Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family-Chapter 762: Crumbling, Beast Taming Xu Family Annihilated! (4)
Subsequently, the five people activated their life-saving talismans and fled in a flash, soaring into the sky.
“Boom boom boom!”
The protective barrier shattered loudly, and the four spiritual beasts couldn’t even let out a whine before their bodies exploded, blood splattering across the sky.
As the five members of the Xu Family were about to reach the cliff, they saw a young man in a black robe and a bound crown standing above them.
Beside the young man stood a tall metal puppet, wielding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.
Above their heads, a giant hammer, as large as a person and shrouded in purple lightning arcs, exuded a terrifying aura.
“Boom!”
The purple giant hammer, faced with the five men, struck directly downwards, engulfing them like a vast ocean of purple lightning.
“Talisman treasure!?”
The five cultivators, seeing the giant hammer with purple lightning arcs, had their faces drastically change in horror.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ping’an had an accomplice and, in such a situation, even produced a talisman treasure to await them.
“Why have we, the Xu Family, offended you!?”
The five men shouted desperately, their expressions hopeless as they tried to counter the talisman treasure’s assault.
But at that moment, Lu Ping’an looked at them again and threw another punch.
“Boom boom boom!”
Facing such an onslaught, within an instant, the five individuals were blasted into a horrific mist of blood from both sides.
“Big brother, with this combat power, I suppose no one in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm could be your match.”
Lu Quanzhen said somewhat emotionally.
He had been supporting Lu Ping’an earlier and was surprised to see that the other side didn’t use talismans but directly countered the Xu Family’s five members with his physical body alone.
He couldn’t help but feel that only Foundation Establishment cultivators were qualified to confront someone like Lu Ping’an who performs body cultivation.
Because, for Energy Refining cultivators, even the best among them couldn’t break through the defense nor had any way to do so.
“Quanzhen, if we kill too many inside this secret realm, I’m afraid it might easily lead to trouble.”
“Moreover, when the secret realm ends, we need to turn in our findings, and if we harvest too much, it could also attract unwanted attention.”
Lu Ping’an said to his younger brother, thinking he intended to loot openly in the secret realm.
Initiating an attack on the Xu Family already had some justifiable reasons.
But to rob others of their findings, that was something he wasn’t willing or capable of doing.
“Hehe, big brother, I understand.”
Lu Quanzhen smiled and nodded, knowing well the kind and generous nature of his older brother.
Previously, when the two encountered other cultivators on the outskirts, as long as the others didn’t attack first, Lu Ping’an would definitely not initiate conflict.
Sometimes, when he saw an opportunity to attack, he would simply let it go.
The two processed the remains of the five people and their spiritual beasts, picking up the magic artifacts and storage bags, then returned to the cave to sort through these bags.
As Lu Quanzhen had guessed, the harvesting of the five members of the Xu Family was indeed substantial.
Among them were not only several kinds of spiritual medicines that needed to be submitted, but also three Heavenly Spirit Fruits!
“It seems that the Xu Family, with this kind of family force, must know some coordinates in the Purple Shadow Mountain where rare spiritual herbs are abundant.”
Lu Quanzhen speculated based on the earlier situation.
Moreover, as a family of clan cultivators like the Beast Taming Xu Family, they certainly had seized other people’s spiritual herbs and medicines, thus enabling such substantial findings.
“Big brother, since we have to submit fifty percent when we exit, I see here are quite a few spirit medicines effective for the physical body and energy, why don’t you take them all to boost yourself?”
While Lu Quanzhen and Lu Ping’an were sorting the storage bags, Lu Quanzhen suddenly spoke up.
He had originally planned to meet up with Lu Qingshan near the end of their time in the secret realm and give him some spoils to carry out.
After all, Lu Qingshan had a Nascent Soul master.
Even if the spoils were generous, nobody would dare say anything.
But now, their finding was indeed astonishing, so they might as well use some.
“Moreover, if we submit too many spirit medicines later, it might also invite trouble, so it’s better if you take more, big brother.”
Lu Quanzhen continued.
In his view, submitting a pile of spirit medicines was genuinely less beneficial than using them to enhance one’s cultivation level.
Moreover, the family was currently relying on their father and several maternal aunts back at White Tiger Mountain, which lacked Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Though he and Lu Qingshan could break through to Foundation Establishment within a few years,
Lu Quanzhen had long planned that once he achieved Foundation Establishment, he would venture out to strive for Core Formation as soon as possible!
