Chapter 49: Reporting a Case

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

Sigh We've used another one of these fire amulets

Lu Mingchao felt rather regretful while she was speaking.

The fire amulet was called the Infernal Extinction Flame. Just as Zhang Xican had expected, it was a treasure that Lu Qing left behind for his descendants many years ago. It was a Level Three high-grade amulet.

The amulet stored a technique of the same name, the Unlimited Infernal Flame Mantra, an offensive move that Lu Qing cultivated. Lu Clan's Golden Core Patriarch, Lu Qing, was also an Amulet Craftsman, which allowed him to turn his techniques into amulets and leave it for his descendants.

These were not the only treasures Lu Qing left behind for his descendants. However, as the clan faced tribulation after tribulation and became down and out, they did not have many of the treasures left after they were forced to sell or use the treasures.

Currently, the Lu Clan only had five Level Three amulets and one Level Four amulet left.

Both Lu Mingchao and Lu Chaoxi had brought along an Infernal Extinction Flame Amulet when they came to Anling City for the Foundation Building Elixir in case of any accidents popped up.

The two of them did not have too much to worry about with the two amulets in their possession. Even if an Initial Enlightenment cultivator had pursued them, he would have been defeated by the two of them if they each activated their amulets, much less a Foundation Building cultivator.

Lu Mingchao felt that they had a chance of winning when they faced Ma Sixian and his group just now and thus did not activate the amulet. They had to save their resources whenever they could.

However, since Zhang Xican wanted to be a yellow sparrow, then they had no other choice.

Activating a Level Three amulet was an extreme activity for a Foundation Building cultivator. Not only did it exhaust a large amount of spiritual strength, but also the cultivator would become too fatigued due to the heavy pressure on their mind and soul.

Lu Mingchao had not been in a good state already. Now, her head felt like it was splitting apart after she activated the Infernal Extinction Flame Amulet.

Even though the clan now had one less trump card, they at least managed to kill the enemy.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xican's White Clear Jade Tablet had also been burned to nothing. A Level Two mid-grade defensive equipment was still worth quite a bit of money.

The value of a Level Three high-grade amulet was more than 5,000 Spirit Stones. It would be a significant loss for the clan if they did not profit enough during this battle.

After the three members of the Lu Clan kept the storage bags of the four Foundation Building cultivators well, Lu Mingchao and Lu Chaoxi headed west on their flying swords. They had to return home as soon as possible.

Lu Ranting, who had been left behind, gathered the four corpses and formed an object-controlling spell mantra and then headed toward Anling City.

She had to send the corpses to the manor of the prefecture guards.

The death of four Foundation Building cultivators was not a small matter. She would invite trouble if the corpses were left as they were or if she tried to dispose of the bodies herself.

Since that was the case, she might as well drag the corpses along with her and report a case without hiding anything.

The Qingfeng Sect despised cultivators who fought among one another for personal interests within the vicinity of their territories. It was just that the world was too vast. They could not manage every single area under their jurisdiction. For example, they could only make sure that no one caused any trouble in a hundred-mile radius around Anling City, even though it was the capital of a prefecture.

The Qingfeng Sect would definitely use a Divine Questioning Amulet on her when she reported the case. The effect of the amulet would make her answer anything that was asked. She could not lie as it involved the soul. There were unique methods to avoid the effects of the amulet, but Lu Ranting was not skilled enough in that regard.

She did not have to be afraid. The Lu Clan was the party that was attacked. All she had to do was tell them what happened if the Divine Questioning Amulet were used on her.

As for revenge

They would not have a problem with the two unaffiliated cultivators. They might have a few good friends or relatives, but they would not be able to pose too much of a threat. The clans that Ma Sixian and Zhang Xican belonged to were more troublesome. However, they did not have to be too afraid. No matter how down and out the Lu Clan was, they were more powerful than the Zhang Clan and the Ma Clan.

Moreover, these two clans were rather friendly with the most powerful clan in the Anling Prefecture, the Zhao Clan. They were the Zhao Clan's lapdogs. Wouldn't it be nice for the Lu Clan to annihilate the two clans just to disturb the Zhao Clan?

