129 The death of Zhao Zidan

Zhao Zidan really only hesitated for a moment.

Even though he knew that he was definitely going to die and had heard Lu Qing’s declaration of ‘I want it all’, he still destroyed his golden core Kasaya.

Cultivating a golden core was something that thousands of immortal cultivators yearned for but could not obtain. There were countless cultivators in the Feiyun state, but there were only three golden core cultivators. After becoming a golden core cultivator, he dominated the entire Feiyun state. No one dared to disobey him. Even if he had already made up his mind, how could he not hesitate when the time came?

However, that moment of hesitation had cost him his chance.

The continuous attacks of the ‘nine Ember godly sword formation’ left him with only two choices.

If he didn’t hold on to the green curtain, he would be destroyed along with the five-colored lotus flower later. He could withdraw his spiritual power and try to destroy his golden core, but before he succeeded, he would definitely die in the sword formation!

Zhao Zidan should not have been in such a miserable state. However, the power that he could control now was only this much.

As the nine huge swords with monstrous demonic flames slashed down again and again, the true essence in his body leaked out like a flood. What leaked out at the same time was his already very weak life force.

In the end, the green curtain could no longer hold on. The huge divine sword completely split open the green curtain, and the following divine swords of fire surged down. Under the might of the divine flame sword, Zhao Zidan’s aged body was just like an unremarkable ant. It was covered by the raging flames that blotted the skies, and then there was no more sound.

Zhao Zidan, who had been famous in the Feiyun state for hundreds of years, had died just like that. There was not even a corpse left, only a golden core that was still glowing in the flames.

Lu Qing extended his hand. The Golden core that Zhao Zidan had left behind slowly entered his hand.

He played with the object for a moment and suddenly chuckled.

This golden core was not suitable to be placed in the Lu family.

This wasn’t as simple as a treasure.

After all, golden cores came from golden core cultivators.

What kind of status was a golden core cultivator? No matter what, he, Zhao Zidan, was still the Grand Elder of the Qingfeng sect, and one of the three representatives of the Qingfeng sect.

Zhao Zidan had taken the initiative to attack Yuyan mountain. As the owner of Yuyan mountain, there was nothing wrong with Lu Qing killing Zhao Zidan. However, he had to be very particular about how to deal with the Golden core. If the Lu clan were to keep even the Golden core in their hands, the reputation of the Lu clan in the Qingfeng sect would probably fall to an unacceptable level.

If he had really been completely resurrected, then there would be no problem. If he had taken Zhao Zidan’s golden core, then so be it. At least in the Feiyun state, no one would dare to stretch out their hands, not even a peeking gaze.

But it wasn’t.

He didn’t know when would be the next time he would have a revival option. He couldn’t really come to the rescue with his real body every time the clan was in trouble.

Under such circumstances, it wasn’t a good idea to become enemies with the Qingfeng sect.

Of course, even if this golden core was to be returned to the Qingfeng sect, it would not be enough to just return it directly. He had to pay attention to the technique and the method. No matter what, he had to maximize the effect of this golden core.

He looked to the East. The two people there were good targets.

However, he still had some things to do for the time being.

He looked down and saw that there were still more than a hundred cultivators from the Zhao clan alive, including several foundation building cultivators.

Lu Qing had no intention of letting these people off.

If they allowed Lu chaoxi to lead his men to fight with them, there would inevitably be casualties. It was better to do it himself.

After obtaining his permission, the fire Dragon Soul roared excitedly towards the sky and quickly pounced down. A ball of strong Dragon Fire instantly covered a foundation building cultivator.

Death.

The rest of the cultivators of the Zhao clan finally reacted.

It was not that they did not see the huge fire sword that drowned their own patriarch, nor did they not see the brilliant golden core.

However, the invincible image of their patriarch had long been deeply engraved in their hearts. In fact, most of them were already golden core cultivators when they were born. With this glory and the Zhao clan behind them, they grew up.

They were proud, even prouder than the cultivators of their sects. There were only three hundred cultivators in the Zhao clan, including those in the sect. Among them, there was a golden core, two initial enlightenment, and fourteen Foundation establishment. This ratio was the best in anling Prefecture.

Their own golden core elders were the glory of their lives.

But today, Tao Wu’s glory died in front of their eyes. Like a humble floating fish, he was drowned in the fire, not even his bones were left, and even his Jindan was in the bag of others.

How could anyone accept such a fact, even if they had seen it with their own eyes?

But so what if he couldn’t accept it? When Lu Qing rode the huge Dragon and turned around to start killing people, they had to accept it no matter how hard they found it hard to accept.

