300 Yunxiao sect’s stance

Since the two initial enlightenment cultivators were dead, there was nothing to fear from the remaining two.

Fang Ziliang thought that he would have to carry these two initial enlightenment cultivators for a long time. He was prepared to fight to the death and wait for Lu Chaohe and Lu mingling to kill the other two first before coming to help him. He was prepared to risk his life to hold back the two people he was fighting against.

In the end, the two initial enlightenment cultivators who were controlled by Tao Wu died just like that.

He had died too quickly. He had only been able to fight one round with the other party and felt a little bit of pressure before the battle had ended.

Of course, this was a good thing no matter what.

When the two of them saw that their two companions had been killed so quickly, they panicked and immediately prepared to run away.

However, the two of them still couldn’t escape.

Fang Ziliang chased after one of them, while Lu Chaohe captured the other with his gravity divine power.

With Lu mingling’s cooperation, the two of them killed him very smoothly.

In fact, Lu Chaohe could handle it himself. However, if he were to crush his opponent, he would have to use almost all of his gravity divine power, which would consume a lot of his spiritual power. Although he seemed to have an inexhaustible power, since he could achieve the same effect in battle, he would save as much as he could.

As for the last one, they did not choose to kill him.

Lu mingling was in charge of cleaning up the remaining hundred or so Qi refinement and Foundation establishment cultivators in the formation. Lu Chaohe and Fang Ziliang chased after them and captured them with their gravitational divine power. They did not choose to kill them and planned to keep them alive.

They still had to find a way to figure out the identity of the attacker.

However, that fellow, when he was trying to escape earlier, he seemed to be very concerned about his life. But now, he was no longer like that.

A ball of flames suddenly ignited on his body. He was burned to ashes as he screamed.

At the same time, in the array at the spirit vein, the hundreds of cultivators, regardless of their own level, also had flames burning on their bodies. In the end, nothing was left behind.

Lu Qing had a bad feeling when he saw this.

This Kasaya did not seem to be of their own free will. It was more like a restriction placed on these cultivators when they were training suicide soldiers. This restriction was mainly connected to a certain person. When that person felt that things could not be done and could not guarantee that his identity would not be exposed, the restriction would be activated. Everyone within the range of this restriction would be burned by a ball of fire from the inside out and turned into ashes in an extremely short time.

Lu Qing had the intention to stop this process. If he was in his actual body, it would not be a big problem. However, he was only in his consciousness form. All he could do was rely on the exchange tab.

Unfortunately, he did not have an exchange item that could stop them from self-immolating.

Not to mention catching them alive, once they were burned, even their corpses would not be left.

The few people who had been killed by Lu Chaohe earlier had also died without a corpse because of the gravity divine power.

This obviously caused a lot of trouble for them to find a way to investigate the identity of these attackers.

However, this situation itself could also explain some problems. The attacker’s identity was not simple. If it was only a guess before, it was almost certain now.

This was a method that only death Warriors had. To be able to take five initial enlightenment cultivators and over a hundred cultivators of different levels, who were not very high, but were actually of good quality, as a whole team of death Warriors, this force itself was terrifyingly strong.

It was very simple. Did the Lu family have the ability to take out five Qiming men of sacrifice?

That was impossible. The Lu clan did not even have that many initial enlightenment cultivators. In fact, even if the Lu clan and the Qingfeng sect were to join forces, they would not be able to pull off such a huge battle, let alone the Lu clan.

This group of attackers, who were wearing white and unmarked masks, had a crushing advantage over the Lu family’s caravan. Even if Lu Chaohe possessed divine powers and took advantage of his opponent’s carelessness to kill the strongest individual of his opponent with all his might, it would not affect the final outcome.

If it were not for Lu Qing, the ancestor who had the system, helping them, the Lu clan’s caravan would not have had any chance of surviving.

Which force in the entire Yan country had such ability?

The Lu clan and the Qingfeng sect, together, could be considered a feudal lord in the Yan Kingdom. In the entire Yan country, there were only a handful of people who were more powerful than them.

Yunxiao sect was one of them, and they definitely had the ability to do so. There were probably more than a hundred or even two hundred initial enlightenment cultivators in Yunxiao sect. It wasn’t impossible to get five of them to be cannon fodder.

