Chapter 2708: Chapter 875: Intimidating the Purple Light, Calling Reinforcements! (2)
Lu Changsheng took the brocade box, opened it for a glance, thought it was acceptable, put it into the storage ring, and collected the Nine Tribulations Sword, responding lightly.
Now Jiang and Yue countries are preparing to counterattack Liang Country; he cannot truly make a move against the Purple Light True Lord and slay him.
Once he does, it will inevitably lead to disorder in the alliance and affect subsequent wars.
So a simple intimidation would suffice.
The Purple Light True Lord saw Lu Changsheng’s indifferent face, feeling extremely aggrieved.
But still, with a flattering expression and a smile, he clasped his hands and said, "In that case, I will take the sect’s cultivators over."
"Alright." Lu Changsheng nodded, no longer making it difficult for him.
After all, the two of them were considered allies.
Since the other party took the cultivators of the Purple Light Sect away, he couldn’t ask for money and make it look too ugly.
Moreover, as a Nascent Soul True Lord, it’s crucial to maintain one’s stature.
Intimidated by Lu Changsheng, the Purple Light True Lord also had no intention of staying for long at Red Peak Immortal City.
Taking the sect’s cultivators, he quickly left.
It’s just that lacking flying boats and warships, the evacuation was troublesome.
He could only order his Core Formation cultivators to lead the people away, while he took the lead himself.
"Yangming True Lord!"
After leaving the Red Peak Mountain Range, the Purple Light True Lord’s somewhat pale face instantly turned grim as water, tightly clutching his fist.
As a Nascent Soul True Lord and an ancestral master of a sect, he is normally high above, with no one daring to disrespect him.
Even Xuanjian True Monarch and Primordial True Monarch, whose fighting power is far superior, were usually addressed as Daoists, and their statuses were equal.
And coming to Red Peak Immortal City this time, he believed he had shown ample respect.
But this Yangming True Lord did not give him any face at all, not even putting him in his eyes.
Given those circumstances, how could he not be angry?
However, considering the power of this Yangming True Lord, he could only swallow his anger, suppress his irritation, and think of ways to steer clear of him.
After all, he couldn’t provoke him, but he could avoid him, couldn’t he?
"Once Liang Country is defeated, Yuan Country will also definitely withdraw troops, and then Wu Country’s territory will be vacant..."
The Purple Light True Lord thought carefully about possibly relocating to Wu Country.
Although Wu Country is currently occupied by both Liang Country and Yuan Country.
But as long as Beast God Mountain is breached, Wu Country can be resolved smoothly.
At that time, he could use military merits to exchange for Wu Country’s territory, far away from Jiang Country.
...
At this moment in Red Peak Immortal City, Lu Changsheng was reminded by the Purple Light True Lord.
Subordinates!
Although the decisive power in the war is still the Nascent Soul True Lords.
However, there are unwritten rules in the Cultivation World war.
On the battlefield, Nascent Soul cultivators cannot make moves against cultivators of lower realms.
After all, the fighting power of Nascent Soul cultivators is terrifyingly excessive.
It’s absolute domination over cultivators below Nascent Soul.
Even if the opposing Nascent Soul cultivators are occupied, they can still cause massive casualties to lower realm cultivators.
If two Nascent Soul True Lords disregard the rules and act wantonly on the battlefield, then the war would be meaningless.
Even if they achieved victory, they’d face a situation where no one is left to use.
Therefore, most Nascent Soul forces adhere to this rule when starting wars.
Furthermore, there’s another reason.
That is excessive bloodshed and massacre of too many innocent beings, which easily attracts karma power entanglements, compromising one’s own fortune.
Even though karma power and fortune are both ethereal and unpredictable.
But upon reaching the Nascent Soul level, most take it seriously and tend to believe in its existence rather than its absence.
So, for the upcoming counterattack on Liang Country, Lu Changsheng’s primary focus will be to deal with the Demon Path Envoy behind Liang Country.
Or to resolve the Nine Spirits True Monarch, Yun Mei True Monarch, and Yuan Country’s two Nascent Soul True Lords.
But the Purple Light True Lord gave him a reminder.
If he wants to gain more resources and benefits during the war, he still needs subordinates to capture cities, plunder, and seize resources.
And other than his son Lu Lingxiao leading a few cultivators from Great Dream Immortal City, he has no usable cultivators.
This would result in the loss of many resources.
Recruiting reinforcements!
Lu Changsheng immediately prepared to call in people, summoning Yun Wanshang.
Although Yun Wanshang’s body has barely recovered and is not suitable for action in the short term.
But in the upcoming war, the danger is not great.
She would only need to sit at the rear and separate the Qingyun Sect’s army from Jiang Country.
Thus, she could not only exploit Qingyun Sect’s resources but also partake in military merits after the war ends.
