Chapter 230: Chapter 119: The New Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, To Battle!_3 “` Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart. The Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain had been on good terms for generations with the Bai Family of White Bird Lake. As for the Chen Family of Red Leaf Valley, they also maintained friendly relations with the Zheng Family of Wugong Ridge. But now, if the Lu Family and the Bai Family, with their three Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, were to strike the Chen Family with the force of thunder, it was improbable that the Zheng Family of Wugong Ridge could come to the rescue so quickly. After Lu Yuanzhong finished speaking. Lu Yuanding and a group of Lu Family elders and clan seniors appeared. They summoned all the Lu Family disciples who were at the late stage of Qi Refinement or above. Following the two ancestors, they set out to strike at the Chen Family. There would be rewards based on merit afterward. And every person who registered was to be issued talismans, elixir medicines, magic artifacts, and treasures. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎 “Changsheng, Miaoyun, follow your grandmother over later,” said the Fourth Elder as he came over with two packets containing talismans, elixir medicines, and magic artifacts for Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun, and spoke out. This battle was a general mobilization of the entire Lu Family. All Lu Family disciples above the middle stage of Qi Refinement had to take part. Consequently, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun were no exception. For the Lu Family, this battle was deemed a sure-win situation. There was no danger anticipated. Having all the family disciples participate was also an opportunity to gain experience, expand horizons, and strengthen their sense of belonging to the family. “Yes, Grandmother,” Lu Changsheng replied. He had wondered if he could avoid going, just wait at the Lu Family for the good news. But unexpectedly, the Fourth Elder came and involved both him and Lu Miaoyun. He understood that such a full-family mobilization was unavoidable. To not participate would be akin to desertion. So he accepted the call, went along to see what a battle at the level of Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators looked like. After all, he had yet to witness the power of a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator. This would give him a chance to gauge the strength of Foundation Establishment cultivators, so he would know what to expect when facing one in the future. “Good, just follow your grandmother later. There won’t be any danger,” said the Fourth Elder in a gentle and kindly tone. “Alright, Grandmother,” Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun nodded in agreement. At that moment, Lu Changsheng also noticed Lu Yuanding instructing his two daughters about something, apparently, they were also going to participate; no one could be exempted. Half a day later. The Lu Family gathered all the disciples who were going to battle. Besides the two Foundation Establishment Ancestors, there were a total of four cultivators at the Ninth Level Energy Refinement, thirteen at the Energy Refinement Late Stage, and more than fifty at the Middle Stage. Those at the Initial Stage of Qi Refinement were not allowed to join in. Even though this battle was expected to be an easy victory, the Lu Family would not bring along cultivators at the Initial Stage of Qi Refinement, since such strength would not only be of little use but might also drag down the others. “Changsheng, Miaoyun,” called the Fourth Elder. He released a flying boat, calling Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun aboard, along with a few other Lu Family disciples, filling up the boat. “Depart for battle!” shouted the Lu Family Ancestor after the assembly was complete, leading the way with Lu Yuanzhong on Flying Swords. Five small flying boats followed, carrying a legion of Lu Family disciples. Some Lu Family elders and Guest Elders rode on flying mounts on both sides of the boats. They left Qingzhu Mountain in a mighty procession, heading towards the Chen Family of Red Leaf Valley. Meanwhile, Qingzhu Mountain was left with only a few clan seniors who activated the Mountain Protection Array, guarding the mountain, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of their absence. Simultaneously, in Red Leaf Valley, a slender youth was cultivating bees and insects, when suddenly, he felt somewhat unsettled in his mind and spirit. “It’s uncertain how many years the Lu Family Ancestor has left,” “Otherwise, if this delay continues, the effect of the Lockheart Gu will become increasingly significant on me,” murmured Meng Xiaochan to herself. Because of the Lockheart Gu, she could not directly kill Lu Changsheng. Upon hearing that the Lu Family Ancestor did not have many years left and learning of the enmity between the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain and the Chen Family of Red Leaf Valley, she came up with a plan and went to Red Leaf Valley to become a cultivator of the Chen Family, hoping to use the might of the Chen Family to annihilate the Lu Family. Then she would find a way to have Ancestor Chen indirectly kill Lu Changsheng and retrieve the Lockheart Gu. PS: My condition is really not good after staying up late, so I need to rest a bit. “`