Other than Yunxiao sect, there was only one other party with such ability-the Imperial court of the Yan Kingdom.

He was talking about the entire imperial court, not a single clan.

Lu Qing had wondered if it was the Zhao clan of Yan city.

The relationship between the Lu clan and the Zhao clan in Yan city had been a little strained because of the destruction of the branch of the Zhao clan in ping ‘an city. Two years ago, the Qingfeng sect had snatched the extra spot to enter the reflection in the celestial Palace from the Zhao clan. Later on, it was said that because of this matter, crown prince Li Chengzong had ruthlessly damaged the Zhao clan’s face in court.

There were old and new grudges, so it was normal for them to act hostile.

But even if the Zhao clan had such thoughts, they did not have the strength.

At the very least, based on Lu Qing’s general concept of the forces in the country of Yan, the Zhao family of Yan city definitely did not have such a standard.

In fact, it was still unknown if the Li family could independently create such a force. They would probably have to borrow the power of the entire imperial court and government of Yan country to raise such a team of death soldiers.

Now, there were only two possible targets: Was it the Imperial court or Yunxiao sect?

However, the Lu family had no enmity with the Yunxiao sect, the government, or the Li family! And there was no conflict of interest, right?

But if it wasn’t the two of them, who else could it be?

If he had to choose between the two, Lu Qing would be more inclined to guess that it was the Imperial court.

Yunxiao sect had no reason to kill them. Although it was easier for them to form a team of death Warriors, predict the route, make arrangements in advance, and launch an ambush, what was the motive? Hundreds of thousands of wealth on the ship?

She had never heard of Yunxiao sect being so unrefined. They prided themselves on being a prestigious and authentic sect, so they were still particular about their way of doing things.

Was that the Imperial court?

It didn’t seem to make sense. The Imperial court wouldn’t come to blackmail them just because of this bit of wealth.

While Lu Qing was thinking, the Lu clan had roughly cleaned up the battlefield.

In fact, there was nothing much to clean up. Everything had been burned clean by the self-ignition flames, leaving only a half-destroyed Thunder array, which could barely be regarded as some evidence.

Lu Chaohe was in the middle of a discussion with Fang Ziliang.

The two of them decided to try to repair the flying boat later and leave this place as soon as possible, in case the other party had any follow-up means. That would be troublesome. At the same time, they also planned to report this matter to the prosperous Fortune trading company that they had bought the divine lightning wood from.

This was equivalent to reporting this matter to Yunxiao sect.

Lu Qing thought for a moment and did not stop them from doing so.

It was good to let Yunxiao sect intervene and see what their subsequent reaction was like. It would be more helpful in determining the truth of the matter later on.

This time, the Lu family suffered a loss-although the other party suffered more losses and an elite team was completely annihilated, the Lu family was completely dumbfounded. They were beaten up for nothing and even lost a few people.

He had already taken revenge on the spot, but he still had to find a way to dig out the power behind the scenes.

……

After Sheng Fu restaurant received the Lu family’s report, they placed great importance on this matter.

They reported the matter to Yunxiao sect immediately. Then, Yunxiao sect investigated the scene with the help of the few people left behind by the Lu clan. In a very short time, he had gotten in touch with the main Lu family.

Yunxiao sect’s attitude was very sincere. They directly sent a golden core elder into the Qingfeng sect. His attitude was very polite, and he apologized the moment he opened his mouth.

He would indeed have to take the blame for this. They made a deal of a hundred thousand to nearly two hundred thousand spirit stones in Yunxiao sect’s shop and were robbed on the way back. Regardless of whether it was a success or not, Yunxiao sect would definitely be responsible for this matter.

This gold core elder did not come empty-handed, he even brought some gifts worth more than 10000 spirit stones as a serious apology.

He was not sincere enough.

As they chatted, the other party even expressed that he wanted to meet Lu Qing and express his apology in person.

Lu Qing would definitely not be able to come. It would be too ostentatious to ask the other party to go to Yuyan mountain to see him.

After all, that was Yunxiao sect. The other party’s attitude was low because he was willing to take responsibility. One could not really treat his status as a golden core elder lightly.

Hence, he could only have a ‘video conference’ remotely.

