Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1184: Chapter 789: Lu Fusheng Takes Action (Part 2)

As for the Spirit Stones inside, Yang Chengmao would take them to the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau, he didn’t even need to be told.

"Just wait, I estimate Lu Fusheng will make his move soon, we can’t collide with him!" Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

Wang Lei scratched his head, "I still want to make a fortune!"

Yang Zhenshan glanced at him, "I’ll give you a bonus!"

"Hehe, forget the bonus, how about the Family Head rewards me with a Jade Marrow Pill!" Wang Lei replied with a grin.

"Come to me for a Jade Marrow Pill when you break through! Right now, it’s a waste for you to take it!" Yang Zhenshan said casually.

To him, the Jade Marrow Pill wasn’t that precious, now his pill formation rate had increased to forty percent, and occasionally he could even refine a few mid-grade Jade Marrow Pills.

However, since only he could refine the Jade Marrow Pills, he couldn’t spend too much time on them, which is why they seemed a bit scarce.

Giving one to Wang Lei was not impossible; Wang Lei and Li Chang were his longest-serving personal followers, and he spent more time with Wang Lei and Li Chang than with the four brothers of Yang Mingcheng.

Therefore, Wang Lei and Li Chang were not only his personal followers but also more like his disciples.

"Thank you for the reward, Family Head!" Wang Lei thanked joyfully.

Seeing him like this, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but smile, "Alright, stop being playful, tell the Red Flame Army at the foot of the mountain to strengthen their defenses, to avoid another attack!"

"Yes!" Wang Lei responded.

...

Locust tree Village was just a very ordinary village, as the name suggests, because there was a big locust tree in the center of the village, it was called Locust tree Village.

There used to be some villagers in Locust tree Village, but more than two years ago, the villagers of Locust tree Village were massacred overnight, and the village became an empty village.

Later, there were rumors that Locust tree Village was haunted, some people even claimed to have seen ghosts around it, and because of this, Lu Jianghua even sent someone to investigate.

Because ghosts do exist in this world, with the Immortal Path, naturally there will be ghosts.

However, the conditions for forming ghosts are extremely harsh, typically, places suitable for human habitation do not form ghosts, and talk about hatred, obsessions, and grievances turning people into ghosts after death is nonsense.

True ghosts are divine souls nurtured in special environments, note divine souls, not human souls, those who possess divine souls are either Immortal Cultivators or Martial Artists above the Martial God Realm, so ghosts are rare in this world.

Naturally, there were no ghosts in Locust tree Village, so the investigation by Nanxia County came to nothing, but local people still viewed Locust tree Village as forbidden grounds, and no one dared to approach it.

Mo Changbin, in search of a hiding place, heard the rumors of Locust tree Village, and immediately chose it as a hiding place.

The small village, though not in a secret location, was rarely approached, and could easily house more than three hundred people.

So, for the past half year, they had been hiding there.

At this moment, Mo Changbin stood at the entrance of Locust tree Village with a furrowed brow, gazing at the long-abandoned dirt path.

"It’s been four days, why haven’t they returned?"

He was waiting for Zhou Yuntao and Wu Dashan; according to their previous arrangement, Zhou Yuntao and Wu Dashan were to return within three days, whether they completed their task or not.

But now it had been four days.

Mo Changbin felt an ominous premonition.

"We can’t wait any longer!"

Things had changed, he decided to take people and leave Locust tree Village, heading to another hiding place.

As he turned back to the village, a piercing eagle cry echoed in the sky.

Mo Changbin’s whole body stiffened, and he slowly raised his head to look upward.

The vast firmament, clouds drifting lazily like cotton. Amidst it, a giant golden-feathered eagle soared with wings outstretched. Its body covered in feathers shining like flowing gold, glistening under the sunlight.

Seeing that golden glow, Mo Changbin’s pupils suddenly contracted.

The Lu family’s Golden Feathered Eagle!

With almost no hesitation, Mo Changbin’s whole body surged with True Yuan, transforming into a stream of light, flying closely along the ground towards the north.

"Trying to run, think you can escape?"

