Chapter 164
164 Chapter 163-tomorrow
Lu Chaohe and Lu mingling led a few cultivators from their families and a larger group of rogue cultivators. They stopped at a level two Spirit vein at the border of Pingan County.
This was the closest level two Spirit vein to Huang Yishan, where the Huang family was trapped.
Lu Qing had expected mingchao to break through to the initial enlightenment stage before he came to resolve the matter of the Huang clan being besieged. However, there was still more than a year to go before this. During this period, the Lu clan could not remain unmoved after their allies and vassals were surrounded. That would be a heavy blow to the Lu clan’s reputation in the anling Prefecture. The vassals in various places might be shaken, and they were not sure if the Lu family really had enough leadership and if they could really be relied on.
Hence, Lu Chaohe, who was the permanent resident of the Lu clan in anling city, took up this task.
Lu tingchou had just broken through to the second-stage foundation building realm two months ago, and his realm was still unstable. Ming Ling had broken through earlier than him. He was now stabilized at the second-tier foundation building realm and could be Chaohe’s helper.
However, the two of them could not really save Huang Yishan. In fact, they couldn’t even go too deep into Pingan County.
According to the information from Erya, there were three foundation building cultivators on the other side, two of whom were ninth-tier foundation building cultivators. Chao He and Ming Ling combined couldn’t even deal with a ninth-tier foundation building cultivator. The other was said to be only at the sixth or seventh tier. They had to work together to have a chance.
In this case, going too deep into Pingan County would be suicide.
In fact, they were stationed here not to immediately help the Huang family out of their predicament, but to show that: The Lu clan was in charge of this matter.
However, they soon had no choice but to engage the enemy.
In the first four months of being stationed here, everything was fine. The Lu clan had no plans to further enter Pingan County. The enemies who came to attack had firmly trapped Huang Yishan. Neither side made any moves.
However, on a certain day four months later ...
Lu Chaohe realized that the formation that he had set up in advance had been activated. He could sense two foundation building cultivators coming from Huang Yishan.
After some assessment, one of them should be at the ninth-stage foundation building realm while the other at the sixth-stage foundation building realm.
He definitely couldn’t win if he fought them head-on, but he still decided to stand guard here.
The place they were at now was also a Grade 2 Spirit vein. Lu Chaohe was an array master himself. He had spent some time and effort to construct a large mountain-protecting array here. Although it was not as powerful as the large array that was maintained all year round, it was still dependent on the spiritual vein to play its role. He and Ming Ling were also in charge of it.
What’s more, the intruders were not very strong. They were just two foundation building cultivators, not two Qiming cultivators.
The two of them weren’t a match when fighting outside; There shouldn’t be a problem defending with the formation, right?
Furthermore, the two of them had brought more than 20 Qi refining cultivators with them to this level two Spirit vein that Lu Chaohe had recruited at the last minute. In a fight, they were of little use. They couldn’t even fly, and could only use magic tools and spells in the air from the ground. The impact they had on a battle in the foundation establishment stage was too insignificant.
However, they would still be of great help if they were to guard the formation with Lu Chaohe and Ming Ling in the spirit vein.
From the looks of it, without the intervention of the initial enlightenment cultivators, the place they were stationed in could be considered as impregnable.
That was indeed the case. The two foundation building cultivators who came in a hurry first tried to break in, but they didn’t manage to gain any advantage from the activation of the formation. After that, a dozen cultivators from the Zhao family arrived with a few Qi refining cultivators. They attacked together again. They failed again and even lost one person.
After running into a wall of steel, they realized that it was almost impossible for them to break the formation guarded by the two foundation building cultivators of the Lu clan with their current strength.
However, they did not retreat.
The two foundation building cultivators, along with nearly 20 Qi refining cultivators, were guarding the entrance of the level two Spirit vein.
From the looks of it, they wanted to trap Lu Chaohe and Lu mingling at the border of Pingan County.
......
When the news spread, the entire County was in an uproar.
The Lu family was really embarrassed this time.
After being bullied by three foundation building cultivators, the Huang clan was still trapped. Instead, two cultivators from the Lu clan were trapped in the trap, Qianqian.
On Yuyan mountain, Lu xueting was a little flustered after receiving the news. She was about to send letters to the Han clan in the North and mu Yangcheng in the South, requesting the Han clan to send a Foundation establishment cultivator to bring mu Yangcheng and herself to Pingan County to solve the problem.
Although xueting was only of the ‘ting’ generation, her status as a foundation building cultivator gave her a high status in the clan. This was especially so now that the clan head had gone to the sect, mingchao was in seclusion, and Chaohe was trapped in Pingan County. The only Foundation establishment cultivators in the Lu clan who could still move about outside were her and Lu tingchou.
However, Lu chaojun still rejected this matter.
Although his strength had not reached the Foundation Stage, he was still a senior, and also the clan’s General Affairs elder. He was in charge of the clan’s Affairs, so his words still carried weight.
“This matter can not be rushed.” Lu chaojun said, ” right now, we are the leaders of anling Prefecture. If we can’t solve the problem, we have to find the vassal families to help. That is the last option. In the future, if the clan has control over anling Prefecture for a long time, this is naturally not impossible. However, the clan has only defeated the Zhao clan for less than two years, and our order has only been established. If we do this, we will overdraw our prestige.”
“Fifth uncle, you’re wrong.” Lu xueting retorted, ” if we allow the enemy to besiege Huang Yishan and keep seventh uncle and Ming Ling safe, will the family’s prestige be preserved? ” What kind of logic is this!”
“This is temporary.” Lu chaojun said, ” your aunt mingchao is currently in seclusion. She will probably be out soon. When she comes out of seclusion, her strength will definitely stabilize at the ninth-stage foundation building realm at the very least. At that time, I’ll let her bring you and tingchou to Pingan County and solve this problem. This way, in the end, our Lu clan will have to solve the problem ourselves. We can prove to the other clans in anling that the Lu clan’s power can ensure the safety of the entire anling Prefecture.”
After hearing this, Lu xueting was still anxious but she could only reply, ” “Alright,” he said.
On the other hand, Lu Qing was floating above Lu mingchao’s head. He could see that she was already in the final stage.
After making a judgment in his heart, Lu Qing sent her a voice transmission, ” there’s no need to complete it. We can try to break through to initial enlightenment tomorrow.
Lu mingchao opened her eyes when she heard her father’s voice. There was a cold glint in her eyes.
“I’ll listen to you, father,” she said with a slight nod.
