Chapter 338
338 Secret Battlefront
The mute talisman isolated the sound. Lu Weiwen broke through the roof first. Like a cannonball, she smashed in with Platinum-colored spiritual force.
Lu Wenen, who was following closely behind, was not worried about his cousin’s safety at all.
A long time ago, after Lu Weiwen awakened her ‘indestructible body of Vajra’, her skin was already very rough and thick, and she was especially resistant to hits. In the past, he and his cousin had explored the Penglai divine Palace together and both of them had reached the last stage.
He himself had obtained great benefits. After coming out of the Penglai Celestial Palace, he had refined a ball of divine fire into a magic treasure that would last for half his life. In addition, he obtained a large amount of spiritual essence from it, which helped him smoothly enter the initial enlightenment stage. It would also be of great help to his cultivation career for a long time. If not for this, it would have been very difficult for him to cultivate to the third level of the initial enlightenment stage in the short period of a little more than ten years after breaking through to initial enlightenment.
Even with a heaven spiritual root and a divine-grade cultivation technique, ordinary people would not be able to do it so quickly.
However, he knew that Weiwen had obviously gained more benefits from the reflection of the divine Palace than him.
Although he didn’t know what exactly his cousin had obtained, within the family, everyone had a tacit understanding not to discuss such things with each other, no matter how close or good their relationship was.
However, not discussing it didn’t mean that they wouldn’t think about it when they had nothing to do.
He had a heaven spiritual root, but his cousin’s talent seemed to be even better than his.
Lu Wenen’s feeling was not wrong. Even though he had a heaven spiritual root, Weiwen’s talent was indeed better than his. Weiwen herself also had a golden heaven spiritual root. In addition, she also had a gold virtue spiritual body, which was something Wenen did not have. In addition to her spirit body, Weiwen also had the indestructible sword body, which was a god art that could take a beating.
He had reached the third level in ten years, but Weiwen had already entered the fourth level of the initial enlightenment stage at the beginning of this year. This speed was shocking.
What was there to worry about when Lu Weiwen was like this? As long as he could control and limit the enemy, that would be enough.
That was the truth.
When Weiwen broke into the room, she saw a green vine wrapping around two targets. Judging by their abilities, those two people were in the middle stage of the initial enlightenment stage. However, under Lu Wenen’s means, they were still unable to quickly shake off the vines that were wrapped around them.
The control effect of a divine-grade cultivation technique was not that easy to contend with.
Of course, if they were given some time, they should be able to break free. Unfortunately, the cooperation between the two siblings was still quite good. As soon as the mute talisman took effect, the vines came down, and Lu Weiwen immediately followed.
The white-gold sword released sword Qi and slashed. She wasn’t greedy and her target was the relatively weaker person.
This white-gold sword was Lu Weiwen’s Dharma Treasure. It was formed from the ball of divine fire she had taken out from the reflection of the Penglai divine Palace back then. She had mixed it with some materials. The greatest characteristic of this kind of accompanying magical treasure was that it could improve along with the strength of the cultivator. In the future, when Lu Weiwen’s cultivation level was higher, she would be able to find stronger materials. She would not need a craftsman to fuse the materials herself.
But even now, the power of the Platinum sword in her hand had already far exceeded the power of an Ordinary Level three Mystic artifact.
With this slash, the defensive Dharma artifact that the man had hurriedly activated was directly shattered. It did not have any defensive effect at all.
Fortunately, Lu Weiwen still remembered what her cousin had instructed her to do. She had not used all her strength in this attack. After breaking the magical weapon, he avoided the head and slashed at the chest. In fact, the Platinum sword didn’t even hit the opponent’s body directly. The blade was just half an inch above the opponent’s skin.
However, just because the blade did not hit him directly did not mean that there was no damage.
The sword Qi left the blade and pressed down, hitting the cultivator’s body inch by inch and destroying his body and meridians.
The initial enlightenment cultivator fell to the ground.
Lu Weiwen’s mouth twitched as she said this to Lu Wenen, who had just jumped off the roof.
Because of the mute talisman, no sound came out. However, Wenen could still tell what his cousin was saying from the shape of her mouth.
“It’s so boring.”
