Lu Qing followed Lu Mingchao and watched her kill people in Pingyao, while opening the system and checking the income just now.

[Two-Star Achievement: Kill Tsuki]

[Kill 5 Monks in total, reward 250 karma]

......

This reward is basically equivalent to the two two-star battle options that Lu Qing just exchanged for without spending money.

Of course, the spent redemption is itself a resource. Now that the war is over, he can't just enter the conquest mode to farm the battle exchange items, and the remaining five have to be used sparingly as much as possible.

However, if the Lu clan goes to war with the Zhao clan, will it activate the conquest mode for the second time?

Lu Qing is a little uncertain now.

Before, Lu Qing had also talked to several principals of the family about the topic of the Zhao family. At that time, he and his children had basically reached an agreement on the time to start the war, and they had to delay it as much as possible.

The Lu family now has a big project to do, the spiritual vein upgrade of Yuyan Mountain makes the Lu family have to pay a thousand spirit stones every year, and at the same time, before the spiritual vein upgrade is completed, Chaoxi's cultivation is also a thousand spirit stones every year.

The fixed expenditure of these two thousand spirit stones is quite stressful. Counting other daily expenses, the Lu family had to take out more than 4,000 spirit stones every year during this special period of ten years.

This expense cannot be saved at all.

If it weren't for Lu Chaoxi's own decision not to pay for the past ten years, according to the treatment given to Qiming monks by ordinary families, it would be the expenditure of 1,000 spirit stones.

Relatively speaking, the annual income is only 3,005.

Although the Lu family has developed quite rapidly over the years, it is inevitable that the foundation is thin. If it weren't for the 18,000 spirit stones brought back from the battlefield, I am afraid that I would not be able to carry it at all.

In this case, it would be unwise to start a war with the Zhao family.

War is a gold-swallowing beast, although there is no saying in this world that 'when a cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold', but the truth is the same.

This is especially true when monks fight. Spells and pills are all consumables, and the key prices are expensive, and if one side prepares a few talismans, the situation will be completely different.

And even if it's a magic weapon, although it can be used for a long time, it really fights, and if it is broken, it will be rotten.

Pension after the death of a monk, reward after victory...... It's all money.

Look at the battle of Northern Xinjiang, the coalition army mobilized tens of thousands of monks to fight against the white ghosts in two weeks, and fought for more than a year, it is estimated that the spirit stones spent by the four major forces led by Qingfengmen are millions.

If the Lu family starts a war with the Zhao family now, the family's financial pressure will be very great.

The best choice is to drag it out for ten years, and when the spiritual vein upgrade is completed, it will be difficult for Lu Mingchao to enlighten. At that time, the Lu family will enlighten and wrestle with the Zhao family, the pressure will be much lighter, and the chances of winning will be much greater.

But man does not act entirely rationally.

This incident was caused by the greed of the Zhao family, the resentment of the three Qi cultivators of the Lu family, and then the situation was further escalated under Zhao Pingliang's identity and the ridicule of not giving in, and Ming Chao was killed until Zhao Pingliang died.

After killing Zhao Pingliang, the whole thing was already bad to a certain nature.

Of the seven foundation-building monks of the Zhao family, three died in the battle of Northern Xinjiang, and there were only four left, and the most promising and powerful one died at the hands of the Lu family in Pingyao County.

The news came back to the Zhao family, and this battle was bound to start.

Since we are going to fight anyway, there is no need to have any appeasement thoughts. The Zhao clan stationed fourteen monks in Pingyao County all year round, and all of them were killed.

These monks of the Zhao family are not mentally prepared. When they heard and sensed the movement of the county government, they became alert one by one, but they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't run away because of this.

When the Ming Dynasty is in front of him, there is no way to escape.

She first killed the three Zhao family monks in the county government, along with five scattered cultivators and more than 30 servants who worked for the Lu family.

Then he harnessed the flying sword and went to the mansion in the county where the artificial spirit vein was opened, and the Zhao Mansion was here.

Her Shuiyun horse was seriously injured on the spot by Zhao Pingliang's sword pill, and she was already dying at the end of the battle, but fortunately, she still had a spare flying sword in her hand.

