Chapter 1239: Chapter 430: Spirit Vein Promotion, Two Branch Veins! Profound Martial Ridge. Sima Family Ancestral Hall. "How is this possible!" The Sima Family Head saw the four shattered Soul Plates in front of him, his entire body shivering uncontrollably, his face deathly pale. Not only was he afraid of the death of his four uncles. He also feared the wrath of the family patriarch after his uncles’ deaths. After all, these four uncles were the hope of this generation for the Sima Family, with future prospects of reaching Core Formation. Now, they had all fallen unexpectedly. "My uncles were just going to deal with the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family Caravan. How could they possibly fall in the outside world?" "Could it be that some other family’s False Core Patriarch ambushed and killed them on the way?" The Sima Family Head’s body trembled continuously, muttering to himself, unwilling to believe this fact. "No, this is absolutely unthinkable. If other False Cores dared to commit such a taboo act, it would lead to an all-out fatal rupture with our Sima Family. They definitely wouldn’t dare to do so." "Moreover, my uncles were extraordinary, even a True Pill Master would find it difficult to kill them all." The Sima Family Head’s throat was dry, his mental spirit quivering, suspecting that his four uncles might have encountered other dangers on the road. Not daring to think further, he hurriedly flew towards the top of Profound Martial Peak, arriving in front of a cave mansion, he knelt down and shouted, "Patriarch, there’s a great disaster!" "What issue needs such screaming and shouting?" A deep, heavy voice filled with authority came from the cave mansion. "Patriarch..." The Sima Family Head knelt in front of the cave mansion, his face deathly pale, his forehead dripping with sweat, his voice hoarse as he said, "Sima Bo, Sima Zhong, Sima Shu, Sima Ji, the Soul Plates of the four uncles... have shattered." "What!" An overwhelming magic aura billowed out from the cave mansion, hitting the Sima Family Head who knelt outside so hard that his whole body sank, his Qi-Blood tumbling violently, leaving him with a heavy feeling in his chest. He didn’t dare to move, prostrating on the ground, and with a trembling voice said, "Not long ago, upon hearing about the matters at Blue Lake Mountain, the four uncles went to intercept the Lu Family Caravan, saying they wanted to cut them down a notch..." "Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family Caravan? How could a mere Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family kill the pride of my Sima Family!" An old man with grey hair, a rugged face, dressed in black brocade robes, walked out of the cave mansion, his eyes round and fearsome, looking at the Sima Family Head in front of him, radiating an intense oppressive aura. "Patriarch, I am also at a loss..." The Sima Family Head trembled as he spoke. He knew well that their family patriarch was not someone with a good temper. It was only after breaking through to False Core that he began to cultivate his disposition, becoming much more amiable. "The Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family, I remember that young lad Lu Changsheng and his wife cultivated a Dual Cultivation Technique, their battle power comparable to a False Core, also possessing a superior Talisman Formation art." The Family Patriarch spoke with an authoritative and domineering voice, his eyes sharp and penetrating, continuing to ask, "Could this Lu Family Caravan be personally overseen by Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge?" "This Lu Family Caravan was presided over by the Lu Family’s eldest son, Lu Ping’an, and Lu Changsheng’s Dao Companion, Ling Zixiao..." The Sima Family Head replied. After finishing, he added, "A month ago, under Blue Lake Mountain’s Red Leaf Valley Market held a Foundation Establishment Elixir auction... During this event, Lu Changsheng did not show up, so it’s not ruled out that Lu Changsheng was hiding within the caravan." Although he did not think that Lu Changsheng had the strength to kill his four uncles, he suspected that these four uncles could have encountered dangers elsewhere. But with the family patriarch in a fury, he would certainly pour out his rage. If he were to analyze the situation further, causing the patriarch’s anger to have no outlet, it might fall on his own head. "If Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge lack her presence in their Dual Cultivation Technique, where would he get such ability..." The Patriarch Sima was enraged beyond measure, but still maintained his rationale. "Patriarch, recently at the Red Leaf Valley Market, the daughter of Lu Changsheng, Lu Wangshu, alone with her Talisman Formation killed five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, indicating that Lu Changsheng’s Talisman inheritance is extraordinary, a top-tier legacy." "Early in his years, just after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, Lu Changsheng relied on his Talisman Formation to kill three Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Yu Family, thereby taking over Bi Lake Mountain." "After so many years, nobody knows how advanced Lu Changsheng’s Talisman skills have become. If the four uncles were careless and fell into his Talisman Formation, it’s possible that..." The Sima Family Head was speaking when suddenly, he felt it made much sense; it was quite possible. Immediately lifting his head, he looked at his family patriarch with a grieving expression and said, "Otherwise, with the four uncles’ strength, even a True Pill Master in a confrontational fight couldn’t have killed them all." "I heard from the Nineteenth Uncle that the Soul Plates of the four uncles shattered almost simultaneously, which is similar to Lu Changsheng’s Talisman Formation technique." "Patriarch, you must seek justice for the four uncles!" The Sima Family Head cried out loud, a wave of sadness welling up in his heart. But as soon as the words left his mouth, his heart sank sharply. If Lu Changsheng could kill his own four uncles, if their own patriarch went, could he really kill him? "Lu Changsheng, what a Lu Changsheng, daring to kill the pride of my Sima Family, this old patriarch will annihilate your Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family!" Upon hearing this, Patriarch Sima was burning with rage. It should be noted that the four brothers Sima Bo acquired a great fortune back then, cultivating an unparalleled secret technique. When one of them aimed to breakthrough to Core Formation, the other three could sacrifice their life’s Origin Source to assist, improving the breakthrougher’s chances of Core Formation by twenty to thirty percent. With the Sima Family’s background, coupled with this secret technique, perhaps they could achieve a breakthrough to Core Formation for one person, catapulting their Sima Family into a Nascent Soul Noble Family. But now, with the fall of the four Sima brothers, their Great Clan dream was directly shattered. How could he not be enraged by this situation! "Third and Fourth, are they at home? Notify them to come and see me!" Patriarch Sima was beyond furious, his False Core power permeating his surroundings, making the adjacent Sima Family Head feel suffocated, struggling to breathe.