A foundation building cultivator was burned to death, and the remaining six people began to flee in different directions. The Qi refining cultivators below also lost their will to fight and followed suit.

Lu Qing put his palms together and used the ‘extinguish fire’ technique. In that instant, he locked onto the six foundation building cultivators who were not far away.

A dark red flame that could destroy everything instantly ignited on the bodies of the six Foundation establishment cultivators from the Zhao clan. In the span of a few breaths, they were all dead in the sky in front of Yuyan mountain.

Yes, Lu Qing was very careful to control himself and did not burn the storage bag.

He was even a little regretful now-he had rushed in too fiercely just now and should have asked the Dragon Soul to restrain him a little. He should not have destroyed the flying boat. The flying boat looked like it was a third-grade flying boat and should be able to accommodate 300 people at most. If he were to find a weapon refiner and an array master to build one together, it would cost him nearly 20000 spirit stones.

A huge loss.

However, Zhao Zidan’s storage bag was in his hands.

As he thought about it, he provided the Dragon Soul with true essence. The fire dragon’s soul displayed its violent and bloodthirsty nature after it was released from its restraints. It rolled around in the sky and spewed fire from its mouth, turning the grass and forest in front of Yuyan mountain into a sea of fire.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger, Lu chaoxi had already called for the clan’s cultivators to stop. They did not continue to rush down the mountain. They even started to walk back.

They stood on the mountainside, watching the dark red fire Dragon wreaking havoc in the air. In the distance, the screams from the sea of fire did not sound real. However, when they saw the little people that appeared occasionally in the sea of fire, the cultivators of the Lu family could not hide the joy in their hearts!

The one who was killed was the enemy, and the murderer was the family’s ancestor who had come out of seclusion. This was simply too satisfying!

Lu Chaohe even took out a bottle of wine from his storage bag. He laughed as he downed the wine.

……

Lu Qing stopped after a while.

With the abilities of golden core cultivators, so what if there were a hundred of them chasing after a group of Qi refining cultivators? No one could threaten him. He killed these Qi refining cultivators as easily as killing ants.

More than a hundred Qi refining cultivators scattered and fled in all directions, thinking that they could escape by splitting up. That was simply too naive. Under the Dragon Fire, the forest, the stream, the grass, everything was burned clean.

Running, how could it be faster than the speed of the fire spreading?

Hide? where could he hide? Everything in the world was burned to ashes, even spiritual energy.

Under such intense flames, even if some earth-element cultivators had mastered the earth-escaping technique, they would not be able to compete with the Dragon Fire for control of the spiritual energy. No spiritual Qi would listen to their command and help them drill into the ground. On the contrary, the spiritual Qi was even more of an aid to evil, and it happily turned into a raging fire.

Of course, it could not be ruled out that in such a large-scale burning, there were individuals with outstanding abilities who were lucky enough to escape with their lives without special care.

But that didn’t matter.

The Zhao family of peace, known as the number one noble family in anling, was removed from the picture.

Not all of the Zhao clan’s people had died.

They had taken root in the anling Prefecture and became a cultivation clan for more than seven hundred years. It was said that they had migrated here from the South. It wasn’t easy to trace the history that was a little longer.

However, just these seven hundred years were enough for them to develop into a great clan.

Currently, the members of the Zhao clan were scattered all over the anling Prefecture, and their population was uncountable. The Zhao clan’s population was close to 150000 in the gathering place of the sects in Pingan County alone. A quarter of the mortals in peace County had the surname Zhao.

Of course, it was impossible for these people to kill all of them. That would be equivalent to massacring the entire Pingan County. Regardless of whether it was the Qingfeng sect or the many cultivation clans in the Feiyun state, they usually boasted that they were the Orthodox xuanmen. They would definitely not do such a thing.

Lu mingchao’s reputation in the Feiyun state was already very bad when she killed more than 100 mortal servants of the Zhao clan some time ago. If she killed 150000 mortals, she would be in trouble.

Then, Lu Qing would undoubtedly become a devil. The Lu clan would also become an evil force. The Qingfeng sect might even take action directly.

Moreover, these mortals were insignificant.

For a cultivation family, the most important thing was naturally the family’s cultivators.

The Zhao clan had 300 cultivators. Half of them were in the main clan, while the other half were in the sect. After Zhao Zidan became an initial enlightenment cultivator, they had considered merging with the Qingfeng sect as a major strategy since a few hundred years ago.

Now, the most elite forces had all been sacrificed at the foot of Yuyan mountain.

Right now, there might still be dozens of cultivators left in the Zhao family’s main house in ping ‘an, but they could almost be considered old, weak, sick, and disabled, all of them in the Qi refining stage. It wasn’t that they couldn’t defend the mountain Gate. After all, they still had the help of the Zhao family in the sect. However, many of their industries and their influence on anling Prefecture would shrink greatly. Even the industries in Pingan County would be preserved.

