“Elder Xu, Elder Zhang are dead.”
“Who killed them?”
“Don’t know.”
Several experts from the Yellow Springs Sect appeared at the scene where Lu Changsheng had slain the two Elders of the Yellow Springs Sect. Aside from signs of battle, there were no other clues.
Two Earth Immortal Realm experts had died just like that.
Many Sects and Loose Cultivators in Cangyu bore grudges against the Yellow Springs Sect, but it was difficult to trace which specific Sect or Loose Cultivator had taken action.
“These two were collecting Immortal Stones from various Sects, and the last Sect they left was Mount Shu.”
“Mount Shu?”
“That’s Xuan Sha Sect. They have two early-stage Earth Immortal Realm experts.”
“Elder Xu and Elder Zhang, facing such opponents, would not possibly be unable to escape. It shouldn’t be the work of Mount Shu; they don’t have the strength.”
The Yellow Springs Sect experts, unable to find the perpetrator, were extremely frustrated.
At Mount Shu, Lu Changsheng had killed two Elders of the Yellow Springs Sect and obtained 1.2 million Immortal Stones.
These Immortal Stones could be exchanged for a vast amount of treasures, to be used for teaching his disciples.

“Qianqian, take these 300,000 Immortal Stones and follow the list to the black market to purchase a batch of treasures. Do not sneak any snacks on the way.”
Lu Changsheng gave a Space Ring to his eighth disciple, Ning Qianqian, sending her to the black market to buy treasures.
“Disciple understands.”
Ning Qianqian, carrying the Space Ring, went to a city controlled by Mount Shu to purchase items.
In the black market, Ning Qianqian, with her purple hair, arrived. The Mount Shu disciples managing the black market hurriedly gave their respects: “Sister Ning.”
Ning Qianqian was a Direct Disciple of Mount Shu, second only to Lu Changsheng in status.
“I am following my master’s orders to buy a batch of treasures for cultivation.”
“What treasures does the Sect Leader want? Just let us know, there’s no need to spend money on them.”
“Rules are rules. The income of the black market is tied to the Sect’s cultivation resources. Even my master will abide by the rules he set himself; he won’t arbitrarily take possession of the Sect’s resources.”
“The master is truly righteous. Sister, pick whatever treasures you want; we’ll sell them to you at the lowest price.”
“Here’s the list.”
Ning Qianqian gave the list to several Mount Shu disciples, then sat in the black market sipping tea.
She, as a disciple of Lu Changsheng, had become accustomed to the way of survival for human cultivators.
Mount Shu controlled dozens of cities, inhabited by human Loose Cultivators as well as those from the Demon Race and even more figures with unknown origins.
In the black market, a cultivator with a Longsword on his back noticed Ning Qianqian and his pupils shrank: “Finally found her. Her Daoist Robe has an Immortal Sword and the mark of a hovering mountain, Mount Shu’s emblem, she’s been hiding in a Sect.”
After Ning Qianqian left the black market, this cultivator transmitted a message to several Elders of the Divine Lightning Sect: “The kin of the Dragon Emperor is in Mount Shu; we must immediately set out to Mount Shu to capture her.”
“We finally found them!”
The Divine Lightning Sect Elders were overjoyed; they had been searching for Lu Changsheng and his disciple for many years. Because Lu Changsheng and his disciple usually cultivated in Tianxuan Mountain, their whereabouts had always been elusive; now, they finally found their hiding place.
“If Mount Shu refuses to hand over the kin of the Dragon Emperor, then we’ll eradicate Mount Shu.”
The leading Elder of Divine Lightning Sect had eyes like the vast stars.
He was a Great Accomplishment Earth Immortal, far surpassing early-stage Earth Immortal cultivators.
One by one, the searching Elders of Divine Lightning Sect rose to the sky, turning into streaks of light, flying towards Tianxuan Mountain.
“Earth Immortal experts?”
“Cangyu really is a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. In our city, there are Loose Immortals living in seclusion, and we knew nothing about it.”
The Mount Shu disciples inside the city were unaware that these Loose Immortals’ target was their Sect’s vital ground.
Tianxuan Mountain.
Boom!
One of the mountain peaks was destroyed by a palm strike from the Elder of Divine Lightning Sect, and dozens of Mount Shu disciples met an untimely death!
“Who dares to be so presumptuous in our Mount Shu!”
Elder Luo transformed into a stream of light, leading a group of Mount Shu disciples to surround the intruders who had rushed into Mount Shu.
All the intruders had an Immortal Sword on their backs and stood proudly suspended in the air, looking down at the many Mount Shu disciples.
“Hand over the kin of the Dragon Emperor, or face annihilation.”
The Divine Lightning Sect Elders looked down with contempt.
Mount Shu, a small Sect like this, was akin to an ant shaking a tree in front of the colossal Divine Lightning Sect.
“The kin of the Dragon Emperor? What kin of the Dragon Emperor?”
“Who exactly are you people?”
Elder Luo and the group of Mount Shu disciples were puzzled; they knew nothing about this so-called kin of the Dragon Emperor.
“Who we are doesn’t matter, just hand over the kin of the Dragon Emperor.”
The Ninth Layer Earth Immortal of Divine Lightning Sect unleashed his entire cultivation base, his terrifying aura causing Tianxuan Mountain to shake, the earth and mountains to tremble, and the water in the ponds to ripple.
“A Great Accomplishment Earth Immortal expert!”
Elder Luo and the other Mount Shu disciples’ faces changed drastically.
A Great Accomplishment Earth Immortal had the power to destroy the entire Mount Shu!
And the most terrifying thing was these Earth Immortal experts; they had no small background.
“Spatial Imprisonment!”
An Elder of Divine Lightning Sect spread his five fingers, using a supreme Divine Skill to imprison the space within a hundred miles, ensuring no one from Mount Shu could escape.
“…”
Lu Changsheng appeared with his two disciples, Xiao Fan and Ning Qianqian, calculating the possibilities of dealing with the several Elders of Divine Lightning Sect.
Lu Changsheng thought of dozens of possibilities, but the success rate was minuscule.
Even if Lu Changsheng swallowed a Twelfth Grade Immortal Pill and fully activated the mid-grade Ultimate Treasure, the Absolute Immortal Sword, he was not sure that he could kill the Ninth Layer Earth Immortal of Divine Lightning Sect.
Lu Changsheng’s cultivation was six realms below that of the Divine Lightning Sect’s Ninth Layer Earth Immortal Elder.
Moreover, all the Elders from Divine Lightning Sect were of Earth Immortal cultivation level, ranging from the first to the ninth layer.
Even if Lu Changsheng barely killed the highest-cultivated Elder of Divine Lightning Sect, he would fall to the other Elders’ hands.
