CHAPTER 531: CHAPTER 522 VENTING ANGER FOR MY SON (SECOND UPDATE, SEEKING SUBSCRIPTION)

Watching Lu Fan put away some treasures, Lu Xuanji said, "Fan’Er, seeing you’re safe and sound, I’ll be leaving now!"

Lu Fan asked, "Father, won’t you stay a few more days?"

"I’ve been away from home for decades now, I miss home a bit!" Lu Xuanji said, "I also don’t know how your mother and a few concubines are doing? The current situation isn’t good, and Chu Country still needs me!"

"Then your child won’t keep you, Father!" Lu Fan said, "Take care on your way, Father!"

"Be careful while you’re in Yue Country too!"

Lu Xuanji said.

After a few more moments of admonishment, Lu Xuanji disappeared.

Watching his father disappear, Lu Fan couldn’t hold it in anymore, and spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

The previously rosy complexion turned pale once again.

His aura was waning, no longer the strength it once was, becoming weak.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After a few coughs, Lu Fan’s complexion changed, looking a lot better.

"Husband, if we seek help from Father, we could easily resolve our current predicament!" At this moment, an extraordinarily beautiful woman came out, it was Murong Xue, "Father is an unparalleled giant, once suppressed and killed a half-step Divinity Transformation, and is renowned in Yue Country!"

"These small matters, let’s not trouble Father!" Lu Fan said, "We can’t rely on Father for everything."

Murong Xue said, "The Wang Family and Zheng Family are pressuring our Lu Family aggressively. If we don’t fight back, they’ll get even more opportunistic during our plight!"

Lu Fan said, "Xue, we should appropriately give up some interests, abandon places like Peach Grove Mountain and Sunset Ridge, and other eight mining veins. We should give up some outer territories as well. If our strength is inferior, we need to admit defeat. If we keep dragging on, it’ll still be our Lu Family that suffers!"

Murong Xue said, "At this point, that seems to be the only way. But from now on, life won’t be easy for our Lu Family!"

"If it’s not easy, then cultivate more, increase our strength, and then take back everything we’ve lost!" Lu Fan said.

After a moment of conversation, Lu Fan went back to recuperate his injuries.

...

"My son is hurt!"

Lu Xuanji disappeared but didn’t leave Yue Country.

During the conversation just now, he noticed that his son Lu Fan was injured, seriously injured.

He originally wanted to ask something, but held back.

Lu Fan didn’t have great aptitude, in his youth he only had Five Spirit Roots; he spent a lot of resources to cultivate him to the Golden Core Realm, the resources spent could have cultivated five Golden Core Cultivators. Only because Lu Fan is his son, he didn’t mind the cost of cultivation. The excessive resources spent brought about many controversies in the Lu Family.

Though he quickly quelled them, Lu Fan became extremely melancholy and sensitive, and had a very strong sense of self-respect.

When encountering certain situations, he mostly handled them himself and rarely sought help from his father.

"Disciple, let’s not leave Yue Country temporarily, but instead inquire about some matters!" Lu Xuanji said, his steps quick and disappearing swiftly.

On the road, he encountered a Purple Mansion Cultivator, immediately descending.

Exuding a trace of terrifying aura.

The Purple Mansion Cultivator shivered and quickly said, "Senior, what brings you here?"

"I want to know, what has been happening recently with the Lu Family?" Lu Xuanji asked.

The Purple Mansion Cultivator was puzzled, "Which Lu Family?"

"The Lu Family of Wolong Mountain!" Lu Xuanji said, "They settled here a hundred years ago in Yue Country."

"Oh, that Lu Family!"

The Purple Mansion Cultivator said, "That Lu Family’s situation is very bad!"

"Bad, how bad?" Lu Xuanji asked.

"This clan is an outsider, after arriving here, they were ostracized by local cultivators, and numerous battles and bloodshed occurred, resulting in considerable losses and deaths, and it’s said the Clan Leader was also injured!" The Purple Mansion Cultivator explained, narrating the events that occurred to the Lu Family of Wolong Mountain over the past century.

The narration was very detailed.

Lu Xuanji listened attentively, a hint of melancholy flickered in his eyes, along with a sliver of killing intent.

For the past century, Lu Fan’s life hasn’t been easy.

A hundred years ago, Lu Fan led part of the Lu Family cultivators and settled in Yue Country. Initially, they spent large amounts of Spirit Stones to purchase land in Yue Country, began laying down Spirit Veins, establishing arrays, planting Spirit Rice and Spirit Medicine, and developing the economy, etc.

At first, things were calm.

But soon, cultivators came knocking to provoke.

Conflicts were constant, battles were unending.

In the initial stages, the provocation of the cultivators were all defeated by Lu Family cultivators, and they suffered heavy losses.

Considering face, Lu Family didn’t strike to kill, only injuring without killing.

But such behavior was seen as "weak and easy to bully" by some Demon Cultivators, who began scheming against the Lu Family.

After the Sea Race’s invasion, the Old Ancestor of Six Desires summoned cultivators to resist the Sea Race invasion, also summoning Lu Family cultivators. The Lu Family was assigned to dangerous positions, suffering heavy losses.

Afterward, compensation funds were delayed under various excuses, saying there weren’t enough Spirit Stones, promising payment ten years later.

In the end, ten years after ten years went by, several ten years passed without compensation.

Besides, due to territorial disputes, a sword fighting competition began, where certain people played tricks, causing Lu Family to lose miserably.

Moments later, the Purple Mansion Cultivator left.

Lu Xuanji’s eyes gleamed with a trace of killing intent, his son was bullied, how could the father not avenge him?

"The Wang Family and Zheng Family are both Nascent Soul Clans, long-standing clans in Yue Country. The Wang Family has three Nascent Soul powerhouses, and the Zheng Family has five; their influence is significant. Yet I shouldn’t bully the small with the big, should I take action against the three half-step Divinity Transformations behind them?"

Lu Xuanji pondered.

Thinking about how to resolve the issue next.

These two clans are like little brats; going straight to their doorstep and giving them a few slaps would be too much face.

The best approach is to target the forces behind them.

Yue Country is mostly ruled by Demon Cultivation.

They fear power but don’t respect virtue.

Only by stepping forward and giving them a few slaps on the face will they restrain themselves a bit.

"Disciple, we won’t return to Yue Country temporarily; instead, we want to challenge some cultivators... lest some people don’t recognize the power of my True Monarch Xuanji!" Lu Xuanji said with a faint smile.

Li Qingwei remained silent, knowing someone was about to have a rough time.

...

Yue Country, White Bone Mountain Range.

Among the mountains, many piles of white bones are mixed in the soil, forming a sprawling Great Mountain over a hundred miles long.

These bones include giant bones, demon beast bones, phoenix bones, golden crow bones, and many others buried here, unending. When torrential rains pour down, new bones are exposed again.

Legend has it, this was once an ancient battlefield, where countless cultivators fought and countless cultivators perished, turning the path of skeletons into the White Bone Mountain Range.

Later, a Demon Cultivator arrived here, cultivated the White Bone Secret Technique, and established the White Bone Demon Sect.

As time passed, the White Bone Demon Sect gradually became a renowned Great Demon Sect in Yue Country.

Every once in a while, many mortals and cultivators with poor Spirit Roots climb here to join the White Bone Demon Sect and become a member.

Countless cultivators fall, becoming the bones here; but a few rise, becoming top-tier Great Demons.
