Chapter 119: Bloody Night (3 in 1)

Lu Qing talked to Lu Mingchao and watched her kill people in Pingyao, while turning on the system to check the profit.
【Two Star Achievement: Killing the Foundation】
[Accumulatively kill 5 foundation-building cultivators, reward 250 karma]
...
This reward was basically equivalent to the two two-star battle options that Lu Qing had just redeemed at no cost.
Of course, the used exchange item itself is also a kind of resource. Now that the war is over, he can't just enter the Crusade Mode to use the battle exchange items. There are five remaining, so he has to save as much as possible.
However, if Lu clan starts a war with Zhao clan, will he activate the conquest mode for the second time?
Lu Qing is a little bit inaccurate now.
Before, Lu Qing had also chatted with several principals of the family about the Zhao family. At that time, he and several of his children basically reached a consensus on the time to start the war, and he had to delay it as far as possible.
The Lu family is currently working on major projects. The upgrade of Yuyan Mountain’s spiritual veins requires the Lu family to pay one thousand spiritual stones each year; at the same time, before the completion of the spiritual vein upgrade, the Chaoxi cultivation will also have one thousand spiritual stones every year.
The fixed expenditure of these two thousand spirit stones is quite heavy. Counting other daily expenses, the Lu family had to spend more than four thousand spiritual stones every year during the special period of these ten years.
This expenditure cannot be saved at all.
Had it not been for Lu Chaoxi himself to decide not to pay for the past ten years, according to the treatment given to Qiming monks by ordinary families, that would be another thousand spiritual stones.
Relatively speaking, the annual income is only three thousand five thousand.
Although the Lu family has developed very fast over the years, it is inevitable that it has a weak foundation. If it weren't for the ten thousand spirit stones brought back from the battlefield, it would be impossible to hold it.
In this case, it is unwise to start a war with the Zhao family.
War is a gold swallowing beast. Although there is no saying in this world that there is no such thing as ‘when a cannon is fired, gold is ten thousand two’, but the principles are the same.
This is especially true of monks fighting. Charms and pills are all consumables, and the key prices are not cheap. If one party prepares a few talisman for a fight, the situation will be completely different.
And even if it is a magic weapon, although it can be used for a long time, it can really fight, if it is broken, it will be broken.
The pension after the monk's death, the reward after the victory... are all money.
Look at the Battle of Northern Xinjiang. In two weeks, the coalition mobilized tens of thousands of monks to fight against the white ghosts. After more than a year, it is estimated that the four major forces headed by Qingfengmen will spend millions of spirit stones. Where's the movable bone?
If the Lu family is now at war with the Zhao family, the financial pressure on the family will be very great.
The best choice is to drag it for ten years, and when the spiritual veins are upgraded, maybe Lu Mingchao will be enlightened. By then, the Lu Family will double Qiming and then shake the wrist with Zhao, the pressure will be much lighter and the chances of winning will be much greater.
But people do not do things with reason.
This incident was caused by the greed of the Zhao family and the unrestrainedness of the three Qi-training monks of the Lu family. Then the situation escalated further under the identity of Zhao Pingliang and the non-concessional mockery. Ming went down to death until Zhao Pingliang died.
After killing Zhao Pingliang, the whole thing was bad enough.
Of the seven foundation-building monks of the Zhao family, three died in the Battle of Northern Xinjiang. There were only four left. The most promising and strongest one died in the hands of the Lu family in Pingyao County.
The news came back to the Zhao family, and this battle was bound to begin.
Since it is going to fight anyway, there is no need to have any appeasement thoughts. The Zhao family stationed 14 monks in Pingyao County all the year round and killed them all.
The cultivators of the Zhao family were not mentally prepared. When they heard and perceive the movement of the county government, they became vigilant one by one, but they didn't know what happened, and they wouldn't run away because of it.
When Ming Chao came in front of him, there was no way to escape.
She first killed the three Zhao family monks in the county government, five casual cultivators, and more than 30 servants working for the Lu family.
Then he drove the flying sword to the mansion in the county town where the artificial spiritual vein was opened, Zhao Mansion was here.
