Volume 7: The Strongest Four Realms Chapter 93: The Third Sword Letter
Xi Xiang brought these thirty-two monks from the underworld back to the Sword Sect like a string of candied haws.
Next comes the interrogation.
It turns out that being good at killing does not mean being good at interrogation. The two are completely different fields.
The tight-lipped and unyielding cultivators from the underworld made the sword cultivators from the Sword Sect, who usually would rather take action than talk, so angry that they were fuming and wished they could cut these people into human sticks with a single sword.
After two days of interrogation, the sword cultivators still gained nothing and finally gave up struggling and turned to Da Xia for help.
Professional matters should be done by professionals.
Daxia was naturally very concerned about the affairs of the underworld . After learning about the situation, it quickly replied and sent monks from the Zhishou Tower Prison Warden Department to help with the interrogation.
Lu Qingshan originally wanted to wait for the results of the interrogation, but the news that he was in the first killing sequence in the underworld made him much more cautious.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. At this time, he received the third sword letter.
This was a spiritual letter sent from the Lu family in Zhenjiang, Qingzhou. Since the Sword Sect and the Lu family were separated by two different domains, it took some time for the letter to be circulated before it finally reached him.
The message in the sword letter was very brief:
Lu Zhou's time is up.
…
The moment he saw the news, Lu Qingshan's heart trembled unconsciously, and then he was silent for a long time.
Lu Zhou was already nearly four hundred years old, so it was normal for him to be approaching his end.
Although the lifespan of the golden elixir is 500 years, that is only the theoretical limit.
Jindan cultivators who can actually live past 500 years old are actually rare. Lu Zhou can live to around 400 years old, which can even be considered a long life.
The Lu family of Zhenjiang has an indelible blood relationship with him.
Lu Qingshan is not foolishly filial. If the Lu family is indifferent or mean to him, what does it matter even if they are related by blood?
But this old man, Lu Zhou, was extremely kind to him and cared a lot about him.
It was not until he became famous in the Seven Realms Forum that Lu Zhou began to be indifferent to him.
It's not that they are estranged, but because the eagle does not want to hinder the eagle from spreading its wings and soaring.
This was the first time that the Lu family had sent him a spiritual message since he entered the Sword Sect, but even so, the spiritual message did not directly call him back to the Lu family.
Those who take revenge lightly are unkind, those who take righteousness lightly are unfeeling, and those who take filial piety lightly are the most heartless.
Lu Qingshan had no intention of waiting for the results of the interrogation here, so he left the sect in a hurry and rushed to the Southern Region, hoping to catch up and see the great elder of the Lu family for the last time.
…
Qianzhou Mountains, Mihe Peak.
This is where the Lu family is.
Six years ago, the Lu family was just one of the thirty-six major cultivation families in Zhenjiang, and was even ranked in the middle.
Later, after the Corpse Rebellion, Zhenjiang was destroyed and then rebuilt, and the surrounding cultivation families experienced a reshuffle.
The original thirty-six major cultivation families eventually became twenty-four, but the Lu family remained standing and still ranked in the middle.
But who could have imagined that in just one year, the Seven Realms Forum that shocked the seven realms of the human race would end with Lu Qingshan, a member of the Lu family, winning the championship.
Since then, the Lu family has been soaring to the top, and its rise is irresistible. It has become the top cultivation family in Zhenjiang, and no one can shake its position.
And because of Lu Qingshan's outstanding performance in the Seven Realms Discussion Forum, Qingzhou directly allocated a fourth-grade spiritual vein with more abundant spiritual energy as a reward to the Lu family.
The Lu family simply made a large-scale migration and established a new family residence on the new spiritual vein.
However, the Lu family did not abandon the original Mihe Peak spiritual vein, but turned it into the Lu family's ancestral land.
Like fallen leaves returning to their roots, when Lu Zhou's time was up, he returned to this ancestral land.
…
After Lu Qingshan went through several teleportation arrays, he finally arrived at the Lu family's ancestral land, which he had not returned to for a long time, one day later.
Without stopping in Mihe Town, he flew straight in from the top of the mountain on his sword.
With his current level of cultivation and status, there are not too many restrictions on what he does.
The Lu family’s blessed land on the mountaintop may be average in terms of spiritual energy.
However, because it is surrounded by the Mi River, the area is filled with mist all year round, making the air extremely fresh . In terms of scenery, it has a unique flavor.
The moment Lu Qingshan fell, another figure appeared almost at the same time, rising into the air along the Mi River and finally stopping in front of him.
This figure was a male cultivator wearing a purple robe and with strange pale skin. His eyes were filled with a strong sense of coldness as he looked at Lu Qingshan gloomily.
Lu Qingshan stared at the figure, his face tense and his brows furrowed.
The person in front of him was unrestrained and unbridled, with his pressure gushing out and pressing towards him.
This is……
The pressure that only a Divine Transformation cultivator can have!
“Lu Qingshan, you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, but you actually caused us to lose thirty-two Void Refining cultivators. You are indeed proud of yourself…” The suddenly appearing Spiritualization cultivator kept his eyes on Lu Qingshan, sneered, and said, “But this time… is there anyone who can come to save you?”
"Or," the underworld cultivator named Yuan Cang sneered, "Do you have the confidence that you can escape from my hands?"
"So, the Lu family's spiritual letter is fake, and it is just to lure me here?" Lu Qingshan suddenly realized and asked softly.
"That's right," Yuan Cang nodded, "In order to deal with you, Lord Siming has prepared two plans this time..."
"I originally thought that Lord Siming was making unnecessary moves. Aren't the thirty-two Void Refining cultivators in Yindu enough to take you down? Why should I take action?"
Yuan Cang said grimly: "I didn't expect that in the end, it would be Master Siming's words that came true. I really have to use my backup plan."
"So," Yuan Cang paused and praised, "Lu Qingshan, you are really amazing!"
A set within a set.
Lu Qingshan originally thought that the situation with Jinjing Yulan was a complete plan by the underworld to kill him.
Therefore, after cooperating with Xi Xiang to capture thirty-two Netherworld Refining Monks in one fell swoop, although he did not become arrogant, the cautiousness in his heart inevitably weakened a lot.
This is a very normal situation.
After all, who could have thought that after the underworld had just suffered a heavy loss, instead of recuperating, staying out of the spotlight, and making good preparations before making a comeback, they immediately launched a second killing spree without stopping?
In addition, the appearance of this killing is still extremely confusing, the Lu family.
It's hard to guard against.
"It's inappropriate for a Jindan cultivator to personally take action to kill me, a Yuanying cultivator, right?" Lu Qingshan said in a deep voice.
"Why not?" Yuan Cang shook his head and said affirmatively: "Talented people emerge in every generation. You are so difficult to deal with now that you are only in the Nascent Soul stage. If you really care about the so-called qualifications, when you reach the Spiritualization stage, won't I be killed at will in front of you?"
"Your Excellency is truly very humble." Lu Qingshan curled the corners of his mouth.
“I’m not being modest. It’s just that you, Lu Qingshan, are indeed extremely talented… but, so what?” Yuan Cang said indifferently: “If you were a spirit being now, maybe ten of me wouldn’t be your match, but…”
"You are now a Nascent Soul!"
"Such a genius is going to be defeated by me, Yuan Cang, today. It's exciting just to think about it!" Yuan Cang looked at Lu Qingshan, licked his lips unconsciously, and revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
The next moment, murderous and demonic energy burst out from his body.
