Chapter 1039: Chapter 367: There are 3,000,000 Sword Cultivators in the world, but they must all lower their brows when they see me._3
The remaining two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, seeing this, dared not hesitate and quickly transformed into escape lights to flee, fearing another golden arrow would be shot at them.
Although they had a purpose for this trip,
their main goal was still wealth, and they couldnât possibly sacrifice their lives here.
Seeing the remaining two in a panic-stricken flight, Lu Pingâan let out a long breath and put away the Dark Gold Bow.
The arrow he had just shot had been the condensation of the âThunderstorm Ringâ Technique and Magical Powers mastered from Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family.
It endowed his attack with the force of wind and lightning!
This was his first time using it in real combat, and its power proved quite effective.
Not only could he fend off the enemy, but he also didnât need to reveal his own strength.
âBig brother?â
Lu Qingsong was still dumbfounded as he looked at his elder brother.
To be within White Tiger Mountain, yet a single arrow shot from such a distance had killed a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
He simply couldnât comprehend such strength.
âBefore my breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, I encountered some serendipity;
my Body Refinement has already broken through to the Second Level, so my strength is a bit stronger than an average Foundation Establishment Cultivator,â
Lu Pingâan said gently to his younger brother as he smiled and explained.
âSecond Level Body Refinement?â
âStronger than an average Foundation Establishment Cultivator by several points?â
Lu Qingsong, upon hearing such words, didnât know what to say for a moment.
He understood Second Level Body Refinement.
But he couldnât grasp how one arrow could kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
After all, being only slightly stronger than another Cultivator, it would be quite difficult to kill them, let alone instantly.
Even though his older brotherâs arrow just now had an element of surprise, such strength couldnât simply be explained by being âseveral points stronger.â
Lu Qingsong didnât continue to press Lu Pingâan for details but took a deep breath, nodded and said, âGood, with you, big brother, holding down White Tiger Mountain, I can rest easy in the future.â
At this moment, he understood why their father had assigned his older brother to hold down White Tiger Mountain.
Because their father had always been clear about Lu Pingâanâs strength, with him there, White Tiger Mountain could indeed rest easy!
âBig brother, Iâll go handle the situation.â
Lu Qingsong continued, quickly stepping forward to manage the situation at the mountain gate.
He didnât explain whether it was him or someone else who had acted just now.
The unknown is fearsome, incalculable might!
Often, the unknown methods are more daunting.
He had the Nine Netherhound bring back the outside bodies of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, took their magic artifacts and Storage Bags, then with a cold and authoritative air, ordered one person, âHang this corpse outside the mountain gate, and tell others that if any Robber Cultivator dares to attack White Tiger Mountain, they will meet the same fate!â
âYes, Mountain Master!â
White Tiger Mountain had not only the Cultivators from the Zhao Family of yesteryears, but also those from Tie Mulim Mo Family and the Ning Family of Xi Mountain.
The incident just now had filled them all with dread.
The two Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators had been able to sense a trace of Foundation Establishment Mana from the arrow.
These people were merely Energy Refining Cultivators.
They couldnât be certain whether it was someoneâs direct action or some treasure involved.
And with no Foundation Establishment Cultivator sitting in White Tiger Mountain, with Mountain Master Lu Qingsong having just disappeared, they speculated that Lu Qingsong must possess some Exotic Treasure.
After all, Lu Qingsongâs father, Lu Changsheng, was considered a legendary figure.
He dared to have a son in the Qi Refinement Realm hold down and control White Tiger Mountain, how could he possibly not provide him with an ace up his sleeve!
âŠ
News of the events at White Tiger Mountain spread to the surrounding Family Forces the next day.
Everyone who heard this news was utterly shocked.
Indeed, to kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a single arrow was terrifying!
Who wouldnât be fearful upon hearing of such means!
Several families friendly with Bi Lake Mountain and White Tiger Mountain even sent people under the guise of a visit to check the situation at White Tiger Mountain.
When they saw the headless corpse hanging outside the mountain gate and confirmed it was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they were all internally shaken.
They conjectured wildly about what sort of methods Lu Changsheng had hidden in White Tiger Mountain.
