In Huyang Village, the most lively place was naturally the Lu Family. Ever since Shi Qingshan returned to Huyang Village, under the guidance of a martial arts expert like Shi Qingshan, the young people in the village all knew a few moves. The situation in Huyang Village improved a lot. Naturally, their standard of living improved a lot. Lu Xiaotian's father was the third son. Not only had his son returned, but the Lu Family's third son, who had been sick for a long time, had also fully recovered. In just a few days, he had returned to his usual healthy state. According to the Lu Family's third son, his illness had been cured by his son.
It was rumored that Lu Xiaotian had been learning outside for many years, and now his medical skills were astonishing. The Lu Family held a banquet to ward off the bad luck. Lu Xiaotian's eldest brother had also returned. Due to the lack of space in the house, Lu Xiaotian was actually living in Shi Qingshan's house.
Shi Qingshan looked at his son who was practicing in the house. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, but at the same time, he was extremely shocked. Back then, he had spent many years cultivating to become a first-class martial arts expert. However, Lu Xiaotian had only lived here for a few days, and his son's martial arts had already caught up to his father's. All he lacked was experience in fighting enemies and the martial arts world. Even his daughter, who was naturally quiet and had no interest in martial arts, was not much weaker than his son in terms of inner strength. It was just that her martial arts skills were much weaker. This was also what he had requested when Lu Xiaotian mentioned it. As a veteran of the martial arts world, although he had retired to Huyang Village for many years, Shi Qingshan knew how dangerous the outside world was. It was very important to have the ability to protect oneself.
"The methods of people like you are really unimaginable." Looking at his son who was practicing enthusiastically, Shi Qingshan sighed. "To be able to reach my current level, I had to go through many near-death experiences. How many days and nights of suffering could I improve by just a little bit? This kid has surpassed me in ten years in just a month. Comparisons are odious. "
"Even your own son is envious. What kind of father are you?" The beautiful woman beside him was Shi Qingshan's junior sister, Xu Yao. She laughed as she poked Shi Qingshan.
"I always feel a little indignant." Shi Qingshan nodded seriously.
"Take this package. The spirit liquid in these two small bottles is for my third brother and sister. When the time comes, pass it to him. "Lu Xiaotian handed Shi Qingshan a package.
Shi Qingshan's body stiffened. "Little Tian, are you leaving?"
"Yes, my path is different from yours." Lu Xiaotian nodded.
"If that's the case, why don't you hand it over to them personally?" Shi Qingshan asked.
"The two of them are still young and haven't seen the dangers of the outside world. If they know that I have this method and think that they can rely on me, it might bring disaster to them in the future. People have to rely on themselves in this lifetime. I can protect them for a while, but I can't protect them forever. "
Lu Xiaotian shook his head, "In addition to the two small bottles used to store elixirs, there is also a green pill bottle used to heal injuries and a blue pill bottle used to restore power. This small wooden box is for self-protection. If you encounter an enemy like the one behind the Black Iron Order, you just have to press the button on the wooden box. The mechanism inside will automatically respond to the enemy. It can only be used three times. After three times, it will be scrapped. "
"It can be used to deal with the person behind the Black Iron Order?" Shi Qingshan and his wife were aghast. They were martial artists who had survived the great turmoil. They had a heartfelt fear towards the rumored cultivators.
"The Cold Northern Country is located in a remote area. Very few cultivators are willing to come here. Usually, the cultivators who come here are not of a high level. The restriction in the wooden box is enough to deal with them. However, this is for self-protection. It cannot be leaked. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. You must remember this. " Lu Xiaotian nodded. There were more than ten puppet snakes hidden in the wooden box. They were made with low-grade Cold Ironwood in the past month. It was enough to deal with cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage, including those who had completed the Qi Refinement Stage.
"Don't worry. I won't use it unless it's a matter of life and death." Shi Qingshan nodded solemnly.
"I don't know when we will meet again. Big Brother Qingshan, take care!"
Lu Xiaotian's words were still echoing in his ears. However, Lu Xiaotian had already left on his flying saber. Flying on a flying sword was indeed a legendary immortal's technique. Shi Qingshan and his wife stared blankly at the small black dot that had disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"You take care too!" After a long while, Shi Qingshan came back to his senses and said softly.
The capital of the Yue Country was bustling with people and carriages. Although the Yue Country and the Cold Northern Country shared a border, it was much more prosperous than the Cold Northern Country. Due to the developed water transportation, the capital was located near the intersection of three rivers. There were many merchant ships coming and going from the docks. As a result, the capital of the Yue Country had a population of several million. The capital built by the mortals was at least ten times larger than the Full Moon City. After all, the Full Moon City was not small. However, there were only a few tens of thousands of cultivators living there. Other than when the sects were recruiting disciples, there were rarely more than a hundred thousand cultivators.
