Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 156 - 147 Chaos [Third Night Watch!]

Each of the three sects lost three hundred and sixty spirit stones because of the two, and the lower-tier spiritual medicines were also not collected.

The combined losses were substantial.

It was even possible that they would secretly send people to kill Lu Qingshan and Qingyu out of spite.

It was more than just spite.

Although the spirit stones were handed over to the Luoxia Sect, the techniques and magic artifacts exhibited by the two in the lower levels of the Hundred Herbs Garden, especially the Seven Evil Banner capable of summoning seven-headed evil spirits, would certainly attract attention.

Whether it was the techniques or the Seven Evil Banner, being in the hands of two True Qi Realm disciples was enough to tempt certain cultivators.

With Lu Qingfeng stationed at Silver Horn Mountain, those with lesser cultivation would not dare to come. Those with higher cultivation, at least at the Body Refining and Nourishing Yuan Realms, would find the risk of offending Qingfeng and the Luoxia Sect too great over a simple First Rank magic artifact and techniques that may or may not be forced out.

They could guarantee temporary safety.

After digesting the gains from the Hundred Herbs Garden, the strength of Qingshan and Qingyu would significantly increase. Even after Qingfeng's ascension to Foundation Establishment, their means of defense and protection would grow.

There would be no rush to venture out until then.

"Um."

Lu Qingshan and Qingyu nodded upon hearing this.

The siblings had followed Qingfeng since they were young and had no issue staying in one place for a long time, having wandered around Crying Swamp for over seven years.

Knowing the situation, they had no objections to temporarily residing in Silver Horn Mountain.

…

The three Lu siblings remained in Silver Horn Mountain without venturing out.

Yet the situation in the Juyun Mountain Range changed three times a day.

First, the various industries of the Luoxia Sect were repeatedly attacked by demon beasts or mysterious cultivators.

Six cities then consecutively suffered beast tides assaulting them, with officials and generals frequently targeted by secret attacks.

Although the Luoxia Sect responded early, the losses were still significant, and they couldn't manage the fires everywhere. They could only defend while investigating.

Whether there were other unseen arrangements remained unknown.

However, the other three sects within the Juyun Four Sects soon suffered the same fate—

Their businesses were attacked.

Disorders arose in their cities.

With four hundred years of deep roots in the Juyun Mountain Range, the Luoxia Sect struck back with the force of thunder, unafraid to resist the other three sects alone.

When Qingfeng left Wind Roar Cliff, he sensed a storm brewing.

Yet the storm arrived faster and more fiercely than he had imagined.

The covert battles among the Four Sects escalated unceasingly.

In a short time.

The chaos of the Juyun Mountain Range began to reveal itself.

…

"Have you heard? The gathering of the Juyun Four Sects at Wind Roar Cliff this time wasn't a small event!"

"That's right. Reliable intel, Red Rainbow Sect lost four Foundation Establishment Elders, and the Luoxia Sect's True Qi Realm disciples produced two phenomenons who suppressed disciples from the other three sects, dominating the scene impressively."

"I see, no wonder the Juyun Four Sects have been so unsettled these days!"

"It's good to have a bit of commotion. If the Four Sects were united as one, where would there be a place for us loose cultivators in the Juyun Mountain Range?"

"I know. These two phenomenons are the second brother and little sister of Master Lu from Silver Horn Mountain, with invincible magic artifacts refined by Master Lu and proficient techniques, invincible among the True Qi Realm. They even snatched over a thousand spirit stones at Wind Roar Cliff, incredibly wealthy!"

"Over a thousand spirit stones?!"

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

"But I heard all those spirit stones were handed over to the Luoxia Sect."

"Nonsense, if it were you, would you be willing to part with them?"

…

With the chaos in the Juyun Mountain Range and the covert battles of the Four Sects,

the three Lu's were also dragged into the mess.

It was unclear whether someone intentionally leaked the information or for some other reason.

Seemingly overnight, the names of Qingfeng, Qingshan, and Qingyu spread throughout the entire Juyun Mountain Range—

Qingfeng, a Dan and Artifact Double Extreme, immensely wealthy!

Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu dominated Wind Roar Cliff, earning countless Spirit Stones and amassing a huge fortune!

