Chapter 172



172 Just don’t stand in my way when I’m getting a wife

Tian Zheng was from the sect leader’s line and one of the representatives of the new generation. He was the last disciple of Daoist Kongtong, Lu Qianchang. He was not even a hundred years old this year, but he was already in the fourth level of the initial enlightenment stage. He was a cultivator with double spiritual roots and a wood virtue spirit body.

In the entire Feiyun state, except for the ancestor of the Lu clan who had cheated, there were less than five people who clearly had a spiritual body. They were all initial enlightenment stage cultivators and each of them was extremely talented.

Among them, Tian Zheng was the most affected. With double spiritual roots and a wood spirit body, his talent was not the slightest bit weaker than an ordinary single spiritual root.

It was worth mentioning that when Lu chaoxi and Li Yanling got engaged, he was the one who had gone to Yuyan mountain with Zhao Zhengdong to cause trouble. At that time, he was only at the third level of the initial enlightenment stage. After not seeing him for a few years, he had broken through another level.

He was not even a hundred years old and was already in the fourth level of the initial enlightenment stage. He really had great talent.

However, no matter how talented he was, no matter how much the sect leader liked him, it was not right for him to order the disciples of the lower sects to harass the sect.

Of course, if it was during normal times, it would not be a big problem. The Huang clan’s influence did not exceed half a County, and the most powerful person was only in the early stage of the foundation building realm. So what if they were exterminated, let alone besieging the mountain Gate? What could he do to Daoist Kong Tong’s beloved disciple, Tian Zheng, who was also an initial enlightenment cultivator, just because of this?

It did not exist.

However, someone couldn’t help but pursue this matter.

The people who did this were naturally the hai family.

They even found an old cultivator from the Huang family and brought him to the discipline Hall to make Trouble Every Day.

Lu chaoxi was also one of the parties involved. The Lu family had also been attacked, and he had been there a few times.

This time, the sect leader’s faction was somewhat disheveled.

After that, no one knew what the hai family and the sect leader’s bloodline talked about, but in short, after more than a month, the matter was concluded.

Tian Zheng was punished. He was grounded for three years, and for five years, all cultivation benefits of the sect would be canceled.

To be honest, this punishment wasn’t too heavy.

To cultivators, three years of confinement was nothing. Even a closed-door cultivation session would take more than these few years. Removing the sect’s benefits was a bit hurtful, but Tian Zheng was Daoist Kong Tong’s beloved disciple, and he was obviously doing things for the sect this time, taking the blame. He definitely wouldn’t lack these cultivation resources.

All in all, it was a symbolic punishment.

Wei Wuhai and Huang Yi’s punishment was a bit more severe, but it was just that.

They were both Foundation establishment cultivators, and their status in the sect wasn’t low, especially Wei Wuhai, who was ninth-tier Foundation establishment. He could even be considered as one of the important figures in the sect leader’s line. In fact, there was even hope for him to achieve Qiming in the future. Even if he had been caught and leaked the secret under the God seeking talisman, the sect leader’s line would not abandon him.

And the reason why this matter was so ‘easily’ resolved was obviously because the sect leader and the hai family had reached some sort of agreement. Otherwise, the hai family would not have accepted such an agreement.

Lu chaoxi did not know the details of their discussion. However, based on the fact that the discipline Hall did not come looking for trouble after that, it was clear that Li Yanling had something to do with it.

The sect leader seemed to have given up.

This was normal.

Originally, their intention to cause trouble was mainly because they were ‘unwilling’. However, the Qingfeng sect was at its peak right now, and the internal struggles within the sect were not so intense that it could take a person’s life.

Lu Qianchang, the sect leader, would not fall out with hai Sande, who had been his senior brother for many years, just because of Li Yanling’s matter. He had hai Sande to support him internally and Lu Qing’s reputation on the outside. Under the Golden core stage, the hai family’s power was not weak, and the external core was in Li Yanling’s hands. Previously, they could only use the discipline Hall to summon Li Yanling to ‘question’ her and delay her from refining the external core.

In Lu chaoxi’s opinion, they were just making a last-ditch struggle.

Now, he had resigned himself to his fate.

However, he also tried to ask Li Yanling to go to the Lu clan to complete the final process. The reason he used was that the Lu clan was safer. The sect leader’s line didn’t seem to be planning to do anything now, but who could guarantee what would happen in the future?

After all, it was a matter of safety.

However, this time, not only hai Sande was against it, even Li Yanling had expressed her rejection.

Lu chaoxi was not a slow-witted person. He could vaguely sense that something was not quite right.

He had heard that sect leader Kong Tong didn’t object to Li Yanling reaching the Golden core stage. Kong Tong had always viewed the sect as one entity. The so-called ‘branch of the sect master’ was only what his subordinates called it. He himself might not have such thoughts. At the end of the day, he hoped that the cultivators of the sect would maintain the purity of their identity. Previously, he was unhappy because Li Yanling was going to marry into the Lu family. He didn’t want a future golden core Grand Elder of the sect to be the representative of the Lu family.

But now, the sect leader’s branch had admitted defeat and stopped looking for trouble. Was it just because of the incident in Pingan County?

Lu chaoxi felt that things might not be so simple.

He wanted to take it one step further.

He decided to look for Li Yanling to discuss the matter of their wedding.

He wasn’t worried about any unforeseen events.

Breaking off an engagement? What a joke. Did he really think that patriarch Lu Qing was not around?

He just wanted to confirm it, and at the same time, probe the situation to see if there were any changes within the sect.

Li Yanling was usually cultivating, so Lu chaoxi would not disturb her. However, cultivation always required all kinds of material support. She didn’t go into seclusion directly, but would come out once every one or two months.

“Lu lang.”

Hearing this form of address, Lu chaoxi felt more at ease.

It seemed that the Lu family’s efforts had not been in vain. Li Yanling was not an ungrateful person.

“Yan Ling, how’s the refinement of your external pill?”

Li Yanling seemed to be in a good mood. “It’s more than half done. I estimate that it will be better in a year. It’s been hard on you for the past two years, staying by my side.”

“It’s what I should do. You and I will be husband and wife in the future.”

“Yes.”

our marriage was supposed to be this year, ” Lu chaoxi said.

Lu Qing and hai Sande had come up with this plan after he had killed Zhao Zidan.

Li Yanling’s expression was a little awkward.

Lu chaoxi changed his tone and continued, ” however, this year is definitely not suitable. You can go to Yuyan mountain next year after you have completed your external elixir.

Li Yanling’s worry turned into joy and she replied, ” “Yes.”

after chatting about some other things, Li Yanling rested for a while before returning to her closed-door cultivation.

This time, she was prepared to go into seclusion for a year. Lu chaoxi would also stay in the sect for another year. Next year, the two of them would return to Yuyan mountain together.

Then, Lu chaoxi would become a man with a wife again!

As for what the sect leader and the hai family had discussed, Lu chaoxi no longer cared. He just wanted to know that they did not stand in his way when he was getting married.
