Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1266: Chapter 826: Unpredictable Ghost Sect

Ancient County City, the Lu family.

Li Chang held Yang Zhenshan’s letter and arrived at Lu Fusheng’s courtyard.

The war between the Spiritual Three Sects and the Nether Prison Sect had temporarily ceased, and Lu Fusheng returned. He had participated significantly in this war, from the great battle outside the Ancient Relic Array to the final intense battles east of Yu Mountain Town, in which he was also involved. For this, he had sustained considerable injuries, which took a year to heal.

Now that the war had paused, the Lu family also gained a brief respite.

In the room filled with an ancient aromatic ambiance, Li Chang stood respectfully in front of Lu Fusheng and handed him the letter.

Lu Fusheng opened the letter and skimmed through it, a flash of brilliance passing through his eyes.

”Brother Yang has successfully reached Foundation Establishment?”

Li Chang bowed his head and said, ”The Family Head completed Foundation Establishment a year ago!”

”Haha, good, good, good!” Lu Fusheng clapped his hands and laughed heartily.

Yang Zhenshan’s successful Foundation Establishment truly brought Lu Fusheng heartfelt joy.

In his mind, Yang Zhenshan was already the most crucial ally of the Lu family. Previously, he had thought Yang Zhenshan’s cultivation was slightly lacking, but now that Yang Zhenshan had completed Foundation Establishment, he would become the most reliable ally for the Lu family.

Even more important than the Illusion Moon Sect, because in the Illusion Moon Sect’s mind, the Lu family was merely a subordinate family, whereas, with Yang Zhenshan, they could trust each other with their lives as allies.

That’s right, Lu Fusheng truly valued Yang Zhenshan as an ally because they were comrades who had fought life-and-death battles together.

Looking at the letter in his hand, he stroked his three-foot-long beautiful beard and said, ”There’s no problem in helping to contact the elders of the Illusion Moon Sect, but getting the Illusion Moon Sect to support the Yang family might be a bit challenging!”

”May Senior Lu speak openly!” Li Chang said.

Lu Fusheng said, ”The Lian family used to be a subsidiary of the Wuxiang Sect, and the Illusion Moon Sect may not be willing to conflict with the Wuxiang Sect at this time!”

What he considered was something Yang Zhenshan had thought of earlier.

”The Family Head stated that if it succeeds, it’s great; if not, it’s no big deal. Overall, this is an opportunity, and the Family Head feels it’s necessary to fight for it!” Li Chang said.

Lu Fusheng nodded slightly, ”It’s good that Brother Yang is prepared. In that case, there’s no time to lose, I shall head to the Illusion Moon Sect now, and you stay here and wait for my news!”

Naturally, he supported the Yang family’s fight for the status of a family. If the Yang family could become a family, then the alliance between the two families would be even stronger.

At that time, they would speak with more confidence in front of the Illusion Moon Sect.

To be honest, he really didn’t like the Illusion Moon Sect, as the Lu family was a subordinate to the Illusion Moon Sect, and he had to always show deference to them.

How can a true man live under another’s command?

Lu Fusheng was not someone who could endure humiliation. If not for the Lu family needing the Illusion Moon Sect’s support, he really wouldn’t want to be a dog for the Illusion Moon Sect.

Yes, being a dog.

The twelve families can flaunt their power in front of the lower Martial Arts Family, but in front of the Three Major Sects, they can only bow and scrape.

...

The night falls, and the bright moon rises, Illusion Moon Lake is paved like broken silver. Nine jade platforms stand surrounded, moon soul lamps hang with flames, azure flowing, and the waves shimmer like frost.

On the lake’s surface, several young Illusion Moon Foxes often tread the waters playing, their long tails shimmering silver frost, illusion eyes embedded with ghostly flames. Their toes lightly tapping on the lake surface blossomed into blue lotuses, and the shattered moon shadows transformed into floating fireflies, dancing around the nine jade platforms.

With a disciple of the Illusion Moon Sect leading the way, Lu Fusheng walked along the lakeside to the Mirror Abyss Pavilion. Looking at the playful Illusion Moon Foxes in the lake, he couldn’t help but reveal a look of envy.

The Illusion Moon Fox is a First-order Mutant Beast, possessing late First-order strength once matured, comparable to a Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artist, and if carefully nurtured, it has a significant chance to grow into a Second-Order Mutant Beast.

The Illusion Moon Sect got its name from the Illusion Moon Fox, and Illusion Moon Lake got its name from the Illusion Moon Sect.

This Illusion Moon Lake is not the Illusion Moon Sect’s residence, but the habitat of the Illusion Moon Foxes.

The Lu family also has Golden Feathered Eagles, but they can’t compare to the Illusion Moon Foxes.

Mature Golden Feathered Eagles also possess late First-order strength, but they have difficulty advancing to Second-Order because the Golden Feathered Eagle does not have the bloodline for Second-Order.

A bloodline is not a requisite for a Mutant Beast’s advancement, but it is one of the most crucial talents for advancement.

For example, the Green Wolf King, don’t assume it’s an ordinary Mutant Beast. Its ancestors were demon beasts reared by the Sun True Sect, although that was ten thousand years ago, the Green Wolf King still carries the bloodline of the Ancient Demon Beast.

Moreover, the Ancient Relic Arrays nurture a significant amount of natural treasures, which, after consuming numerous spirit medicines and spiritual fruits, allowed the Green Wolf King to complete its advancement.

The Golden Feathered Eagles of the Lu family are only slightly stronger than the Flying Slave Eagles and Red Cloud Horses from the Spirit Source Land, they too have great difficulty advancing.

With the disciple leading the way, Lu Fusheng stepped into the Mirror Abyss Pavilion and ascended the steps. The Han Baiyu steps exuded a cool moonlit glow, while the bronze lampposts on both sides coiled with devouring moon chi dragons.

The cloud-patterned windows on the second floor of the pavilion were half-open, the rustling sound of bamboo slips being turned came through, occasionally, maids lifted the curtains with slender hands, and the fleeting light of silver hairpins on their temples fell, sinking into the lake along with the osmanthus leaves drifting from the eaves.

And behind the sheer curtain, a graceful woman lay half-reclined on a bed, holding a bamboo slip, quietly reading.

Inside the pavilion, sandalwood incense wafted, mixed with a faint rouge fragrance. Lu Fusheng stood outside the curtain and cupped his hands in salute, ”Lu Fusheng of the Lu family greets the Sect Master!”

The woman before him was the Sect Master of the Illusion Moon Sect, Yue Qing, known as Fairy Yue Qing.

Yue Qing is not her name, but her Taoist title. Each elder of the Illusion Moon Sect has a Taoist title, and upon achieving the level of Martial God, they forsake their original name, using only their Taoist title.
