Chapter 1029: 224: Ambush on the Way, Lingxi Xie Family! (3)

"Such physical prowess!?"

Xie Ying’s eyelids twitched violently at the sight of the explosive physical strength that Lu Ping’an displayed.

He immediately gestured an incantation, causing the shattered vapors to steam up and gather like a silver dragon waterfall, aiming to entangle Lu Ping’an’s Black Dragon Halberd.

"Buzz"

Lu Ping’an tightly grasped the Black Dragon Halberd and abruptly twisted it, making the Great Halberd tremble wildly, sounding like metal clashing, scattering the silver dragon.

Subsequently, the qi-blood in his body burst forth like a breached river, an angry dragon emerging from the abyss, casting a faint golden treasure-light under the silver armor over his strong muscles.

"Thump thump thump"

Wind and thunder raged around Lu Ping’an, with upsurging qi-blood above his head like beacon smoke reaching for the clouds, charging towards Xie Ying and the other two like a horde of thousands of horses and soldiers.

"This...."

Lu Ruyi, witnessing this scene and wielding her Flying Sword, appeared somewhat dazed.

Where am I, and what am I supposed to do?

Big brother has broken through the attacks of three people by himself, how can I plunder their formation? nøvel.coɱ

It would be more like Big Brother plundering for me.

But Big Brother is also too impressive...

"Wow, Big Brother is so awesome!"

Lu Linghe clapped excitedly as she watched Lu Ping’an in action.

It’s just a bit strange, why doesn’t Big Brother use his fists and simply punch directly through them?

"Is this the power of the Eighth Level Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art? I wonder if Sister Wangshu’s Talismans can break through Big Brother’s physical body..."

Lu Lingxiao stared at the majestic silhouette of his big brother, his pupils reflecting a hint of gold as he pondered.

"Big Brother is so powerful!"

"Hiss, this must be Second-tier Top Level Body Refinement, right!?"

"Uncle Ping’an’s strength..."

The other disciples from Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family and Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family were also shocked by the scene, followed by surges of excited delight in their hearts.

Knowing that Lu Ping’an was there to support them, the business trip was essentially secure.

"Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family, quite a formidable Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family, no wonder they dared to establish a merchant association at this time!"

Xie Ying’s expression changed slightly as he saw the overwhelming momentum of Lu Ping’an, filled with serious solemnity.

He gestured an incantation, and his Life-bound Spiritual Artifact ’Han Tan Pearl’ flew out, radiating with frosty rosy light.

This cold energy combined with the vapors from his hand incantation to spiral and form ice-cold Flood Dragons charging towards Lu Ping’an.

"Boom boom boom"

Lu Ping’an’s expression remained calm as he swung the Black Dragon Halberd. Each strike was as heavy as a mountain, as though collapsing the void, shattering the ice-cold Flood Dragons into a sky full of ice and vapor.

Seeing the domineering Lu Ping’an, godlike and demon-like, bearing down upon him, Xie Ying immediately spoke out, "Daoist Lu, I concede!"

He had realized that it would not be easy for the three of them to defeat Lu Ping’an unless they fought with all their might.

But as there was no enmity between the two families, there was no need to go to war over such a trivial matter.

Furthermore, his objective for this trip was to gauge the strength of Blue Lake Mountain.

Now, Lu Ping’an had proven with his strength that Blue Lake Mountain was as formidable as a False Core Family.

Apart from Lu Changsheng and his wife Lu Miaoge, who were on par with False Core Immortals.

There were also genuine Body Refining Cultivators like Lu Ping’an with the combat ability of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage!

Not like Lu Wangshu, who relied on Talismans and external items as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Moreover, considering Blue Lake Mountain probably had about ten Foundation Establishment individuals, it was not to be looked down upon and was worthy of acknowledgment from the Xie Family.

"Daoist Xie, I am honored."

Seeing this, Lu Ping’an revealed a gentle smile on his upright martial face.

"Daoist Lu, I apologize for the offense today. This is a small token of my Xie Family’s sincerity, please accept it."

Xie Ying took out several brocade boxes from his Storage Bag and handed them to Lu Ping’an as he spoke.

