"Form the Sword Array, besiege them."
A Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation Cultivator of the Lu Family called out, beginning the assault on the two Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
Each Foundation Establishnt Cultivator had to face the siege of eight or nine late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators.
Bang bang.
Boom boom boom.
Under the nurical siege, the two Foundation Establishnt Cultivators were quickly injured.
Whether it was the gray-robed Daoist or the two Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, they quickly fell into a disadvantage. If this continued for a while, the gray-robed Daoist and the two Foundation Establishnt Cultivators might perish under the siege.
However, at this mont, as a large number of Lu Family cultivators joined the siege, the number of cultivators operating the Mountain Protection Array greatly reduced, causing the power of the Mountain Protection Array to plumt repeatedly.
Under the command of the Array Master and continuous attacks, a breach appeared in the Mountain Protection Array again.
Another five Foundation Establishnt Cultivators killed their way in.
With the reinforcent of fresh troops, Lu Family cultivators fell into a disadvantage.
The invading cultivators continually attacked Purple Sun Mountain, damaging the terrain and mountain structure. With the destruction of so array foundations, the Mountain Protection Array wobbled and completely stopped.
Kill!
The remaining cultivators completely charged onto Purple Sun Mountain.
"Escape!"
Clan Leader Lu Tianming showed a flash of despair and shouted sternly, "Lu Family mbers, flee for your lives."
In fact, he didn’t need to say it, as so family mbers were already on the run.
"Enough, the old man is guilty."
"During the ti I was Clan Leader, the Lu Family faced annihilation. I have failed our ancestors."
As he spoke, a hint of madness flashed in his expression, "Fight to the death!"
He took out an elixir and swallowed it directly.
This elixir was called the Celestial Demon Dissolving Pill.
After taking the elixir, Lu Tianming’s Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishnt cultivation continuously increased, stepping into the Purple Mansion Realm.
However, at the sa ti, his essence blood, True Qi, and soul were burning intensely.
He could sustain it for at most thirty seconds, before his Qi and blood would be exhausted, and he would die.
So other Foundation Establishnt Elders also took the Celestial Demon Dissolving Pill, their cultivation rising rapidly, entering a desperate state.
Grand Elder Lu Tianyi smiled, ready to take the Celestial Demon Dissolving Pill to fight desperately.
But the Clan Leader struck his hand with a sword, causing the pill to fall to the ground, "Old Seventh, you cannot die, break through!"
Kill!
Lu Tianming flashed a hint of madness and charged at the gray-robed Daoist.
Kill!
The other Foundation Establishnt Elders also went crazy, charging at the other rogue cultivators.
As the Lu Family was on the brink of annihilation, the elders of the Lu Family erupted together, burning their lives to resist the enemy, buying ti for the family cultivators to escape.
...
"Escape!"
Darting in shape, Lu Xuanji fled with Ye Feixue towards the distance.
Not long ago, the Lu Family was still the overlord of Qingshui Commandery, with a Purple Mansion Ancestor seated, wielding great power.
But now, the Lu Family was on the verge of extinction, reduced to stray dogs.
Lu Family cultivators were dispersed in all directions, beginning to break out in different directions.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Harnessing the Wind Escape Technique, utilizing the power of the fierce wind, Lu Xuanji kept running.
By now, they were already three miles away, with great fires burning on Purple Sun Mountain, the slaughter continued, destroying everything.
Alas.
Sighing, Lu Xuanji began a life of escape with Ye Feixue.
Fortunately, speed was of the essence, for the sake of the surprise attack.
The cultivators attacking Purple Sun Mountain were mainly Foundation Establishnt and Purple Mansion cultivators, numbering only thirty-one.
While there were about over a thousand cultivators on Purple Sun Mountain.
Scatter and run, there was a high chance of escaping.
These more than a thousand clansn distracted the enemy’s attention, giving Lu Xuanji a chance to escape.
Just thinking about the fall of the Lu Family weighed heavily on the mind.
The Lu Family had fallen, many Lu Family cultivators would end up as loose cultivators.
Many cultivators had poor survival skills, and losing the protection of the clan, could likely beco cannon fodder for certain individuals or fall prey to demon beasts, with most endings bleak.
The life of a loose cultivator was unstable, and the mortality rate was too high.
...
Half an hour later, the battle ended.
On Purple Sun Mountain, the Mountain Protection Array completely collapsed, so crucial array foundations were damaged, and so buildings were severely damaged.
