Ancestor Above

Lu Qing followed Lu Mingchao and watched her kill people in Pingyao, and opened the system to check the income just now.

[Two-Star Achievement: Killing the Foundation]

[Accumulated kills of base builders reach 5, reward 250 points of karma]

...

This reward is basically equivalent to the two two-star battle options that Lu Qing just exchanged for no money.

Of course, the used exchange item itself is also a kind of resource. Now that the war is over, he can't just enter the expedition mode to get the battle exchange items, and there are five remaining, so he has to save as much as possible.

However, if the Lu family starts a war with the Zhao family, will the conquest mode be activated for the second time?

Lu Qing is a little inaccurate now.

Before, Lu Qing had also chatted with several principals of the family about the Zhao family. At that time, he and his children basically reached a consensus on the time to start the war, and he had to delay it as much as possible.

The Lu family is currently working on a major project. To upgrade the spiritual veins of Jade Mist, the Lu family has to pay a thousand spiritual stones every year. At the same time, before the upgrade of the spiritual veins is completed, Chaoxi's cultivation is also a thousand spiritual stones every year.

The fixed expenditure of these two thousand spirit stones is quite stressful. In addition to other daily expenses, the Lu family had to spend more than 4,000 spiritual stones every year during this special period of ten years.

This expense cannot be saved at all.

If Lu Chaoxi hadn't decided not to have a salary for the next ten years, and according to the treatment of Qiming monks by ordinary families, it would have cost another thousand spirit stones.

Relatively speaking, the annual income is only 3,500.

Although the Lu family has developed rapidly in recent years, it is inevitable that they have a weak foundation. If it weren't for the 18,000 Spirit Stones brought back from the battlefield, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to carry it at all.

In this case, it is unwise to start a war with the Zhao family.

War is a beast that swallows gold. Although there is no saying in this world that 'the sound of a cannon is a thousand taels of gold', the truth is the same.

Friars fight, especially. Charms and medicinal pills are all consumables, and the key price is high. If one side prepares a few talismans in a fight, the situation will be completely different.

And even if it's a magic weapon,

Although it can be used for a long time, it is really rotten when it is beaten.

The compensation after the death of the monk, the reward after the victory... are all money.

Look at the Battle of Northern Xinjiang. The coalition forces launched tens of thousands of cultivators to fight against the white ghosts in two weeks. It has been fighting for more than a year. It is estimated that millions of spiritual stones were spent by the four major forces headed by Qingfengmen. What about moving bones?

If the Lu family starts a war with the Zhao family now, the family's financial pressure will be very great.

The best option is to drag on for ten years, and when the spiritual veins are upgraded, maybe Lu Mingchao will be enlightened. At that time, Lu Jiashuang will be enlightened, and then wrestle with Zhao, the pressure will be much lighter, and the odds of winning will be much greater.

But people don't act purely rationally.

This incident was caused by the greed of the Zhao family and the resentment of the three qi practitioners of the Lu family. Then the situation escalated further under Zhao Pingliang's identity and uncompromising ridicule. Mingchao killed him until Zhao Pingliang died.

After killing Zhao Pingliang, the whole thing was already bad enough.

Of the seven foundation-building cultivators of the Zhao family, three died in the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, and there were only four left. The most promising and powerful one died again in the hands of the Lu family in Pingyao County.

The news came back to the Zhao family, and the battle was bound to start.

Since we are going to fight anyway, there is no need for appeasement. The Zhao family stationed fourteen monks in Pingyao County all year round and killed them all.

These monks of the Zhao family were not psychologically prepared. When they heard and sensed the movement of the county government, they became alert one by one, but they didn't know what happened, and they didn't run away because of it.

When Ming Chao was in front of him, there was no way to escape.

She first killed the three Zhao family cultivators in the county government, together with five loose cultivators and more than 30 servants who worked for the Lu family.

Then he rode the flying sword and headed to the mansion in the county where the artificial spiritual veins were opened, and the Zhao mansion was here.

Her Shuiyun horse was severely injured by Zhao Pingliang's Jianwan on the spot. When the battle was over, it was dying. Fortunately, she still had a spare flying sword in her hand.

