Chapter 169 Traitor(1/2)
Lu Qingluo finally left Xianlai Pavilion very sadly.
Ning Shaoyang felt guilty for no reason.
It seems that he is just an indifferent passerby who refuses to save himself.
Suddenly, I felt a little regretful. I shouldn't have agreed to send Lu Yue here in the first place.
This way you won't get caught up in this whirlpool.
It would have been nice if the cloud shuttle had been launched in time. I wouldn't have been able to see anything, and I wouldn't have been as uneasy as I am now.
Having seen these things, leaving like this is really something I can't do.
After Lu Qingluo left, Ning Shaoyang changed his clothes into the clothes of a Taihao Clan disciple.
There is nothing to do in this courtyard, except for practicing spells.
This is just a cultivating family in the secular world with limited background. Even if he practices the things in the "Book of Ten Thousand Demons", no one will see anything wrong with him.
He promised that Lu Yue would need to stay here for a period of time if he wanted to use his identity as a disciple of the Taihao Clan to frighten the Jiang family.
If the Jiang family didn't have the presence of the Jindan monks and good flying spiritual weapons, it would really not be that easy to get here.
No pursuers were seen from the Bloody Mountains, which proved that they actually did not have that kind of flying spiritual weapon.
Even if a disciple in the foundation-building realm runs with all his strength day and night, covering more than 30,000 miles will still take him almost half a month.
This means that he needs to stay here for at least half a month.
What he hopes most is that Lu Yue can recover from his injury in this half month.
But it seems difficult.
His hands and feet were restrained inexplicably, which made him somewhat depressed.
By dinner time, he was even more depressed.
Because it was the girl named Qing Luo who invited him to come for dinner.
Seeing the girl's eyes red from crying and asking him to go to dinner aggrievedly, Ning Shaoyang felt panicked in his heart, as if he had become a wicked person who refused to save her.
As a monk in the foundation-building realm, it doesn't matter whether he has dinner or not.
But for the Lu family, with such an honored guest there, and someone who wants to protect their family, it would be too rude to not prepare a meal.
There are thousands of people in the Lu family, and anyone can come and call him. But Ning Shaoyang felt very uneasy that this girl who had just learned that her father was dead came to call him.
The Lu family prepared a sumptuous dinner for Ning Shaoyang, but Lu Yue did not come. His physical condition was in such bad shape that he could not eat, and he did not even have the strength to sit and accompany him.
The person hosting this dinner was Lu Jian.
There is also another guest, the city lord of Yunjin City, named Ye Qiu, a monk in the late stage of foundation building.
The Lu family is just outside Yunjin City, but their sphere of influence also includes that city. In that city, at least half of the property belongs to the Lu family.
Although Ye Qiu is the city lord of Yunjin City, his strength cannot be compared with that of the Lu family, a cultivation family with golden elixir monks, so he can only be regarded as a puppet.
The Lu family asked him to come to the banquet this time. In fact, they had no other intention. They just wanted to send out two messages:
First, the Jiang family ignored morality and ambushed the Lu family’s Jindan ancestor and his party in the Bloody Mountains. Lu Yue and Jiang Qingshan both suffered losses.
Second, there is a Tahao disciple who stays in the Lu family to help the Lu family overcome difficulties.
The first message is to stand on the moral high ground, so as to prevent the Chiang family from being defeated.
In such a weak moment, they need to have a moral high ground to occupy, otherwise they will be divided up by various indignant cultivator families who unite and carve up their family under the banner of justice.
Just this is not enough.
The most important thing is the second message - the disciples of Tahao Clan support the Lu family.
Although Tahao Clan's disciples support the Lu family, it does not mean that Tahao Clan supports the Lu family, but the gap between the two is quite huge.
But with the reputation of being a disciple of Taihao Clan, at least in the western part of Cangming Continent, no one dares to offend him.
——No one dares to mess with them even if it is a dog coming out of Tahoe Gate.
Ye Qiu is just a casual cultivator, but he was able to become the lord of Yunjin City because he followed the path of Tahao Clan.
The western part of Cangming Continent belongs to the sphere of influence of Taihao Clan, and all city lords are appointed by Tahao Clan.
Ning Shaoyang appeared wearing the clothes of a Taihao Clan disciple, and Ye Qiu unconsciously became half shorter.
At such a young age, he has already reached Foundation Establishment Dzogchen. Needless to say, he must be an inner disciple of the Taihao Sect, and he is the kind of inner disciple who does well.