A voice like thunder exploded in the air, the sound waves carrying a terrifying might that rolled forth.

In an instant, a red flame descended from the sky like a meteor.

"No!"

Mo Changbin let out a cry of fear, swinging his long knife to block the red flame.

Rumble~~

The flame hit the ground with a roaring explosion, and in an instant, scorching flames rose to the sky.

Mo Changbin, amidst the violent flames, burned like a piece of rag, the explosive shockwave sending his body flying, and when he crashed back to the ground, only half his chest and head remained.

The flames clung to his body, his eyes filled with the rising and flickering of flames.

His charred lips trembled slightly, but in the end, he made no sound, his broken body turning to charcoal.

In the air, the Golden Feathered Eagle soared, its burly shape standing on the eagle’s back, holding a crimson spear, eyes indifferent as they watched the village below.

Sparks surrounded him, then fell.

Massive fireballs, each the size of a carriage, fell like meteorites into the deserted village.

In the explosions, figures fled everywhere in fear, tongues of fire flickered, and within moments, the entire village became a sea of fire.

Aside from the fiery blaze, no other moving figures could be seen.

Lu Fusheng looked indifferently at the blazing fire, his brow slightly furrowed.

"Is the Immortal Dao’s spell so difficult to control!"

Regarding the Immortal Dao, every Martial Artist in the Martial God Realm harbored both reverence and desire.

They revered the Immortal Dao’s profoundness and longed for its power.

They could not cultivate Immortal Dao Skills, but they desperately wanted to gain the power of the Immortal Dao, so many Martial God Realm experts practiced Immortal Dao’s spells.

However, they had no spiritual aperture, unable to perfectly merge the divine soul with the True Yuan within.

Even though they had started refining the divine soul, no matter how they enhanced its strength, they could not become true Immortal Cultivators.

Lu Fusheng was no exception, he wanted to master the Immortal Dao’s spell.

In just a few years, he had already reached a very powerful level in the Immortal Dao’s Fire Control Skill and Fireball Technique.

But the limitations of the divine soul only allowed him to unleash great power, without being able to control it finely, forcing him to use the two spells in a crude manner.

Lu Fusheng took one last look at the fiery sea below before retracting his gaze, speaking softly, "Golden Spear, to Lingxi Mountain!"

The Golden Feathered Eagle beneath him let out a sharp eagle cry, then soared towards the east.

In just a moment, they arrived above Lingxi Mountain.

...

In the study on Lingxi Mountain.

Li Chang, who had just returned, was reporting on the situation over in Wuxiang City to Yang Zhenshan.

"Currently, both sides are still at a stalemate, but the Three Sects have suffered great losses, especially the Wuxiang Sect, which lost more than thirty Inner Sect disciples just last month!"

"From what we’ve gathered, ten years ago the Wuxiang Sect had about 300 Inner Sect disciples, but now the Wuxiang Sect’s Inner Sect disciples number less than two hundred!"

"Moreover, we’ve heard that the Three Sects are seeking help from Hidden Sword Mountain!"

Li Chang said, looking somewhat peculiar.

"Hidden Sword Mountain?" Yang Zhenshan raised his head in surprise, looking at him.

"Yes, Hidden Sword Mountain! It seems the Three Sects want to gain Hidden Sword Mountain’s support!" Li Chang replied.

"Wasn’t Hidden Sword Mountain at odds with the Three Major Sects?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

Lan Peng had mentioned that Hidden Sword Mountain did not have a good relationship with the Three Major Sects. They had many disagreements in the past, though Lan Peng wasn’t very knowledgeable about Hidden Sword Mountain, and what he knew was mostly hearsay.

"We don’t know the specifics either. We heard some information about Hidden Sword Mountain from a Wuxiang Sect Inner Sect deacon. According to him, Hidden Sword Mountain is indeed a true Immortal Cultivator sect!" Li Chang explained.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard, deep in thought.

He had heard many rumors about Hidden Sword Mountain, but he had never had direct contact with it, not with the people of Hidden Sword Mountain, nor with any of its affiliated forces.
