Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1183: Chapter 789: Lu Fusheng Takes Action

“Where is your hiding place?” Yang Zhenshan continued to ask.

He naturally knew the other party’s hiding place, but he still wanted to ask, mainly to let Lu Jianghua know.

“In a manor in Locust Tree Village in the northwest of Nanxia County!” Zhou Yuntao said dejectedly.

He knew he was done for.

Although he confessed to everything he knew, he was well aware that the Lu family would not let him go.

But he still confessed everything honestly, just seeking a quick end.

Yang Zhenshan stood up, looked at Lu Jianghua, and smiled, “Young Master Lu, I’ll leave this person to you. I strongly suggest that the Lu family quickly send people to eliminate this group. The longer it takes, the greater the threat to the Lu family!”

“Thank you for your care, senior, I will promptly report to my family!” Lu Jianghua stood up and cupped his fist as a sign of respect.

…

Within the Lu family’s residence in the town of Ancient County.

The Family Head, Lu You’an, stood before the stone door engraved with complex runes, his face solemn as he shouted, “You’an respectfully requests father come out of seclusion!”

From within the stone door, a deep voice responded, “What’s the matter?”

“Four days ago, the workshops in Tianbao County, Suihua County, and Nanxia County were simultaneously attacked. Investigations have revealed that the attackers came from Dazhen, Nanzhao, and Dayun!”

“The war with the Three Sects is still unresolved, and trouble has arisen from behind. I am powerless and can only ask father to come out and take charge of the situation!”

Lu You’an said in a dull tone.

Since the Lu family took control of the Ancient County, Lu Fusheng had almost always been in seclusion. Initially, he was trying to break through, then to stabilize his cultivation, and now he is still in long-term seclusion.

All matters of the Lu family had thus fallen onto the shoulders of Lu You’an as the Family Head.

He could still manage the pressure from the Illusion Moon Sect by forcing the Martial Arts Families to send people to Yu Mountain Town to fight.

But facing the combined attack from three kingdoms, Lu You’an was somewhat overwhelmed.

The main problem was that he lacked usable resources; the Lu family could no longer allocate more strength to deal with the provocations from the three kingdoms.

The stone door slowly opened, and a tall figure emerged from within.

Lu Fusheng, tall and broad, stood as straight as a pine. His face was dignified, filled with determination and steadiness. Black whiskers flowed down his chin, like ink-dyed threads fluttering in the wind. His deep eyes seemed to conceal oceans and stars. His aura was naturally grand and majestic like a mountain, awe-inspiring without anger.

In appearance, he was very similar to Yang Zhenshan, though Yang Zhenshan’s aura had changed considerably.

The once awe-inspiring aura now carried an air of transcendent out-of-the-world spirit, with more of an Immortal Cultivator’s refined demeanor than a Martial Artist’s might.

“How’s the situation in the east?” Lu Fusheng asked.

Seeing him, Lu You’an’s somber expression significantly relaxed.

“It’s still in a stalemate, with heavy casualties on both sides, even among the Three Sects! The greatest losses are suffered by the Wuxiang Sect.”

The Wuxiang Sect, located east of the Sea of Spirit, directly faces the Nether Prison Sect’s attack.

And most of the main forces in this battle came from the Wuxiang Sect, hence their great losses.

Lu Fusheng slowly walked out of the stone chamber, then raised his head to gaze at the blue sky, “Let’s go and deal with those clowns first!”

…

On Lingxi Mountain.

Wang Lei, grinning, handed twelve storage bags to Yang Zhenshan.

“Family Head, we’ve struck it rich!”

“Struck it rich?” Yang Zhenshan picked up a storage bag in surprise, checking the contents.

His eyes lit up; it contained six to seven hundred Spirit Stones and quite a few Elixirs.

“Family Head, take a look at these two!” Wang Lei selected Zhou Yuntao and Wu Dashan’s storage bags and handed them to Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan upon seeing the contents couldn’t help but look astonished.

Each of these storage bags had over seven thousand Spirit Stones, along with a large number of elixirs, Spirit Fruits, Spiritual Medicines, and spiritual weapons.

But he quickly understood what was going on.

“Haha, these people distribute spoils rather quickly!”

It was easy to imagine that these were all from the workshops in Nanxia County.

“These people must have gained considerable benefits from the workshops in Nanxia County. Family Head, should we?” Wang Lei’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

Yang Zhenshan slapped him, “Don’t even think about it. We can take these without anyone caring, but if we pocket everything, the Lu family will certainly come for us!”

These were their spoils, and they obtained them under the protection of Lu Jianghua, so even if the Lu family knew, they wouldn’t have the face to come and demand them back.

But if they went to raid Mo Changbin, and pocketed all the things he took from Nanxia County, the Lu family, even if mindful of reputation, would probably come to settle accounts.

After all, these items were not only the Lu family’s, but also belonged to other Families.

“You’re right.” Wang Lei understood Yang Zhenshan’s point, yet he couldn’t help but suggest, “What if we hide our identities?”

It’s said that wealth inspires greed, and Wang Lei was no exception.

But resources worth thirty to forty thousand Spirit Stones are significant wealth, even if the Spirit Source Land’s annual income is nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones, this remains a considerable fortune.

Yang Zhenshan shook his head, “In tumultuous times, it’s unwise to act recklessly!”

With that, he waved his hand, throwing the twelve storage bags in front of Yang Chengmao in the Clan Hall.

These were his personal spoils, rightfully his, though he didn’t need most of the items so he just tossed them to the Clan Hall for handling.
