"What, what is going on?!
This Qin Xuan looks like an ordinary person, but why, why did I feel an urge to worship him from the bottom of my heart just by looking into his eyes?!"
"Me too!
It felt like seeing a living immortal! I couldn't even think of resisting!"
"Nonsense!
Hearing the terrified discussions of the rogue cultivators below, Lu Ao quickly tried to stop them.
But even though he denied it verbally, his heart was the same as the other rogue cultivators.
Even though they only saw Qin Xuan's figure through the projected video, Qin Xuan's eyes seemed to pierce through the camera and tens of thousands of miles, directly seeing them.
So while Lu Ao was suppressing the other rogue cultivators, his hand had already moved to the red cross in the upper right corner of the screen.
However, just as he was about to click the mouse to close the image in front of him, a shocking scene came from the screen.
Qin Xuan slowly extended his right hand and pushed it down towards the ground, seemingly without much effort.
Then a huge sound erupted, instantly filling the entire hall.
Boom—!
Dust and smoke billowed, momentarily obscuring the situation on the screen with yellow earth.
And when the dust settled, the hundreds of meters high loess plateau had been completely wiped away by Qin Xuan's seemingly soft palm!
Silence, a deathly silence.
The bullet comments on the screen were now all asking where the Han family's ruins were.
But no one in the Lu family hall could make a sound.
They were all cultivators, and they naturally knew what level of cultivator could achieve what level of destructive power.
For example, a Golden Core stage cultivator could level a small mountain tens of meters high with all their might, and a Nascent Soul cultivator could level a mountain hundreds of meters high.
But for Qin Xuan to casually erase a loess plateau spanning hundreds of kilometers with a single palm was definitely something only a peak Nascent Soul cultivator could achieve!
What was even more terrifying was that Qin Xuan's palm clearly hadn't used his full strength.
If he were to unleash his full power, could the Lu family's formation withstand it?
At this thought, everyone's gaze converged on Lu Ao, who was seated at the head.
Lu Ao's movements faltered, and he was also very flustered.
But in such a situation, he definitely couldn't say anything disheartening, otherwise, even if they survived this ordeal, these people would still not be easy to lead.
"Bastards! What are you looking at?!"
"Although my Lu family is not famous for its formations, our ancestors did have a formation genius."
"The defensive formation laid down by that elder is capable of withstanding a Void Refinement stage expert."
"A mere Qin Xuan is nothing to fear!"
"Of course, if you wish to leave, I, Lu, will not stop you. However, if you are targeted by that Qin Xuan in the future, do not come back seeking refuge from my Lu family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rogue cultivators below quickly denied it.
With the Lu family's defensive grand formation in place, they could at least be a bit safer.
But if they left on their own, it would basically be a sure death.
Just as everyone was speaking good words and expressing their loyalty to Lu Ao, bursts of muffled thunder suddenly sounded from the sky.
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy. Lu Ao was the first to rush out of the hall, looking towards the place where the thunderclouds were gathering.
Advancing from the Core Formation stage to the Golden Core stage would involve heavenly tribulations that would hinder the advancement and help the cultivator refine their Golden Core.
This scene clearly indicated that his father, Lu Sheng, had successfully advanced and was about to undergo the heavenly tribulation!
Once successful, even if that Qin Xuan had truly advanced to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, they would not be afraid!
As if on cue.
As a tall figure slowly rose from the Lu family courtyard, a lightning bolt like a giant python suddenly struck down.
Boom—crack!
The rumbling thunder startled everyone present.
Many of them were at the peak of the Core Formation stage.
They believed they would definitely not be able to survive such a heavenly tribulation!
But the figure in the sky clearly did not fear the heavenly tribulation. Not only did he stand with his hands behind his back, calmly awaiting the tribulation, but he even charged upwards before the third lightning strike descended.
In the sky, the thunderclouds seemed to sense the provocation, and several lightning strikes descended together, directly smashing Lu Sheng from the sky back to the ground.
But as the tribulation clouds dispersed, Lu Sheng's tall figure suddenly flew from a distance to the front.
The aura emanating from him made everyone present dare not move.
"Hmph, after suppressing myself for so many years, I have finally found a perfect opportunity."
"Now that I have passed the nine tribulations, my first-grade Golden Core is complete."
"I want to see how those so-called foreign visitors will deal with my Jiangcheng Lu family!"
With a cold expression, Lu Sheng's gaze swept over every rogue cultivator present.
While these words seemed to express disdain for the inhabitants of Canglan Star, they were actually directed at the rogue cultivators temporarily residing in the Lu family.
The implication was naturally that they should show their loyalty, otherwise, why would his Jiangcheng Lu family take in these unrelated people?
The people present were all seasoned veterans, and they naturally understood this principle.
However, for the sake of face, no one had taken the lead in doing so before.
Now that Lu Sheng alone was enough to crush everyone present, they quickly bowed and declared their willingness to completely pledge allegiance to the Lu family and recognize the Lu family as their master.
No matter what happened to the Lu family in the future, they would advance and retreat with the Lu family.
"Good, since everyone has such intentions, my Lu family will no longer decline."
"I only hope that everyone will truly fulfill their promises in the future, otherwise, the blade in my hand is not vegetarian!"
"Certainly, certainly!"
Returning to the hall, the main seat above naturally changed from Lu Ao to Lu Sheng.
However, upon seeing the screen, everyone couldn't help but gasp again.
Because Qin Xuan on the screen was no longer at the loess plateau they had seen earlier.
The sky was vast and there were no markers to confirm the location, but the vast forest beneath his feet was something they were all too familiar with.
Yes, in the mere fifteen minutes it took Lu Sheng to undergo his tribulation, Qin Xuan had traveled from the northwest, thousands of miles away, to Jiangcheng.
And the forest beneath his feet was precisely where the Lu family's small boundary formation was located!
Fear once again gripped everyone's hearts.
Even Lu Sheng couldn't help but frown when he saw Qin Xuan on the screen.
The man in the image had a majestic appearance, a full forehead, like an immortal descending to the mortal world.
Yet, such an unparalleled expert was now standing above their family's boundary formation.
His purpose was difficult to ascertain.
"Father, this person is the Qin Xuan I told you about. He just wiped out a loess plateau hundreds of kilometers in radius with a single strike."
"He's here now, likely to do the same to us, the Lu family."
Knowing that his father had never met Qin Xuan before, Lu Ao quickly informed him of Qin Xuan's recent actions.
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng's brows furrowed even tighter. For some reason, whenever he saw the other party's face, he felt an urge to worship.
He had never felt this way before, but he knew it was definitely not a good omen.