Over a thousand Spirit Stones have clearly been handed over to the Luoxia Sect, yet the true and false news in the Juyun Mountain Range is mixed. Even the disciples within the Luoxia Sect, aside from the elders and disciples who witnessed the scene at Wind Roar Cliff that day, harbor doubts in their hearts.

Ask themselves.

Over a thousand Spirit Stones is by no means a small figure; even the Luoxia Sect would need twenty to thirty years to accumulate such an amount.

Hand over the Spirit Stones they obtained through their own abilities?

Unwilling!

Thus.

The image of the Lu's siblings in the Juyun Mountain Range instantly became that of 'fat sheep,' with numerous cultivators focusing their gaze on Silver Horn Mountain.

...

Two months after the visit to the Hundred Herbs Garden ended.

Silver Horn Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng was cultivating in his cave dwelling, when he suddenly opened his eyes, his figure flashed, and he appeared outside the cave in a fleeting moment.

His eyes twinkled with spirit light, and an elusive shadow was revealed in his field of vision.

"Who dares?!"

Lu Qingfeng bellowed, stretching out a hand, and his palm thundered with energy.

Crack!

A bolt of thunder appeared in the void ahead, and as it twisted, the elusive shadow's traces were revealed.

This person was thin as a rake, holding a piece of torn cloth, and appeared to be around seventy years of age.

His magical technique was suddenly exposed, showing a frightened face.

Immediately after, his expression changed, showing surprise, "I didn't expect that Master Lu not only excels in both Alchemy and Artifact but is also proficient in such Thunder Skill."

This person's voice was gloomy, causing irritation in the hearts of those who heard it.

"I was wondering who it was!"

"Turns out it's Chanyun Old Ghost!"

Lu Qingfeng looked at the newcomer, recognizing his identity.

This gaunt old man, known as 'Chanyun Old Ghost' within the Juyun Mountain Range, had quite a reputation. His Chanyun skill could both attack and defend, and was indeed formidable. He also had a treasure in his possession that could conceal his tracks, making it a top-notch tool for both ambushes and escapes.

It's no wonder such a character dared to be the first to cause trouble at Silver Horn Mountain.

"I'm only after wealth and not out for lives. If Master Lu is willing to give up five hundred Spirit Stones, I will leave immediately, without further disturbance."

"How about it?"

Rumors in the Juyun Mountain Range suggested that this Master Lu was only at the Foundation Establishment Condensing Liquid Realm.

But the fact that he saw through his tracks at a glance, and forced him to reveal himself with a Thunder Skill, clearly indicated that he was no ordinary Condensed Liquid Realm Practitioner.

Chanyun Old Ghost was cautious, unwilling to be the first to take action, and spoke.

"Spirit Stones?"

"How about not at all."

Lu Qingfeng's brows slightly knitted, his palm turned over, and another Hand Heart Thunder struck down, targeting Chanyun Old Ghost.

"No entanglements allowed!"

Chanyun Old Ghost's hands flew, forming gestures, and the Chanyun technique was cast. Clouds like silk ribbons, danced and collided with the thunder.

Boom!

Thunder roared, and the silk ribbons were torn apart.

Taking advantage of the collision, Chanyun Old Ghost turned and fled.

The strength of Lu Qingfeng's Thunder Skill was beyond Chanyun Old Ghost's imagination. Having lost the advantage of a sneak attack, and 'equally' in the Condensing Liquid Realm, Chanyun Old Ghost considered himself unable to defeat Lu Qingfeng quickly.

Furthermore, should there be the slightest delay, people from Jin Yun Peak seven hundred miles away would come, and he would meet his end here.

Therefore, Chanyun Old Ghost made a decisive move, without a moment's hesitation.

Worthy of being amongst the strongest Loose Cultivators in the Juyun Mountain Range.

Lu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back at the original spot, making no move to pursue.

"There are a number of powerful Loose Cultivators in the Juyun Mountain Range, and the Luoxia Sect has been greatly distracted by the Four Sects. Chanyun Old Ghost thus harbors a hope of taking advantage by chance. By repelling him today, cultivators of the Condensed Liquid Realm and those below it will have to weigh their options before coming to Silver Horn Mountain again in the future."

"As for the cultivators of the Pei Yuan Realm, Body Tempering Realm—"
