Chapter 141 Seizing the City
three days later.
Lu Lingyun led the team to set off.
She found more than twenty people in total.
Many of them are Yu Xiao’s acquaintances.
When Yu Xiao boarded the spirit boat, he saw a gray-haired man. This man was none other than Fu Qingfeng. He was completely different from the man he was ten or twenty years ago.
Yu Xiao stepped forward and greeted him: "Brother Fu, you are here too."
Fu Qingfeng laughed and said, "Hahaha, Brother Yu is here too!"
Yu Xiao: "Hey, Senior Brother Fu has made a breakthrough? Congratulations!"
Fu Qingfeng is no ordinary person. He has just recently broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. This casual cultivator who was not taken seriously and was not very noticeable when he joined the sect is now a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.
Not only that.
He joined the Red Bamboo Dojo.
Now he is one of Lu Lingyun's important subordinates.
Fu Qingfeng smiled and said, "The cultivation I gained at the cost of my life is nothing. Brother Yu has been working steadily and steadily, and now he is a second-level alchemist. How much more respected is he than me?"
This is true.
Yu Xiaoming's cultivation level is only at the peak of the fifth level of Qi training.
But the news that he possesses quasi-second-level alchemy ability has spread.
He is one of the sect's examples of late bloomers. After all, in terms of value and importance, he exceeds a 40-50 year old Qi Refiner at the seventh level.
"Brother Yu, Brother Fu!"
At this time, two more people came over here.
One of them was a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator who looked to be in his forties or fifties with a simple and honest appearance, while the other was a beautiful woman with a charming temperament.
Yu Xiao did not recognize this male cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage, but he was an acquaintance of this beautiful woman with a charming temperament whom he had known for almost twenty years.
It’s Wang Yao.
At the Ascension Conference.
Yu Xiao rescued Wang Yao and Luo Xiaoshan.
I also learned about the basic structure of the sect from Wang Yao.
But after they got married, the two sides rarely interacted with each other and were not very familiar with each other.
Yu Xiao had heard some gossip about Wang Yao from Luo Xiaoshan. Ten years ago, Wang Yao had become a Taoist couple with a deacon, and the man next to her at this moment must be this person.
"Friend Daoist Yu, long time no see!"
Wang Yao introduced: "This is my husband Chang Ming."
Yu Xiao immediately bowed and saluted: "Hello, Senior Brother Chang!"
Chang Ming looks to be in his forties or fifties, but he is actually over sixty years old and his cultivation has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.
He was one of the elites of the Hongzhu Dojo. Because of his honest character and his sense of duty, he was chosen by Lu Lingyun to accompany him, and Wang Yao was naturally brought along as his Taoist partner.
Although Wang Yao's cultivation level is not as high as Chang Ming's, he has made good progress in the past ten or twenty years, and is currently at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Yu Xiao greeted several people one by one. In addition to these friends or acquaintances with whom he had some connections, there were several well-known figures among the monks accompanying him this time.
For example, Li Xuanqing, who was in the same class and entered the school with the first place.
This person has now reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. He was accepted as a disciple by an elder ten years ago, but he did not set up his own school. Instead, he chose to continue following Lu Lingyun.
Not surprisingly.
Except for Lu Lingyun and her senior sister Li Shuiyue.
Among the cultivators on this trip, Li Xuanqing is the most powerful.
"We are about to arrive at Luoxia City!" Lu Lingyun gathered everyone and said, "Although we have a legitimate reason and the support of Qinglan Valley, we still cannot underestimate the forces in Luoxia City!"
Li Xuanqing said: "Please give me your orders, Senior Sister Lu!"
"Luoxia City is holding a meeting to select the new city lord. Senior Sister Shuiyue and I will go directly to the meeting site to seize the position of city lord!"
Lu Lingyun paused and continued, "Junior Brother Li, you lead everyone to seize the formation and guards that control Luoxia City, stabilize the situation, and control the entire city."
Li Xuanqing nodded: "Don't worry!"
Other than that.
There are still some people left.
