"I say, An Wan, you're surprisingly generous, even bringing out this kind of pill."

Upon seeing An Wan, Quan Lei couldn't help but complain. An Wan, in turn, retorted with a huff.

"You're one to talk, aren't you? You brought out the Azure Lightning Sword as a congratulatory gift too! The Azure Lightning Sword is worth no less than my pills."

Hearing this, Quan Lei merely snorted and said nothing more. Just then, the house servant shouted again.

"Patriarch Peng Yuyan of the Peng Family has come to congratulate the Lu Family on their move, bringing a gift of fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing Peng Yuyan's gift, both Quan Lei and An Wan were surprised. Fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones, Peng Yuyan was certainly sparing no expense.

Soon after, Peng Yuyan arrived before the two of them.

"You two arrived earlier than I expected."

Peng Yuyan chuckled and shook his head. Quan Lei, however, noticed a woman accompanying Peng Yuyan and his eyes widened.

"Old Peng, you actually brought your granddaughter? What are you trying to do?"

"Hey, what kind of talk is that? Isn't she here for the feast? Isn't it perfectly normal for me to bring my granddaughter to eat?"

Peng Yuyan glared indignantly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Beside Peng Yuyan was a beautiful woman, who seemed like an immortal. Although she was already a cultivator, her entire aura was like that of a celestial maiden from the heavens.

She was someone to be admired from afar, not to be trifled with.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Old Peng, bringing Ziyan here, are you perhaps planning for an alliance with the Lu Family?"

An Wan shook his head helplessly and said, Peng Yuyan's granddaughter, Peng Ziyan, was known as the most beautiful woman in Qingfeng Town. Of course, that was before Ling Qingping arrived.

If their own families had any presentable women, they would have likely chosen to bring their most beautiful ones. Perhaps if Lu Jiuyuan took a liking to her, they could form an alliance with the Lu Family.

Currently, Lu Jiuyuan was the only one with the main bloodline in the Lu Family, which meant he would undoubtedly be the future patriarch. Building a good relationship with Lu Jiuyuan in advance might lead to his assistance if anything were to happen in the future.

But at this moment, the house servant shouted again: "Patriarch Ling Xukun of the Ling Family has come to congratulate the Lu Family on their move, bringing the entire Chen Family as a gift!"

Upon mentioning the entire Chen Family, the house servant's face was filled with strangeness, but he could only announce it.

After hearing the servant's words, the cultivators present were all stunned. The three Golden Core patriarchs secretly cursed their misfortune.

"Damn it, Ling Xukun beat us to it!"

Quan Lei slapped his thigh, regretting it immensely. He hadn't expected Ling Xukun to actually bring the entire Chen Family with him.

The Lu Family and the Chen Family had an irreconcilable hatred. In such a situation, the Ling Family actually brought the entire Chen Family with them. Anyone with a brain would know how precious this gift was.

As Quan Lei and the others turned their heads, they saw Ling Xukun standing at the front, with the Chen family members tied up behind him.

"Ling Xukun, you sly dog, what a brilliant idea you had."

Quan Lei gritted his teeth in anger. If he had been the one to capture the Chen Family, who knew what kind of reward that esteemed individual might have given him.

"Ah, you're too kind, I just used my brain a little."

Li Xukun's mouth was already stretched to the back of his head. Seeing this, the three Golden Core patriarchs were even more infuriated, but they were helpless.

After all, Li Xukun was now on familiar terms with that senior, so they couldn't easily make a move against him.

Meanwhile, the Chen family members, brought in by Li Xukun, felt like they were being stared at like gorillas in a zoo, wishing they could dig a hole and disappear.

Chen Feng's face turned red with embarrassment, his toes digging into the ground, almost creating a three-bedroom apartment.

Deep within the Lu Family, Lu Xuan had received the news from the house servants and opened his eyes in surprise.

"Li Xukun is actually so sensible? Fine. I originally planned to destroy the Chen Family after the Lu Family was rebuilt to avenge Guang'er, but since they've come to our doorstep, I'll deal with them along the way."

With that, Lu Xuan headed towards the door.

Lu Jiuyuan also received the news at the same time.

"All members of the Chen Family have been captured? Since that's the case, then deal with them all."

Lu Jiuyuan felt the same empathy from the original body's memories. The humiliation of that day was now his own, and therefore, he should be the one to eliminate the Chen Family.

With this thought, Lu Jiuyuan set off towards the location of the Chen Family members.

Before the three Golden Core patriarchs on the other side could react, Lu Xuan had already appeared before them.

"Senior Lu!"

The three quickly bowed. They dared not act presumptuously before a senior; otherwise, Lu Xuan would have every right to eliminate them without any complaint.

"Hmm, are these all the members of the Chen Family?"

Lu Xuan looked at the Chen Family members and asked calmly.

Li Xukun quickly replied, "Senior Lu, all members of the Chen Family are here. I have brought everyone with the Chen Family bloodline."

"And I have fed them Spirit Nullifying Powder. For twelve hours, they will be like mortals, unable to use their spiritual energy."

Upon hearing Li Xukun's words, Lu Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Spirit Nullifying Powder, a natural treasure that can cause cultivators to lose their spiritual energy for a short period. Those with a longer history can even affect great powers at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

"You've done very well. The Lu Family owes you a favor for this. If you ever need anything in the future, our family will act on your behalf once."

As Lu Xuan finished speaking, Li Xukun replied gratefully, "Senior, this is what I should have done. If it weren't for your help, I'm not sure I could have broken through to the Golden Core mid-stage."

As soon as Li Xukun said this, the masters of the three great families were stunned. So, this fellow Li Xukun had secretly broken through to the Golden Core mid-stage?

"A favor for a favor. You did something for our Lu Family, so a reward is necessary."

Lu Xuan said dismissively, waving his hand. Li Xukun could only suppress the excitement in his heart and agree.

This way, his Li Family could ask the Lu Family for help twice.

Just then, Lu Jiuyuan arrived late. Upon seeing Lu Jiuyuan, Chen Feng's emotions became even more agitated!
