294: funeral

That was a top-grade Talismans, which should not have been able to injure a Foundation Establishment Expert, but in this situation, it was able to force the opponent back, giving himself a chance to counterattack or escape.

Zhou Luo also did not show weakness. The moment before the Talismans' power erupted, he swung his sword wildly, releasing endless sword light.

Boom—

The Talismans' power erupted, and endless power roared out. Zhou Luo held his sword to defend, his figure retreating several steps, creating distance from the opponent.

"Ah..."

At the same time, Lu Haotian, injured by the Sword Qi, let out a scream and fell from high altitude.

His entire right arm was a bloody mess, dripping with blood, revealing gruesome white bones. The scene was shocking.

That Sword Qi had actually stripped all the flesh from his right arm.

Lu Haotian, who had originally planned to escape with this Talismans, felt despair in his heart. Enduring the intense pain, he fled towards the distance.

Zhou Luo's eyes were cold, and he thrust out another sword.

That massive sword strike fell with a roar, smashing onto Lu Haotian's body.

The opponent was sent flying, his bones broken, his entire body a bloody mess, severely injured, with no way to escape.

This scene left the Cultivator who witnessed it in silence, their hearts churning with stormy waves. Some Cultivator even collapsed to the ground, their souls lost.

They never expected that a Foundation Establishment Realm expert would be so brutally slaughtered.

One must know, when the opponent faced that Lin Family Foundation Establishment Expert just now, it wasn't this tragic.

While this group was still in shock, Zhou Luo had already landed on the ground. Under everyone's gaze, he raised his sword.

"No!"

Lu Haotian's eyes were filled with despair, and he screamed in terror.

But Zhou Luo gave him no chance to beg for mercy. His hand moved, and the sword fell, completely extinguishing the opponent's life force.

He wanted revenge, and he also wanted to establish his might.

Since his strength had been exposed, he would let them see what the consequences would be for provoking him.

Presumably, after this incident, the news of him killing a Foundation Establishment Realm expert would quickly spread throughout the entire Qingyuan Domain.

By then, those hidden enemies who wanted to attack him or his people would have to weigh whether they had the ability to do so.

"Family Head!"

The Lu Family expert cried loudly in despair upon seeing Lu Haotian die before him.

They never expected the opponent to be so ruthless.

Xu Changsheng and others who arrived from afar saw this scene and were all overjoyed.

And without the constraints of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Zhou Changle and the others charged out directly, killing gods if they blocked and killing buddhas if they blocked, determined to sacrifice these enemies to their eldest brother.

In the city, the Lin Family Cultivator also recognized Zhou Changle and the others. After a brief shock, they immediately closed the formation and charged out from within the city.

The Lin Family Cultivator, who had been at a disadvantage, now had a rainbow-like momentum, killing the enemies, leaving no armor behind, and causing them to flee in panic.

The Zhang Family leader was quick to react, leading a group of Zhang Family disciples to escape to the other side early.

And Zhou Luo, who had dealt with Lu Haotian, took a deep breath, looked at the fleeing people, moved his feet, and chased after them.

At this moment, his cultivation, comparable to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, transformed into a grim reaper, constantly harvesting the lives of those Cultivator.

...

Half an hour later, Zhou Luo returned from afar.

Outside Maple Leaf City, all the enemies had been wiped out, and Xu Changsheng and others were cleaning up the battlefield.

The Lin Family Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor saw Zhou Luo return and quickly greeted him with a smile.

"Zhou Fellow Daoist."

In the Cultivation World, Qi Training cultivator refer to experts above Foundation Establishment as Senior, regardless of their age.

And those in the Foundation Establishment Realm address each other as Daoist friend.

He looked at the opponent's undiminished Killing Intent, his heart filled with awe.

Zhou Luo cupped his hands in greeting: "Lin Fellow Daoist."