Among them were Fu Qingfeng, Chang Ming, and two other late Qi Refining cultivators.
Lu Lingyun asked them to stay outside Luoxia City and be responsible for the response.
Participants in this action.
At least they have reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Yu Xiao was the only visible fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator. He was not positioned as a combatant from the beginning, so there was naturally no need for him to follow Lu Lingyun and Li Xuanqing into the city.
Therefore, he stayed and waited for news with Fu Qingfeng, Chang Ming and other four late Qi Refining cultivators.
Arrangements completed.
The treasure ship arrived at Luoxia City.
Yu Xiao saw the city from afar, only to find that it was completely different from ordinary cities.
Secular cities are generally built in places with convenient transportation, flat terrain and livable environment.
Luoxia City was built among the mountains, surrounded by mountains for hundreds of miles, in a place called Fengming Mountains.
Fengming Mountain not only has beautiful scenery, but also abundant spiritual energy. It has the foundation and potential to nurture a medium-to-large-scale immortal cultivation sect.
but.
For thousands of years.
Fengming Mountain was occupied by various immortal cultivation families, and eventually eight immortal cultivation cities and dozens of towns and markets of all sizes were gradually formed.
Luoxia City is one of the eight cities of Fengming.
The other seven major immortal cultivation cities are also controlled by immortal cultivation families, or are backed by medium or large sects, and the forces are very complex.
"go!"
Lu Lingyun and Li Xuanqing each led a team of people, used flying magic tools, transformed into light and flew towards Luoxia City!
Yu Xiao, Fu Qingfeng, Chang Ming and others docked the treasure ship outside Luoxia City, waiting for news from Lu Lingyun and others.
in this process.
Yu Xiao was bored.
He took the initiative to make friends with the other two late Qi Refining cultivators present, because these two cultivators not only had strong cultivation bases, but also possessed skilled skills.
One of them was named Huang Wei, who looked to be in his sixties, with a sturdy and strong build. Not only was he in the late stage of Qi Refining, but he was also a high-level weapon refiner.
some time in the future.
If Yu Xiao stayed in Luoxia City.
You can ask him for help with some equipment refining work.
One of them was named Xu Xiangming, who was short and plain-looking, and looked to be in his seventies. He had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining and was also a high-level formation master.
A formation.
It is quite difficult.
Yu Xiao has always been interested in this, but he does not have enough energy and time to build a good relationship with Xu Xiangming so that he can help him create or modify the formation in the future.
Although the two were mid-level deacons of the Weapon Refining Pavilion and the Formation Pavilion of Qinglan Valley, they did not dare to look down on Yu Xiao, their junior fellow apprentice.
After all, although Yu Xiao’s cultivation level was not high, his alchemy skills had already reached the second level, which was much more valuable than their first level!
A few pleasantries were exchanged.
The few of them became familiar with each other.
About half an hour later, several loud noises were heard from the direction of Luoxia City, and the power released by spells and magic weapons was heard.
"Did they start a fight?" Fu Qingfeng couldn't help but ask, "This handover really won't be so easy to accomplish."
This is normal.
Although he has the support of Qinglan Valley.
But if Lu Lingyun wants to take over Luoxia City, she has to show strong enough strength, so it is inevitable that she will have to show off her muscles.
at this time.
Yu Xiao felt something was wrong.
"There are more than ten auras approaching us." He immediately said, "Be careful, these people may have bad intentions!"
Yu Xiao’s cultivation level is not high.
But he showed extremely high levels of perception.
The others did not suspect anything and were on guard immediately. The next moment, fourteen monks wearing Luoxia City robes appeared.
The first four.
They are all in the late stage of Qi Refining.
The other ten were in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
"Get them!"
This group of monks neither introduced themselves nor explained their motives, but chose to take action at the first opportunity.
The four people in the late Qi Refining stage took action first, each using spears, flying knives, giant hammers, iron chains and other magical weapons to attack Qinglan Valley.
"Is this the cultivator from Luoxia City? The local cultivators really don't know manners!"
