Chapter 128 – Ten Years’ Promise, Revenge

Chapter 128 – Ten Years’ Promise, Revenge

The sky was cloudless and blue.

A flying boat slowly flew down from the air outside of Ruyi County.

Lu Changsheng took out a messenger talisman and sent a message to Hong Yi, Li Feiyu.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Hong Yi and Li Fei Yu came out of the city.

“Brother Hong, Fei Yu.”

Lu Changsheng greeted the two.

He then introduced Hong Yi to Qu Zhen Zhen and the children.

After a brief introduction and greeting, Lu Changsheng let Qu Zhenzhen take a few children on a carriage to enter the city.

“Eternal Life, I heard Brother Hong say that the Lu Family overthrew Red Leaf Valley?”

At this moment, Li Feiyu looked at Lu Changsheng and inquired.

He had been paying attention to the Green Bamboo Mountain and Red Leaf Valley.

Now that so much time had passed, he had also poked around to find out about the Lu and Chen Families.

Learning that the Lu Family had wiped out the Chen Family of Red Leaf Valley, they were also surprised beyond belief, not knowing what was going on.

“Exactly.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

And there’s no hiding it.

Tell the Lu family and the Chen family roughly what happened.

At the same time, he asked Knight Fei Yu what his future plans were.

Are you ready to continue in the world, or go back to the Green Bamboo Mountain.

He could see that Li Feiyu’s cultivation was still at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

In the secular world, even with a small Spirit Gathering Formation that he had set up, cultivation was very difficult.

It was completely inferior to cultivating in a place of spiritual veins like the Green Bamboo Mountain.

“No, now that my child is also much older and has my parents to take care of him, I’m going to go to the Immortal Cultivation Realm after this year to break into the world and see if there are any chances.”

Knight Feather said so.

He had never given up on cultivating immortality.

Knowing that he is now in this situation, if he does not go to break through and fight, not to mention the foundation, this life will not have a chance to the late stage of qi refining.

“When the Red Leaf Valley is destroyed, the Lu Family, the Bai Family, the Yu Family, and the Zheng Family, will establish the Red Leaf Valley as a workshop.”

“Once the workshop is complete and all the waste is gone, it will be a good place to go.”

Lu Changsheng opened his mouth.

From what he understood, the Red Leaf Place Market would be built within the next year or two.

After it is built, in order to attract casual cultivators to come and merchants to move in, the four great clans will also give a lot of favorable policies.

This stage is not bad for a casual cultivator.

If Li Feiyu traveled to the Red Leaf Market, he would be able to take care of one or two things.

After all, exploring the cave secret realm was still too dangerous in his opinion if he really traveled to wander around.

Totally ten dead.

But he also knew that for an ordinary loose cultivator like Li Feiyu, there was only one way to go if he wanted to achieve success in immortal cultivation.

“Okay, I’ll think about it then.”

Li Feiyu sniffed and nodded.

“Red Leaf Valley is going to establish a workshop?”

Hong Yi sniffed and was also a bit surprised to see the business opportunity.

“That’s right, if Brother Hong is interested, he can also go and take a look then.”

“If you want to buy a store, I can still make a connection.”

Lu Changsheng said towards Hong Yi.

Now that he had settled his wife and concubine and children in the secular world and had the care of the Marquis Ruyi, he was naturally willing to return the favor.

After the Red Leaf Square Market was established, several big families would put some of their store residences out for cheap sale.

If Hong Yi wanted it, he could ask for a place from the Lu family.

“Thank you, Brother Lu, I will go back and discuss this matter with my father.”

When Hong Yi heard this, his face instantly blushed.

It is also known that this kind of store residence at the beginning of the workshop is not something you can buy just because you want to.

Need to qualify.

I didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to actually express that he was able to build bridges for himself.

This also made him unable to help but marvel in his heart at Lu Changsheng’s status and position in the Lu family nowadays.

I didn’t expect that in just ten years, the peasant boy who was once not regarded by himself had grown step by step to such a point.

He was also glad that he had quickly changed his mindset in the first place, and had struck up a good relationship with Lu Changsheng.

“Brother Lu, the mastermind behind the murder of my sister-in-law’s entire family that you asked me to investigate earlier is now being held in the dungeon of the Marquis .”

Hong Yi spoke.

“Alright, I’ll trouble Brother Hong with this matter.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the carriage that Qu Zhenzhen was in and nodded.

Through the previous letter from Hong Yi, he already knew the specifics of the matter.

As he had guessed, the cultivator was a Dormant Cultivator.

As a result of practicing a method of tapping, he worked as a provider in a small family.

