Chapter 2116: Chapter 700: Heavenly Talisman Lu Family! (Part 2) He even wanted to deceive them for their parents’ inheritance and fight for Foundation Establishment resources. "Whoosh!" At this moment, a Foundation Establishment escape light appeared at the mountain gate, revealing an elderly man whose hair was white yet looked full of spirit. "Little Ruo, Little Yu!" The elderly man looked at the two sisters, then at Lu Wangshu and the others, especially at the tall and strong Lu Ping’an, his pupils constricting. More than thirty years ago, outside the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, he had seen Lu Ping’an, and was deeply impressed by this eldest son of the Lu Family who had defeated Shangguan Jiuyang. He didn’t expect this eldest son, who had vanished for decades, to come as well. Immediately pretending not to have seen him, he bowed and said, "This old man is Li Yunhui, I’ve met Fairy Lu, I’ve met fellow Daoists." "Uncle Hui, Little Yu and I came back this time just to take my parents away." Li Xingruo’s expression softened considerably when she saw the elderly man. Even with Lu Miaoge and Lu Wangshu present, she only had to speak to find a reason to destroy the Li Family. But back then, it was because someone in the family supported them that she could leave Great Cliff Mountain with her sister. The elderly man before them had once taken quite good care of her as a senior. Besides, with so many years of grudges, she had long seen through them and let go, realizing that it was those early events that had revealed the falseness of familial affection to her. "Sigh, as long as you are doing well, it’s good." The elderly man looked at the many Foundation Establishment cultivators before him, sighed deeply, knowing the family had wronged the two sisters so many years ago. Now, so many years later, he couldn’t figure out the sisters’ temper, dared not say much, and opened the Mountain Gate Grand Formation. ... Half a day later, Li Xingruo tidied up some old relics and left Great Cliff Mountain with Lu Wangshu, Lu Miaoge, and others. "Patriarch..." The Li Family patriarch and several elders looked at Li Yunhui, wanting to ask for his opinion on the matter. "Sigh, the family needs a good reorganization." Although Li Yunhui had supported the two sisters in the early days, it was mostly out of face for their parents to take care of them a bit. Now that the sisters had returned, not holding the Li Family accountable was already a gesture of courtesy, how could they still seek closeness? The Li Family cultivators sighed with a mix of fear and regret. They felt fortunate the Li sisters did not hold them accountable, but regretted that such a connection could not be utilized. If they could attach themselves to the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, not to mention business cooperation or practical help, just the name alone could mean decades of peace for the Li Family at Great Cliff Mountain. "Aunt Xingruo, aren’t you going to the Zhao Family?" After returning to Jiuxiao Immortal City, Lu Wangshu asked Li Xingruo. "So much time has passed, let it be." Before coming, Li Xingruo thought there was no need for such a big fuss. If she had always held a grudge in her heart, she couldn’t possibly have waited until now. "Alright." Seeing this, Lu Wangshu nodded after hearing her answer, but secretly sent a message through Lu Qingye to inform the Zhao Family of their presence. Although his aunt decided not to pursue it, since they had come, they couldn’t just let it go so easily. Otherwise, if word got out, others might think their family was easy to bully! A few days later, the news reached the Zhao Family at Mo Yu Mountain. "Damn it!" A False Core Patriarch of the Zhao Family, having understood the entire situation, immediately became flustered and angry, and promptly chose treasures from the family’s treasure vault, preparing to offer an apology. "With such a large family, prosperous and thriving, sometimes you don’t even know when you’ve caused trouble..." Several elders of the Zhao Family expressed their feelings, filled with a sense of fear. They felt grateful that the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family was relatively upright and not as arrogant as some overbearing sects. "The old patriarch of the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, Changsheng True Master, is known to be quite gentle, but the Talisman Fairy Lu Wangshu who appeared outside Great Cliff Mountain before is not of a good temper." "Right, and apart from this Talisman Fairy, Changsheng True Master’s wife, the Lady of the Lu Family, Lu Miaoge, also came...." Upon learning about Lu Wangshu, the Zhao Family immediately tapped into the intelligence network for more information. Shortly after advancing to Foundation Establishment, she became renowned for destroying five Foundation Establishment cultivators outside the family marketplace with a talisman formation. Then, during the confrontations between the Lu Family and the major family forces under the Qingyun Domain, whether it was against the Jin Family of Golden Dragon Ridge or the Sima Family of Profound Martial Ridge, the presence of this Talisman Fairy was noted. She even went with Lu Ping’an directly to the Jin Family’s gate, bombarding their Mountain Protection Array with talismans and leaving harsh words