Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 641: Arrogant?
Translation:
The words had barely left his lips.
Just as Qiu Tongwu intended to leave the Cui Family's reception hall.
Wan Xiangtian spoke with a cold smile, "Guest Master Qiu, please wait just a moment!"
Qiu Tongwu paused mid-step. Given the high likelihood of this Third Prince ascending the throne in the future, they, as Guest Elders, needed to rely on the royal family's cultivation resources, so he showed a lot of respect for Wan Xiangtian.
"After three sticks of incense have burned, I will represent the Royal Family of the Illusory Flame Kingdom and personally punish the Lu Family of the City Lord's Mansion. Anyone who wishes to witness this, I welcome you," Wan Xiangtian said, addressing Cui Yisong and Cui Guangxian.
He saw this as an excellent opportunity to assert his authority. Next, he needed to recruit some of the city lords to his cause. Some people simply wouldn't see reason until they were faced with the inevitability of dire consequences. This time, he would let others witness his ruthless methods; naturally, the more onlookers there were, the wider the news of his dealing with the Lu Family would spread.
Upon the command of the Third Prince, Cui Yisong and Cui Guangxian immediately nodded their agreement before hurrying outside.
Time ticked by second by second.
As the time of three sticks of incense approached, Qiu Tongwu and Wan Xiangtian, among others, finally left the Cui Mansion and flew towards the City Lord's Mansion of the Lu Family.
At this moment.
The news of a Transcendence Tribulation Stage powerhouse from the Royal Family spread wildly throughout Spirit Water City, and upon learning that the Third Prince welcomed them to observe.
Suddenly.
Many cultivators from Spirit Water City rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion, convinced of the Lu Family's impending doom and naturally siding with the royal family. Quite a few of them were even thinking about finding an opportunity to forge a relationship with the Third Prince!
As more and more cultivators converged on the City Lord's Mansion.
Out of the blue.
With a "boom!"
The entire City Lord's Mansion was enveloped in a blue barrier.
Shen Feng and Lu Xiangfu, along with others, were still in the underground stone chamber. This protective formation had been activated by the wives of the Lu Family, including Lu Guangwen's spouse. Sensing the approach of an ominous tide of energy, they rightly assumed the arrivals bore ill intent.
Lu Guangwen's wife was a decisively quick thinker, which is why she led the women in activating the formation first. Immediately afterward, she contacted Lu Guangwen through a message-transmitting jade tablet.
Not long after the appearance of the City Lord's Mansion's barrier.
One after another, many cultivators arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Some stood outside the mansion, while others floated above it. In no time at all, the entire area was densely surrounded by people, and within a thousand meters of the City Lord's Mansion at the center, spreading out in all directions, were cultivators—it seemed like nearly every cultivator from Spirit Water City had gathered there.
The wives, including Lu Guangwen's spouse, stood in the courtyard, looking up at the dense crowd in the sky, their faces turning ghostly pale. They were still unaware of their ancestor Lu Xiangfu's revival, and of the presence of the Carefree Immortal Emperor in their family.
"Lu Yixiang, Lu Yuanhong, I advised you before to leave the City Lord's Mansion, but you were stubbornly set in your ways. Did you think you were being noble? Where have you hidden yourselves now? Let me tell you, this time the Royal Family has sent a Tribulation Transcendence Stage elder, and all you'll get is the honor of accompanying the City Lord's Mansion in burial," a voice full of mockery sounded from above. An old man in a green robe with dark spots on his face cast a playful smirk. He was Lu Boxiong, the former Third Elder of the City Lord's Mansion, with a cultivation at the peak of Swallowing Spirit, and the voice was his.
Many former members of the City Lord's Mansion stood behind Lu Boxiong. Among them were many who shared the blood of the Lu Family, all wearing smiles as they looked down at the female family members down below, feeling that their decision to switch sides was absolutely correct.
Just then.
