[ 4-star event: hunt for survivors ]

[ reward: 4000 karma, one 3-star rare exchange item, one 4-star rare exchange item ]

……

Eh?

What happened?

Lu Qing, who was cultivating in his base on Yuyan mountain, suddenly saw a notification about a conquest.

In fact, this kind of thing was quite common. Families would always encounter some incidents, especially now, when the population was increasing and the plate was getting bigger and bigger.

These random events were also an important source of karma for Lu Qing. The rewards for a single event were very little, but when added up, they were quite a lot.

However, most of the items that he usually obtained were one-star and two-star items. The rare exchange items had very few rewards. The main thing was the gradual accumulation of karma.

However, this was another matter.

A 4-star event wasn’t something that ordinary clansmen could trigger or resolve.

Especially the words ‘hunting for the remaining evil’, it made him think that there must be some new problems in Yan city.

However, the incident had been resolved, and even the reward had jumped out, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.

Lu Qing continued to cultivate in peace. He would only stop after he had completed this cycle.

Recently, he had finally pushed his cultivation to the peak of nascent soul state level one. He could feel that he could break through to nascent soul state level two at any time.

Although it wasn’t a major breakthrough, in the Yuanying stage, this small increase in strength brought about a considerable increase.

According to Lu Qing’s estimation, if he could enter the fourth level of the nascent soul realm, which was around the middle stage, he would be invincible among the nascent soul realm cultivators. Enemies at the same level as him could no longer be his match. Unless the other party was also a very special kind and also had a divine ability or a divine-grade cultivation technique, then it would be another matter.

However, he didn’t know how long it would take to break through. It might take one or two months of meticulous cultivation. Therefore, Lu Qing was not in a hurry to carry it out. After all, there were still many things to do recently.

For example, the Lu clan would completely replace the Li clan and become the imperial family of Great Yan, bringing Great Yan into the era of the Lu clan.

Lu Qing felt that he still had to witness this scene.

……

After a short while, Lu Qing was teleported to Yan city. He had a rough idea of what had happened.

The Lu family had basically investigated the entire matter.

The three great families wanting to abduct Li Xuanhao was not an impromptu decision.

Earlier, during the battle for the position of heir, the three families were Li Xuanhao’s supporters and had a relationship with him.

They weren’t naive enough to think that they would be able to change a new world in the Yan Kingdom just by taking Li Xuanhao away. This was unrealistic.

However, it would be different if the Wei Kingdom was included.

They had contacted the Wei Kingdom. According to what they said, the Wei State had already sent out a small team of elite cultivators. They had already crossed the border and entered the Ji Province to hide.

As long as the three big families ‘operation succeeded in bringing Li Xuanhao out of Yan city, they would take action to help and guarantee that they would be able to bring the three big families, as well as Li Xuanhao himself, from Yan to Wei. Furthermore, he would also support Li Xuanhao’s cause of restoring the nation.

Of course, Lu Qing found this very familiar.

Zhen Qi’s Army would help Li Xuanhao restore his country? Lu Qing probably did not exist.

However, he had Li Xuanhao in his hands, so he naturally had his own use. Retreating could be used as a bargaining chip. From time to time, he could annoy the country of Yan and the Yunxiao sect in the name of the Orthodox lineage of Great Yan. In short, it was quite annoying. He could even use this as a reason to contact the Royalist party in Yan country and start some internal strife.

To the Lu clan and Yunxiao sect, such internal strife was naturally not a life-threatening matter. But in the end, he still needed to put in some effort to solve the problem.

In his opinion, this was neither too big nor too small.

It wasn’t a big deal, because no matter how Li Xuanhao and the Royalist party jumped and struggled, they couldn’t change the imminent abdication ceremony. The power of the Imperial court was on the verge of collapse. Even though the remaining forces were not weak, they were a pile of loose sand and could not be organized. With the support of the Qingfeng sect and Yunxiao sect, the Lu family was almost invincible in the country of Yan.

But to say that it was small, it wasn’t that small.

At this point, there were still people who risked the destruction of their family to come to Li Xuanhao’s rescue and take him away. This proved that the Li royal family’s thousand years of rule still existed.