behind. Besides, there is also some startling news. Years ago, during the Core Formation celebration of Changsheng True Master, the ancestor of the Divine Blade Shangguan Family brought along their elite Shangguan Poyun to make a scene. As a result, Shangguan Poyun, who was hailed as the Shangguan Family’s most promising candidate to break through Core Formation, almost got blown up by Lu Wangshu’s Talisman Formation, truly terrifying! So, for such a young lady with dual Core Formation parents, exceptional talent, and a temper, they are genuinely afraid. "Old Zhao Dongfu of Mo Yu Mountain, pays respect to Miao Ge True Man, all Fairies, Daoists." The next day, the ancestor of the Zhao Family personally came to apologize, speaking humbly, presenting his prepared generous gift, his eyes revealing some regret. Although he is a False Core Immortal. Facing Lu Miaoge, a True Elixir Cultivator, he dared not show any disrespect. After all, only False Core Cultivators know the gap between a False Core and a True Elixir. This gap is even larger than that between a True Elixir and a Superior Grade Gold Core. A True Elixir, even a Flawed Core, only falls short in mana and future potential compared to a Golden Core, yet at least belongs to Nascent Soul Cultivators. But False Core Cultivators, relying on Demon Cores and external breakthroughs, have no potential for further growth, and in the eyes of many high-rank cultivators, they are not considered True Men or Nascent Soul Cultivators. "Quite sensible indeed." Lu Wangshu, dressed in an expensive pink and white gown, was exquisite in appearance and graceful in demeanor. There was no need for showing off or actively seeking justice. With the current reputation of the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, just releasing word was enough to have ninety percent of Jiang Country’s family forces come personally to apologize and resolve grievances. Even Li Xingruo, Li Xingyu, and Lu Qingqi couldn’t help but sigh when they saw the humble demeanor of the Zhao Family ancestor in front of them. They deeply realized the weight of the four words Nascent Soul Immortal. ... After giving Zhao Family’s apology gift to Li Xingruo, the group continued to have fun around Jiuxiao Immortal City. As Jiang Country’s once first Immortal City, Jiuxiao Immortal City was still bustling and lively. However, at this moment, the group was approached by a few uninvited guests. "Greetings, Miao Ge True Man, greetings to the young friends." Twenty years ago, the Divine Blade Shangguan Family contributed greatly to the opening of the war, allowing the family to produce a second Nascent Soul Immortal, ensuring the Divine Blade Shangguan Family would not lose their Great Clan status upon the passing away of their Nascent Soul Patriarch, unlike the Five Elements Royal Family. "Greetings, Purple Thunder True Man, may I ask the purpose of your visit?" Though in the past, Heavenly Talisman Lu Family and Divine Blade Shangguan Family had some enmity. But under the initiative of Lu Changsheng, the two families currently have no grudges and even get along well. When ’Purple Thunder True Man’ hosted his celebration, the Lu Family prepared a gift for them. "Haha, hearing that Miao Ge True Man and the young friends arrived in Jiuxiao Immortal City, as hosts, our Shangguan Family should naturally come to meet you." "Additionally, it is due to this unpromising junior in the family who, having lost to Young Friend Wangshu in the past, now wishes to challenge for a duel upon hearing that True Man and Young Friend Wangshu are here." Purple Thunder True Man pointed at Shangguan Poyun who carried the Thunder Blade. Lu Miaoge and Lu Ping’an looked at Shangguan Poyun. Ninth Level Foundation Establishment cultivation! The whole body exuding an intense yet controlled saber aura. Likely intending to utilize constant challenges to nurture Essence, Qi, and Spirit, heighten Saber Intent to the peak, and then break through Core Formation in one go, like a storm. During this process, Purple Thunder True Man also looked towards the tall and burly Lu Ping’an. Cultivation and Mana, Qi-Blood were obscured by an invisible Qi Mechanism, making him hard to discern. "Could this person have broken through to Core Formation?" Purple Thunder True Monarch pondered to himself. Over thirty years ago, this eldest son of the Lu Family had reached Quasi-Third Rank Body Refining. For years he was under the radar, and now without any trace of magic aura, making himself undetectable, leading to this subconscious speculation. "One family, four Core Formations!" Considering this conjecture, even Purple Thunder True Man couldn’t help but feel shocked. Indeed, if Lu Ping’an has truly broken into Core Formation, then Heavenly Talisman Lu Family would possess four Nascent Soul Cultivators, thus becoming a top-level force under the Four Great Immortal Sects! What’s most important is, all four Nascent Soul Cultivators from Heavenly Talisman Lu Family are tremendously young. Unlike his Divine Blade Shangguan Family, seemingly having two Nascent Soul Immortals, but the previous generation’s patriarch suffered severe injuries in the opening war, with only decades of life left. For this reason, they invest efforts in nurturing Shangguan Poyun and others likely to form a Core, hoping to add one or two more Nascent Soul Cultivators to the family!
