In the quiet room, Lu Zhong was healing Yu Feng'er's injuries.
Her injury had slightly recurred just now, but fortunately, after some transportation of energy and blood, it was no longer serious. As long as she pays attention to more rest in the future, she can recover as before.
After putting her clothes on, Lu Zhong turned his attention to solving the Zhang family's affairs.
According to the previous investigation, Zhang Xiyun should be hiding in the Zhang family and be closely protected by the entire family. With the mountain protection formation shrouded in it, he can prepare to form pills with peace of mind.
But this does not mean that Lu Zhong has no chance.
The matter of forming an elixir can be said to be a matter of a hundred deaths and a lifetime.
Otherwise, with the number of foundation-building cultivators in the entire Changchun Immortal City, there would not only be those dozen Jindan Daoist cultivators.
This shows how difficult it is to form an elixir.
If you want to form an elixir, you may have great opportunity, extraordinary talent, or deep resources.
If you choose one of the three, there is hope for elixir formation.
Zhang Xiyun belongs to the family monk and has the qualification of three spiritual roots. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that he has received the full support of the Baihuayuan Zhang family before it was possible to form an elixir.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he has obtained some kind of opportunity to form an elixir.
But no matter what, as long as Wangxi Chamber of Commerce goes bankrupt, it will have a major impact on Zhang Xiyun Jiedan.
Therefore, Lu Zhong was ready to start from this matter.
Since the Wangxi Chamber of Commerce has broken the rules, there is no need for the Chengde Chamber of Commerce to talk about morality.
Tooth for tooth, that is.
The people of the Wangxi Chamber of Commerce should be killed, the property should be plundered, and the shops in the city can send people to cause trouble. In short, the Zhang family is forced into a dead end.
The only variable is whether Zhang Xiyun will take the risk to form a pill.
But don’t worry too much about this.
When a monk forms an elixir, it is not just as simple as condensing an elixir to trigger a catastrophe.
When it comes to the monk's own condition, if he hurriedly forms an elixir before the time comes, the rate of elixir formation will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, the location of the elixir formation must also be kept secret.
When the Three Nine Heavenly Tribulation comes, if someone breaks into the tribulation, the power of the tribulation thunder will be doubled. There is no shortage of cases in the classics of failure to overcome the tribulation due to revenge of enemies.
Therefore, what Lu Zhong has to do is very simple, that is, while suppressing the Wangxi Chamber of Commerce and the Zhang family, he should pay close attention to Zhang Xiyun's movements. If the other party dares to leave, he will catch up and intercept him.
With the combat power of the Zhang Xiyun family monks, even if they are already in the false elixir stage, they are definitely no match for him.
After Zhang Xiyun is killed, the rest of the matter will be settled easily.
…
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was one year later.
During this period, the Chengde Chamber of Commerce and the Yu family never stopped taking action.
The two sides had fought several times, but they all ended in the defeat of the Zhang family's forces.
Lu Zhongzeng personally took action and killed Zhang Xiwang, the successor of the Zhang family.
Affected by this incident, the Wangxi Chamber of Commerce's power shrank significantly, losing all business shares in Changchun Fairy City. At the same time, the Zhang family behind it also suffered heavy losses and was forced to shrink all its strength and hide in Baihuayuan.
Seeing that the Zhang family was on tight defense, Lu Zhong was not in a hurry.
There is a sense of revenge this time, and Changchun Valley will not interfere.
As for the in-law relationship between the Zhang family.
The Yu family and the Chengde Chamber of Commerce are not unable to deal with it.
He just needs to quietly lurk in Baihuayuan. Judging from the recent movements of the Zhang family, they must be unable to bear it any longer. After all, such a large family consumes a lot of supplies every day. Lu Zhong doesn't think that the Zhang family will be willing to be trapped to death. , the greater possibility is to fight to the death.
And this is exactly what Lu Zhong wants.
