107 Chapter 106-end of the battle (2 in 1)
The low-level cultivators were cheering.
Some people could tell that the blue Phantom, water mist, and sword light were very different from the godly sword lightning-controlling true spell that Lu chaoxi had displayed earlier. It was a little strange. However, they still believed that this was Lu chaoxi’s doing. He might have used some kind of talisman or other means.
Otherwise, other than this initial enlightenment cultivator, who else could kill this level three snow monster?
However, Lu chaoxi knew that this was not to his credit.
He was about to f * cking die on the spot.
When he heard his father’s words, he understood that his father had made a move.
I know I was wrong, Zhenzhen. Lu chaoxi knew what his father was referring to.
“It’s good that you know you’re wrong.”
“Was it father who attacked Qianqian just now?”
“Yes.”
“What happened to you?”
Lu Qing had used the sword talisman to save Lu Tingzhou previously, even though it was only a two-star sword talisman.
At that time, Lu chaoxi was fighting a level three white Ghoul King. He had only sensed a little, but he did not dare to confirm it. He was more inclined to think that a foundation building cultivator had used some tricks. After that, he asked the six foundation building cultivators in the group, but no one recognized him.
But this time, he saw it clearly.
He saw an unremarkable talisman appear in front of him for a moment and then disappear. Then, The Blue Sword light appeared out of thin air.
Although this sword wasn’t as powerful as the godly sword lightning-controlling true spell, it was very beautiful and had a different feeling.
He could tell that the Azure sword light was a sword-controlling technique that was no less powerful than the godly sword lightning-controlling true spell, which was sealed in the talisman.
This was a sword talisman that could only be found in the more prosperous cultivation world in the South. It was definitely not used by him. According to his father, it was used by his father.
Hence, he asked.
However, Lu Qing did not intend to explain to him. He only said, ” “You don’t have to worry about that. But you have to remember, I can help you once or twice, but I can’t help you too many times. You have to learn to solve your own problems.”
“I understand.” Lu chaoxi had truly learned his lesson this time. Although it was not to the point of bloodshed, he was filled with regret at the last moment.
……
After this matter was over, Lu chaoxi led the team and moved their location slightly. Under Lu Qing’s guidance, they found a relatively safe place.
It was true that Lu chaoxi needed a relatively long period of time before he could fully recover his combat strength. Even with the help of medicinal pills, it would be best if this time was a day.
This so-called safe place was actually not very safe. There would always be white ghouls approaching. However, as long as there were no tier 3 white ghouls, they would not pose much of a threat to the entire team.
After a day’s rest, Lu chaoxi’s spiritual power had almost recovered. The group left the place and continued to search for and kill white ghouls.
It was a pity that he did not manage to find any more stage three white ghost kings.
The biggest gain was that they had found a group of level two white ghouls that were leading a group. Under Lu Qing’s guidance, they first surrounded the White ghouls from a distance and gradually narrowed the area. Then, Lu chaoxi led a small group of people to launch a frontal assault. They used the xuanyin yang lightning incantation and high-quality magic equipment within a short period of time to kill two or three level two white ghouls on the other side and scatter the enemies.
After that, Lu chaoxi led his men to chase away the White ghouls. He just had to ensure that not too many of them gathered together at the same time.
The scattered white ghouls crashed into the encirclement and were gradually annihilated.
The battle went very smoothly, especially for Lu chaoxi. He did not suffer much damage. The other cultivators took on more tasks, but the risk was not high.
In terms of battle results, except for a few stage one white ghouls that did not have the time to chase after them and ran away, the enemies could be considered to have been completely annihilated.
However, it became more and more difficult to find groups of white ghouls in the future, and they often encountered other teams.
As they communicated with each other and Lu Qing scouted from a distance, they came to the same conclusion-there should be no more stock left in the large encirclement of Huiling town. There were only a few small fries left, and they were not worth the Lu clan’s effort to deal with.
The next day, news about the Golden core cultivator and the White ghost emperor came.
The White ghost emperor had been killed. The second white ghost emperor had also broken through the defense line in Liao County and joined the battle at the end in order to provide reinforcements. However, the White ghost emperor that had advanced rashly was also eliminated.
Upon hearing this news, everyone knew that the most important part of the war that had lasted for almost a year had come to an end.
