Ancestor Above-Novel2

120 Blood Night (3 in 1)

As Lu Qing followed Lu mingchao and watched her kill people from afar, he opened the system and checked the rewards he had received.

two-star Achievement: killed foundation building cultivators (5 accumulated)

[ you have killed five foundation building cultivators. You have been rewarded with 250 karma. ]

......

With this reward in hand, it was as if Lu Qing had not spent any money on the two 2-star combat options that he had just exchanged.

Of course, the exchange tab that was used was also a type of resource. Now that the war was over, he couldn’t simply enter the conquest mode to farm the battle exchange tab. He had to use the remaining five as sparingly as possible.

However, if the Lu clan were to go to war with the Zhao clan, would the conquest mode be activated for the second time?

Lu Qing was a little uncertain.

Previously, Lu Qing had also talked about the Zhao clan with a few people in charge of the clan. At that time, he and his children had basically reached a consensus-they had to delay the time of the war as much as possible.

The Lu clan was currently in the middle of a huge project. The upgrade of the spirit vein on Yuyan mountain required the Lu clan to pay 1000 spirit stones a year. At the same time, before the upgrade of the spirit vein was completed, chaoxi’s cultivation fee was 1000 spirit stones a year.

This fixed expenditure of two thousand spirit stones was quite stressful. In addition to other daily expenses, the Lu clan had to fork out more than 4000 spiritual stones every year during this special period of the decade.

This expenditure could not be saved at all.

If Lu chaoxi had not decided not to ask for any salary for the next ten years, he would have had to pay another 1000 spirit stones based on the treatment given to initial enlightenment cultivators by most families.

In comparison, his annual income was only about 3500 Yuan.

Although the Lu family had been developing rapidly in recent years, it was inevitable that they had a weak Foundation. If it weren’t for the 18000 spiritual stones he brought back from the battlefield, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on.

Under such circumstances, it was not wise to start a war with the Zhao family.

War was like a beast that devoured gold. Although there was no such thing as ‘with a single blast of a cannon, ten thousand taels of gold’ in this world, the logic was the same.

It was especially so when cultivators fought. Talismans and pills were all consumables, and most importantly, they were expensive. If one side prepared a few talismans during a fight, the situation would be completely different.

Even if it was a magic tool, although it could be used for a long time, it would be broken in a real fight.

The compensation for the death of a cultivator and the reward for victory were all money.

Looking at the battle of the northern border, the Allied forces of the two Zhou dynasties had mobilized tens of thousands of cultivators to fight against the White ghouls. After more than a year of fighting, it was estimated that the four major forces, led by the Qingfeng sect, had spent millions of spirit stones-otherwise, how could it be said that it was a serious blow to their bones?

If the Lu family were to go to war with the Zhao family now, the financial pressure on the family would be very, very great.

The best choice was to drag on for another ten years. By the time the spirit veins were upgraded, Lu mingchao might have also been enlightened. At that time, the Lu family’s double Qiming would be able to wrestle with the Zhao family. The pressure would be much lighter, and the chances of winning would be much higher.

However, humans did not do things completely rationally.

The cause of this incident was the greed of the Zhao clan, the indignance of the three Qi refining cultivators of the Lu clan, and then the situation escalated under Zhao Pingliang’s identity and unyielding ridicule. Chu Chao had killed him until he died.

After killing Zhao Pingliang, the whole thing had become very bad.

Out of the seven foundation building cultivators in the Zhao clan, three had died in the battle of the northern border. There were only four left. The most promising and most powerful one had died at the hands of the Lu clan of Pingyao County.

When the news was sent back to the Zhao clan, this war was bound to start.

Since they were going to fight anyway, there was no need to have any appeasing thoughts. The Zhao clan had stationed 14 cultivators in Pingyao County all year round, and they had killed all of them.

The cultivators of the Zhao family were not mentally prepared. When they heard and sensed the movement in the district headquarters, they were all on alert. However, they did not know what exactly had happened, so they did not run away just because of that.

By the time mingchao arrived in front of him, he would have no way to escape.

First, she killed the three cultivators of the Zhao family, five rogue cultivators, and more than 30 servants who worked for the Zhao family.

