Chapter 219: Chapter 116: Lu Changsheng, Do You Know What Happened to My Sister?_1
 

Three days later.

Lu Changsheng took the Flying Boat of the Second Elder from Nine Dragons Market back to Qingzhu Mountain.

This time, Lu Changsheng didn’t bring Xiao Qing.

One reason was that, compared to Qingzhu Mountain, Nine Dragons Market was now much safer.

Another was that the Flying Boat simply couldn’t accommodate any more passengers.

Not only was it filled with people, but there was also someone riding an Iron Feather Eagle alongside the boat.

“Lu Changsheng, do you know what’s wrong with my sister? The last time I saw her, I felt that something was odd.”

Lu Miaohuan was also on the Flying Boat and inquired of Lu Changsheng through a transmitted message.

“What seemed odd?”

Lu Changsheng asked, keeping a straight face when he heard this.

“I’m not sure. I just felt that she has been acting strange since she got hurt last time.”

Lu Miaohuan wrinkled her nose, unable to specify what exactly was off.

But as a sister, she could sense the changes in her older sister.

Then, out of curiosity, she asked, “By the way, Lu Changsheng, how did you treat my sister’s injuries? I heard that she was seriously injured, at death’s door.”

“I happened to come across a life-saving Elixir Medicine before, and the Changchun Technique I practice is somewhat helpful in healing injuries,”

“So I barely managed to stabilize Miss’s condition.”

Lu Changsheng said without so much as flushing or skipping a heartbeat.

This was the story he and Lu Miaoge agreed upon.

Moreover, long ago he had announced that he had switched to practicing the “Changchun Technique.”

Given that he had always maintained the appearance of being in his twenties,

And with so many wives and concubines, constantly fathering children, it was quite normal for him to choose a cultivation technique that extended his life.

Hearing this, Lu Miaohuan didn’t think much of it.

She continued to talk with Lu Changsheng about various everyday matters and mentioned the current situation of the Lu Family.

Lu Changsheng had nothing better to do and engaged in casual conversation with the Second Miss.

The Spirit Boat flew swiftly across the sky.

Just then, abruptly.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

Four streaks of light soared into the sky, cutting through the air and shooting toward them.

Three of them blocked the path of the Flying Boat.

One aimed for the Iron Feather Eagle beside it.

“This is bad!”

The Second Elder’s face changed dramatically as he saw this, and he shouted angrily.

He stimulated the Flying Boat’s defensive array, creating a thick, earthy-yellow light barrier.

And he also brought out a blue triangular flag which buzzed and produced a light blue watery light barrier, enveloping the Flying Boat directly.

“Screech!”

However, the Iron Feather Eagle, unable to avoid the streaks of light, let out a mournful cry.

Blood splattered from its belly, and its wings flapped chaotically.

This caused Lu Yuanhua, who was riding on the eagle, to pale.

A jade bamboo staff appeared in the Second Elder’s hands as he swept up Lu Yuanhua onto the Flying Boat, his face grave as he shouted loudly.

“Who are you rogues, daring to ambush the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain?”

His voice was cold and sonorous, dripping with authority.

On this return trip, he had been vigilant the entire time.

And although he had changed the original route, they still encountered an ambush.

“Hmph, it’s precisely the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain that we are ambushing! Let’s end this quickly!”

Four masked figures, maneuvering their Flying Artifacts, said in raspy voices.

They immediately drove their artifacts, casting spells and Talismans, attacking the Flying Boat.

“Yuanhua, you take control of the Flying Boat and hurry back to Qingzhu Mountain with everyone. Leave this to me!”

The Second Elder quickly instructed the Lu Family manager.

He then took out another Flying Artifact, stepped off the Flying Boat, and crushed a Talisman, turning it into a Golden Light Barrier around his body, wielding the bamboo staff to intercept the four assailants.

“Alright!”

Lu Yuanhua promptly took over control of the Flying Boat without further words.

He could tell at a glance that the four Robber Cultivators had come prepared.

All possessing the strength of the Energy Refinement Late Stage.

And among their group, aside from the Second Elder, only he was at the Seventh Level of Energy Refinement.

The rest only possessed Middle Stage Energy Refinement strength.

In such a situation, their side was clearly at a disadvantage.

“Second Elder, take care!”

After Lu Yuanhua took control of the Flying Boat, he immediately steered it, carrying everyone, and flew swiftly towards Qingzhu Mountain.

“I’ll hold them off, you three take the Flying Boat and quickly kill those Lu Family youngsters, especially that Lu Family Talisman Master!”

One of the four masked figures, the apparent leader with a raspy voice, instructed.

He then charged at the Second Elder, “Lu Yunhan, I’m eager to see how you’re going to stop us!”

“You know me, but who sent you here?”

The Second Elder’s face was grim as he cast a green rainbow light from his jade bamboo staff, attempting to hold back the four.

But the speaking masked figure also slapped a giant palm, summoning a red pearl, with fiery light swirling around it. A fierce wind then arose, with flames engulfing the Second Elder.

Seeing this, the other three masked figures immediately brought out a Flying Boat.

They then boarded the Flying Boat and chased after Lu Changsheng and the others.

“Damn it!”

The Second Elder, recognizing the dire situation that they were fully prepared for the ambush, knew their target was the younger generation.

But at that moment, he had no way to protect everyone and could only watch unwillingly as the pursuers chased after his family’s Flying Boat.

“Could these four be the same four Robber Cultivators who previously ambushed Sister Miaoge?”

Lu Changsheng thought about what Lu Miaoge had said, that her severe injuries were caused by an ambush by four Robber Cultivators.

Now, there were also four assailants who clearly came prepared for the Lu Family, which made him suspect a connection.

However, whether they were the same four or not, at the very least, the situation now looked unfavorable from Lu Changsheng’s perspective.

On the Flying Boat were seven people, apart from Lu Yuanhua who was at the Seventh Level of Energy Refinement.

The other Lu Family Disciples were just at Middle Stage of Energy Refinement.

With a thousand li yet to Qingzhu Mountain,

It seemed difficult for them to reach safety under the pursuit of three Late Stage Energy Refinement Cultivators.

“Boom, boom, boom—”
