"Let's do it!"
With a loud shout from Gu Fan, the three of them attacked simultaneously.
The Guiyuan Furnace transformed into a sun wheel, crashing down on the protective array of the residence like a setting sun.
This magic array was the same as the courtyard where Gu Fan had been before. The moment it was attacked, a layer of blood-red shield appeared, and then it began to tremble violently.
The next instant, Wu Chengdao's halberd also slashed at the protective barrier.
The crimson protective shield finally gave way, exploding with a deafening roar and sending shockwaves through the courtyard walls, causing them to collapse one after another.
Before the two Zhu family disciples guarding the door could even cry out in alarm, they saw a spear shadow wreathed in flames pierce their faces. They only had time to let out a scream before they were dead in the blink of an eye.
"Who goes there!"
As the crimson protective shield shattered, a furious shout erupted from within the courtyard.
Gu Fan, wielding the Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword, was about to slash towards the source of the sound when two figures suddenly soared into the sky and turned to flee without hesitation.
"Trouble has truly come knocking!"
The leader was an elderly man with white hair and beard, his white hair flying in the wind. He reacted the moment he realized the magic array had shattered, and his words were filled with fear and anger.
Beside the old man stood a middle-aged man in a black robe, whose face turned ashen with rage upon hearing the screams of the Lu family disciples.
Even so, the two dared not look back, pushing their escape techniques to the limit, trying to rush to the palace atop Crimson Serpent City.
During his escape, a red sphere appeared in the old man's palm. He infused it with magic power and threw it into the air, where it exploded into a golden-red mandala, which was particularly conspicuous against the night sky.
These two men were Zhu Ziming, the patriarch of the Zhu family, and Zhu Fengshi, the current head of the family.
If given a choice, the Zhu family would absolutely not want to submit to the Blood Spirit Sect.
After all, the demonic sects are not benevolent, and they exploit their subordinate cultivation families no less than the Wei Kingdom.
Since the Lu family was wiped out, the Zhu family has been showing signs of dominating Xuan Yin Mountain in recent years. In addition, Zhu Ziming's cultivation level is only a step away from the late Foundation Establishment stage. He can break through after a few more years of quiet cultivation.
As long as he breaks through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the Zhu family will be able to solidify its position as the overlord of Xuan Yin Mountain.
But all of this vanished with the establishment of Xuan Yin Immortal City!
As it happened, Zhu Fengshi had some connections in the Wu Kingdom, so Zhu Ziming had the idea of joining the Demonic Sect and successfully made contact with a Daoist.
The competition among the various disciples of the Blood Spirit Sect for the position of sect leader was extremely fierce. They were eager to receive any assistance offered to them, especially since the Zhu family was willing to offer up their clan's treasures.
Of the four sects in Wu Kingdom, the Blood Spirit Sect has the lowest bottleneck in its cultivation techniques.
As long as there is a sufficient supply of essence blood pills, the cultivation speed is faster than that of the other three sects. If one switches to cultivation techniques at the Foundation Establishment stage, there are no bottlenecks or restrictions, and one can progress by leaps and bounds in a day.
And so, the Zhu family cultivators settled down in Crimson Serpent City, waiting only to complete their cultivation transition before officially joining the Blood Spirit Sect.
Death came so quickly!
......
Let's go back to shortly after Gu Fan left Baodan Pavilion.
When they saw the deed of authority from the Lu family presented by the steward, Zhu Ziming and Zhu Fengshi exchanged a glance, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.
The contract and the waist tag were genuine; they wouldn't dare lie.
Otherwise, if the Lu family turns back to other sects and exposes their lies, they will surely suffer the consequences.
"Lu Xingchuan and Lu Wanli are nowhere to be found. It would be plausible if they weren't dead, but isn't it a bit too coincidental at this critical juncture?" Zhu Fengshi said with a frown after the steward left.
Zhu Ziming stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "Better safe than sorry. I'll go and pay a visit to Daozi now."