Her water cloud horse was severely wounded by Zhao Pingliang's sword pill on the spot. When the battle was over, it was dying and unable to survive. Fortunately, she had a spare flying sword in her hand.
After arriving at Zhao Mansion, Ming Chao continued to kill.
The spiritual power she now reserves is actually less than 30% of the heyday. But dealing with a group of Qi-training monks who had no formation and was attacked suddenly, there was still no big problem.
The most magnificent place in Pingyao County is Zhaofu. It occupies a large area, and currently there are seven Qi-training monks living in the Zhao family, fifteen casual cultivators who follow Zhao’s orders and follow the Zhao family, and hundreds of Zhao family servants.
Lu Mingchao directly took out her Juyun Zhuan Gu cup, converted a large swath of poisonous mist, and swayed it down. Those hundreds of mortals died soon after being exposed to the poisonous mist. Even those with relatively weak strength during the refining period cannot last long under the poisonous mist.
A young Qi-training monk jumped out and screamed as he ran outside: "Where is the thief? Such a bold person who dares to go wild in Zhao Mansion?! Tired of life!"
Lu Mingchao recognized the identity of this man. He was Zhao Qing'an, the son of Zhao Pingsong. She even vaguely remembered that Lu Mingsi was injured when he was selling horses, and this guy was doing the trick behind him.
With a cold snort, the Cuifeng Shiqing Sword carried a cyan light, and instantly reached the body, the sword light flashed back and forth several times, Zhao Qingan was divided into seven or eight pieces of meat, and even the soul was wiped out.
Some qi training cultivators who have the ability and did not die in the poisonous mist, see this scene, where are you not afraid? They can't fly, they can only show their magical powers and find a way to escape.
But how can you run past Lu Mingchao?
Cuifeng Shiqing Sword and Bin Yinli Water Cable are two major means of killing the enemy.
When Bin Yin Li Shui Suo is dealing with these Qi training monks, it is more than just controlling the effect. It can easily take away the magic weapon, then wrap it around the neck, and follow Ming Chao’s gesture to lift it up. People hung in midair. The qi-training monk who was hung up, struggled for a while, and soon died.
In this way, in less than an hour, Ming Chao killed all the movable things in Zhao Mansion, and didn't let them go.
After that, she visited several other places in the city and captured the three other people of the Zhao family who were still alive, and killed them all.
When it was dawn, Brother Zhao family died absolutely. In addition to these fourteen people, even some casual cultivators and slaves who had been with the Zhao family all the year round, Ming Chao saw it and slaughtered them.
Over the course of the night, at least more than one hundred and fifty people died in the hands of Lu Mingchao, of whom nearly forty monks, and the rest were mortal servants in the Zhao Mansion.
In terms of monks alone, at least nearly a hundred monks in Pingyao County lived here all year round, and nearly half of them were killed.
Those who are still alive are basically ordinary casual cultivators who usually get closer to the Lu family, or do not participate in the battle between the two families at all.
Now, they are extremely thankful that there is no problem with their position.
At the same time, this day was called "Pingyao Bloody Night" by the monks in Pingyao, and Lu Mingchao also got the nickname "Blood Girl" after this night.
...
The next morning, Lu Tinghua took Minsi and Mei Ting into the city. After learning about what happened last night, he was shocked and reacted quickly.
On the one hand, the Zhao family's treasury was washed first, and more than 700 spiritual stones were found in this wave.
In addition, the Lu family also came down from Yuyan Mountain with ten monks, occupying a key position in the city, at least ensuring the operation of the town.
At the same time, the Lu family also began to appease the rest of the loose repairs under Pingyao.
There are many things and time is tight. When Lu Chaoxi heard about her sister's murder in Pingyao on the mountain, he quickly awakened Chaohe. Lu Chaohe could only end the retreat in a hurry, descended to Pingyao County, and began to arrange the formation.
This is purely preparing for war.
When setting up the magic circle, after seeing his sister, he had some blame in his tone.
