“Master, how did I perform?”

Lu Qinglian looked to Lu Changsheng for praise, her expression smug and triumphant.

She had defeated two great experts from the Ancient Helian Clan in a row, both of them in the Divine King Realm.

“So-so, you still lack depth.”

Lu Changsheng knew that since Lu Qinglian had obtained the Green Emperor Inheritance, her physique was already very strong. It was just that her cultivation level still fell short, unable to fully unleash the potential of the Martial King Divine Physique.

“It seems Lian still has to work hard.”

Lu Qinglian stuck out her tongue.

So-so…

Lin Tianyi and other Elders from Mount Taihua Sacred Land accompanying her were sweating through their clothes.

With three punches, Lu Qinglian nearly killed Helian Xiong, and severely injured Helian Ding. Such a performance, in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, was only considered so-so. Then what about them from Mount Taihua Sacred Land, weren’t they even less than so-so?

Because the two Ancient Families initially only intended to kidnap Lu Changsheng, then exchange him with Mount Taihua Sacred Land for Su Yun, they didn’t plan on dealing a deadly blow, the Elders of Mount Taihua Sacred Land basically suffered no casualties.

Lu Changsheng repelled the experts from the two major clans and then led the team, continuing their journey towards Mount Taihua Sacred Land.

Elsewhere, Helian Ding and Huangfu Yin met again, both quite disheveled, neither in a position to mock the other.

“Damn, we never expected Lu Changsheng and his disciples to be so terrifyingly strong. Had we known, we would have asked the Ninth Ancestor to take action.”

Huangfu Yin was incredibly frustrated.

The two Ancient Families had severely underestimated Lu Changsheng’s strength.

The intelligence from the two Ancient Families was still at the stage where Lu Changsheng defeated Emperor Ku at the Heavenly Court convention.

According to information from the two Ancient Families, Lu Changsheng’s victory over Emperor Ku meant his strength, at most, could be compared to a Seventh Rank Divine King. They sent ninety-nine peerless experts, at least ten of whom were in the Divine King Realm, and two Greatly Accomplished God-Kings leading the group, confident they could easily capture him.

Huangfu Yin and Helian Ding pursued Lu Changsheng to Immortal Dynasty, learning that he had executed the Sky Martial Demon Monarch at Ziyang Academy, realizing they had underestimated Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level — just not to the extent of by a billion times.

“Now that he has escaped back to Mount Taihua Sacred Land and is on guard, it won’t be easy to capture him alive. We can only return to seek guidance from the Clan Leader and ask the Ancestors to act in capturing him. We may even have to use the Clan’s Treasure to swiftly capture this person.”

Having experienced Lu Changsheng’s strength, Huangfu Yin knew that by his own ability, he could not capture Lu Changsheng alive, and had to return to his family to ask the Ancestors to take action.

“Our Ancient Helian Clan will not let this go easily.”

Helian Ding’s eyes were gloomy and fierce. He and the Ancient Helian Clan had lost all face, and they needed to regain their honor at any cost.

At Mount Taihua Sacred Land, the captain guarding the gate, Wu De, had become an early-stage Immortal Emperor Realm expert. Seeing Lu Changsheng leading the team back from Immortal Dynasty, he immediately came forward to greet them: “Holy Son, was your journey smooth?”

“Fairly smooth.”

Lu Changsheng was about to take charge of Mount Taihua Sacred Land and Wu De would also be his subordinate, making Lu Changsheng very familiar with him.

Sweat.

Lin Tianyi and the others were speechless once again.

This trip to the Immortal Dynasty to attend the Confucian Sect convention was filled with twists and turns, not only encountering several Demon Lords, but also being tracked and engaged in a fierce combat by two Ancient Cultivator Families on the return trip. And all that was still considered smooth?

“Who is this?”

Wu De noticed an additional Princess among those who had returned, and the Princess’s demeanor and manners were extremely noble, clearly indicating she was a significant figure.

“This is the Princess of Immortal Dynasty.”

“So it’s the Princess. I am Wu De, and I pay my respects to Your Highness.”

The foundation of Immortal Dynasty was comparable to that of a Holy Land, and the Princess was equivalent to the Saint of a Holy Land, far above Wu De in status.

The visit of the Princess was a significant event, yet Lu Changsheng had quietly brought her back without anyone noticing.

“Dispense with the formalities.”

This was the Princess’s first visit to Mount Taihua Sacred Land. The main peak of Mount Taihua soared nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang into the air, wrapped in clouds and mist, its atmosphere majestic, leaving even the well-traveled Princess in awe.

“You all take Princess Yao to Yuntai Peak, select a superior cave for her residence, as she will be cultivating there for a time. I need to visit the Ancestors behind the mountain.”

Lu Changsheng had some tricky matters that required the Sacred Land’s help, so he let several disciples take Yao Yusheng to Yuntai Peak to settle in.

