Chapter 483: Chapter 248: Return to the Traceless Mountain Range, Intimidating Pei Wuxing [Second Update]
However, at this moment, no one was paying attention to the expressions of the Lu family members, as the spectators’ focus was entirely on the words ’Top-Grade Golden Core’.
What?
The Lu family has produced a Top-Grade Golden Core?
The faces of the many Golden Core Zhenren who were originally there to watch the drama suddenly froze, especially those from families that were comparable to the Lu family. They had disputes with the Lu family on a daily basis, but due to a slight difference in strength, they had always been suppressed by the Lu family.
But now the Lu family has produced a Top-Grade Golden Core Cultivator, and the future balance of power will change dramatically.
A Top-Grade Golden Core Cultivator doesn’t come around once in a thousand years; even the Domain Lord’s Mansion will likely come to hear of this, and the Lu family’s status will rise significantly overnight. If, in a few decades, the Top-Grade Golden Core advances to the middle stage, the entire East Pole Immortal City will bow to the Lu family, and these forces will be completely overshadowed by the Lu family.
As the cultivators worried and envied, He Changyi spoke again, "Lu Feng, hand over the corpses of the He Family!"
"My Lu family has never possessed any corpses of the He Family!" Lu Feng retorted, feeling somewhat at a loss.
He Changyi spoke angrily again, "Your Lu family’s newly advanced Golden Core has already declared it. My He Family’s Zhenren’s corpse is missing, isn’t that because your Lu family has taken it? May I ask everyone here to judge, the Lu family produced a Top-Grade Golden Core Cultivator and expects us to submit.
But Lu family is bullying people too much, even wanting to refine my He Family members into corpses and use them to kill my He Family members. Just as the saying goes, today it is our He Family, tomorrow it may well be someone else present!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Golden Core Cultivators began to stir because He Changyi’s words were indeed very reasonable.
At this moment, He Changyi was secretly delighted. Although He Xiong Wu was lost, He had successfully tainted the Lu family’s reputation and incited other forces to stand against the Lu family. Thus, infiltrating and dismantling the Lu family would likely be much easier.
As for Li Bai, once Master Jue Ying delivers him to the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, it would be a huge merit for the He family. They might even bestow the promised Tier Three Middle-Grade Demon-Breaking Pill in advance.
This would allow the He family to produce a middle-stage Golden Core, making them no longer fear the Lu family, and even using Blood Corpse Mushroom’s strategy to eat away at them piece by piece. Thus considering, He Xiong Wu’s death, in itself, has immense value.
At this moment, an elderly middle-stage Golden Core cultivator spoke coldly.
"Fellow Daoist Lu Feng, just produced a Top-Grade Golden Core and already looking for excuses to destroy the He family, aren’t you being too hasty? My Celestial Essence Pavilion is not as great as the Lu family, but we do not approve of your bullying!"
With him speaking up, other Golden Core Zhenren also began to speak, though all Golden Core cultivators were veterans.
Considering the Lu family has produced a Top-Grade Golden Core, what the future holds is uncertain, so they were mostly attempting to mediate and not as directly challenging as the Pavilion Master of Celestial Essence Pavilion, but regardless, it greatly upset Lu Feng.
"I don’t possess such treasures as the Sanhe Photography Talisman, but the Lu family’s newly advanced Golden Core is currently missing, and Shouren has been poisoned by He Xiong Wu’s Soul Poison, his injury just stabilizing. If you don’t trust us, you may follow me to the Lu family. The He family colluding with the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect to harm our Lu family’s Golden Core was experienced by Shouren personally, since the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect’s demon cultivators possess the root poison of Soul Poison, if it isn’t collusion, why would He Xiong Wu have Soul Poison?"
Lu Feng angrily continued, "Regardless, if you don’t provide an explanation today, my Lu family will never let this go. Even if this escalates to the City Lord’s Mansion or the Domain Lord’s Mansion, my Lu family will not retreat!"
However, at this moment, no matter what Lu Feng said, the Golden Core Zhenren present were unwilling to believe; although Soul Poison is indeed a product of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect.
It still doesn’t prove the He family’s involvement with the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, for who doesn’t own Demon Sect items?
As for the Lu family’s newly advanced Top-Grade Golden Core going missing, he couldn’t believe it either. Many believe it to be the Lu family’s way of protecting this Top-Grade Golden Core. With the emergence of a Top-Grade Golden Core, it’s not just these forces that have murderous intentions, but even the Hidden Demon Sect’s practitioners concealed in the West Mountain Floating Domain would definitely spare no effort to act.
Seeing that nearly no one believed him, and most were supporting the He family, with some even inquiring about the name of the Lu family’s newly advanced Golden Core, Lu Feng became both angry and anxious, his heart filled with regret.
Had he known this, he should have personally gone to the Nightmare Blood Yin Vein.
A deal that should have turned out immensely profitable, yet now, the Lu family has not only lost the Nightmare Blood Yin Vein but also failed to gain even a Fake Pill Cultivator, and has drawn the apprehension of many forces within East Pole Immortal City.
Even if Li Bai were to be found, these forces would certainly employ assassins secretly, leaving no opportunity for the Lu family’s rise.
...
It was another few days.
As the Lu and He families battled fiercely, escalating even to the City Lord’s Mansion, East Spring Undying Bone had already returned to the entrance of Heaven-Reaching River in the Traceless Mountain Range, positioned within a Tier Three Array, directly using the Tier Three Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body to withstand the immediate activation of the Tier Three Killing Array, and counterattacking with Jade Splendor Cyan Wood Divine Thunder.
The Tier Three Killing Array capable of slaying Fake Pill cultivators and contending with Golden Core cultivators, at this moment appeared childish before East Spring Undying Bone, its maneuvers effortlessly neutralized.
However, to provide Chu Ying and Wind and Cloud Immortal City some reaction time, Wen Jiu did not immediately break the array.
He merely unveiled his Golden Core aura.
No matter what offensive came, Wen Jiu merely controlled East Spring Undying Bone to crush it, and within moments, the Killing Array was silenced, revealing the hidden Tier Three Sound Transmission Talisman, accompanied by Chu Ying’s anxious voice.
