Chapter 1073 -379: The Azure Phoenix Immortal is Seriously Injured Again! _2

Because overseeing the cutting of Spirit Vein requires a protector.

And Ling Zixiao, being proficient in Formation Path, is very suitable for this task.

It was only after Lu Changsheng stepped out of Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven and returned to the Lu Family Mansion that he realized this breakthrough took him half a year.

Shortly after he entered closed-door cultivation, an incident involving Lu Ping’an occurred at White Tiger Mountain.

“Since the ceremony has already been prepared, we might as well send out the invitations right now.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately responded, not minding that Lu Ping’an’s cultivation level had been revealed.

Even without this incident, he was planning to hold a Foundation Establishment ceremony for Lu Ping’an in the next two years.

Afterwards, Lu Changsheng inquired if there were other matters at home.

Lu Miaoyun indicated that there was nothing significant at home, but news from Azure Phoenix Immortal City reported that Azure Phoenix Immortal had been severely injured again.

“Severely injured again

Lu Changsheng was somewhat speechless.

He had heard news of Azure Phoenix Immortal’s severe injuries three or four times already.

Each time, the news was proven to be false.

“This time, chances are high that it’s true.”

“There are rumors that a False Core Immortal in Azure Phoenix Immortal City was killed, and Azure Phoenix Immortal did not intervene.”

“Afterwards, some forces tested the waters by attacking numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Azure Phoenix Immortal City, and yet Azure Phoenix Immortal still did not step in to stabilize the situation.”

“Now, the entire Azure Phoenix Immortal City’s security has been affected, causing panic among the people, and many cultivators are leaving the city.”

Lu Miaoyun stated.

“A False Core Immortal and several Foundation Establishment Cultivators were killed

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng was somewhat astonished.

Such casualties were indeed severe, amounting to blatant provocation!

Back when a False Core Patriarch of the Xu Family was slain, Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family directly went to the Five Elements Royal Family to assert power.

Now something akin is happening in Azure Phoenix Immortal City, but Azure Phoenix Immortal has not come forward to calm the populace, clearly indicating a problem.

If Azure Phoenix Immortal continues to lay low, and this matter is completely confirmed, the flow of people in Azure Phoenix Immortal City will certainly decline rapidly.

After all, apart from its environmental advantages, the reason why Azure Phoenix Immortal City has become a sanctuary for independent cultivators is also inseparable from the formidable reputation of Azure Phoenix Immortal, Jiang Kingdom’s Number One Independent Cultivator!

“Well, it’s difficult to verify the authenticity of this news, but it is true that there are security issues in Azure Phoenix Immortal City.”

“Rumor has it that robber cultivators are rampant around Azure Phoenix Immortal City, and even armed conflicts have erupted in the outer city

Lu Miaoyun voiced.

Though Azure Phoenix Immortal City is very far from Bi Lake Mountain and wouldn’t affect this region.

But such matters signal potential unrest in Jiang Country Cultivation Realm.

“Is there any news from Feiyu’s side?”

Lu Changsheng thought of his friend who was working in Azure Phoenix Immortal City.

He had kept in touch with Li Feiyu over the years, with the latter frequently sending him Spiritual Materials via Green Cloud Spirit Ship.

Given the current situation in Azure Phoenix Immortal City, he estimated that it might affect his friend.

“No.”

Lu Miaoyun shook her head, indicating that she hadn’t received any related correspondence from Li Feiyu.

“If such a thing really occurred in Azure Phoenix Immortal City, even if Feiyu knew, he wouldn’t dare to mention it in a letter

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, contemplative.

With such an incident in Azure Phoenix Immortal City, many forces would certainly be watching closely.

Even the city’s mail might be intercepted by other forces.

Someone like Li Feiyu, who holds an important position in Azure Phoenix Immortal City, is especially a subject of attention.

After pondering for a moment, he wrote a letter, advising Li Feiyu to be extra cautious and to consider returning for a visit if the city became unstable.

“However, knowing Feiyu’s character, even if problems truly arise in Azure Phoenix Immortal City, he is unlikely to flee immediately

Lu Changsheng shook his head, musing inwardly.

He felt that his good brother would probably only consider fleeing if Azure Phoenix Immortal City completely fell apart.

….

Golden Dragon Ridge, Jin Family.

“Although Lu Ping’an is formidable, as long as our ancestor makes a move, he will surely be able to slay him.”

“Right, with Lu Ping’an dead, the Lu Family’s ceremony would turn into a funeral, and Lu Changsheng would surely be immensely grieved.”

“Even if we can’t kill Lu Ping’an, crippling him would also disgust the Lu Family for decades.”

In the Jin Family conference hall, several high-level members heard about the Foundation Establishment ceremony at Bi Lake Mountain and planned to intercept Lu Ping’an on his way from White Tiger Mountain to Bi Lake Mountain.

Families like theirs fear nothing more than lack of continuity and successors.

Many family forces see a generational gap not because there hasn’t been a Foundation Establishment prospect in decades.

But because such prospects perish prematurely.

“This isn’t appropriate. If something happens to Lu Ping’an at this time, Bi Lake Mountain will surely suspect our family.”