As long as the remaining foundation-building monk from the Zhang family is killed, Zhang Xiyun will be alone.
At that time, he can rely on the scene to recall the past and follow the trail to pursue him.
"Peng!" A bright firework exploded.
This is a warning from our own monks.
It shows that the Zhang family has already taken action.
"Can't you finally bear it?" Lu Zhong's eyes flashed with light. The fireworks were rising in the east. Without any hesitation, he released his flying boat and headed straight for that direction.
There is a scene that comes back to him, so he doesn't need to worry about it being a ruse.
If the Zhang family really starts to break through, they will intercept and kill as many as they can.
As for Zhang Xiyun's true whereabouts, at worst, if you review the scene carefully afterwards, you can know which direction this person left from.
By the time Lu Zhong arrived, the two sides were already fighting.
Yu Yuqing, who was in charge of this direction, had arrived before he arrived and was currently fighting with a foundation-building monk from the Zhang family.
When Zhang Donglin saw Lu Zhong appear, his mood became extremely complicated.
There is both the despair of dying and the relief of successfully attracting enemies.
"Ah, evil thief, die!"
Zhang Donglin fired a few spells, and a large amount of red light began to flow out of his body, and then he rushed towards Lu Zhong's location without any care.
Outsiders could tell at a glance that he was preparing to explode into a sea of anger.
When Yu Yuqing saw it, he quickly ordered the tribesmen to push away. He also stepped aside far away, fearing that he would be affected by the aftermath of the explosion. At the same time, he did not forget to use his magic weapon to block it, so as to buy time for Lu Zhong to retreat.
Lu Zhong sneered at this moment.
Evil thief?
There is no good or evil in this matter, it's just a matter of different stances.
If the Zhang family wins this time, the whole family will enjoy great benefits. In terms of the ability to grab resources, the Jindan family is far superior to the Jiji family.
It's a pity that now they have failed.
If you fail, you will have to bear the corresponding price.
Lu Zhong held out the Qingyang Mirror, and beams of light from the body-fixing mirror burst out.
When a monk self-destructs, he needs to mobilize all his true energy in the sea of qi before he can explode with unparalleled power. Otherwise, it is no different from committing suicide. During this period, his movements will be restricted and he will be restrained by the immobilizing mirror light.
Seeing that Zhang Donglin was trapped, Yu Yuqing quickly ordered a firefight.
Within three breaths, Zhang Donglin blew himself up in despair.
Seeing that the foundation of the Zhang family was dead, Lu Zhong summoned Yu Yuqing and said: "The Zhang family's land will be left to you. I hope you will not disappoint the head of the family."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for your help!" Yu Yuqing said, cupping his fists.
Regarding Lu Zhong, who is very close to Feng'er, the Yu family has a very complicated mentality. On the one hand, they enjoy the development dividends of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce brought by Lu Zhong, but at the same time they are unwilling to let the family become a vassal. As a result, the family has become unstable. As a result, rifts gradually developed and they began to divide into two factions.
There are two factions: maintaining the status quo and deposing Yu Feng'er.
Although anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that the prosperity of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce and even the Yu family is based on Lu Zhong's military support, some people in the Yu family just can't understand.
"Maybe it's time to clean up when we go back..." Yu Yuqing thought silently.
He belongs to the faction that maintains the status quo. He is a vested interest in Yu Feng'er's retaking the Chengde Chamber of Commerce and successfully building the foundation by obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill. Naturally, he wants to support Yu Feng'er.
On the other side, Lu Zhong had found Zhang Xiyun's trace, so he released the wood spirit wind boat and chased him straight to the north.
The tracking process lasted for more than half a month.
Along the way, he kept encountering abandoned Zhang family members. Apparently, between his own life and his clan members, Zhang Xiyun still considered himself more important, perhaps with the idea of coming back for revenge after successfully forming the pill.
But how could Lu Zhong do what he wanted?
