SFS Chapter 84 The Demise of the Wang Family
Chapter 84 The Demise of the Wang Family
"Oh no! This is a diversionary tactic!" Wang Lieyang's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock!
Before he could finish speaking...
"Ancestor! Ancestor!"
A shrill, terrified scream rang out.
In the distance, accompanied by a disheveled, blood-soaked streak of light, it shot wildly from the horizon north of Biyue Lake at a speed almost as if burning its own life force.
The visitor was a core member of the Wang family.
He crashed down like a streak of light not far from Wang Lieyang, not even bothering to bow, and screamed with all his might, his voice trembling with extreme fear and grief:
"Ancestor! Something terrible has happened! Our clan's territory...our Wang clan's territory has been attacked and breached! The ancestor who stayed behind...the ancestor Wang Renhuai who stayed behind...he...he was personally killed by Lu Qianxue with three sword strikes!"
"What?"
Wang Lieyang felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He trembled violently, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot and red, staring incredulously at the messenger.
"puff!"
Overwhelmed by rage, he could no longer suppress his surging blood and qi, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, staining the crimson brocade robe on his chest.
It wasn't just an injury, but a heart-wrenching horror and an utterly despairing pain.
Wang Renhuai was his younger brother, one of only two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Wang family, and the pillar of stability guarding the clan's territory. His own lifespan was running out, and if he died, the foundation of the Wang family would be severed.
"It's over, we've fallen into their trap! Lu Qianxue had already secretly broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm and set up this vicious scheme against us!"
The Ye family patriarch was also pale-faced and his voice trembled.
His Ye family is in an even worse situation. He is the only Foundation Establishment ancestor. Now that the entire family has left, the clan is empty. Isn't it just a matter of being slaughtered by others?
"Damn it! So all that show of weakness and all those moves by the Lu family before were just a smokescreen, a ploy to lure us all out!"
The Zhou family patriarch was also deathly pale, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
He dared not hesitate any longer and roared, "Zhou family sons, retreat! Come back to the clan with me immediately!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a streak of earthy yellow light and fled desperately towards his own lair, no longer caring about his allies, the Wang and Ye families.
The Zhou family's foundation is in imminent danger!
"Fellow Daoists of the Lu family... I was misled by treacherous individuals today and have offended you greatly... I hope you will forgive me! I will definitely visit you another day to apologize! I... will take my leave now!"
Blood Hand Li Kun reacted the fastest and acted the most straightforward.
He was already wary of the terrifying potential of a genius with earth-rooted spiritual roots like Lu Qianxue, so he had left some room for maneuver when he made his move, unlike the Wang, Ye, and Zhou families who offended him to the death.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless and the three-family alliance had collapsed instantly, he did not hesitate to cup his hands in a gesture of apology to Lu Zhiping, whose face was flushed and who was overjoyed.
Immediately, the blood-red shadow flashed and, at an even faster speed than it had come, fled away from the Azure Lake without looking back, disappearing into the horizon in a few blinks.
His cautious, cunning, and opportunistic nature was on full display at this moment.
In an instant, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators who were just moments before full of murderous intent and arrogance were reduced to only one: Wang Lieyang, who looked utterly dejected and as if he had lost his parents, and Ye Family Patriarch, whose face was ashen and whose body was cold. They were suspended in mid-air.
Lu Zhiping put away the communication talisman, his wild joy vanishing, replaced by a chilling killing intent.
He slowly raised his hand, and Lu Zhengxuan, Lu Mingyuan, and several core elders of the Lu family who had been waiting on the island below all took to the air, their powerful auras locking onto Wang and Ye.
"Wang Lieyang! Old Ghost Ye! You wolves in sheep's clothing, you've offended the Lu family and slaughtered my sons! Today, leave your lives to be a sacrifice to our flag!"
Lu Zhengxuan's voice was icy cold and resounded throughout the sky.
