Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Three Times the Lifespan

Chapter 47 The Power of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator

The Lu family's law enforcement cultivators were well-trained and generally had higher cultivation levels than the attackers. They quickly stabilized their position and began a counterattack to suppress the attackers.

However, the men in black had clearly planned this all along. After their attack, whether they succeeded or not, they did not linger. Instead, they used water escape techniques or magical artifacts that allowed them to move quickly, and fled desperately in several predetermined directions.

"Chase them! Don't let a single one escape!" the enforcement team leader roared, waving his hand to lead his men in pursuit.

Several figures in black darted haphazardly across the lake and among the reeds, on the verge of being swallowed up by the torrent of spells unleashed by the law enforcement cultivators.

Just then, an incredibly powerful spiritual pressure suddenly descended!

In the distance, deep within the inconspicuous reed marshes, a hazy streak of light shot into the sky, moving with ghostly speed.

Within the flash of light, the figure of a gaunt old man, his face shrouded in a gray cloak hood, appeared and disappeared.

He did not reveal his true appearance, but the immense pressure belonging to the Foundation Establishment stage was like an invisible mountain crashing down.

Instantly, the blood and qi of the few Lu family law enforcement cultivators who were closest to him surged, and their escape light came to a halt.

The old man in the gray robe casually waved his withered hand forward.

Without any earth-shattering display, a condensed, almost tangible, grayish-yellow magical power, carrying the heavy force of earth element, silently swept across the lake's surface.

Rumble!

Like an earth dragon turning over, the lake surface in front of the two mid-stage Qi Refining Law Enforcement cultivators who were chasing at the forefront suddenly exploded.

Several thick, sturdy pillars of earth, covered with jagged stone spikes, burst through the water and slammed into their protective aura and magical artifacts.

"puff!"

"what……"

The two were struck as if by a heavy hammer; their protective aura shattered instantly, blood gushed from their mouths, and they screamed as they were sent flying backward by the enormous impact, crashing heavily into the water, their fate unknown.

"Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

The other law enforcement cultivators stopped in shock, staring at the gray-robed old man with a mixture of fear and anger.

He never imagined that such a powerful person would do something so low-class.

The old man struck down the enemy with a single blow, with no intention of lingering.

This is the Lu family's territory, where two Foundation Establishment cultivators are stationed year-round. If you get entangled here, even if you are well-prepared, you may still perish.

"Whoosh!"

A hazy, gray light swept up like a giant sack, instantly engulfing several black-clad men who had successfully escaped to the area.

The escape light flashed and its speed soared to the limit, under the watchful, angry yet helpless gaze of the Lu family's law enforcement cultivators.

It turned into a thin gray line in the sky and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving only a mess in the surrounding waters.

The broken planks floating on the lake, the lingering smell of blood, the groans of surviving fishermen and farmers, and the ashen faces of the Lu family's law enforcement cultivators silently testified to the sudden attack and chaos.

The core area of ​​Bishui Lake is shrouded in a suffocating sense of oppression.

The undisguised spiritual pressure from that Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the subsequent retreat of the island's law enforcement cultivators, undoubtedly trampled the Lu family's reputation underfoot—an unprecedented and humiliating disgrace.

"Buzz!"

The void suddenly trembled, and a streak of azure light shot out from the core area of ​​the island in the lake. It was faster than lightning, tearing apart the remaining chaotic spiritual energy, and in an instant it had reached the waters near the port market.

The terrifying spiritual pressure, like a tangible tide, instantly covered the entire area.

This aura was more profound and concentrated than that of the previous gray-robed elder, carrying with it a raging inferno.

The azure light receded, revealing a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a blue robe with cloud patterns.

His face was handsome, but at this moment it was so gloomy that it seemed to drip water. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, scanning the messy port below, the injured and wailing fishermen and farmers, and the still-shaken monks.

It was none other than Lu Zhiping, the Supreme Elder of the Lu family!

"snort!"

A voice, like a muffled thunderclap, exploded in everyone's hearts. Those with lower cultivation levels turned pale and nearly collapsed.

Lu Zhiping's gaze swept over the corpses of several low-level fishermen killed by Wang family assassins on the water's surface, then looked at the traces of the battle remaining in the distant waters. The chill in his eyes almost froze into ice.

"How dare they! They openly attack and kill my Lu family's fishermen and farmers in the heart of my Azure Lake! Do they really think my Lu family has no one to rely on?"

Lu Zhiping's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire port; he was furious.

The timing and target chosen by the other party were extremely insidious, targeting the fishermen and farmers who were not powerful but were of vital importance.

This is part of the foundation of the Lu family's spiritual wealth, and even more so, a blatant provocation and test, the purpose of which is obvious.

Lu Zhiping did not immediately pursue the Foundation Establishment stage escape light that had already disappeared into the sky.

The opponent was clearly prepared, retreating after a single strike, displaying extraordinary escape skills. The chances of successfully catching up at this moment are extremely slim, and it is more likely to fall into a trap.

The most urgent task is to stabilize the situation, treat the injured, ascertain the extent of the losses, and immediately convey the Lu family's tough stance to the outside world.

"Where is the Hall of Enforcement?!" Lu Zhiping's authoritative voice rang out.

Several figures immediately appeared from various places, bowing and obeying orders. They were all law enforcement cultivators from the Lu family. The leader was the captain at the eighth level of Qi Refining. His arm was injured, indicating that he had just experienced a fierce battle.

"Immediately treat the wounded and carefully take inventory of all fishermen and farmers belonging to the Lu family, regardless of whether they are alive or dead! Seal off the port; no one is allowed to leave without authorization!"

Lu Zhiping spoke very quickly and clearly, having already thought out all the arrangements.

He suspected there might be a mole among them, otherwise why would things have gone so smoothly?

"Report the details of the attack, the assassin's characteristics, and the techniques and weapons used, no matter how small!" Lu Zhiping added.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon receiving the order, the members of the Enforcement Hall immediately sprang into action, organizing manpower to provide medical assistance, reassure the public, and block off key roads with remarkable efficiency.

After issuing the emergency order, Lu Zhiping did not leave.

He slowly landed on the highest stone platform in the center of the port market, his gaze sweeping across the entire area once more like a cold lightning bolt.

The powerful pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was released without reservation, like an invisible boulder pressing down on the hearts of every cultivator in the market, and the air seemed to freeze.

"You have all witnessed what happened today. How dare these petty scoundrels provoke us! The Lu family will not tolerate this!"

Lu Zhiping's voice was filled with chilling killing intent. Before he finished speaking, his powerful Foundation Establishment stage divine sense spread out like an invisible giant net, instantly covering the entire port market.

This divine sense was extremely domineering, carrying a scrutinizing and probing will, sweeping over every cultivator.

Those with low cultivation levels feel as if they have been stripped naked, with all their secrets exposed. Those with ulterior motives feel even more uneasy, sweating profusely.

"Hmm?" Lu Zhiping's gaze suddenly sharpened as he locked onto several figures on the edge of the market who were trying to quietly blend into the crowd and were about to retreat.

These people were clearly unstable, their eyes were shifty, and they even revealed their weaknesses under the pressure of Foundation Establishment divine sense.

"Where do you think you're going!" Lu Zhiping didn't need to say anything more, he just flicked his fingers.

Several highly refined cyan finger strikes shot out from the air, accurately targeting the five or six sneaky figures.
