Chapter 1168: A Demand at the Door
ly shouted" 。"Fools, you're allowed to set traps to harm others, but not allow others to use their wits" From behind a large boulder dozens of feet away, Lu Xia Tian cautiously watched everything unf...“I will go with my master,” Yu Ya said.
"There's no need, you should stay. As a County Princess, it's not appropriate for us to be together all the time. After all, we're still in Xiangdu." Lu Xia Tian shook his head. Xiangdu was crowded and bustling with people. Although Yu Ya's status in the royal family wasn't high, her beauty was widely known, and she had many admirers. Outside, Lu Xia Tian rarely stayed with Yu Ya to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Yes, Master," Yu Ya glared resentfully at Lu Xia Tian. The other party's figure flickered and he was already gone. Yu Ya sighed inwardly, but she also understood that her master was deeply devoted to the Dao and not a man swayed by romantic feelings. Her charm probably wouldn't stir any ripples in his heart.
The Zhenyuan General's Mansion was located southeast of Xiangdu, nestled between verdant mountains. A winding path led through lush greenery and secluded paths, the entrance guarded by rows of foundation-building cultivators. Golden Core cultivators patrolled nearby mountain ranges. This region had recently been granted to General Zhenyuan, and many wild beasts still roamed the wilderness, awaiting eradication.
“Who dares to trespass into General Zhenyuan’s manor!” Lu Xia Tian arrived from the sky at a speed that wasn’t particularly fast. The two patrolling cultivators, both at the Golden Core stage, saw Lu Xia Tian and came forward to block him. However, in a flash, they lost sight of the person before them.
“Hou Lie, you went to so much trouble to summon me, why are you hiding from me” Lu Xia Tian’s voice was powerful, echoing throughout the entire Zhenyuan General's Mansion in an instant. Among the two groups of cultivators who had intercepted Lu Xia Tian in the air just now, the weaker ones almost lost their balance and could only stay afloat with the help of their companions.
"Ancestor Yuan Ying!" Both teams of Jindan cultivators looked at each other with expressions of apprehension.
“Haha, since a friend has come from afar, this general wouldn't shut the door to visitors. Please enter the living room for a chat.” A booming voice came, but General Hou Lie of Zhenyuan remained unseen.
“I am not a guest. You have detained my apprentice. What is the reason If you don’t give me an explanation today, your General's Mansion will need to be rebuilt.”
Lu Xiaoteng spoke in a loud voice, standing on a small peak without any intention of moving. Being in Xiang Du, he was under many constraints and couldn't be as free as he was in those dangerous situations. However, during these years in Xiang Du, although he had kept a low profile, he was not someone with no foundation. This Hou Lie, for arbitrarily detaining Yu Xiaoqiao and Xiang Hua, really thought he could be bullied.

"What a big mouth you have! Let me see how you're going to dismantle my family's General Garden." A roar erupted, and hundreds of Jindan cultivators, armed with crossbow, surged out from the wilderness. Each crossbow was a Dan Yuan magic artifact, arranged in a crossbow formation that posed a threat even to Nascent Soul cultivators.

“Concealing your own identity while sending a group of juniors to their deaths, I wouldn't be honoring your intentions if I didn't teach you a lesson.” Lu Xiaotian sneered coldly. His figure flickered, splitting into two identical copies. This was his long-unused puppetry technique. The shadow clones possessed a certain amount of strength, which was no longer sufficient to deal with Nascent Soul cultivators, nor against cultivators of the same rank. However, for Golden Core cultivators who were a level lower, distinguishing the true from the false clone would be a challenge.”
Hundreds of cultivators in the air, trained with their crossbow formations, faced the countless shadowy clones. They split into two squads, each following their leader's command as arrows rained down.
Lu XiaTian let out a light cry, in the blink of an eye, his shadow clone was shot into a hedgehog, transforming into countless fragments scattered and broken. His main body was also obstructed by another wave of arrows.
"Roar!" The crossbow formation blocked Lu Xiaoteng's path, their morale soaring. They roared out with a voice each.
Lu Xia Tian stretched out his sleeve and pointed, shooting at the rain of arrows in front of him. Each arrow seemed to sink into a quagmire, unable to advance an inch.
"The army formed by cultivators was indeed extraordinary. An ordinary nascent soul cultivator wouldn't be able to break through it. Once caught by these golden core cultivators, even if they weren't defeated, they would be ridiculed. "Lu Xiaoxian had seen such formations before, but the threat posed by this cultivator army made him realize anew its power."
Soon, Lu Xia Tian let out a cold snort. An ordinary nascent soul stage cultivator facing this kind of formation truly felt like a dog biting a hedgehog. However, to him, they were nothing more than ants. Even if facing a nascent soul cultivator posed a certain threat, it was still nowhere near threatening his level.
Lu Xia Tian reached out his hand and clapped the void. A gigantic hand shadow appeared, burning with azure Brahma Fire. The flame-wreathed giant hand expanded in midair, growing to encompass dozens of zhang in an instant, enveloping the army formation composed of hundreds of Golden Core cultivators within its fiery grasp.
Hundreds of cultivators, each with their golden core in hand, spat out their dan yuan artifacts. Each wielded a standardized Moonlit Blade. In the void, hundreds of blade glows converged into one colossal Moonlit Blade, facing head-on against the descending fiery giant hand. The two vastly different forces clashed in the air, causing the fiery giant hand to be momentarily halted, unable to descend further.

Lu Xiaotian's mouth curled into a few strands of coldness. The gigantic flaming hand roared and scattered, turning into hundreds of flaming fragments that fell down. Most were blocked by the blade qi, while a very small part fell within the army formation. Suddenly, there was a chorus of screams and wails within the formation.
Lu Xiaottian has already been a Yuan Ying cultivator for many years. His accumulated magical power is comparable to even a mid-stage Yuan Ying expert. The power of the Brahma Lotus Inferno is not something ordinary Jindan cultivators can withstand. Although this army of hundreds of Jindan cultivators was powerful, and their combined attack just now was formidable, rivaling his own strike in terms of sheer force, the difference in cultivation realms was too great. Even with similar power, the results achieved by different individuals could vary drastically, resulting in a world of difference.

“My esteemed brother, your skill is truly impressive. You broke through my grand formation with a single move. However, engaging with these juniors is beneath your status,” boomed a resonant voice. A brilliant light pierced the air, revealing a dignified middle-aged man in majestic attire. With a sweep of his sleeve, he sent the fallen Brahma Lotus Fire back into the army formation.
"You beat the young ones, and naturally the older ones will come out. Aren't you also thinking along these lines Cut the crap and hand over my two juniors."
Lu Xiaotian thought, and the scattered Fanluo Spirit Fire was drawn back together into a line, swirling into his hand and disappearing. "You're just a newly promoted Yuan Ying cultivator. Your abilities aren't even as threatening as the formations those soldiers brought earlier. Since you have the audacity to reach out to me, your accomplices must be here too. Bring them out."
“To run wild at General Zhenyuan’s mansion, what a bold statement.” A clear voice sounded, and several young people came face-to-face. The speaker was Hou Li's daughter, Hou Xiyu. Following Hou Xiyu were several other men and women. Two of them saw Lu Xiaoteng and their expressions immediately changed in shock, their pupils constricted.e first took out a useless Dan Yuan Refining Art, waiting for someone to buy it, then immediately took out another drop of Dan Yuan to sell. Wasn't this ripping people off Although he was angry inside...
