much of it after hearing his explanation.

She continued chatting with Lu Changsheng about daily matters, asking about the current situation of the Lu Family.

Lu Changsheng was idle and carefree, chatting with the Second Miss in a casual tone.

The flying boat was flying rapidly across the sky.

Just then, suddenly—

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

Four streams of light burst into the sky, tearing through the air, and shot towards them.

Three of the streams were about to intercept the flying boat.

One stream was heading straight for the steel-feathered eagle beside the flying boat.

“Not good!”

The Second Elder’s face changed drastically as he saw this, and he let out a loud shout.

He activated the flying boat’s defense array, producing a thick, yellow-brown light shield.

At the same time, he took out a small, blue triangular flag, which fluttered and emitted a faint, blue, wavy light shield that enveloped the flying boat.

“Ah!”

But the steel-feathered eagle, facing the streams of light, was unable to dodge and let out a mournful cry.

Blood splattered from its abdomen, and its wings flapped wildly.

This caused Lu Yuanhua, who was riding on its back, to change his expression.

The Second Elder’s hand grasped a jade bamboo cane, which swept Lu Yuanhua onto the flying boat, his face darkening as he shouted loudly.

“What kind of villain are you, daring to ambush me, Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family?”

His voice was cold and loud, filled with authority.

On this return journey, he had been on high alert.

And he had changed the original route, yet still encountered an ambush.

“Hmph, Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family, we are the one ambushing your Lu Family! Let’s end this quickly!”

Four masked figures appeared with flying magical weapons and said in a hoarse voice.

They directly controlled their magical weapons, casting a Talisman spell, attacking the flying boat.

“Yuanhua, you control the flying boat, and bring everyone back to Qingzhu Mountain quickly, I’ll handle this!”

The Second Elder quickly instructed Lu Family’s manager.

Then, he took out a flying magical weapon, jumped off the flying boat, and crushed a Talisman, transforming it into a golden light shield to protect his body, using his cane to intercept the four people.

“Alright!”

Lu Yuanhua didn’t say much upon hearing this.

He could see that these four robbers were well-prepared.

All of them had the strength of Qi Refining late stage.

While their side, except for the Second Elder, only had him, with a Qi Refining seventh stage.

The others only had Qi Refining middle stage strength.

In this situation, their side was clearly at a disadvantage.

“Be careful, Second Elder!”

Lu Yuanhua took control of the flying boat after receiving the instruction.

He immediately drove the flying boat, carrying everyone, and quickly flew towards Qingzhu Mountain.

“I’ll hold him off, you three get on the flying boat and quickly kill those Lu Family juniors, especially that Lu Family Talisman master!”

Among the four masked people, the leader’s voice was hoarse as he spoke.

He then rushed towards the Second Elder and said, “Lu Yun, I want to see how you’ll keep us behind!”

“Do you know who I am? Who sent you here?”

The Second Elder’s face turned gloomy, and he struck out with his blue jade cane, releasing a cyan-colored rainbow light, attempting to block the four people.

However, the masked person who spoke also clapped his hands, and a red bead appeared, emitting a fiery glow, which was followed by a strong gust of wind, trapping the Second Elder in flames.

The other three masked people saw this and one of them immediately summoned a flying boat.

The three of them then boarded the flying boat and chased after Lu Changsheng and the others.

“Damn it!”

The Second Elder saw this and knew that the other party had come prepared.

Their goal was to target the younger generation.

But at this moment, he was unable to protect everyone and could only watch as the other party chased after their flying boat.

“Are these four people the same ones who ambushed Sister Miaoge?”

Lu Changsheng thought back to what Lu Miaoge had said, that she was severely injured due to being ambushed by four cultivators.

And now, there were exactly four people in front of him.

Moreover, they seemed to be targeting the Lu Family, which made him think in this direction.

But regardless of whether it was these four people or not, the current situation was unfavorable for Lu Changsheng’s side.

