Chapter 1696: Chapter 570: Consecutive Battles Against Shangguan Poyun! True Man Xi Yue Arrives with Congratulations!
“This child is the son of Lu True Master and the Lu Family’s Lady, Lu Miaoge. He’s quite favored and likely not to be underestimated.”
“I wonder what extravagant methods he possesses.”
Cultivators in the field gazed at Lu Qingxuan, pondering in their minds.
“Since Lu True Master has spoken, Poyun, you may have a good duel with this young friend.”
Shangguan Patriarch spoke out, but his tone turned colder.
“Yes, Patriarch!”
Shangguan Poyun, as the top talent of the Shangguan Family and a Nascent Soul seed, naturally carried an air of arrogance.
Being defeated by Lu Wangshu and Lu Chensha had already made him incredibly frustrated.
Now, a young fellow who just broke through Foundation Establishment dared to challenge him.
On a regular day, he’d cut down such Foundation Establishment cultivators with a single blade!
After consuming the healing medicine given by the Shangguan Patriarch, he grasped his Thunder Blade tightly, coldly glaring at Lu Qingxuan.
“Xuan’er, this child’s soul is unstable. Later, you can directly use the Six Desires Heart Demon Technique…”
Lu Changsheng transmitted instructions to his son.
This battle, though a bit impetuous and amusing,
was meant to give his son Lu Qingxuan a chance to perform, hoping he would showcase himself well.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingxuan nodded slightly, indicating he understood.
In this battle, he not only aimed to win but to win beautifully!
“Begin.”
Seeing the two were ready, Lu Changsheng announced.
“Whoosh!”
As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Poyun charged at Lu Qingxuan like an unsheathed peerless treasure blade, his edge fully revealed, aggressively heading towards Lu Qingxuan.
Given the previous two battles, he sought a quick and decisive victory in this one.
“Swish! Swish——”
Shangguan Poyun darted before Lu Qingxuan like a thunderbolt, his Thunder Blade suddenly slashing out, raising waves of thunder.
“Ha-ha-ha——”
However, his blade, carried by such a terrifying thunderous momentum, inexplicably slashed into empty space, making his stance slightly unstable.
“Hmm!?”
Shangguan Poyun’s eyes were chilly and puzzled.
Clearly, Lu Qingxuan was in front of him, and his blade did strike the opponent, yet it inexplicably slashed into thin air.
In a flash, he swept his Thunder Blade across, forming a thick arc of lightning, attempting to bisect Lu Qingxuan.
But Lu Qingxuan seemed like a mirage; though right before him, even cutting into his body, it lacked any tangible feel, as if cutting into nothingness.
“What kind of method is this!?”
Shangguan Poyun was shocked inwardly, his expression frosty, instantly unleashing the Nine Strikes of Divine Thunder and Heavenly Thunder Strike. His Thunder Blade danced wildly, forming a rolling sea of thunder, shaking everything in its vicinity.
“This…”
“What kind of method is Lu Qingxuan using!?”
“Could it be Divine Sense illusions?”
“But this child just broke through Foundation Establishment. How could he possibly create Divine Sense illusions for Shangguan Poyun!?”
“Although Shangguan Poyun is a saber cultivator with firm will, he almost fell prey to deviation in the last battle, and his soul is unstable…..”
At this moment, the observing cultivators, seeing Shangguan Poyun maddeningly slashing at empty air, were utterly astonished.
Such a method was too shocking!
It’s known that sword cultivators and saber cultivators, due to condensing Sword Intent or Blade Intent, have more stable souls compared to ordinary cultivators.
Yet currently, Shangguan Poyun was caught in Lu Qingxuan’s Divine Sense illusions, unable to extricate himself.
“Excellent, excellent. Lu True Master has quite the method.”
Shangguan Patriarch, seeing the predicament of his heir, could no longer bear watching.
“Today, having witnessed the divine skills of the Lu Family and met their outstanding talents, I have other matters and won’t stay long.”
As he spoke, he tossed the Heavenly Thunder Meteor Iron to Lu Qingxuan, then used a Great Hand of Magical Power to wrap up Shangguan Poyun, leaving immediately.
Today he came with the intention to regain face, only to end up gifting treasures, making it impossible for anyone to have a good expression.
“Farewell, Daoist Shangguan.”
Lu Changsheng stepped forward to bid farewell.
Though the opponent came to disrupt, at least he could accept defeat.
It’s somewhat like the sword cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect, straightforward and direct.