After arriving at the Zhao residence, Ming Chao continued to kill.

The spiritual power she reserves now is actually less than 30% of the sheyday. But dealing with a group of qi cultivators who had no formation and were suddenly attacked would not be a big problem.

In the entire Pingyao County, the most stylish place is the Zhao Mansion. The area here is large, and there are currently seven qi cultivators from the Zhao family, fifteen loose cultivators who follow the orders of the Zhao family and follow the Zhao family, and hundreds of Zhao family servants.

Lu Mingchao took out her Cloud Gathering Transfer Gu cup, converted a large swath of poisonous mist, and swayed it down. Those hundreds of mortals died not long after they were exposed to the poisonous mist. Even those who were relatively weak in the Qi refining stage could not last long under the poisonous mist.

A young qi cultivator jumped out, scolding as he ran out: "Where is the thief? How dare you go to Zhao Mansion to be so daring?! Are you tired of living!"

Lu Mingchao recognized the identity of this person. He was Zhao Qingan, the son of Zhao Pingsong. She even vaguely remembered that Lu Mingsi was injured when he was selling horses, and this guy was behind it.

With a cold snort, the Cuifeng Shiqing Sword carried a azure light, and in an instant, the sword light flashed back and forth a few times, and Zhao Qingan was divided into seven or eight pieces of meat, and even his soul was annihilated.

There are individual qi cultivators who have the ability and did not die in the poisonous mist. How can they not be afraid when they see this scene? They can't fly, they can only show their magical powers and find a way to escape.

But how could he outrun Lu Mingchao?

The Cuifeng Shiqing Sword and the Yin-Binding Lishui Cable were the two major means of killing the enemy.

When Bie Yin Li Shui Suo is dealing with these qi cultivators, it is not just a control effect. It can easily take away the magic weapon, then wrap it around the neck, and lift it up with Ming Chao's gesture, and it can be People hang in the air. The qi cultivator who was hanged up, struggled for a while, and soon died.

In this way, in less than an hour, Ming Chao killed all the movable things in Zhao's residence, and did not let one go.

Afterwards, she visited several other places in the city, caught the three other Zhao family members alive one by one, and killed them all.

Until dawn, the Zhao family cultivator was dead. In addition to these fourteen people, along with some loose cultivators and servants who have been with the Zhao family all the year round, Ming Chao saw it and killed them together.

Over one night, at least one hundred and fifty people died in Lu Mingchao's hands. Among them, the cultivators added up to nearly forty, and the rest were mortal servants in the Zhao residence.

In terms of monks alone, there are at least a hundred monks living here in Pingyao County all year round, and nearly half of them have been killed.

Those who are still alive are basically ordinary casual cultivators who usually get closer to the Lu family, or don't participate in the rivalry between the two families at all.

Now, they are extremely thankful that their position is correct.

At the same time, this day was called 'Pingyao Bloody Night' by the monks in Pingyao, and Lu Mingchao also got the nickname 'Blood Girl' after this night.

...

The next morning, Lu Tinghua brought Ming Si and Mei Ting into the city. After learning what happened last night, he was shocked and reacted quickly.

On the one hand, the Zhao family's treasury was washed first, and more than 700 spiritual stones were found in this wave.

In addition, ten monks from the Lu family came down from Jade Mist Mountain, occupying a key position in the city, at least ensuring the operation of the town.

At the same time, the Lu family also began to appease the remaining loose cultivators under Pingyao.

There is a lot to do and time is tight. On the mountain, Lu Chaoxi heard about his sister's massacre in Pingyao, and quickly woke Chaohe up. Lu Chaohe could only hurriedly end the retreat, went down the mountain to Pingyao County, and began to arrange the formation.

This is pure preparation for war.

When setting up the magic circle, when he saw his sister, there was some blame in his tone.

He felt that Lu Mingchao's methods last night were a little too cruel. He just killed the monks, there was no need to slaughter mortals, even the servants of the Zhao family.

Ming Chao also recognized it.

She was really red-eyed last night.