Relying on picking up women to cultivate, and having people search for women with spiritual roots in the world.

So there’s also the matter of Qu Jingzhen in the first place.

He brought Qu Zhenzhen over on this trip to deal with this matter as well.

“Good, if Brother Lu wants to come over at that time, just send a message to me.”

“My father has always wanted to meet you, too.”

Hong Yi nodded his head and said so.

Immediately, the three of them continued to chat about recent events as well as things in the Immortal Cultivation World.

“By the way, Brother Lu do you have contact with Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Zhao, Fellow Daoist Han and the rest of them in general?”

At this time, Hong Yi inquired.

“I’ve had a few epistolary exchanges with Han Lin, and I don’t have any dealings with Fellow Daoist Xiao, or Fellow Daoist Zhao.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said.

After the initial three-year pact, they made another ten-year pact though.

But this decade, in the end, is too long.

A little friendship back in the day doesn’t always last.

And Lu Changsheng wasn’t the type of person who enjoyed dealing with people very much.

So for so many years, there had only been a few letters with Han Lin.

Knowing that the other had become a refiner.

And he learned that Xiao Xi Yue had been taken in as a disciple by a JieDan real person.

Lu Changsheng then wrote a letter of congratulations and congratulations to Xiao Xiyue, and the other party simply returned a letter, and then there was no more.

“I do correspond with all three on a regular basis.”

Hong Yi spoke.

His personality was different from Lu Changsheng’s.

After returning to the secular world, it has been dealing with people.

And have been doing my best to maintain that network.

It then told of the recent history of the three men.

Xiao Xiyue had been taken in as a disciple by a JieDan real person, and had already broken through the late stage of Qi Refining long ago, and was expected to build a foundation in the future.

Zhao Qingqing’s Sixth Grade Spiritual Root became a pharmacist.

But not long ago, he exchanged letters with Han Lin and learned that Zhao Qingqing had awakened a hidden spiritual body, the body of grass and wood.

This spirit body has no gain for cultivation, but is good at cultivating elixirs for healing.

That’s why it allowed Zhao Qingqing to be spotted by the outer sect elder who was in charge of the medicinal garden and accepted as a disciple.

“Fellow Daoist Han became an artifact refiner, and now that Fellow Daoist Lu is also a top-grade talisman master, it’s only Brother Knight and I who are still wasting away in the world.”

Hong Yi voiced out an emotion.

In the beginning, among the six of them, he was the one with the most favorable status and family.

Nowadays, although the mix is not bad, but when compared to Lu Changsheng and others, the gap immediately came out.

It was also only a few points better than Knight Fei Yu.

“Ugh.”

Knight Fei Yu on the side sighed slightly and didn’t say anything.

When the three-year appointment was first made, he became the one who was the worst of the six.

Now another seven years or so have passed and he is still the worst.

And the gap with the crowd is widening.

This was also the reason why he was thinking of going to the Immortal Cultivation World to make a break for it and put up a fight.

“Fei Yu.”

Seeing his good brother like this, Lu Changsheng patted his shoulder.

“I’m fine, I’m just a little emotional watching you guys do this.”

Li Feiyu shook his head with a bitter smile.

“Now it’s only two and a half years until the ten-year pact we set out to make in the first place.”

“I’ll write a letter to inquire about Fellow Daoist Xiao and the others in a few days to see if we get together.”

Hong Yi continued.

“I’m all for it.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

What he wanted to do with this friendship was to maintain it as long as he could.

But it’s not forced and chooses to go with the flow.

After all, with the system in place, he didn’t need Hong Yi to be like this.

Li Feiyu also nodded slightly.

He didn’t have the idea of clinging and relying on others for help though.

But also know that it’s in your interest to maintain that network.

Just like now, he was on good terms with Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi, and had many conveniences in terms of cultivation resources and information.

In the midst of the three of them chatting, the carriage also arrived at the entrance of the Lu Mansion.

Lu Lanshu, Lu Zi’er, Lu Qing’er, and Xia Zhiyue were standing at the entrance of the mansion with a group of children.

Apparently, he also knew that Lu Changsheng had come and was waiting at the door.

“Brother Lu, I still have things to do, so I won’t disturb your reunion.”

Seeing this, Hong Yi got up and excused himself.

“Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, then looked at his wife and children.

“Husband, Father, Zhen Zhen, Auntie Qu!”

The crowd of wives and concubines and children looked at Lu Changsheng and immediately revealed the joy of being reunited after a long time.

Lu Wuyou and Lu Xile even rushed over to hug Lu Changsheng.

