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

Chapter 1039: Chapter 367: There are 3,000,000 Sword Cultivators in the world, but they must all lower their brows when they see me._3 Chapter 1039: Chapter 367: There are 3,000,000 Sword Cultivators in the world, but they must all lower their brows when they see me._3 The remaining two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, seeing this, dared not hesitate and quickly transformed into escape lights to flee, fearing another golden arrow would be shot at them.

Although they had a purpose for this trip,

their main goal was still wealth, and they couldn’t possibly sacrifice their lives here.

Seeing the remaining two in a panic-stricken flight, Lu Ping’an let out a long breath and put away the Dark Gold Bow.

The arrow he had just shot had been the condensation of the ‘Thunderstorm Ring’ Technique and Magical Powers mastered from Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family.

It endowed his attack with the force of wind and lightning!

This was his first time using it in real combat, and its power proved quite effective.

Not only could he fend off the enemy, but he also didn’t need to reveal his own strength.

“Big brother?”

Lu Qingsong was still dumbfounded as he looked at his elder brother.

To be within White Tiger Mountain, yet a single arrow shot from such a distance had killed a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

He simply couldn’t comprehend such strength.

“Before my breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, I encountered some serendipity; my Body Refinement has already broken through to the Second Level, so my strength is a bit stronger than an average Foundation Establishment Cultivator,”

Lu Ping’an said gently to his younger brother as he smiled and explained.

“Second Level Body Refinement?”

“Stronger than an average Foundation Establishment Cultivator by several points?”

Lu Qingsong, upon hearing such words, didn’t know what to say for a moment.

He understood Second Level Body Refinement.

But he couldn’t grasp how one arrow could kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

After all, being only slightly stronger than another Cultivator, it would be quite difficult to kill them, let alone instantly.

Even though his older brother’s arrow just now had an element of surprise, such strength couldn’t simply be explained by being “several points stronger.”

Lu Qingsong didn’t continue to press Lu Ping’an for details but took a deep breath, nodded and said, “Good, with you, big brother, holding down White Tiger Mountain, I can rest easy in the future.”

At this moment, he understood why their father had assigned his older brother to hold down White Tiger Mountain.

Because their father had always been clear about Lu Ping’an’s strength, with him there, White Tiger Mountain could indeed rest easy!

“Big brother, I’ll go handle the situation.”

Lu Qingsong continued, quickly stepping forward to manage the situation at the mountain gate.

He didn’t explain whether it was him or someone else who had acted just now.

The unknown is fearsome, incalculable might!

Often, the unknown methods are more daunting.

He had the Nine Netherhound bring back the outside bodies of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, took their magic artifacts and Storage Bags, then with a cold and authoritative air, ordered one person, “Hang this corpse outside the mountain gate, and tell others that if any Robber Cultivator dares to attack White Tiger Mountain, they will meet the same fate!”

“Yes, Mountain Master!”

White Tiger Mountain had not only the Cultivators from the Zhao Family of yesteryears, but also those from Tie Mulim Mo Family and the Ning Family of Xi Mountain.

The incident just now had filled them all with dread.

The two Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators had been able to sense a trace of Foundation Establishment Mana from the arrow.

These people were merely Energy Refining Cultivators.

They couldn’t be certain whether it was someone’s direct action or some treasure involved.

And with no Foundation Establishment Cultivator sitting in White Tiger Mountain, with Mountain Master Lu Qingsong having just disappeared, they speculated that Lu Qingsong must possess some Exotic Treasure.

After all, Lu Qingsong’s father, Lu Changsheng, was considered a legendary figure.

He dared to have a son in the Qi Refinement Realm hold down and control White Tiger Mountain, how could he possibly not provide him with an ace up his sleeve!

…

News of the events at White Tiger Mountain spread to the surrounding Family Forces the next day.

Everyone who heard this news was utterly shocked.

Indeed, to kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a single arrow was terrifying!

Who wouldn’t be fearful upon hearing of such means!

Several families friendly with Bi Lake Mountain and White Tiger Mountain even sent people under the guise of a visit to check the situation at White Tiger Mountain.

When they saw the headless corpse hanging outside the mountain gate and confirmed it was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they were all internally shaken.

They conjectured wildly about what sort of methods Lu Changsheng had hidden in White Tiger Mountain.