Bodies lay one after another on the ground, continuously, all of them were Lu Family cultivators.
Many cultivators’ bodies were incomplete and not intact.
The gray-robed Daoist stood on the mountain peak, breathing slightly, with a wound on his chest, bloodstains on his Daoist robe, breathing slightly, with an unstable aura, giving a sense of weakness.
Other rogue cultivators were also wandering around, continuing to finish off the wounded.
Many heavily injured Lu Family cultivators were being killed one after another.
"Big brother, we have killed five hundred and thirty-two Lu Family cultivators, including seven Foundation Establishnt cultivators, one hundred and twenty-five Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivators, seventy-two Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation, and various other cultivators. We also sustained heavy injuries, with three casualties." A cultivator reported.
The Lu Family had about fifteen hundred, with over a thousand stationed on Purple Sun Mountain, in this battle they killed over five hundred cultivators. But these five hundred were the elite of the Lu Family, most of whom were Foundation Establishnt cultivators, and late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators.
This battle left the Lu Family’s elite completely lost, with their Primordial Qi severely damaged.
"How were the spoils?"
The gray-robed Daoist asked.
"The Lu Family’s dicine Garden wasn’t damaged, the Spirit Rice in the Spirit Fields, and the elixirs and Spiritual Artifacts in the Mansion Vault were pretty much intact," the cultivator said, "The value of these Spirit dicines, Spirit Pills, and others amounts to at least 1.2 million Spirit Stones."
"Only a little over a million Spirit Stones, not much."
The gray-robed Daoist said.
"The Lu Family cultivators aren’t countryside landlords who hoard money, the Lu Family earns a lot but spends a lot too."
Cultivators are moonlight clans, they won’t store too many Spirit Stones.
Similarly, the Lu Family won’t store too many Spirit Stones.
"However, the Lu Family is truly wealthy. In the Lu Family’s Mansion Vault there are three million tons of White Sun Rice and thirty Jade Marrow Lingzhi, two of which are already mature, along with other Spirit dicines and more." The cultivator said, eyes filled with joy.
Cultivators live off food.
White Sun Rice is a top-grade Spirit Rice, only cultivators can grow it, with a yield of only two hundred jin per mu.
Qi Cultivation cultivators need to eat at least ten jin of White Sun Rice daily.
This also ans a Qi Cultivation cultivator needs to plant at least twenty mu of Spirit Rice a year to et their food needs.
White Sun Rice is a consumable, never in excess.
As for Jade Marrow Lingzhi, it’s the main material for refining Foundation Establishnt Pills. A single Jade Marrow Lingzhi as the main material, plus other herbs, can make three to nine Foundation Establishnt Pills.
The rogue cultivator said: "Jade Marrow Lingzhi is the main material for Foundation Establishnt Pills, and taking care of it is difficult; if not cared for properly, it might die. Only major clans have the ability to cultivate high-grade Spirit Plant Cultivators to grow Jade Marrow Lingzhi extensively. Based on the quantity and maturity of Jade Marrow Lingzhi, the Lu Family could open a furnace every twenty years to refine two batches of Foundation Establishnt Pills, partly for family cultivators and partly sold externally."
The gray-robed Daoist asked, "Can they be transplanted?"
"No, once Jade Marrow Lingzhi takes root sowhere, it can’t be transplanted. If transplanted, it wouldn’t adapt to new conditions and would die." The cultivator said.
"The Lu Family were smart to leave behind White Sun Rice and Jade Marrow Lingzhi for us."
The gray-robed Daoist sighed.
During the fierce battles and when the rogue cultivators were fighting, they subconsciously avoided so dicine Gardens and Mansion Vaults, to avoid property losses in battle;
But Lu Family cultivators were also clever, not destroying the dicine Gardens, Spirit Rice, or other properties, intentionally leaving them for the rogue cultivators.
The Lu Family didn’t destroy these, not because the cultivators were unaware, but to use these properties to attract the attention of the rogue cultivators, giving the family cultivators a chance to escape.
This was indeed the case; when the Mountain Gate was breached, so rogue cultivators were engaged in killing Lu Family Foundation Establishnt cultivators, late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators, while others took the opportunity to harvest the dicine Gardens, control the warehouses, libraries, etc.
The pursuit of the escaping Lu Family cultivators was sowhat relaxed.