“Hahahahaha, did you miss daddy?”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng hugged the child, rubbed his head, and a smile appeared on his face.

“Think!”

I haven’t seen them in over a year, and several of the kids are much taller.

From the pace of his body, he could tell that he already had some martial arts background.

This small boost in their martial arts practice was also a plus for Lu Changsheng.

Only that’s too small a bonus.

For Lu Changsheng, who cultivated the Hundred Refinement Treasure Body Skill, it was simply minuscule.

“Lan Shu, it’s been a pleasure for you all these days.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the several concubines.

“Husband, it’s not hard.”

Several women shook their heads, their eyes filled with tenderness.

“Come on, get in first.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t catch up and chat at the gate either.

Patting his eldest son, Lu Pingan, who had almost grown to his chest, he entered the mansion with his wife and children.

There was a considerable change between the Lu Mansion today and a year and a half ago.

There were many more guards, martial artists, slaves, and maids in the mansion.

Lu Lanshu has instructed, these people see Lu Changsheng the head of the family, all respectfully salute, mouth call “master, the head of the family”.

“Huh.”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.

It took a while to get used to the title.

But in the secular world, it’s normal to call out to the lord when you have a family.

And at twenty-eight, it really wasn’t that young.

After Lu Changsheng settled a few children, he accompanied his wife and concubines and children and had a lively reunion dinner.

It’s night.

“Lan Shu, Zi’er, Qing’er, do you want to go back to the Green Bamboo Mountain to take a look.”

Lu Changsheng wrapped his wife and concubines around him and inquired.

When he first sent his wife and concubines to the world, it was partly to take care of the children and partly to prepare for the run.

Now that the Lu family’s situation had stabilized, so if the three girls wanted to go back to the Green Bamboo Mountain, he could also take them back to live in the Green Bamboo Mountain on this trip.

“Husband, we’ll just stay over here with the baby.”

All three women shook their heads and said.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to go back to Green Bamboo Mountain.

However, he also understood that nowadays, Lu Changsheng was busy with his affairs, so instead of going back to Green Bamboo Mountain, he should be over here.

Moreover, they knew that Lu Changsheng wouldn’t take the children back again and couldn’t bear to part with them.

“Good, I’ll be back as often as I can.”

Lu Changsheng said in a warm voice.

He still had quite a bit of affection for his first three wives.

When the words fell, he expressed his feelings with his actions.

Day two.

“Makoto, why don’t you stay home and I’ll just go.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Qu Zhenzhen and said.

Even though this trip was to bring Qu Zhen Zhen to take revenge.

But Qu Zhenzhen usually dared not even kill a chicken, where would she dare to kill someone on her own to take revenge.

Moreover, he could also see that after so many years had passed, Qu Zhenzhen had been putting the hatred within her heart into oblivion and discarding it.

This may cause painful memories to well up in the heart if you see an enemy.

“Husband.”

Qu Zhenzhen looked at Lu Changsheng and pursed her lips, her eyes were firm, obviously wanting to go.

“Let’s go then.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng also held her hand and didn’t say anything more.

Bringing Qu Zhenzhen to the Ruyi King’s residence.

The butler at the door learned that Lu Changsheng had come and immediately went to inform him.

Not only did Hong Yi come to greet them.

Hong Yi’s father, Marquis Ruyi, also personally came to greet him.

This Ruyi Hou looked to be in his fifties.

However, Lu Changsheng knew through Hong Yi that this Marquis Ruyi, who was already over seventy, had more than forty children.

“Seventh level of Qi Refining.”

Lu Changsheng could tell at a glance the cultivation level of this Marquis Ruyi.

This cultivation strength was enough to be considered an expert in the secular world.

“Spirit gathering array, small spiritual land?”

After entering the inner courtyard of the royal palace, Lu Changsheng immediately sensed that there was a spiritual vein underneath this royal palace’s inner courtyard.

Similar to the original Ox Head Mountain, it belonged to an unimpressive spirit vein.

However, in the secular world, it was already considered very good to have such an unorthodox spirit vein.

After Lu Changsheng briefly recognized and chatted with this Ruyi Marquis, he followed Hong Yi to an underground palace.

“Young Master Yi.”

At the entrance of the underground palace, there were two innate experts guarding it, arching their hands towards Hong Yi.

“Open the door.”

Hong Yi directly spoke out.

Entering the dungeon and going through the tunnel, you can see that it is a dungeon.

There was a damp, moldy scent in the air, imprisoning a number of people.

“If any martial arts masters, or immortal cultivators, appear within Ruyi County and cause trouble, the Ruyi Marquis House will send someone to deal with them and imprison them here.”