After saying this, Zhu Ziming flew towards the palace on the mountaintop.
Two hours later, Zhu Ziming returned.
"Father, what did Daozi say?" Zhu Fengshi asked with concern.
Zhu Ziming took out a red ball from his sleeve and said slowly, "I already know that the Lu family wants to seek refuge with us. They said they will summon the Lu family tomorrow. Whether it's true or false, we will know then."
"Before parting, I shamelessly asked Daozi for a Bloodlight Pill. If there is any danger, it will explode after being infused with magic power, and Daozi will be able to come immediately upon hearing the news."
"It's only one night, nothing should happen. Just tell your children and grandchildren to be vigilant."
Zhu Fengshi frowned and said, "What if an enemy really comes knocking?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziming's face darkened.
The Zhu family had no enemies in the Wu Kingdom, so it was obvious who Zhu Fengshi was referring to.
A moment later, Zhu Ziming turned to look out the window: "Then let's go ask Daozi for help. As long as we survive, the Zhu family can rise again."
Zhu Fengshi paused for a moment, then slowly nodded.
......
When Gu Fan saw the signal Zhu Ziming gave, his expression immediately changed.
While the enemy's alertness was expected, their swift escape still surprised him.
Fortunately, the three of them were prepared.
Wu Chengdao took a step forward, and star patterns seemed to appear under his feet. He disappeared from his original spot in an instant, and after a few times, he appeared in front of the two Zhu family members.
"Prepare to die!"
Wu Chengdao suddenly revealed his sixteen-foot-tall Dharma body, and his halberd enlarged accordingly. With each swing, his aura stirred up a gale, and he slashed at the two members of the Zhu family from a distance.
Zhu Ziming was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and a yellowish-brown protective shield suddenly formed in front of him.
The halberd landed on the shield, shattered it after a slight pause, and then slashed through Zhu Ziming's chest.
Wu Chengdao had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, only a step away from perfection, and could easily crush Zhu Ziming, who was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
At the same time, a streak of blood-red light shot into the sky atop Crimson Serpent City, hurtling towards the summit like a falling meteor.
"Where did this scoundrel come from, daring to run wild in Crimson Serpent City!"
The roar of fury echoed in all directions, and a curtain of light rose up, turning the moonlight dark red, shaped like an inverted bowl, covering the upper levels of Crimson Serpent City.
At the same time, more than ten streaks of light rushed over upon hearing the sound.
Zhu Fengshi was overjoyed at the sight and used all his magical power to meet the bloody light.
"Michiko's here! We're saved!"
Unexpectedly, before he had flown far, his body suddenly stopped, and his magical power seemed to be frozen as he fell from the sky.
Looking down, he saw a golden iron chain wrapped around his waist, with the other end held in Gu Fan's hand.
The iron chain is the dragon-binding chain.
When Gu Fan forged the Dragon Binding Rope, he strived for speed and accuracy, determined to control the enemy before they could react. His first attempt was remarkably effective.
What angered and horrified Zhu Fengshi even more was yet to come.
With a flick of his wrist, Gu Fan unleashed a crimson-gold Six Ding Divine Fire from his palm, which spread along the chain, burning Zhu Fengshi and turning him into a figure of fire.
Zhu Fengshi's skin and flesh withered instantly, and the magical power in his blood, flesh and meridians was burned away by the Six Ding Divine Fire, but he was not dead yet.
The next instant, Gu Fan pulled hard, and Zhu Fengshi flew towards Gu Fan.
The Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword lay horizontally, and a blade of light slashed out, slicing across Zhu Fengshi's neck and severing his head in his horrified gaze.
Gu Fan reached out and collected Zhu Fengshi's head and Zhu Ziming's body.
Inside the courtyard below, Li Fengyi had already slaughtered all the Zhu family disciples and was putting their corpses into her storage bag.
The three of them were going to kill the Zhu family cultivators. Not only could they not destroy the bodies, but they also had to bring the corpses back. Only in this way could they deter the other cultivation families in Xuan Yin Mountain.
