Lu ZhiShan walked towards the facade of Qing Xu hall and stopped. He told the YuYan dragon behind him: “You can go play by yourself.”
The light green dragon nodded while crawling away. Then he flew into the sky and disappeared in the clouds.
Xi Fang had put on a smile and welcomed Lu ZhiShan as well as sixteen other young disciples wearing cultivator robes into the hall. He watched a disciple behind Lu ZhiShan and said with a smile: “Natural born, sophisticated temperament with extraordinary talent and elegance, are you elder Lu’s youngest son, Lu YunZhuo? I heard that you entered Foundation Building level when you were 18 and are a young prodigy.”
The young disciple took a step forward: “This disciple greets sect head Xi.”
Lu ZhiShan lightly said: “Because he also has wood spiritual root, he is somewhat useful so I had him accompany me to come out to see the world and gain experience.”
Xi Fang said while smiling: “He must have seen and heard many things since he was little. He has the demeanor of a cultivator and is greatly different from normal disciples.” He then said in a quiet voice to Zhu Jin: “Send elder Lu and the fellow cultivators to rest.”
Lu ZhiShan slowly said: “No need. I’ll first go take a look at fellow cultivator Zhao and the disciples.”
Xi Fang didn’t decline and said in a warm tone: “Then I will thank elder Lu. Peak master Zhao and the disciples are currently in the back hall. Please follow me elder Lu.”
When they reached the back hall, they saw that the disciples’ wrists were chained with black iron. Their hair was astray. Their face was extremely pale, and there were some red spots that appeared. The area around their wrists was injured which showed that they must have desperately struggled. However, they were now unconscious.
Lu ZhiShan walked up to them and sent out spiritual energy into a few disciple’s Dan Tian[1] to investigate for a long time. He also observed their complexions and said: “When did fellow cultivator Zhao start showing symptoms? When did the disciples start showing symptoms?”
Zhu Jin told him about the whole incident.
Shao Jun: “Did they get poisoned with ‘Missing Soul,’ or are they under the effects of demonic arts?”
Lu ZhiShan regulated his breathing and said: “Peak master Zhao and the disciples are all under demonic arts.”
A long sigh sounded in the back hall. It was unknown who it came from.
Xi Fang slowly said: “Is there still a way to save them?”
Lu ZhiShan raised his head and looked out the window for a long time before he finally said in a quiet voice: “The demonic cultivator’s cultivation is high. I’m afraid that the demonic cultivator is already at Nascent Soul stage. Especially peak master Zhao, he is currently emerged in chaos and madness. I’m afraid that even until death he won’t be able to regain reason.”
The back hall fell into a heavy silence.
Lu ChangQing: “Does elder Lu mean that more than seventy disciples of Tian Heng peak can still be saved?”
Lu ZhiShan lightly stroked his beard and said: “The heart demon is born from the heart. The stronger the heart demon is, the harder it is to escape. It’s unknown what fellow cultivator Zhao encountered when he was young, but he has a heart demon that was stored in his heart since a long time ago. At this point, it is hard to clean it out. These seventy some disciples, on the other hand, don’t have very strong heart demons because they are all at the beginning stages of Qi Refining and have a shallow amount of experiences. There is still a chance to clean out the demon and let them regain reason.”
Xi Fang slightly frowned and immediately said: “Since it’s like this, we will have to trouble elder Lu to first save these disciples.”
Lu ZhiShan nodded. He grabbed a disciple’s wrist and sent in some spiritual energy. He focused and concentrated for a long time with sweat appearing on his forehead before he finally opened his eyes and with compressed lips looked into the distance.
Xi Fang and the others were originally quietly waiting off to the side, but when they saw that he was done, they asked: “Did it help?”
Lu ZhiShan put down the disciple’s wrist. He calmly stood up and said: “I lack ability. There is no method.”
Lu ChangQing knitted his brows tightly: “There is no method. What does that mean?”
Lu ZhiShan: “If this was the ordinary heart demon, then it could be eliminated using〈Clear Heart Melting Qi Method〉. They could regain their reason. It’s a pity that the method used on them is a little ancient so〈Clear Heart Melting Qi Method〉has no effect at all.”
Everyone was terrified and in a daze.
Lu ZhiShan frowned: “〈Clear Heart Melting Qi Method〉was the method that I spent my whole life learning. Even if a Golden Core cultivator falls into chaos, I can still save them……If even this is useless, I have no way to save them even if I stay here……”
Once he talked to this point, he couldn’t help but frown. It seemed like he was rather vexed.
The atmosphere in the back hall was a little chaotic.
Xi Fang slowly said: “If even elder Lu has no way, then if this demonic cultivator once again makes a move, the whole Zhu Feng country will no longer have a peaceful day. I’m afraid we’ll fall into the midst of ten thousand calamities with no way out.”
Lu ZhiShan was silent for a short while before he slowly said: “Everything happens in a cycle. All lives meet calamities. This has been the case for the past ten million years. This is heaven’s will. I’m afraid that it is impossible to resist……”
After he finished talking, Lu ZhiShan sighed and said to the disciples following him: “Let’s go! Sect head Xi does not need to send me out. It’s better to think of some countermeasures.”
Xi Fang and the peak masters fell into silence. They watched Lu ZhiShan leading the disciples out of the back hall. Right when Xi Fang started to talk, they suddenly heard the sound of a sword.
Shao Jun knitted his eyebrows: “Did another person go crazy?”
Xi Fang’s face darkened. A rush of wind had passed by. He and the peak masters left Qing Xu hall and saw Lu ZhiShan’s blue robe floating in the air. There were already a few people lying on the ground, but there were still some people with red eyes yelling and attacking Lu ZhiShan non-stop.
More than a dozen people had become crazy. They were all the disciples brought by Lu ZhiShan.
Lu ZhiShan’s expression was livid as he hit the last person unconscious. He coldly propped up an unconscious youth without a word.
The youth that was propped up by him was delicate and pretty. Surprisingly, it was Lu ZhiShan’s son, Lu YuZhuo.
Most of Qing Xu Sword sect’s disciples had already left, but there were still one hundred people in the surrounding. They were terrified while they watched. Wen Jing and Jun YanZhi were also still in the vicinity. Wen Jing knew what would happen soon. He secretly glanced at Jun YanZhi. His gaze couldn’t help but contain some yearning which he hastily covered up.
Xi Fang and the peak masters silently flew down from the sky.
Lu ChangQing coldly laughed: “Now even Gu Jing sect wasn’t let off.”
Lu ZhiShan lowered his head and watched his son with his face drained of color. His hands were slightly shaking.
After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards Xi Fang: “Fellow cultivators, please follow me!”