After arriving at the Zhao Mansion, the Ming Dynasty continued to kill.

The spiritual power she has now reserves is actually less than thirty percent of what she was in her heyday. But there was still no big problem in dealing with a group of Qi cultivators who had no formation and were suddenly attacked.

In the whole Pingyao County, the most magnificent place is the Zhao Mansion. It covers a large area, and there are currently seven Qi cultivators of the Zhao family, fifteen scattered cultivators who follow the orders of the Zhao family, and hundreds of servants of the Zhao family.

Lu Mingchao directly took out her Gathering Cloud Turning Gu Cup, converted a large area of poisonous mist, and swayed it. Those hundred or so mortals died not long after they came into contact with the poisonous mist. Even those who were relatively weak in the Qi refining period couldn't last long under the poisonous mist.

A young Qi cultivator jumped out and scolded as he ran out: "Where did the thief come from? Such a bold man dares to go to the Zhao Mansion to spread wildness?

Lu Mingchao recognized the identity of this person, he was Zhao Qing'an, the son of Zhao Pingsong. She even vaguely remembered that Lu Mingsi was injured when he was selling horses, and it was this guy who was behind it.

With a cold snort, the Cuifeng Ten Qing Sword carried a blue light, and in an instant, the sword light flashed back and forth a few times, and Zhao Qingan was divided into seven or eight pieces of meat, and even the divine soul was also annihilated.

A few Qi cultivators who had the ability to do so and had not died in the poisonous fog were not afraid when they saw this scene? They couldn't fly, so they could only show their magical powers and find a way to escape.

But how can you outrun Lu Mingchao?

The Cuifeng Ten Clear Swords and the Yin Separation Rope have become the two major means of killing the enemy.

When dealing with these Qi cultivators, it is not just about controlling the effect, it is easy to take away the magic weapon, and then wrap it around the neck, and with the gesture of Ming Chao, it can lift people into the air. The Qi cultivator who was hung up struggled for a while, and soon lost his breath.

In this way, in less than an hour, the Ming Dynasty killed all the movable things in the Zhao Mansion, and not a single one was let go.

Subsequently, she patronized several other places in the city, and arrested the other three people of the Zhao family who were still alive one by one and killed them all.

By the time dawn came, the Zhao family monk died. In addition to these fourteen people, even some loose cultivators and slaves who have been mixed with the Zhao family all the year round, Ming Chao saw it and slaughtered them together.

In one night, there were at least more than 150 people who died at the hands of Lu Mingchao, of which nearly 40 monks combined, and the rest were ordinary servants in the Zhao Mansion.

In terms of monks alone, there are at least nearly 100 monks living here in Pingyao County all year round, and nearly half of them have been killed.

Those who are still alive are basically ordinary casual cultivators who usually get closer to the Lu family, or who don't participate in the competition between the two families at all.

Now, they are extremely glad that their position is not wrong.

At the same time, this day was called 'Pingyao Blood Night' by the monks of Pingyao, and Lu Mingchao also had the nickname of 'Blood Girl' after this night.

......

The next morning, Lu Tinghua took Mings and Mei Ting into the city, and after knowing what happened last night, he reacted quickly in addition to being shocked.

On the one hand, the Zhao family's treasury was washed first, and more than 700 spirit stones were found in this wave.

In addition, the Lu family also came down ten monks from Yuyan Mountain, occupying a key position in the city, at least ensuring the operation of the town.

At the same time, the Lu family also launched a pacification of the remaining loose cultivators under Pingyao.

There's a lot going on and time is tight. Lu Chaoxi heard about his sister's killing in Pingyao on the mountain, and quickly woke up Chaohe. Lu Chaohe could only end the retreat in a hurry, went down the mountain to Pingyao County, and began to arrange the formation.

This is pure preparation for war.

When he was setting up the magic circle, when he saw his sister, there was some blame in his tone.

He felt that Lu Mingchao's methods last night were a little too cruel, and he just killed the monks, and there was no need to slaughter mortals, even if they were the servants of the Zhao family.

Ming Dynasty also recognized.

She was really red-eyed last night.