Finally, on a grassland with blooming dill flowers, Lu Zhong saw Zhang Xiyun, who had been running away for a long time.
Zhang Xiyun is indeed the Zhang family’s pill-forming seed.
He was a very good-looking man. He was an elegant middle-aged man with a clean temperament. He gave people the impression of a virtuous man. When he saw Lu Zhong chasing after him, he had already drawn a long blue sword.
"It's a low-grade spiritual weapon." Lu Zhong said softly.
He was not surprised at all.
After all, Zhang Xiyun is the only hope of the Zhang family. It is normal to have a spiritual sword to protect oneself, but it is abnormal to not have it.
Looking at Lu Zhong who was chasing him, Zhang Xiyun's expression darkened.
Lu Zhong arrived so quickly that he subconsciously thought that someone from the Zhang family had betrayed him, otherwise he would not have arrived here on his own, and the pursuers would have arrived immediately.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, how about we make a deal?"
As he spoke, he threw several storage bags on his body to the ground one by one.
"The relationship between Taoist friends and the Yu family is nothing more than a cooperative relationship of exchange of interests. Competing among the same rank will inevitably lead to life danger. If Taoist friends are willing to let Xiyun leave, then all the Zhang family's assets belong to Tao..."
Before Zhang Xiyun could finish speaking, Lu Zhong had already taken action.
How stupid!
Kill you.
The things are still mine!
He waved his left hand forward, and a red shadow flashed away.
Zhang Xiyun's face was ugly. He didn't expect Lu Zhong to be so decisive.
Seeing that the negotiation failed, he immediately controlled the green vine spirit sword in his hand and suddenly attacked Lu Zhong not far away, using all his strength to attack.
As a fake elixir realm monk, he is not afraid of Lu Zhong, who is only in the late stage of foundation establishment. But at the same time, he also knows very well that since the opponent can kill the famous sword cultivator Ma Cheng, his strength must not be comparable to that of ordinary monks. He should be comparable to Changchun. Gu Zhenchuan has the same level of combat power.
With a flash of thought, he controlled the Ivy Spirit Sword to execute several sword techniques.
"Clang Clang Clang!!!"
In a very short period of time, Lu Zhong's makeup burst out one after another, continuously breaking the sword light emitted by the sword technique.
Immediately, blessing the star-pulling technique.
The red makeup left a long trail, which went straight to the head on Zhang Xi's neck.
At the same time, his hands were not idle, he had already sacrificed the dragon and tiger flag, and transformed into a cloud, dragon, wind and tiger barrier to protect himself, so as to prevent the other party from playing tricks and being suddenly attacked.
The two of them fought for only ten breaths, and the desert grassland seemed to be hit by a disaster.
The ground was in a mess, and even the mud beneath the ground was blown up.
The more Zhang Xiyun fought, the more frightened he became. Although he clearly had the advantage in cultivation, he was still gradually falling behind. At this time, he had to think about how to get out, because if he didn't leave while he still had enough energy, he would have to wait until the true energy in his body was consumed. It's almost the same, I'm afraid I really have to explain it here.
"Want to leave?"
Not far away, Lu Zhong's lightning flashed in his hand, and several palm thunders were blasted out one after another.
Boom, boom, boom!
Thunder and lightning struck one after another, leaving Zhang Xiyun with no hope of escape and had to continue fighting.
Ge Leng Leng!
Sparks exploded, Zhuang Hong was held in Lu Zhong's hand, and he slashed at the ridge of the blue spirit sword with great force. Zhang Xiyun's face changed drastically when he saw the sword clearly.
"Zhuanghong, you killed Madam Butterfly!"
At this moment, the horror in his heart could no longer be described in words.
The red makeup is Madame Butterfly’s signature magic weapon.
Now that this sword is owned by Lu Zhong, it is self-evident what it means.
"puff!"
Zhang Xiyun lost his mind and was stabbed in the left shoulder with a knife.