Three of the four great clans had come to stir up trouble while bearing the risk of their clans being exterminated. In that case, the barefooted ones outside might have a more determined attitude toward the Li clan. This proved that even if the Lu clan inherited the throne, it would be extremely difficult to unify the inner court, not to mention the pressure from the Yunxiao sect.

Of course, Lu Qing had already thought of this difficulty when he made the decision.

However, if the Lu clan wanted to expand and become even more powerful from the state of peace, they would have to face different difficulties no matter which path they chose.

Difficulties weren’t a problem, as long as they were solved.

Moreover, Li Xuanhao’s betrayal did not succeed.

If he really ran into the hands of the Wei Kingdom, it would indeed be a big trouble. However, not only did they not escape, but they had also exposed the three great clans. This might actually be a good thing.

They took advantage of this opportunity to force the mo family to take a side. After the other three families failed, they handed the handle of the reckoning to the Lu family. He could use this opportunity to clean up the mess. It would reduce the internal pressure that the Lu family would face in the future when it really took over.

The three golden core cultivators who had participated in this incident had all died on the spot. As for the other cultivators below the jiedan stage, the casualties were also very heavy. Some of them did not die on the spot and were only captured. In the future, they would all be convicted and beheaded.

Even the entire Zhang clan, Zhao clan, and Guan clan would become history after this incident.

There was no need to specifically list out crimes. Rebellion and treason were two major Crimes in any country, not to mention in Yan country. It was not a big problem to kill nine families and exterminate families.

Even Li Xuanhao himself would be publicly executed for the two major Crimes of treason and rebellion.

The Lu clan had discussed this matter internally and decided to resolve it as soon as possible. They wanted to clean up the mess before the abdication ceremony began.

In this case, the person who gave this cruel order was li Chengzong, the Emperor of Great Yan.

……

Seven hundred miles away from Yan city, in a Manor outside a small town, a group of people was sitting in a circle.

They were all from the Wei Kingdom, and they were also the people Li Xuanhao relied on the most to escape from the Yan Kingdom. They were the people who came from the Wei Kingdom to receive him.

They were members of the Wei Kingdom’s Secret camp. The secret affairs camp was the secret agency of the great Wei Dynasty, similar to the role of the National Security Bureau under the Supreme Court of Great Yan.

The leader of the group was someone of high status in the Wei Kingdom’s Secret camp. His name was Li Xuan, a peak Jindan stage cultivator. He was the Deputy Chief of the great Wei’s Secret camp and could be considered as one of the heads of the secret camp. In the great Wei Kingdom, he had a great reputation-although it was not a good reputation, because there were countless people who died tragically in him and the secret camp under his command.

Another thing worth mentioning was that Li Xuan was a hardcore supporter of the Wei State general, Xia Cang.

In addition to the secret envoy of Wei Kingdom, there was another person who was from Yan Kingdom.

This person was wearing a white mask without any marks or facial features.

What they were discussing was exactly what had happened in Yan city.

One of them said,”Zhao Weiyu and the others failed. They didn’t manage to rescue Li Xuanhao.” There’s also news that the Zhao clan, Zhang clan, and Guan clan will all be annihilated. Li Xuanhao will also be executed for treason and treason.”

the Lu family’s Xuanji is very determined, ” another person said. it seems that they really don’t have the idea of compromising with the traditional forces of the Yan Kingdom’s imperial court.

“This is a good thing for us.” Li Xuan said, ” the country of Yan is going to be in chaos for a while.

The others around him nodded.

One of them said with a regretful tone, ” it’s a pity that the chaos can’t reach Yunxiao sect. Otherwise, great general might really be able to achieve the great achievement of destroying a country if you lead your troops up north again.

The White-masked man from the faceless society had not participated in their discussion. On the contrary, his hands were clenched tightly, as if to represent the uneasiness in his heart at the moment.

Li Xuan seemed to have noticed this detail. He smiled and said, ” Mr. Bai Yuan, please don’t blame us. We’ve spoken too much. We shouldn’t have said this in front of you.

Although he was apologizing, there was no sincerity in his words.

