Chapter 232: Chapter 120: No, Lu Lang! _2
In a desperate struggle like a cornered beast, they staked everything in a fight to the death, hoping to take down Lu Yuanzhong and plunge his Lu Family into crisis.
After all, the Lu Family Ancestor’s time was almost up.
For the sake of Lu Yuanzhong’s Foundation Establishment and this battle, the Lu Family had expended a great deal.
They no longer had the ability to cultivate a second Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Therefore, Lu Yuanzhong absolutely could not have any mishaps.
“Ancestor…”
Lu Yuanzhong was visibly moved.
He knew in his heart that the Ancestor had already resolved to face death in this battle.
He was prepared to gamble with his life to kill Ancestor Chen.
Otherwise, they couldn’t possibly have convinced the Bai Family Ancestor to come and join this battle with so many people.
Because once a family war like this began, it was essential to slay Ancestor Chen, this Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
If not, letting Ancestor Chen, a Foundation Building Great Cultivator, escape would result in endless troubles for both the Chen and Bai families.
“Lu Old Ghost, Bai Old Ghost, do you really want to bring ruin to both our families?”
As the Great Formation’s Spiritual Light dimmed in Red Leaf Valley, a streak of light emerged, exuding a terrifying aura of spiritual pressure.
It was Ancestor Chen.
He quickly took command of the Second Rank Great Formation at Qingzhu Mountain.
The once dimming light, under the siege, now burst forth, shaping like an upside-down crystal bowl, indestructible.
“The fish may die, but the net may not break,” the Lu Family Ancestor said with an indifferent expression.
Then he shouted loudly, “Talisman to break the ban, break the Formation!”
At his command,
immediately, the Cultivators of the Lu Family and Bai Family in the late stage of Energy Refinement each sacrificed a First Grade talisman towards the weakest part of the Formation.
The giant bowl that had just burst into light, looking like an upside-down crystal, abruptly became less luminous.
“Lu Family’s Lu Yuanzhong, you’ve actually broken through to Foundation Establishment!”
At this moment, Ancestor Chen saw Lu Yuanzhong standing next to the Lu Family Ancestor, his eyes narrowed sharply.
The Chen Family and Lu Family were mortal enemies, so he naturally knew about the Lu Family.
He was aware of who had the potential to break through to Foundation Establishment.
He recognized Lu Yuanzhong at a glance and saw that he had achieved Foundation Establishment.
“Lu Old Ghost, I didn’t expect that before your death, your Lu Family would actually produce a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!”
Ancestor Chen looked at the Lu Family Ancestor with a sullen face and spoke.
He had thought that in a few more years, the Lu Family Ancestor would die.
Unexpectedly, at this crucial moment, the Lu Family had a new Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
He also understood that the Lu and Bai families came fully prepared, clearly intending to destroy his Chen Family today.
If the Formation was breached, not only would the Chen Family be doomed,
facing the encirclement of three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he would hardly escape calamity.
“Old Ghost Chen, do you really believe my Chen Family is so easily bullied?”
Ancestor Chen let out a cold laugh, his expression extremely calm.
He immediately transmitted a message, “Meng friend, please assist!”
In a short while, a streak of light flew through the sky, transforming into a skinny young man.
“Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!”
“How is this possible, how did the Chen Family also have a second Foundation Establishment Cultivator!”
“No, this person isn’t from the Chen Family!”
Even though the young man did not emit the pressure of Foundation Establishment, the Lu Family Ancestor, Bai Family Ancestor, and Lu Yuanzhong could tell at a glance that he was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
All their complexions changed instantly.
They dared to come to Red Leaf Valley for this battle, relying on the strength of three Foundation Establishment Cultivators against the only one from the Chen Family.
With a three-to-one advantage, victory seemed certain for them.
However, if it was three against two, slaying Ancestor Chen would become very difficult.
Moreover, in this battle, they had to make a quick decision.
To take down Red Leaf Valley with the swiftness of a thunderbolt.
Otherwise, once the Wugong Ridge Zheng Family received the Chen Family’s call for help and hurried over, they would have no hope of capturing Red Leaf Valley.
“Ancestor.”
“Lu brother, do we fight or retreat?”
Lu Yuanzhong and the Bai Family Ancestor turned to the Lu Family Ancestor, inquiring about his plan.
The three had not anticipated that the Chen Family would have a second Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
For this trip to Red Leaf Valley, the Lu and Bai families had distributed resources to all their disciples, all of which were pure Spirit Stones.
If they failed to capture Red Leaf Valley, it would mean a massive loss for both families.
And now, choosing to retreat would greatly demoralize their families.
The Lu Family Ancestor did not speak.
His expression was extremely grim.
He had not anticipated this situation.
His life was nearly over, without much time left.
Once he passed away, the Lu Family would be left with only Lu Yuanzhong, a Great Cultivator who had just broken through to Foundation Establishment.
At that point, the Lu Family would struggle mightily against the Chen Family,
and the Chen Family might even join forces with the Wugong Ridge Zheng Family to attack their Qingzhu Mountain.
“Fellow Daoist, you shouldn’t be from the Chen Family, right?”
“This matter is a dispute between my Lu Family and the Chen Family. As long as you leave and do not join this battle, my Lu Family is willing to offer a handsome reward.”
“Or if you have any demands, you can state them,” the Lu Family Ancestor said courteously to Meng Xiaochan as he made a polite gesture with his hands.
He had noticed that the other party was not from the Chen Family.
He hoped that they would leave and not get involved in this battle.
“Meng friend, I have already sent a message to the Wugong Ridge Zheng Family. As soon as Ancestor Zheng arrives, the crisis will be resolved,
and my Chen Family will not let you take action in vain. There will be a generous reward!”
Ancestor Chen also hurriedly spoke to Meng Xiaochan.
Meng Xiaochan, having come over due to an old grudge with the Lu Family, wanted to join the Chen Family in destroying the Lu Family for revenge and to gain a share of the spoils.
But now, with three Foundation Establishment Cultivators in front of him, he dared not bet that Meng Xiaochan would leave.
Therefore, to get the help of Meng Xiaochan, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he naturally had to pay a price.
Meng Xiaochan did not speak.
Because at this moment, she finally understood the source of her previous unease.
