252: The Lu Family's Raid

The matter with the Wei Family was just a small interlude. Zhou Luo's return this time was mainly to pick up Lin Xi and Li Ying, and secondly, to hand in his monthly share of Pills.

After all, he was the Zhou Family's Alchemist. Although he had a reason not to participate in the war, his monthly share of Pills could not be reduced, especially during this war time.

Otherwise, it would attract criticism from the Zhou Family, giving them a reason to target him.

However, he had not yet revealed his strength as a First-Order Top-Grade Alchemist, so the Zhou Family only asked him to refine High Grade Pills.

These Pills could be easily refined by him in the Immortal City by just taking a little Time each day, which was much simpler than refining Second Order Pills.

Speaking of which, after more than three months of learning, he still hadn't grasped the knack of Second-Order Pill Refining Technique, which was somewhat frustrating.

After handing in the Pills share for the previous three months, Zhou Luo planned to stay temporarily.

One reason was for Pill Refining, to prepare the subsequent Pills share.

After all, he would be staying in the Immortal City for a long Time.

In addition, another reason was to help Lin Qinghan become familiar with the arrangements he had made in the Zhou Garden.

This way, even if the Lin Family was attacked in the future, Lin Qinghan could rely on these arrangements to resist foreign invaders.

During this Time, Lin Tianxiong summoned Zhou Luo again.

His intention was also very obvious; he hoped Zhou Luo could go to the front line for Pill Refining and help the Zhou Family resist the enemy.

Zhou Luo refused without even thinking.

He stated that he was just an ordinary Alchemist, and because he had a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, his Realm had only just managed to break through to Qi Training Sixth Level, making him useless on the front line.

Lin Tianxiong was quite helpless but had no way to force the other party to the front line.

After all, the other party was also considered an Elder. If he was unhappy and directly cut off the supply of Pills to the front line, it would be quite troublesome.

A month later, Zhou Luo left the Lin Family with Lin Xi and Li Ying and hurried towards the Immortal City.

Not long after leaving Maple Leaf City, while passing through a mountain forest, the three of them were attacked.

Suddenly, a group of Cultivators with extraordinary Auras emerged from all around. They stared intently at Zhou Luo, exuding a sharp Aura.

"The Lu Family has gone to great lengths," Zhou Luo said, looking at the group with a calm expression.

"Zhou Luo, you will surely die today."

In the crowd, someone shouted, and it was Lu An.

This guy was the Lu Family's Pill Refining Genius, but he had been struck down by Zhou Luo multiple times in the Immortal Sect and even had a High Grade magic tool taken away from him.

Now, after more than twenty Nian, he had cultivated to the Qi Training Seventh Level.

When he learned that the Zhou Family wanted to kill Zhou Luo, even though he was an Alchemist, he declared that he wanted to participate in the battle to wipe away his past humiliation.

Because as far as he knew, the other party, with a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, seemed to not even have the strength of Qi Training Seventh Level after so many Nian of Cultivation.

"Zhou Luo, you have been living a secluded life these Nian. I thought you were cautious enough, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant, daring to go to the Immortal City with two burdens. You are simply courting death."

Lu Chen, the leader of this kill, also walked out from the crowd.

He held a precious sword in his hand, full of confidence in this kill.

This Time, in order to kill Zhou Luo, they did not hesitate to dispatch a full nine people, and even had Elder Lu Chen overseeing the operation.

Zhou Luo sat on his spiritual steed, calm and composed.

Beside him, Li Ying looked nervous and was filled with fear.

Because her Foundation was damaged, her Cultivation was difficult, and after so many Nian, she was only at the Qi Training Fourth Level.

In contrast, Lin Xi appeared extremely calm and didn't even take out her magic tool.

After twenty Nian of Dual Cultivation, she was very clear about her Husband's strength and felt that it was completely unnecessary for her to act.

"Do you really think I'm that easy to deal with?" Zhou Luo raised an eyebrow, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.

"Hmph, you'll know soon enough."

Before Lu Chen finished speaking, he stepped forward.

Clang—

The next second, the precious sword was unsheathed, and golden spiritual energy emerged, enveloping powerful sword energy, pressing directly towards Zhou Luo's face.

At the same Time, the others also made their moves.

Especially Lu An, he glared angrily at Zhou Luo, unleashing all the spiritual energy in his body, determined to cut him down on the spot.

Seeing the dozen or so people make their moves simultaneously, Zhou Luo's expression remained unchanged. With a flip of his right hand, the Shuofeng Magic Sword appeared in his palm.

The spiritual energy in his body surged, and a faint blue spiritual energy appeared on the golden sword body.

Water Curtain Sky Bloom!

He calmly swung his sword, and the vast spiritual energy roared out, like a surging river, carrying incomparably terrifying power.

Around the three of them, endless spiritual energy poured out, transforming into layers of water curtains that blocked the figures of the crowd.

Lu Chen had not the slightest realization that something was wrong. He charged forward fearlessly, swinging the magic sword in his hand and unleashing a vigorous sword energy.

The sword energy landed on the water curtain, stirring up a wave, but it was actually unable to break through its defense.

It wasn't just him; everyone else was the same.

At this Time, everyone realized that the spiritual energy contained within this water curtain seemed somewhat terrifying.

"He was hiding his strength?" This thought immediately surfaced in Lu Chen's mind.

His expression changed slightly, but he had already charged forward.

Boom—

And at this moment, Zhou Luo leaped up from the spiritual steed, his entire body wrapped in spiritual light. The Shuofeng in his hand swept out, and a crimson spiritual energy surged in all directions.

The sky-filling crimson spiritual energy transformed into endless raging flames.

The terrifying high temperature caused even Space to distort.

Everyone's faces turned pale with fright.

In the rolling flames that surged towards them, they felt an incomparably terrifying power, a power like a huge cannonball crushing down, leaving them utterly defenseless.

Qi Training Ninth Level!

Someone shouted in terror, and the next second, everyone fled in panic, retreating frantically, only thinking of avoiding the raging flames.

But how could Zhou Luo let them have their way?

Whoosh—

His Divine Sense surged forth, a gust of strong wind swept by, and the Divine Sense, comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm, pressed down with a bang, like mountains falling upon everyone.

Everyone felt their bodies heavy and their spiritual energy sluggish. Weaker ones like Lu An directly fell from mid-air, landing face first.

Under the shroud of terrifying Divine Sense, everyone was completely unable to resist.

Lu Chen had originally planned to unleash his strongest technique, but the rolling flames had already arrived.

Fireballs fell from the sky, like a torrential rain of pear blossoms.

Boom boom boom—

The entire mountain forest was bombarded by sky fire, emitting deafening sounds.

This group of Lu Family members who wanted to kill Zhou Luo were like lambs to the slaughter, completely defenseless under the pressure and power of Qi Training Ninth Level.

In an instant, this group of a dozen people were buried in the raging flames.

Only screams occasionally echoed.

In the raging flames, Lu Chen felt utterly despairing, and his face was filled with disbelief.

He completely couldn't imagine that this little guy, whom he had completely looked down upon more than twenty Nian ago, had now actually come before him.

Wasn't he a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root?

How could his Cultivation be so fast?

Countless questions flooded his mind, but Lu Chen had no way of knowing the truth.

When the raging flames dissipated, only charred corpses remained on the ground.

Lin Xi's face was slightly pale, and Li Ying's mind was even more shaken, as if struck by lightning, leaving her speechless for a long Time.