Whoosh whoosh …
The leader was a middle-aged general with an extraordinary aura. He led thousands of armored elite cavalry. There was a large group of infantrymen behind him as they advanced along the streets. They were advancing toward the residence of the Zhennan King, who had a different surname.
"We are under orders to quell the rebellion. All unrelated people are to make way. Those who disobey will be treated as traitors and punished." The leading general had a strong inner strength. His loud voice could be heard clearly by everyone within a few miles.
Clang. The door of the magnificent Zhennan King's residence opened. The leading white-haired old man led everyone out with a trembling voice. The thousands of people in the Zhennan King's residence all knelt on the ground. "Sinner Dai An respectfully welcomes the imperial decree!"
"The Zhennan King bathed in the grace of the heavens and did not repay the imperial court. Instead, he conspired against the imperial court and committed a heinous crime. By the imperial decree, the Zhennan King is to be deposed and his entire family executed. The entire residence is to be imprisoned and beheaded after autumn! "
The middle-aged general's voice shook the roof beams, causing the thousands of people in the Zhennan King's residence to turn pale. Many warriors were already holding their swords and sabers, ready to fight to the death. However, the middle-aged general waved his hand and hundreds of fierce soldiers were already pointing their bows at the people of the Zhennan King's residence.
"The Imperial Majesty also gave me another decree. If there is any resistance, kill without mercy!"
"Your Highness, rebel!" Many warriors had already raised their swords and stood up. Since they couldn't escape death, there were naturally people who wanted to take the risk.
"Release the arrows!" The middle-aged general pressed his hand down and hundreds of crossbows fired in unison.
The Zhennan King Dai An's old tears streamed down his face as his body trembled. He had been in the military all his life. How could he not know that the Imperial Majesty had already decided to kill him? Ever since he was transferred from his military position, the entire capital's army was under the imperial court's control. The residence was already surrounded by a large number of soldiers. At this time, there was already no room for maneuver.
Seeing the scene of blood flowing like a river in front of the residence, everyone was incomparably shocked. The hundreds of sharp arrows were unexpectedly still in the air, motionless. A young man descended from the sky.
"Immortal, it's an Immortal!" Everyone present saw Lu Xiaotian flying over on his saber and cried out in alarm. Even the soldiers who came to besiege the Zhennan King's residence knelt on the ground one after another.
"Immortal above, this is my Yue Country's national affair. Did we offend Immortal in any way? Immortal, please tell us." The middle-aged general gave a glance to the deputy general next to him. The deputy general was frightened and slowly withdrew from the army formation. Using his qinggong, he rushed towards the imperial palace.
"I don't care about the others, but I want to take Zhang Zizhong, his wife, and their children." Lu Xiaotian said. He didn't expect that this trip to Yue Country would provoke such troublesome matters. After asking around, he learned that Zhang Yang's son had already married the Zhennan King's daughter and married into the Zhennan King's residence. Just as he arrived, he encountered this matter. Therefore, he could only take action to stop it.
The middle-aged general's face suddenly turned ugly. This Immortal had specified that he wanted to take away a few people, but he had received the imperial order to capture all of them. Naturally, he couldn't easily agree. However, how could they contend against an Immortal? Fortunately, he heard that there were people in the royal family who had stepped on the path of Immortality and had just returned. The Zhennan King's residence was only two streets away from the imperial palace. With the deputy general's strength, rushing back to the imperial palace would only take a moment. He believed that he would soon receive a reply.
"This commoner is only a servant. I've already sent people back to the imperial palace. If Immortal and the Zhennan King are fated, presumably His Majesty will comply with Immortal's request." The middle-aged general said, stalling for time.
Lu Xiaotian nodded. He descended to the ground and asked the people from the Zhennan King's residence, "Which one of you is Zhang Zizhong?"
"I, I am." A very handsome middle-aged man with a somewhat dignified demeanor barely managed to maintain his composure as he stood up and said.
"Find your children. I was entrusted by your father. If your children have the aptitude to cultivate and are willing to follow me, I can take them away. If they are unwilling to leave, I can protect them. " Lu Xiaotian stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Since he was already here, he didn't need to worry about the grudges between mortals. Even if he was accused of treason, he didn't need to worry about anything.
"Where did this rogue cultivator come from? You actually dare to meddle in my Yue Country's affairs." Just as Lu Xiaotian was hesitating, a loud shout was heard. Several astonishing spiritual pressures were transmitted one after another.
