Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 84: Chapter 81: Slaying the Lackeys of the Noble Families, Obtaining a Seventh-Grade Opportunity_4

However, even so, people eager to enter the Immortal Cave Mansion are still endless.

Moreover, there is no wall that doesn’t let the wind through.

As time goes on, the news of the Immortal Cave Mansion and the Immortal Token gradually begins to spread.

Known by some with ulterior motives.

Undoubtedly, Chen Yaochuan, the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army, is such a person; who knows how he learned about the Immortal Cave Mansion in the depths of Yunmeng Lake.

”But why does Chen Yaochuan target our Lu Family?”

”The three great families of Yunze City also know the secret, and they all possess the Immortal Token.”

”Could it be that they think our Lu Family is easy to bully?”

One Lu Family elder gnashed his teeth, feeling very perplexed.

After all, Yunze City is home to three great noble families: the Lu Family, Xie Family, and Mu Family.

The Lu Family controls the Money Gang, possessing numerous shops and black markets in Yunze City.

The Mu Family, on the other hand, controls Yunze City’s military, with Mu Da, the patriarch of Mu Family, as the City Lord of Yunze City and Martial Arts Grandmaster, a person of immense power.

The Xie Family is quite low-key, not holding much power, merely controlling a fleet and monopolizing the fish catch business of Yunmeng Lake and the harbor business, earning a fortune daily.

But the Xie Family’s might is the most terrifying, because there once was a cultivator with Spirit Root from the Xie Family, reportedly cultivating in the Immortal Realm, and no one dares to provoke them.

Even without the cultivator’s descendants, merely a few Martial Arts Grandmasters from the Xie Family are untouchable.

Only the Lu Family looks wealthy and prestigious, yet in reality is the weakest among the three noble families.

Currently, only Patriarch Lu Kai, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, stands for the Lu Family.

The rest of the elders are only at the Refining Organ Realm, with no hope of becoming grandmasters in their lifetime.

”As reluctant as I am to admit, Chen Yaochuan just sees our Lu Family as easy to bully.”

”That’s why he targets us repeatedly.”

”And soon the Red Eyebrow Army will attack Yunze City again.”

”If the city falls, it will be a catastrophic disaster for our Lu Family.”

Patriarch Lu Kai gnashed his teeth, feeling deeply unwilling.

After enjoying so many years of luxury and wealth, how can one tolerate such things happening?

In order to protect the power of the Lu Family, they will stop at nothing.

”Patriarch, what should we do now?”

”Can we unite with the other two noble families to resist the Red Eyebrow Army?”

”Yes, we must not let the Red Eyebrow Army breach Yunze City at any cost.”

Numerous elders are highly anxious, no longer concerned with petty matters like revenge against the young couple, for the impending disaster for the Lu Family weighs heavily on their minds.

If this crisis is not overcome, the Lu Family might be utterly doomed.

Therefore, in the face of life and death, all other things must be set aside.

As for the death of Lu Wenda, it’s just the loss of one member of the Lu Family.

Compared to the entire family, that’s insignificant.

”Even combined, we have only four or five grandmasters.”

”However, it’s said that Chen Yaochuan has spent a great deal to invite several grandmasters from outside.”

”It can be said that victory is his for the taking.”

”So urgent is his action, it seems that Chen Yaochuan knows the Immortal Cave Mansion will soon open.”

”That’s why he aims to quickly attack our Yunze City.”

”Thus, we need to prepare on two fronts.”

Patriarch Lu Kai spoke solemnly.

”Patriarch, what preparations do we need to make?”

Many elders inquired.

They understand that now is the moment of life and death for the Lu Family.

No matter the circumstances, everyone needs to unite.

”We need to choose the candidates for entering the Immortal Cave Mansion.”

”If Yunze City can hold, then fine.”

”If it cannot hold, then we need to send people through the secret passage out of Yunze City, taking the Immortal Token with them.”

”As long as the Immortal Token remains, our Lu Family can rise again sooner or later.”

”If a descendant with Spirit Root emerges, that would be a complete breakthrough.”

”So even if we perish, the Immortal Token cannot be lost.”

Patriarch Lu Kai said bluntly.

”Yes, Patriarch.”

Many elders nod, undoubtedly the patriarch has prepared for the worst outcome.

No matter what, as a clan established for hundreds of years, it’s not so easy for enemies to eradicate the Lu Family.

...

Three days later.

Originally Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei remained at home, living a peaceful life.

Quietly eliminating Lu Wenda did not bring him any trouble.

After all, his actions were extremely secretive, with no witnesses.

Even if there were witnesses, he had already disguised himself at that time.

So it’s impossible to find where he actually was.

Virtually all hidden risks have been eliminated.

However, what puzzled him was that the Lu Family didn’t go to great lengths to find the killer of Lu Wenda; instead, they held back, even instructing their descendants to restrain their behavior and not leave the inner city.

As a result, without the troubles caused by the Lu Family’s spoiled children, the outer city of Yunze City had better security.

Yet Jiang Fan felt the Lu Family wouldn’t change their nature just because of this matter.

Something significant must have occurred for the Lu Family to become so congenial.

After all, a dog can’t change its habit of eating feces.

For such an arrogant and reckless Lu Family to hold back like this, it must be because something major has happened.

Surely, his intuition was correct.