After dawn, she had some regrets. Those mortal servants are indeed somewhat innocent.

But on second thought, they were also doing things for the Zhao family. When the Zhao family was big, these Zhao servants also showed off their power in Pingyao. Since they have enjoyed the dividends, when the Zhao family falls, it may be the price they have to pay to be buried with them.

Chaohe was also helpless, and just said, "This matter will be very bad for your reputation."

"It doesn't matter." Ming Chao said, "I will kill the people who should be killed in the future."

"Ugh……"

...

Such a big thing happened, and the whole city knew it that night, it must be hidden. Ten days later, basically everyone in Anling County with a little more information knew what happened in Pingyao.

Everyone's eyes turned to Zhao.

Zhao Shi must have reacted.

In the city of Anling County, they invited various clans in various counties, some well-known loose cultivators, and even some people from other counties, to hold a conference.

At the meeting, they announced what Lu Mingchao had done in Pingyao County ten days ago, adding fuel to it, portraying her as a murderous madman, and then swearing revenge.

This approach is straightforward and cunning.

But people with a heart can see it, and the suspicion of splashing dirty water is very big. Words such as 'innumerable, hard to write', 'evil is full of overflowing', and 'blood flow into rivers' are often used, as if Lu Mingchao slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in the county...

"It seems that if Zhao Pingliang killed Lu Mingchao and Lu Xueting on the spot, he would not have wiped out the Lu family's forces in Pingyao overnight."

Many people think this way.

However, no one jumped out to sing the opposite tune of the Zhao family at this time. Even many of their allies in Anling County acted as trustees at the meeting, and their clamor was quite inflammatory.

In the end, the Zhao family gathered at the gate of the city outside the city gate of Anling County, and hundreds of cultivators from the Zhao family, as well as the three surviving cultivators Zhao Zhengke, gathered at the gate of the city, ready to set off.

A decent-looking old man with white hair and beard stood in front of them.

"Senior Brother Qiu, what advice do you have?" Zhao Zhengke walked up and asked with hands.

"Brother Zhao, I'm afraid that the sect will not be happy with such a big fight." Qiu Wanyong is here to persuade.

Hearing Qiu Wanyong's persuasion, Zhao Zhengke said with an angry smile, "Then what Senior Brother Qiu meant, did you call me the Zhao family?"

"that's not what it means……"

"No need to say any more!" Zhao Zhengke interrupted sharply, "The Lu family is in Pingyao County, killing my clan, humiliating my lintel, and not repaying this revenge, how can I, Zhao clan, stand in this Anling?"

Qiu Wanyong was so rude to speak, and it was difficult to keep his attitude mild: "What kind of thing will the sect take the lead, act privately, provoke a fight, what does it look like?"

"Could it be our Zhao family who started the fight? The bones of the fifteen members of my Zhao family haven't been recovered yet! Let me stop? That's okay, let Lu Mingchao and the Lu family send fourteen monks to bind their hands. I'm Ping'an County"

"Don't pretend that I don't know! What happened that day was your Zhao family abandoning righteousness first, and Zhao Pingliang, who once killed the Lu clan with his own hands, made provocative words. It is also wrong for the Lu family to be too aggressive, but everything is right and wrong. It's up to you to solve it in private!"

"Senior Brother Qiu, do you have to stop me today?"

"Yes." Qiu Wanyong said, "If you think about it, knock me to the ground right here!"

Zhao Zhengke stared at him, but in the end he didn't do anything.

Qiu Wanyong is not as strong as him. If he does it, he is at least 80% sure that he can defeat Qiu Wanyong without hurting his life.

But this is a bit too big. Zhao started to overthrow the Qiming monk in the sect. What is the concept?

Zhao Zhengke hated him greatly, this Qiu Wanyong!

But how? Qiu Wanyong's attitude is too firm,

"I wrote down what happened today! I will report it to the sect, and you will be punished!"

Zhao Zhengke didn't dare to do anything, so he could only say a cruel word, and then lead people to withdraw.

Qiu Wanyong breathed a sigh of relief.

Why didn't he panic?

