Chapter 115 Revenge and Destruction of the Zhao Clan (Please Subscribe!)
After Lu Cheng'an and his companion arrived near Tianhong Mountain, where the Tianhong Zhao Clan was located, they did not immediately attack the Tianhong Zhao Clan. Instead, they first went to find the Lu family cultivators who had come to inquire about the situation of the Tianhong Zhao Clan.

Lu Wenxing sent a total of four people, with Lu Wenjing, the fourth elder of the Lu family, leading the team.

Lu Wenhua has now successfully broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining!
"Greetings, Clan Chief and Supreme Elder!"

Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an and the other person, Lu Wenjing immediately bowed respectfully.

Lu Wenxing and Lu Chengan are the only two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Lu family, so their status in the family is naturally different.

Lu Wenxing has always been the patriarch of the Lu family, and this status has not changed even after his cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

However, after Lu Cheng'an broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he directly became the Supreme Elder of the Lu family, whose status was much higher than that of the elders in the late Qi Refining stage of the Lu family. This is why Lu Wenjing was so respectful when he met Lu Cheng'an.

"Fourth Elder, tell me more about the Zhao family's situation!" Lu Wenxing said in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the clan leader, after we arrived near Tianhong Mountain, the Zhao family has kept its gates tightly closed, and the clan's cultivators..."

After learning that Zhao Wuying had died at the Lu family's hands, Zhao Wusheng reacted quickly. He immediately summoned all Zhao family cultivators who were away back to the clan and closed the mountain gates, fearing retaliation from the Lu family.

Nearly four months have passed since Zhao Wuying's death. Because the Lu family has not taken any action, a small number of Zhao family cultivators have begun to move around outside.

During this period, those Foundation Establishment cultivators who had previously attacked the Zhao family have not made any moves, perhaps because his injuries are too severe.

Lu Wenjing and the others were only at the Qi Refining stage, so their inquiries were not too blatant, and therefore the information they obtained was not very detailed.

Even so, the information they had gathered was enough for the Lu family.

"What is the current situation of our Lu family's Jinyuan Mountain? Who is occupying it now?" Lu Wenxing continued to ask.

Jinyuan Mountain was the location of the Lu family's mountain gate before the incident, and a second-order spiritual vein existed on it.

After the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lu family were killed by Zhao Wusheng and his companion, Lu Wenxing hurriedly led the Lu family cultivators to escape.

Lu Wenxing and other Lu family cultivators could only take away some of their wealth; fixed assets such as spiritual veins eventually fell into the hands of the Zhao family.

"After the Zhao family acquired Jinyuan Mountain from our Lu family, they did not take the second-tier spiritual vein of Jinyuan Mountain for their own use. Instead, they sold it to a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Qiao Liusheng. Now, Qiao Liusheng has established a family in Jinyuan Mountain and has gathered many cultivators," Lu Wenjing replied.

This is a common practice in the cultivation world. After all, cultivation forces like the Lu and Zhao families have limited power, and even if they obtain new second-tier spiritual veins, they simply do not have the strength to guard them.

Therefore, they often sell such spiritual veins directly, earning a considerable amount of spirit stones in one go.

After wiping out the Chen clan of Qingling, the Lu family also planned to sell the second-tier spiritual vein in Qingling Mountain to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, such Foundation Establishment cultivators are not easy to find, because they are not very wealthy and it is difficult for them to come up with so many spirit stones at once.

Not long has passed since the extermination of the Qingling Chen clan, and the Lu family still has various affairs to handle, so they have not yet found a suitable buyer for the second-tier spiritual vein of Qingling Mountain.

"Qiao Liusheng!"

Lu Wenxing pondered Qiao Liusheng's name for a moment, a murderous intent rising in his heart, but he suppressed it in an instant.

Although Jinyuan Mountain was the ancestral home of the Lu family, Qiao Liusheng had purchased it from the Zhao family of Tianhong, and he had no enmity with the Lu family.

"What is the current situation of the mortals left behind by the family near Jinyuan Mountain?" Lu Wenxing asked in a deep voice.

Previously, the Lu family also had nearly 100,000 mortals, but the mortal clansmen he hastily took away back then were less than half of them.

Adding those who perished during the escape, the number of ordinary people who actually managed to migrate to Chiyan Mountain was less than 20,000.

Now that the family has enough strength, once the Tianhong Zhao clan is wiped out, the remaining mortal clan members will all be relocated to the area around Chiyan Mountain.

“Qiao Liusheng’s acquisition of Jinyuan Mountain was very timely. He acquired it almost as soon as the Zhao family released the news. Apart from a few members of our Lu family’s mortal clan who were taken away by the Zhao family, the rest were left to Qiao Liusheng. This group of clansmen numbered nearly 50,000,” Lu Wenjing replied with a smile.

