The pavilion had been cleaned, and Zuixianyuan had returned to tranquility.
Su Muyue stood there, her expression indifferent, as if recalling what had just happened.
“What is the young lady thinking about?” an old man approached and couldn't help but ask.
“I’m thinking about Lu Changsheng!”
“Is there anything wrong with him?” the old man inquired.
Su Muyue said, “Elder Qi, what do you think of him?”
The old man pondered for a long time, but only had one sentence.
“He is a fop!”
“You think so too?”
“Leaving aside today’s events, who in the entire Cangyun Sect doesn’t know? I used to think he was hiding something, and I even secretly followed him, but all he did was drink tea, sleep, or wander around, hardly ever doing anything serious!”
The old man spoke of these things, which he had discovered through years of constant observation.
Moreover, on the corridor right in front, there was a special magic array. Those who walked through it would be sensed, and their cultivation would be revealed.
Lu Changsheng had come so many times, and it wasn't always the same.
From Qi Refining ninth layer a few years ago, to Spirit Gathering first layer, second layer, and finally reaching Spirit Gathering third layer recently.
Not to mention Personal Disciples, he was even inferior to most Inner Sect Disciples of the Cangyun Sect.
Su Muyue, however, said, “I always feel that this person is not simple, very interesting!”
The old man said nothing, only reminding her, “It’s fine for the young lady to be interested, as long as you don’t forget the main objective. The Cangyun Diagram must be obtained!”
“I know!”
Su Muyue nodded.
At the same time, Lu Changsheng quietly watched the Core Formation cultivators.
Originally, no one spoke, but after a while, Shi Feng was carried into the courtyard.
Seeing him in such a state, the cultivators frowned.
One of them said, “Carry him away to recuperate from his injuries!”
“Yes!”
Watching Shi Feng leave, someone spoke, “This Lu Changsheng really is… unique!”
He didn't know how to describe what had just happened.
It was clearly a drama of two young men fighting over a woman, and normally, it would involve a physical confrontation.
The result was indeed a confrontation, but it was a group of people ganging up on Shi Feng.
“Originally, we planned to beat up Lu Changsheng to draw out Zhou Qingyu and test his depth, but we didn’t expect him to call people for a group beating!”
“It’s not surprising, we were inconsiderate!”
“Why?”
“Lu Changsheng’s cultivation is only at Spirit Gathering third layer. Not fighting Shi Feng shows he’s not foolish, and what kind of integrity could a person like him have? How could he fight himself!”
“True!”
Listening to this, Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow slightly, muttering to himself, “What kind of person am I?”
Then the three exchanged glances, and one said, “Alright, we’ll test Zhou Qingyu later. The main objective is urgent now!”
“Mm!”
“The patrol shift in Cangyun City changed today. Someone will only come after they return to Cangyun Sect, so we have half an hour to act!”
“That should be enough. This time, the Ning family only brought one Core Formation cultivator. I’ll distract him, and you seize the opportunity to act!”
The cultivators spoke.
Lu Changsheng, however, became curious. So these people were targeting the Ning family, and his provocation was just incidental?
“There’s only one chance. Tomorrow, they are going to Qingyun Peak, and then there will be no opportunity. After I distract the person later, you will kill the two Ning family siblings. If they are killed in Cangyun City, the Ning family will certainly not let it go!”
“At that time, Cangyun Sect will be in chaos. With the Ning family’s help, we will have a chance to completely eradicate them!”
Hiss!
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng was surprised.
He didn’t expect these people to be planning such a scheme.
Ning Yuxin came to Cangyun Sect to go to Qingyun Peak. If her siblings died in Cangyun City, the Sect would definitely be implicated.
If someone then fanned the flames and provoked a conflict between the Ning family and the Cangyun Sect, it would be a huge problem.
“Are their intentions so malicious?”
Lu Changsheng also didn’t expect to encounter such an event.
Originally, who they wanted to kill had nothing to do with him.
But once the Ning family siblings were killed and Cangyun Sect fell into chaos, that would affect him.
If there was no Sect protection, what would happen?
They were completely smashing his rice bowl!
Subsequently, one of them set off, heading towards Zuixianyuan.
They even knew the Cangyun Sect’s shift changes clearly, and when Ning Yuxin was going to Qingyun Peak. It seemed they had been meticulously planning.
Soon, movement came from a distance. Two figures, one after another, left Zuixianyuan and headed straight out of the city.
They didn’t want to alert anyone and attract the Cangyun Sect Elders.
Seeing the plan succeed, the two Core Formation masters were about to move.
But just as they rose, a figure appeared from the sky, slowly descending.
When they saw him, a young man was in the Void Realm, dressed in white, unstained by dust, and with his hands behind his back, he landed in front of the two.
“Lu Changsheng!”
The two exclaimed, surprised.
Lu Changsheng stood in front and smiled, “How did my Cangyun Sect offend you all, that you wish to harm my Sect to such an extent?”
“You heard?”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
The two immediately became wary, their gazes sweeping around, and their Divine Thought also spreading.
They originally thought their plan had been exposed and they were surrounded, but they found no one else except the person in front of them.
“Only Lu Changsheng, no need to be afraid!”
One person spoke.
The other said, “If you hadn’t appeared, perhaps you could have lived, but you insisted on seeking death yourself!”
“Why waste words with him? Kill him!”
As that person spoke, his hand moved, and magic power surged. He formed a Sword Qi hand seal, intending to finish it, not putting Lu Changsheng in his eyes at all.
Lu Changsheng watched as they were about to act, frowning and saying, “Fighting two at once is indeed a bit difficult, but I can try!”
“Try?”
“You still want to deal with us?”
The two couldn't help but laugh aloud. This was even more ridiculous than a joke.
As they spoke, they already began to act.
But just as the Sword Qi hand seal approached, a power inexplicably surged, directly shattering the attack.
“What’s going on?”
The person who attacked frowned, and before he could react, Lu Changsheng raised his hand, and a Sword Qi materialized, sweeping through the Void Realm, instantly severing his neck.
Bang!
The figure fell, and the remaining person’s eyes were filled with horror.
“Core Formation, how is this possible…”
The old man looked on, disbelieving when he felt that cultivation.
The young man in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen, yet he had Core Formation cultivation, and that aura was terrifying, far above theirs.
What Cang Province young prodigies, Little Sword Immortal Zhou Qingyu, in front of this young man, they were all nothing…
Then the old man turned and used a 遁術 to leave.
In any case, just feeling that aura, he knew he absolutely could not contend with it.
However, as Lu Changsheng took a step, his figure appeared in mid-air like an illusion, blocking his path.
At this moment, without a word, he raised his hand, and magic power materialized, instantly extinguishing his life force.
The old man died in disbelief. It was only at this moment that he realized that the most terrifying thing about the Cangyun Sect was not the Sect, nor Zhou Qingyu, but this young man in front of him!
Lu Changsheng looked at the two corpses, pondered for a moment, then formed a fire seal in his hand, burning them cleanly until only ashes remained.
Then he waved his sleeve, stirring up dust and scattering it in all directions, leaving no trace before turning to leave.
However, as he looked towards the direction of the city outskirts, he still pondered for a moment, finally lightly tapping his fingertip, and a spiritual light shone into the sky.
That was the Cangyun Sect’s distress signal.