“Gongsun Hong is being held in the depths.”

Hong Yi explained to Lu Changsheng.

Gongsun Hong, the Immortal Cultivator behind the murder of Qu Zhenzhen’s entire family in the first place.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, holding Qu Zhenzhen’s hand as he followed Hong Yi towards the depths of the dungeon.

Many of the cells on either side were empty, some holding prisoners.

Crucifixion, iron cords on lute bones, hand and foot tendons picked out, and shackles and chains wrapped around the wrists and ankles of the limbs.

Those who could be imprisoned here were basically not very strong.

If you are not an Immortal Cultivator, you are at least an Innate Master.

A number of prisoners opened their eyes at the sound of footsteps.

When he saw Hong Yi, it was as if he saw his father’s killer, his eyes were scarlet red, he gritted his teeth and struggled, letting out a roar.

When Qu Zhenzhen saw this scenario, her heart grew fearful and she tightly wrapped her arms around Lu Changsheng.

Although she was an Immortal Cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, her soft nature hadn’t changed much.

“It’s okay.”

Lu Changsheng wrapped his arms around his little petite wife’s hand and gently comforted.

Not to mention Qu Zhenzhen, even he was a bit uncomfortable with this scenario.

After all, the worst scenario he had ever seen was the killings in Red Leaf Valley.

But it’s not really as bad as coming to nausea like this in front of you.

“Brother Lu, sister-in-law, this person is Gongsun Hong.”

Hong Yi stopped his footsteps, pointed at a cell door in front of him and spoke out.

Only to see an old man in his sixties inside with gray hair, a pale face, and purple lips.

He was cross-bound, iron cords in his lute bones, his hand and foot tendons picked out, shackles and chains wrapped around his limbs and wrists and ankles, and he was dying.

“Gongsun Hong.”

Qu Zhenzhen knew that this person was the real culprit behind the murder of her entire family in the first place.

A wave of hatred and anger welled up in his heart.

But at the same time, remembering that both of his parents died because of him, a sadness surfaced in his heart.

“Makoto, I’ll do it.”

Lu Changsheng sighed slightly when he saw his wife in this state.

He knew Qu Zhenzhen’s character well.

It was expected that even if the murderer was in front, Qu Zhenzhen’s heart would only be sad and bewildered.

It’s hard to have that anger, that hatred, that thrill of revenge, that satisfaction of facing your enemies.

One is a matter of character.

Also it’s been so many years that the hatred has been covered up a lot.

Qu Zhenzhen nodded with slightly red eyes.

She was a bit uncomfortable throughout as soon as she entered the dungeon.

Even regurgitated.

At this point, she really didn’t know what to do if she was allowed to go down and kill someone to vent her hatred.

“Swish!”

Lu Changsheng snapped his fingers.

A white light sword burst out, directly ending Gongsun Hong’s life and chopping off his head.

When he first saved Qu Zhenzhen, he was worried in his mind that this behind-the-scenes Immortal Cultivator would find him.

But now, more than seven years had passed, and decapitating the other party was like killing a chicken.

“呜呜呜，夫君。”

When Qu Zhenzhen saw Gongsun Hong die, her body trembled, her eyes had tears left in them, and she hugged Lu Changsheng tightly.

While there were a few moments of relief from revenge in her heart, there was more emptiness and sadness.

Knowing that your parents and family will never come back.

“Ugh.”

Lu Changsheng wrapped his arms around his wife and gently stroked his hair to soothe Qu Zhenzhen.

If not to give his wife an account of the results.

And since the other party insisted on coming, he was not willing to bring Qu Zhenzhen to such a place.

After taking revenge, Lu Changsheng didn’t stay long.

Collecting Gongsun Hong’s head, he bid farewell to Hong Yi and left.

With Qu Zhenzhen in tow, he rode the Iron Feathered Eagle and headed to Dongyang County, Zhou Shanfu.

One day later.

The two came to the Zhou Shan Mansion.

“Father, Mother, ooohhhh–“

Looking at the desolate and dilapidated, overgrown compound in front of her, Qu Zhenzhen finally couldn’t help but cry out in pain.

Seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng sighed slightly.

Comforting his Stepford wife, he erected a single headstone for his dead in-laws.

The desolate and dilapidated mansion was then invited to be repaired, and a permanent watch was kept over it.

So that when Qu Zhenzhen comes over to pay her respects in the future, she won’t be this sad and uncomfortable.

At the same time, it was also the thought that in the future, that great-uncle of theirs who had gone on the devil’s path would come back and see it, and be able to know that his sister was still alive and entrusted to a good man.
