A cultivator of the ninth level of Qi Refinement stage of the Lu Clan called out and began to surround and attack the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Each Foundation Establishment cultivator had to face the siege of eight or nine cultivators of the late stage of Qi Refinement stage.
Bang bang.
Boom boom boom.
Under the siege of a large number of cultivators, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators were quickly injured.
Regardless of whether it was the gray-clothed Daoist or the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, they quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. If this continued for a period of time, the gray-robed Daoist and the two Foundation Establishment cultivators might fall under the siege.
However, at this moment, as a large number of cultivators from the Lu Clan joined the siege, the number of cultivators operating the Grand Ziyang Formation greatly decreased, and the power of the mountain-protecting formation fell again and again.
Under the command of the array master, under the continuous attacks, another hole appeared in the Grand Ziyang Formation.
Another five Foundation Establishment cultivators seized the opportunity and charged into Mount Ziyang.
With the addition of the new force, the Lu Clan cultivators were at a disadvantage.
The cultivators who charged in attacked Mount Ziyang continuously, destroying the terrain and the structure of the mountain range. With the destruction of some array bases, the Grand Ziyang Formation shook and completely failed.
Charge!
The remaining cultivators charged into Mount Ziyang.
“Run!” A trace of despair flashed across Clan Leader Lu Tianming’s face as he shouted sternly. “Lu clan members, run for your lives.”
Actually, he did not need to say anything. Some of the clan members were already running.
“This is my punishment from the Heavens. I am guilty.”
“I am the Clan Leader, and the Lu Clan suffered a catastrophe. I’ve let down our ancestors.”
As he spoke, a trace of madness flashed across his face.
“I will fight with my life!” He took out a pill and consumed it.
This pill was known as the Skyfiend Disintegration Pill.
After consuming this pill, Lu Tianming’s Foundation Establishment ninth-level cultivation continued to rise, stepping into the Zifu stage.
However, at the same time, his Blood Qi, True Qi, and soul were all burning intensely.
He would only be able to last for 30 seconds at most before his Blood Qi was exhausted and he would die.
The other Foundation Establishment elders also consumed the Skyfiend Disintegration Pill. Their cultivations slowly increased, and they entered a desperate state.
First Elder Lu Tianyi smiled. He was about to consume the Skyfiend Disintegration Pill to fight for his life.
However, the Clan Leader’s sword struck his hand, and the pill fell to the ground. “Seventh Brother, you can’t die. Break out of the encirclement.”
Charge!
A trace of madness flashed through Lu Tianming’s eyes as he charged toward the gray-robed Daoist.
Kill!
The other Foundation Establishment Elders also went mad as they charged towards the opposing cultivators.
At the moment when the Lu Clan was annihilated, the Lu Clan Elders all erupted, burning their lives to resist the enemy and buy time for the clansmen to escape.
…
“Run!”
With a Flash, Lu Xuanji and Ye Feixue fled for their lives, heading off into the distance.
Not long ago, the Lu Clan was still the overlord of Qingshui Prefecture. With the Zifu Patriarch of the clan overseeing it, no one could challenge the clan.
However, now, it was the Lu Clan that was about to be destroyed. The clan was about to be reduced to nothingness.
The Lu Clan cultivators all scattered and broke out of the encirclement, starting to run in different directions.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Activating the Wind Escape Technique, Lu Xuanji borrowed the power of the fierce wind and continued to run.
At this moment, he was already three miles away. There was a great fire burning on Mount Ziyang. The slaughter continued, destroying everything.
Sighing, Lu Xuanji and Ye Feixue began their escape. Speed was of utmost importance.
The cultivators who attacked Mount Ziyang were mainly Foundation Establishment and Zifu disciples. There were only 31 of them.
As for the cultivators on Mount Ziyang, there were about 1,000 of them.
If they split up and ran, there was a high chance that they would escape.
These 1,000 people were distracting the enemy and giving Lu Xuanji a chance to escape.
Just thinking about the destruction of the Lu Clan was depressing.
If the Lu Clan was destroyed, many cultivators of the Lu Clan would be reduced to itinerant cultivators.
Many cultivators had poor survival abilities and had lost the protection of their clan. They might become some other peoples’ pawns or die at the mouth of Demon Beasts. The outcome was mostly bad.
The lives of itinerant cultivators were not stable, and the death rate was too high.
…
Half an hour later, the battle ended.