This kind of group is the ruler of the western part of Cangming Continent.
At this dinner, Ye Qiu on the one hand angrily condemned the Jiang family's shameless behavior, on the other hand he tried his best to flatter Ning Shaoyang.
"I have already interrogated the woman named Jiang. She has been married for decades and has given birth to several children, but what she is thinking about is how to destroy our Lu family and bring them to the Jiang family.
Benefit. She revealed the whereabouts of my ancestor to the Bloody Mountains this time, so that the Jiang family could prepare and set up an ambush. Except for my ancestor, none of the more than ten elites of my Lu family were spared.
of."
It was at the dinner party that Lu Jian talked about this matter with an angry look.
The woman named Jiang is Jiang Qingshan's granddaughter. She is actually his niece-in-law, named Jiang Qi, who married his nephew Lu Song.
Lu Song was the eldest son of Lu Yue's eldest son and was already in the late stage of foundation building. This time he also followed the team going to the Bloody Mountains. Of course, he also died in the ambush of the Jiang family.
"This woman is too vicious. She married into the Lu family. She is a member of the Lu family. Why would she do such a thing? She even tricked her own man to death. She is simply not human!"
Ye Qiu echoed.
It's really puzzling for a woman to do such a thing.
If it succeeds, it will indeed bring benefits to the family, but what benefits will it bring to yourself?
After having several children, it would be a bit too vicious to kill all of her husbands for the benefit of her mother's family.
Ning Shaoyang felt the same way.
Things like family affection were so unreliable that it gave him a shuddering feeling.
——Is there no trustworthy friendship in this world?
Ye Qiu then suggested: "We should call more comrades and let that woman confess this matter in front of everyone, so that everyone knows what kind of people the Jiang family is."
Lu Jian's brows twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "City Master Ye's suggestion was good, but at that time I was too angry. I felt that letting such a sly-hearted woman live a moment longer would be a crime, so I killed her with one knife.
Cut off her head."
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment and sighed: "What a pity, we are missing a sharp weapon."
Lu Jiandao: "It's such a pity."
In fact, he did not tell the truth to Ye Qiu.
Jiang Qi did reveal the whereabouts of the Lu family to the Jiang family, but she was not the only one who did this, but also her man, Lu Song.
The purpose of this is to make Lu Song the patriarch of the Lu family.
As long as Lu Yue and the group of people following him are successfully killed, and with the help of Jiang Qingshan, it will not be difficult for Lu Song to gain the power of the Lu family and become the patriarch of the Lu family.
What prompted this couple to have such an idea was that they had a son with good cultivation aptitudes. If he could become the patriarch of the Lu family, they would be able to direct the family's resources to this son, and maybe he could cultivate a golden elixir monk.
come out.
In the past, Lu Song was qualified to become the future clan leader, but later a candidate who was better than him appeared and he was removed.
In the Lu family, Lu Song's status was getting lower and lower, and he had fewer and fewer resources at his disposal, so he came up with this idea.
Don't doubt that there are no such people in the world. In fact, there are always many such people.
There are also thieves who are sellers, and there are also thieves who are traitors to the country. They are all out for their own interests and will not care whether their compatriots are harmed.
Lu Song was able to make such a decision without feeling resentful that his status in the family had plummeted.
Without Lu Song's participation, the Jiang family would not have the ability to know where the Lu family would go back.
In that vast mountain, there is no real road, and any place can become a road.
No one has the ability to know in advance where their way back is, because even they themselves don't know it before they return.
But with Lu Song's presence, it became much simpler.
That road was where Lu Song took his clan members because he suddenly picked up a treasure hunting route map and successfully deciphered where the places on the route map were.
And that place was where the Jiang family set up a killing array.
——When Lu Song led more than a dozen people from the clan to the killing array, their plans went very smoothly.
But after entering the killing array, Lu Song was the first to die.
After Jiang Qi was arrested, she didn't confess or say anything at first. It wasn't until she heard that Lu Song was also dead, or even the first one to die, that her whole body collapsed.
The couple wanted to rely on the Jiang family to control the Lu family, and the Jiang family wanted to use them to control the Lu family, not for them to control.
The first one to be killed was, of course, Lu Song.
If we don't kill this person, wouldn't it be terrible if this matter is exposed?
In grief and anger, Jiang Qi confessed all those things, and even expressed her willingness to expose the Jiang family's crimes in front of fellow practitioners in the cultivation world.