After dawn, she regretted it a little. Those mortal slaves are indeed somewhat innocent.

But after thinking about it, they were also doing things for the Zhao family, and when the Zhao family was powerful, these Zhao servants were also showing off their might in Pingyao. Since they have enjoyed the dividends, when the Zhao family falls, the funeral may be the price they have to pay.

Chaohe was also helpless, and just said: "This matter will be very bad for your reputation." ”

"It doesn't matter. Ming Chao said, "I'll just kill the people who should be killed in the future." ”

"Alas......"

......

Such a big thing happened, and the whole city knew about it that night, and it must have been impossible to hide. Ten days later, basically the entire Anling County was a little well-informed, and everyone knew what happened in Pingyao.

Everyone's eyes were on the Zhao family.

Zhao inevitably reacted.

In Anling County, they invited families from various counties, well-known cultivators, and even some people from other counties to hold a general meeting.

At the meeting, they announced what Lu Mingchao had done in Pingyao County ten days earlier, adding fuel and vinegar to her portrayal as a murderous maniac, and then swearing revenge.

This approach is very fair and tricky.

But those who have a heart can see that there is a great suspicion of splashing dirty water. At every turn, words such as 'too many bamboos to write', 'full of evil', and 'rivers of blood' are used, as if Lu Mingchao slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in the county......

It seems that if Zhao Pingliang killed Lu Mingchao and Lu Xueting on the spot, he would not completely uproot the Lu family's forces in Pingyao overnight. ”

That's what many people think in their hearts.

However, no one jumped out to sing the reverse tune of the Zhao family at this time. Even, many of their allies in Anling County, who were in charge of the venue, were quite inflammatory.

In the end, outside the city gate of Anling County, hundreds of Zhao family monks, as well as the three Zhuji who were still alive, gathered at the city gate under the leadership of the patriarch Qiming monk Zhao Zhengke, ready to set off.

An old man with a good appearance and a white beard stood in front of them.

"Senior Brother Qiu, do you have any advice?" Zhao Zhengke walked up and asked.

"Senior Brother Zhao, if you make such a big move, I'm afraid the sect won't like it. "Qiu Wanyong is here to persuade.

Zhao Zhengke heard Qiu Wanyong's persuasion, and laughed angrily: "Then what does Senior Brother Qiu mean, is it to tell me to forget the Zhao family?"

"That's not what it means......"

"No need to say it again!" Zhao Zhengke interrupted sharply, "The Lu family is in Pingyao County, killing my clansmen and insulting my lintel, this revenge is not avenged, why can my Zhao family gain a foothold in this Anling?"

Qiu Wanyong was said so unceremoniously, and it was difficult for his attitude to continue to be gentle: "What kind of thing will the sect call the shots, act privately, and provoke a fight, what will it look like?"

"Is it our Zhao family that started the fight? The bones of fifteen members of my Zhao family have not been recovered! Let me stop? Then let Lu Mingchao and the Lu family send fourteen monks to tie their hands to my Ping'an County."

"Don't let me know it! The incident of that day was that your Zhao family betrayed righteousness first, and Zhao Pingliang, a person who had killed the Lu clan with his own hands, made provocative remarks. It's also wrong for the Lu clan to deal too drastically, but it's not your turn to settle everything privately!"

"Senior Brother Qiu, do you have to stop me today?"

"Yes. Qiu Wanyong said, "If you think about it, knock me to the ground here!"

Zhao Zhengke stared at him, but in the end he didn't make a move.

Qiu Wanyong is not as strong as him, if he does it, he is at least eighty percent sure that he can defeat Qiu Wanyong without hurting his life.

But this matter is a bit too big, the Zhao family started to overturn the sect's Qiming monk, what is this concept?

Zhao Zhengke hated it in his heart, this Qiu Wanyong!

But what can be? Qiu Wanyong's attitude is too resolute,

"Today's events, I have written them down! I will report to the sect, you wait to be punished!"

Zhao Zhengke didn't dare to make a move, so he could only leave a cruel sentence and then lead people to withdraw.

Qiu Wanyong breathed a sigh of relief.

Why didn't he panic in his heart?