Within the sect, the power of the Zhao clan cultivators had also suffered a devastating blow.

For the sake of this expedition against the Lu clan, four of the foundation building cultivators in the Zhao clan left the sect-this was not easy at first, but under Zhao Zidan’s manipulation, it became very simple-they returned to the clan, and then all of them died.

There were only about three or four foundation building cultivators left in the Zhao clan. However, Zhao Zhengdong, who was in the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage, was not present today.

Since he was not dead, the Zhao clan was not completely destroyed.

This was a little regretful, but Lu Qing could not possibly charge into the Qingfeng sect and kill them.

After killing all the members of the Zhao clan, Lu Qing did some calculations and realized that he did not have much time.

The main thing was that the battle with Zhao Zidan was much faster than expected.

Then, there were still more than four hours left. What else could he do?

Ever since he had killed Zhao Zidan and massacred all the cultivators of the Zhao clan present, all sorts of system notifications had begun to ring in his mind. However, he merely glanced at them and ignored them all.

There was quite a lot of information, and the rewards would definitely be good.

However, when his resurrection time was over, he would have plenty of time to look at these system notifications. There was no need to spend time on it now.

He thought for a moment and rode the fire Dragon toward the east.

A moment later, two figures appeared in front of him.

Li Yanling and Qiu wanyong.

“Greetings, old ancestor Lu.”

They knew that they could not hide from Lu Qing when he came toward them.

The two of them did not dare to be disrespectful in front of Lu Qing. Even though he had just killed their Qingfeng sect’s Grand Elder.

In the past, Lu Qing would not have cared much about such a junior. However, he had to leave a good impression on the family.

He nodded slightly at Qiu wanyong as a greeting, then turned to look at Li Yanling.

“Little Yan Ling, long time no see.”

“It has been many years.” Li Yanling, who had a graceful and cold expression, was a little nervous in front of Lu Qing.

“Did brother hai ask you to come and take a look?”

“Yingluo is.” He did not dare to lie.

“Brother hai should have gotten the answer he wanted by now, right?”

“I don’t dare to guess my master’s thoughts.”

haha, ” Lu Qing chuckled and said, ” it’s not a big deal for me to guess.

After saying this, he took out Zhao Zidan’s golden core that he had just kept and said, ” “Little Yan Ling, do you want this pill?”

This thing was extremely useful to her. Ten years ago, she had tried to break through to the Golden core stage with some precious supplementary medicine, but she had failed. With the help of medicinal pills and natural treasures, she was fine, but her Foundation was somewhat injured. She had to recuperate in seclusion for ten years and use many precious medicines to recover.

And if she could get this golden core, she could spend a few years to refine it into an external elixir and comprehend it day and night. Then in another ten years, or at most twenty years, she was confident that she could gradually extract it and finally form her own golden core.

Zhao Zidan was already dead. When the time came, she would become the third golden core cultivator of the Qingfeng sect and receive the title of Grand Supreme elder. She would be able to mobilize a large amount of the sect’s manpower and resources.

How attractive was this?

however, even when faced with such a huge temptation, Li Yanling was still able to control her emotions.

She said carefully, ” old ancestor Zhao attacked Yuyan mountain without the sect’s approval. He died in the hands of senior Lu. He brought this on himself. The sect will not pursue it. However, old ancestor Zhao is the Grand Supreme elder of our Qingfeng sect. This golden core and Zhao’s storage bag belong to the sect. Please return them to me, old ancestor Lu.”

These were the words that ancestor hai had told her before she left. Ancestor hai also said a few other words to use for different endings. He had thought that this was the least useful sentence, but it turned out to be the one he used.

Li Yanling was pessimistic about whether she could get the Golden core back.

Not only was Lu Qing not dead, but he was also at his peak. Compared to the past, he was still as elegant as before.

She recalled Lu Qing’s high-spirited and arrogant temperament in the past. She was afraid that he would not have been able to get his hands on this golden core so easily.

The sect would not find trouble with Lu Qing to avenge Zhao Zidan. On one hand, Zhao Zidan had come to seek his own death. On the other hand, there was no point in going against Lu Qing, who was in his Prime and had a bright future, for an old man who did not have long to live.

However, if it was for a golden core, he was not sure.

But after all, it was his master’s instructions, so he had to say it.

In the end, Lu Qing’s response surprised her.

“It’s not impossible,” After Lu Qing said this with a smile, he changed the topic and brought up another matter. my son chaoxi has been widowed for many years, Zhenzhen.
