Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 1037: Chapter 367: There are 3 million Sword Cultivators in the world, all must lower their brows upon seeing me. Chapter 1037: Chapter 367: There are 3 million Sword Cultivators in the world, all must lower their brows upon seeing me. Bihu Mountain was as pure as Qingzhu Mountain, and the death of an Energy Refining Cultivator had piqued the curiosity of many Loose Cultivators and young Cultivators. Why was it treated with such solemnity?

When they learned that the old man was a senior relative of the Main Mother and Mountain Lord of Bihu Mountain,

they couldn’t help but sigh and take Lu Changsheng as an example to strive for.

They fantasized about rising like Lu Changsheng.

After all, the story of Lu Changsheng’s rise was both inspiring and enviable to countless Cultivators at the bottom.

White Tiger Mountain continued to operate normally during this time, unaffected by the Fourth Elder’s passing.

With the relocation of Bihu Mountain’s Puppet Workshop, White Tiger Mountain could now be considered the industrial park beneath Bihu Mountain.

Not only did the Puppet Workshop expand, but under Lu Changsheng’s guidance and arrangements, the Artifact Refining Workshop also expanded orderly and integrated Artifact Refining with Puppetry.

This night.

Outside White Tiger Mountain.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

A torrential and surging wave of Mana continually closed in on White Tiger Mountain.

The patrolling Cultivators of White Tiger Mountain immediately sent out an alert.

Shortly after, a vigorous and resolute young man, around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, hurried over.

“What’s going on?”

Lu Qingsong had been in charge of White Tiger Mountain for years, serving as the Mountain Master. To appear sufficiently authoritative, he had given up his youthful appearance and grown a pair of dense, inky mustaches.

“Mountain Master, it seems to be a stand-off between Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.”

One of the stationed Cultivators immediately reported.

“Foundation Establishment Cultivators fighting?”

Lu Qingsong, upon hearing this, looked towards the source of the Mana fluctuations and furrowed his brows.

Fighting so close to their gate was a grave offense.

It could not only damage their wood and mineral veins but also bring unnecessary trouble.

“Daoists of White Tiger Mountain, my surname is Shi, and I am the head of the Tianwei Escort Agency. I have been ambushed by Robber Cultivators on my way. Please lend aid, there will be a generous reward afterward!”

Before long, Lu Qingsong could see a tall Foundation Establishment Cultivator being pursued by two Foundation Establishment Cultivators wearing conical hats.

The pursued Cultivator looked extremely disheveled; he could only defend while being chased, shouting for help towards White Tiger Mountain.

“The Tianwei Escort Agency?”

Lu Qingsong squinted his eyes slightly.

This was a large, chain escort business operating extensively.

Ordinary Cultivators, as long as they had a clean background and some strength, could register as Escort Guards at the Tianwei Escort Agency and accept escort missions.

Places like Bihu Mountain and White Tiger Mountain, due to business needs, had many dealings with the Tianwei Escort Agency.

“Hmph, this matter doesn’t concern you White Tiger Mountain dwellers. Don’t unnecessary trouble for yourselves!”

One of the conical-hatted Foundation Establishment Cultivators coldly snorted.

“Please, daoist, lend a hand; I have a commission to fulfill. If you can help, there will be a generous reward from our Tianwei Escort Agency!”

The pursued tall Cultivator continued to shout, his voice urgent and desperate, with a plea for help.

“I don’t care who you are or where you’re from; this place is within the bounds of White Tiger Mountain. Leave at once, or you will bear the consequences!”

Lu Qingsong, facing the situation, spoke with a chilling expression, uttering a stern command.

He seemed to realize that, being merely an Energy Refining Cultivator, such words might not be deterrent enough.

At that moment, the entire Mountain Protection Array of White Tiger Mountain fully activated, and in the sky above, it appeared as if a fierce tiger was crouching, fierce and majestic, roaring at the three men with overwhelming presence.

“Our Tianwei Escort Agency has quite a bit of business with your White Tiger Mountain and Bihu Mountain. In such circumstances, you would stand by and let Robber Cultivators do as they please?”

Upon hearing this, the pursued Foundation Establishment Cultivator immediately cried out in rage and despair.

However, Lu Qingsong remained indifferent to such words and continued with an icy tone: “I’ll say it again, leave the vicinity of White Tiger Mountain immediately; otherwise, bear the consequences!”

During his words, a ghostly light emerged from the depths of White Tiger Mountain, roaring towards the sky.

It was the Nine Netherhound that guarded White Tiger Mountain.

In past years, every time minor mischief occurred at White Tiger Mountain, Lu Qingsong and the Nine Netherhound would take care of it.

Thus, surrounding families were well aware that White Tiger Mountain had a Second Order Spiritual Beast as its guardian.

Seeing this situation, the pursued Foundation Establishment Cultivator could only maneuver his Magic Artifact with an ugly expression and escape towards the mountain range along the edge of White Tiger Mountain.

Moments later, after seeing the three men leave, Lu Qingsong spoke to the patrolling Cultivators: “Be extra vigilant during this time; at the first sign of anything amiss, activate the Great Formation.”

In previous years, during Demon Subjugation Orders, Lu Qingsong had heard of Family Forces being infiltrated by robbers allying with Cultivators and using disguises to breach through internal defenses to pillage.

After all, Cultivation Families were protected by Great Formations, and unless there were internal issues, they were hard to break through in a short amount of time.

And Robber Cultivators typically value speed in their battles and do not dare to engage with other Family Forces for too long.

If unable to break through the Great Formation, they would retreat immediately.

“We understand.”

The patrolling stationed Cultivators nodded in agreement.

They all knew the Cultivation World had not been very stable these years.

Meanwhile.

The three Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had just engaged in battle halted their fight upon entering a dense forest.

“It seems White Tiger Mountain is still guarded only by a Second Order Monster Beast.”

“Not bad, our probing has shown that no Foundation Establishment Cultivators from White Tiger Mountain appeared; it seems the situation is the same as before.”

“Now that this is settled, shall we proceed with the next step?”

The three looked at each other and spoke.

Their recent actions were naturally a probe against White Tiger Mountain.

To see if White Tiger Mountain was indeed only guarded by a Second Order Spiritual Beast as their intel suggested.

If it truly was only the Beast, they would not hesitate to make their move.

Moreover, if they managed to infiltrate White Tiger Mountain with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they could easily breach the Mountain Protection Array from within and without.