This was the result Lu Wenjing obtained after personally inquiring with the mortal clansmen near Jinyuan Mountain.

Lu Wenxing nodded slightly, then said, "Fifth Elder, you now take Chengfeng and the other two and bring out all the mortal members of the Zhao clan. Cheng'an and I will attack the Zhao clan now!"

A cold glint appeared on Lu Wenxing's face. After making the arrangements, he immediately led Lu Chengan to Tianhong Mountain, where the Zhao family was located.

They were originally only a few dozen miles away from Tianhong Mountain, and it took them less than two quarters of an hour to reach the foot of Tianhong Mountain.

Lu Wenxing appeared above Tianhong Mountain on a flying sword, and then he summoned a cyan treasure seal and smashed it down towards Tianhong Mountain.

This cyan treasure seal is a second-tier, low-grade wood-attribute attack magic weapon, which the Lu family obtained from the Qingling Chen clan.

A faint blue light appeared around the blue seal, and the entire seal resembled a huge blue mountain, crashing heavily towards Tianhong Mountain.

Lu Wenxing did not conceal his aura. As soon as he made his move, he was immediately detected by Zhao Wusheng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Zhao family!

"Lu Wenxing!"

A purple figure flew out from Tianhong Mountain, accompanied by a layer of five-colored light curtain.

The moment the five-colored light curtain appeared, it encompassed Tianhong Mountain.

This is the Five-Colored Heavenly Splendor Array, a mid-grade second-tier spiritual array set up by the Zhao family on Tianhong Mountain. It not only contains formidable defensive power, but can also unleash attack power comparable to that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Unfortunately, this spirit array suffered great damage not long ago. The Foundation Establishment cultivator who broke into Tianhong Mountain not only killed many Qi Refining cultivators from the Zhao family, but also almost destroyed the Five-Colored Heavenly Splendor Array, a second-tier mid-grade spirit array.

During this period, although the Zhao family tried their best to repair the power of the Five-Colored Heavenly Flower Array, they were unable to fully restore its power.

Currently, the power of the Five-Colored Heavenly Splendor Array, a mid-grade second-tier spirit array, is only slightly stronger than that of a low-grade second-tier spirit array.

"How dare you! Do you really think you can easily annihilate our Zhao family with just two cultivators from your Lu family who have only just entered the Foundation Establishment stage?!"

Zhao Wusheng stared at Lu Wenxing with a sinister gaze. He formed a hand seal, and a golden magic sword pierced through the five-colored light barrier, directly meeting the attack of the azure treasure seal. Boom!
With a loud roar, the cyan treasure seal was knocked away by the golden magic sword after a brief standoff with it.

Zhao Wusheng took much longer to advance to the Foundation Establishment realm than Lu Wenxing. Although his current cultivation level is still at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, his strength is far superior to that of Lu Wenxing, a cultivator who has just entered the Foundation Establishment realm.

Knowing that his strength was inferior to Zhao Wusheng's, Lu Wenxing showed no panic after falling behind in their fight and continued to attack Zhao Wusheng.

Before Zhao Wusheng and Lu Wenxing made their move, Lu Chengan appeared less than ten feet away from the Five-Colored Heavenly Flower Formation.

After taking the Formation-Breaking Cone out of his storage bag, he pushed this special second-tier low-grade magic weapon to its limit and then fiercely hurled it at the Five-Colored Heavenly Flower Formation.

The Formation-Breaking Cone is a magical artifact specifically designed to attack spirit arrays. Zhao Wuying once used this artifact to instantly destroy most of the Lu family's protective mountain array, the Fire Bamboo Earth Element Array.

Although the Five-Colored Heavenly Splendor Array is of the second-tier mid-grade, the array has not yet been fully repaired.

After the power of the Array-Breaking Cone was unleashed, it rapidly destroyed the array patterns inside the Five-Colored Heavenly Splendor Array. The extent of the damage to this second-tier mid-grade spirit array even surpassed that of the Fire Bamboo Earth Array.

"court death!"

Zhao Wusheng let out a cold shout. In the gap between his fight with Lu Wenxing, he instantly took out a mid-grade second-tier attack talisman from his storage bag.

Once activated, the talisman released a golden ray of light that shot rapidly toward Lu Cheng'an's body.

Zhao Wusheng knew that it was Lu Cheng'an who was activating the Breaking Formation Cone, a person disliked by the Zhang family of Secret Pills, but this was enough to show Lu Cheng'an's strength.

Therefore, Zhao Wusheng activated a mid-grade second-tier attack talisman to attack Lu Cheng'an. As long as Lu Cheng'an was killed, the Lu family would no longer pose any threat to them.

After sensing the terrifying power contained in the golden light, Lu Cheng'an's expression remained unchanged. He summoned the talisman he was holding, and an earth-yellow light screen instantly enveloped his body.