Then, he rode on his flying sword and headed toward the manor in the county where the man-made spirit vein had been opened. The Zhao Manor was located there.

Her water cloud horse was severely injured by Zhao Pingliang’s sword pellet. By the time the battle ended, it was already on the verge of death. Fortunately, she still had a spare flying sword.

Ming Chao continued to kill when they arrived at the Zhao Manor.

The amount of spiritual energy she had stored up was not even 30% of what she had been at her peak. However, it wasn’t too much of a problem to deal with a group of Qi refining cultivators who didn’t have a formation and were suddenly attacked.

The Zhao Manor was the most magnificent place in the entire Pingyao County. This place covered a large area. There were seven Qi refining cultivators from the Zhao family, fifteen itinerant cultivators who followed the orders of the Zhao family, and hundreds of servants of the Zhao family living here.

Lu mingchao immediately took out her cloud gathering Gu turning cup, turned it into a large patch of poisonous fog, and sprinkled it down. The hundred or so mortals had all died not long after coming into contact with the poisonous fog. Even the weaker lianqi cultivators couldn’t last long under the poisonous fog.

A young Qi refining cultivator jumped out and cursed as he ran out, ” “Where did this thief come from? How dare he behave so atrociously in the Zhao Manor? Are you tired of living?”

Lu mingchao recognized the man. He was Zhao qingan, the son of Zhao pingsong. She even vaguely remembered that this fellow was the one behind Lu mingsi’s injury when he was selling his horse.

With a cold Humph, the Jade wind clarity sword brought with it a green light. In an instant, it reached Zhao qingan’s body. The sword light flashed back and forth a few times, and Zhao qingan was cut into seven or eight pieces of flesh. Even his soul was destroyed.

How could the Qi refining cultivators who were capable and did not die in the poisonous fog not be terrified when they saw this? They couldn’t fly, so they could only use their own abilities to escape.

However, how could he outrun Lu mingchao?

The Jade wind ten clarity sword and the broken Yin Water rope became his two main killing methods.

When dealing with these Qi refining cultivators, the broken Yin Water rope was not only effective in controlling them. It could easily snatch away the magic tools, wrap them around the neck, and lift them up with mingchao’s hand gesture, hanging them in the air. The Qi refinement cultivators who were hung up struggled for a while before they stopped breathing.

In less than two hours, mingchao had killed everything that could be moved in the Zhao Manor. Not a single one escaped.

After that, she visited several other places in the city and captured the other three members of the Zhao clan who were still alive. She then killed them all.

When the sun rose, all the cultivators of the Zhao family were dead. In addition to these 14 people, Ming Chao also killed some of the itinerant cultivators and servants who had been hanging out with the Zhao family all year round.

In just one night, at least 150 people had died at Lu mingchao’s hands. Among them, there were close to 40 cultivators. The rest were ordinary servants in the Zhao residence.

In terms of cultivators, there were at least a hundred cultivators living in Pingyao County all year round. Nearly half of them had been killed.

Those who were still alive were basically ordinary itinerant cultivators who were close to the Lu clan or who did not participate in the competition between the two clans.

Now, they were extremely glad that there was no problem with their position.

At the same time, the cultivators of Pingyao called this day ‘Pingyao Blood Night’. After that night, Lu mingchao was given the nickname’ God of killing’.

...

......

The next morning, Lu tinghua brought mingsi and meiting into the city. After finding out about what had happened last night, he reacted quickly despite being shocked.

On one hand, they had cleaned up the Zhao family’s Treasury and found more than 700 spiritual stones.

In addition, the Lu clan had also sent ten cultivators down from Yuyan mountain to occupy key positions in the city. At least, they had ensured the operation of the city.

At the same time, the Lu clan had also begun to appease the remaining itinerant cultivators under Pingyao.

There were a lot of things to do, and time was tight. When Lu chaoxi heard about his sister’s massacre in Pingyao, he quickly woke Chaohe up. Lu Chaohe had no choice but to end his seclusion in a hurry. He descended the mountain and went to Pingyao County to set up the formation.

This was purely in preparation for war.

When he was setting up the formation, he had a hint of blame in his tone when he saw his sister.

He felt that Lu mingchao’s methods last night were too cruel. She had only killed cultivators. There was no need to kill mortals, even if they were servants of the Zhao family.