In the illusory mirror, Lu Qing, Lu chaoxi, Li Yanling, and hai Sande were all present.

Yunxiao sect’s golden core elder Chen You said, ” “We’ve investigated the scene in detail, but we couldn’t find out the specific identity of the other party.”

“According to the information your sect sent us, we have some guesses about the ninth level initial enlightenment cultivator who uses white flames. That man might be a cultivator from Jin country. His name was ‘Fan Li’, and he used white fire, which seemed to be a special cultivation technique. This person committed a crime in Jin country and entered our Yan country 30 years ago. He became a wandering individual cultivator and has no morality in his actions. He often kills and plunders, but because his strength is really good, he has never been able to catch Qianqian.”

The four Jindan of the Feiyun state said nothing.

How could he blame it on a wandering cultivator who had committed a crime in Jin and came to Yan?

Who would believe that?

Chen Yu also felt that his words were not reliable enough, and his expression was a little awkward. “We also don’t think that Fan Li did this alone. He couldn’t have easily and quietly gathered such a team of death Warriors in the Yan Kingdom. However, this is at least a clue. The Yunxiao sect’s law-enforcement department is already following this clue. If there is any progress, we will definitely report it to our fellow Daoists in the Feiyun state.”

Then, he said something else. The general meaning of his words was that they would definitely not let such a vicious incident happen within the Yunxiao sect’s sphere of influence. They would investigate it thoroughly and give the Lu family and Qingfeng sect an explanation.

The expressions of the four golden core cultivators of the Feiyun state, including Lu Qing, softened when they heard this.

When Chen Yu said that Fan Li was the leader, the four of them were naturally very upset. This was not something that a wandering cultivator would do. However, towards the end, Yunxiao sect did not shirk their responsibility, and they also expressed that they would investigate to the end, which was enough.

Although the progress was limited, it was still a suicide mission after all. It was conceivable that there were few clues left.

It was already good enough that the Yunxiao sect could do this. Could the Lu family and Qingfeng sect still force the Yunxiao sect to do anything?

“Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you for coming to the Feiyun state,” Lu Qing said slowly.

Hearing this, Chen Yu was more or less relieved.

The Yunxiao sect also slowly began to pay more attention to the Qingfeng sect and the Lu family. This was especially so for Lu Qing. After the news of the battle in the North barren forest had spread throughout the Yan country, he had also become famous. Pulling him, the Lu family, and the Qingfeng sect into their camp and making them closer was the strategy that Yunxiao sect had decided on.

Even if Lu Qing became a nascent soul cultivator, the Feiyun state’s cultivation world that he represented would not be a threat to Yunxiao sect. However, as the number one sect in the Yan Kingdom, they still had to maintain the unity of the cultivation world in the Yan Kingdom.

They wouldn’t support him intentionally, but they wouldn’t suppress him either. Getting closer to each other and becoming closer allies were all sect forces. Advancing and retreating together in Yan country to fight against foreign enemies was the right way.

In fact, he was willing to sell the three pieces of divine Thunder wood to the Lu family and the Qingfeng sect because he wanted to befriend them.

However, he did not expect that a deal that could improve their relationship would turn out like this.

The Lu clan, Qingfeng sect, and Yunxiao sect were furious about being attacked.

Isn’t this a challenge to my authority?

Investigate, they definitely had to investigate.

At the same time, in order to show their respect, they also let Chen You, an elder in the Golden core stage, step in. It was also to tell the Qingfeng sect: This matter really has nothing to do with us. We’ll still be Good Brothers and comrades in the future.

After this exchange, he met the four golden core cultivators in charge of the Feiyun state and had basically achieved his goal.

After staying in the Feiyun state for two months, he began his return journey.

His arrival and attitude made Lu Qing confirm that this matter had nothing to do with Yunxiao sect.

As for whether the Imperial court was behind this, Lu Qing could guess it. Yunxiao sect would naturally have such a guess as well.

However, they did not have any evidence at the moment. It was impossible for them to say this to the Feiyun state. Lu Qing understood this.

After this, he would have to wait and see if the Imperial court would have any reaction.

There was one, and there was one. It was a trusted aide of the Crown Prince, li Chengzong.