Of course, there would still be follow-up battles.
The defense line of Liao County was broken through like a sieve. After the White ginseng forest was broken through, the human cultivators were forced to give up the defense line in the north and west of Liao County and retreat to defend the interior. During this period, a large number of white ghouls swarmed in, and more than half of Liao County was caught in the flames of war.
Fortunately, the Gongsun family reacted quickly and insisted on the strategy of clearing the wilderness on Red Cliff. They directly abandoned many towns and moved those that could be moved to the rear. Those that could not be moved, they gathered the population and deployed more forces to defend.
But no matter what, the Gongsun family had suffered a great loss this time.
Out of the seven initial enlightenment cultivators, only four were left alive. It was said that nearly twenty foundation building cultivators had died in battle. The population of Liao County had been reduced by a quarter, and they had spent a large number of energy stones for the war.
These losses were very heavy for a family and a force. It not only struck a blow to the Gongsun family’s current combat power, but also their future potential.
However, to be honest, the White ghouls ‘attack South this time was already considered relatively low-intensity. Two white ghost emperors were considered the average level in the past, but the total number of white ghouls that appeared was 30 to 40 percent less than before.
What else could he say? That was the only way.
In the future, the Gongsun family would be the main force of the White ghouls ‘attack, so they would receive some help. The White sun sect and qingyou Valley would give them a certain amount of support so that they could restore Liao County’s vitality as soon as possible. Even the Qingfeng sect would provide some support.
This was how it was to help each other.
Given the situation in Xue state, there was really no need for the three famous sects to fight for power. In the Xue state, it was inevitable for the three famous sects to have some conflicts and conflicts with each other. However, on the whole, they were still cooperating.
If they didn’t work together, it would be difficult for them to survive under the pressure of the White ghouls.
……
The Lu clan earned 16000 merit points from this.
Lu Qing had also gained a new batch of karma.
[ the accumulated number of white ghouls killed has reached 500. You are rewarded with 500 karma. ]
……
[ accumulated kill of 20 stage two white ghouls. Reward: 200 karma ]
……
[ you have completed a three-star strategic mission. You are rewarded with 528 karma. ]
……
It was a pity that he did not get a new rare exchange option. However, he had gained more than 1200 karma, which was not bad.
The karma that Lu Qing had accumulated was now 2472.
This was actually not much higher than before.
Most importantly, he had used up the three-star sword talisman and three-star bewildering spell in the battle. He had spent 600 karma on these two items. He had spent more than 100 karma on some one-star and two-star exchange options to help his other clansmen. Later on, when he was worried that he did not have any powerful battle exchange options, he refreshed the page and obtained four new exchange options. However, he had spent 100 karma for this refresh.
After deducting the cost, he was only left with 2400 Yuan.
It was a pity that the accumulated number of kills for the stage three white ghouls did not reach five. The reward for the next stage would require five of them to be unlocked, which would cost 1500 karma.
Now, he had killed four level three white ghouls in total. He was only missing one more. Lu Qing would not be satisfied if he could not get such a high reward.
……
In the next six months, they would mainly be clearing out the White ghouls that had broken through the defense line and entered the country.
After the death of the two white Ghoul emperors, there were still some white ghouls surging in from the ice plains in the extreme north. However, their numbers were much fewer than before.
The focus of the Alliance Army had also shifted to rebuilding the defense lines of all parties and then annihilate all the White ghouls that had swarmed into the country.
At this point, the cultivators from the Feiyun state had completed their main support mission. They would be returning to cold wind Castle in batches in the following days. The merit points he had accumulated could also be exchanged for physical rewards within two years, or he could exchange them for spirit stones in a one-to-one ratio. Then, he could take the flying boat and leave the Xue state.
However, the cultivators of the Lu clan were not in a hurry to leave.
At Lu Qing’s request, Lu chaoxi led the eight Lu clan cultivators who were still alive and stayed in the snow state for another half a year. They formed a new team and became the last batch of reinforcements left in the Feiyun state. They participated in the extermination of the remaining white ghouls in Liao County.
The Gongsun clan expressed their gratitude. Gongsun Mei, who had met Lu chaoxi once before, even came to meet the Lu clan to express her gratitude.
This time, their meeting was different from the last time.