He felt that Lu Mingchao's methods were a bit too cruel last night, he just started to kill the monks, there was no need to slaughter mortals, even the servants of the Zhao clan.
Ming Chao also recognized.
She was really blushing last night.
After dawn, she regretted a little. Those mortal servants are indeed somewhat innocent.
But after another thought, they were also doing things for the Zhao clan. When the Zhao clan was strong, these Zhao clan servants were also dazzling in Pingyao. Since they had enjoyed the bonus, it might be the price they had to pay when the Zhao family fell.
Chaohe was also helpless, just saying: "This matter will be bad for your reputation."
"It doesn't matter." Ming Chaodao, "I will kill the person who should be killed in the future."
"Ugh……"
...
Such a big thing happened and it spread to the whole city that night, it must be concealed. Ten days later, the slightly more informed people in Anling County knew what happened in Pingyao.
Everyone's eyes turned to Zhao's.
Of course, Zhao also reacted.
In the town of Anling County, they invited families from various counties, some famous casual cultivators, and even some people from other counties, to hold a meeting.
At the meeting, they announced what Lu Mingchao had done in Pingyao County ten days ago, added oil and jealousy, portrayed her as a murderous madman, and vowed to take revenge.
This approach is very upright and tricky.
But those with a heart can see that the suspicion of splashing dirty water is very high. Words such as "exhausted bamboo, hard to write", "full of evil" and "blood flow into a river" are used at every turn, as if Lu Ming slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in the county...
"It seems that if Zhao Pingliang killed Lu Mingchao and Lu Xueting on the spot, he would not wipe out the Lu family's influence in Pingyao overnight."
This is what many people think.
However, no one jumped out to sing the opposite of Zhao's at this time. In fact, many of their allies in Anling County acted as support at the venue, and they were quite provocative.
In the end, the Zhao family gathered at the gate of the city gate and prepared to set off under the leadership of the patriarch Qiming monk Zhao Zhengke.
An old man with good looks and white beard and hair stood in front of them.
"Senior Brother Qiu, can you give me any advice?" Zhao Zhengke stepped up and asked.
"Brother Zhao, I am afraid that Zongmen will not like it for such a big move." Qiu Wanyong came to persuade.
When Zhao Zhengke heard Qiu Wanyong's persuasion, he laughed angrily: "That Senior Brother Qiu meant to let me forget the Zhao family?"
"that's not what it means……"
"No need to say any more!" Zhao Zhengke interrupted sharply, "The Lu family is in Pingyao County. They killed my people and humiliated my lintel. If this hatred is not reported, how can my Zhao family stand in Anling?"
Qiu Wanyong was so unceremoniously speaking, it was difficult to keep his gentle attitude: "Is there anything that the sect will call the shots, act privately, and provoke a fight, what is it like?"
"Is it our Zhao family who provoked the fight? The bones of the fifteen members of my Zhao family have not yet been recovered! Let me stop? That's okay, let Lu Mingchao and the Lu family send out 14 monks, and bind their hands. My Ping An County"
"Don't think I don't know! What happened on that day was that your Zhao family gave up righteousness first, and Zhao Pingliang, who once killed the Lu clan with his own hands, provoked again. Lu's response is too fierce and wrong, but all right and wrong are wrong. Until you solve it privately!"
"Senior Brother Qiu, do you have to stop me today?"
"Yes." Qiu Wanyong said, "If you have ever thought about it, just knock me to the ground here!"
Zhao Zhengke stared at him, but in the end he didn't do anything.
Qiu Wanyong is not as strong as him. If he does it, he is at least 80% sure that he can defeat Qiu Wanyong without hurting his life.
But this matter is a bit too big, the Zhao family started to overthrow the Qiming monk of the sect, what is this concept?
Zhao Zhengke hated him, this Qiu Wanyong!
But what can be done? Qiu Wanyong’s attitude is too determined.
"I have taken note of today's affairs! I will report it to the sect. Wait for punishment!"
Zhao Zhengke didn't dare to do anything about it, so he could only say a cruel word, and then led someone to remove it.
Qiu Wanyong took a breath of relief.
