Chapter 68

68 Conquest mode
There was actually nothing to discuss about going or not. Even when Lu Qing was still alive, he could not reject the Qingfeng sect’s recruitment.
In the Feiyun state, there were two principles. One was to fight against the devil cultivators.
As for devil cultivators, even an Orthodox sect would attack them.
The existence of demonic cultivators was completely different from the way of survival of the Orthodox sects. They wanted to improve and cultivate, so that they could hook up with the evil demons in the abyss and harm all living beings. They used the blood and souls of hundreds of millions of living beings to achieve the demonic path. This was definitely intolerable, and everyone had the right to kill them.
The world of cultivators was cruel, and cultivators killed each other all year round for benefits and resources. Some cultivation techniques, when cultivated to the later stages, would result in the Taishang emotionless technique, where one would not even care about the lives of their loved ones.
But in the end, no matter how the cultivators of the Orthodox sects fought, they would not deliberately kill mortals-as for the aftermath of the fight destroying a city or something, they might not care too much.
However, demonic cultivators were different. They would really kill millions of mortals in one city after another for their own personal gain.
As for the other reason, it was to fight the White ghouls.
These white ghouls were born from the ice plains in the extreme north of the Xue state.
Even golden core cultivators couldn’t enter that place. On one hand, the coldness with the devil Qi was an obstacle. On the other hand, the deeper they went, the more powerful the number and quality of white ghouls would be. Even a golden core cultivator might not be able to escape unscathed.
It was said that in the depths of the ice field, there was a huge cave of evil spirits that connected the human world and the abyss. These white ghouls had emerged from there. If he did not shut it down completely, the White ghouls would come out endlessly.
Fortunately, the White ghouls did not like the heat. They usually did not go south on a large scale, and only occasionally infiltrated from the border.
If this was all they had to face, the three famous sects of the Xue state would not be a big problem.
However, there was an exception that they could not deal with.
Every time there were too many white ghouls on the ice field after decades of accumulation, the White ghouls would go south on a large scale in order to obtain more living space.
And every time they went south on a large scale, it was a great disaster that the three famous sects of the Xue state had to face. Without the full support of the Qingfeng sect and the entire Feiyun state behind them, they would not be able to withstand it.
Every time the White ghouls went south on a large scale, the Qingfeng sect would send at least one, sometimes two golden core cultivators to lead the team. The entire sect would send more than 5000 cultivators of all levels, as well as many cultivation families and itinerant cultivators in the Feiyun state.
Each time, the reinforcements from the three sects would be more than ten thousand people, including about a hundred foundation building cultivators.
Almost every time the White ghouls went south, regardless of what happened to the Xue state, it would be good if 70% of the cultivators from the Feiyun state could return. Every year, there would be casualties of initial enlightenment cultivators, and even golden core cultivators might not be able to keep their lives.
The most brutal one was 120 years ago. Lu Qing still remembered that the number and intensity of the White ghouls going south were particularly large. Nearly 7000 cultivators from the Feiyun state had died. At that time, almost every family had a white funeral banner hanging on their heads.
The journey up north was full of danger.
“I’ll go,” Lu xueting was the first to speak.
After she built her Foundation, she was also told that the ancestor had awakened and that this matter was not to be revealed to the outside world.
“You’ve just reached the foundation establishment stage, what are you going to do?” Chaohe said with a frown.
“It’s precisely because I’ve just reached the foundation establishment stage that if I really die in the Xue state, it won’t be a big problem for the family. However, if something happens to eldest uncle, seventh uncle, and ninth aunt, the clan will be in trouble.”
“Don’t speak nonsense.” Mingchao interrupted her, ” it’s more appropriate for me to go this time. I’m Yingying.
“What do you mean you’re suitable?” Lu Chaohe cut her off again. xueting has just built her Foundation. She still has more than a hundred years to live. She can think about her future. Big brother and ninth sister both have the hope of breaking through to the initial enlightenment stage, so it’s better not to take risks. I’m the only one who’s neither high nor low enough. Qiming can’t reach me either, so I’m the most suitable. If he really did die, it’s also fate.”
Lu chaoxi waved his hand in dissatisfaction. I’m your elder brother and uncle. How can I let you go? “he said. Don’t say more!”
Lu Chaohe was not convinced. He said, ” “In front of father, you are nothing. Listen to father.”
Upon hearing this, a burst of laughter came from the chamber.
“I’m very pleased that you can think this way.”
Lu Qing was sincere when he said this.
They all knew that this journey north was dangerous, but it was also because of this that they fought each other to take on this dangerous responsibility.
How could Lu Qing not be happy when his brother was respectful to him?
“Let chaoxi go,” Lu Qing said.
father! Lu Chaohe could not help but feel anxious. However, Lu chaoxi pulled him back.
“I will obey father’s decree.”
Lu Qing chuckled again. you don’t have to worry too much. Chaoxi is at the ninth-tier of the foundation building realm and has Thunder techniques. He has a better chance of surviving than the few of you when he goes to the Northern Territory. Moreover, chaoxi, you’re nearing the beginning of enlightenment. It’s time for you to experience some life-and-death experiences. This will be very beneficial for your future.”
“I understand.”
“Go, make your preparations and select some good descendants.”
……
Lu Qing let out a long sigh after the four of them left.
Oh, right, he was not breathing.
Anyway, that was what he meant.
It would be best if he could avoid going. Although it was said to be a 30% to 50% casualty rate, it did not mean that five out of ten people would return. This casualty rate referred to the overall situation. In a defeated battle, the human cultivators would often face a massacre. It was normal for the cultivators who faced that battle to be completely annihilated. It would be considered good if one or two of them could escape.
However, this was something that they had to bear. On the bigger hand, it was for the sake of the safety of the two provinces. On the other hand, if they were selfish, they would not be able to bear the heavy punishment of the Qingfeng sect if they did not send anyone or fooled around with the matter.
It wasn’t impossible for their entire clan to be exterminated.
Since he had to go, he might as well go to the strongest one. Putting aside the fact that he had the highest chance of returning, Lu chaoxi might have his own opportunities.
Moreover, Lu Qing had been a little nervous. The Xue state was tens of thousands of miles long. His spirit body couldn’t fly over and he couldn’t personally experience the battlefield. Even if he had a powerful trump card like the “power of initial enlightenment “, he wouldn’t be able to use it.
However, after he had decided to send Lu chaoxi to lead the team to the snow state, a new message popped up in Lu Qing’s system interface.
the conquest battle mode is activated. In this mode, the karma required to refresh the exchange Mall is five times that of the normal mode. The exchange items that appear every time will all be battle-related.
[in the battle of Conquest mode, you can teleport your spirit body to any Clansman who is participating in the battle at any time. Each teleportation costs 10 karma. [the time limit for going out remains unchanged. Return to the clansmen who participated in the battle campaign to resume the time limit.]
[ in Conquest mode, you can choose a member to participate in the war and freely communicate with them without spending karma. [ after selection, the member can not be replaced before death. ]
in War Mode, family members will receive stage rewards for killing enemies, accumulating battle results, and completing established goals. The overall reward will be calculated after the war ends.
With this so-called ‘battle mode’, Lu Qing felt much more at ease.

He saw everyone’s discussion about the plot and setting. Many of them were very good and made his imagination run wild!
I’ll seriously consider any good suggestions!
