Unlimited Investment in the Destined Protagonist: Forging an Eternal Immortal Clan - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Slaying Three Spiritual Pill Realm Experts with One Palm, Reclaiming the Canglan Purple Gold Mine, and Storming the Zhou Family!

Lu Qingxuan led a group of clansmen from the Lu Royal Mansion, originally intending to directly attack the nearest Zhou family. However, that Canglan Purple Gold Mine happened to be near their path along the way.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Lu Qingxuan decided to first eliminate the enemies stationed at the mine, rescue the enslaved clansmen there, and then proceed to attack the Zhou family.

Lu Qingxuan led the group to descend upon the Canglan Purple Gold Mine and, without a word, immediately ordered everyone to take action, wiping out all the cultivators from the three major families.

“Kill! Avenge our clansmen!”

The group of Lu Royal Mansion clansmen charged forward, wielding various weapons, engaging in fierce combat with the members of the three major families stationed at the mine.

For a moment, spiritual light burst forth in this area, accompanied by the clashing of metal weapons and screams echoing through the air.

Under the furious assault of the Lu Royal Mansion, members of the three major families fell one by one into pools of blood.

“Damn it! These Lu Royal Mansion people are lunatics—they’re fighting like they don’t care about their lives!”

“Quick … hurry and call the three elders!”

A Zhou family member, his face filled with terror, saw this group of seemingly fearless Lu Royal Mansion fighters and panicked, shouting in rage.

Puchi!

Before he could finish speaking, a blazing blade light slashed through, splitting his body in two, blood spurting and staining the void.

However, at that moment, a furious shout rang out from the distance.

“Who dares to come here and cause trouble?!” Accompanying the voice, three Spiritual Pill Realm experts swooped in, landing in the void above this battlefield.

With a sweep of their eyes, they saw many of their own clansmen lying in pools of blood, instantly igniting murderous intent in their gazes.

“I didn’t expect you Lu Royal Mansion people to dare come here—what audacity!”

Soon, the three realized that the attackers were from the Lu Royal Mansion, as they recognized several familiar elders from the Lu family. But just as they were about to make a move, a palm strike came hurtling through the air, striking first.

“Not good!”

Under the terrifying palm strike, they sensed a lethal danger, their expressions changing drastically. In unison, the three immediately summoned their respective weapons, slashing fiercely at the incoming palm strike. Yet, under this palm strike, their efforts were futile, like scratching an itch through a boot.

The palm strike pressed down relentlessly, growing larger and larger in their pupils.

Bang!

The three were like pebbles, smashed ruthlessly into the ground. A massive five-fingered palm print crater, nearly five or six zhang (about 16-20 meters) in size, appeared on the earth.

Looking closely, the three Spiritual Pill Realm experts had been crushed into flesh and blood, staining the entire palm print crater red.

This palm strike was the Mountain-Opening Seal unleashed by Lu Qingxuan, a high-tier heavenly technique from the Human King Seal Art.  Combined with his unparalleled physical strength, even the combined efforts of three early-stage Spiritual Pill Realm cultivators could not withstand the ferocious and overwhelming power of this palm.

“Ah! The three elders are dead—run!” The members of the three families never imagined that, just when they thought the arrival of their elders would turn the tide, their elders would be killed by a single palm strike before even making a move, leaving them shocked and terrified.

How could they fight this? In an instant, they began fleeing in all directions without looking back.

“Kill!” How could the Lu Royal Mansion let them escape? They charged forward in pursuit.

At the same time, the clansmen in the mine caves, hearing that their Lu Royal Mansion kin had arrived, grew excited and rushed out from the caves, joining the battle to encircle and kill the three families’ members.

They had endured enough oppression and lashings from the three families before, and now, with a chance to turn the tables, they unleashed all their anger and methods on the three families’ members without hesitation.

In no time, the cultivators of the three families fell one by one amid screams.

After slaying the three Spiritual Pill Realm cultivators, Lu Qingxuan stood in the void, refraining from further action. Since he had promised his clansmen that whoever killed more enemies would receive corresponding rewards, he naturally wouldn’t interfere with the low-tier cultivators.

With the Lu family members taking action, it was enough to wipe out all the three families’ forces here!

For the Lu Royal Mansion clansmen, this was also a valuable combat experience, highly significant for them.

Not long after, all the members of the three major families stationed here were completely annihilated by the Lu Royal Mansion group. Many of the Lu Royal Mansion disciples returned to Lu Qingxuan’s side; though some were injured, their excitement couldn’t be concealed.

Afterward, Lu Qingxuan instructed a small group of clansmen to stay and guard the site, while the rest followed him to Xiyuan City to annihilate the Zhou family.

…

Beiyuan County, Xiyuan City, Zhou Family Estate, Guest Hall.

Today, the patriarchs of both the Fang and Han families had come to the Zhou family to discuss how to divide the shares of the Canglan Purple Gold Mine.

“Patriarch Zhou, are we really giving forty percent of the shares to the Jingyang Royal Mansion? That leaves each of our families with only twenty percent—that’s far too little!”

Han Yan, the Han family patriarch, sipped his spiritual tea and looked at Zhou Beiqin, the Zhou family patriarch, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Zhou Beiqin smiled faintly and said, “You two must understand that the only reason our three families dared to kill off the Lu Royal Mansion’s people without worrying about the imperial family stepping in to help them is because the Jingyang Royal Mansion is shielding us from all sorts of trouble. Otherwise, we might not even get ten percent! But now, we can still secure twenty percent each, which is enough for each of our families to nurture a group of strong cultivators!”

Hearing this, the other two patriarchs fell silent.

Clearly, they couldn’t refute Zhou Beiqin’s words.

The Jingyang Royal Mansion was a princely estate of the Lingyun Dynasty, wielding immense power, and they had no doubts about Zhou Beiqin’s reasoning.

After a moment of contemplation, the Fang and Han patriarchs exchanged a glance before reluctantly agreeing, “Fine, we’ll divide it according to these shares!”

But just then, a Zhou family servant stumbled in hurriedly, tripping and falling to the ground in his panic.

Seeing this, Zhou Beiqin frowned and scolded, “What’s with this flustered behavior? Don’t you know I’m hosting two distinguished guests?”

Seeing his servant in such a state, he felt it was an embarrassment to the Zhou family.

Reprimanded, the servant immediately knelt in fear and stammered, “Patriarch, it’s bad! The Lu Royal Mansion … the Lu Royal Mansion has brought a large group, and they’re killing our Zhou family members on sight!”

“Many …  many of our clansmen have been killed!”

By the end, recalling the bloody scene from earlier, the servant couldn’t help but tremble.

Hearing this, the three patriarchs were stunned at first, then their expressions darkened abruptly.

Slap!

Zhou Beiqin slammed the table and stood up first, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

“Is the Lu family here to court death?”

In his view, the current Lu Royal Mansion didn’t even have a single Spiritual Pill Realm expert, yet they dared to come to the Zhou family and start a massacre—wasn’t this just begging to die?

The Zhou family hadn’t even gone looking for trouble with them, and now the Lu Royal Mansion dared to attack their home—who gave them the courage?

“Strange, the Lu Royal Mansion shouldn’t be this reckless. Could they have enlisted some help?” The Han family patriarch’s face showed a trace of doubt as he murmured aloud.

“Hmph, enlisted help? Then I’d like to see who they’ve brought!”

With that, Zhou Beiqin stormed out of the hall.

Seeing this, the Han and Fang family patriarchs followed closely behind.
