Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Three Times the Lifespan

Chapter 83 A Major Reversal

"Rob the Lu family's entire fortune!"

"Anyone who gets in my way, die!"

Hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators from the Wang, Ye, and Zhou families swarmed into the area managed by the Lu family like locusts, while some others took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

The shops of powerful forces like Wanbaoge were heavily fortified, causing the cultivators to avoid them and instead plunder the surrounding area.

Flames shot into the sky from Tingchao Lane; fireballs blasted open the courtyard gates; earthen spikes pierced the window frames.

"Bang!"

Yang Changsheng's courtyard No. 9527 was bombarded by a mid-grade magic weapon, and the low-level defensive formation collapsed instantly, with the gate also being blasted apart by the fireball.

Two mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators rushed in with sinister smiles, only to find empty walls and a few pieces of inferior furniture.

"Damn it! You poor bastard, cleaner than a rat!"

Jie Xiu kicked the wooden stool away and searched every corner unwillingly, but found nothing.

Damn it.

Yang Changsheng, suspended in mid-air in Bichao Lane, had an icy expression and his eyes were filled with a cold light.

He clenched his fists tightly in his sleeve. Fortunately, he had a habit of collecting valuables before going out. His five-cubic-meter storage bag was always close to his body, containing all his spirit stones, puppet parts, pills, and even spirit plants.

This sudden chaos will not cause me any huge losses.

However, seeing the place where he had lived for several years being destroyed, Yang Changsheng couldn't help but feel a sense of displeasure and coldness.

That was the first place he truly belonged to after leaving the Lu family; it was the foundation for his arduous cultivation, puppet making, and future planning.

This peace was forcibly shattered; how could one not be angry?

"Fellow Daoist Yang, proceed with caution."

Su Wanqing's gentle voice came from behind her. Her white robes fluttered, and the flames of immortality flickered at her fingertips, but her gaze swept around the courtyard.

At this moment, seven auras of the ninth level of Qi Refining perfection suddenly erupted above Bichao Lane!

The array master, Elder Chen, had an array plate spinning above his head; the talisman master, Madam Zhao, held a golden talisman between her fingers; and the weapon refiner, Wu Tie, had a heavy hammer humming on his arm…

The craftsmen's magical artifacts shone with a unified light, coldly repelling several teams of rogue cultivators. The dignity of powerful rogue cultivators cannot be arbitrarily insulted or treated as easy prey by anyone.

This condensed late-stage aura of refinement formed an invisible barrier.

Some of the cultivators who tried to rush into Bichao Alley felt the murderous aura permeating the alley, as well as the cold gazes directed at them.

After weighing their own capabilities, they ultimately turned away, grumbling and cursing, to other areas with weaker defenses.

"Rob them! The Lu family of Biyue Lake is finished!"

"Spirit stones! Elixirs! Magical artifacts! They're all ours!"

In the distance, shouts of battle, cries of agony, the clanging of magical artifacts, and the sounds of houses collapsing were all mixed together.

The warehouse of the shop belonging to the Lu family was forcibly broken open, and all the goods inside were looted.

The low-level cultivators and guards loyal to the Lu family fought valiantly, but were outnumbered and fell one after another into pools of blood.

The Lu family's enforcement team reacted swiftly, led by several late-stage Qi Refining captains, piercing the chaotic battlefield like sharp blades.

With their powerful cultivation and excellent teamwork, they formed a battle formation and forcefully tore open gaps in the commercial and surrounding areas, desperately resisting the onslaught of the three cultivators and attempting to protect the Lu family's core businesses.

Meanwhile, the powerful shops set up their operations early on, observing from the sidelines. Regardless of who ultimately wins, business continues as usual; the only difference is that someone else is paying the rent.

The port market was now in complete chaos, with no order whatsoever.

……

Above the Azure Lake, the Foundation Establishment cultivators' offensive had reached a fever pitch.