Qiu Wanyong was the head of Qingfengmen in Anling County, and he didn't usually take care of too many things. Ordinary things, the people below will naturally deal with it. Qingfengmen speaks out in the entire Feiyun Prefecture, and no one will think about it and provoke the prestige of the sect.

But today, this matter has become a big one, and he has to come forward.

Feiyun Prefecture has a total of nearly 30 Qiming cultivators. In the battle of Northern Xinjiang a year ago, although there was one more Lu Chaoxi, five people were killed in action, and one sixth of the Qiming cultivators in the entire prefecture were killed or injured.

Qiming monk is the backbone of the whole state's cultivation world, Qingfengmen is not willing to let anyone die, even if it is not the sect's Qiming.

From the view of Qingfengmen, all the families in Feiyun Prefecture are their vassals and part of their own power. For example, the Zhao family and the Lu family, if there is something wrong with the sect, they can be recruited.

They fight each other, no matter who wins or loses, Qingfengmen don't want to see it. This is equivalent to a civil war.

If another Qiming cultivator were to die, it would be even more blood loss.

As the head of the sect in Anling County, Qiu Wanyong naturally had the responsibility to prevent the two sides from fighting.

But if it were the other two families, it would be fine. He Qiu Wanyong was a monk on the fourth floor of Qiming, and he represented Qingfengmen. Which family would dare to be disobedient?

But it happens to be the Zhao family...

Zhao Zhengke himself is the sixth floor of Qiming, stronger than Qiu Wanyong. Moreover, the Zhao family's influence in the sect is also great.

The Zhao family has always been polite to Qiu Wanyong, but they are not like other families, saying what they say is what they say.

Today, he can be considered to give up.

Otherwise, if Zhao Zhengke really wants to take the Zhao family cultivators out of the nest, and go to Pingyao to fight the Lu family to fight a life-and-death battle, then he is afraid that he will suffer a severe death in the sect.

Now, no matter what, he stopped Zhao Zhengke, and he did everything he could to fulfill his responsibilities.

For the rest, it depends on how the sect handles it, and there is not much he can manage.

"The Lu family... the Zhao family... Hmph, none of them are worry-free!" Qiu Wanyong complained in his heart.

Back at the county house, he summoned a small sword, wrote a letter, waved it out, and hurriedly flew south.

This is a flying sword specially used to transmit letters, and it can travel 100,000 miles a day. In this way, it is possible to get in touch with the sect as soon as possible.

...

Qingfeng Gate, Heliang Mountain.

Zhang Shiman brought back to Zongmen two days before Lu Wenen was waiting for something.

The two of them sat on the futon, until a short scream came from the sky, and the two of them were moved.

After a while, the door of the quiet room in front of him opened, and a young-looking woman in a gorgeous navy blue palace robe came out.

"Master, but there is a letter coming?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Qiu stopped Zhao Zhengke outside Anling City."

"That's good."

Lu Wenen also kowtowed deeply: "Thank you, Master!"

"You're welcome." The woman looked at Lu Wenen and said, "It's just that Lu Mingchao of your family acted too harshly, and she was the one who made the move first, and the sect will make a decision on this later. This kind of thing, I don’t want to intervene, so let’s see when the time comes.”

Ming Chao belonged to Wen En's great-grandfather's generation, he couldn't say anything, he could only kowtow again.

"I'll go first." The woman in the palace uniform raised her hand, and a cloud of auspicious clouds rose from under her feet, supporting her body and flying away into the distance.

After she walked away, Lu Wenen kowtowed to Zhang Shiman again: "Thank you Master for your help this time."

Zhang Shiman shook his head and said, "I didn't do much, I just reported the matter. This matter involves Old Ancestor Hai and Old Ancestor Zhao, don't talk about me, even if my master is not too much More say."

Lu Wenen was silent.

The woman in the palace dress just now, named Li Yanling, was born in a loose cultivator, but when she was a teenager, she was found to be Shan Linggen, who was taken into the sect by Hai Sande and taught by Hai Sande himself. Now one hundred and eighty years old, he is already a monk on the ninth floor of Qiming.