Mingchao also acknowledged it.

Her eyes were red from all the killing last night.

...

After daybreak, she started to regret. Those mortal slaves were indeed innocent.

However, on second thought, they were also working for the Zhao clan. When the Zhao clan was powerful, these servants of the Zhao clan also swaggered around in Pingyao. Since they had enjoyed the benefits, then when the Zhao clan fell, they would be buried with them. This might be the price they had to pay.

“This matter will not be good for your reputation,” Chaohe said helplessly.

“It doesn’t matter.” Mingchao said, ” I’ll just kill those who deserve to be killed in the future.

“Ai, ai, ai, ai.”

......

Such a big thing had happened, and the whole city knew about it on the same night. There was no way to hide it. Ten days later, anyone who was slightly well-informed in the entire anling Prefecture knew what had happened in Pingyao.

Everyone’s eyes were on the Zhao clan.

The Zhao clan also reacted.

In anling Prefecture city, they invited all the clans and famous itinerant cultivators from the various counties and even some people from other counties to hold a meeting.

During the meeting, they announced what Lu mingchao had done in Pingyao County ten days ago. They added oil to the fire and described her as a homicidal maniac who had sworn to take revenge.

This method was very open and cunning.

However, people with ulterior motives could see that there was a high suspicion that he was trying to frame them. She would use words like ‘too numerous to be recorded’,’ filled with evil’, and ‘rivers of blood’ as if Lu mingchao had massacred hundreds of thousands of people in the county.

you make it sound as if Zhao Pingliang would not have wiped out the Lu family’s influence in Pingyao overnight if he had killed Lu mingchao and Lu xueting on the spot.

Many people had the same thought.

However, no one jumped out and sang the opposite tune of the Zhao family at this time. In fact, many of their allies in anling Prefecture were also stirring up the crowd.

In the end, hundreds of cultivators from the Zhao clan, as well as the three surviving Foundation establishment cultivators, gathered outside the city gates of anling County under the leadership of the clan leader, initial enlightenment cultivator Zhao zhengzha. They were ready to set off.

An old man with a decent appearance and white hair stood in front of them.

“Senior brother Qiu, what can I do for you?” Zhao zhengzha walked up and cupped his hands.

“Senior brother Zhao, I’m afraid the sect won’t be happy with such a big fuss.” Qiu wanyong was here to persuade him.

Zhao zhengzha heard Qiu wanyong’s words and laughed angrily.”So senior brother Qiu’s meaning is to just call us the Zhao family?”

“That’s not what I mean, Yingluo.”

“No need to say anymore!” the Lu clan has killed my clansmen and humiliated my family in Pingyao County. If we don’t take revenge, how can the Zhao clan have a foothold in anling? ” Zhao zhengzha interrupted sternly. historical

Qiu wanyong couldn’t maintain his gentle attitude after being spoken to so rudely.”If there’s anything, the sect will make the decision. Acting on your own and starting a fight, what’s the point of that?”

“Could it be our Zhao family that started the fight? We haven’t even gotten back the bones of 15 of our Zhao family members! You want me to stop? That’s fine too. Ask the Lu clan to send 14 cultivators to tie their hands and come to Pingan County with Lu mingchao to die!”

“Don’t think I don’t know! what happened that day was because the Zhao family abandoned us first. Zhao Pingliang, who once killed a member of the Lu family, provoked us. It’s also wrong for the Lu Corporation to be too aggressive, but it’s not up to you guys to settle this in private!”

“Senior brother Qiu, do you really have to stop me today?”

“Yes.” Qiu wanyong said, ” if you ever think about it today, beat me to the ground right here!

Zhao zhengzha stared at him but didn’t make a move in the end.

Qiu wanyong wasn’t as strong as him. If they fought, he had at least an 80% chance of defeating Qiu wanyong without taking his life.

However, this matter was a little too big. The Zhao clan had knocked down an initial enlightenment cultivator of the sect. What did this mean?

Zhao zhengzha was filled with hatred.

But what could he do? Qiu wanyong’s attitude was firm.

“I’ll remember what happened today! I’ll report this to the sect, and you’ll be punished!”