Qiu Wanyong is the person in charge of Qingfengmen in Anling County, and he doesn't care too much about things. Ordinary things, the people below will naturally deal with them, and the Qingfeng Sect will say the same thing in the entire Feiyun Prefecture, and there is no one who will not think about it and provoke the prestige of the sect.

But today's incident is so big that he has to come forward.

There are nearly 30 Qiming monks in Feiyun Prefecture in total, and in the battle of Northern Xinjiang a year ago, although there was more Lu Chaoxi, five people were killed, and one-sixth of the Qiming monks in the whole state were killed or wounded.

Monk Qiming is the backbone of the cultivation community in the whole state, and Qingfengmen does not want anyone to die again, even if it is not the enlightenment of the sect.

In Qingfengmen's view, all the families in Feiyun Prefecture are their vassals and part of their own power. For example, the Zhao family and the Lu family, if the sect really has something, they can also be recruited.

They fight each other, no matter who wins or loses, for Qingfengmen, they don't want to see it, which is tantamount to a civil war.

If another monk were to die, it would be even more of a blood loss.

Qiu Wanyong, as the person in charge of the sect in Anling County, naturally had the responsibility to prevent the two sides from going to war.

But if it were the other two families, he Qiu Wanyong was a monk of the fourth layer of Qiming, and he still represented the Qingfeng Sect, which family would dare to be disobedient?

But it's the Zhao family......

Zhao Zhengke himself is the sixth layer of Qiming, and he is even stronger than Qiu Wanyong. Moreover, the Zhao family also has a lot of power in the sect.

The Zhao family has always been polite to Qiu Wanyong, but they will not be like other families, just say anything.

Today, he is also out of the way.

Otherwise, if Zhao Zhengke really wants to take the Zhao family monks out of the nest and go to Pingyao to fight a life-and-death battle with the Lu family, then he is on the sect, I am afraid that he will suffer a hard blow.

Now, no matter what he says, he stopped Zhao Zhengke, and he has done his best to fulfill his responsibilities.

The rest of the things depend on how the sect handles them, and there is not much he can manage.

"The Lu family...... Zhao Jia...... Hmph, none of them are worry-free!" Qiu Wanyong complained in his heart.

Back at the county hall, he summoned a small sword, wrote a letter, waved his hand, threw it out, and flew south.

This is a flying sword specially used to transmit messages, which can cross 100,000 miles in a day, and in this way, it is good to get in touch with the sect as soon as possible.

......

Qingfeng Gate, Heliang Mountain.

It has not been two days since Zhang Shiman returned to the sect, and Lu Wenen was waiting for something.

Both of them sat upright on the futon, and it was not until a short scream came from the sky that the two of them were moved.

A moment later, the door to the ashram opened in front of me, and a young-looking woman in a navy blue ornate palace robe stepped out.

"Master, but there's a letter?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Qiu stopped Zhao Zhengke outside Anling City. ”

"That's fine. ”

Lu Wenen also kowtowed deeply on the side: "Thank you, Master!"

"You're welcome. The woman looked at Lu Wenen and said, "It's just that your family's Lu Ming Dynasty acted too harshly, and it was her first move, and the subsequent sect will also make a decision on this." It's inconvenient for me to meddle in this kind of thing, so I'll see when the time comes. ”

The Ming Dynasty belonged to Wen En's great-grandfather's generation, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only kowtow again.

"I'll go first. As soon as the woman in the palace dress raised her hand, an auspicious cloud rose from under her feet, supported her body, and flew away into the distance.

After she walked away, Lu Wenen kowtowed to Zhang Shiman again: "This time, I would like to thank Master for helping." ”

Zhang Shiman shook his head and said, "I didn't do much, I just reported the matter." This matter involves Hai Lao Zu and Zhao Lao Zu, let alone me, even if it is my master, I don't have much right to speak. ”

Lu Wenen was silent.

The woman in the palace dress just now, named Li Yanling, was born in casual cultivation, but when she was a teenager, she was found to be a single spirit root, and was admitted to the sect by Hai Sande, and was taught by Hai Sande himself. Now he is one hundred and eighty years old, but he is already a monk of the ninth layer of enlightenment.