“Although we aren’t afraid of them, with our Great Elder currently attempting to break through to False Core in the Immortal City, there’s no need to take this risk.”

“Just wait for the Great Elder’s successful breakthrough;

no matter what Lu and his wife do, they’ll be no match for our Jin Family.”

Among the high-level members of the Jin Family, one shook his head and said,

“Indeed, Lu Changsheng is not simple. Even his son in the Qi Refinement Realm possesses a Talisman Treasure. That Lu Ping’an surely has life-saving resources at his disposal. If he isn’t eliminated, it will be very troublesome.”

Another high-ranking member of the Jin Family spoke up.

Over the years, they had been closely monitoring the situation at Bi Lake Mountain.

They strongly suspected that the opportunity obtained by Lu Changsheng was extraordinary, possibly the entire legacy of a Nascent Soul Immortal!

Otherwise, even if Lu Changsheng was a Second-order Top-level Talisman Master and Second-order Alchemist with a booming family puppet business, it would not be possible for him to possess such an array of wealth and treasures!

“Let’s wait for the breakthrough of the Great Elder before discussing this further. Moreover, the news about Lu Ping’an and Lu Qingshan has already reached the Beast Taming Xu Family.”

“That Xu Family Elder who didn’t act against Lu Changsheng and his wife back then would definitely not sit idle seeing the current situation at Bi Lake Mountain, and it’s highly likely they will take action against the Lu Family.”

Hearing these words, the Patriarch of the Jin Family pondered for a long time before finally deciding.

Their Jin Family was at a critical moment right now.

As long as the Great Elder Jin Zan successfully makes his breakthrough, the family’s deadlock would naturally resolve itself, allowing them to advance further!

….

Half a month later.

Lu Ping’an’s Foundation Establishment ceremony began.

The ceremony, held at Bi Lake Mountain, being the first Foundation Establishment ceremony for the second generation of the Lu Family, was grand and lively.

“Greetings to Young Master Lu!”

“Indeed, a lion doesn’t father a lamb, congratulations to Lu Ancestor!”

“Lu Ancestor has taught his child well.”

“I wonder if Young Master Lu is married yet, my daughter

At Biyun Villa, numerous Foundation Establishment Ancestors came to offer their congratulations, looking at Lu Changsheng and Lu Lanshu’s son, Lu Ping’an, their hearts filled with envy and admiration.

Sitting in the main seat, Lu Lanshu watched the scene unfold, her son seemingly like a dream come true.

She had waited too long for this day.

Even though she knew early on that her son would breakthrough to Foundation Establishment and that a ceremony would be held at home.

Still, seeing her son receiving such widespread attention at this moment, her eyes reddened with overwhelming joy, and she burst into tears.

“Hehe

Lu Changsheng, bringing along his son Lu Ping’an, socialized with these Foundation Establishment Ancestors.

He reiterated their family’s policy of valuing peace above all, asking everyone to rest assured.

Regarding partnerships and marriage alliances, he was very willing from Bi Lake Mountain.

Subsequently, he and Lu Lanshu took Lu Ping’an to meet other Energy Refining Cultivators outside the villa, allowing these family forces to get acquainted with Lu Ping’an.

“Congratulations big brother, congratulations uncle!”

“Congratulations, Cousin Ping’an!”

The Lu Family disciples from Bi Lake Mountain and Qingzhu Mountain were the most enthusiastic, congratulating Lu Ping’an.

During this time, many daughters of smaller families cast admiring glances at Lu Ping’an, while shyly looking at Lu Changsheng.

Despite seeing these gazes, Lu Changsheng naturally noticed but harbored no thoughts of taking concubines.

Or rather, these ordinary Qi Refining Female Cultivators with average Spiritual Roots were no longer appealing to Lu Ancestor.

As for Lu Ping’an, he was indifferent to these looks.

Thus, the ceremony continued for three days before concluding, and the guests dispersed.

Lu Ping’an and others like Lu Qingsong returned to White Tiger Mountain to oversee things.

During this period, there were no movements from Dragon Light Commerce Chamber and Golden Dragon Ridge.

Even the Jin Family sent a gift during the ceremony.

However, Lu Changsheng always felt that the Jin Family did not harbor good intentions and acted as if nothing happened.

“Buzz!”

That day, Lu Changsheng sensed something and a Jade Slip appeared in his hand.

He knew it was Yun Wanshang contacting him, signaling him to come over and assist her in cultivation.

Although Lu Changsheng was quite open about this.

Still, the thought of the esteemed Lu Ancestor having to make the initiative, being blinded, and ridden by Divine Sense felt quite suffocating.

“Should I struggle a bit during the process?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Feeling that if he made a full effort, he might break free from the restraints.

Then, taking advantage of the opponent’s weakened state…

“Forget it, this is just the first episode plotline;

a regular Nascent Soul Cultivator shouldn’t be this weak

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

“To endure the hardest hardships is what makes a greater man!”

“Isn’t this also a form of cultivation, a form of tempering!”

With this epiphany, Lu Changsheng informed his family and set out for the appointment.

However, before leaving, he used the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone to seal his cultivation level to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Although he wasn’t sure if Yun Wanshang had seen through his cultivation level, it was better to conceal it if possible.