Meanwhile, at Jinlong Ridge Jin Family,

“Quite the White Tiger Mountain, quite the Lu Changsheng, truly well hidden!”

The Patriarch of Jin Family looked at the information in his hand, his expression slightly condensed.

Those three Robber Cultivators that appeared on White Tiger Mountain last night obviously didn’t go there for no reason to plunder.

It was he who wanted to test Bi Lake Mountain, had someone issue a bounty task, provided Prohibition-Breaking Talismans and Forbidden Technique Artifacts, that resulted in three Robber Cultivators willing to make a move against White Tiger Mountain.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Robber Cultivators wouldn’t expend great cost to forcefully attack a certain family.

Unless that family possessed some kind of fortuitous treasure, and lacked a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in charge.

The Patriarch of Jin Family didn’t hesitate and went straight to report this news to the Elder Ancestor of his family.

…

At Bi Lake Mountain,

“Three Robber Cultivators, killed by a single arrow.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the information coming from White Tiger Mountain and chuckled.

Others might not know what happened, but he as the father was crystal clear.

After all, the means Lu Ping’an used were all given to him by his father.

“With Ping’an holding down White Tiger Mountain, unless a False Core took action, there shouldn’t be any danger.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled softly.

However, even though that was what he said, after such an incident at White Tiger Mountain, he still made a trip outside to check on the situation.

Moreover, this sudden attack by three Robber Cultivators also made him speculate whether it had something to do with other powers.

Especially since the Demon Subjugation Order had just concluded, it would be unlikely for any Robber Cultivators to show up and cause trouble at this time.

…

In Yue Country, Jinyang Sect,

“Qing Shan, how confident are you in this journey to Heavenly Sword Sect to ask for a sword duel?”

Tianyuan True Immortal, dressed in a grand red robe, her figure voluptuous and charming, took a delicate sip from the wine gourd in her hand, her face slightly flushed and lazily said.

Back when the Purple Shadow Secret Realm ended, Lu Qingshan promised Yujian Zhenren of the Heavenly Sword Sect to visit for a sword duel within ten years.

Now, with only one year left of the decade-long promise, she was preparing to send Lu Qingshan to the Heavenly Sword Sect for the duel.

Lu Qingshan, with a handsome face and piercing eyes, listened to his master’s words, his expression serene and confidently said, “Among the three million sword cultivators in the world, all must lower their gazes upon seeing me.”

“….”

Tianyuan True Immortal was speechless upon hearing her disciple’s words.

After a while, she finally spoke, “Say these words in front of me if you like, but if you speak them at the Heavenly Sword Sect, I won’t be able to protect you.”

“Heh Heh, isn’t this just showing that I’m confident and assured?”

Lu Qingshan smiled and replied.

“While it’s a sword duel, Yujian Zhenren intends to use you to hone his sect’s disciples. When we get to the Heavenly Sword Sect, keep the actual dueling separate and remember to be somewhat mindful…”

Tianyuan True Immortal spoke earnestly, revealing a bit of a serious expression as she instructed her disciple.

This trip to the Heavenly Sword Sect was a great chance for her disciple to be tempered.

But she knew well the nature of her disciple—reckless to the extreme.

And the sword cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect wouldn’t be much different.

If this disciple gave no face to the Heavenly Sword Sect’s disciples during the duels, it could easily cause trouble.

“Don’t worry, Master. I understand. Friendship first, dueling second.”

Lu Qingshan might be proud, but he wasn’t foolish and comprehended what was at stake.

His trip to the Heavenly Sword Sect was primarily for sparring and exchange, so of course, he had to keep the host’s dignity in mind.

If the sparring ended up insulting the hosts, it would be tantamount to slapping the face of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and things wouldn’t end well after.

Even if the Heavenly Sword Sect didn’t say anything outright, it would still be like making a formidable enemy.

“Since you understand, I won’t say much more.”

Tianyuan True Immortal nodded, instructing Lu Qingshan to say his goodbyes to Lu Qingzhu before heading to the Heavenly Sword Sect.

However, Lu Qingshan suggested that since his sister was bored alone in the sect, it would be better to go together to broaden her horizons.

Hearing this, Tianyuan True Immortal said it was fine as long as Lu Qingzhu was willing and subsequently took the siblings to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