There were seven people on the flying boat, and apart from Lu Yuanhua, who had achieved the Qi Refining Seventh Stage, the other Lu Family disciples were only at the middle stage of Qi Refining.

With over a thousand miles to Qingzhu Mountain, it would be difficult to return safely while being pursued by three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

The three masked people on the flying boat chased after them relentlessly.

Two of them controlled magical weapons, casting spells that struck the flying boat’s shield, causing it to gradually weaken.

This flying boat was just an ordinary one, used for traveling, and didn’t have strong defensive capabilities.

“This won’t do, if we continue like this, the flying boat won’t be able to hold out!”

“Miaofeng, Miaocheng, you guys take turns controlling the flying boat, I’ll lure one of them away!”

Seeing this situation, Lu Yuanhua’s face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said.

“Uncle Yuanhua, let me do it, I have the Talisman given by the Fourth Elder, and I can use it to escape later.”

Lu Changsheng also spoke up.

Right now, with so many people around, he couldn’t reveal his true abilities.

But once they were in a secluded area, he wouldn’t have to worry about that.

As long as he could lure one of them away, with Lu Yuanhua present, the crisis for the Lu Family would be resolved.

“No way, Changseng, you’re our Lu Family’s Talisman master, you absolutely can’t take risks!”

Lu Yuanhua heard this and immediately rejected the idea without hesitation.

“They clearly came prepared, targeting our Lu Family. If you leave, Uncle Yuanhua, it’ll be difficult for us to control the flying boat and return to Qingzhu Mountain.”

“Moreover, even if you lure one person away, we still can’t guarantee our safety against two Qi Refining late-stage cultivators.”

Lu Changsheng spoke quickly.

In his opinion, it was better to reveal his true strength now rather than trying to lure someone away.

“Uncle Yuanhua, Changseng is right, but Changseng, you can’t take risks. Let me go instead.”

At this time, Lu Miaocheng, who was standing aside, gritted his teeth and spoke up.

Lu Changsheng was speechless.

He was going out because he had confidence in his own abilities.

You going out would be a complete death sentence.

It’s likely that even luring someone away would be impossible.

However, Lu Miaocheng’s sudden offer made him look at him in a new light.

“Brother Cheng, if you go out, it’s a death sentence.”

“I’ve already broken through to the sixth stage of Qi Refining, and I have a flying magical weapon that allows me to fly for a short time. You don’t need to argue with me.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t bother to argue further.

He patted his storage bag, and a stack of Talisman appeared in his hand, with around fifty to sixty talismans.

He handed half of them to Lu Miaohuan beside him, saying, “Miss, take these Talisman’s for self-defense.”

After finishing, he activated a Golden Light Shield Talisman and a Wind Talisman, and then jumped out of the flying boat.

“Changseng!”

“Lu Changsheng!”

“Changseng, come back quickly!”

Lu Yuanhua, Lu Miaohuan, and the others saw this scene and were shocked, not expecting Lu Changsheng to be so decisive. They shouted loudly.

“Don’t waste time, let’s go!”

Lu Changsheng stood firmly on the round wheel magical weapon, his blue robe fluttering, his body surrounded by a golden light. He didn’t look back and shouted loudly.

Then, he activated over ten Talisman, transforming into wind blades, cold winds, fire clouds, and vines, rolling towards the pursuing flying boat.

Since he was going to lure someone away, he naturally had to attract some hatred.

Otherwise, the opponent wouldn’t send someone to chase him, which would be quite embarrassing.

Hearing Lu Changsheng’s words and seeing his actions, Lu Yuanhua, Lu Miaocheng, Lu Miaohuan, and the others were all moved to speechlessness.

They only felt that Lu Changsheng’s figure was gradually growing taller before their eyes.

Especially Lu Miaohuan, who looked at Lu Changsheng’s tall and straight back with the talisman in his hand, and felt a lump in her throat.

Who would have thought that Lu Changsheng, who was usually gentle and timid, would be so brave and willing to sacrifice himself at this critical moment.