Wang Lieyang, the patriarch of the Wang family, had bloodshot eyes and was surrounded by raging flames. With each strike of the Burning Heaven Sword he controlled, a wave of fire hundreds of feet high was generated, which slammed heavily into the light blue protective shield of the Lu family's ancestral land.

The poisonous vines of the Ye family patriarch's green staff danced wildly, corroding the light shield with a hissing sound, and the spiritual light flickered erratically.

The Zhou family patriarch's earth-shattering axe was powerful and heavy, and each strike caused a violent shock.

Blood Hand Li Kun was like a ghost, his blood-red blade flashing with cunning and ruthlessness, always targeting the weak points in the formation.

"boom!"

"Snap... snap!"

Finally, after two days of relentless attacks by four Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Lu family's protective formation, passed down for hundreds of years, exploded like shattered glass with a deafening cracking sound, turning into countless fragments of spiritual light that vanished without a trace.

"Hahaha! Heaven is on my side! Lu Zhengxuan, today is the day your Lu family is wiped out!"

Wang Lieyang laughed wildly, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.

The moment the formation shattered, he had already located the spiritual energy vortex deep within the core island of the Lu family, Lu Qianxue's secluded cultivation cave.

"Bang!"

However, the originally vast and pure vortex of spiritual energy, which stretched from heaven to earth, suddenly dissipated like a punctured balloon the moment Wang Lieyang and the others broke through the great formation and their minds were in turmoil.

The out-of-control spiritual energy, like a flood bursting its banks, swept wildly in all directions, instantly destroying the exquisite pavilions, towers, and medicinal plant gardens near the cave, turning them to rubble.

"Lu Qianxue failed to establish her foundation?"

"Spiritual energy dissipates! This is a sign of failed breakthrough... a backlash from the spiritual energy!"

"Hahaha! What a joke! A genius with an earth-elemental root, appearing only once every few centuries, actually failed to establish his foundation? Such a bizarre event is worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Southern Region's cultivation world!"

The ancestor of the Ye family was taken aback, then let out a sharp, gloating laugh, his jealousy replaced by wild joy.

"Good! Good! Good! Even the heavens are on our side! The Lu family's fate is sealed!" The Zhou family patriarch clapped his hands and laughed, his murderous intent fully revealed.

"Move it! Eliminate them completely, leave no one alive!"

Wang Lieyang was in high spirits, as if he could already see the Lu family destroyed and the Wang family dominating the region.

The flames of the Heaven-Burning Sword above his head surged, ready to lead the charge towards the cave where spiritual energy was dissipating, and to completely wipe out the defeated Lu Qianxue along with the entire Lu family territory.

Just as Wang Lieyang and his three companions were grinning maliciously, preparing to launch a fatal attack on the core island of the Lu family, which had lost the protection of the great formation and failed to establish its foundation, they were about to...

A figure slowly emerged from the ruins deep within the island, where the spiritual energy had just dissipated.

It was Lu Zhiping, the second elder of the Lu family who was in charge of internal affairs.

"Ha ha!"

However, even though he was facing annihilation, his face showed no despair or grief, but rather an almost manic, uncontrollable ecstasy.

He raised his right hand high, holding a communication jade tablet that was shimmering with a soft silver light.

"Um?"

Wang Lieyang and the others felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, as a strong sense of foreboding gripped them instantly.

Lu Zhiping's expression was too strange!

Almost simultaneously, four powerful Foundation Establishment divine senses, like four invisible swords, pierced into the depths of Lu Qianxue's secluded cave.

Where is there any proud young woman of heaven who has just failed to establish her foundation and whose aura is weak?

Only a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed in the robes of a Lu family elder, with a pale face and weak breath, was struggling to support himself, clearly having just suffered the impact of a spiritual backlash.

He was an ordinary elder in the Lu family, at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This person used some special secret method to disguise the spiritual energy fluctuations of Lu Qianxue's Foundation Establishment stage!