"Daoist Xie is being too courteous."

Lu Ping’an knew that accepting the gift would mean leaving the past grievances behind, so he reached out to take the gift box.

"Lu Daoist, if the nobility has any business cooperation needs, feel free to visit the Xie Family at Lingxi Lake at any time."

"This is the token of Lingxi Lake. Your people can come to Lingxi Lake with it."

Xie Ying continued, offering a token.

"Alright, thank you Daoist Xie."

Lu Ping’an nodded, accepted the token, and glanced at it.

One side bore the word ’Lingxi,’ and on the other, the character for ’Xie’.

"I heard that Lu Daoist has not yet established a household? All the women of the Xie Clan are graceful and dignified, virtuous and well-mannered. If Lu Daoist is interested, I can make the arrangements..."

Xie Ying looked at Lu Ping’an in front of him and suddenly spoke.

He had seen some basic information about Blue Lake Mountain before.

He remembered that this firstborn son of the Lu Family was not old, seemingly only in his sixties.

At that age, being in the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment is rather ordinary.

However, being in the Late Second Rank of Body Refinement at that age is quite astonishing!

One must know, Body Refinement is even more difficult than Qi Refinement and takes a lot of time and effort.

Lu Ping’an before him possesses such Body Refinement strength, surely due to some great fortune.

Perhaps it’s possible that in the future, he could break through to False Core, leveraging his Body Refinement prowess!

If our two families could arrange a marriage early on, it would be a great boon for my Xie Family.

"Uhh... I, Lu Someone, am currently devoted to cultivation and have not yet considered marriage."

Lu Ping’an’s face twitched slightly, not expecting such a swift change of topic from Xie Ying in front of him.

"Alright then, if Lu Daoist ever finds the time, feel free to visit the Xie Family;

our families should interact more,"

Xie Ying looked somewhat regretful but remained extremely polite.

He hinted that there might be other family forces targeting Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family, and Lu Ping’an should be cautious.

He even subtly suggested that the incident at Red Leaf Valley Market might be related to the Sima Family.

After chatting for a while, Xie Ying went forward to make polite conversation with Lu Ruyi, greeted Ling Zixiao, and then took his leave.

"Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family, the eldest son, Lu Ping’an."

"This couple from Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family are comparable to True Pill Masters, and even Lu Changsheng’s Talisman Formation could threaten and even suppress an average True Pill Master."

"Now there’s also Lu Ping’an, with such formidable Body Refinement combat power;

the rise of Blue Lake Mountain is becoming unstoppable."

Standing on the Spirit Boat, Xie Ying was filled with emotion, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something extraordinary about Blue Lake Mountain.

He even suspected that there might be more to Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge than meets the eye.

After all, Lu Changsheng’s daughter, Lu Wangshu, relying on the heritage of the Talisman Path, wields such astonishing combat power.

It might be true, as the early rumors suggested, that Lu Changsheng could threaten and even kill True Pill Masters with Talisman Formations.

"Don’t spread word of this matter."

At this moment, Xie Ying looked towards his nephew and the visiting noble servant, speaking out.

While he wished to maintain friendly ties with Blue Lake Mountain and hoped for cooperation between their families, he also would not mind seeing Blue Lake Mountain clash with the other major powers.

Especially with the Sima and Yuan Families.

As old False Core families, they have always acted aggressively and do not wish to see new False Core families emerge.

Having suffered a setback at Red Leaf Valley Market, they are likely to take ruthless measures this time.

If Blue Lake Mountain clashes with these two families and a fierce battle ensues, the Xie Family could also benefit from it.

"I didn’t use my full strength just now, and it’s likely that Lu Ping’an didn’t either."

"Moreover, the Lady of the Lu Family has not made a move since the year Lu Changsheng seized Bi Lake Mountain from the Yu Family, yet she came to oversee the caravan this time;

definitely not a simple matter."

Xie Ying secretly mused, even looking forward to the encounters of the Lu Family Caravan with the other forces.

If both sides lash out and fight fiercely, causing flares of anger, that would be interesting indeed.
