Chapter 234: 121: Is Lu Lang Lu Changsheng?_1
“Why is Preceptor Meng attacking the ancestor!”
“Ancestor, be careful!”
“`
Inside Red Leaf Valley, as the Chen Family Cultivators were channeling their energy to fortify the Great Formation, they were shocked to see Meng Xiaochan suddenly soar into the sky with purple flames appearing in her hands, launching an attack on Ancestor Chen.
Not only them.
Outside Red Leaf Valley, the Lu Family Ancestor, Lu Yuanzhong, and others who were breaking the formation were also startled by this scene.
They were utterly confused.
They couldn’t understand the situation with this Chen Family Preceptor.
Why she suddenly made a move against Ancestor Chen.
But they saw Meng Xiaochan conjure a cluster of purple flames between her hands.
Then, with a clap of her hands, a purple Fire Serpent formed, radiating strong mana fluctuations as it charged at Ancestor Chen.
“Preceptor Meng, what are you doing!?”
Ancestor Chen also sensed something was amiss, quickly turned around, and exclaimed in alarm upon seeing the approaching Fire Serpent.
He hastily took out an ice-blue Talisman and activated it.
In an instant, a horrifying cold wind swept out.
Seemingly freezing heaven and earth, creating multiple Ice Walls in front of him to block the Fire Serpent.
The Fire Serpent roared, rapidly melting the Ice Walls.
“Dare to hurt Lu Lang, die!”
Meng Xiaochan, her eyes filled with killing intent, looked at Ancestor Chen and shouted fiercely.
She unleashed a set of Flying Daggers, striking out swiftly.
At the same time, she slapped her Spiritual Beast bag, and a swarm of colorful bugs of various sizes buzzed out, charging directly at Ancestor Chen.
“Lu Lang? Who is this Lu Lang? Could it be someone from the Lu Family!?”
“Is Preceptor Meng possibly the Lu Family’s backup plan!?”
“The Lu Family really knows how to endure, to have planted a Foundation Building Great Cultivator in our Chen Family so early!”
“Your Lu Family has three Foundation Building Great Cultivators; you have been conceding step by step, showing weakness, it’s simply despicable and hateful!”
“We’re finished, the Chen Family is finished!”
Chen Shuisheng, the Chen Family Patriarch, and all the elders witnessed this scene and heard these words, their faces turned pale with despair.
They thought Meng Xiaochan was a mole sent by the Lu Family.
When Meng Xiaochan first came to the Chen Family, they naturally investigated her background information.
They found no connection with the Lu Family.
Moreover, they had been cautious with Meng Xiaochan, not revealing too much information.
But they never expected Meng Xiaochan would betray them at such a critical moment.
Facing the combined forces of the Lu and Bai Families — three Foundation Establishment Cultivators — the Chen Family was already struggling to defend themselves.
Now with another Foundation Building Great Cultivator turning against them and launching a surprise attack on Ancestor Chen from within, they were entirely powerless to resist.
In a flash, a wave of fear and despair spread among the Chen Family Cultivators.
“Lu Lang? Who is this?”
The Lu Family Ancestor and Lu Yuanzhong, who were grappling with the heavy hammer of the Great Formation, looked at each other, equally baffled.
They did not understand what was going on.
Who was this so-called Lu Lang?
They certainly did not know this Foundation Building Great Cultivator!
“Old Lu Ghost, I had no idea you hid so deep!”
Bai Family Ancestor, witnessing the scene not far away, was also utterly astonished.
Hearing this “Lu Lang,” he subconsciously thought that Meng Xiaochan must have been a secret pawn of the Lu Family.
This made him even more wary of the Lu Family.
Just in case he might also be targeted by the Lu Family one day.
After all, the two families had been allies for generations, without any conflicts of interest.
But if it involved fundamental interests, such relations could be severed in a heartbeat.
“It’s him!”
While everyone was puzzled about who Lu Lang mentioned by Meng Xiaochan was, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but curse silently.
He recognized the thin young man at a glance.
It was the same person who had managed to escape from him once when he had led a diversion using a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object at Nine Dragons Market.
Because he was the only one who had escaped from his clutches,
And also having invited him to explore a cave dwelling afterward, which caused the Peach Blossom Gu to indicate some romantic fortune,
Lu Changsheng had a deep memory of him.
Unexpectedly, they would encounter each other here today.
Moreover, the other party had become a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
“This Lu Lang couldn’t be calling for me, could it?”
Lu Changsheng, watching the thin young man commanding the swarm and attacking Ancestor Chen, suddenly recalled something.
That was, back at Nine Dragons Market, a girl in a purple dress had attacked him out of nowhere, laying a Gu on him.
But at that time, he hadn’t understood why.
Where had he offended her?
Now, seeing this thin young man, he suddenly had a guess, an intuitive feeling.
The person before him, the thin young man, was actually the girl in the purple dress.
One reason being the romantic fortune indicated through the Peach Blossom Gu, letting him know that this thin young man was actually a woman in disguise.
Another reason was that Gu and bugs were akin, and this thin young man was skilled in bug control.
“If that’s the case, does it all make sense?”
“Her sudden betrayal and attack, could it be because Ancestor Chen just attacked me?”
“If that’s the case, then the effects of that Love Gu are a bit too overbearing, aren’t they?”
Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart.
He felt it was very likely that things were as he surmised.
But he did not speak out.
After all, it was just a guess in his heart.
He was not 100% sure that the thin young man was the girl in the purple dress.
As Lu Changsheng was contemplating, Meng Xiaochan’s purple Fire Serpent had already broken through the Ice Wall and was upon Ancestor Chen.
“Detestable, utterly detestable!”
Ancestor Chen, seeing Meng Xiaochan’s murderous look, had no time to think or ask what was going on.
He brought out a crimson Flying Sword, erupting with intense mana fluctuations, and made a fierce cut at the Fire Serpent before him, splitting it in two.
But at that moment, swarms of bugs were closing in on him, a terrifying sight. He quickly formed a Spiritual Art with his hands, his robe fluttering, as billowing red flames spread out around him, resembling a sweeping Fire Cloud, annihilating the swarm.
