```plaintext "Boom, boom, boom——" Endless thunderous sounds bombarded the Great Formation of Red Leaf Valley Market, making the entire marketplace flicker between light and darkness, eerily uncertain. And the original thin mist that enveloped the marketplace now rapidly thickened at this moment, as a powerful surge of spiritual power fluctuated throughout. It turned the entire formation into the color of the sky-blue jade bowl with layers of water patterns flowing on it, enveloping the market. Now that the Robber Cultivators were attacking the market, the four major families were unsure of the situation, whether there were more Robber Cultivators outside planning to attack the marketplace. Thus, faced with this situation, it was natural to fully activate the Great Formation and seal off the marketplace. To prevent Robber Cultivators from killing their way into the marketplace, to prevent those within from escaping, and to restrain the Loose Cultivators from causing chaos while waiting for support from the four major families to arrive. "Boom boom boom!" Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge quickly arrived at the Lu Family Spiritual Talisman Shop. They immediately saw four cultivators unleashing techniques against the Lu Family Spiritual Talisman Shop, bombarding it furiously. These groups of Robber Cultivators, raiding the marketplace, naturally picked the better shops to plunder first. And the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop in the entire marketplace was also one of the better shops, which is why it was the first to be targetted by the Robber Cultivators. "Fellow Daoist, if this is your family’s shop, we will take our leave now." "If it’s not your family’s shop, please do not meddle." The four Robber Cultivators bombarding the shop’s formation saw Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge rush over and immediately showed caution in their eyes. From their clothing, demeanor, and temperament, they could tell that Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge were no ordinary Robber Cultivators or Loose Cultivators. Seeing the two people hurry to this place, they guessed that it was very likely that they were the shopowners. Therefore, they were unwilling to engage in conflict. After all, with the market in chaos, their goal was to profit as quickly as possible. There was no need for pointless strife. "Clang!" Without a word, Lu Changsheng slapped his Storage Bag, and the Green-Face Sword was unsheathed. He had mostly sold the unused Flying Swords and Magical Artifacts he had on him. Only the Green-Face Sword the Fourth Elder had given him remained. Now that Lu Miaoge was by his side, it was inconvenient to show off the Spiritual Artifact, so he used this Magical Sword instead. However, to kill these Robber Cultivators, a Magical Sword was already enough. "Swoosh——" The Flying Sword unsheathed, its green-gold light circling, the blade unveiled striking brilliance, strands of Sword Qi spat out, like a divine rainbow directly lunging at the four people. All four were attacking his shop; how could he waste time talking with them? "Not good!" "Watch out!" Seeing the Flying Sword coming toward them, the four hastily stimulated their Protective Auras and wielded their Magic Artifacts. But even the most advanced among them was only at the Eighth Level Energy Refinement Stage. Faced with the extremely sharp Green-Face Sword, with explosive Sword Qi, slashing at them, they had no time to defend and couldn’t stop it. "Thunk thunk thunk——" The Protective Auras around the four were instantly pierced by the cold Sword Qi, followed by their heads being severed by the blade’s light. With one move, one at the Energy Refinement Late Stage, three at the Middle Stage, all died. "Changsheng." Seeing this scene, Lu Miaoge’s eyes revealed shock and surprise. She was surprised not only by Lu Changsheng’s strength. But also by his decisiveness and ruthlessness in killing. After so many years of living together, in her eyes, Lu Changsheng had always been a gentle and refined man, handling matters as gently as a breeze or drizzling rain. He never argued or fought with others, much less engage in combat or killing. So at this moment, seeing Lu Changsheng decisively act against the four Robber Cultivators without mercy and instantly slaying them, she was utterly astonished. It was as if she had seen another side of her husband. "These people wanted to profit from the chaos, so they should be ready for this." Lu Changsheng let out a light laugh, said casually, and sheathed the Green-Face Sword. In this situation, he didn’t bother to hide anything in front of Lu Miaoge. Or rather, in terms of acting decisively, he had not really hidden it. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺 It’s just that his disposition was inherently easygoing and gentle, and when dealing with family, he would not show any killer instinct. "I know, it’s just the first time I’ve seen you act so decisively, Changsheng, which is why I was surprised." Lu Miaoge pursed her lips, her eyes full of softness, and spoke gently. She did not mind Lu Changsheng killing people. In her eyes, this was not something evil or bad. In the ruthless Cultivation World, if you don’t kill, others will kill you. Whether it’s an individual or a family, once you step on the path of cultivation, you cannot escape killing. Just like the time when the Lu Family and the Chen Family battled, when the Lu Family and the Bai Family went to war with many of the Ping’an Family’s children, it was a way to let their own children experience a baptism of blood to understand the cruelty of the Cultivation World. "Mistress!" At this time, from inside the Spiritual Talisman Shop, two young women hurried out, their souls still unsettled as they called out to Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng. They were apprentices at the Spiritual Talisman Shop. They lived there on regular days. The recent events had scared them quite a bit. "Xiao Yun, Xiao Shui, you’ve worked hard." Lu Miaoge said with a gentle face, looking at the two. "Sister Miaoge, you stay here, I’m going to check on the ’Peace Talisman Hall.’" Lu Changsheng said to Lu Miaoge. Given the Spiritual Talisman Shop was targeted, he estimated his Talisman Shop suffered the same fate. Moreover, with Lu Miaoge by his side, he couldn’t exhibit his full strength, and his actions were somewhat hindered. "Okay, Changsheng, be careful." Lu Miaoge nodded. She didn’t say she wanted to accompany Lu Changsheng any longer. Her insistence on being with Lu Changsheng before was due to her lack of confidence in him. Worried that, despite his cultivation level, he was not adept at combat. But having now witnessed Lu Changsheng’s strength and decisiveness, her worries dissipated. Knowing that Lu Changsheng was even better than her in combat and killing. "Sister Miaoge, rest assured, I have Talismans with me, nothing will happen." "You also be careful, and send me a message immediately if anything happens." ```