Fu Qingfeng took out the long sword from the storage bag, and instantly burst out purple lightning. Then he held the hilt of the sword with his hand and burst out a huge sword energy. The sword energy blocked the flying knife and the giant hammer, and at the same time released a large amount of purple lightning, instantly covering more than a dozen enemy cultivators.
at the same time.
Huang Wei and Xu Xiangming also took action.
The former took out a mirror, released light from the mirror, and stopped the flying chain on the spot.
The latter released several talismans to form a light shield to block the incoming spears.
"You dare to attack Qinglan Valley? You are courting death!"
Chang Ming took the lead in launching a counterattack at this time. The magic weapon he sacrificed was a longbow. He used his magic power to activate the longbow and shoot an arrow from a distance of a hundred feet.
The four Luoxia City monks joined forces to launch the Air Shield Technique, instantly forming a giant shield in front of them to offset Chang Ming's attack.
"kill!"
At a command from the cultivator from Luoxia City, fourteen cultivators attacked the treasure ship at the same time. Because of their large numbers, Qinglan Valley soon fell into a disadvantage!
"Brother Yu, be careful. Don't take any action. Let us deal with these guys!"
Yu Xiao is the person with the lowest cultivation level in Qinglan Valley, so Fu Qingfeng and others would not ask him to participate in the battle.
however.
The enemy cultivators are numerous and powerful.
There are four people in the late foundation building stage.
One of them is even at the eighth level of Qi training.
The pressure faced by the monks of Qinglan Valley was not small, not to mention that the other side had ten monks in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
At this moment, they rushed forward.
Fu Qingfeng and his men couldn't stop them at all.
The monks from Qinglan Valley soon found themselves in a tough battle.
At this time, a seventh-level Qi-refining cultivator from Luoxia City took advantage of the opportunity and rushed towards the treasure ship, and his target was Yu Xiao, who looked the weakest.
It seems that the monks from Luoxia City did not intend to kill him. They probably just wanted to capture Yu Xiao and others alive so as to threaten Lu Lingyun or negotiate with him.
"not good!"
Fu Qingfeng and the others' faces turned pale when they saw Yu Xiao in danger, but they were already unable to take care of themselves and had no time to lend a helping hand.
But at this moment.
Something that no one expected happened.
When Yu Xiao faced a sudden attack from a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage, he did not panic, but instead quickly cast a talisman.
This symbol.
Rise in the storm.
Transformed into a giant ruler.
"Talisman? Not good!"
The Luoxia City cultivator's face changed drastically when he saw this. He had never expected that this inconspicuous Qinglan Valley cultivator actually had such a precious treasure.
Yu Xiao used the magic power of no more than the sixth level of Qi Refining to activate the Demon-Suppressing Ruler Talisman. Even so, it was enough to unleash a full-strength attack that was no less than that of a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of Qi Refining!
boom!
There was a loud bang.
The Demon-Suppressing Ruler hit the target.
The protective light on the body of the Luoxia City monk was shattered in an instant. The terrifying power knocked him hundreds of meters away on the spot, causing him to be seriously injured and unconscious.
"here you go!"
The other cultivators in Qinglan Valley were all delighted to see this. The cultivator from Luoxia City who was seriously injured by Yu Xiao unexpectedly was the one with the highest cultivation level among the four cultivators, at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
There are three remaining Qi Refining Level 7 and ten remaining Qi Refining Middle Stage masters. Although they are still difficult to deal with, the threat and pressure they pose are immediately reduced.
The two sides fought for about ten minutes.
At this time, a white light came, and Li Xuanqing arrived with several Qinglan Valley monks. He glanced at the Luoxia City monks and sneered.
"The new mayor of Luoxia City has just been appointed. Why don't you surrender quickly?"
While talking.
Li Xuanqing held up a token.
This token is the token of the Lord of Luoxia City, and can be used to control the large and small formations and restrictions inside and outside Luoxia City.
When faced with this situation.
Although the monks of Luoxia City looked grim, they finally chose to surrender without any surprise.
