Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

"boom!"

A dull explosion sounded from Lu Tianhong, and a powerful force spread wildly in all directions with him as the center.

However, countless evil spirits tightly surrounded Lu Tianhong, forming a solid barrier that absorbed all the power of the explosion.

After the explosion, Lu Tianhong's body had completely dissipated, leaving only a piece of torn clothes and a faint breath of Nascent Soul floating in the air.

Although those evil spirits also suffered some casualties, they were not seriously injured because they were able to recover through Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual consciousness. They still guarded Zhou Yiqiao with extreme ferocity.

Seeing this, the Lu family members all gasped.

It is truly shocking that this mysterious young man, holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, could actually withstand the desperate attack of the ancestor.

"Ancestor!"

Everyone in the Lu family cried out in grief.

They did not know that Lu Tianhong and Lu Zhenhai had colluded with the Great Elder. They only knew that Lu Tianhong, the most powerful man in the Lu family, was still a weakling and vulnerable under Zhou Yiqiao's command.

Boundless fear enveloped their hearts and their spirits were almost collapsed. Some cowardly ones even turned around and ran outside, ready to escape from the Lu family while there was still hope.

"Master Zhenzun, it's up to you from now on. Don't let any member of the Lu family go."

As soon as Zhou Yiqiao finished speaking, the spirit in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner - the soul beast - let out a deafening roar. Countless evil souls became more violent in the roar. They flew out of the banner one after another, turning into black air and sweeping across the entire Lu family.

"what!"

Amid the shrill screams, many people from the Lu family were slaughtered before they could even react, and the streets were stained with blood.

After an incense stick of time, the desolate Lu family finally calmed down.

In the Lu family's territory, apart from hundreds of corpses and the mess everywhere, no one was left alive.

Zhou Yiqiao thanked the soul beast and sent it back to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Then he squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Xuan who was still lying beside him, and spoke with a smile.

"Well, the Lu family has been destroyed, and you should have confirmed my identity. There is no need to pretend anymore."

When Lin Xuan heard Zhou Yiqiao's words, he immediately opened his eyes. He looked at Zhou Yiqiao deeply and grinned flatteringly.

"Senior, you are so powerful. I am so weak. Compared to you, I am like a firefly competing with the bright moon. I am ashamed of myself."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly, not taking Lin Xuan's compliment seriously, and said lightly.

"Since you already know my identity, you must also know that my current identity does not allow me to take you to the nearest Sword Questioning Mansion."

"After all, the Lu family is a Nascent Soul family with a history of thousands of years. The treasures there should be quite attractive to you. Go and search for a few protective treasures."

Lin Xuan was delighted when he heard this, and he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, senior!"

After saying that, he flashed and rushed towards the depths of the Lu family.

Soon, Lin Xuan returned to Zhou Yiqiao with a few jade slips, several bottles of pills and a long sword that exuded a faint chill.

"Is there anything else you need?"

Zhou Yiqiao glanced at the spoils in Lin Xuan's hand and asked casually.

After Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment, he whispered.

"Senior, I have enough wealth on me."

Zhou Yiqiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Xuan with a little surprise.

"You are quite self-aware."

Lin Xuan chuckled and scratched his head.

"Senior, I am just a young monk after all, and my storage bag can't hold much stuff. These are enough."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded without saying anything else. He stretched out his hand, packed all the remaining spiritual objects in the base into the storage bag, and disappeared with Lin Xuan.

Half an hour had passed since the two of them left before three Nascent Soul cultivators with white hair and grey beards sneaked into the Lu family’s residence.

The three of them were the ancestors of three nearby Nascent Soul families. They had just hurried over after feeling the Nascent Soul fluctuations erupting in their clan territory.

The three of them waited until Zhou Yiqiao's breath disappeared in the Lu family's residence before they dared to enter together.

At this time, the courtyard where Lu Tianhong lived had been destroyed, with corpses and broken arms and legs scattered all over the ground. The scene was horrifying.

The old man in the lead glanced at the devastated Lu family residence with a frown on his face.

"Which powerful person did the Lu family offend? Why did they end up like this?"

The other two frowned and said nothing when they heard this.

After a moment, the old man in the lead suddenly raised his head, stared in a certain direction, and said in a deep voice.

"Didn't you feel it? Just now, there seemed to be a Nascent Soul-level spell collision here..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

The next second, his pupils suddenly shrank.

In his sight, Lu Tianhong's most precious protective magic weapon - a jade pendant that was shining with a faint purple light, was lying quietly in the ruins. It was covered with cracks and was obviously unable to bear the weight.

"This is... Lu Tianhong's protective jade pendant!"

The old man's voice trembled and his face was full of shock.

This jade pendant is a treasure that Lu Tianhong obtained by chance during an expedition. It is said that it can withstand a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage without breaking. It is one of Lu Tianhong's trump cards.

However, at this moment, the jade pendant had been completely shattered, and it was obvious that Lu Tianhong was in great danger.

"What kind of enemy did the Lu family provoke?"

The other two also discovered the jade pendant. Their faces became solemn, with indescribable emotions churning in their hearts.

"It seems that the Lu family is really finished."

The old man in the lead sighed and shook his head.

"Let's go. The Lu family's affairs are beyond our scope of intervention."

The old man stood up and was about to leave, but one of the younger Nascent Soul cultivators was indeed a little hesitant.

"The three of us have been coveting the benefits that the Lu family gets in Yunxi City every year for a long time. Don't you two want to take a bite of this piece of fat meat?"

"Humph, if you want to eat this piece of fat meat, you have to be alive to eat it."

The old man in the lead glanced at him coldly, with a hint of warning in his voice.

"The Lu family must have offended a powerful figure to end up like this. If we intervene rashly, we will probably end up like him."

Another Nascent Soul cultivator echoed this, his voice revealing caution and calmness.

“Even if we really want to take over Yunxi City’s share, we have to wait and see for a while. We can make plans after we are sure that the Lu family is completely destroyed and the people behind it are no longer pursuing us.”

Upon hearing this, the young Nascent Soul cultivator's expression suddenly changed. He didn't dare to say anything more and quickly followed the two of them away.

After the three men left, the Lu family residence returned to silence again.

At this time, Zhou Yiqiao and Lin Xuan had already returned to a corner of Yunxi City.