The man called Bai Yuan said in a muffled voice, ” I don’t blame you. Although the Wei Kingdom contributed to the downfall of our country, it is still the Lu clan and Yunxiao sect’s fault.

“Yup,” Li Yun said, ” Li Xuanhao didn’t escape. What other thoughts do you have, Mr. Bai Yuan? ”

“Even though the Imperial grandson was unable to escape, and the bloodline of His Majesty was trapped in Yan city, our faceless society will not give up. We’re preparing to give up the capital of Yan for the time being and move around the entire Yan Kingdom. Anyone from the Lu family who was sent out as an official would be killed. Kill those who defect to the Lu clan, kill all Yunxiao sect cultivators!”

“Mr. Bai Yuan’s loyalty, even if we are not from the same country, I have to admire it.”

Li Xuan was filled with respect. He didn’t know how much of it was fake and how much of it was real.

However, Bai Yuan didn’t really care about this.

One of the people beside him couldn’t help but say, ” You will face tremendous pressure from the Lu clan and Yunxiao sect.

silent operation, hiding our whereabouts, and killing without a trace. Bai Yuan said, ” I know that I’m not his match in a head-on confrontation. However, we are not without foundation in the Yan Kingdom. Many loyal soldiers may not dare to openly go against the Lu family, but they will still be our help. With their help, it won’t be a problem for our people to obtain information or hide after they succeed.”

“Alright, I’m relieved to hear that. On behalf of great Wei’s Secret Service, I promise to give the faceless society the greatest support in terms of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. If you need anything, you know how to contact us.”

“Many thanks.”

“We’re just taking what we need. Also, I’ll remind you that the 20000 cultivators of the Feiyun state can’t be stationed in the Yan capital for a long time. When they leave and return to the Feiyun state, the capital of Yan will be empty. You can still create some trouble there.”

“You don’t need to tell us this, we naturally know.”

……

For the time being, the Lu clan had no idea that a secret meeting that once belonged to the Emperor would soon evolve into a terrorist organization within the territory of Great Yan Dynasty.

Right now, the most important thing for the Lu family was to abdicate and ascend the throne.

To be honest, three months of preparation time was not too long. The various preparations for the ceremony were not considered Grand.

The Lu family didn’t really value those superficial things.

Of course, no matter what, it was much more imposing than three months ago when li Chengzong ascended the throne.

The day before, the news was officially released.

After Li Xuanhao’s betrayal and escape, all kinds of rumors had been spreading in Yan city for such a long time. In fact, those who were well-informed knew that the abdication was inevitable.

Of course, the fact that it would happen so quickly still disrupted the mental preparation of many people.

But now, no one dared to say anything.

The Li consortium still had many henchmen. Those who were determined to stand on the side of the Li royal family, even at the cost of their lives, did not have the ability to cause trouble. When the three great clans rebelled and kidnapped Li Xuanhao, they had already made their move and were dealt with.

The rest of the people either didn’t have the courage, didn’t have the ability, or didn’t have a firm stand.

Of the four great clans that had once been glorious for an entire era, three of them had already lost their heads because of this incident some time ago. The vast manors of the three great clans had now become empty, so who would still dare to jump?

In fact, at the beginning of the abdication ceremony, the most intense method was to report that he was sick and not come to court that day. He was an ostrich with its head buried in the ground. It would be fine if he didn’t see it with his own eyes.

In addition, there were even many people who were good at currying favor. At this time, they had already recognized the situation and actively sought to rely on the Lu family.

The Lu family welcomed all of this with open arms.

The Lu clan also understood that it would be too much of a waste of effort to get rid of the Imperial court and build a new one. To those who opposed him, it was natural to suppress them ruthlessly. However, if there were people who were willing to pledge their allegiance and showed them kindness, they would be able to have a lot of strength left in their future rule.

These officials who were willing to surrender, such as Lu mingling, Lu tingchou, and the future relatives of the imperial family, had even received them personally and made some promises that were neither too big nor too small.

Some of the more important figures even received a personal audience from Lu chaoxi, the clan leader of the Lu clan and the future emperor of Great Yan.