"Indeed, heroes emerge from youth. Zhou Fellow Daoist is truly the good fortune of my Lin Family," the Lin Family Old Ancestor said enthusiastically.

The strength the opponent displayed was truly terrifying.

One must know, even he wasn't confident in killing a Foundation Establishment expert, but the opponent had done it.

This forced this Lin Family Old Ancestor to show the opponent importance.

Zhou Luo's face was expressionless: "This is as it should be. After all, this is also my Zhou Family."

When he said the words "my Zhou Family", he deliberately emphasized his tone.

The Lin Family Old Ancestor's eyes flashed, and he gave an awkward smile.

Zhou Luo's return was not a major event, but his promotion to the Foundation Establishment Realm caused a huge stir throughout the entire Lin Family.

No one expected that this Family Sixth Elder, who had always been criticized as a coward, would be the first Elder to successfully reach Foundation Establishment.

Especially Lin Tianxiong and Lin Xuanfeng, they looked at each other, unsure for a moment how to face the opponent.

And perhaps the happiest people in the entire Lin Family were Lin Guangxuan and the others.

Earlier, the Great Elder had told them to rely on Zhou Luo. At first, they didn't quite understand, but now seeing the opponent successfully reach Foundation Establishment, they finally realized the Great Elder's foresight.

Returning victorious, Zhou Luo did not go to see anyone. Instead, he took Zhou Changan's body back to Zhou Garden.

Upon learning that her biological son had died in battle, Lin Qinghan, as his Mother,'s eyes went black and she fainted to the ground. It was a long while before she woke up.

Zhou Luo's other wives and concubines also had sad expressions and painful looks.

They had watched Zhou Changan grow up, and their feelings for everyone were very deep. Now that they were separated by life and death, it was inevitably difficult.

That day, Zhou Garden was filled with white flowers.

This made those who had intended to come and congratulate hesitate, fearing to offend this Foundation Establishment expert.

The entire Lin Family remained silent because of this.

Even though they had just won a great victory, no one dared to celebrate. They could only quietly stay at home, waiting for the funeral in Zhou Garden to end.

In the faint light of dawn, white lanterns hung in front of the Zhou Garden gate, swaying gently in the breeze, as if silently speaking of sorrow.

In the main hall of the main building, incense smoke curled up, and the atmosphere was solemn.

The candlelight before the memorial tablet flickered, seemingly seeing off the departed soul.

Family members sat around, softly recounting past memories bit by bit, their eyes filled with endless grief and reluctance.

Lin Qinghan, whose eyes were red from crying, was supported by Lin Xi and sat on a chair, while Zhou Luo sat opposite her in silence.

After a while, someone came from outside.

Leading the way was the Lin Family Family Head, Lin Tianxiong. His expression was solemn, his demeanor serious, and he was wearing plain clothes. He silently came before the memorial hall, leading a group of Main Family disciples to bow before the memorial hall.

"Sixth Elder, please accept my condolences and move on," he walked up to Zhou Luo and gently offered comfort.

Zhou Luo's eyes flashed, and he looked up at the opponent's aged face, his expression indifferent.

Following that, people came one after another to pay their respects.

This funeral lasted for three full days and nights, and in the outside world, the news of Zhou Luo's successful Foundation Establishment instantly spread, immediately causing a huge stir among the Immortal Family.

For years, everyone had been speculating that someone in the Lin Family would successfully reach Foundation Establishment.

But no one expected this person to be Zhou Luo.

In their impression, Zhou Luo seemed to have no outstanding abilities other than a slightly higher talent in Pill Refining.

Especially since he was a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root.

Could this kind of Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) really break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in just a few decades?

How could that be possible.

Thus, there were rumors that he must have encountered some immortal Opportunity outside, and then successfully reached Foundation Establishment by chance.

After all, he had been living in the Immortal City all these years. Perhaps he had formed a connection with a Golden Core True Person or even a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator and was bestowed with good fortune.
