Chapter 1522: Chapter 521: _3

They entered the Secret Realm with not only talismans, magic artifacts, puppets provided by the family but had also prepared some methods of their own.

For the Lu Family disciples, purchasing talismans was quite convenient on normal days, and they would typically keep a few talismans on hand.

“Hmph, trying to escape!”

Seeing this, two monks from the Sima Family immediately pursued, unwilling to let Lu Qingze get away.

The Sima Family had given direct orders this time: if they encountered monks from Bi Lake Mountain Lu Family, they were to kill them on sight.

For each person killed, the reward was a Foundation Establishment Spirit Object!

If two people were killed, the killer would have priority for obtaining a Foundation Establishment Elixir!

With such conditions, there was no reason they would let them get away.

…

Several days later.

“Buzz buzz buzz—”

Seeing Iron Fire Ants had killed two monks, Lu Chensha rode his Thousand Legged Centipede forward, using the Hui God Worm to sense the surroundings and check for any remaining ambushes.

Once he was sure the danger was gone, he went up to clean up the bodies and storage bags of the fallen.

“No wonder there’s always the saying about ’profits for killing and burning,’ even with just two people, the haul is thousands of Spirit Stones…”

“According to my usual earnings from feeding Spiritual Beasts, it would probably take a decade to make this many Spirit Stones.”

Lu Chensha looked at the storage bag in his hand, feeling a sense of wonder.

Bi Lake Mountain gives monthly resource stipends, so they were not really short on Spirit Stones.

Though they weren’t lacking, who would be unhappy with more money?

Considering usual family tasks or working outside would at most earn a thousand Spirit Stones a year.

But within the Secret Realm, killing two monks brought thousands of Spirit Stones, making him feel quite reflective.

“Their ambushing just now, if it hadn’t been for my Thousand Legged Centipede and Hui God Worm, it would have been dangerous…”

“Their method seems quite suitable for me.”

“I could completely learn from them, using Spiritual Medicine as bait or disguising their corpses as being devoured by Demon Beasts, making them appear as if they perished together, leaving the storage bags behind, then hiding Iron Fire Ants within the corpses.”

“As soon as someone greedy comes forward, they can directly command Iron Fire Ants to attack.”

“Average Energy Refining Cultivators wouldn’t be able to react at all.”

Lu Chensha, replaying the recent scene in his mind, suddenly had an idea.

He thought that doing this could fill his pockets completely.

Yet, as soon as the thought arose, he startled himself.

This was his first time killing someone.

Possibly because the Iron Fire Ants did all the work, he didn’t feel very much.

Just like killing Demon Beasts before.

Yet, this kind of wanton disregard for life, the idea of survival of the fittest, still shocked him greatly.

No matter his previous character or the teachings of Bi Lake Mountain, none advocated this kind of disregard for life, being recklessly bold.

“Always walking by the river, there’s no way your shoes won’t get wet; many choose to become robber cultivators, heretic cultivators, simply because they’ve tasted a bit of pleasure.”

“If this is done, you might encounter some powerful figure, better to regroup first.”

Lu Chensha discarded the idea, tidied up a bit, and continued onward.

But the recent thoughts—his first time killing someone—still made him feel that he had become more indifferent to life.

Silently, his soul began evolving in minor ways.

…

About half a day later, Lu Chensha met up with Lu Qingyan and Lu Qingze.

Both of them bore signs of battle.

Especially Lu Qingze, who appeared pale, having suffered significant exhaustion and injury.

However, Lu Chensha sat on his Thousand Legged Centipede, completely clean and tidy.

“Sima Family…”

Upon hearing Lu Qingze’s words, Lu Chensha suggested that they strike first the next time they encountered them.

After waiting for two days, Lu Mingfeng and Lu Ziyun came over.

The two were closer at the time and gathered first.

They too bore signs of battle but weren’t injured, having only encountered Demon Beasts along the way.

“Only Yun Fei is left. He was likely transported to some distant place, making the token unable to detect him.”

Lu Qingyan spoke gravely.

Situations like this are usually quite dangerous.

“What should we do now? Do we search for Spiritual Medicine here on the outskirts, waiting for news from Yun Fei, or head towards the central area?”

Lu Mingfeng asked.

“We came here to regroup but haven’t made much progress yet, so let’s look around the outskirts to see if Yun Fei can send a signal.”

Lu Qingze thought silently and said.

He intended to use this time to recuperate his injuries.

“Alright.”

None objected, and they began moving together.

Although Lu Qingze was wounded and not overly active.

But Lu Qingyan, Lu Chensha, Lu Mingfeng, and Lu Ziyun were enough to handle most situations.

As the five began exploring, within the Secret Realm, most clan cultivators and disciples of the Immortal Sects completed their group formations and started targeting isolated loose cultivators.

If they were also clan cultivators, moving in groups of three to five, lacking animosity, then they subtly crossed paths or disengaged after minimal contact.

Several days later, Lu Qingyan and Lu Chensha encountered monks from the Golden Dragon Ridge.

Seeing each other, tensions flared naturally.

“Kill!”

There were also five monks from the Jin Family on their side.

They noticed that Lu Qingze was injured.

Moreover, the Lu Family had recently experienced a battle and was somewhat depleted, prompting them to seize the opportunity to attack one or two of them.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

They unleashed magic artifacts and techniques, aiming to kill Lu Qingze first.

“Hmph!”

Lu Qingyan, clad in silver armor and wielding a silver spear, blocked the path directly.

“Buzz!”

Although Lu Qingze was unable to wield much mana, he still had puppets.

Moreover, Lu Chensha lent him his puppet, allowing him to control two puppets simultaneously.

“Puppets!?”

The monks from the Jin Family saw this, their eyes tightened, but they weren’t too surprised.

Bi Lake Mountain Lu Family was famous for their talisman path, yet their puppet business was most widespread.