Why not panic in his heart?
Qiu Wanyong is the person in charge of Qingfengmen in Anling County, and he doesn't usually care about too many things. The people below will naturally deal with ordinary things. Qingfeng Sect is the same throughout Feiyun Prefecture, and no one can't think about it, provoking the prestige of the sect.
But today this matter has become a big deal, and he has to come forward.
There were nearly 30 Qiming monks in Feiyun Prefecture. In the Battle of Northern Xinjiang a year ago, although there was an extra Lu Chaoxi, five people were killed. One-sixth of Qiming monks in the whole prefecture were killed and injured.
The Qiming monk is the backbone of the whole state's practice world, and the Qingfeng Sect does not want anyone to die again, even if it is not the Sect's Qiming.
From the perspective of Qingfengmen, all the families in Feiyun Prefecture are their own vassals and part of their own power. For example, the Zhao family and the Lu family can recruit them if they really want the sect.
They work together, and no matter who wins or loses, Qingfengmen doesn't want to see it. This is tantamount to a civil war.
If another enlightened monk should die, it would be even more blood loss.
Qiu Wanyong, as the head of the sect in Anling County, is naturally responsible for preventing the two sides from fighting.
But if it were the other two families, Qiu Wanyong was a monk on the fourth floor of Qiming, and he represented Qingfengmen. Which family would dare not be obedient?
But it happened to be the Zhao family...
Zhao Zhengke himself is the sixth floor of Qiming, even stronger than Qiu Wanyong. Moreover, the Zhao family's influence in the sect is also great.
The Zhao family has always been polite to Qiu Wanyong, but they will not say anything like other families.
Today, he can be considered to have spared it.
Otherwise, if you really want Zhao Zhengke to take the Zhao family cultivator out of the nest, and run to Pingyao to fight a life and death battle with the Lu family, then he is on the sect, afraid that he will have to eat a bad hang.
Now, no matter what, he stopped Zhao Zhengke, and he has done his best to fulfill his responsibilities.
The rest of the matter depends on how the sect handles it, there is not much he can manage.
"Lu Family...Zhao Family...Huh, none of them is worry-free!" Qiu Wanyong complained in his heart.
Back at the county house, he invited a small sword, wrote a letter, waved it, threw it out, and flew south.
This is a flying sword specially used to transmit letters, which can span 100,000 miles a day. In this way, it is possible to contact the sect as soon as possible.
...
Qingfeng Gate, Heliang Mountain.
It was not two days before Zhang Shiman returned to the sect and Lu Wenen was waiting for something.
They both sat on the futon until a short scream came from the sky, and the two of them were moved.
After a while, the door of the quiet room in front of her opened, and a young-looking woman in a gorgeous navy blue palace gown came out.
"Master, but there is a letter coming?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Qiu stopped Zhao Zhengke outside Anling City."
"That's good."
Lu Wenen also kowtowed deeply on the side: "Thank you, Master!"
"You don't have to be polite." The woman looked at Lu Wenen and said, "It's just that Lu Mingchao of your family acted too cruelly, and she acted first, and the subsequent sects will also decide on this. This kind of thing, I can't intervene, so let's watch when the time comes."
Ming Chao belonged to Wen En's great grandfather's generation. He couldn't say anything, so he could only kowtow again.
"I'm leaving now." As soon as the woman in the palace dress lifted her hand, a cloud of auspicious clouds rose from her feet, supporting her body, and flew away.
After she was far away, Lu Wenen once again bowed to Zhang Shiman: "This time, I also want to thank Master for his help."
Zhang Shiman shook his head and said, "I didn't do much. I just reported the matter. This matter involves the relationship between Patriarch Hai and Patriarch Zhao. Don't talk about me. Even my master has no wife. Say more."
Lu Wenen was silent.
Just now, the woman in the palace dress, named Li Yanling, was born in a casual cultivator, but when she was a teenager, she was discovered to be Shan Linggen. She was brought into the sect by Hai Sande and was taught by Hai Sande himself. Now one hundred and eighty years old, he is already a ninth-level Qiming monk.
