Lu Qing Xuan led a group of Lu Mansion clan members, intending to directly attack the nearest Zhou family.
However, the Cang Lan Purple Gold Mine Vein was located near their path.
After a brief contemplation, Lu Qing Xuan decided to eliminate the enemies guarding the mine vein first, rescue the controlled clan members, and then attack the Zhou family.
Lu Qing Xuan led everyone to the Cang Lan Purple Gold Mine Vein and, without any hesitation, immediately ordered everyone to attack, eliminating all the cultivators from the three major families.
“Kill! Avenge our clan members!”
A group of Lu Mansion clan members charged forward, wielding various weapons, engaging in a bloody battle with the three major families’ guards stationed at the mine vein.
For a moment, the heavens and earth were filled with dazzling spiritual light, the clash of metal, and screams.
One by one, the cultivators of the three major families fell in a pool of blood under the furious assault of the Lu Mansion clan members.
“Ah, damn it! These Lu Mansion people are lunatics, they don’t value their lives!”
“Quick… quickly go and summon the three Elders!”
A Zhou family member’s face was filled with terror. Seeing these seemingly fearless Lu Mansion people, he was immediately overwhelmed with panic and roared.
Puchi!
Before he could finish his sentence, a blazing blade light sliced through him, splitting his body in two. Blood splattered, showering the void.
However, at that moment, a booming voice echoed from afar.
“Who are you, daring to wreak havoc here!”
Along with the voice, three Xuan Dan Realm experts arrived, descending upon the battlefield in the void.
Their eyes swept across the scene, and seeing many of their own clan members lying dead in a pool of blood, their eyes filled with killing intent.
“I never thought you, the Lu Mansion, would dare to come here. You have quite the guts!”
Soon, the three realized that the attackers were all from the Lu Mansion, as they recognized several familiar Lu Mansion Elders.
However, just as they were about to attack, a palm strike arrived out of nowhere, taking the initiative.
“Not good!”
Faced with that terrifying palm strike, they felt an overwhelming sense of danger and their faces changed drastically.
Without hesitation, the three immediately summoned their weapons and slashed at the incoming palm strike.
However, their efforts were futile against the palm strike, as if merely scratching an itch.
The palm strike continued to press down, growing larger and larger in their pupils.
Bang!
The three were like pebbles, ruthlessly smashed into the earth.
A five-fingered palm imprint, nearly five or six zhang in size, appeared on the ground.
Looking around, the three Xuan Dan Realm experts were crushed into flesh and blood, staining the entire palm imprint crater red.
This palm strike was the Open Mountain Seal unleashed by Lu Qing Xuan, a top-tier Heavenly Rank skill from the *Human King Seal Scripture*.
Coupled with his unparalleled physical strength.
Even with three Xuan Dan Realm early stage cultivators joining forces, they were unable to withstand the force and might of this single palm strike.
“Ah! The three Elders are dead, flee!”
The three families never imagined that after summoning the Elders, they would still be crushed by a palm strike. This left them in shock and fear.
How could they possibly fight back? All at once, they turned and fled without a second thought.
“Kill!”
The Lu Mansion people wouldn't let them escape and charged after them.
At the same time, those trapped in the mine tunnels, hearing the arrival of the Lu Mansion clan members, were filled with excitement. They rushed out from the tunnels, joining the battle to eliminate the three families’ members.
They had suffered enough oppression and whipping from the three families. Now, with the chance to turn the tables, they unleashed all their anger and power upon the three families’ members.
In an instant, the cultivators of the three families perished one after another amidst their screams.
After eliminating the three Xuan Dan Realm cultivators, Lu Qing Xuan stood in the void, refraining from attacking.
Since he had promised his clan that whoever killed more enemies would receive corresponding rewards, he naturally wouldn’t attack those lower-ranked cultivators.
The Lu family members were more than capable of eliminating all the three families’ members here!
This was also a valuable combat experience for the Lu Mansion people, an important lesson for them.
Before long, all the cultivators of the three families stationed here were wiped out by the Lu Mansion people.
Many Lu Mansion disciples returned to Lu Qing Xuan’s side. Although some were injured, their excitement overshadowed the pain.
Then, Lu Qing Xuan ordered a small group of clan members to stay behind, while the rest followed him to Xi Yuan City to obliterate the Zhou family.
…
Bei Yuan County, Xi Yuan City, Zhou family estate, guest reception hall.
Today, the patriarchs of the Fang and Han families arrived at the Zhou family to discuss the allocation of the Cang Lan Purple Gold Mine Vein.
“Patriarch Zhou, are we really going to give four-tenths of the share to Jing Yang 王府?”
“If so, each of our families will only get two-tenths, which is too little!”
Han family patriarch, Han Yan, sipped his spirit tea and looked at Zhou family patriarch, Zhou Bei Qin, with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Zhou Bei Qin smiled, “You two should know that the reason we dared to kill the Lu Mansion people, without worrying about the imperial family intervening to help them, is because Jing Yang 王府 will protect us from any trouble.”
“Otherwise, we might not even get a tenth of the share!”
“Now, we can still get two-tenths. This is enough for each of our families to cultivate a group of strong warriors!”
The other two families remained silent.
They couldn’t refute Zhou Bei Qin’s words.
Jing Yang 王府 was a royal 王府 of the Ling Yun Dynasty with great power. They had no doubt about Zhou Bei Qin’s words.
After pondering for a moment, the Fang and Han family patriarchs exchanged a glance and finally conceded, “Alright, let’s allocate it based on this share.”
However, at that moment.
A Zhou family servant rushed in, flustered and panicked. Due to his nervousness, he tripped and fell.
Seeing this, Zhou Bei Qin furrowed his brow and reprimanded, “What’s with all the fuss? Don’t you know I’m hosting two esteemed guests?”
Seeing his servant’s behavior, he felt embarrassed for the Zhou family.
The servant was scolded and immediately knelt down, panicking, “Patriarch, it’s not good. The Lu Mansion… the Lu Mansion has sent a large group of people. They killed everyone they encountered from the Zhou family!”
“Many… many clan members have been killed by them!”
As he spoke, recalling the bloody scenes, the servant couldn’t help but shiver.
The three patriarchs were stunned for a moment, then their faces darkened.
Slap!
Zhou Bei Qin slammed his hand on the table, the first to rise, his eyes flashing with cold light.
“Are they trying to commit suicide by coming to our Zhou family?”
In his eyes, the current Lu Mansion lacked even a single Xuan Dan Realm expert. Yet, they dared to attack the Zhou family and kill indiscriminately. Wasn’t this suicide?
They, the Zhou family, had been tolerant enough to not seek revenge. Now, the Lu Mansion dared to attack their Zhou family. Who gave them the courage to do so?
“Strange. The Lu Mansion wouldn’t be so reckless. Could it be that they have sought help from someone else?!”
A look of doubt appeared on the face of the Han family patriarch as he spoke softly.
“Humph, sought help? Then let’s see who they’ve sought help from!”
After saying that, Zhou Bei Qin immediately headed towards the entrance of the hall.
Seeing this, the Han and Fang family patriarchs followed closely behind.
