Chapter 381: Chapter 165: The Shock of the Four Patriarchs!_3

“So I’ll come to teach you myself later.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t wait for Lu Miaoge to reply and continued speaking.

He didn’t carry any jade slips or jade scrolls containing sword technique cultivation techniques on his person.

Ordinary cultivation techniques and spells are quite easy to copy and replicate.

But high grade cultivation techniques and spells are not so easily copied.

Not only must one have an expert grasp of the cultivation techniques,

one must also expend the writer’s own vital energies to inscribe them onto a technique jade slip.

And normally, who would carry a copy of the cultivation techniques they’re practicing on their person?

“Changsheng, why are you so good to me?”

Lu Miaoge looked up at the Lu Changsheng before her, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness as she softly spoke.

“You’re my wife, if I’m not good to you, to whom should I be?”

Lu Changsheng looked at his wife and laughed with a smile.

“Thank you, Changsheng.”

Lu Miaoge’s eyes glistened, and she smiled tenderly.

“We are husband and wife, one entity, there’s no need for thanks,”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said.

“Mm.”

Lu Miaoge gently hummed in affirmation and then quietly snuggled into her husband’s arms.

…

Time passed by slowly.

At this moment, Lu Yuanzhong, the Bai Family Ancestor, the Patriarch of Zheng Family, and Patriarch Yu Jinyang of the Yu Family had all hurriedly arrived at Red Leaf Valley Market.

The commotion earlier caused Yu Yuanshan to send the highest-level of emergency message.

Faced with such a message, the ancestors of the four major families did not dare delay.

They ordered their families to activate their defensive formations and quickly came over.

“Yuanshan, what’s the situation here?”

Patriarch Yu Jinyang asked aloud.

This Patriarch of the Yu Family had a full head of white hair, but not a single wrinkle or age spot on his face, his skin as clear and glossy as a baby’s, perfectly exemplifying the phrase ‘old in years, youthful in looks.’

As Patriarch Yu Jinyang spoke, Lu Yuanzhong, the Bai Family Ancestor, and the Patriarch of the Zheng Family all turned to Yu Yuanshan, wanting to know the specifics of what had happened in the market.

Although they arrived one after another, Yu Yuanshan indicated that the situation in the market had stabilized, so he waited for everyone to gather before explaining.

“Patriarch, fellow daoists…”

Upon hearing Patriarch Yu Jinyang’s words, Yu Yuanshan immediately recounted what had happened in the market earlier.

“What?”

“Two Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators!”

“An extraordinary Sword Cultivator, who slew a Second Rank Demon Beast with a single sword strike!”

“And this Sword Cultivator killed both Robber Cultivators!”

Upon hearing this, the four of them exchanged astonished glances, their faces revealing shock and disbelief.

After all, these were Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.

Beings on the same level as them.

And now, Yu Yuanshan was telling them that tonight, two Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators had raided the market.

Then, suddenly, an extraordinary Sword Cultivator appeared and slew both Robber Cultivators.

If not for the current state of the market’s Great Formation being weakened, allowing them to see that the market had gone through a disturbance and knowing that Yu Yuanshan wouldn’t lie to them, they would have thought they were listening to a radio drama.

“How could our market have such a Sword Cultivator?”

“Indeed, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators who were invited to the auction left after it ended.”

The Patriarch of the Zheng Family and Bai Family Ancestor spoke up.

“This is what I recorded on the Shadow Retention Stone.”

Without saying much more, Yu Yuanshan took out a fist-sized black stone.

The Shadow Retention Stone is a magic artifact refined by Artifact Refiners.

It can record a period of images and sounds.

Depending on the grade, the clarity of the images and duration vary.

Its uses are wide-ranging.

Many cultivators use Shadow Retention Stones to leave their last words before they pass away.

Or when selling cultivation techniques or instructing juniors, they might record their insights onto a Shadow Retention Stone, which is often much more vivid than text alone.

It can also be used for recording various scenes in daily life.

The Jade Scroll of the ‘Returning Origin Technique’ that Lu Changsheng cultivated initially also had a Shadow Retention effect.

As mana was infused into the Shadow Retention Stone, a segment of images began to emerge.

It was the scene where Lu Changsheng slew the Second Rank Demon Beast and confronted the pair of Robber Cultivators.

“Hiss, such a domineering sword stance!”

“That’s a true Sword Cultivator!”

“Could this person be a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect?”

“That’s not an impossibility.”

“But for what reason would a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect come to our Red Leaf Valley Market?”

The ancestors of the four major families, upon watching the images on the Shadow Retention Stone, were struck with unparalleled shock in their hearts.

Although the Shadow Retention Stone could not record the aura or presence,

they could still sense an unstoppable, sword-breaking-all-laws, unmatched aura from Lu Changsheng through the images.

“Hmm?”

Patriarch Yu Jinyang, upon observing the attire and methods of the two Robber Cultivators on the Shadow Retention Stone, frowned slightly, falling into contemplation.

But upon seeing the two Robber Cultivators being killed and their bodies taken away, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

“Patriarch, what’s the matter?”

Yu Yuanshan, seeing his Patriarch’s expression, inquired.

“The strength, attire, and appearance of these two Robber Cultivators remind me of the ‘Male and Female Villains’ who are being pursued by the major Immortal Sects.”

Patriarch Yu Jinyang narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke.

“Male and Female Villains! The two of them each possesses the strength of the middle and early stages of Foundation Establishment…”

“The couple often act together, robbing wealth and assaulting individuals with cunning and unpredictability… They have been wanted by the Heavenly Sword Sect for killing an elite disciple.”

“Come to think of it, these two do bear some resemblance to the Male and Female Villains.”

Once Patriarch Yu Jinyang said this, even the Bai Family Ancestor began to express his doubt as he looked at the images on the Shadow Retention Stone.

“Male and Female Villains, wanted by the Heavenly Sword Sect?”

“If that’s the case, then this Sword Cultivator must be a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, tracking them to this place.”

“Indeed, otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence of having an extraordinary Sword Cultivator in our Red Leaf Valley Market?”

“Aside from the Heavenly Sword Sect, where else could you find such a dominant Sword Cultivator?”

Upon hearing this, the others felt relieved, believing that things must be as they surmised.