She is also Zhang Shiman's master, that is, Lu Wenen's master.
Lu Wenen heard that Li Yanling had tried to form a golden pill ten years ago, but it failed and hurt some vitality. Only this year he healed the injury.
But even if she has experienced failure, she is still a promising figure. Li Yanling is still young, she has at least a hundred years to go, and she can hit another one or two times.
At the time of Pingyao Bloody Night, Wen En was still on Yuyan Mountain, making preparations before hair. After the news came back, the Lu family made a decisive decision and sent Wen En back to the sect.
On the way to take the flying boat to Anling City, Uncle Ming Ling, who had just built the foundation, personally sent him. Dressing up in disguise, he just entered Anling County City, and then took the fastest flying boat to Zongmen.
At this time, Zongmen had already received news from Pingyao.
But Wen En felt that there was still room to work harder.
So he found his master Zhang Shiman and asked for help.
Unable to bear the request of the disciple, Zhang Shiman wrote a letter to her own master Li Yanling.
In fact, she didn't hold any hope at all, and she didn't plan to wade in this muddy water.
But who knows, her master actually came to Heliang Mountain in person, told her about this, and passed a flying sword to Qiu Wanyong in Anling County to explain the matter and the attitude of the sect.
Now, Zongmen has not made a resolution on this matter, but there is a premise: the two families, especially Lu Chaoxi and Zhao Zhengke, cannot fight, at least temporarily.
It was precisely the attitude of the Zongmen and Li Yanling's flying sword that made Qiu Wanyong outside the gate of Anling City, even if he personally end, he would also stop the Zhao family's team.
This matter, Zhang Shiman was very surprised at first. But during the long time waiting for news outside the door, she slowly thought about the doorway.
Seeing the obedient and silent disciple, Zhang Shiman hesitated for a moment, but decided to continue to reveal a little more:
"Wen En, you have to understand that even in the sect, not everyone has one mind."
"My Qingfeng Sect, from the outer disciple to the inner disciple, to the true biography, to the golden core, to the ordinary Qi training, all have their own different positions."
"Some people are born in casual cultivators, some are from a family; some rely solely on teachers and personal efforts, and some have families behind them; the same is a monk from a family background, and some are enemies like your Lu Zhao family, and there are generations between families. Okay..."
"Just look at the line of the Zhao family, many sect monks of the Zhao family, and many families that are familiar with the Zhao family, will worship this line. However, the Zhao family's line will grow older as the Zhao family gets older, Shouyuan is about to end, and the decline is gradually revealed. The ancestor Hai was born in Raochang County, Beihai County. The Hai family is also a prominent family in Beihai for hundreds of years, and now it is gaining momentum."
"You and me, my master and apprentice, although we don't have much entanglement with all things in the sect, we must be aware that we are also monks in the same line of ancestors."
"There is also a line, which is passed down by fellow leaders of Kong Kong. The main line is casual cultivation and the inheritance of masters and apprentices. There are few cultivation families ~ EbookFREE.me~ The line of Zhao Laozu is the same line as Hai Lao Not to mention how opposed, it's just that because of the different cultivation families that they represent, they are somewhat competitive."
"This time, I'm afraid it will be these things again...Ah, I'm the most annoying of these things for the teacher on weekdays. I moved to this Heliang Mountain, but I couldn't avoid it in the end!"
Lu Wenen has been in the door for more than ten years of these things, and he has heard some of them, but it is certainly not as detailed as Zhang Shiman.
Hearing this, he could only say to Zhang Shiman: "The disciple is not filial, which makes the master embarrassed."
"Forget it." Zhang Shiman still couldn't conceal the irritability on his face, "I am a descendant of the ancestors of the sea. I can't escape this time and I won't be able to escape next time. Let's do this first. It’s really hard to tell how things will develop."
This chapter has 6,000 words, and the regular 4,000-word updates are all in it, and the extra 2,000 is a supplement, and 23 chapters are still missing.
Seven o'clock is definitely gone, see if I can write another chapter to add more in the evening!