With himself away and Lu Qingshan far in Yu Country’s Jinyang Sect, Lu Wangshu would need at least a decade more to grow.
That left only his big brother at home!
Therefore, he felt it was quite important for the other to enhance his strength.
“Uh…”
Lu Ping’an found the idea reasonable.

However, seeing so many spiritual medicines, he thought about consuming them directly but felt it would be a waste.
After all, each of these spiritual medicines could be worth hundreds of spirit stones if put on the market.
Before he could speak, Lu Quanzhen pulled out a bunch of spirit herbs and medicines from the storage bags and handed them to Lu Ping’an, indicating he would eat them too.
Hearing this, the brothers began gnawing on spiritual medicines inside the cave.
Were anyone to witness this scene, they would surely curse them for their reckless wastefulness!
…
Outside the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.
“It seems Ping’an has encountered great fortune within the secret realm, not only has his cultivation level broken through to the Eighth Level of Energy Refinement, but his Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art has also advanced!”
Lu Changsheng, through system feedback, knew of his son’s multiple breakthroughs and was amazed.
After all, just a year ago, Lu Ping’an had only broken through to the Seventh Level of Energy Refinement and the fifth layer of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.
Now, within only one year, he had made double breakthroughs.
Especially to the sixth layer of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art!
With Lu Ping’an’s Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art breaking through to the sixth layer, his own Treasure Body Technique had also significantly improved.
It was almost reaching the peak of the eighth layer!
He planned to give Lu Ping’an the halberd magic artifact he and Li Feiyu had obtained, once he returned home from the secret realm.
After all, as a father, one naturally thinks of their children first when it comes to good things.
Giving this damaged magic artifact to his children for cultivation would benefit them both—effectively a double gain.
“At this rate, perhaps my body refinement will reach the Third Rank even faster than my cultivation level…”
Lu Changsheng thought privately.
When he had broken through to Foundation Establishment, his Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art had just advanced to the third layer not long before.
But now, the Treasure Body Technique had overtaken it.
“Just waiting for Quanzhen and Qingshan to break through Foundation Establishment.”
Lu Changsheng was hopeful, feeling more and more optimistic about the future.
“Buzz!”
Just then, a wave of Core Formation Spiritual Pressure suddenly spread through the air, overwhelming and terrifying like mountains, shaking all Foundation Establishment Cultivators present.
They all opened their eyes wide and looked up into the sky, unsure of what was happening.
“Oh, what’s gotten into Patriarch Xu, to lose composure like this?”
“Could it be that something unfortunate has happened to his descendants inside the secret realm?”
One of the False Core Patriarchs from the Shangguan Family, one of the three great Nascent Soul noble families of Jiang Country, said with a laugh upon seeing Patriarch Xu’s demeanor.
Although the three great families were all family forces, their relationship was not very good.
There were frequent frictions over interests, making it a clear struggle both openly and covertly.
“Hmph, Old Ghost Shangguan, this matter does not need your concern.”
Patriarch Xu said coldly, his expression dark as he contained the leaking False Core Spiritual Pressure.
His storage bag had contained five soul plates, which had all just shattered!
This meant that all ten of the Xu Family descendants had died within the Purple Shadow Secret Realm!
Three hundred years ago, their family had allowed their descendants to explore the secret realm, resulting in an accident where only one survived. Afterward, they established rules.
Upon entering the secret realm, they must band together immediately and must not act alone.
Since then, their family had not suffered casualties of more than half.
But this time, all ten descendants had died in the secret realm!
This incident was not only a loss of the secret realm’s harvest for the Beast Taming Xu Family, but it was also a severe blow to the family’s reputation and prestige!
“Is it Qingyun Sect deliberately suppressing my Xu Family, or is it the Shangguan Family, or perhaps the Four Great Immortal Sects…”
Patriarch Xu speculated in his heart, suspecting some forces were targeting his family.
After all, aside from the Four Great Immortal Sects and a few other major Core Formation forces, who could completely annihilate his descendants!
Just as their family patriarch had previously been heavily injured in a beast tide, his condition was unclear.
At this time, other families might be trying to probe their family’s stance through this manner, thereby deducing the condition of their patriarch.
“Who exactly it is, we shall know once the secret realm concludes and we see the situations of the other families,”
Patriarch Xu said calmly, standing on the divine vessel.
Now that all his descendants had died in the secret realm, he could very well leave directly.
But this matter was not only embarrassing but also concerned probing by other families.
If he couldn’t discern which family was responsible, it would be difficult to explain upon returning!
