Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Senior Brother Lu took out the Xiaoze Golden Sword and released it directly. In an instant, the Xiaoze Golden Sword transformed into a golden light and shot into the sky.

This Xiaoze Golden Sword is specifically designed for transmitting messages. It is extremely fast, and even a Golden Core cultivator wouldn't have the speed to stop it, let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Therefore, in the cultivation world, most messages are transmitted using the Xiaoze Golden Sword.

Inside the Qingyun Gate, in the central hall of the inner gate.

Sect Leader Lu is discussing matters with Elder Liang.

A golden light flew in quickly from outside and landed in front of Sect Leader Lu.

"Xiaoze Golden Sword!" Sect Leader Lu became serious. He could sense that the residual aura on this Xiaoze Golden Sword was left by the great cultivators who went out to investigate the cause of Lu Chuanxing's death.

Sect Leader Lu became serious and reached out to take the Xiaoze Golden Sword.

A message entered Sect Leader Lu's mind.

"What?! Junior Brother Lu Yuanfeng is dead!" Sect Leader Lu's expression changed drastically, and his aura instantly became fierce.

"Lu Yuanfeng is dead? How is that possible!" Elder Liang, who was standing to the side, also changed his expression drastically upon hearing this.

They could not fathom how Lu Yuanfeng, a sword cultivator, could have died and vanished.

"Could it be that the Valley Master of Biluo Valley, Hua Luoyu, did it? Only she has the power and the motive," Elder Liang speculated.

Lu Yuanfeng once entered the interior of Biluo Valley alone and defeated several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators without a single defeat.

Last time, Hua Luoyu severely injured Lu Chuanxuan, the senior disciple of the Qingyun Sect's inner sect, and those injuries haven't fully healed yet.

Who knows, it might be Hua Luoyu again this time.

"Only that crazy woman, Hua Luoyu, could do something like this," Elder Liang said to Sect Leader Lu.

The more Sect Leader Lu listened, the uglier his expression became.

"Why did Hua Luoyu kill Lu Yuanfeng, and is this related to Lu Chuanxing's death?" Sect Leader Lu had all sorts of guesses in his mind, but no matter what, he couldn't find the answer.

"It seems we need to plan and prepare even more thoroughly!"

Sect Leader Lu's goal was to lure out the Golden Core cultivator, True Person Kuaihuo, from Biluo Valley, and then use the high-grade magic weapon from the Lu family of Qingyun Sect to ambush and kill True Person Kuaihuo.

Then, by obtaining the Golden Core of the Joyful Immortal, and using a secret demonic technique, he broke through his own cultivation level, obtained a trace of golden essence, and entered the Golden Core stage.

Even if this approach leads to the complete severance of one's path and a lifetime of no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

In those major powers, a Golden Core cultivator might only be an inner disciple, but in the Canglin region, a Golden Core cultivation level is sufficient!

Moreover, the Golden Core stage cultivator from Qingyun Sect has now disappeared.

If this news were to leak out someday, the Qingyun Sect would face annihilation!

He can only rely on himself to find a way to break through to the Golden Core stage.

And Biluo Valley is his target!

That carefree immortal is nearly two thousand years old, and has already stepped one foot into the coffin. Moreover, he has not made a sound for many years, and is probably already in the five signs of decay.

Thinking of this, Sect Leader Lu of the Qingyun Sect spoke to Elder Liang, the current patriarch of the Liang family:

"Elder Liang, with Qingyun Sect beset by internal and external troubles, the Lu, Liang, and Ma families must unite to overcome this crisis. If Biluo Valley dares to kill Lu Yuanfeng today, they will dare to attack Qingyun Sect tomorrow!"

"What Sect Leader Lu said is absolutely right. My Liang family will definitely follow the Lu family's lead without hesitation." Elder Liang nodded and said firmly.

"Good, good, good! Exploring the Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) novel genre, there's bound to be one that suits you. With you saying that, I'm relieved," Sect Leader Lu said with great satisfaction.

"Perfect timing, there's something I need the Liang family's help with right now."

"I've heard that the Liang family has a thousand-year-old spiritual ginseng. For the sake of the future of the Qingyun Sect, I wonder if I could ask for a bit of it? Of course, I'm not doing this for myself; it's all for the sake of the Qingyun Sect."

Upon hearing this from Sect Leader Lu, Elder Liang, though still wearing a fake smile, was inwardly cursing and wishing he could kick him.

This thousand-year-old ginseng is extremely precious; it has reached the level of a superior third-grade spiritual object.

It can be described as a treasure used by a true Golden Core stage cultivator.

Even with the Liang family's inheritance to this day, only a tiny fraction of it is intended for the Liang family to use as a spiritual object for future Core Formation.

Even he, the head of the Liang family, wouldn't dare to use it lightly under normal circumstances.

This guy is something else, he actually dares to ask for it.

"This..." Elder Liang was about to refuse.

But he was interrupted again by Sect Leader Lu.

"Elder Liang, you should think this through. Of the three major sects, only our Qingyun Sect is left without a Golden Core cultivator to oversee things. If we delay any longer, this news will eventually be exposed, and the consequences will be unimaginable," Sect Leader Lu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Elder Liang's face darkened, and he almost ground his teeth to powder.

"Alright, I will send someone to deliver the thousand-year-old ginseng tomorrow." After saying that, Elder Liang did not want to stay any longer and left directly.

Sect Leader Lu watched Elder Liang's retreating figure and sneered inwardly.

He wasn't afraid at all that the Liang family wouldn't give him the thousand-year-old ginseng.

Although the Lu family patriarch, a Golden Core stage cultivator, has disappeared.

The reason why the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the Lu family can use replicas of the Mountain and Sea Flag is precisely this.

With this top-grade spiritual artifact, the Mountain and Sea Banner, Sect Leader Lu alone is enough to sweep away the Liang and Ma families.

It would be a losing proposition to completely break ties now, so we should try to squeeze some more money out of both families.

"It's not just the Liang family's thousand-year-old ginseng; I've heard that the Ma family has a spirit fish that's also extraordinary. I need to find a way to extract it," Sect Leader Lu thought to himself.

On the other side, in Biluo Valley, Hua Luoyu stood in the courtyard that resembled a wedding room.

Listening to the reports from the four mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators under his command.

"Lu Chuanxing of Qingyun Sect and sword cultivator Lu Yuanfeng are both dead, killed by an unknown powerful cultivator," Hua Luoyu murmured to herself.

Upon hearing this news, the first person she thought of was her disciple Jiang Wu (Jiang Shi's pseudonym).

"Interesting, very interesting." Hua Luoyu laughed like a silver bell.

"We in Biluo Valley have no need to concern ourselves with the affairs of Qingyun Sect. Issue the order that no one is to participate in this matter."

"Yes, Valley Master," the four Foundation Establishment stage cultivators replied respectfully.

Meanwhile, inside the Lingxu Sect, Shangguan Shuo returned to the sect after a long absence.

He had a secret conversation with Sect Master Xu of the Lingxu Sect.

The topic of conversation was the cause of death of Lu Yuanfeng and Lu Chuanxing.

"Perhaps it was Biluo Valley that made the move," Sect Master Xu said.

"No, absolutely not. Hua Luoyu certainly has the ability to do this, but she won't do it," Shangguan Shuo said with great certainty.

He had fought Hua Luoyu several times, and the two had known each other for many years. Shangguan Shuo knew Hua Luoyu very well.

"If it wasn't Biluo Valley that made the move, then it must be another force," Sect Master Xu of Lingxu Sect said in a deep voice as he stood up.