Lu Wansheng, Lu Guangwen, Feng Lianghai, Lu Yixiang, and Cui Qingyan, among others, all gathered in the courtyard where the female family members were.
Now only Shen Feng and Lu Xiangfu remained underground.
Upon receiving the message from his wife, Lu Guangwen had immediately shared its content. They were all still reeling from the shock of the Thousand Longevity Pill!
After learning of the message.
After seeking Shen Feng's opinion, Lu Wansheng and the others left the stone chamber ahead of him. Originally, Lu Xiangfu could have also restored his sealed cultivation, albeit at a slower pace. Right now, Shen Feng was the only one who could lend him a helping hand. He had not expected the Royal Family of the Illusory Flame Kingdom to take action so swiftly.
Lu Wansheng and his group had just heard Lu Boxiong's ridicule. After arriving in the courtyard, the group of women felt temporarily relieved.
The expressions on the faces of Lu Wansheng and his group were still somewhat stunned; they had yet to recover from the shock of the previous encounter with the Thousand Longevity Pill.
However, to the cultivators observing from the sky above, it seemed as if Lu Wansheng and the others were intimidated by such a show of force, prompting smirks of disdain to appear on their faces.
Lu Boxiong felt even more triumphant, "Lu Wansheng, if you want the Lu Family to be destroyed, don't drag us down with you. I, Lu Boxiong, declare again that I have nothing to do with the Lu Family anymore."
After he spoke,
the other members of the Lu Family behind him also began to speak up.
"I have long been unrelated to the City Lord's Mansion's Lu Family. I am here to join in the condemnation of the Lu Family's actions."
"Exactly, the Lu Family of the City Lord's Mansion is not worth staying for. I want to witness with my own eyes all these people being slain by the Royal Family."
...
While the betrayers of the Lu Family were acting righteously indignant,
suddenly,
a commotion arose in the sky nearby, and from afar, a path was cleared through the crowd in the sky.
Wan Xiangtian and Qiu Tongwu were seen rapidly approaching, while Cui Yisong and Cui Guangxian accompanied them at their side.
In no time at all,
Wan Xiangtian and Qiu Tongwu and their party arrived above the City Lord's Mansion.
Qiu Tongwu, looking at the barrier enveloping the City Lord's Mansion, scoffed with disdain, "What good is a formation barrier like this? It's completely unnecessary!"

Indeed,
the barrier currently enveloping the City Lord's Mansion could at most fend off cultivators at the Sea Transformation Stage, but it was incapable of stopping a Transcendance Tribulation Stage powerhouse.
Seeing the appearance of Wan Xiangtian and others, Lu Boxiong hurriedly greeted them, saying with utmost respect, "Third Prince, I was originally a member of the City Lord's Mansion. This matter has nothing to do with us. I am loyal to the Royal Family, and now that I have left the City Lord's Mansion, I am willing to be at your beck and call."
Wan Xiangtian was quite satisfied with Lu Boxiong's attitude. It would be quite amusing to let these traitors from the City Lord's Mansion kill the current members of the City Lord's Mansion by their own hands.
With this thought, he nodded and said, "Rest assured, I am not an unreasonable man."
As his gaze turned downward,
Shen Feng also emerged from the underground stone chamber. With his help, it would take no more than five more minutes for Lu Xiangfu's sealed cultivation to be fully restored.
Shen Feng's figure rose slightly into the air. Glancing at the dense crowd of cultivators in the sky and those spreading across the ground, he suddenly bellowed, "Listen up, everyone! I'm giving you all a chance to live."
"Anyone who retreats beyond two thousand meters from the City Lord's Mansion, I will consider you uninvolved in today's affairs. But anyone who stays within two thousand meters, I will take it as you wish to fight to the death against the City Lord's Mansion!"
No sooner had he spoken than
the whole world fell into an eerie silence.
The cultivators outside the City Lord's Mansion were somewhat dumbfounded. Who was this upstart who had suddenly appeared, and how dare he utter such harsh words? Did he truly have the power to back them up?