Moreover, before this, he had even given half of the life-saving Talisman to his companions.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Yuanhua saw Lu Changsheng’s actions and knew that they couldn’t hesitate anymore.

They had to hurry back and seek help.

With all their might, they drove the flying boat towards Qingzhu Mountain to escape.

In their hearts, they could only hope that Lu Changsheng, relying on the Talisman, could escape.

“Lu Changsheng? There was a road to heaven but you didn’t take it, instead, you’re jumping into the abyss!”

“Little did you know, our main target was you all along!”

The three people chasing on the flying boat saw Lu Changsheng voluntarily jump off and provoke them, and their faces lit up with excitement.

Their main mission was to intercept and kill Lu Changsheng, the Lu Family’s Talisman master.

Only then would they deal with the other Lu Family disciples.

Now, seeing Lu Changsheng jump off the flying boat and provoke them, they were overjoyed.

“Let’s kill him!”

The masked person launched a fierce attack with the Talisman, and then drove the flying boat to chase after Lu Changsheng.

“Oh no, they’re directly pursuing Lu Changsheng!”

Lu Miaohuan saw this scene and immediately changed her expression, shouting.

If one person was chasing Lu Changsheng, Lu Changsheng might still have a chance to escape with the Talisman.

But now, with three people directly giving up on chasing them and instead pursuing Lu Changsheng, it was a death sentence for Lu Changsheng.

“Their main target is Changsheng, the Talisman master.”

“It must be the Chen Family; only the Chen Family would target us like this!”

Lu Yuanhua looked in the direction Lu Changsheng was escaping, his face was extremely ugly and he gritted his teeth.

But in this situation, they couldn’t help at all.

Even if he went to help now, it would be sending himself to death.

Lu Changsheng’s entire body was filled with spiritual energy, driving the flying magical weapons like a flowing light, swiftly escaping towards the mountain range below.

After all, being in the air made one a living target, too conspicuous.

In this desolate mountain range, it was even more suitable for killing and burying bodies.

“Hmm? They’ve all come after me?”

“Are they targeting me, or is my priority higher than the others?”

Lu Changsheng looked back at the flying boat behind him, slightly surprised.

He didn’t expect the three assassins to give up on chasing the others and come after him instead.

“But this is also good; it’s more convenient to settle this.”

Lu Changsheng’s heart was extremely calm.

“How did this kid fly so fast?”

“He had used the talismans, and used his spiritual power to activate magical weapons. It won’t be long before his spiritual power is exhausted!”

“He must have a life-saving talisman on him. We can’t let him escape!”

The three masked men saw this and put away their flying boats.

They quickly mounted their flying magical weapons, grasped their spiritual seals, and accelerated to chase after Lu Changsheng.

Before long, Lu Changsheng entered the mountain range and slowed down.

“Hey, kid, why did you stop?”

“You’re quite bold, risking your life to distract us for others.”

“I heard you’re just a son-in-law of the Lu Family, but I didn’t expect you to be so loyal to the Lu Family, sacrificing yourself for others.”

The three men saw Lu Changsheng slowing down and quickly surrounded him, teasing him.

In their eyes, Lu Changsheng was already a turtle in a jar, unable to escape.

They didn’t hurry to kill Lu Changsheng.

“Ah, I didn’t expect you to think so highly of me, sending all of you to chase me down.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the three men, his face filled with bitter resentment, and let out a sigh.

He then asked, “Before I die, can you answer a question for me? Was it you who orchestrated the ambush on Lu Miaoge?”

“Lu Miaoge, you mean that little girl from the Lu Family, right? Yes, it was us who did it.”

One of the masked men directly replied.

“It was our boss’s Black Extermination Slash that almost killed her, but she didn’t die. I heard it was you who saved her. How did you do it?”

“It’s not hard, considering your talismanic abilities. If you’re willing to surrender, we might spare your life.”