Otherwise, if the Zhu family members died quietly, it would be seen by outsiders as a successful defection, and the Lingxiao Sect's deterrent power would be completely destroyed.
The battle was over in an instant, and all the Zhu family cultivators were killed.
But just then, the blood-red light finally arrived, and the radiance subsided to reveal a sinister young man wearing a blood-red cloak, with black hair flowing down his shoulders and holding a folding fan.
The young man's narrow eyes flashed with murderous intent. Without saying a word, he waved his folding fan, and a monstrous sea of blood appeared in the air, with countless figures wailing and stretching out their arms as if trying to drag someone down as a scapegoat.
A loud "boom" resounded like waves crashing against the shore.
Before the sea of blood even reached within three zhang of him, Wu Chengdao swung his halberd and cleaved it vertically. The boundless qi erupted like a volcano, piercing through the sea of blood.
"That's it?" Wu Chengdao grinned.
The sinister youth's eyes trembled, and his body surged with blood-red light, ready to fight again.
"Fellow Daoist, it's time to go!"
Gu Fan loudly reminded him, then scanned the area before fleeing in the direction where the escape lights were slightly sparser.
Wu Chengdao snorted coldly at the strange young man, then turned and followed Gu Fan.
The sinister-looking youth flew into a rage and roared, "Trying to leave? Not so easy!"
In the next instant, countless blood-red ghostly figures flew out from under the cloak and chased after Gu Fan and the other two.
Upon seeing this, Gu Fan pointed his fingers like a sword, a silver flame leaping from his fingertips as he pointed at the void behind him.
In an instant, a sea of silver fire spread out in the void, and the ghostly figure turned into ashes and vanished upon touching it.
The silver flames are the Six Jia Divine Fire, which is inherently extremely strong and yang, and is extremely effective against yin and evil things.
On the other side, the Blood Spirit Sect cultivators who arrived blocked the three of them, but were horrified when they sensed the auras of Wu Chengdao and Li Fengyi. They could only release their magic weapons from a distance, trying to delay the three of them.
Wu Chengdao counted them carefully and found there were only about ten people in total. He suggested, "Fellow Daoist Gu, why don't we kill these demonic brats before we leave?"
"No!" Gu Fan continued his escape, explaining, "The most urgent thing is to evacuate. If a Golden Core cultivator arrives, it will be troublesome!"
Wu Chengdao immediately fell silent.
As soon as Gu Fan finished speaking, the three of them arrived in front of the light screen covering Crimson Serpent City. Their powerful divine senses spread out and instantly activated the hidden formation.
Several beams of blue light shot into the sky, illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime, and intertwined to form a dark blue barrier.
The next instant, the barrier exploded, tearing open a spatial rift that swept everything around it into it.
One of the Blood Spirit Sect cultivators was unable to dodge in time and fell into the spatial rift, immediately exploding into a cloud of blood mist.
This formation is the Ten Directions Chaotic Void Formation. The location where the formation is set up is the hub of the Crimson Serpent City's defensive formation. The spatial rift swallows everything, and the hub of the defensive formation is instantly destroyed, causing the blood-red light curtain to disappear immediately.
Gu Fan patted his storage bag and released the Void Shuttle, then called Wu Chengdao and Li Fengyi to stand on it.
The magical power poured into the Void-Breaking Shuttle like a river, and the shuttle flashed with light and flew into the distance, instantly turning into a small dot and disappearing.
At this moment, the escape lights that had rushed in from all directions fell, revealing the figures of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The sinister-looking young man had a gloomy expression as he looked back at the dilapidated Zhu family mansion without saying a word.
A moment later, a young man with a square face tentatively asked, "Daoist, should this matter be reported to the sect?"
They had all sensed Wu Chengdao's cultivation level and seen the sea of fire released by Gu Fan. They were confident that no one could withstand it, but now they were afraid that the strange young man would blame them.
The sinister young man was silent for a moment before saying hoarsely, "Of course I want it."