She is also Zhang Shiman's master, that is, Lu Wenen's ancestor.

Lu Wenen heard that ten years ago, Li Yanling had tried to tie the golden pill, but failed, and injured some vitality, and only healed the injury this year.

But even after her failures, she is still a promising figure. Li Yanling is still young, she has at least a hundred years to live, and she can impact once or twice.

On the bloody night of Pingyao, Wen En was still on the Jade Smoke Mountain, making preparations before the launch. After the news came back, the Lu family immediately made a decision and sent Wen En back to the sect first.

On the way to Anling City to take the flying boat, Uncle Ming Ling, who had just built the foundation, personally sent him here. After dressing up in disguise, he just entered the county town of Anling, and then took the fastest flying boat and rushed to the sect.

At this time, the sect had already received news from Pingyao.

But Venn felt that there was still something that could be worked on.

So, he found his master Zhang Shiman and asked for help.

Unable to bear the disciple's request, Zhang Shiman wrote a letter to her own master, Li Yanling.

She didn't really have much hope at all, and she didn't plan to wade into this muddy water herself.

But who knows, her master actually came to Heliang Mountain in person, told her about it, and passed a flying sword to her face, saying that it was given to Qiu Wanyong in Anling County, explaining the matter and the attitude of the sect.

Now, the sect has not yet made a decision on this matter, but there is a premise: the two families, especially Lu Chaoxi and Zhao Zhengke, cannot fight, at least not for the time being.

It was also this attitude of the sect, as well as Li Yanling's flying sword, that made Qiu Wanyong stop the Zhao family's team outside the gate of Anling City at the expense of himself.

Zhang Shiman was very surprised at first. But in the long time she had been waiting for news outside the door, she slowly figured out the doorway.

Looking at the well-behaved and silent disciple, Zhang Shiman hesitated for a moment, but decided to continue to reveal a little:

"Wen En, you have to understand that even within the sect, not everyone has one mind. ”

"I, Qingfeng Sect, from the outer disciples to the inner door, to the true transmission, up to the Jindan down to the ordinary Qi practice, also have their own different positions. ”

"Some people are from scattered cultivators, some people are from the family, some people rely on the teacher's inheritance and personal efforts, some people have the support of the family, and some are also monks from the family, some people are enemies like your Lu and Zhao families, and there are also families who have ......been good for generations."

"Just look at the lineage of Zhao Laozu, many sect monks of the Zhao family, as well as many families that are good with the Zhao family, will worship in this lineage. It's just that as Zhao Laozu gets older, his longevity will come to an end, and the decline will gradually be revealed. Hai Laozu was born in Raochang County, Beihai County, and the Hai family is also a prestigious family that has been inherited for hundreds of years in Beihai, and now the momentum is getting bigger and bigger. ”

"You and I are masters and apprentices, although we don't get much entangled with various things in the sect on weekdays, you must know that we are also monks of the Hai Ancestor lineage. ”

"There is also a lineage, which is a lineage inherited by the head of the Kongtong Daoist, which is mainly based on loose cultivation and master-apprentice inheritance, and there are few cultivation families. ”

"The Zhao Ancestor and the Hai Ancestor are not very opposed, but because of the different Xiuzhen families they represent, there is some competition. ”

"This time, I'm afraid it's these things again...... Alas, I am most annoyed by the teacher on weekdays, and when I move to this Heliang Mountain, I can't avoid it!"

Lu Wenen has been in the door for more than ten years, and he has heard some of them, but he is definitely not as detailed as Zhang Shiman's point.

Hearing this, he could only say to Zhang Shiman: "The apprentice is not filial, which makes the master embarrassed." ”

"Forget it. Zhang Shiman still couldn't hide the irritability on his face, "I am the descendant of the Hai Ancestor lineage, and I can't escape next time if I escape this time, so let's do it first." It's really hard to say how the follow-up Pingyao will develop. ”

This chapter is 6,000 words, and the regular 4,000 word updates are all in it, and the extra 2,000 is counted as a supplement, and there are still 23 chapters owed.

It's definitely gone at seven o'clock, and we'll see if I can write another chapter in the evening!
