Chapter 16: Heroic Act

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The image of Lu Mingsi, whose entire face had been covered in blood, chasing after multiple cultivators alone was very jarring and exceptionally intense.

The unaffiliated cultivators could not run fast with someone chasing after them. This was especially so since Lu Mingsi summoned his magic sword and frequently attacked them from behind. It forced them to avoid the attack at all times.

Do you not want your life?! someone shouted toward the back exasperatedly.

Everyone could see that Lu Mingsi was in poor condition after being heavily beaten just now. Even though the Suppression Jade Plate had deflected most of the damage from the various magic equipment, a good portion of the impact had seeped through and severely damaged his organs. At the same time, as a piece of magic equipment that Lu Mingsi had bonded to, the Suppression Jade Plate also inflicted damage to its user when it was damaged at the end of that battle.

Under such a situation, the severe injuries Lu Mingsi had sustained would further worsen if he chased after the group and manipulated his magic sword to stop them.

He had disregarded his life.

Some of the cultivators became anxious. They released their magic equipment and attacked Lu Mingsi. A small hammer smashed into his head and caused blood to ooze out, while a silk belt wrapped itself around his left leg and fractured his kneecap.

Lu Mingsi stumbled onto the ground. He felt the pain on his head, from his broken bones, and from his organs and meridians All of the pain combined caused his thoughts to become murky.

However, he continued to crawl forward while he was on the ground, bringing along a blood-colored trail.

He would not be able to catch up to the cultivators. There was no way that he could be faster than the cultivators while he was crawling on the ground. His consciousness had turned hazy. He was holding on with a streak of stubbornness. It was that stubbornness that caused him to do something like that.

The other unaffiliated cultivators in the public market witnessed the scene. The spectators could not bear to look on when they saw Lu Mingsi's actions.

The cultivation world was merciless. All of them had blood in their hands. However, what touched them was not the merciless image, but the attitude displayed and actions made by the cultivator of the Lu Clan. It made their hearts shake.

At the same time, shouts and furious roars came from the front.

The cultivators of the Lu Clan had arrived.

Even though none of the cultivators who were permanently stationed at Pingyao County was at the Foundation Building Stage, there were two ninth-tier Qi Refining cultivators.

One of them was called Lu Chaojun. He was Lu Qing's fifth son. The other was called Lu Ranting. She was a female cultivator and Lu Xiachao's daughter. Lu Xiachao was Lu Qing's third child and did not marry out of the family. Instead, she married an unaffiliated cultivator and took him into the clan. The child she gave birth to took on the surname Lu and was a member of the Lu Clan.

That child was Lu Ranting. Even though she was already 68, she still looked like a young lady. She looked incredibly charismatic as she manipulated a peachwood sword. None of the unaffiliated cultivators was a match for her. They were all captured by the other three cultivators of the Lu Clan.

Lu Mingsi looked up at the scene. His blood-covered mouth finally broke into a smile. He then fainted.

After imposing a restrain and trapping the unaffiliated cultivators, the four cultivators from the Lu Clan immediately rushed over. They were all furious when they saw Lu Mingsi's pathetic state.

Mingwei, have a look at your Big Brother.

The term Big Brother implied that Lu Mingsi was the oldest out of everyone from the Ming generation.

Lu Mingwei trained mainly on Water Elemental Techniques, which had healing properties. He formed a hand gesture and quickly summoned a field of fog. He covered Lu Mingsi's body with the fog.

After waiting silently for a few minutes, Lu Ranting asked, How's Mingsi's condition?

Lu Mingwei wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, His life is not in danger, but his condition is not great. He might not be able to do battle if he does not recuperate for eight to ten years. Furthermore, he might have damaged his core 1

The expressions of the three other cultivators from the Lu Clan sunk.

To a cultivator, especially low-level cultivators, damaging their core was equivalent to having a dark future. Even if a cultivator kept their lives after damaging their core, they might end up in such a state. Those who had their core severely damaged would have their cultivation completely shattered, while those who sustained light injuries would also face obstructions when it came to training. No matter the case, it would affect the cultivator's Core Lifespan.

The situation might take a turn for the better if they received the appropriate treatment immediately, but without precious treasures or special opportunities, it was extremely difficult to regain whatever they had lost.

Take Mingsi back to the abode. Take this bunch of bastards back too!

The cultivators of the Lu Clan acted silently. However, it was easy to see the fury in their faces.

The Zhao Clan had to pay the price for this.

The spectators in the area only scattered after all of the cultivators from the Lu Clan left. A cultivator with aged features let out a long sigh as he said, It's going to be turbulent in Pingyao County again.

Lu Qing knew about the incident while he was rushing back to Yuyan Mountain.

No one told him. An interface had sprung out from the system.

[Level One Achievement Reward, Heroic Act]

[Clan member Lu Mingsi disregarded his life and was not afraid of sacrificing himself to protect the clan. He had done a heroic act and caused a certain impact.]

[Reward: 5 Karma]

Lu Qing's flying speed did not become slower when he saw this news. He deliberated about this matter in his heart.

He found Lu Mingsi on the Population tab and tapped open his detailed information.

[Name: Lu Mingsi]

[Age: 34]

[Parents: Lu Tinghua, Wang Zhaomin]

[Status: Heavily injured, Core Lifespan damaged]

[Level: Fifth-tier Qi Refining Stage]

[Talent]

[Techniques]

[Spells]

[Treasures]

The price for that heroic act was huge.

He knew who Lu Mingsi was. He was one of the cultivators who had been guarding the back side of the mountain when he had just woken up, obtained the system, and floated out of the chamber. He was also Lu Weiwen's father.

This lad must have headed to Pingyao County to sell the Water-Spirit Horse King.

He was heavily injured and had his Core Lifespan damaged. Lu Qing immediately judged that Lu Mingsi had damaged his core based on those two points. It had also happened because he battled someone else. Coupled with the explanation of the heroic act, he must have done so to protect the Water-Spirit Horse. He must have done battle to protect the interests of the Lu Clan.

Pingyao County It must have been the Zhao Clan Damn it. I haven't come looking for trouble, yet you guys are trying to provoke me?

Lu Qing was furious. He desperately wanted to transform into a Golden Core cultivator and annihilate the Zhao Clan.

He suppressed the fury in his heart and accelerated.

After he returned to the chamber, he immediately sent a voice transmission to Lu Chaohe and got him to come over.

Currently, the injuries of the leader of the clan, Lu Chaoxi, had significantly been healed due to the effects of Level One Injury Treatment. He also took advantage of the opportunity and had closed himself in to recuperate. He wanted to recover from his injuries within a year completely. Thus, Lu Qing did not bother him.When Lu Chaoxi was not around, the matters of the clan were dealt with by Lu Chaohe. He also knew that Lu Qing was awake. There would not be any problems if Lu Qing sent him a voice transmission.Lu Chaohe rushed over and awaited his father's instructions outside the chamber.
