Chapter 178: Chapter 119: The Flowers Sect Mobilizes! A Great Battle Approaches!

“Gui Mie, you know what to say when you return,” the elder’s eyes were deep as he spoke to Lu Qingshan at his side.

Lu Qingshan’s mouth curled into a faint smile, “The three of us fought to the death against a powerful enemy and did not retreat. Bloodhand was unfortunately struck by the enemy’s secret technique and perished on the spot, but the enemy was also wounded by us and fled…”

“Good, this time the attack on the Chen Family, although Bloodhand bravely sacrificed himself, we managed to complete half the mission. Even if there’s a punishment, it probably won’t be severe…”

The elder nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Before long, the two of them flew towards the northwestern seas.

It took several days, but they arrived near a small, desolate island covered with jagged rocks and no vegetation.

Lu Qingshan and his companion headed straight for the center of the small island.

Soon, they passed through a secluded cave entrance and arrived at the edge of a Blood Pool.

Endless blood churned with bubbles, and the air was so filled with deadly energy it made one nauseous.

At that moment, a red-robed middle-aged man emerged from the back of the hall.

“Was the operation successful? Did you get the Spiritual Vein Heart?”

The middle-aged man’s tone was very chilly.

“Reporting to the envoy, the Chen Family has been breached by us, but a mysterious strong enemy snatched away the Spiritual Vein Heart. Bloodhand also fell to the enemy’s hands, though we did manage to wound them…”

The elder stood rooted to the spot, his face a picture of respect.

Beside him, Lu Qingshan remained silent.

“Oh? So the item was taken and the mission was only half completed, you know the consequences…”

The man in the red robe glanced at Lu Qingshan and his companion, his face full of fierce energy.

“We understand,” the elder said with a bitter face.

At that moment, the red-robed man waved his hands, and two streams of blood light suddenly appeared and swiftly shot towards Lu Qingshan and his companion, instantly entering their bodies.

“Ahh…”

Piercing, agonized screams echoed through the bottom of the cave, reverberating around the edges of the Blood Pool.

The two clenched their teeth, cold sweat poured from their foreheads, and their faces began to distort.

It was only after half a cup of tea’s time that Lu Qingshan and his companion ceased their torment, their bodies soaked, their Daoist robes clinging tightly to their frames.

“The two of you, go guard our small outpost in the Southern Sea. The Flowers Sect will likely make a move soon,” the man in the red robe said, his gaze unfathomable.

“Indeed… Our sect has long been ready, just waiting for those women to act…”

“By your command!”

The two bowed their hands in salute and then slowly exited the hall.

Soon after, tranquility returned to the surroundings.

……

Several days later, inside the cave at the base of Mystic Moon Island.

Lu Li sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, the floor covered in various Spiritual Objects that densely filled the whole hall.

In the void, a great amount of light shot in all directions, and the Spiritual Energy also surged considerably.

“Indeed, the accumulation of the Chen Family over hundreds of years is extraordinary.”

Not only were there vast quantities of low-level spiritual ores on the ground, but there were also a few third-grade ores; there were about two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Of course, the most precious item was the Spiritual Vein Heart in his hands.

Lu Li toyed with the Spiritual Vein Heart. Wisps of misty energy twirled around it, and bursts of Spiritual Energy emerged.

His hands also felt a bit of coolness.

He had seen such an item before, but this Spiritual Vein Heart was much more valuable than the last.

It was already a second-grade mid-tier Spiritual Vein Heart.

As long as he placed it in the seabed cave, he could quickly elevate the Spirit Vein to second-grade mid-tier.

This brought him great joy.

While Lu Li was counting the Spiritual Objects, news about the large number of Demon Cultivators taking advantage of the Li Family’s defection and attacking nearby Foundation Establishment Families spread wildly.

This time, more than ten Foundation Establishment Families had their spiritual mountains breached, a large number of Spiritual Vein Hearts extracted, their spirit islands utterly ruined.

Countless low-level Cultivators were slaughtered or captured, making nearby Cultivators fearful for their own safety.

When the Lu Family heard this news, they were extremely vigilant.

Although they had not been attacked, seeing the dire conditions of the nearby families still struck fear in many of them.

However, knowing that they now had two Foundation Establishment Ancestors for protection, they could somewhat relax.

In recent years, under the leadership of Lu Li, the family’s production of Spirit Rice and spirit fish had been quite good. With a steady influx of Spirit Stones, the development of the Lu Family was on the rise.

The family was full of hope.

In contrast, the cultivators of the nearby Wang Family were anxious. Since the old ancestor fled with injuries last time and had not fully recovered, fortunately, they had not been attacked by Demon Cultivators this time.

They also saw the Chen Family’s tragic state, which was deeply troubling.

And as the Lu Family grew stronger, they became even more restless.

The Flowers Sect received the news and reacted oddly, with no information leaking out.

However, the cultivators felt an unusual aura, the atmosphere over the entire sea seemingly as tense as a barrel of gunpowder.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, two months were gone.

Those two months were very ordinary for Lu Li.

Aside from meditating and practicing daily, he spent time with Zhuang Guxue.

In the main hall of the cave.

Lu Li and Zhuang Guxue sat in chairs, drinking Spiritual Tea and whispering to one another.

Lu Li looked at her increasingly tender and fuller form and smiled slightly.

After years of relentless effort, her figure had become even more enchanting.

“My husband, are you prepared? The last time Elder Ye gave us some hints…”

Zhuang Guxue’s face bloomed into a smile, glancing at Lu Li with coquettish charm.

“Don’t worry, the Flowers Sect will likely take action soon.”

Lu Li smiled, drank the Spiritual Tea, and warmth rose in his belly.

While the two were talking, outside Mystic Moon Island, a red tunneling light quickly approached.

It soon crossed the edge of the island and headed towards Central Spirit Peak.

“A powerful enemy has come!”

The stationed Cultivators sparked signals, countless beams of light shot up instantly, and at that moment, a Big Formation suddenly enveloped the entire spiritual mountain.