Zhao zhengzha didn’t dare to make a move, so he could only leave with his men.

Qiu wanyong heaved a sigh of relief.

How could he not be panicking?

Qiu wanyong was the person-in-charge of the Qingfeng sect in anling Prefecture, and he usually didn’t care too much about things. Ordinary matters would naturally be handled by the people below. The Qingfeng sect was the one with the highest authority in the Feiyun state, and no one would be so foolish as to challenge the sect’s prestige.

However, today’s matter had blown up, and he had no choice but to step in.

There were nearly 30 initial enlightenment cultivators in the Feiyun state. In the battle of the northern border a year ago, even though Lu chaoxi had joined the fray, five people had died. That meant that one-sixth of the initial enlightenment cultivators in the state had died.

The initial enlightenment cultivators were the backbone of the cultivation world in the entire state. The Qingfeng sect was not willing to see anyone die again, even if it was not the sect’s initial enlightenment.

From the Qingfeng sect’s point of view, all the clans in the Feiyun state were their vassals and a part of their power. For example, the Zhao clan and the Lu clan could call them over if something happened to their sects.

No matter who won or lost, the Qingfeng sect would not want to see them fight each other-it was equivalent to an internal battle.

If an initial enlightenment cultivator were to die, it would be a huge loss.

As the person in charge of the sect in anling Prefecture, Qiu wanyong naturally had the responsibility to prevent the two sides from starting a war.

If it were the other two families, it would be fine. However, he, Qiu wanyong, was a fourth-level initial enlightenment cultivator and represented the Qingfeng sect. Which family would dare to disobey?

But it was the Zhao family’s Xuanji

Zhao zhengxuan himself was at the sixth level of the initial enlightenment stage, even stronger than Qiu wanyong. moreover, the Zhao family had a lot of power in the sect.

The Zhao family had always been polite to Qiu wanyong, but they didn’t take his word for it like the other families.

Today, he could be considered to have gone all out.

Otherwise, if Zhao zhengzha were to bring all the cultivators from the Zhao family to Pingyao and engage in a life-and-death battle with the Lu family, he would probably be severely punished in the sect.

Now, no matter what, he had done his best to stop Zhao zhengzha.

The rest of the matter would depend on how the sect would handle it. There was not much he could do.

the Lu family’s Xuanji and the Zhao family’s Xuanji, Hmph! None of them are easy to deal with! Qiu wanyong complained in his heart.

When he returned to the prefecture, he summoned a small sword and wrote a letter. With a wave of his hand, he threw it out and quickly flew South.

This was a flying sword specially used to send messages. It could travel 100000 miles in a day. Through this method, he could contact the sect as soon as possible.

......

Qingfeng sect, Mount he Liang.

It had been two days since Zhang Shiman returned to the sect with Lu Wenen. He seemed to be waiting for something.

The two of them sat upright on the futon until a short sharp whistle came from the horizon, and the two of them were moved.

A moment later, the door of the quiet room opened, and a young-looking woman wearing a luxurious navy blue Palace robe walked out.

“Master, is there a letter?”

“Yes, senior brother Qiu stopped Zhao zhengzha outside anling city.”

“That’s good,”

Lu Wenen also kowtowed deeply. “Many thanks, Grandmaster!”

“You’re welcome,” The woman looked at Lu Wenen and said, ” “It’s just that your Lu mingchao is too brutal in her actions. She was the one who made the first move, so the sect will make a decision about this in the future. It’s not convenient for me to interfere in this kind of matter. We’ll see when the time comes.”

Mingchao was from the same generation as Wenen’s great-grandfather, so he could not say anything. He could only kowtow again.

“I’ll be leaving first.” The woman raised her hand, and a cloud rose from under her feet, carrying her body and flying into the distance.

After she was far away, Lu Wenen kowtowed to Zhang Shiman again. “I have to thank master for your help this time.”

Zhang Shiman shook her head and said,”I didn’t do much. I just reported this matter.” This matter involves old ancestor hai and old ancestor Zhao. Even my master doesn’t have much say in this, let alone me. ”

Lu Wenen was silent.

The woman in the palace dress was called Li Yanling. She was a loose cultivator, but when she was in her teens, it was discovered that she had a single spiritual root. She was accepted into the sect by hai Sande and was personally taught by him. Now, he was 180 years old, but he was already a ninth level initial enlightenment cultivator.