However, he was also a ruthless character. He immediately took out a personal elixir and put it into his mouth. His aura suddenly surged, and he almost wanted to be directly comparable to the golden elixir.
Potential-stimulating elixirs like this are undoubtedly not the medicine of tigers and wolves. They will damage the foundation. But at this moment, he can't take care of so much. Lu Zhong can even kill Madam Butterfly, but he can't deal with himself?
The cuffs were raised, and talismans flew out like raindrops.
This is Zhang Xiyun's last resort. He can't escape even if he does this.
Then, he will die here today.
The aura exploded, and the sky was filled with colors for a moment!
Whenever a talisman is activated, it can create quite a buzz.
Either a huge firebird with blazing heat, or an ice cloud suddenly appeared, shooting out dense ice spears, or a golden giant sword shot out.
All of them are second-level talismans, which have been collected by the Zhang family over the years.
Lu Zhong was also shocked at first.
As we all know, the Qiankun Throw has always been extremely powerful.
But he quickly realized that Zhang Xiyun was not a talisman cultivator of Hua Yi Guan. Using the talisman indiscriminately like this was simply a waste of talismans. As long as he calmed down and avoided it, there was almost no possibility of being injured.
Thinking like this, Lu Zhong controlled the dragon and tiger flags to resist, but still let Zhang Xiyun escape. Without any anxiety in his heart, he secretly sneered: "Escape, if the scene comes back to you, you will definitely die after all!"
When the power of the talisman dissipated, he directly released the wind boat, determined the direction and pursued it.
At this moment, Zhang Xiyun saw Lu Zhong chasing after him, and he didn't care about his magic power. He activated the secret flying technique of Gu Hong Lian Guang and suddenly accelerated his speed, hoping to use this to get rid of Lu Zhong.
"Gene Era"
But the wood spirit wind-controlling boat is not a vegetarian. After activating the wind-controlling magical power, its speed increases again and again.
Finally, Zhang Xiyun was forced to stop in a dense forest with miasma.
"Why do fellow Taoists rush to kill them all? As long as you are willing to swear to let me go, the two auxiliary elixir-forming spiritual objects in this storage bag, the Condensation Fruit and Jade Liquid Marrow, as well as the previous assets, will all belong to fellow Taoists!"
"These things are worth millions and are the hard work of generations of Zhang family. If fellow Taoist does not agree, then I will destroy them even if I die. Please consider carefully how to choose, fellow Taoist."
Zhang Xiyun's true energy was exhausted at this moment, and he knew that he had no power to fight anymore, so he had no choice but to negotiate again.
When he said this, he stared at Lu Zhong.
As long as Lu Zhong didn't agree, he was really planning to destroy the storage bag.
Since I can't live, I will make you sick even if I die!
Lu Zhong looked at him, the coldness in his eyes faded away, as if he was really thinking.
He didn't have much doubt about Zhang Xiyun's words.
But compared to the "millions of money", he still wanted Zhang Xiyun to die to avoid the possibility of being killed by Jin Dan Zhenren in the future.
Seeing Lu Zhong's silence, Zhang Xiyun laughed sadly.
Immediately, spiritual light burst out from his body.
He chose to blow himself up.
"Boom!"
A fake alchemy monk self-destructed. Although the power was not as terrifying as the golden elixir nuclear explosion, and the true energy in his body was on the verge of depletion, the power of the self-destruction was still terrifying, razing the dense forest within a hundred feet to the ground.
After the aftermath subsided, Lu Zhong, who looked thoughtful, came closer.
Examining the pits on the ground, I sadly discovered that there really was nothing left.
But he didn't care either.
Since the Chengde Chamber of Commerce wins this time, subsequent spiritual stones will continue to fall into his mouth. The two pill-forming spiritual objects just now only cost up to 100,000, and he can buy them after saving for three to five years.
Seeing that the matter was over, Lu Zhong felt a big stone in his heart, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said:
"Phew, I can finally practice quietly!"
