Chapter 50 Encountering People from the Lu Family

Listening to He Jiaojiao’s explanation, Lu Changfeng understood the situation clearly.

The two sects shared a common enemy.

Consequently, their relations were reasonably amicable.

However, Lu Changfeng also knew that if the Sacred Yuan Sect were to fall, the ties between them would instantly fracture.

As the flying boat slowly descended,

a crowd of disciples gazed at the surrounding environment with curious eyes.

Hundreds of other flying boats were already parked all around.

Disciples clad in various attires were chatting casually among themselves.

The coming and going of people created a bustling and lively atmosphere.

Once Lu Changfeng stepped onto the plaza,

another group of disciples disembarked from the neighboring Ice Lotus Sect's flying boat.

The person who caught Lu Changfeng’s attention was surrounded squarely in the middle of these disciples.

It was a woman dressed in a long robe embroidered with lotus patterns.

Her figure was slender and graceful, and a cascade of pale purple hair hung loosely down her back.

She possessed exquisite, fair skin, and her curved eyebrows resembled crescent moons.

Her breathtaking visage gave off an untouchable, aloof aura.

All around her, the Ice Lotus Sect disciples wore beaming smiles, constantly trying to curry favor with her.

Yet she seemed entirely uninterested, her crystal-clear eyes still tinged with a hint of indifference.

"The Primal Pill realm?!"

Lu Changfeng narrowed his eyes and muttered under his breath.

The woman before him was young, yet the aura surrounding her was exceptionally potent.

Only a cultivator in the Primal Pill realm could radiate such might.

Furthermore, upon careful observation,

Lu Changfeng discovered that although she was only at the first level of the Primal Pill realm, her surrounding aura was by no means inferior to that of an average third-level Primal Pill cultivator!

"She is a genius!"

Lu Changfeng thought to himself.

"She is the foremost figure of the Ice Lotus Sect, Xue Qingyi!"

He Jiaojiao whispered, "Although the Ice Lotus Sect has tried every means to conceal her existence, intending to reveal her only after she grows powerful enough—"

"She had already slain a Primal Pill realm cultivator back when she was at the peak of the Universal Circulation realm!"

"This is a matter they simply cannot keep hidden."

Lu Changfeng had been unaware of this news.

He knew that as the granddaughter of the Divine Pill Peak's master, He Jiaojiao naturally had access to information far more swiftly than he did.

"I see."

He nodded slightly.

Seeing Lu Changfeng's nonchalant expression, He Jiaojiao assumed that he simply wasn't taking the matter to heart.

After all, she knew that Lu Changfeng himself had also slain Primal Pill cultivators.

"You must not underestimate her!"

He Jiaojiao sighed softly and said, "This woman cultivates the Ice Lotus Nine Profound Scripture, a long-lost technique of the Ice Lotus Sect!"

"Both her techniques and her cultivation base are beyond anything ordinary people can compare to!"

"Indeed."

Lu Changfeng nodded slightly, a flicker of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

***

The next moment,

Hum—!

A rumble echoed through the heavens, fierce winds howled, and a shadow fell across the sky, blanketing the entire plaza.

The crowd was stunned for a moment before raising their heads to look into midair.

Only to discover, right above them,

hung a massive flying boat that blotted out the sun and sky, with a banner fluttering in the wind from its main mast.

Embroidered upon the banner with precious materials were two large characters:

——Sacred Yuan.

"Could this be..."

"The Sacred Yuan Sky Vessel!"

"What esteemed guests are visiting the Sacred Yuan Sect to warrant the deployment of the Sacred Yuan Sky Vessel to fetch them?"

The crowd gasped in shock, staring fixedly at the enormous flying boat in the sky with puzzled expressions.

As the Sacred Yuan Sky Vessel slowly docked,

a group of people stepped down leisurely from its deck.

At their head was a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious silk robes.

Though his cultivation was not high, he showed no timidity amidst the crowd, and even faintly exuded an air of looking down upon everything.

