Chapter 389 - 364: One Person Against One Feudal Lord_1

"Old hag, you still want to seek revenge? Let me send you on your way first," Lu Yan said, his eyes cold and indifferent. His spiritual sense locked onto Mother-in-law Wandu as he aimed a Destroying Demon Arrow straight at her.

Swish!

The Destroying Demon Arrow traversed a distance of ten li in an instant and flew towards Mother-in-law Wandu’s brow.

Under sheer force of terror, Mother-in-law Wandu instinctively grabbed a Primordial Spirit of the First Turn high-ranking expert from the Fang Family and threw him upfront, while vaulting back herself. She set up layers of defense in front of her, manifesting her Primordial Spirit Manifestation.

"Ancestor, no..."

The Primordial Spirit of the Fang Family let out a terrified scream as he was thrown.

With a soft thud, the Destroying Demon Arrow pierced through him and continued its trajectory towards Mother-in-law Wandu, colliding with her Primordial Spirit Manifestation.

Even Mother-in-law Wandu’s Primordial Spirit couldn’t stop the Destroying Demon Arrow; it pierced through her immediately, continuing forward and penetrating the nine-layered defense she set up and blowing up her arm.

Narrowly dodging the attack, Mother-in-law Wandu turned and ran. But then a Big Tree Phantom Image descended from the sky and charged into her spiritual mind.

Ever since Lu Yan had appeared, Mother-in-law Wandu had retreated her Primordial Spirit into her physical body, but her Soul Power was far inferior to Lu Yan’s.

If it were Zhuo Kunsheng or Jian Wuji, high-ranking beings, hiding their Primordial Spirit in their bodies, Lu Yan wouldn’t be able to harm them much, and the impact on them would be minimal.

But Mother-in-law Wandu, no way.

Bang!

The Big Tree Phantom Image exploded in Mother-in-law Wandu’s sea of consciousness, creating Soul Shockwaves that enveloped her entire being.

Mother-in-law Wandu’s Primordial Spirit tucked deep within her physical body, escaped being struck directly by the Big Tree Phantom Image but nonetheless, sustained significant impact. Like a candle in the wind, it flickered, having difficulty manipulating Heavenly Earth Power and causing Mother-in-law Wandu to be momentarily stupefied, unable to move.

That moment was enough for Lu Yan.

He shot another arrow, hitting Mother-in-law Wandu’s body. The terrible force tore her body apart.

Mother-in-law Wandu’s Primordial Spirit, in panic, attempted to escape, but a Big Tree Phantom Image suppressed it, obliterating her soul.

By this time, the other high-ranking experts from the Fang Family in the Primordial Spirit Realm had already fled in all directions.

"Run! Run! King Ming’s experts have arrived – save yourself if you can!"

A few voices hollered hysterically, their cries echoing throughout the core area of Mingdu Mountain.

The Fang Family members trembled in fear.

Those who were brave made a mad dash for the treasure vault, trying to take some of the treasure with them.

While those who lacked courage fled straight towards the outside of Mingdu Mountain.

"Don’t even think about escaping," Lu Yan snorted coldly as figures flickered around him. In an instant, fifteen Martial Arts Avatars dashed in all directions, surrounding the core area of Mingdu Mountain.

Lu Yan’s soul covered a radius of two hundred li, and within this radius, he was aware of every move made by members of the Fang Family.

With steps that tread on starlight, Lu Yan rushed towards an old man. This man was the second most influential figure in the Fang Family, a Primordial Spirit of the Fifth Turn high-ranking expert.

But this was someone who still fell short when compared to top-tier experts.

After three steps, Lu Yan had caught up with him and fired an arrow.

With this arrow, Lu Yan still used the Destroying Demon Arrow.

The old man could not even withstand a single arrow. He was blown away, both his Primordial Spirit and his physical body annihilated.

Swish!

After killing the old man, without stopping for a moment, Lu Yan rushed to kill another Primordial Spirit of the Fourth Turn expert, still, with a single shot.

Lu Yan’s figure flickered among the members of the Fang Family. Every appearance signified the death of a Primordial Spirit Realm practitioner.

Fourteen Primordial Spirits of the Fang Family had been summoned back to Mingdu Mountain.

Upon those initially involved in discussions, five more were defending at five crucial spots.

Soon, all nine Primordial Spirits involved in the discussions were slain by Lu Yan without a single one escaping.

Counting the one initially stationed at the nine-layered Formation Tower, ten Primordial Spirits of the Fang Family had been killed by Lu Yan.

The remaining four dared not linger; they fled for their lives.

One of them, a woman in her thirties, was defending at the perimeter of the formation. The moment she sensed something was wrong, she began to run. Soon, she was about to escape the area covered by Lu Yan’s soul.

But a robust figure appeared before her.

"Mercy..."

The woman pleaded.

Swish!

The robust figure flashed, and a leg, like a shooting star, struck the woman’s head.

This woman, a Primordial Spirit of the First Turn, had her head exploded like a watermelon, her soul annihilated under the starlight.

This figure was indeed the Star Leg Avatar, known for its incredible speed.

The other three Fang Family Primordial Spirit Realm experts also encountered Lu Yan’s God-level Martial Arts Avatars respectively.

Among these three, the strongest was only a Primordial Spirit of the Second Turn. Even fighting desperately, they were no match for Lu Yan’s God-level Martial Arts Avatar and were easily killed.

Thus, all fourteen Primordial Spirits of the Fang Family, were obliterated.

"Run..."

By now, the entire Fang Family was in chaos.

Countless people were fleeing in all directions.

In the east, a group of several dozen people, all Fang Family elites, were trying to escape. Among them was Fang Xuansha.

Bang!

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky, landing hard on the ground. The earth roared, and debris flew about.

