During this period, he received warm hospitality from Shui Ni, which made Lu Zhong feel like he was home.
After returning to Ganquan Island, life is back on track.
The Fang family's matter cannot be resolved in a short while.
Simply, Lu Zhong threw it aside.
Block it, block it.
The Fang family did not do this without any cost, and it even required a small amount of blood. Otherwise, how could those family workshops cooperate? Now it depends on which side can't hold on first.
Judging from the current situation, the situation is obviously more favorable to Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
"Just be afraid, the Fang family can't sit still..." Lu Zhong thought of this and felt that it was necessary to take precautions.
The only person who is important to him in the Changchun Territory is Yu Feng'er. Now both of them live on Ganquan Island. If the Fang family is thinking of taking action, there is no chance that they will besiege Ganquan Island.
This is not without precedent.
The world of immortality has always respected strength.
As long as the beheading tactic is implemented and the high-level monks at the top are eliminated, no matter how powerful the force is, it will collapse. There are many similar cases recorded in ancient and modern classics.
In view of this, Lu Zhong decided to prepare several escape routes for himself.
To avoid being really blocked on the island.
So the next time, he began to dig tunnels. With the fossil-to-mud technique, it was very easy to dig tunnels, even faster than using magic weapons.
In less than a month, the escape tunnel took shape.
In the spirit of caution, many false exits were deliberately set up.
"It's a pity that the progress of the Underworld Continent is not going smoothly. Otherwise, if I had mastered the teleportation array, I wouldn't have bothered to go to such trouble. I would just set up a dozen teleportation arrays and keep them safe and teach them to miss them time and time again."
Lu Zhong thought sadly.
The Chengde Chamber of Commerce's exploration in the direction of Mingyuan Continent has always been stumbling.
According to this situation, I am afraid that I will have to wait for the Bihai Sect to develop and provide strong manpower support in the future to achieve the goal he set and find and mine the Mingyan purple iron ore.
Immediately I stopped thinking about it.
Affected by the monster hunting order, the supply of monster materials on the market has greatly increased.
Thanks to this, the practice of Barbarian Ancestor's Heaven-Swallowing Technique has become much smoother. People no longer need to wait for materials. As long as the body can support it, one can continue practicing.
Recently, Lu Zhong has focused his main energy on this.
…
Not much happened in the following days.
The influence of the Demon Hunting Order no longer expanded, and the beast tide showed signs of retreating for the first time. It was obvious that after such a long war of attrition, the demon cultivator in the form of the Great Forest Sea in the north could no longer hold on.
The intuitive manifestation of this is that the number of good deeds generated by the camp has begun to decline.
This made Lu Zhong sigh greatly.
Finally, they had the opportunity to exchange for the third-level elixirs from Changchun Valley, and before they even emptied their inventory, the war ended just like that.
It's a pity, but the situation must return to peace.
During this period, the Fang family launched several attacks, but none had much effect. Instead, due to Lu Zhong's counterattack, they suffered heavy losses every time, and the blockade gradually began to loosen.
At this rate, things will be over soon.
…
It’s spring time again.
Lu Zhong was enjoying the rain in the atrium.
The drizzle of rain falling from the sky makes people feel inexplicably soothed. With a sip of good spiritual tea, all the depression of practicing for a long time disappears.
Suddenly, I felt a sinking feeling in my arms, but it was Yu Feng'er who was here.
"Husband, do you think I can really get pregnant?" she said sadly, with a slight self-blame on her expression.
During the past period of time, Yu Feng'er tried all the secret recipes and techniques given by Shui Ni, but every day, there was no movement in her stomach, so that she couldn't help but think wildly.
"Maybe it's because your cultivation level is high... It's okay. God rewards hard work. If we work hard, we will make it one day!" Lu Zhong comforted her, but he couldn't help but think in his heart.
I haven't been able to get pregnant, is it my problem?
But.
He also used his subtle eyesight to see that there was nothing wrong with his body.
How strange!
Monks, especially high-level monks, have trouble conceiving, which is almost a common problem in the world of immortality. The reason is that while the immortal spiritual energy changes the physique, it also seems to have side effects.
This is reflected in the difficulty of giving birth to offspring.
This is also the reason why those Jindan Yuanying ancestors often get extremely angry and even lose their minds when a biological descendant dies.
Some things can only be understood through personal experience.
"Yeah." Yu Feng'er responded in a low voice.
It's just that she looked worried, obviously she hadn't gotten over the matter yet, and it was hard for Lu Zhong to persuade her after seeing her. Sometimes, trying to persuade her too much would have the opposite effect.
After a while, the maid brought the food.
The rice is made from Qiongyu Lingmi, a high-grade spiritual rice that sells for one kilogram of Bai Lingshi. The spiritual energy contained in it is extremely pure. Eating it by Jindan Master has the effect of improving his cultivation.
It's just that the effect is slightly worse.
The dishes are all spiritual food, carefully prepared by spiritual chefs.
Lu Zhong thought this was another ordinary meal.
Unexpectedly.
Sudden changes occur!
Five streams of light suddenly appeared and immediately used their respective magic weapons to bombard the Ganquan Island formation.