He Jiaojiao frowned slightly, just as she was about to speak,

she felt a bone-chilling coldness beside her.

Turning her head in haste, she discovered Lu Changfeng frowning deeply, a sharp, icy glint flashing in his eyes.

The surrounding air seemed to have grown freezing cold as well.

Meanwhile, as this group walked forward,

they arrived right in front of the Dao Yan Sect disciples.

A middle-aged man with a gray beard and white hair instantly saw his arrogant expression freeze.

With a chilling look, he blurted out:

"You... Lu Changfeng?!"

"Why are you here?"

He was none other than Lu Sha, the Grand Elder of the Lu family.

And these people were members of the Lu family.

The middle-aged man at their head was the head of the Lu family, Lu Hongyuan.

With a cold gaze, he looked at Lu Changfeng and spoke in a frosty tone:

"Lu Changfeng?"

"Damned traitor, how dare you still show your face?!"

As he spoke,

Lu Hongyuan took a step forward, spiritual energy surged, and the aura of the second level of the Primal Pill realm burst forth.

Amidst a deafening roar,

fierce winds whipped up, and the dense atmospheric pressure of the world surged like a wave toward the former.

Lu Changfeng’s expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't care about such terrifying might at all.

Boom—!

Amidst the roaring impact,

Lu Changfeng stood his ground, completely unmoved.

"Impossible!"

"My cultivation is already at the second level of the Primal Pill!"

"That good-for-nothing was only at the first level of Meridian Opening when he defected! How can he be fine?!"

Lu Changfeng’s expression remained unperturbed as he took a single step forward.

Boom—!

The surrounding pressure shattered in an instant.

The head of the Lu family changed color slightly, his eyes widening in sheer disbelief.

He could actually sense an aura on Lu Changfeng that was on par with his own.

"Lu Changfeng, you traitor!"

"Seeing the head of the Lu family, why aren't you crawling over to kneel and beg for forgiveness?!"

"Do you wish to be executed by family law instead?!"

Grand Elder Lu Sha let out a cold snort at the sight, stepped forward, and questioned him sternly:

"Family law?"

Lu Changfeng narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly:

"I stopped being a member of the Lu family long ago!"

"A Primal Pill cultivator from a mere loose-cultivator clan? Is he worthy of making me kneel?!"

"You're courting death?!"

The Grand Elder's expression turned gloomy as he spoke in a booming voice.

At the same time, waves of murderous intent erupted from within his body.

On the side of the Dao Yan Sect,

Ye Yunlan stepped forward, the might of the fourth level of the Universal Circulation realm bursting forth violently, crashing fiercely toward Lu Sha.

Boom—!

Lu Sha's expression changed abruptly as a mouthful of blood spewed from his lips.

He staggered back several steps before finally managing to steady himself.

"A mere trash at the first level of Universal Circulation dares to move against our Peak's Senior Brother?!"

"You're asking to die!"

Ye Yunlan flashed a cold glint in her eyes and rebuked sternly.

Lu Sha forcefully suppressed his roiling blood and glared wide-eyed at Ye Yunlan.

He never expected that right here, someone would actually stand up for Lu Changfeng!

"You are... Dao Yan Sect disciples?"

Lu Hongyuan looked at Ye Yunlan's attire and suddenly realized the truth.

"To think that a good-for-nothing like you actually managed to enter the Dao Yan Sect?!"

He turned his gaze back to Lu Changfeng and spoke icily.

"You traitor, what use is it even if you've latched onto the coattails of one of the three great sects?"

"Come over and kneel!"

"Today I can spare your life! But from now on, you are never allowed to leave the Lu family again!"

Lu Hongyuan spoke in a thunderous voice, drawing the gazes of all the surrounding cultivators.

"You're becoming more and more noisy."

Lu Changfeng said indifferently:

"If you want to kill me, just say so. Where do all these useless words come from?!"

"Little bastard! You deserve to die!"

Lu Hongyuan flew into a rage and shouted fiercely:

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?!"
