``` "Congratulations, Lu Daoist. Now that the matter is settled, I shall not stay long and will make my way back first." As the dust settled on the issue, Bai Yunyang bid farewell to Lu Changsheng with clasped hands, indicating his intention to return to Hundred Birds Lake. "White Daoist has worked hard on this trip. Once the matter is fully dealt with, we will find time to drink and celebrate together!" Lu Changsheng clasped his hands slightly toward Bai Yunyang and said with a smile. Although Bai Yunyang hadn’t exerted too much effort on this trip, such an affair, for someone to willingly offer assistance and show their stance, was already quite commendable. In response, he was willing to reciprocate the kindness. Moreover, he had long thought out his own family’s path. His main focus was to avoid strife, make wide connections, and believe that harmony brings wealth! "Good, when Lu Daoist establishes your family’s grand ceremony, I will definitely come to observe the ceremony and join you for a drink and a chat!" Upon hearing this, Bai Yunyang immediately responded with clasped hands and a smile. In his expression and words, however, he couldn’t help but convey a measure of respect and awe. Although everyone was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, there were still differences between individuals! The Lu Changsheng before him, who single-handedly killed three Foundation Building Great Cultivators, how could he not feel a deep sense of reverence toward him. He felt fortunate that he had befriended Lu Changsheng on this trip. Otherwise, with the combination of Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao, which neighboring family or power wouldn’t live in apprehension? Having said that, he also clasped hands towards Ling Zixiao and Lu Yuanzhong and bid them farewell aloud. "Daoist Bai, take care." "Nephew Bai, go slowly." Ling Zixiao and Lu Yuanzhong nodded slightly. "Screech!" The next moment, Bai Yunyang released a black Flying Eagle from his Spiritual Pet Bag at the Energy Refinement Late Stage, and rode away on it. "Zi Xiao, are you alright?" After watching Bai Yunyang leave, Lu Changsheng approached Ling Zixiao, took her fair wrist, and checked on her condition. He had always been aware of Ling Zixiao’s physical condition. Although she had recovered considerably after more than a year of care, the atrophy of her meridians and Dantian had not been resolved. If she used too much mana, it would injure her meridians and Dantian! Just now, Ling Zixiao’s effort to break the formation would certainly have placed a certain load on her meridians and Dantian. "Husband, it’s nothing serious." Ling Zixiao conveyed to Lu Changsheng through a message, speaking in a soft tone. However, as Lu Changsheng held Ling Zixiao’s wrist to examine her condition, he immediately saw that her meridians and Dantian were under severe strain, a total mess. If it continued, there was fear of meridian damage. Instantly, he understood that Ling Zixiao had actually reached her limit just now and had been bluffing Yu Ninghu. With her current condition, she was truly unable to continue using mana to break formations. "Changsheng, someone needs to be stationed in the family, Miaoge is still at Foundation Establishment, shall I go back first?" At that moment, Lu Yuanzhong spoke to Lu Changsheng from the side. With the issue of Blue Lake Mountain settled. In his view, having Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao stationed there was sufficient. Now that Qingzhu Mountain was in a vulnerable state, protected only by the Great Formation, he had to get back early. "Good, Old Ancestor, you have worked hard on this matter." "You take Miaoyun and the others back first, leave a few elder family members skilled in dealing with affairs, and they will take over the Yu Family affairs with me later," said Lu Changsheng, nodding to Lu Yuanzhong. Since Ling Zixiao was currently unwell, needing proper care and healing, he planned to settle down in Blue Lake Mountain. He would wait for the Yu Family to complete their relocation and handle their affairs. But he was not very adept at dealing with family affairs, so he needed a few people to help. "Good." Lu Yuanzhong, upon hearing this, immediately arranged for several people to stay behind at Blue Lake Mountain with Lu Changsheng. "Yun’er, Huanhuan, you two follow the Old Ancestor back first, and I will come to pick you up later," Lu Changsheng said, advancing towards his wives Lu Miaoyun and Lu Miaohuan. "Husband, be careful." The two women nodded in response. Looking towards Lu Changsheng, there was also a newfound reverence in their eyes. As his wives, they thought they were quite familiar with Lu Changsheng. But Lu Changsheng’s actions and performance that day made them realize that they did not really understand their husband as much as they thought. "Hmm, be careful as well," he responded. "Huanhuan, keep that puppet for self-defense," said Lu Changsheng in a gentle voice, knowing his wife had many questions in her mind. But, such matters were not something he had time to explain right now. After speaking, he looked towards the children on the Spirit Boat and called out, "Xianzhi, Yun’er, Xiaoru, you three stay behind and help the family elders with the Blue Lake Mountain affairs later." Lu Changsheng spoke to his sons Lu Xianzhi, Lu Yun, and his daughter Lu Xiaoru. Once Blue Lake Mountain was fully taken over, he naturally wanted to place his children in charge. Now that Lu Xianzhi and a few other people had arrived, he wanted them to get acquainted with the situation first. "Yes, Father!" The three children responded, some excited and pleased. This caused other children and Lu Family Disciples to look at them with some envy. After that, Lu Changsheng and others settled in with the Yu Family. During this time, Lu Changsheng wasn’t worried about the Yu Family causing any trouble. After all, the control of Blue Lake Mountain’s Great Formation was now in the hands of Ling Zixiao. Moreover, if it really came down to a fight, he alone could wipe out all of the Yu Family members. Shortly after, Lu Changsheng began healing Ling Zixiao in a room, stabilizing her physical condition. ... Yu Family Ancestral Hall. "Big brother, do we really have to move?" "Ning Hu..." All the core disciples and elders of the Yu Family looked towards Yu Ninghu with faces filled with unwillingness and righteous indignation. "Move!" Yu Ninghu spoke with a calm and indifferent expression. Discover hidden content at freewebnovel "Now that the Old Ancestor is gone, and the situation is beyond our control, what else can we do if we don’t move? Do you really want to fight to the death?" "If fighting to the death could avenge our Old Ancestor, I, Yu Ninghu, would naturally not be afraid!" "But... that would be nothing more than a needless sacrifice." "Our Yu Family history records that three hundred years ago, our ancestors rose from a small Energy Refinement family step by step, broke through to Foundation Establishment, seized Blue Lake Mountain, and established the Blue Lake Mountain Yu Family!" ```