On Mount Ziyang, the protective formation had completely collapsed. The foundations of some important positions had already been destroyed, and some buildings were severely damaged.
Corpses were scattered on the ground. These were all cultivators from the Lu Clan. Many of the corpses were incomplete.
The gray-robed Daoist stood on the mountain peak, panting slightly. There was a wound on his chest, and there was blood on his Daoist robe. His aura fluctuated, giving off a weak feeling.
The other cultivators and bandits were also walking around, continuously attacking.
Many severely injured cultivators of the Lu Clan were killed one after another.
“Big Brother, we killed 532 cultivators of the Lu Clan, including seven Foundation Establishment cultivators, 125 cultivators of the ninth level, and 72 cultivators of the eighth level of Qi Refinement. Some of our cultivators were seriously injured, and three died in battle,” a cultivator reported.
There were about 1,500 Lu Clan cultivators, and more than 1,000 cultivators stationed on Mount Ziyang. More than 500 cultivators were killed in this battle. However, these 500 people were the elites of the Lu Clan. Most of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and there were also late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators.
In this battle, the elites of the Lu cCan were all killed, and the clan’s vitality was greatly damaged.
“How was the harvest?” the gray-robed Daoist asked.
“The medicinal garden of the Lu Clan was not destroyed. The spirit rice in the spirit field, the medicinal pills and Magic Tools in the residence treasury, and so on, are still in good condition,” said the cultivator. “These spirit medicines, spirit pills, and other things are worth at least 1.2 million spirit stones.”
“It’s only a little over 1 million spirit stones, not a lot,” the gray-robed Daoist said.
“The cultivators of the Lu Clan are not the rich landlords of the countryside. The Lu Clan makes a lot of money, but they also spend a lot of money.”
The cultivators were all from the Moonlight Clan, and they did not have many spirit stones. Similarly, the Lu Clan would not store too many spirit stones.
“However, the Lu Clan is really rich. In the Lu Clan’s treasury, there are 30 million tons of White Yang Rice and 30 Jade Marrow Ganoderma. They have already matured, and there are other spiritual herbs,” the cultivator said, his eyes were filled with joy.
Food was everything to cultivators.
White Yang Rice was high-grade spirit rice, and only cultivators could grow it. The output per acre was only 200 tonnes.
Qi Refinement cultivators had to eat at least ten tonnes of White Yang Rice every day.
This also meant that Qi Refinement cultivators had to grow at least 20 acres of spirit rice every year to provide for a year’s worth of food.
White Yang Rice was a consumable item, and it will always be needed.
As for the Jade Marrow Ganoderma, it was the main material used to refine Foundation Establishment Pills. One Jade Marrow Ganoderma was the main material, and with the addition of other medicinal materials, it could be refined into three to nine Foundation Establishment Pills.
The cultivator bandit said, “The Jade Marrow Ganoderma is the main material for Foundation Establishment Pills, but it’s difficult to take care of it. If it’s not properly taken care of, it might die. Only those large clans have the ability to cultivate high-grade spirit planters and grow large-scale Jade Marrow Ganoderma.”
“According to the number and maturity time of the Jade Marrow Ganoderma, the Lu Clan can activate the furnace once every 20 years and refine two batches of Foundation Establishment Pills. One for the clan cultivators and the other for outsiders.”
The gray-clothed Daoist asked, “Can we transplant it?”
“No, once the Jade Marrow Ganoderma takes root somewhere, it can not be transplanted. Once it is transplanted, it will die. It won’t be able to adapt to the soil and water,” said the cultivator.
“The Lu Clan is very shrewd. They left us the White Sun Rice and the Jade Marrow Ganoderma.” The gray-robed Daoist sighed.

During the fierce battle, the cultivators subconsciously avoided some medicinal gardens and treasuries to avoid losing their property during the battle
However, the cultivators of the Lu Clan were very shrewd. They did not go forward to destroy the medicinal garden or the spirit rice. They deliberately left it for the attacking cultivators.
It was not that the Lu Clan cultivators did not know to destroy these things. Instead, they wanted to use these treasures to attract the attention of the cultivators and give the clan cultivators a chance to escape with their lives.
When the mountain gate was breached, some of the attacking cultivators had to focus on fighting the Lu Clan’s Foundation Establishment and late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators. Meanwhile, some of the attackers had to take control of the medicinal garden, the warehouse, the library, and other areas.
This gave the escaping Lu Clan cultivators some time to run away..
