``` "No need to thank me; I’m curious to see exactly how you plan on not thanking me." Yu Jinyang faced Lu Yuanzhong’s threat, completely unconcerned. If Qingzhu Mountain had no one attempting the Foundation Establishment at this time, he would indeed be wary of Lu Yuanzhong to some extent. After all, with the Family Great Formation at his disposal, he dared not confront it head-on. But now, with Lu Miaoge in the midst of her Foundation Establishment, he figured Lu Yuanzhong wouldn’t dare to activate the Great Formation against enemies. Once the Great Formation was used against enemies, the flow of nature’s spiritual energy within Qingzhu Mountain would be sure to severely affect Lu Miaoge’s Foundation Establishment. Meanwhile, inside the cave dwelling. "They’re still coming, huh?" Lu Changsheng lifted his head gently, looking through the cave to the outside. He turned to Lu Miaoge and said, "Sister Miaoge, focus on your Foundation Establishment; I’ll be right back." As his voice faded, he transformed into an Escape Light and appeared at the gates of the Lu Family estate. "Great Elder!" "Changsheng!" Family elders and Lu Yuanding, who were guarding the gate, immediately called out upon seeing Lu Changsheng. "Uncle Yun, father-in-law." Dressed in a green robe and holding a fan made of black fine iron, Lu Changsheng greeted them both with a slight nod of his head. He then addressed the guarding elder, "Uncle Yun, would you mind opening the Formation for me?" With the Qingzhu Mountain’s Great Formation in full lockdown, he needed it opened to leave. "Open the Formation?" "Changsheng, please, don’t be rash!" Uncle Yun and Lu Yuanding were taken aback when they heard this. They immediately understood what Lu Changsheng intended to do and shouted out. "Father-in-law, I’m not being impulsive; trust me," Lu Changsheng said calmly. "Hm?" Lu Yuanzhong, hovering above, saw this unfold and immediately sent a telepathic message to Lu Changsheng, "Changsheng, you mustn’t act impulsively." Then, looking down at the three figures outside, he continued to speak with a cold voice, "Do you really intend to push me too far? Looking for a fight to the death, are we?" However, the three Yu Family members ignored him and continued to launch their full force at the Lu Family’s Great Formation. This left everyone in the Lu Family feeling angry and frustrated. "Ancestor, let Uncle Yun open the Great Formation; believe me, I’m confident," Lu Changsheng continued, clearly unwilling to waste time with too much talk. If it weren’t for the presence of the Lu Family’s Great Formation, he would simply tear open a breach with a Talisman Formation, specifically a Second Rank Barrier-Breaking Talisman. "Nephew Yun Yang?" Lu Yuanzhong also realized he wasn’t going to easily force the three men to retreat, and turned to Bai Yunyang. "This…" Bai Yunyang’s face showed a hint of struggle. His main purpose in coming was to be a deterrent, to plunder the formation. Naturally, he was unwilling to leave Qingzhu Mountain and engage in combat. After all, as the Bai Family Ancestor, his severe injury would put the Bai Family in jeopardy. Moreover, he had a guess about the identity of the three individuals outside. They were likely from the Yu Family at the Foundation Establishment stage. Patriarch of the Yu Family, Yu Jinyang, was a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, and his strength was frightening. Both he and Lu Changsheng had only recently broken through to Foundation Establishment; with Lu Yuanzhong still in a severely wounded state, they were no match for Yu Jinyang’s trio. If he were to go out now, his life could be in danger. "Ancestor!" Lu Changsheng continued to urge with an unquestionable attitude. "Fine, Changsheng, I’ll go out with you," Lu Yuanzhong finally said after a moment of hesitation. "If anything seems off, you must immediately return to the Great Formation!" Seeing Lu Changsheng’s resolute demeanor, Lu Yuanzhong struggled for a moment but ultimately decided, planning to buy Lu Changsheng time if real danger presented itself. Since Lu Changsheng had been willing to give the Foundation Establishment Elixir to Lu Miaoge, it showed his wholehearted commitment to the Lu Family. Regardless of whether Lu Miaoge managed to establish her foundation successfully, as long as he and Lu Miaoge were there, the Lu Family would have no worries. Rather than sitting and waiting for death, he’d rather drag someone down with him! "Open the Great Formation!" Lu Yuanzhong instructed the elder controlling the Great Formation telepathically. Instantly, the gates of the Formation were opened. "Shoo!" Lu Changsheng transformed into an Escape Light, flying out and appearing above Qingzhu Mountain. "How audacious!" "Heaven offers you a path, yet you choose the one to hell!" "Lu Changsheng, you’re truly courting death!" Explore hidden tales at freewebnovel The three Yu Family members, attacking Qingzhu Mountain, shouted when they saw him acting this way. They saw Lu Changsheng’s behavior as arrogant, showing no regard for them. This, however, made the trio even more cautious. "Changsheng, be careful!" "Great Elder!" "Changsheng!" "Husband!" Back on Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Yuanzhong, Lu Yuanding, and other Lu Family disciples witnessed this scene. Seeing Lu Changsheng rush out to face three Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators without waiting for Lu Yuanzhong, their expressions changed dramatically as they shouted. Lu Yuanzhong immediately transformed into an Escape Light and followed. Bai Yunyang clenched his teeth and, in the end, also became an Escape Light and flew out. However, at this very moment, Lu Changsheng faced the three Foundation Establishment cultivators with an indifferent and calm demeanor. "Swhoosh, swhoosh, swhoosh—" Hundreds of talismans streamed out from his sleeves, spreading to the four corners of heaven and earth, encircling the trio. At the same time, the fan of black fine iron flew from his hand. It transformed into three thousand six hundred ninety-nine true signatures, positioning themselves according to the talisman locations, sealing this part of the world. "Not good!" "So many talismans, be careful!" "No, it’s a Talisman Formation, quick, break the formation!" Seeing such an array of talismans, Yu Jinyang and his companions were shocked. Although they had never seen a talismanic formation technique. But this sudden deployment of hundreds of talismans arranged in the sky. Apart from the legendary Talisman Formation, what other technique could control so many talismans? "The Ninety-Nine Wind-Fire-Thunder Talisman Array!!" Lu Changsheng’s expression remained calm and indifferent as his Mental Spirit moved. In an instant, nine Second Rank Middle Grade talismans, thirty-six Second Rank Lower Grade talismans, and two hundred fifty-six First Grade talismans were all simultaneously activated. These talismans, connected with the ninety-nine true signatures, and the rotation of the five elements within the Wind-Fire Wheels, enveloped the area in darkness, seeming to turn this piece of the void into dust. ```