A few hours later.
Yu Xiao entered Luoxia City.
He met Lu Lingyun in the City Lord's Mansion. She had already sat on the City Lord's throne, and the four major families in Luoxia City had already submitted to her.
"So fast?"
Yu Xiao was also very surprised.
In an immortal cultivation city with a history of nearly a thousand years, the forces are intertwined and extremely complicated. How easy is it to seize power?
however.
It took less than a day.
Lu Lingyun sat on the city lord's throne.
Although there was the presence of a true foundation-building cultivator behind the scenes, as well as the intimidation of Qinglan Valley, the largest sect nearby, Lu Lingyun's methods were certainly not simple.
When everyone arrived.
A disheveled figure was escorted into the hall.
This is a middle-aged man wearing fancy clothes, with disheveled hair and a dishevelled face.
When he saw the arrogant Lu Lingyun, his eyes flashed with fear, horror, struggle, and pleading.
"I'm your biological father, you can't do this to me!"
"Biological father?"
Lu Lingyun said calmly, "When the Song family was in the most critical period, it was my mother who helped you to get through the difficulties, but you turned against me and forced my mother to death in order to form an alliance with the aristocratic family. When you were trying to wipe out the family, why didn't you remember that you still had this identity?"
The middle-aged man said, "I was wrong in doing this, but it was the order of the ancestor of my family. I couldn't resist at the time... Now you have got everything you wanted, please leave us a way to live."
Lu Lingyun sneered: "A way to survive? I can give you a way to survive."
Two Qinglan Valley disciples controlled him.
“Stop it, Ling Yun, Ling Yun, you can’t do this to me… ah!”
Li Shuiyue shot an ice needle through the air, which instantly pierced through his dantian and directly destroyed his qi sea, causing all his cultivation to be wasted.
"Drive him out of Fengming Mountain!"
"The rest of the Song family members who are adults will be executed, and the rest will have their spiritual roots and cultivation abolished!"
Lu Lingyun ordered the dethronement and exile of his disabled biological father, and then brutally executed the entire direct line of the Song family. He watched the execution process personally without even blinking an eye.
After finishing personal matters.
"From today on, I am the new city lord of Luoxia City, and Luoxia City will become a city of immortal cultivation under the protection of Qinglan Valley. Anyone who dares to disobey me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Lu Lingyun stood up and glanced at everyone: "I can assure you that as long as the families obey, their business will not be affected but will grow even bigger!"
The power of many families.
At this moment, they all looked at each other.
The people with the highest cultivation level among these families are only at the great perfection of Qi Refining, and those with such cultivation level are usually the ancestors of the family.
Lu Lingyun has also reached the great perfection of Qi training. Not only is she very young, she also has a large force backing her up, and there are also foundation-building cultivators around her.
Who dares to dissent?
"The city lord is above!"
"We all wish to submit!"
"From now on, I will follow the orders of City Lord Lu!"
"..."
Before Yu Xiao entered the city, Lu Lingyun and senior sister Li Shuiyue had already conducted a thorough investigation of the top leaders of Luoxia City and killed at least dozens of potential troublemakers and threats.
Among them was Lu Lingyun's half-brother, and she also ruthlessly disabled and exiled her own father.
throughout the process.
She was very calm.
Hit one faction and pull the other.
Not completely filled with hatred.
Yu Xiao only then realized that this old friend from many years ago, the seemingly gentle woman at the time, was actually a very resourceful person.
After this battle, Lu Lingyun firmly sat on the throne of the City Lord of Luoxia City, and she relied on the cultivation of Qinglan Valley and the support of Luoxia City.
Build the foundation within ten years.
It's a done deal.
If he can complete the foundation building within ten years, his future prospects will be limitless. He will most likely become one of the top elders in Qinglan Valley, and may even have the chance to compete for the next generation of headmaster candidate.
And that's it.
Yu Xiao settled down in Luoxia City and will spend some time in this city in the future. He can finally concentrate on preparing for his breakthrough to a higher realm!
