“Wait, an opportunity, a golden opportunity!”
In an instant, Zhou Sui’s eyes lit right up.
With the death of the Lu family’s ancestor, the entire Lu family was now like a dragon without its head, lacking the protection of a foundation-building cultivator.
That is to say, the Lu family now was like a toothless tiger, at his mercy.
After all, he was already a cultivator at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation. Coupled with the help of Gu insects, he was virtually invincible at the Qi Cultivation Stage.
The Lu family, without a foundation-building cultivator, wouldn’t stand a chance against him.
“Take action.”
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui clenched his fists. He believed that if he missed this opportunity, there may not be a next time.
If he hesitated for even a little while longer, the members of the Lu family may very well make a run for it.
Even if they do not make a run, they may fall into the hands of the cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect. He wouldn’t even get a chance.
Swoosh!
Immediately, with a flicker of thought, Zhou Sui issued an order to one of his clones hidden within a large tree in the Lu family’s compound, commanding it to start its move against the cultivators of the Lu family.
Even at such a critical juncture, he did not wish to act himself, a clone would do.
Regardless, he would never put his true self in danger.
After all, no one could tell what dangers lurked in the shadows.
If a clone were to act and fail, it would just lose a clone, a trivial loss.
At this moment, there was panic and disarray among the cultivators at the Lu family mansion.
Especially the elders of the Lu family, their faces could not be gloomier. They were all as if they had lost their parents.
“How did the Ghost Demon Sect manage to breach the second stage of our protective array at Misty Cloud City so quickly?
“There’s no choice, no one thought that the demon cultivators poisoned by the poison pills would fear not death and wish for mutual destruction.” “We missed by just a move, underestimated just how ruthless and cruel those demon cultivators are.”
“If we had only half a month more to prepare, we would certainly have been able to fight our way out. How could they have breached so quickly, it has ruined our previous plans.”
“Cut the crap. Where in the world are things always smooth sailing? Not everything can go according to plan. Right now, our ancestor is buying us time to escape. Hurry, pack up and run.
“You’re right. Immediately head to the Scripture Pavilion and bring away the heritage of our Lu family. Head to our treasury and bring away the accumulation of our Lu family over the years. As long as we have these, our Lu family can rise from the ashes.”
The numerous Lu family elders were chattering.
Though they were initially panicked and at a loss by the abrupt occurrence, they quickly recovered and immediately headed towards the Lu family’s scripture Pavilion and treasury, intending to take away all the treasures within and scatter away.
Given the current situation, no hope was held for everyone to survive.
If only a portion of the descendants of the Lu family could survive, that would already be a loss cut.
“Quick stuff all the jade slips and secret books into the storage bag. These are the accumulations of our Lu family over two hundred years. They are of utmost importance, we cannot afford to lose them.
The Lu family elder, Lu Ming, appeared in the Scripture Pavilion, directing the numerous Lu family descendants to pack all the secret books into their storage bags as quickly as they could.
To a cultivator family, their heritage of knowledge was extremely crucial.
If they were to lose this knowledge, no one knew how much time it would take
to gather it all back.
Thus the Lu family viewed these heritages with great importance. They could
not afford any loss.
Rumble—
At this very moment, an intangible wave of soul energy struck, instantly covering the entire Lu family’s Scripture Pavilion.
The one initiating the attack was none other than the Dream Soul Gu, with its Dream Inducing technique!
Having progressed to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, the power of Dream Soul Gu had been enhanced to a certain degree. The strength of its illusion technique was more than double its previous power.
This ability was even more covert, even stronger. Silent, traceless. It was as if it was forcibly pulling the souls of its enemies into a dreamland. The numerous Lu family cultivators in the Scripture Pavilion were caught unprepared, instantaneously falling prey to the technique. Every single one of them froze stiff, their movements halted.
“Damn it, who on earth is it?
In the blink of an eye, Lu family elder Lu Ming’s hair stood on end. His cultivation level had reached the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation and he had practiced a powerful soul secret technique of the Lu family.
Thus, he had a certain degree of resistance against the dream inducing ability and did not fall into the dreamland.
But even so, he felt a bit dizzy, as if he were about to faint.
After all, a contest of soul power was quite straightforward. Whoever had stronger soul power dominated.
Clearly, his soul power was far weaker compared to the enemy’s.
At this moment, how could he not know that the Lu family was being targeted by an enemy?
But the problem was, wasn’t this too quick? The Ghost Demon Sect had only just breached the city, and the enemy had already found their way here. Could it be that this enemy harbored a grudge against the Lu family, having kept an eye on them incessantly?
Which was why they managed to locate them so quickly.
“NO, Even if I have to die, I cannot let others take the Lu family’s heritage. Die
with me.”
Elder Lu Ming gritted his teeth. In his desperation, he was going to ignite the talisman on his body and perish together with the enemy.
Regrettably, he was too late.
Zhou Sui had already taken action before him.
Whoosh!
Instantly, a golden ray of Sword Qi attacked swiftly. Like a bolt of lightning, it penetrated elder Lu Ming’s skull instantly, ending his life.
His eyes were wide open, reflecting fear and disbelief.
Frankly, he had never thought that he would die so quickly. What’s more, he was instantly killed.
Even just before his death, he did not know where the enemy was or who the enemy was.
Bang bang bang’.’.’.
Not only elder Lu Ming, but also the dozen or so Lu family cultivators in the Scripture Pavilion were pierced by rays of golden Sword Qi at nearly the same time.
They tumbled to the ground, each of their heads bore a hole. Almost in an instant, all the Lu family cultivators in the Scripture Pavilion were wiped out completely, without a single survivor.
“Dead?”
At this point in time, a figure emerged from the dark, obviously Zhou Sui. He indifferently observed the deceased Lu family cultivators, without a ripple in his mind.
“Is this what revenge feels like? How empty.’
Zhou Sui sighed.
The Lu family was so powerful, considered the hegemon of Misty Cloud City. They treated many loose cultivators as they wished.
He had once paid considerable rent to the Lu family and even bought a house. Even though he was oppressed by the Lu family, he dared not raise his voice, he could only endure silently.
This is what it meant to be weaker than others.
Elder Lu Ming had been particularly egregious. With just an order, he could take Zhou Sui’s life, scaring Zhou Sui into hiding.
But what about now? Elder Lu Ming was killed by Zhou Sui’s sword, without the strength to retaliate.
Even this family, which had been profligate for over a hundred years and had foundation-building cultivators, was about to be reduced to ashes. Risen because of a foundation-building cultivator, fallen because of one. This was the cycle of the Cultivation World.
There were no families in this world that could stand forever, that could always prosper..