Thus, Lu Changsheng was willing not to offend them thoroughly, preferring to ease tensions, treating it as an acquaintance made through conflict.
Moreover, his family’s development goals revolve around valuing harmony, building connections, and fostering wealth through amiability.
“Daoist Shangguan graciously came today to offer such a generous gift. Here are some Talismans drawn by me, as a token of return.”
“This bottle of Nourishing Spirit Pills has a soothing effect on the Mental Spirit, which might help this young friend to some extent.”
Lu Changsheng took out three Third Rank Superior Grade Talismans and a bottle of elixirs from his Storage Ring, speaking aloud.
“Hmm!?”
Shangguan Patriarch didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to reciprocate with gifts.
He concentrated his gaze, glancing at the three talismans in Lu Changsheng’s hand.
Although unable to discern the talisman types at a glance, he could tell from their grade that it wasn’t an insult but a sincere gesture.
“Regarding the matter at Purple Shadow Secret Realm, being a rivalry among juniors, it’s not something I wish to elaborate on, but having just broken through Nascent Soul, I am unwilling to hold grudges with your esteemed family.”
“If possible, I hope our families can engage in more exchanges and cooperation, after all, we are far apart and have no conflicts of interest.”
Lu Changsheng said calmly.
It’s wise to resolve enemies rather than create them.
Between his family and the Shangguan Family, there’s really no deep-seated hatred.
Therefore, if possible, Lu Changsheng prefers not to escalate.
Otherwise, a frontier war would ensue, causing both families to openly and covertly struggle, continuously escalating the situation.
Though he fears nothing, he also doesn’t wish for unnecessary troubles.
Of course, if Shangguan Family insists on pursuing, he won’t back down, ready to find an opportunity to eliminate them.
“I have always been willing to accept loss, and my Shangguan Family can afford to lose!”
Shangguan Zhan pondered for a moment, accepted the return gift from Lu Changsheng, and stated boldly.
If he really wanted to fight to the death with the Lu Family, he wouldn’t have come today.
He would have made moves against the Lu Family earlier in private.
Today he came solely to regain face.
Who would have thought he’d lose face and treasures instead.
“Daoist Shangguan is worthy of being a senior, straightforward. Today, Poyun challenged three alone; our Lu Family’s victory was underserved. Should Daoist have the interest, he may visit again for exchanges, fostering growth among family disciples.”
Seeing the return gift accepted by the other side, Lu Changsheng immediately spoke warmly.
Both incidents favored his side.
At this moment, exchanging a few pleasant words won’t cost him much.
Moreover, the Shendao Shangguan Family indeed possesses extraordinary skills.
If both families could hold inter-family disciple exchange meetings every few years, it would benefit the Lu Family.
“Agreed.”
Despite Shangguan Patriarch’s displeasure, Lu Changsheng’s attitude eased his mood slightly.
However, he didn’t converse much with Lu Changsheng, exchanged a few words, then controlled the Divine Rainbow to leave with Shangguan Poyun.
…
Moments later, Lu Changsheng returned to Lake Heart Island.
Seeing Lu Family disciples discussing and inquiring about the methods used by Lu Chensha and Lu Qingxuan just now,
especially Lu Qingxuan, whose final techniques were astonishingly impressive.
“Father!”
“Dad!”
“Greetings to Lu True Master.”
They all cupped their hands to salute Lu Changsheng.
“Regarding today’s matter with the Shangguan Family, don’t embellish and overly promote it.”
Lu Changsheng casually said.
“Understood, Father!”
“Rest assured, True Master, we understand!”
The Lu Family disciples and guests present immediately responded respectfully, guessing Lu Changsheng must have discussed something with Shangguan Patriarch to ease relations between the two families.
Then, the ceremony continued.
While Lu Changsheng was exchanging cups with several guests, suddenly he sensed two Nascent Soul level magic aura approaching.
One of the auras was quite familiar.
In the next moment, two loud voices pronounced: For more chapters visit noᴠelfire.net
“From Qingyun Sect, True Man Bai Yun comes bearing gifts!”
“From Qingyun Sect, True Man Xi Yue comes bearing gifts!”
The cultivators present were astonished upon hearing this, surprised that Qingyun Sect sent two Nascent Soul Immortals.
Although such a Nascent Soul inauguration ceremony was very lively,
families like Beast Taming Xu Family, Five Elements Royal Family, and White Deer Ning Family, all only sent a False Core representative.