Wang Lieyang looked at the hateful gazes of the Lu family members on the island below, and sensed a destructive aura emanating from his own direction in the distance, a aura that shattered his soul.
Looking around at the Ye family patriarch, who was left with only one equally desperate person... an unprecedented sense of desolation and fear instantly overwhelmed him.
"Lu Zhengxuan!"
The Wang family patriarch's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He swept his resentment over the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lu family, then looked towards the direction of the clan's territory. Finally, he let out a beast-like roar and led his remaining troops in a disheveled escape.
The Ye family patriarch followed closely behind, looking as frightened as a stray dog.
The Lu family cultivators pursued closely behind, and the situation instantly reversed.
The sky near Bishui Lake has completely changed.
And now, the bloody war instigated by the Wang family is finally bringing them the deadly consequences.
The chaos in the port market was quickly quelled by the counterattack of the Lu family law enforcement team and the spontaneously organized cultivators of Bi Chao Lane, as the high-altitude foundation-building battle took a dramatic turn for the better.
Those cultivators who rushed into Tingchao Lane and other outer areas to plunder retreated in panic like a tide, leaving behind only devastation and chaos.
Yang Changsheng silently watched the black smoke rising from the direction of his own courtyard, a cold glint flashing in the depths of his eyes.
The reckoning for the Lu family has only just begun.
Meanwhile, the proud young woman who orchestrated this astonishing reversal is currently somewhere destroying the three families' strongholds.
Lu Qianxue's name, along with the powerful aura of her successful Foundation Establishment, is destined to stir up new waves in Biyue Lake and even a wider area.
As the smoke of battle dissipated, the Biyue Lake was left in ruins, with the pavilions on the core island crumbling and embers still burning in the secluded training area.
Yang Changsheng silently returned to Su Wanqing's courtyard.
His fingertips brushed against the storage pouch at his waist, the cold touch suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
The courtyard in Tingchao Lane may have been reduced to ruins, but the core assets remained intact. Those who preserved their foundations amidst the chaos are the winners.
"The Lu family has risked its century-old reputation and half of its members for this moment. They are truly ruthless." Su Wanqing floated down beside her, her snow-white clothes dusty.
The ground battlefield was extremely bloody, and it was unknown how many cultivators had perished. In addition, there were previous reports that more than a hundred fishermen and farmers had been slaughtered.
"But they won."
Yang Changsheng looked towards the island, where Lu family cultivators who remained were beginning to treat the wounded and restore order.
Having defeated three Foundation Establishment families in one fell swoop, it's hard to imagine how far the Lu family will expand.
"It was a Pyrrhic victory. The Wang family lost a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the foundations of the Ye and Zhou families were shaken. Unless several Foundation Establishment cultivators perish, the deaths and injuries of the Lu family's lower-level disciples will affect their development..."
Su Wanqing sighed softly, feeling a surge of emotions as she witnessed such a brutal war among cultivators for the first time.
"With the stabilizing force still in place, low-level cultivators can recover in a dozen years at most."
Yang Changsheng said in a deep voice, having a clear understanding of the situation.
As long as resources are sufficient and childbirth is strongly encouraged, the number of cultivators in the Qi Refining stage will not be a problem at all.
……
Several days later.
News spread that the Chixiao royal family had been destroyed, and that their Foundation Establishment ancestor, Wang Lieyang, had escaped with serious injuries. Their entire 1,300-mile territory had been occupied.
The Qingfengye family and the Heiyanzhou family even contributed half of their treasure trove resources, and under the witness of the Danxia Sect, a powerful Golden Core sect, they relinquished 20% of their profits from their industries, signing a spiritual contract in exchange for peace.
This result is terrifying. As long as they can absorb the assets and territory of the Chixiao Royal Family, the Lu Family will reach another peak within a few decades.
As for sweeping away the other two Foundation Establishment families, although they have the strength to do so, it is not allowed at present.
