Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 15 The Black Pine Mountain Bandits' Scheme (Please continue reading and recommend!)

"Leave Firelocust Mountain immediately!"

After Lu Cheng'an took out the communication talisman, he saw the message from his clan.

The situation at Chiyan Mountain was pretty much as Lu Cheng'an had predicted. Liu Xun and the other bandits from Black Pine Mountain did indeed have a bad start when they attacked Chiyan Mountain.

Leaving aside Liu Xun, a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, the other four late-stage Qi Refining bandits from Black Pine Mountain lost more than half their number in the instant they clashed with the Lu family's cultivators. This included Black Pine Mountain's only eighth-level Qi Refining bandit.

These bandit cultivators were all from independent cultivation backgrounds. Their lineages were nowhere near those of the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators of the Lu family, so their strength was naturally far inferior to that of the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators of the Lu family.

Liu Xun made two preparations: if he couldn't take down the Lu family by force, he would use the Lu family's ordinary people as threats to force the Lu family to hand over their clan's treasures.

After all, Liu Xun's attack on the Lu family was only for financial gain, not because he had any irreconcilable blood feud with the Lu family.

For these immortal cultivation families, mortal clansmen are the foundation of their lineage, far more important than cultivation resources.

Liu Xun was absolutely certain that as long as he could control the Lu family's worldly affairs, the Lu family would definitely agree to his demands.

Of course, Liu Xun had no intention of letting the cultivators guarding the Lu family town go.

It was for this reason that Lu Wenxing and the others immediately sent a message to Lu Chengan after learning of Liu Xun's plan, urging him to leave Huohuai Mountain as soon as possible.

To the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an was far more important than the ordinary clansmen of Huohuai Mountain.

Of course, Lu Wenxing and the others couldn't just watch their mortal clansmen die, so they had no choice but to stop attacking the bandits of Black Pine Mountain and reluctantly negotiate with them.

At that moment, they received a message from Lu Cheng'an.

The text that the communication talisman can transmit is limited, so Lu Cheng'an's message was very simple, but he said everything he needed to say.

In the council hall of the Lu family at Chiyan Mountain.

"Clan leader, has Cheng'an replied? Has he successfully left Firelocust Mountain?"

After seeing Lu Wenxing take out the communication talisman and his expression change, Lu Wenhua immediately asked a question.

"I just received a message from Cheng'an. Cheng'an is fine, and the mortal clansmen of Huohuai Mountain are also fine!" Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

"Liu Xun is lying to us, isn't he? I told you he wouldn't have the guts to attack any ordinary member of our Lu family!" Lu Wensheng said with a smile.

"That's not the case. Liu Xun did send a Qi Refining Level 6 bandit cultivator to Fire Locust Mountain, but that bandit cultivator has already been killed by Cheng An. Now Cheng An has sped up his journey to Green Wood Ridge. Once he has killed the bandit cultivator at Green Wood Ridge, he will immediately send us a message."

Lu Wenxing smiled broadly: "Let's stall Liu Xun and the other bandits for now. Once Cheng'an has killed the Qi Refining Level 6 bandits from Qingmu Ridge, we'll kill Liu Xun and the rest of them!"

As Lu Wenxing finished speaking, a chilling killing intent appeared in his eyes.

He thought he had made thorough preparations, but he never expected Liu Xun to be so crazy as to dare to attack ordinary members of the Lu family.

Once this crisis for ordinary people is resolved, he will surely grind Liu Xun to dust!
"How is this possible? Cheng'an only has the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining, right? How did he manage to kill the bandit cultivator from Black Pine Ridge who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining?"

Lu Wensheng exclaimed in surprise, shifting his gaze from Lu Wenxing to Lu Wenhua.

Lu Wenhua is Lu Cheng'an's uncle, so he might know why Lu Cheng'an was able to kill the bandit cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

“The communication talisman can only convey limited information, and Cheng’an did not provide details.” Lu Wenxing shook his head. “However, one thing is certain: the Qi Refining Level 6 bandit sent by Liu Xun is no match for Cheng’an. We just need to hold off Liu Xun for now. Once we see Cheng’an, we will know what happened to him.”

Lu Wenxing did not waste too much time on Lu Cheng'an's killing of the Qi Refining Level 6 bandit cultivator. He quickly made arrangements for what to do next based on Lu Cheng'an's message.

Liu Xun, who was outside Chiyan Mountain, was unaware that the Qi Refining Level 6 bandit he had sent out had been killed by Lu Cheng'an. He was still guarding outside Chiyan Mountain, waiting for a reply from the Lu family cultivators.

…………

Fire Locust Mountain.

Lu Cheng'an dared not waste any time. After sending a message back to his clan about the situation at Huohuai Mountain, he immediately rushed to Qingmu Ridge.

Qingmu Ridge and Huohuai Mountain are sixty li apart, and some of the Lu family's ordinary clansmen migrated there to live.

The environment of Qingmuling is better than that of Huohuaishan, and there are more Lu family members living in Qingmuling than in Huohuaishan.

The Lu family cultivator guarding Qingmu Ridge is Lu Wenxuan. He is at the fifth level of Qi Refining and is much older than Lu Wenhua. His path to cultivation has basically been severed.

Lu Wenxuan's cultivation level has remained at the fifth level of Qi Refining for many years. However, his talent is limited. Although he has stayed at this level for many years, his combat strength is not particularly strong.

Almost at the same time that Lu Cheng'an was attacked by the Qi Refining Level 6 bandit, Lu Wenxuan of Qingmu Ridge was also attacked by the Qi Refining Level 6 bandit sent by Liu Xun.

Lu Wenxuan did not possess the formidable strength of Lu Cheng'an. Faced with the attacks of a Qi Refining Level 6 bandit cultivator, he was essentially powerless to retaliate.

The bandit cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining immediately launched an attack, and Lu Wenxuan did not last long before he perished at the hands of that bandit cultivator.

Afterwards, the bandit cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining passed a message to Liu Xun, informing him that he had taken control of the Lu family's mortal clansmen in Qingmu Ridge.

Liu Xun did not intend to kill the ordinary members of the Lu family. Therefore, after killing Lu Wenxuan, the cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, the bandit only took control of the ordinary members of the Lu family in Qingmu Ridge.

Lu Cheng'an's yellow paper crane was not fast. By the time he arrived at Qingmu Ridge, half an hour had passed.

At this time, Lu Wenxuan had already died at the hands of that bandit cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"A cultivator from the Lu family!"

When Lu Cheng'an arrived at Qingmu Ridge, he did not deliberately conceal his aura, so he was quickly detected by the Qi Refining Level 6 bandit cultivators of Qingmu Ridge.

He was a tall young man with a rather special identity; he was Liu Xun's son, Liu Yiqing.

"Is your Lu family short of people? You only sent a mere Qi Refining Level 5 brat like you to provide support!"

Upon sensing the aura of cultivation emanating from Lu Cheng'an, Liu Yiqing immediately revealed a mocking smile.

He did not doubt that Lu Cheng'an had concealed his cultivation level, because they had already gained some understanding of the Lu family's strength before choosing to target them.

They knew exactly how many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators the Lu family had, and all of them were currently at Crimson Smoke Mountain.

Therefore, the young man at the fifth level of Qi Refining who is now standing in front of him could not possibly be hiding his cultivation level.