Wenen smiled helplessly. Then, he did not look at the remaining cultivator from the Zhao family. Instead, he looked at the one who had fallen to the ground.
After taking a look, he felt much more at ease.
The man didn’t die. The sword Qi penetrated his body and caused serious damage to his meridians. If he didn’t do anything, he might die, but with him around, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
While she was examining the man’s injuries, Weiwen had already taken care of the other guy.
The person struggled to break free from the vine’s control with great difficulty, but faced with Lu Weiwen, who was like a Wolf or a Tiger and had already stuck to his face, he had almost no ability to resist. Every spell technique and magical equipment he used seemed to have smashed into an unshakeable mountain.
This person was extremely shocked. What was happening in front of him was beyond his knowledge. It was even more shocking than being suddenly attacked.
He knew that he was going to die today, but he still had to resist. But why? we’re all in the middle stage of the initial enlightenment stage. Even if we can’t beat you, why are the spells and magic tools we use at close range useless?
The control effect did not work, so Lu Weiwen’s movements were no different from the beginning. The damage effect was even more ridiculous. The Platinum Light on the opponent’s body flashed on the surface of the skin. Then, the moves that he released were like phantoms with only light effects. They were useless.
He could only watch helplessly as Lu Weiwen raised her sword and cut through his self-defense spell and magic artifact. Then, he would end up the same as the previous fellow from the same race.
He carried the two guys who had lost their ability to move and left the room. Releasing their perception abilities, the two of them felt a lot more at ease. The situation around them was as expected. The cloud cavalry of the Lu family was very successful in their ambush and did not need their help.
After waiting for a while, he saw the cultivators of the clan carrying the captured people out.
After a quick count, it was the same as the number of people in the previous intelligence report. All the people who had participated in the gathering had been successfully captured.
Riding on the water cloud horses, the group rose into the air and left the crime scene.
The follow-up Affairs would be dealt with by the people of the Supreme Court who were on guard outside.
……
When they returned to the Supreme Court, they locked him in a cell and began the interrogation.
Lu Wenen’s expression turned extremely gloomy when he heard the answer.
Things were not looking good.
The two initial enlightenment cultivators from the Zhao clan were very straightforward. The two of them had more than one way to know about the abdication.
The diversity of information sources proved that this matter had expanded to a point where it was difficult to control.
However, if that was all, it could only be said that the rumors had reached an uncontrollable level. The scariest thing was that these two cultivators were very certain about this news. It wasn’t as simple as just hearing rumors.
According to their accounts, the higher-ups of the Zhao family also received this news-in fact, the two initial enlightenment stage cultivators who had just been captured were considered the core figures of the Zhao family in Yan city.
If the Zhao family knew about it, what about the other three families?
Lu Wenen took a deep breath. He felt a little lost.
What should he do next?
This news couldn’t be kept a secret.
However, this feeling of loss faded away after a while.
Wenen stood alone outside the prison, looking at the moon. After carefully sorting out his thoughts, he decided to adjust the direction of his work.
He couldn’t block it, nor could he disperse it. But after he changed his mind, he felt that his essential goal was to solve the possible problems that might appear during the abdication ceremony in a month and a half. Since the problem couldn’t be solved, it was better to get rid of the person who caused the trouble.
Just in time, the Zhao family arrived.
At dawn, an initial enlightenment stage cultivator called Zhao Huilin asked to see him outside the Supreme Court.
Of course, they were from the Zhao family of Yan city.
Apparently, they had already known that their clansmen had been caught by the Supreme Court.
For a prestigious family like the Zhao family, they definitely had to find a way to solve this kind of matter, especially in their opinion, when the captured family members did not do anything wrong.
Lu Wenen personally received the person and quickly sent him away.
The reason was simple-we found out that the two Zhao family members were involved in a case. As for what it was, it was currently in a confidential stage and could not be revealed to the outside world. However, he could guarantee that the two of them were safe for now. If there were no accidents, they would be released in two months at most.
As for Zhao Huilin’s mockery of ‘breaking the roof even if you want to invite someone to assist in the investigation’, Lu Wenen pretended not to hear it.
He had always been gentle and calm, and would never engage in meaningless disputes.