Lu chaoxi was already an initial enlightenment cultivator and had the battle record of killing a rank three white Ghoul King by himself. In this way, he was, of course, qualified to be on equal footing with Gongsun Mei.
Lu chaoxi still had the etiquette of a younger generation. After all, there was a difference of a hundred years. However, Gongsun Mei didn’t put on any airs of a senior, and conversed normally.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they even verbally agreed on a deal between the two families.
After all, the Xue state, especially the northeast-most Liao County, had some special products, such as winter iron and ice-leaf grass, each with different effects.
Of course, compared to the Gongsun family, the Lu family’s size was a little too big. To the Gongsun clan, the only things that the Lu clan could offer were steel ingots and energy stones spat out by the iron red bugs. Moreover, they were few in number and it was difficult for them to form a large-scale trade.
To be honest, the Gongsun family didn’t care about these things. The main reason they were willing to make such a deal with the Lu family was that they were optimistic about the Lu family’s future prospects. They felt that their future development might be very good.
The Lu family’s ancestor, who they thought was dead, might really be alive. Now that Lu chaoxi had achieved Qiming, the Lu family’s future was bright.
Lu chaoxi was still very young. He was only slightly over 120 years old. It was said that he had two spiritual roots. Based on the initial enlightenment cultivator’s 280-year lifespan, he still had more than 100 years to live. In comparison, it was almost impossible for a two-hundred-and-forty-year-old initial enlightenment cultivator like Gongsun Mei to reach the Golden core stage.
There was nothing wrong with building a good relationship.
Furthermore, the Gongsun family hoped that Lu chaoxi could help them eliminate more white ghouls in the subsequent battle in Liao County.
In the following six months, Lu chaoxi really put in a lot of effort.
This was mainly Lu Qing’s request.
As the war neared its end, Lu Qing was not willing to give up on the idea of earning more money.
The best way to make a fortune was through war.
It had been almost 15 years since Lu Qing’s awakening. He had been working on the small fields of Pingyao and anling. After more than 10 years, the clan had only produced one more foundation building cultivator. Although the clan’s income and influence had increased, it was still progressing at a relatively calm pace.
In this war, the Lu clan did not pay a high price. Only two out of the ten cultivators they sent died, but the benefits they gained in return were shocking.
There were not many opportunities for such a large-scale war. After this, he didn’t know when he would have another chance.
Now that even the White ghost emperor was dead, as long as they did not venture too deep into the Icefield, the strongest monsters they would encounter would only be Tier 3. Of course, it was still a threat to Lu chaoxi. However, with Lu Qing watching over him, it was not a big problem.
If he didn’t take the opportunity to fish for more, was he still human?
However, after the main part of the battle had ended, Lu Qing realized that it had become much more difficult to trigger missions.
In half a year’s time, it was triggered once and he earned 319 karma.
However, he had also spent more than 300 to exchange and refresh.
There was definitely no profit to be made from the tasks alone. Instead, he had spent dozens of them.
Moreover, the difficulty of completing the stage rewards would also be higher. The next stage’s total kill reward could only be unlocked with 1000 kills, and the level two white ghouls would be 50 kills.
There was no hope of reaching this number.
However, the good news was that he had obtained the reward for the second stage of the stage three white Ghoul.
Five months after the White ghost Emperor’s death, Lu Qing discovered a level three white ghost while they were on their way to the North to kill it. He called for Lu chaoxi to go and kill the White ghost.
It was still difficult for Lu chaoxi to take on the White Ghoul King alone, mainly because it would be difficult for him to seize the opportunity to unleash his ultimate move without anyone’s help.
For this, Lu Qing could only use a three-star exchange option, which cost him 350 karma.
However, what he got in return was the reward for the second phase, which was 1500 karma. It was definitely worth it.
Seeing that the benefits that could be gained in this war had basically come to an end, there was no need to continue fighting.
Then let’s stop here.
He told them that the Lu family had been fighting on the battlefield for a year and a half and had made great achievements. They had also contributed a lot to the South of the White ghouls and hoped that the recruitment could end.
The application was approved as expected.
Lu Qing had brought 500 to 600 karma with him. When he finished, he had more than 3000 karma.
The Lu clan ended the war with over 40000 merit points.