Lu Cheng'an activated a mid-grade second-tier defensive talisman. Defensive talismans of the same grade are more expensive than offensive talismans.

Lu Wenxing did not underestimate the power of the Zhao family. After deciding to take action against the Zhao family, he made thorough preparations.

He went to Tianyan City again, specifically to purchase mid-grade second-tier defensive talismans, and also bought several relatively rare low-grade second-tier healing pills from the Dan Ding Sect.

This cost a great deal of resources, but after the Lu family wiped out the Qingling Chen clan, they made a fortune and were still able to afford the resources to purchase these items.

"A mid-grade, second-tier defensive talisman!"

When Zhao Wusheng saw the earthen-yellow light screen surrounding Lu Cheng'an, his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

Second-tier mid-grade talismans are very expensive. The Zhao family only has two second-tier mid-grade talismans in their collection: one attack talisman and one defense talisman.

The second-tier mid-grade attack talisman has not been able to kill Lu Cheng'an directly, so it will be very difficult for him to kill Lu Cheng'an again.

After Lu Cheng'an blocked Zhao Wusheng's attack with a second-tier mid-grade defensive talisman, he still did not attack Zhao Wusheng. Instead, he used the Cave Fire Finger technique to continue attacking the Five-Colored Heavenly Flower Array, which was about to break.

Once this second-tier mid-grade spirit array completely collapses, the Zhao family cultivators hiding in Tianhong Mountain will have no protection whatsoever, and they will be able to easily kill the Lu family cultivators at the Qi Refining stage.

Lu Cheng'an hadn't been practicing the Cave Fire Finger for very long, but relying on the power of the panel and his own exceptional comprehension, he had mastered this second-tier technique to perfection in a short period of time.

A fiery red fingerprint shot out from Lu Cheng'an's fingertip. In terms of appearance alone, the Cave Fire Finger and the Fiery Void Finger are very similar.

However, the power of these two spells is not on the same level!
The Cave Fire Finger contained extremely powerful flames. When this finger imprint touched the Five-Colored Heavenly Flower Array, which was about to collapse, the flames contained within it instantly erupted.

A surge of flames erupted from the fingerprints, accompanied by an extremely violent power.

The Five-Colored Heavenly Splendor Array was already on the verge of collapse. After being bombarded by the power of the Cave Fire Finger, the array patterns inside this severely damaged second-tier mid-grade spirit array shattered once again.

A moment later, accompanied by a violent roar, the mid-grade second-tier spirit array completely collapsed.

Lu Cheng'an did not stop; he once again unleashed his Cave Fire technique to attack Tianhong Mountain.

"There's also a second-tier, low-grade defensive spirit array!"

After Lu Cheng'an made his move, he saw a layer of dark cyan light surging out from Tianhong Mountain. The area covered by this layer of dark cyan light was greatly reduced, but its defensive power was extremely strong.

After the power contained within the Cave Fire Finger was fully unleashed, it only caused the layer of dark cyan light to tremble slightly, without causing significant damage to the defensive spirit array.

However, under this defensive spirit array, the Zhao family cultivators who were in charge of its operation were trembling violently. They suffered a severe backlash after Lu Cheng'an's attack.

"Is this the Lu Cheng'an whom the Zhang family of Secret Pills fears? How did such a genius emerge from the Lu family?!"

Zhao Wusheng's face was gloomy, filled with resentment.

If it weren't for Lu Cheng'an, this unexpected variable in the Lu family, how could the Zhao family have ended up in this situation today!
Zhao Wusheng did not allow Lu Chengan to continue attacking the second-tier low-grade defensive spirit array on Tianhong Mountain. In the gap between defending against Lu Wenxing's attack, he activated a second-tier low-grade attack talisman and struck Lu Chengan.

The power released by the second-tier low-grade attack talisman is equivalent to that of a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. This level of power will not pose a threat to Lu Cheng'an.

After sensing the power of the second-tier low-grade talisman flying towards him, Lu Cheng'an simply tapped it with his fingertip, and the Cave Fire Finger Imprint condensed, easily destroying the power of the second-tier low-grade talisman.

The perfected state of magic not only greatly enhances the power of magic, but also greatly shortens the speed at which cultivators can cast magic, and also greatly reduces the consumption of the cultivator's mana.

After easily blocking the second-tier attack talisman launched by Zhao Wusheng, Lu Cheng'an continued his attack on the second-tier low-grade defensive spirit array of Tianhong Mountain.

As the three fiery finger imprints were unleashed, even the originally quite strong second-tier low-grade defensive spirit array began to falter.

Fine cracks appeared on the dark blue light screen, and the Zhao family Qi Refining cultivator who was in charge of the operation of the defensive spirit array was in very bad condition.

Their faces were as pale as paper, and blood was gushing from the corners of their mouths, as if they were about to die.