Just as he was about to leave, Lu Wenen ‘inadvertently’ asked, ”
“Zhao Huilin, do you know that there’s a rumor going around in Yan city recently that my Lu family is going to replace the Li family?”
Zhao Huilin’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. She said very normally, ” “I’ve heard of it. There are indeed such rumors recently. However, Lu zuojian himself said that these were ‘uninhibited words’, and I don’t think many people would believe him.”
“That’s good.” Lu Wenen smiled and nodded. I also hope that the Zhao family can support the Imperial court as usual.
“Naturally,”
After the two of them ended their conversation, Lu Wenen watched as the other party left.
This meeting with Zhao Huilin wasn’t really about talking or discussing anything. Otherwise, he could just arrange for someone to deal with her and it would pass.
His real purpose was actually to say that last sentence.
he believed that the other party would be able to understand why the Zhao family members had been captured.
If the Zhao family really had any private thoughts, then he might be able to force some changes with a few words.
There was also another important point. He had planted a seed in Zhao Huilin’s body.
After patiently waiting for a while and estimating that Zhao Huilin had already returned to the Zhao residence, Lu Wenen activated his spiritual sense. In the distance, he felt a weak connection between his soul and spiritual power.
Following this connection, Lu Wenen quickly put his perception into it.
He closed his eyes and sat down quietly. His pitch-black vision was soon filled with a blurry green light, and it gradually became clear.
That seed was, without a doubt, a technique from the ‘Book of Fate’. He used the seeds to spread out and quickly turned the various plants in the Zhao residence into his eyes and ears, and he soon saw Zhao Huilin.
This kind of vision was actually very strange. Plants could not move, and Lu Wenen could not possibly observe them directly through the seeds on Zhao Huilin’s body. Otherwise, he would be easily discovered.
Thus, from Lu Wenen’s perspective, his field of vision was like a blurry and static picture, and it would not move. After Zhao Huilin hurriedly walked past, Lu Wenen could only think of a way to find the next plant that he could ‘see’ her.
However, from what he had seen, Zhao Huilin seemed very anxious, not as calm as when she had just left the Supreme Court.
In the end, Wenen saw Zhao Huilin enter a room, where an old-looking man was sitting.
He could feel an extreme sense of threat from this man.
He should be a golden core cultivator.
Zhao Huilin, the hidden Jindan Xuanji of the Zhao family, had returned to the mansion and immediately came to find him. There must be something important.
After Zhao Huilin entered and closed the door, Lu Wenen also touched a potted plant placed by the window.
Fortunately, there were decorative plants in the room. Otherwise, he would have to take the risk and activate the ‘seed’ on Zhao Huilin’s body.
After entering, Zhao Huilin said anxiously, ” “The Lu family should have already felt that something was wrong. Our people were arrested because of the rumors. Forefather, shouldn’t we finish our plan earlier?”
“Be careful with your words!” Lu Wenen heard the gold core old monster’s shout, and then he looked at him.
Then, he felt a pain in his eyes, and his spirit instantly became very dispirited.
Just now, the Golden core old monster was not really looking at him, but should have felt that he was being watched. His eyes looked at the green plant at the window and with the power of the Golden core stage, he erased the perception power he had sent over.
Not only that, but the other party had even used this connection to directly injure Lu Wenen’s soul.
However, even though he was having a splitting headache, Wynn still felt excited.
The Golden core patriarch’s senses weren’t sharp enough. He didn’t notice anything unusual the moment Zhao Huilin entered the room. Zhao Huilin had already said something she shouldn’t have.
In fact, he couldn’t be blamed.
It wasn’t that Zhao Huilin didn’t think that she could be tracked. On her way back, she had already checked her body for any special means. However, she couldn’t find anything.
And when he had just entered the door and met his own golden core ancestor, the Golden core ancestor had not been able to detect the abnormality at the first moment. Moreover, it was in a secret environment with no one around, so naturally, there was no scruples when talking.
Lu Wenen did not hear what the Zhao clan’s plan was, but he did not need it. He only needed to know that the other party had a plan. That was all.
The rest of the matter was to capture the Zhao family. Naturally, they would know everything.
