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

Chapter update reminder: Chapter 282 The Destruction of Qingyun Sect, read here.

Jiang Shi left Lin Yanyi at the old Lin family site and returned to Qingyun Sect alone. At this time, the disciples were still kneeling in the square.

They saw Jiang Shi fall from the sky, lying face down on the ground, his forehead pressed against the cold stone slab, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Jiang Shi glanced at the kneeling people.

There were hundreds of people in the square, including outer disciples in the Qi Refining stage and inner elders in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Those from the Lu family and those not from the Lu family are mixed together and indistinguishable.

No one dared to move. A few of the bolder ones secretly raised their heads to peek, then quickly lowered them again, like turtles retracting their heads.

Jiang Shi walked to the entrance of the main hall, turned around, and looked at the people kneeling on the ground.

"Sect Leader Lu is dead," Jiang Shi said in a deep voice.

No one dared to speak, no one dared to ask. Even their breathing was kept to a minimum.

"The Qingyun Sect is hereby disbanded, effective today."

This time, someone couldn't hold back any longer. An elder in the Foundation Establishment stage stood up. He was from a collateral branch of the Lu family and had been in the Qingyun Sect for over two hundred years, working his way up from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage. He had a deep affection for the sect.

"Master Jiang, the Qingyun Sect has a thousand-year-old tradition; you cannot..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Jiang Shi raised his hand, and a beam of Gengjin divine light shot out. The golden light was as fast as lightning, passing through the elder's chest, exiting from his back, and striking a stone pillar in the main hall, leaving a fist-sized hole.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His body swayed, and then he fell straight down.

With a "bang," the corpse crashed onto the stone slab.

Blood flowed from beneath the corpse, spreading across the stone floor. Several disciples who were nearby had their knees soaked in blood, their faces as white as paper, and their jaws chattering.

The entire room fell silent.

No one dared to move, no one dared to utter a sound.

Jiang Shi looked at the remaining people, his voice not loud, but everyone could hear him clearly.

"Members of the Lu family, step forward."

No one stepped forward.

Jiang Shi waited a moment, then his spiritual sense surged out from his sea of ​​consciousness, like a large net, covering everyone present.

He could clearly discern who belonged to the Lu family and who did not through his spiritual sense.

The Lu family members all carried small jade tokens, while the servant disciples carried small stone tokens.

He raised his hand and grabbed a middle-aged man in the Foundation Establishment stage, who flew out of the crowd and landed in front of him.

The man was wearing a blue Taoist robe, and the jade pendant at his waist was engraved with the character "Lu".

He is the cousin of Sect Leader Lu, and a direct descendant of the Lu family.

"Spare me... Master Jiang, spare me..." The man lay on the ground, kowtowing desperately. His forehead hit the stone slab, breaking the skin after a few hits, and his face was covered in blood.

"I'm not from the sect leader's branch; I'm from a collateral branch. I don't know anything..."

Jiang Shi slammed his palm down.

The Earth element of Wutu Zhenyue gathers the power of mountains in his palm, and with one palm strike to the top of that person's head, he kills him!

He raised his hand again and grabbed. A second person flew out. He was a young man, in his early twenties, at the eighth level of Qi Refining, from a collateral branch of the Lu family.

Tears still clung to his face, and he was trembling like a leaf.

"Don't kill me... I'm not a direct descendant of the Lu family, I'm just a collateral descendant. My mother was a servant disciple, and my father was also a collateral descendant. Please..."

Jiang Shi killed him with another palm strike.

The third one, Jiang Shi killed with another palm strike.

The fourth, the fifth, and the sixth.

One after another. Jiang Shi picked out the members of the Lu family one by one, like picking things out of a crowd, and killed them one by one.

Some people begged for mercy, some cursed him, some cried, and some were too frightened to speak.

Some people tried to escape, but after standing up and taking two steps, they were pierced through the leg by the Gengjin Divine Light, fell to the ground and screamed in agony. No one could escape.

Hundreds of corpses lay scattered across the square, blood pooling and flowing down the stone slabs, staining several steps red.

Jiang Shi stood amidst the corpses, just standing there, looking at the remaining people.

The remaining disciples knelt in pools of blood, trembling and pale-faced.

They were not members of the Lu family; they were all outer disciples who had started as menial servants.

Jiang Shi looked at them and said, "You can leave now."

But no one dared to make a move.

"I said you can leave now," Jiang Shi repeated, his voice louder than before, carrying a hint of threat.

These dozens of people then scrambled down the mountain like startled rabbits.

Some fell down, got up, and kept running; others didn't even want their magical implements anymore.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the square was empty.

All that remained were Jiang Shi, corpses scattered all over the ground, and blood everywhere.

Jiang Shi stood in the center of the square, the wind carrying a heavy stench of blood. He stared at the corpses, his face expressionless.

The Lu family is finished.

From this day forward, the Lu family will no longer exist in the Canglin region.

Jiang Shi raised his hand and collected all the corpses.

Jiang Shi turned around and walked into the inner hall of Qingyun Sect.

The Qingyun Sect has been established for a thousand years and has accumulated considerable wealth. Although Sect Leader Lu squandered much of it, what remains is enough for an ordinary person to live on for several lifetimes.

The Sutra Repository is located to the left of the inner hall; it is a three-story wooden building.

Jiang Shi pushed open the door, and inside were bookshelves filled with stone slips.

He scanned the area with his spiritual sense and found Yellow-level, Profound-level, and some fragments of Earth-level cultivation techniques.

He picked out a few useful techniques and put them into his storage bracelet. He left the rest untouched. He didn't need these low-level techniques, so he could leave them to Biluo Valley or Lin Yanyi.

The alchemy room was located on the right side of the inner hall; it was a stone chamber. The door was locked, but he slammed it open with a single palm strike.

There were three shelves inside, with porcelain bottles on them. He opened one bottle and smelled it; it contained second-grade cultivation pills, and there were about twenty bottles left.

There were even more first-grade pills, piling up on two shelves. He collected all the second-grade pills, but kept half of the first-grade pills.

The ritual implements storehouse is located below the scripture pavilion, with its entrance on the floor covered by an iron plate.

Jiang Shi lifted the iron plate and jumped down.

It was pitch black inside, so he raised his hand and released a ball of flame for illumination.

There were more than a dozen magical artifacts on the shelf, most of them of medium quality, with only two of them of high quality.

One was a fire-elemental longsword, and the other was an earth-elemental shield. He took the two high-grade magical artifacts, picked out a few good-quality mid-grade magical artifacts, and kept the rest.

The medicinal herb garden is located behind the inner hall; it is a two-acre medicinal herb field.

The field is planted with various medicinal herbs, the oldest of which is a ginseng that is over a hundred years old and has already developed spirituality.

Jiang Shi carefully dug out the ginseng and put it in a jade box. He didn't touch the other medicinal herbs because they were too young.

The spirit stone storehouse is located below the alchemy room; it is also a basement.

Jiang Shi went down to take a look and saw more than a dozen bags of spirit stones on the shelf.

He opened the box and counted the stones. There were more than 8,000 low-grade spirit stones and only more than 200 mid-grade spirit stones.

He collected all the mid-grade spirit stones and half of the low-grade spirit stones.

After looting everything, Jiang Shi made another round of the inner hall. He took everything he could, but left the rest untouched.

He walked out of the inner hall, stood in the square, and took one last look at the mountain gate.

Then he rose into the air and left Qingyun Sect.

From then on, the Qingyun Sect no longer existed on Qingyun Mountain.
