Chapter 794: Five Elements Royal Family, Third-Order Puppet!

“The Core Formation Old Ancestor of the Xu Family has shattered the mountain gate of the Five Elements Royal Family?”

Lu Changsheng was shocked when he heard this news.

This was definitely a major event!

It must be understood that in the Cultivation World, every power valued face.

Just like him with Golden Dragon Ridge.

What seemed like a small matter, a conflict with the Great Elder of the Jin Family.

But in the eyes of the Jin Family and others, it was as if Golden Dragon Ridge’s face had been slapped, and they must regain their standing!

The reason the Jin Family hadn’t made a move against Bihu Lake Mountain was simply due to inadequate strength.

If the Jin Family produced another False Core Immortal and had enough strength, they would certainly attack Bihu Lake Mountain immediately!

And shattering someone else’s mountain gate was even more severe.

It was outright face-slapping, trampling the opponent’s family underfoot!

The Beast Taming Xu Family and the Five Elements Royal Family were both Nascent Soul-level powers, standing tall in Jiang Country for a thousand years, their might astonishing, considered behemoths, with few daring to provoke them.

Now that the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family had actually shattered the mountain gate of the Wang Family, it definitely qualified as a major event!

“Rumor has it that all disciples of the Beast Taming Xu Family died in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, and their False Core Patriarch was killed on the way back.”

“This has enraged the Beast Taming Xu Family, and the Core Formation Old Ancestor has emerged from seclusion.”

“After investigation, the Beast Taming Xu Family declared that the Five Elements Royal Family was behind this, so the Xu Family’s Patriarch personally went to demand an explanation.”

Lu Miaoyun poured tea for Lu Changsheng as she spoke.

“Because of the incident in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm?”

Lu Changsheng was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

Others might not understand what was going on, but he was well aware.

In total, the Beast Taming Xu Family had ten disciples;

besides one who met with an accident and died, the other nine were killed by his own two sons.

And the Xu Family’s False Core Patriarch was killed by him.

How could the Beast Taming Xu Family blame this on the Five Elements Royal Family?

“Well, there’s also a rumor that the Beast Taming Xu Family couldn’t determine who was responsible, so they used this to leverage authority over the Five Elements Royal Family.”

Lu Miaoyun continued.

“Using the Five Elements Royal Family to establish authority? The Beast Taming Xu Family seems a bit overbearing, don’t they?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, feeling it unreasonable.

Even if the Five Elements Royal Family wasn’t as deeply-rooted as the Beast Taming Xu Family, they were still a Nascent Soul-level power with a Nascent Soul Immortal in charge.

Facing such huge disgrace as having their mountain gate destroyed, how could they swallow this insult!

If the Wang Family couldn’t regain their standing, for the next decades or even a century, others would remember that the Wang Family had their mountain gate shattered by the Beast Taming Xu Family.

Hence, to establish authority, they wouldn’t stop at nothing with the Wang Family, which seemed unreasonable to Lu Changsheng;

there must be other reasons.

“Could it be possible that the Xu Family really believes the Wang Family killed their False Core Patriarch?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

“Husband, do you remember the Beast Tide from fifteen years ago?”

Lu Miaoyun spoke softly.

“Of course, I remember.”

Lu Changsheng sipped his tea and nodded.

That year’s Demon Beast Tide was a once-in-hundreds-of-years event.

Not only was the Spirit Taming Sect severely damaged, losing two Nascent Soul Immortals and a third-order Demon Beast, but the Azure Phoenix Immortal City was also nearly breached.

And the Xiahou Wuwo he had killed had also participated in that Demon Beast Tide, so he remembered it very clearly.

“There were rumors before that the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family was seriously injured during the Beast Tide, his condition unknown;

there were also rumors that bad news concerning the Xu Family was circulating.”

“This incident in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm was seen by the Xu Family as targeted and probing by other powers, hence the Xu Family had to respond strongly.”

“However, opinions on this matter are divided, and there even were rumors pointing fingers at the Four Great Immortal Sects, but the Xu Family couldn’t possibly confront the Four Great Immortal Sects to lay accusations, so after choosing from equal-level powers, they targeted the weakest among them, the Wang Family.”

Lu Miaoyun came behind Lu Changsheng, massaging his shoulders as she spoke.

The matter between the Xu Family and the Wang Family had been causing quite a stir recently.

And she, knowing of her husband’s affair with Xu Ruyin, thus sought to learn more about this incident.

“Good heavens, this can also be seen as a serendipitous mistake…”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat speechless, not expecting his casually executed actions to make the Xu Family suspect the Four Great Immortal Sects.

But upon reflection, it made sense.

Aside from the Four Great Immortal Sects, what other force had the capability to target the Xu Family.

He continued to inquire, “Then what is the Wang Family’s attitude in this matter?”

“Rumor has it that when the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family went to the Five Elements Royal Family this time, not only did he bring his third-order Spirit Beast—the Earth Dragon Beast—but also a third-rank Xuan Turtle and eight hundred Fire Crow Dao Soldiers.”

“Ancestor Wang of the Wang Family can only counterbalance the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family by depending on the family’s Great Formation.”

“If Ancestor Wang were to leave the family Great Formation, he could possibly be suppressed by the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family, so the Wang Family can only swallow this silent loss, causing the reputation of the Beast Taming Xu Family to surge remarkably.”

On Lu Miaoyun’s ethereal face, there was full of emotion.

Even though she knew her own family had already far surpassed many surrounding family forces.

But hearing of the formidable strength of the Beast Taming Xu Family still sent a shiver through her heart.

Two third-order Spirit Beasts, and Dao Soldiers only bred by top-tier powers!

Such a lineup could normally far surpass a Nascent Soul Immortal.

“Wow, this lineup really is luxurious;

with this, it seems the Wang Family is completely blocked by the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng also couldn’t help but be moved.

He thought to himself that the Beast Taming Xu Family really was strong and overbearing.

A Nascent Soul Immortal, equipped with two third-order Demon Beasts and eight hundred Dao Soldiers, was likely unmatched in the Core Formation realm!

And the fact that the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family dared such an expedition probably meant there were unknown third-order Spirit Beasts guarding their home!

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t take such a risk.

“It seems the Five Elements Royal Family really is in decline.”

“If they can’t bring forth a leader to turn the tide, I’m afraid it will be difficult for the Five Elements Royal Family to maintain their reputation.”
