Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

However, it’s not just because he’s at the Middle Golden Core Realm, but also because he has a title, known as Red Fire Zhenren.

A renowned Golden Core Zhenren of the Qi Guang Sect.

He is also the number one in the Middle Stage of Golden Core within Qi Guang Sect.

In terms of strength across the entire West Mountain Floating Domain, he ranks among the top; among those in the same realm, few can match him equally.

"Qianyue Zhenren, all is well, I hope." Red Fire Zhenren spoke warmly, as if meeting an old friend.

Longteng Qianyue was sullen, making the Dark Curtain Void Dragon advance a bit, but paid no heed to Red Fire Zhenren, instead staring at Lu Feng intently, "Lu Feng, who would have thought you dared to take this step. All I want is a justification, all I seek is the Qi Family’s industries occupied by your Lu Family, yet you invited Qi Guang Sect’s Red Fire Zhenren, careful that your Lu Family might be devoured to the bone."

Lu Feng responded calmly, "What do you mean by Qi Family’s industries? Those are my Lu Family’s industries, and now I’ve entirely offered those industries to Red Fire Zhenren as a birthday gift for his concubine’s mother’s sixtieth birthday last month, fully belonging to Red Fire Zhenren’s concubine. Red Fire Zhenren is a good man who cherishes people, so he came to receive my Lu Family’s industries with me. Qianyue Zhenren, if you have opinions, you can bring them to Red Fire Zhenren; my Lu Family’s industries now entirely belong to Red Fire Zhenren’s concubine."

"Concubine!"

Longteng Qianyue almost ground his teeth into fragments.

And last month!

"Your Lu Family beware of being eaten with not even bones left!" Longteng Qianyue glared at Lu Feng.

Red Fire Zhenren quickly followed up, laughing, "Qianyue Zhenren, perhaps old me can spar with you; you were defeated within a hundred moves last time, wonder if there has been any progress in your cultivation after thirty years."

"I have urgent matters, my concubine is due to give birth." Longteng Qianyue suddenly wanted to withdraw, not daring to linger further.

His strength was too weak compared to Red Fire Zhenren; he barely stepped into the Middle Stage of Golden Core as a Low-Rank Golden Core, whereas Red Fire Zhenren is a solid Middle-Grade Golden Core who has received the true teachings of the Qi Guang Sect ancestor. With what could he fight?

If a fight were necessary, it would be someone else from the Longteng Family, not him. The scenery changes, and the face lost today can always be reclaimed in the future.

"Your family ancestor dared to take this step; your Lu Family will cry one day." Longteng Qianyue glanced at Lu Taixuan and others, then transformed alongside the Dark Curtain Void Dragon into a Startled Swan, fleeing swiftly, not daring to linger more.

Seeing Longteng Qianyue retreat, the cultivators observing from the East Pole Immortal City were at a loss for words.

Those who predicted failure earlier could only smile wryly.

They almost forgot that the Lu Family is deeply connected to the Qi Guang Sect, and if the Lu Family ancestor hadn’t severed connections with Qi Guang Sect hundreds of years ago, the Lu Family would still be one of Qi Guang Sect’s subordinate influences.

"With Red Fire Zhenren’s arrival, Longteng Qianyue’s plan is ultimately thwarted; previous schemes were all in vain."

"Although the Qi Family industries were given away, it’s better than giving them to Longteng Qianyue; the Lu Family ancestor has shown considerable courage. Although it seems the Lu Family gained nothing, becoming the first in the East Pole Immortal City promises significant benefits later."

"What’s the difference though, with Red Fire Zhenren’s arrival, won’t the Lu Family still become Qi Guang Sect’s backyard in the future?"

"What’s absurd? Your Chen Family, a mere small Golden Core influence, dreams of becoming a subordinate of Qi Guang Sect? Not qualified. And the Lu Family has the clan mother, a descendant of the Qi Guang Sect ancestor, Qi Guang Sect surely wouldn’t devour the Lu Family."

As the crowd discussed, Lu Taixuan, Lu Hongying, and others also breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of the outcome, they ultimately forced Longteng Qianyue to retreat.

"Turns out the ancestor wasn’t in seclusion but went to Qi Guang Sect. No wonder we weren’t allowed to forcefully enter."

Lu Taixuan sighed and quickly led several elders forward to salute Red Fire Zhenren, also breathing a sigh of relief.

Though the Qi Family’s industries were given away, it’s better than letting Longteng Qianyue seize the opportunity to make trouble.

Looking back now, no wonder the ancestor’s temperament suddenly changed a few days ago; it was because they made a decision that altered the Lu Family’s fate.

"Welcome Red Fire Zhenren."

"Welcome ancestor."

Everyone bowed in unison.

...

Outside East Pole Immortal City, Longteng Qianyue had already stored the Dark Curtain Void Dragon into the beast ring, transforming into light and leaving in a hurry, almost grinding his teeth to bits, "Lu Feng, Lu Feng, back then you severed ties with Qi Guang Sect to be free from its constraints and returned everything Qi Guang Sect coveted about Lu Family; it took Lu Family decades to recover its vitality. Now because of me, you actually took the initiative to approach Qi Guang Sect."

"Fine, fine, fine!"

"I didn’t expect you to be so decisive, not even giving me a chance to cause trouble. Alright, then let me watch as your Lu Family steps into the abyss step by step. That Red Fire Zhenren is even greedier than me; let’s see how your Lu Family will satisfy him."

After secretly cursing repeatedly, Longteng Qianyue immediately communicated the matter to his family and urged the Qi Family members to withdraw quickly.

Simultaneously, Longteng Qianyue quickened his departure, worried Red Fire Zhenren might catch up.

However, as he rapidly fled, still thousands of miles away, beyond Longteng Qianyue’s Divine Sense detection range, East Spring Undying Bone quietly followed, with Wen Jiu through East Spring Undying Bone keeping a close watch on Longteng Qianyue.

Still, they did not act directly.

Firstly, having just left East Pole Immortal City—any action would surely be noticed by Red Fire Zhenren.

What Wen Jiu desired was to quietly reignite conflict between Qi Guang Sect and the Longteng Family, because even if they were exposed, Qi Guang Sect would seize this opportunity to act, especially since Lin Yingyun Mountain’s lifespan is nearing its end, but it’s best to leave no traces to avoid investigation by the Domain Lord’s Mansion afterwards.