After all, there would not be a difference if the relationship between Pingyao's Lu Clan and Ping'an's Zhao Clan got a little bit worse.

Lu Ranting did not try to cover up the bodies when she entered the city. Instead, she righteously dragged the four corpses into the city and attracted the attention of countless people.

Many people in the city recognized the Foundation Building cultivators. The scene attracted quite a commotion.

Several people looked on at the scene from the side. They quickly pinpointed Lu Ranting's identity.

ThisZhang Xican, Ma Sixian The other two are also famous unaffiliated Foundation Building cultivators. They're all dead?

Why would they cause trouble with the Lu Clan?

Pingyao's Lu Clan They have been down and out for several years, haven't they? Do they still have such a strong background? To think that they could kill four Foundation Building cultivators at one go

The Ma Clan is finished. They only have Ma Sixian as their Foundation Building cultivator. His son is quite a wastrel

Amidst the chatter, Lu Ranting arrived at the manor of the prefecture guards. She alerted them of her arrival and entered the hall. There was already an elder with a white mustache sitting in the hall.

The person in the hall was Qiu Wanyong. He was the Initial Enlightenment cultivator from the Qingfeng Sect and the most influential person in Anling City. The official minister that the Dayan Dynasty sent over to Anling Prefecture was more of a mascot. He spent his days holed up in his manor, narrating poems and admiring paintings. He enjoyed life and paid no attention to the official matters.

There was nothing for him to pay attention to. Even though the city was part of the Dayan Dynasty's territory in name, the word of the court had no power in a tiny place like the Feiyun State. The Qingfeng Sect was the head honcho there.

You can clearly tell me about the incident. Qiu Wanyong drank a cup of tea. His tone was calm.

Lu Ranting was not tardy. She narrated the incident from the beginning. She did not leave anything out, nor did she lie.

Qiu Wanyong took out an amulet after she was done. A ray of white light pierced into Lu Ranting's soul.

That was the Divine Questioning Amulet.

Did you lie or hide anything from your words just now?

No.

Qiu Wanyong deliberated for a moment and asked for a few details. He kept the amulet after he ascertained that there were no problems.

Miss from the Lu Clan, there are no more problems. However, you have to stay in Anling for a month. The manor of the prefecture guards will summon you for questioning at any time. You were the victims this time around. We will compensate you fairly.

Thank you, Elder. I'll take my leave.

Lu Ranting left.

She followed Qiu Wanyong's instructions and stayed in the city for a month. During this time, the manor of the prefecture guards summoned her three times to argue with the members from the Ma Clan and Zhang Clan. What she said was the truth. It was Ma Sixian, Zhang Xican, and the rest of the group who initiated the attack. The Lu Clan had the upper hand in all of the arguments.

Not only did she face no problems, but also the Ma Clan and the Zhang Clan were both fined 1,000 Spirit Stones and given a stern warning not to seek trouble with Lu Ranting.

Lu Ranting did not return to Yuyan Mountain after she sent a message to the clan.

It was about time for Little Wenen to return to the sect.

Little Wenen had only taken two years off from the sect. Qingfeng Sect was situated in the Guangyang Prefecture at the southernmost region of Feiyun State. It was 7,000 miles away. Even a cultivator would have to spend a long time traveling over to the sect.

Of course, they did not have to walk. There was a large flying ship in Anling City that headed directly toward the Qingfeng Sect. A person only had to journey for ten days on the flying ship to reach the Qingfeng Sect.

When that time came, a cultivator from the clan would bring Little Wenen over to Anling City. Lu Ranting would accompany her grandson and head to the Qingfeng Sect on the flying ship.

Lu Ranting also obtained a piece of good news from her messages with the clan. Little Wenen had reached the second tier of the Qi Refining Stage.

The clan had decent resources. Little Wenen also got sound effects from the spirit medicine like the Turtle Snake Pill, which benefited cultivators with Water Spiritual Roots.

Unfortunately, these pills could not be consumed recklessly. There was a strict time interval as to when a cultivator could consume these kinds of medicine. Otherwise, the toxins from the pill would harm them.