Currently, Qingyun Sect is merely a Third Rank Spirit Vein, insufficient to support Yun Wanshang’s cultivation.
If the military merits are sufficient, one could have Dragon Seekers or Array Masters from the Heavenly Sword Sect, or Primordial Sect, or Purple Light Sect intercept a small section from Liang Country’s Fourth Rank Spirit Vein for cultivating Qingyun Sect’s spirit vein.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng remembers that ever since the Nascent Soul Ancestor of Bawu Sect in Wu Country passed away, it’s been in a state of chaos.
And under the meddling of various forces, Bawu Sect has been declining gradually, leaving this Fourth Rank Spirit Vein ownerless.
At that time, he could even help Yun Wanshang capture Wu Country’s Fourth Rank Spirit Vein.
"Caiyun, hurry to the Yue Country frontline, counterattack Liang Country."
Lu Changsheng immediately crushed the Fourth Rank Yin Yang Communication Talisman with Yun Wanshang, sending a brief message.
However, he thought about it; since the Great Dream City Master himself had arrived, how could the Deputy City Lord Changsheng True Master not come?
Immediately, he crushed another Yin Yang Sensing Talisman, instructing her to bring Lu Miaoge along.
Thus, both Changsheng True Master and Miao Ge True Man would be able to establish enough military merits in this war and then be rewarded based on their contributions.
"Ah, this Talisman communication is really troublesome."
Lu Changsheng thought of how the Sea Suppression Ancestor and Minghai True Monarch, despite being far apart, used array formation restrictions for real-time communication, and he felt quite envious.
Although his Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror could achieve this, even more conveniently.
But the spirit vein of Red Peak Immortal City is insufficient to let Ah Wu connect to Bi Lake Mountain; it can only connect to Azure Phoenix Immortal City at best.
...
Qingyun Sect.
Caiyun Hall.
Usually, Yun Wanshang not only guides her son Lu Yunxiao and recuperates her body, but also instructs and teaches her disciple Lu Shouzheng.
She is quite attentive to the son of her disciple Chu Qingyi.
On one hand, he is Chu Qingyi’s son.
On the other hand, Lu Shouzheng displays exceptional talent, possesses Heavenly Spiritual Root, and has an extraordinarily steadfast disposition.
At this time, Yun Wanshang felt a message, and with a turn of her jade hand, a Yin Yang Communication Talisman appeared forming a message.
Hurry to the Yue Country frontline, counterattack Liang Country.
Yun Wanshang felt a little puzzled.
She didn’t understand why Lu Changsheng suddenly notified her to go to the Yue Country frontline and counter Liang Country.
Isn’t the Liang-Yue War currently extremely tense, and Yue Country is at a disadvantage?
Soon after, another Yin Yang Communication Talisman appeared in her hand, instructing her to bring Lu Miaoge along.
"This man is really... oblivious to thrift."
Seeing Lu Changsheng wasting two precious Fourth Rank Yin Yang Communication Talismans on such trivial matters, Yun Wanshang felt he was a prodigal son.
But the consecutive messages made her aware that the situation in the Liang-Yue War had changed, and Lu Changsheng was most likely on the Yue Country frontline.
"That scoundrel wasn’t supposed to deal with the troubles of Starry Sky Sea? How did he end up going to the Yue Country frontline?"
Although Lu Changsheng had already subdued four Nascent Soul cultivators on the Yue Country frontline, shaking all sides with his power.
Nevertheless, the two countries are far apart, and news traveling requires time.
Thus, Yun Wanshang had not yet received information from the Yue Country frontline, and was unaware of Lu Changsheng’s circumstances.
She thought briefly and entrusted Lu Yunxiao to her disciple grandson Lu Shouzheng, asking him to take care of him for a few days, then prepared to go to Bi Lake Mountain to inquire about the situation.
"Yes, Ancestral Master."
Lu Shouzheng, now sixteen years old, with his stature already tall and upright, replied with a bow to Yun Wanshang, then looked at the porcelain doll-like Lu Yunxiao with his powdered sculpture.
"Yunxiao, mother has some matters, so during these days, stay by your brother...Shouzheng, and be obedient."
Yun Wanshang also advised her son.
Based on seniority, Lu Shouzheng should call Lu Yunxiao ’Master Uncle.’
But given their similar age.
Considering both their fathers are Lu Changsheng, Yun Wanshang hopes for them to be closer, so she didn’t require the Master Uncle and Master Nephew appellation.
"Okay."
Although Lu Yunxiao was only three years old, he was very wise, obediently responding to his mother.
Then he added: "I will behave and wait for mother to return."
"Hmm." Yun Wanshang, separating from her son for the first time, seeing his demeanor, felt a softness in her heart and gently stroked his little head.
Then quietly set off, heading to Bi Lake Mountain, to inquire if Lu Miaoge knew of any situation.
