Chapter 782 - 375: The Situation on All Sides; Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House [Revised]
Yonghe Square.
A Tier Three Spiritual Vein located thousands of miles away from the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.
After Blood Demon Undying Bone sent Feng Jue and Han Tianxing to this place, he departed immediately, as there were quite a few main lineage cultivators of the Lu Family here, along with a Fake Pill sitting to guard, making it absolutely safe for the two of them to stay here.
The two initially wanted to inquire about the situation of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range but were then informed to pack up and evacuate.
The Tier Three Spiritual Vein has already been publicly priced, preparing to sell it to other Golden Core influences.
Upon learning this information, Lu Xinghe quickly found Feng Jue, "Brother Feng, things are not looking good."
Feng Jue frowned, "What’s wrong?"
"Just now, an elder from my family sent me a message saying she plans to personally come and take me away from Yonghe Square," replied Lu Xinghe.
Feng Jue could actually sense some clues from the Lu family’s actions, so he continued to ask, "What position does your elder hold? Did you learn anything?"
Lu Xinghe responded, "That elder is the Lu Family’s Fourth Elder, even she said she intends to personally come and fetch me, indicating that the situation is serious. The rumors spread by the loose cultivators might mostly be true."
"Fourth Elder? What is your relationship with the Fourth Elder?"
"Great-grandson."
Feng Jue was a bit surprised, originally thinking Lu Xinghe was just a direct disciple of Lu Chan, "In that case, you should leave first."
"Brother Feng, let’s leave together," Lu Xinghe insisted.
"No, right now... the situation with the Corpse Ancestor is unclear, I must stay here first." If that "Lu Family Corpse Ancestor" did have issues, his plan was to immediately contact Han Li, and coordinate with Han Li.
Wherever Han Li goes.
He goes too.
It’s not just Han Tianxing’s intention, he thinks the same way.
Lu Xinghe still wanted to insist, but Feng Jue rejected him each time, even when the Lu Family’s Fourth Elder, Lu Xinyou, personally arrived after nightfall, Feng Jue remained firm. Seeing Feng Jue’s insistence on waiting, Lu Xinyou had to speak the truth.
"Currently, the Spirit Suppressing General Nangong Huan and Spirit Control Department’s Fate, Gu Qinghe, two late-stage Golden Core cultivators, have both fallen in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, it’s highly likely that the Corpse Ancestor could not escape the same fate. Although you don’t have much interaction with the Lu family, since you are one of the Corpse Ancestor’s people, the Lu family naturally will not ignore you. The Lu family currently plans to establish a new clan in the eastern part of the West Mountain Floating Domain. You and Lu Xinghe should go there first... By the way, Elder Lu Chan is also there," Lu Xinyou knew Fey Jue had a close relationship with the Corpse Ancestor and Lu Chan, so out of concern that Feng Jue still might not want to leave, not only revealed the truth but also added a word about Lu Chan.
Before Feng Jue could react, upon hearing the severity of the situation, Lu Xinghe quickly asked, "Grandmother, what about you?"
"I still need to handle other matters of the Lu family," Lu Xinyou responded, then began to urge, "Talk on the road if necessary, leave this place first. With such significant losses this time to the Domain Lord’s Mansion, it’s uncertain when the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect might attack, only when you juniors leave safely can we handle this without being tied down."
"Grandmother, please be careful," said Lu Xinghe, looking troubled, as he was the first to board Lu Xinyou’s flying ship.
Feng Jue was still hesitating when Han Tianxing quickly sent him a reminder, "Don’t hesitate, leave here first, Han Li is surely safer than you and me now. Let’s wait quietly for news there in the east."
Feng Jue nodded, both in acknowledgment of Han Tianxing’s words and in agreement with Lu Xinyou’s urging to board the ship.
After boarding the flying ship, it departed Yonghe Square in the cover of night, swiftly heading towards Eastern Celestial City.
Feng Jue stood on one side of the ship, gazing far towards the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, feeling somewhat lost in thought, as well as some poignancy.
In the end, he was still too weak.
With a cultivation base at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, forget about assisting Han Li.
When change truly occurs, he can’t do anything, not even protect his own life, requiring others’ protection.
Seeing Feng Jue in a daze, seemingly sad, Lu Xinghe quickly went to comfort, "Brother Feng, don’t worry, you still have us, and the Lu family is your family."
Feng Jue did not speak.
Merely mocked himself inwardly.
How could someone like him deserve a family?
Now he only hopes that the senior is alright and can contact Han Li later, regardless of where Han Li goes in the future.
He will accompany him at all costs.
...
Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House.
Even without messages from the Lu Family, Fang Qian quickly received word of the Lu family’s movements.
Consequently, Fang Qian hurriedly gathered Dongfang Tiancheng, Ye Chen, and others together to discuss the forthcoming plan.
During this period, the Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House thrived significantly due to Lu Family’s strength, with rapid expansion, now hosting several Fake Pill Loose Cultivators, and with Lu Family as a backing, acquiring an aging Tier Three Talisman Master.
The Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House, strictly speaking, now stands at the pinnacle, just below Golden Core influences.
"Things are happening too fast, the Lu family’s movements are already significant, have any of you received news?" Fang Qian looked at the current multiple Late Stage Foundation Establishment, Fake Pill cultivators of the Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House.
"Pavilion Master, I have received some news. Now, among the Golden Core forces, it’s spreading that something happened to the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor, and one of the top ten Spirit Suppressing Generals, Nangong Huan, along with Spirit Control Department’s Fate, Gu Qinghe. They all suddenly fell, three late-stage Golden Core at once, so the Golden Core forces are saying that the West Mountain Floating Domain might soon witness a drastic transformation," the aging Tier Three lower grade Talisman Master spoke solemnly.
Several Fake Pill cultivators also started speaking in succession.
Expressions grew even heavier.
"Elder Li’s information is very likely true, as some news has been coming from branches of the Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House across various places. There are significant movements within the Spirit Suppressing Army, even more among loose cultivators, all retreating eastward."