The other two men chimed in.

“How did I do it? It’s simple, because…”

Lu Changsheng’s face was filled with a bitter smile as he spoke, but before he could finish, his eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he raised his hand.

A seven-colored light burst forth from his fingertips, and a sharp sword aura shot out, heading straight for the person in front of him.

“Ah no!”

The three men were shocked in that instant.

The person attacked by the sword aura was even more terrified, his heart racing wildly.

Before he could react, a blood hole appeared on his forehead and his consciousness disappeared.

He then fell from his flying magical weapon with a thud.

“Do you know the reason now?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the other two men, who were shocked and terrified.

However, just as he finished speaking, two even larger Seven Stars Sword Lights burst forth, emitting a chilling aura that sent shivers down their spines.

The two of them immediately raised their protective aura, activating their magical weapons, wanting to block the attack.

But their protective aura was like paper in front of the Seven Stars Sword Light, instantly shattering and piercing through.

“Ah! No!”

One of them had his brain pierced through, and the other had his head chopped off. They both died instantly and fell to the ground with a plop.

“I didn’t realize my power had reached this level.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the three corpses in front of him, his heart as calm as still water, but with a hint of excitement and joy.

After all, this was the first time he had killed without relying on Talisman or Talismanic treasures.

He had relied solely on his own strength.

Of course, the amplification of the Xuan Yuan Bead was also part of his own strength.

“Using the Seven Stars Sword Light to kill also has an advantage – it won’t damage the opponent’s magical weapons.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He then stored the three magical weapons in his storage bag.

Three fireballs ignited, burning the three corpses to ashes, simply cleaning up the battlefield, before quickly departing.

He then found a mountain cave and began to clean out the three storage bags.

“Hmm? Could it be that these people were backed by the Green Lake Mountain Yu Family?”

Lu Changsheng cleaned out the storage bags, finding a token from the Green Lake Mountain Yu Family, his eyes narrowing slightly.

“Was it really the Green Lake Mountain Yu Family, or was it another power trying to frame them?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He felt that the possibility of framing was not high.

But he also felt that if the Green Lake Mountain Yu Family had sent people to take action, they wouldn’t have brought such a token.

Moreover, this token couldn’t prove that they were from the Yu Family, only that they had a connection to the Yu Family.

Without thinking much, Lu Changsheng destroyed the token.

After all, such a token might have a tracking mark.

And it was useless to him anyway.

He couldn’t take a few tokens and go to the Yu Family to seek justice.

In the cultivation world, seeking justice wasn’t about right or wrong.

It was about strength, and evidence wasn’t needed.

A moment later.

Lu Changsheng had cleaned out the three storage bags.

He had obtained a total of 867 spirit stones.

Four high-grade magical weapons.

Six medium-grade magical weapons.

A flying boat.

And some pills.

A few Talismans.

A few Spirit medicines.

And then some miscellaneous materials.

“This batch of spirit stones and magical weapons is a bit lacking, but the biggest gain this time is this flying boat.”

“This flying boat is worth at least one or two thousand spirit stones.”

“However, if it’s the Yu Family’s people, then this flying boat can’t be easily revealed, and it’s best to get rid of it.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself after cleaning up the items.

Looking at his own spotless and immaculate robe, Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, and then deliberately made a few tears in the robe he had worn for five or six years.

After all, he had barely escaped from the hands of three Qi Refining late-stage cultivators, and this spotless appearance was a bit too unrealistic.

“I’ll go back in three or four days. If I go back now, it’ll be hard to explain.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He planned to add some battle damage marks to his clothes when he got back.

Then Lu Changsheng began to meditate, recovering his spiritual energy.

He had just used his full strength to activate the flying magical weapons and release three Seven Stars Sword Lights, which had consumed a considerable amount of energy.

It had directly consumed half of his spiritual energy.

If not for the support of the Xuan Yuan Bead, he wouldn’t have consumed so much spiritual energy in his daily life.