Lu Xiaotian was shocked. He didn't expect to run into Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Yue Country, and eight of them at that. But soon, Lu Xiaotian's expression became strange. This was because he recognized a few of them.
When the middle-aged general saw that the cultivators on his side had also rushed over, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. He was just an ordinary person. When faced with these lofty Immortals, the pressure in his heart was immense.
"Brother Lu!" Oh Yeon cried out in pleasant surprise. Behind him were Luo Qian and Su Qing. There was also a young man from the Spirit Firmament Palace. He had seen him once when he came out of the Forbidden Bloody Ground. The other four were all disciples of the Devil Yang Sect. There were three men and one woman. The one who had just shouted at him was the leader of the group. He had a slightly stronger aura and a rather tall figure.
"Lu Xiaotian, I waited for you for so long, but I didn't see you come out. You finally succeeded in building your foundation. By the way, why are you here? "When Su Qing saw Lu Xiaotian, she was also very happy.
"My aptitude is a little worse than yours. Naturally, I was slower in building my foundation. I owe an alchemist of the Spirit Firmament Palace a favor. He asked me to help take care of his descendants. That's why I came to such a remote place. But you guys, why are you in the Yue Country? "Lu Xiaotian asked in surprise.
"It's such a coincidence that we ran into you here. Naturally, we were traveling. Along the way, we went to the capitals of many countries. I didn't expect that the lives of mortals could be so rich and colorful. It's much more interesting than the Spirit Firmament Palace." Su Qing looked very happy. She still wanted to continue talking.
Hearing this, Lu Xiaotian smiled bitterly. He had already narrowly escaped death several times. He had fought many fierce battles, but the other party had been traveling all the way. They were both Foundation Establishment cultivators who had just left the mountain to gain experience. Why was there such a big difference?
"So this is the famous Lu Daoyou. I'm Tao Feng. But since Lu Daoyou is a cultivator, you don't have to get involved in the affairs of mortals." Tao Feng, the leader of the group, was a tall young man from the Devil Yang Sect. He smiled and said.
"They're just a few mortals. Since Brother Lu was asked to do so, it's no big deal to spare their lives. Besides, these people have some fate with the alchemists of the Spirit Firmament Palace."
Oh Yeon heard Tao Feng's seemingly polite but obviously rejected Lu Xiaotian's attitude. She immediately stood on Lu Xiaotian's side.
"Junior Sister Wu, you're wrong. If we cultivators were to get involved in the affairs of mortals, the mortals would be in chaos." Tao Feng said calmly.
"Tao Feng, aren't you going to give us some face?" Su Qing frowned and said unhappily. Luo Qian had never liked Lu Xiaotian, but they were from different sects. In this case, it was rare that he did not disagree with Lu Xiaotian. Moreover, Tao Feng was obviously an admirer of Su Qing. He was a big threat.
The middle-aged general groaned inwardly. These immortals were divided into two groups in the blink of an eye. He had seen immortals fight before. Once they fought, half of the capital city might be destroyed. If he had known this would happen, he would have agreed to let Wang Zizhong and his wife go. If the capital city was seriously damaged, he would be blamed.
"Of course I have to give face to Junior Sister Su. However, I've long heard of Lu Daoyou's great name. You're known as the number one Qi Refinement cultivator in the forbidden blood-colored area. I'm sure you're just as powerful now that you've reached Foundation Establishment. I've never had the chance to meet you, but now that I've met you, I can't help but feel a bit itchy. Would Lu Daoyou be willing to spar with me? As long as Lu Daoyou fights with me, I'll give you face regardless of the outcome. How about it? "Tao Feng smiled. He seemed polite, but he was actually provoking.
Lu Xiaotian frowned. He didn't think he would encounter such a mess when he came to save Wang Yang's descendant. If he had known it would be so troublesome, he wouldn't have agreed. Now that he had been asked to do this, it was not his style to give up halfway.
"It's just a small matter. There's no need for Brother Lu to get involved. Tao Feng, if your hands are itchy, how about we fight?"
Just as Lu Xiaotian was about to accept the challenge, a light voice rang out. A few silhouettes once again broke through the air from afar. Among them, the woman in the yellow dress who seemed to be the leader seemed to have a kind of spiritual and refined aura of moonlight. The young man beside her also came with a mask on his face. The other three were Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ancient Sword Sect.
"It's the disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect. The leader seems to have the Moon Spirit Sword Body. She's quite powerful. Last time, only Brother Lu got more Foundation Establishment Pills than her." Oh Yeon whispered to Lu Xiaotian, "When did Brother Lu get to know people from the Ancient Sword Sect? It seems like your relationship is quite good."