Meanwhile, at Jinlong Ridge Jin Family,
âQuite the White Tiger Mountain, quite the Lu Changsheng, truly well hidden!â
The Patriarch of Jin Family looked at the information in his hand, his expression slightly condensed.
Those three Robber Cultivators that appeared on White Tiger Mountain last night obviously didnât go there for no reason to plunder.
It was he who wanted to test Bi Lake Mountain, had someone issue a bounty task, provided Prohibition-Breaking Talismans and Forbidden Technique Artifacts, that resulted in three Robber Cultivators willing to make a move against White Tiger Mountain.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Robber Cultivators wouldnât expend great cost to forcefully attack a certain family.
Unless that family possessed some kind of fortuitous treasure, and lacked a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in charge.
The Patriarch of Jin Family didnât hesitate and went straight to report this news to the Elder Ancestor of his family.
âŠ
At Bi Lake Mountain,
âThree Robber Cultivators, killed by a single arrow.â
Lu Changsheng looked at the information coming from White Tiger Mountain and chuckled.
Others might not know what happened, but he as the father was crystal clear.
After all, the means Lu Pingâan used were all given to him by his father.
âWith Pingâan holding down White Tiger Mountain, unless a False Core took action, there shouldnât be any danger.â
Lu Changsheng exhaled softly.
However, even though that was what he said, after such an incident at White Tiger Mountain, he still made a trip outside to check on the situation.
Moreover, this sudden attack by three Robber Cultivators also made him speculate whether it had something to do with other powers.
Especially since the Demon Subjugation Order had just concluded, it would be unlikely for any Robber Cultivators to show up and cause trouble at this time.
âŠ
In Yue Country, Jinyang Sect,
âQing Shan, how confident are you in this journey to Heavenly Sword Sect to ask for a sword duel?â
Tianyuan True Immortal, dressed in a grand red robe, her figure voluptuous and charming, took a delicate sip from the wine gourd in her hand, her face slightly flushed and lazily said.
Back when the Purple Shadow Secret Realm ended, Lu Qingshan promised Yujian Zhenren of the Heavenly Sword Sect to visit for a sword duel within ten years.
Now, with only one year left of the decade-long promise, she was preparing to send Lu Qingshan to the Heavenly Sword Sect for the duel.
Lu Qingshan, with a handsome face and piercing eyes, listened to his masterâs words, his expression serene and confidently said, âAmong the three million sword cultivators in the world, all must lower their gazes upon seeing me.â
.â
Tianyuan True Immortal was speechless upon hearing her discipleâs words.
After a while, she finally spoke, âSay these words in front of me if you like, but if you speak them at the Heavenly Sword Sect, I wonât be able to protect you.â
âHeh Heh, isnât this just showing that Iâm confident and assured?â
Lu Qingshan smiled and replied.
âWhile itâs a sword duel, Yujian Zhenren intends to use you to hone his sectâs disciples. When we get to the Heavenly Sword Sect, keep the actual dueling separate and remember to be somewhat mindful
Tianyuan True Immortal spoke earnestly, revealing a bit of a serious expression as she instructed her disciple.
This trip to the Heavenly Sword Sect was a great chance for her disciple to be tempered.
But she knew well the nature of her discipleâreckless to the extreme.
And the sword cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect wouldnât be much different.
If this disciple gave no face to the Heavenly Sword Sectâs disciples during the duels, it could easily cause trouble.
âDonât worry, Master. I understand. Friendship first, dueling second.â
Lu Qingshan might be proud, but he wasnât foolish and comprehended what was at stake.
His trip to the Heavenly Sword Sect was primarily for sparring and exchange, so of course, he had to keep the hostâs dignity in mind.
If the sparring ended up insulting the hosts, it would be tantamount to slapping the face of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and things wouldnât end well after.
Even if the Heavenly Sword Sect didnât say anything outright, it would still be like making a formidable enemy.
âSince you understand, I wonât say much more.â
Tianyuan True Immortal nodded, instructing Lu Qingshan to say his goodbyes to Lu Qingzhu before heading to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
However, Lu Qingshan suggested that since his sister was bored alone in the sect, it would be better to go together to broaden her horizons.
Hearing this, Tianyuan True Immortal said it was fine as long as Lu Qingzhu was willing and subsequently took the siblings to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
