Chapter 1690: Chapter 569: The Shangguan Patriarch Comes to Make Trouble, Jade Liquid Marrow-Cleansing Pill! (Part 2) Tell him, and also the world, that even in a Core Formation Noble Family, there are differences! Back then, the Purple Shadow Secret Realm incident did not represent the true underlying strength of the Shangguan Family! "Alas, I just wanted to hold a ceremony and develop the family steadily. Why do you have to push me?" Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart, glancing at the young man beside Shangguan Patriarch. Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment cultivation. But since the other could be brought by Shangguan Patriarch, his strength must be extraordinary and cannot be measured by ordinary Foundation Establishment levels. "My Lord, since Shangguan Patriarch is in such high spirits, why not invite Chensha and the others to come over, and let this young friend have a spar? I’ve long heard of the Divine Blade Shangguan Family’s reputation and have never seen it." At this time, Ling Zixiao, dressed in a blue palace dress beside the main seat, spoke with a light smile. Others may not know the strength of the Lu Family disciples, but she did. Now that the Shangguan Family was being provocative, how could they not respond! The only regret was that her son, Lu Lingxiao, was still in the Great Dream Marsh and hadn’t returned. However, with Lu Wangshu and Lu Qingxuan, that was sufficient. "I also wish to see it," said Meng Xiaochan beside her. Though she was gentle and obedient next to Lu Changsheng, not elsewhere. "Very well, since Shangguan Patriarch is so eager, I should not refuse it either," said Lu Changsheng. Then he sent a message to some of his sons and daughters in another side hall to come over. Due to limited space in the main hall and the numerous disciples of the Lu Family, they were all dining in a side hall. Moments later, Lu Ruyi, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Wangshu, Lu Chensha, Lu Yunlou, Lu Xingchen, and Lu Qingxuan arrived. Lu Changsheng conveyed the words of Shangguan Patriarch. The present disciples of the Lu Family were not foolish. They immediately realized that this Shangguan Patriarch was here to cause trouble. "Father, since Senior Shangguan has this incentive, I want to try and challenge this Shangguan Daoist!" Lu Wangshu, dressed in pink and white with a bright and beautiful appearance, smiled at the cold-looking young man from the Shangguan Family. Lu Ping’an was traveling, Lu Quanzhen and Lu Qingshan were not home. So, considering the current combat strength of the Lu Family’s disciples, Lu Wangshu was the highest. Moreover, Lu Wangshu’s cultivation level was the same as this Shangguan family member’s, precisely the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment. Of course, the Profound Origin Bead, being an exotic treasure, did not count as real cultivation. "Lu Wangshu!" "Among the descendants of the Lu Family, besides Lu Ping’an, Lu Wangshu is the most remarkable!" The cultivators in the hall all knew or had heard of Lu Wangshu. Not only did she inherit Lu Changsheng’s Talismanic inheritance, but she even surpassed her predecessor in some ways. She had just broken through to Foundation Establishment not long ago and had already used thousands of talismans to single-handedly suppress and kill six Foundation Establishment cultivators, making a name for herself in the Qingyun Region. In the previous gifts, nine Second Rank Top-Level Talismans were given, indicating that at a young age, she was already a Second Rank Top-Level Talisman Master! "Lu Wangshu." Shangguan Patriarch eyed Lu Wangshu before him. Coming this time, he had naturally understood the situation of the Lu Family. He knew that besides Lu Ping’an, the Lu Family’s most monstrous talent was Lu Wangshu. Having Lu Changsheng, a Third-rank Talisman Master, as her father, no one knew how many talismans and advanced Spirit Talismans she had. Such a talisman cultivator was simply terrifying! Even the Sword Cultivators and Saber Cultivators, who are known as unrivaled attackers, dared not confront them head-on at the same level! However, since he dared to bring the family juniors here and make such statements, it was naturally with confidence. Knowing that when talisman cultivators act, setting up a Talisman Formation takes time. As long as in this process, preventing her from setting up the formation would mean half the victory. If not, losing to Lu Wangshu with her talisman reliance wouldn’t be considered a loss. As long as the other Lu Family disciples couldn’t raise their heads, he would have achieved his goal! "Poyun, what do you think?" Shangguan Patriarch looked at the cold young man beside him and asked indifferently. "Shangguan Poyun, at your service, Miss Lu." The cold young man immediately stood up, looking at Lu Wangshu, exuding a sharp and domineering aura like a sword cultivator. "It’s too small here to fully exhibit our skills. There’s a piece of open ground outside the manor that could serve as the battlefield," Ling Zixiao continued. She then gracefully turned to the cultivators within the hall and said, "You are welcome to come and watch if you’re interested." "Of course, of course." The cultivators in the hall replied politely, also wishing to see the strength of the disciples from both families. However, they couldn’t help but wonder. "Why does this Lu Family matron look so confident?" "But with Lu Wangshu having the record of surpassing a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, she’s no less than this Shangguan Poyun!" "As a Second Rank Talisman Master and the daughter of Lu True Master, she’s probably equipped with Third-rank Talismans." "In a spar, she surely wouldn’t be allowed to use Third-rank Talismans. What would be the point otherwise?" ... Outside the Lake Heart Island hall, other guests and cultivators in the side halls, upon seeing this scene, were somewhat surprised and puzzled, not knowing what was happening. But upon hearing explanations from several Lu Family disciples, they immediately came over to join in on the excitement. Moments later, everyone arrived at the open ground on the outskirts of Lake Heart Island. "Wangshu, this young friend from the Divine Blade Shangguan Family is not ordinary. Do not underestimate him." Meng Xiaochan told Lu Wangshu, secretly instructing her to be ruthless. She had a good relationship with Lu Wangshu. She knew the other’s personality was somewhat like Nangong Yaoyao’s; though seeming innocent and lively, she was actually cunning. "Don’t worry, Sister Xiaochan," Lu Wangshu replied with a smile, gesturing for reassurance. Shangguan Patriarch also conveyed to Shangguan Poyun to admit defeat if the other deployed a Talisman Formation. After all, facing a talisman cultivator in full force, few cultivators at the same level could match.