"Dongdongdong" sounded five times in succession.
When he saw the five people in the sky and found that the leader was Fang Xiaoyun, Lu Zhong's expression suddenly changed.
The worst has happened!
As expected, the Fang family was unwilling to fail and actually gathered people to resolve the conflict by force. After all, they only needed to kill Lu Zhong and capture the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
Then all their previous investment will be repaid and they will make a lot of money.
"You all evacuate!" Lu Zhongchong ordered the maids.
Immediately, he took Yu Feng'er to Ganquan Cave, put away the Guishui Phoenix Wing Stove and other items, and then entered the core of the spiritual vein. Next to it was the escape passage he had prepared.
Seeing that Yu Feng'er was pretending to be calm, she obviously didn't want to worry him. He couldn't help but touched her head, smiled and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, we will be far away by the time they destroy the formation."
As for the loss, it can be recovered later.
Since the Fang family has completely broken up, Lu Zhong naturally doesn't have to hold back the bottom line.
Half an hour later.
Fang Xiaoyun led four people and rushed here.
When he saw those escape passages, he didn't know that he had failed, but his expression didn't change much. As if he had expected it, he took out a red talisman from his storage bag.
This is his biggest reliance on this trip.
The red talisman is called "Mysterious Tracing Talisman". It is a fourth-level secret talisman. Its value can no longer be measured by spiritual stones. Its effect is similar to that of Tianji Technique. It can roughly locate the target's location, and then paired with the third-level "Spirit Chasing Talisman"
, which can achieve the effect of accurate tracking.
But when the mysterious trace talisman was activated, there was no feedback at all.
"How is that possible?" Fang Xiaoyun looked surprised.
When the four people around him saw this, they all looked at each other, obviously not expecting this outcome.
"This Lu Zhong, does he have something that can shield the secrets of heaven?" Someone reacted, but this kind of thing is extremely rare and rare, and logically it should not appear on the body of a pill-forming monk.
"Uncle, why not change the goal..." Fang Hongshang leaned over and suggested.
As far as the Fang family knows, Yu Feng'er, the president of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, as Lu Zhong's Taoist companion, should be on Ganquan Island. Since he can't see her now, he must be with Lu Zhong.
Changing the target of the mysterious tracing talisman might be able to track the two of them.
"That makes sense!"
Fang Xiaoyun nodded and accepted it, and immediately shot a magic formula at the red talisman. The mysterious trace talisman did respond, but his face was not very good-looking. It was affected by the failure of the first trace trace. This time, although the trace trace was successful, it failed.
The pointing range is amazingly large.
A rough estimate is that it must be at least three to five thousand miles.
This means that the five people must search separately, otherwise there is a high probability that they will be lost.
what to do?
Years of experience told him that splitting up troops at this time was a taboo.
Fang Xiaoyun is well aware of Lu Zhong's strength. Although he is not as strong as the real people of the sect, he is definitely an outstanding existence among all the real people who practice Jindan.
Except for him, the other four people met Lu Zhong alone, and most of them ended up defeated.
If one is not good, he may even perish.
But Fang Xiaoyun was unwilling to give up.
The reason is also very simple, the sunk cost is too high!
In order to plan the Chengde Chamber of Commerce this time, the Fang family's investment and losses have reached nearly one million spiritual stones. If they cannot be replenished as planned, I am afraid that the Fang family will fall into internal and external difficulties.
In the end, it can only return to dust.
Thinking of this result, Fang Xiaoyun couldn't help but tremble in his heart even if he was in the late stage of pill formation. Once this happened, he would really have no hope of forming a baby!
He worked hard for hundreds of years just to conceive a baby.
Fang Xiaoyun decided to take a gamble and took out a spare spirit-chasing talisman and a defensive magic weapon that he used as a trump card, and then handed them to Fang Hongshang, who was in the middle stage of pill formation, and said:
"Hongshang, take the ancestors of the Chu family and the ancestors of the Zhang family together. Don't be impulsive when you meet Lu Zhong. The three of you will do your best to hold him back!"
"Uncle, Hongshang understands!" Fang Hongshang took the things and nodded heavily.
The two people who were named also said yes.
Their two families have long since suffered the same loss as the Fang family. If the Fang family falls, the Chu and Zhang families will not be much better, and they may even be unable to maintain the status of the Jindan family.
Immediately, the five people divided into two waves.
At the same time, Lu Zhong, who was thousands of miles away, broke out in a cold sweat.
Looking at the starlight slowly dissipating on the surface of his body, he guessed that the other party had used Tianji Technique, or something with similar effects.
Immediately afterwards, I thought of the possibility of Yu Feng'er being located.
It is not difficult to think of this. After all, the probability of the two of them being together is almost 100%. As long as the Fang family is not confused, it is impossible not to change their goals.
trouble!
Even so, he did not abandon Yu Feng'er.
Instead, he accelerated his escape speed and flew towards the blue sea island group.
This flight lasted one night.
One early morning, when the sky just turned white, Lu Zhong was keenly aware that a light spot suddenly lit up on the horizon, expanded rapidly, and rushed towards this direction at great speed.
His heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect that he would be caught up after running for so long.
"Such a fast escape can only be achieved by Fang Xiaoyun, who is in the late stage of Danjie..." Lu Zhong doesn't have much confidence in fighting over the next level, especially since his opponent's background is not simple.
He is the ancestor of the Fang family, the number one cultivating family in the Western Region of Changchun.
The more important reason is that Fang Xiaoyun also carries a Jiedan.
With one against two, defeat is inevitable.
So without any hesitation, he took Yu Feng'er and transformed into a rainbow light.
The chase and escape lasted three days and three nights.
Fang Xiaoyun's escape technique was obviously not as sophisticated as Lu Zhong's Meteor Escape, but even with one person in tow, his escape speed was almost the same.
Seeing that Xu Shi could never catch up, he actually abandoned the person he was taking.
…
Half a day later.
Above the turbulent deep sea.
Lu Zhong decided to give it a try.
Asking the spirit puppet to take Yu Feng'er away, he turned around and faced Fang Xiaoyun who was chasing him.
When the latter saw him, he was not surprised but overjoyed.
"How brave!" Fang Xiaoyun shouted.
He took out his natal magic weapon, Jinzhuo, and a small golden ring swelled in the wind. It quickly turned into a size of about ten feet, and was hit by the red sword shadow that came towards him.
When he responded, Lu Zhong also blessed himself with magical powers.
Thanks to the Star Gathering Technique and the Star Blessing, the aura increases again and again.
He also took a third-level spring-flowing pill into his mouth, and his mana, which was about to bottom out, quickly recovered.
The Jiaoling Flag and the Qingli Sword have also been sacrificed. There is no need to cover up at this time. If you can't get rid of Fang Xiaoyun, the only outcome will be death.
Needless to say, Tianluotong has already been summoned and opened.
The two fought fiercely in the air.
Fang Xiaoyun is indeed the ancestor of the Fang family, and his treasures are no worse than Lu Zhong's. He also possesses many magic weapons and a rare magic shield.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of rounds passed.
Fang Xiaoyun suddenly found that he had no choice but to help Lu Zhong.
As for Lu Zhong, after discovering this situation, his confidence immediately increased. He thought that his strength was not as good as Fang Xiaoyun, but he never thought that he had underestimated himself.
"Qiang!" The green glass sword collided with Huang Jinzhuo, causing bursts of sparks to fly.
Occasionally, a sword energy was released, and when it hit the sea, it plowed a ravine several feet deep.
The more they fight, the more determined Lu Zhong becomes.
Comparing the strength of Fang Xiaoyun and him, they are evenly matched.
As the sun sets, his strength is still rising.
On the other hand, Fang Xiaoyun's momentum was constantly weakening as his mana was consumed.
He himself was also keenly aware of this, and he suddenly felt bad in his heart. He couldn't help but become anxious, and kept looking in the direction he came from.
"How come the ancestor of the Lin family hasn't arrived yet!"
As soon as he comes and the two of them join forces, Lu Zhong will definitely die.
If it's too late...
Not daring to think further, Fang Xiaoyun fought Lu Zhong with all his strength.
Gradually, he began to be at a disadvantage.
Most of the protective energy has been worn away. If it continues like this for another half-quarter of an hour, it might be broken.
But at this moment, a small point of light appeared on the horizon.
Fang Xiaoyun was ecstatic after seeing it.
After a few breaths, three more light points appeared.
However, Fang Hongshang and four other people arrived one after another.
"Hahaha, Lu Zhong, you will definitely die today!"
"Humph, I don't think so!"
Lu Zhong snorted coldly and suddenly launched a rapid offensive.
Squeezing out the remaining mana, he dodged with a burst of violent cracks. In the process, he condensed the Chiyang Magic Sword in each hand and was protected by two dragon spirit flags. He immediately gave up his defense.
A sudden burst of spiritual light!
He had already made up his mind to seriously injure Fang Xiaoyun at the risk of injury.
Otherwise, there would be such a late-stage elixir-forming monk chasing after me.
Sooner or later you will be in dire straits.
"Break it for me!"
Lu Zhong struck out the last sword.
There was a faint sound of crashing and breaking.
Fang Xiaoyun had a look of disbelief on his face. It was his body-protecting Qi that could not hold up at first. When he discovered this, he was stunned for a moment.
The whole person felt sluggish for a moment.
In the fight between monks, life and death are only on a thin line.
How could Lu Zhong miss this opportunity!
He immediately activated the Star Mirror and shot out dozens of mirror lights at once.
The sound of "puff" kept coming.
The mirror light fell on Fang Xiaoyun, and the late-stage pill-forming monk suddenly let out a shrill scream. Several blood flowers burst out from his body, and he was hit by more mirror lights.
After a few clicks, there was no sound at all.
Lu Zhong took the magic weapon and storage bag into his hands. Regardless of the severe pain in his meridians, he took another third-level spring-flowing pill to restore his magic power, and immediately took Yu Feng'er from a distance with him.
Burning cultivation and blood essence, it turns into a bloody meteor and escapes.