She was also Zhang Shiman’s master, and also Lu Wenen’s Grandmaster.

Lu Wenen had heard that ten years ago, Li Yanling had attempted to form the gold core, but she had failed and had injured some of her vital energy. She had only recovered from her injuries and emerged from closed-door cultivation this year.

However, even though she had experienced failure, she was still a figure with a chance of reaching Jindan. Li Yanling was still young, and she still had at least a hundred years to go. She could try again.

During the bloody night in Pingyao, Wenen was still on Yuyan mountain, making preparations for his departure. After the news was sent back, the Lu clan made a prompt decision to send Wenen back to the sect.

On the way to anling city on the flying boat, uncle Ming Ling, who had just built his Foundation, personally sent him there. After disguising himself, he entered anling Prefecture city and took the fastest flying boat to the sect.

At this moment, the sect had already received Ping Yao’s news.

However, Wenen felt that there was still room for improvement.

Hence, he went to find his master, Zhang Shiman, and asked for her help.

Unable to resist her disciple’s request, Zhang Shiman wrote a letter to her own master, Li Yanling.

In fact, she didn’t have much hope at all. She didn’t intend to get involved in this mess.

However, who knew that her master would personally come to Mount he Liang and tell her about this matter. He even sent a flying sword to Qiu wanyong of anling Prefecture to express the sect’s stance on this matter.

Right now, the sect had yet to make a decision on this matter, but there was a premise: The two families, especially Lu chaoxi and Zhao zhengzha, could not fight. At least, not for now.

It was also because of the sect’s attitude and Li Yanling’s flying sword that Qiu wanyong was willing to personally enter the battle to stop the Zhao clan’s troops.

At first, Zhang Shiman was very surprised by this. However, after waiting for the news outside the door for a long time, she slowly figured out the way.

Looking at her obedient and silent disciple, Zhang Shiman hesitated for a moment and decided to reveal more.

“Wenen, you have to understand that not everyone is of one mind even in the sect.”

in our Qingfeng sect, from the outer sect disciples to the inner sect disciples, to the core disciples, from the Golden core cultivators to the ordinary Qi refining cultivators, everyone has their own stand.

“Some of them are rogue cultivators, some of them are from noble families. Some people relied on their teachers and individual efforts, while some had their families to support them. Some of them are enemies like your Lu and Zhao families, and some of them are on good terms with each other.”

“It all depends on old ancestor Zhao’s bloodline. Many cultivators from the Zhao clan, as well as many other clans on good terms with the Zhao clan, will join. but as old ancestor Zhao grew older and his life was about to end, the Zhao clan’s decline began to show. Ancestor hai was born in the North Sea County’s raochang County. The hai family is also a distinguished family in the North Sea that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Now, their power is growing.”

we, master and disciple, although we don’t usually get involved with the affairs of the sect, you must know that we are also cultivators of ancestor Hai’s lineage.

the other branch was passed down by sect leader Daoist Kong Tong. It’s mainly passed down by wandering cultivators and master-disciple disciples, and there are fewer cultivation families.

ancestor Zhao’s and ancestor Hai’s bloodlines aren’t exactly enemies. It’s just that they represent different cultivation families, so there’s some competition.

this time, I’m afraid it’s about these things again. I’m most annoyed by these things. Even if I move to heliang mountain, I can’t avoid them!

Lu Wenen had been in the sect for more than a decade, so he had heard some of these things, but they were definitely not as detailed as what Zhang Shiman had said.

After hearing this, he could only say to Zhang Shiman, ” “This disciple is unfilial, I’ve made things difficult for master.”

“Forget it, forget it.” Zhang Shiman could not hide the frustration on her face. I am the successor of ancestor Hai’s bloodline. I may have escaped this time but I won’t be able to escape next time. Let’s leave it at that for now. It’s hard to say how the matter in Pingyao will develop.”

This chapter was 6000 words long, and the regular 4000 words were all in it. The extra 2000 words were to make up for the update, so he still lacked 23 chapters.

There’s definitely no more chapters at 7 pm. I’ll see if I can write another chapter tonight!