Lu Changsheng himself went to the back mountain for a visit.

Yuntai Peak, Su Yun is instructing Su Xiaoqi in cultivation.

Several streaks of light descended upon Yuntai Peak.

“It seems that my senior brothers and sisters have returned,” Su Xiaoqi felt the presence of Lin Qingzhi, Lu Qinglian, and others, “There’s no trace of Master’s aura, but there is an unfamiliar one.”

“Perhaps your master has taken on another disciple. Your master really is a remarkable person, taking in so many disciples with monstrous talents. It’s hard to imagine just how many Saints and Great Emperors will emerge from his lineage in the future.”

As the Family Head of the Ancient Su Clan, Su Yun, who had seen much and was knowledgeable, was aware of the terrifying talents of Lu Changsheng’s disciples.

Her sister, Su Xiaoqi, is no ordinary person either; in fact, she is the most talented youth of the Ancient Su Clan.

“The Clan Leader of the Ancient Su Clan resides here on Yuntai Peak? Perhaps in the future, we could get to know this person, which would be greatly beneficial to our Immortal Dynasty.”

The Divine Sense of the Princess swept over in this direction, acknowledging that Su Yun, the Clan Leader of the Ancient Su Clan, also resided on Yuntai Peak.

Now she had the opportunity to meet Su Yun.

The Ancient Su Clan is, after all, a top-tier Cultivator Clan. Although the Ancestors of the Ancient Su Clan are currently trapped in the Deep Void, there is a possibility of their escape.

If the Immortal Dynasty were to befriend the Ancient Su Clan, they might receive their support in the future.

At the back mountain of Mount Taihua Sacred Land, Lu Changsheng arrived at the residence of the Ancient Ancestors, where an old woman was sitting by the lake, fishing.

With the cultivation level of the old woman, a single hand could obliterate the entire lake; fishing was merely a pastime for her.

“You’re back?”

“Elder, I’ve caused some trouble outside, and I will need your protection when the time comes,” Lu Changsheng said.

“What kind of trouble?”

The old woman’s face was lined with black streaks.

Based on her understanding of Lu Changsheng, the troubles that he got involved in were rarely minor.

“It’s like this…”

Lu Changsheng explained the pursuit of him by the two great Ancient Families.

“The Ancient Helian Clan and the Ancient Huangfu Clan, together with the Ancient Su Clan, are all extremely old families, related to the Chaos Race from the legends of the ancient times. It is very possible that the Ancient Su Clan possesses a treasured item of the Chaos Race, hence the Helian and Huangfu Families are so aggressive and are trying everything to capture Su Yun alive,” Lu Changsheng said.

The old woman listened to the story, her demeanor still calm and composed.

She is the sister of the Mount Taihua Goddess and has participated in the ancient wars alongside the Mount Taihua Goddess. She has reached the realm of immortality and has witnessed all kinds of storms, feeling little fear toward the Ancient Helian and Huangfu Families.

Indeed, the Ancient Helian and Huangfu Families have profound foundations, but Mount Taihua Sacred Land is not to be trifled with, especially here in Mount Taihua, where the Great Formation left by the Mount Taihua Goddess exists, and the old woman herself presides over it, making it difficult for the two Ancient Families to attack.

Moreover, Mount Taihua Sacred Land has connections with places like Yaochi, Changliu Mountain, and Guanghan Palace, which would not stand idly by.

Overall, as long as Lu Changsheng stays within, he has nothing to worry about.

The Ancestor is truly deserving of her title, guessing the intentions of the two Ancient Cultivator Families in an instant.

“Elder, do you know what this Chaos Race is?”

“I have heard from my sister that the Chaos Race is a tribe that has existed since the beginning of the heavens and the earth and was later exterminated. That is all I know,” the old woman said.

“Elder, there is another matter,” Lu Changsheng added.

“Another matter?”

The old woman’s fishing rod wobbled, causing ripples to spread across the surface of the lake.

Lu Changsheng had already attracted trouble from two great Ancient Cultivator Families with just one trip out, and now there was more?

Although she had seen through life and death, she could hardly cope with so many troubles.

“Please look, Elder.”

Lu Changsheng took out the Mountain and Rivers Chart.

Having captured the daughter of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable and brought her to Mount Taihua Sacred Land, it was necessary to inform the elders of the Sacred Land about this matter. Otherwise, given the character of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, he might forcefully invade Mount Taihua Sacred Land.

If the elders were aware of this matter, they could make preparations in advance. Should the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable forcefully invade, they could activate the Mountain Protection Array.

“…”

The old woman was rendered speechless upon seeing Dantai Meng in the Mountain and Rivers Chart. How could it be that Lu Changsheng indeed captured the daughter of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable and brought her to Mount Taihua Sacred Land?
