Hope Xiang brought the thirty-two cultivators of the Hades back to the Sword Sect like a skewer of candied haws.
Next, it was time for the interrogation.
It turned out that being good at killing didn't mean being good at interrogation. The two were completely different fields.
The tightly sealed mouths of the cultivators of the Netherworld Palace caused the sword cultivators of the Sword Sect, who had always been able to make a move but not a word, to be fuming with rage, and they wished for nothing more than to slice these people into pieces with their swords.
After two days of interrogation, the sword cultivators, who still had no results, finally gave up and turned to the Da Xia Kingdom for help.
It was better to hire professionals to do professional things.
The Da Xia Kingdom was naturally very concerned about the Hades. After learning of the situation, they quickly sent a reply and sent the Zhishou Building's warden to help with the interrogation.
Lu Qingshan originally wanted to wait for the results of the interrogation. The news that he was on the first kill list of the Hades made him more cautious.
However, plans couldn't keep up with changes. At this moment, he received the third sword letter.
This was a spiritual letter from the Lu family of Zhenjiang in Qingzhou. Because the Sword Sect and the Lu family were separated by two regions, it took a while for the letter to finally reach him.
The message in the sword letter was very short:
Lu Zhou's life is coming to an end.
The moment he saw the message, Lu Qingshan's heart couldn't help but tremble. Then, he fell silent for a long time.
Lu Zhou was already close to four hundred years old. It was normal that his life was coming to an end.
Although the Golden Elixir had a lifespan of five hundred years, that was only the theoretical limit.
It was rare for a Golden Elixir Daoist to live past five hundred years old. Lu Zhou could be considered to have lived a long life if he could live to four hundred years old.
The Zhenjiang Lu family had an indelible blood relationship with him.
Lu Qingshan was not blindly filial. If the Lu family treated him coldly or harshly, so what if they were related by blood?
However, Lu Zhou, this old man, treated him extremely well and cared about him a lot.
It was only after he became famous at the Seven Regions Dao Symposium that Lu Zhou started to treat him coldly.
It wasn't because they were estranged, but because the eagle didn't want to drag down the fledgling's flight.
This was the first time the Lu Clan had sent him a spiritual message since he entered the Sword Sect. Even so, the spiritual message did not directly call him back to the Lu Clan.
Those who belittle their enemies are heartless, those who belittle righteousness are heartless, and those who belittle filial piety are the most heartless.
Lu Qingshan wasn't in the mood to wait for the results of the interrogation. He hurriedly left the sect and rushed to the Southern Mountain Range, hoping that he could make it in time to see the Great Elder of the Lu Clan one last time.
.....
Qianzhou Mountain Range, Secret River Peak.
This was where the Lu Clan was located.
Six years ago, the Lu family was only one of the thirty-six major cultivation families in Zhenjiang. Their ranking was only in the middle.
Later, Zhenjiang was destroyed and rebuilt after the Corpse Puppet Rebellion. The surrounding cultivation families were reshuffled.
The original 36 major cultivation clans eventually became 24 major clans. However, the Lu Clan stood firm and was still ranked in the middle.
However, who would have thought that in less than a year, the Seven Regions Dao Symposium that shocked the seven regions of the human race would end with Lu Qingshan, a disciple of the Lu Clan.
Since then, the Lu Clan soared into the sky. Their rise was unstoppable. They became the leader of the cultivation families in Zhenjiang, and no one could shake their position.
Due to Lu Qingshan's outstanding performance in the Seven Regions Dao Symposium, Qing Province directly gave the Lu Clan a Grade Four Spirit Vein with even more abundant Spirit Qi as a reward.
Thus, the Lu Family decided to move and build a new family base on the new spirit vein.
However, the Lu Clan did not abandon the original Secret River Peak Spirit Vein. Instead, they changed it to the Lu Clan's ancestral land.
When Lu Zhou's time was up, he returned to the ancestral land.
.....
Lu Qingshan went through many Teleportation Formations. After a day, he finally arrived at the Lu Clan's ancestral land that he had not returned to for a long time.
He did not stop at Secret River Town. He went straight in from the top of the mountain on his sword.
With his current cultivation base and status, there were not many restrictions on his actions.
The Lu Clan's blessed land at the top of the mountain might be average in terms of Spirit Qi.
However, due to the surrounding Secret River, the place was filled with mist all year round, making the air incomparably fresh. In terms of scenery, it had a unique flavor.
The moment Lu Qingshan's body landed, another Daoist shadow appeared almost at the same time. It rose along the Secret River and finally stopped in front of him.
This Daoist shadow was a male cultivator with strangely pale skin in purple robes. His eyes were filled with a thick chill as he looked at Lu Qingshan gloomily.
Lu Qingshan stared at this Daoist shadow. His face was tense as he frowned.
The person before him did not hold back at all. He was unscrupulous. Pressure gushed out and pressed down on him.
'This is …'
'This is a pressure that only a Soul Formation cultivator has!'
"Lu Qingshan, you're a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet you've made us lose 32 Void Refinement cultivators. You should be proud of yourself …" This Soul Formation cultivator who suddenly appeared had his gaze fixed on Lu Qingshan. He sneered and said, "However, this time … is there anyone who can save you?"
"Or," the Hades cultivator named Yuan Cang sneered, "are you confident that you can escape from me?"
"So, the Lu Clan's spiritual message is fake, and it's just to lure me here?" Lu Qingshan asked softly as he came to a realization.
"That's right." Yuan Cang nodded. "To deal with you, Lord Arbiter of Fate has prepared two plans …"
"I originally thought that Lord Arbiter of Fate's actions were superfluous. Are the 32 Void Refinement cultivators in the Yin Capital not enough to take you down? Why do I have to make a move? "
Yuan Cang said ferociously, "I didn't expect that Lord Arbiter of Fate's words would come true in the end. You really have to use me as a backup plan."
"That's why," Yuan Cang paused, and praised, "Lu Qingshan, you're really something!"
A trap within a trap within a trap.
Lu Qingshan originally thought that Kanei Yulan's trap was Hades' entire plan to kill him.
Hence, after cooperating with Xi Xiang to capture 32 Hades Void Refinement cultivators in one fell swoop, although he did not become arrogant because of it, the caution in his heart had inevitably weakened by a lot.
This was a very normal situation.
After all, who would have thought that Hades would not rest and recuperate after suffering such a heavy blow and make proper preparations to make a comeback? Instead, they immediately launched a second assassination plan without stopping?
Moreover, the cover for this assassination plan was the extremely confusing Lu Clan.
It was impossible to guard against them.
"It's not appropriate for a Soul Formation cultivator to personally kill a Nascent Soul cultivator like me, is it?" Lu Qingshan said in a low voice.
"How is it not appropriate?" Yuan Cang shook his head, and said with certainty, "There are talents in every generation. You're only a Nascent Soul cultivator now, and you're already so difficult to deal with. If you really care about the so-called qualifications, when you reach the Soul Formation stage, won't I be easily killed in front of you?"
"You're really humble, sir." Lu Qingshan twitched the corner of his mouth.
"It's not that I'm humble, it's just that you, Lu Qingshan, are indeed incomparably talented … But, so what?" Yuan Cang said indifferently, "If you're a Soul Formation cultivator now, perhaps even ten of me wouldn't be your match, but …"
"You're a Nascent Soul cultivator now!"
"Such a genius is going to die in my hands today. Just thinking about it makes me excited!" Yuan Cang looked at Lu Qingshan, and unconsciously licked his lips, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.
In the next moment, monstrous killing intent and Devil Qi had already erupted from his body.