She is also Zhang Shiman's master, that is, Lu Wen'en's master.

Lu Wenen heard that Li Yanling tried to form a golden pill ten years ago, but he failed and hurt some vitality.

But even though she has experienced failure, she is still a promising figure. Li Yanling is still young, she has at least a hundred years left, and she can hit it once or twice.

During the bloody night in Pingyao, Wen En was still on Jade Mist Mountain, making preparations before departure. After the news came back, the Lu family made a decisive decision and sent Wen En back to the sect first.

On the way to Anling City to take the flying boat, Uncle Ming Ling, who had just established the foundation, personally sent him here. After disguising and dressing up, he just entered Anling County City, and then took the fastest flying boat to the sect.

At this time, Zongmen had already received news from Pingyao.

But Wen En felt that there was still a place to work hard.

So, he found his master Zhang Shiman and asked for help.

Unable to bear the disciple's request, Zhang Shiman wrote a letter to her own master Li Yanling.

In fact, she didn't have any hope at all, and she herself didn't intend to wade in this muddy water.

But who knows, her master actually came to Heliang Mountain in person, told her about it, and passed a flying sword in person, saying that it was given to Qiu Wanyong of Anling County, explaining the matter and the attitude of the sect.

Now, Zongmen has not made a decision on this matter, but there is a premise: the two families, especially Lu Chaoxi and Zhao Zhengke, cannot fight, at least temporarily.

It was the attitude of the sect, and Li Yanling's flying sword, that made Qiu Wanyong go outside the gate of Anling City, and even stopped the Zhao family's team.

This matter, Zhang Shiman was very surprised at first. But during the long time waiting for news outside the door, she slowly figured out the doorway.

Looking at the well-behaved and silent disciple, Zhang Shiman hesitated for a while, but decided to continue to reveal a little more:

"Wen En, you have to understand that even in the sect, not everyone is of one mind."

"My Qingfeng Sect, from the outer sect disciple to the inner sect, to the true biography, up to the golden elixir down to the ordinary Qi practice, also have their own different positions."

"Some are from a loose cultivator, some are from an aristocratic clan; some rely entirely on teacher's inheritance and personal efforts, and some have a family behind them; they are also cultivators from a family, and some are enemies like your Lu Zhao family, and there are also family generations. OK..."

"Looking at the ancestors of Zhao, many sect monks of the Zhao family, as well as many families who are well-connected with the Zhao family, will worship in this vein. However, as the ancestors of Zhao grow older, the Zhao family will become older. The longevity is coming to an end, and the decline is gradually revealed. Ancestor Hai was born in Raochang County, Beihai County, and the Hai clan has also been inherited for hundreds of years in Beihai.

"You and I, master and apprentice, although there is not much entanglement with the sect on weekdays, it should be noted that we are also monks from the ancestors of the sea."

"There is another lineage, which is inherited from the master Kong's fellow Taoist. It is mainly based on loose cultivation and master-apprentice inheritance, and there are few cultivation families."

"Zhao Laozu's lineage and Hai Laozu's lineage don't say how much they are opposed to each other. It's just that because of the different cultivating families they represent, there is a sense of competition."

"This time, I'm afraid it's these things again... Alas, this is the most annoying thing for teachers on weekdays, and I moved to this Heliang Mountain, and I couldn't avoid it!"

Lu Wenen has been in the door for more than ten years, and he has heard some of these things, but it is definitely not as detailed as Zhang Shiman's point.

Hearing this, he could only say to Zhang Shiman: "The disciple is not filial, and the master is embarrassed."

"Forget it, forget it." Zhang Shiman still couldn't hide the irritability on his face, "I am a descendant of the ancestors of Haipao, and if I escaped this time, I can't escape the next time, so let's do it for now. Follow-up Pingyao It's hard to say how things will develop."

This chapter is 6,000 words, and the regular 4,000-word updates are all included, and the extra 2,000 is counted as one more update, and there are still 23 chapters left.

It's definitely gone at seven o'clock. I'll see if I can write another chapter to add more at night!