A figure, like a demon god, walked out of the smoky dust.

"This road is not open."

The robust figure grinned.

"It’s you, Lu... Lu Yan..."

Fang Xuansha shouted in alarm, his face turning pale.

This figure was none other than Lu Yan’s Yanluo Golden Body Avatar.

"Fang Xuansha, hehe, the enmity of that day, let’s settle it today," said Lu Yan.

The Avatar of Yanluo Golden Body made a heavy step, his burly figure rushed towards Fang Xuansha like a small mountain.

"Block him, block him for me..."

Fang Xuansha retreated frantically.

However, others weren’t stupid enough to challenge Lu Yan’s terrifying aura, they scattered and fled.

The Avatar of Yanluo Golden Body grabbed a handful of stones and threw them out vigorously.

Whistling sounds filled the air...

Ordinary stones in the hand of Yanluo’s Golden Body became the deadliest weapon, even masters of True Body Seventh Refinement couldn’t withstand the attack.

In an instant, twelve elite members of Fang Family were felled, stone-pierced bodies laying in pools of blood.

"Anyone who dares to run, I will kill without mercy."

The Avatar of Yanluo Golden Body coldly declared, his left hand already grabbing Fang Xuansha’s head, lifting him up.

Fang Xuansha struggled like a chicken about to be slaughtered, his legs kick against Yanluo Golden Body’s figure to no avail.

With a squeeze of his left hand, Fang Xuansha’s head exploded, his body hanging limp from the Golden Body Avatar’s hand.

The remaining people of the Fang Family froze, no one dared to run any more.

The gap was too big, there was no escape, whoever ran would die.

"All of you retreat to the Fang’s Mansion, wait there. Your Primordial Spirits of Fang are all gone. If anyone has ill intentions, I won’t hesitate to send them on their way."

Lu Yan said coldly, his gaze piercing like electricity as it scanned the crowd.

The people of the Fang Family looked ghostly pale, like they had lost their souls.

But they had no choice but to obey and retreat to the Fang’s Mansion.

"Retreat to Fang’s Mansion..."

"Retreat to Fang’s Mansion..."

The voice of Lu Yan’s Martial Arts Avatar echoed from all directions of Mount Mingdu.

His spiritual sense enveloped them, and with the flexible deployment of fifteen Martial Arts Avatars, nobody from the Fang Family escaped, they were all caught and dispatched back to the Fang’s Mansion.

Meanwhile, the true body of Lu Yan stood in the sky above the mansion, intimidating all directions.

He did not continue to take action.

The upper hierarchy of the Fang Family couldn’t be spared. They must be completely eradicated to prevent future trouble.

But he didn’t need to be the one to do it.

He wasn’t bloodthirsty. Killing a batch of Fang Family’s Primordial Spirits was enough.

The rest could be handled by others.

The days rolled on.

The people of the Fang Family lived in fear, waiting like doomsday prisoners for their judgement.

Seven days later.

A rumbling sound!

In the distance, an army that stretched as far as the eye could see appeared on the horizon.

The army of Chu Long had arrived.

One of Lu Yan’s Martial Arts Avatars flew to Chu Long and gave him a brief report of the events at Mingdu Mountain.

Chu Long was astonished by the news.

He believed that Lu Yan alone could flatten the Fang Family, but was utterly astonished that he could blockade the entire Fang Family in Mingdu Mountain single-handedly.

However, Lu Yan’s actions had repeatedly shattered Chu Long’s perceptions, leaving him somewhat numb. After a brief moment of astonishment, he regained his composure and ordered his troops to surround Mount Mingdu.

He personally led his elite forces into the Fang Family’s main mansion and apprehended everyone there.

"General Lu, how should we deal with the people of Fang?" Chu Long consulted Lu Yan.

"How do you think they should be dealt with?" Lu Yan counter-asked.

"The Fang Family are experts in poisons. Their methods are elusive and hard to guard against. If we leave anyone, the trouble would be endless. My suggestion is to root out the direct members of the Fang Family, and spare those of other surnames."

Chu Long replied.

"Then, let’s act according to your plan."

Lu Yan nodded.

"Okay," Chu Long nodded, then smiled and said, "General Lu is still kind-hearted. I’ll take on the role of the executioner."

Chu Long stood up and walked out.

Heads rolled as the direct members of the Fang Family were exterminated overnight.

Subsequently, he announced to the various areas in Jinzhou, began rectifying the armed forces.

With the Fang Family annihilated, no one dared to resist in Jinzhou, they all surrendered.

The Fang Family had an elite force of one hundred thousand troops. There was basically no resistance this time, most of them were well preserved.

However, Lu Yan’s Lingdong Army only had ten thousand troops.

It was too difficult to manage one hundred thousand elite soldiers with only ten thousand troops.

Even if Lu Yan disintegrated the Fang Family’s army and incorporated the mid-to-high-ranking officers of Lingdong army into it as their mid-level leaders, it was still hard to fully control them.

In the end, this world is dominated by martial arts, where power is paramount.

The Lingdong Army lacked high-level experts who could control the situation.

At the top level, with Lu Yan himself presiding over, naturally, no one dared to rebel. But if he wanted to use the hundred thousand troops freely and smoothly transmit military orders, he alone could not do it.

He needed officers at all levels.

Left with no other choice, Lu Yan had to borrow contingent from Chu Long.

Chu Long was really generous and lent fifty thousand troops to Lu Yan, including several dozen True Body Realm experts and one Primordial Spirit Realm General.

Lu Yan was quite satisfied.

With fifty thousand troops from the Mansion of King Ming, coupled with the ten thousand Lingdong Army, it was enough to intimidate everyone.

Given time, Lu Yan’s direct core cultivation would be elevated, and the power left by the Fang Family could be firmly grasped in his hands.
