74 The White ghouls go south


    The White ghouls were about to head south. In the three years that followed, the Lu n did not expand. They only attacked two Crusades under Lu Qing’s guidance.


    First, a group of low-level demonic beasts had migrated here, but they were taken care of by the Lu family before they could take root. The other was a group of itinerant cultivators who hadmitted a crime. They upied a barren mountain to the South of Pingyao County and upied a Grade-1 spirit vein. They wreaked havoc in the area and became bandits. After Lu Qing flew over and investigated the situation, he asked Lu xueting to lead a team and deal with them.


    The fight was rather easy. There were no foundation building cultivators among the group of itinerant cultivators. The most powerful one was only at the ninth-stage Qi refining realm. Lu xueting killed him in two moves. The remaining dozen or so cultivators could not even withstand a single blow from the Lu n cultivators. The number of cultivators in the Lu n was twice that of them, and their average cultivation was also twice that of them. Their cultivation techniques were more exquisite, and their magical equipment was more outstanding.


    After this battle, they would be crushed.


    Of course, such a simple crusade would not have a high level, and the karma reward would not be high.


    After the two Crusades, in addition to the karma he had umted previously, he now had 740 karma.


    He didn’t n to waste them. They had to be prepared for the war of conquest three yearster.


    The three-year period was about to end, and the news from the northern border had also been sent back one after another.


    Five years ago, the White sun sect’s Grand Elder, an Aurous core stage cultivator, sun Zhanghai, used divination to find out that the White ghouls would once again head south three yearster and cause a disaster. Following that, the investigation of the icy ins of the extreme north also confirmed that sun Zhanghai’s divination was correct.


    After that, when the Qingfeng sect received the news of the request for help, they started to make preparations in the Feiyun state.


    In the past few years, the White ghouls had been harassing the South more frequently, and the premonition of a storm had slowly be stronger.


    The Qingfeng sect had requested for the Lu n’s cultivators to arrive at cold wind Castle within three years.


    From anling city to cold wind Castle, there was a distance of 70000 miles. It was definitely too far to run on foot.


    Lu chaoxi led a team of ten Qi refining cultivators. They gathered in anling city and met up with the cultivators from the various families in the county. This batch of four hundred people boarded the threerge airboats provided by Husheng tradingpany and headed north.


    They were the second batch. The first batch had already had 500 cultivators leaving from anlingst month. There would be another batchter, probably three to four hundred people.


    In this way, anling Prefecture alone had mobilized over a thousand cultivators.


    In the four counties of the Feiyun state, there were about five thousand itinerant cultivators from each family n who had been recruited. In addition to the five thousand cultivators that the Qingfeng sect had sent out, they had sent over ten thousand people to their neighbors in the North.


    Among the three famous sects of the Xue state, they had more than 20000 cultivators. With the help of the various small and medium-sized forces of the Xue state and the Feiyun state, the number of cultivators who resisted the White ghoulsing south this time reached 40000 to 50000.


    It seemed that there were not many people from the Feiyun state who went over to help, but their average strength was very strong, especially the 5000 direct disciples of the Qingfeng sect.


    At the same time, the Feiyun state’s greatest assistance to its northern neighbors was not manpower, but various resources.


    In order to support the northernnds, the prices of various items in the Feiyun state’s cultivation world began to soar.


    The Lu n also took this opportunity to make a fortune. The price of level one high-grade magic tools increased by 30 to 50 percent, and the supply was still in short supply. In particr, the Jade suppression te, which was made of energy stones, was a very useful defensive magic tool. Its price had doubled, but there were still many people who were cursing and buying it.


    In the past few years, even mortals in the Feiyun state could often seerge airboats filled with resources flying across the clouds above their heads. This also had some impact on the lives of mortals. Smart people knew that a big event was about to happen. All kinds of rumors were flying around, and the people were in chaos for a while. However, under the suppression of the major ns and forces, there was not much chaos.


    Looking at the northern border, there were already no less than ten thousand cultivators gathered in the cold wind Castle of Jinan County.


    The Xue state had a total of four counties. Jinan County was located in the Central South and was the core of the Xue state. The White sun sect, which was the strongest of the three sects, was located here. Further north, from west to east, was Jibei County, Yuyang County, and Liao County. This was the first line of defense against the White ghouls.


    The cold wind Castle located in Jinan County was the main camp for the fight against the White ghouls. Many cultivators from the Feiyun state had gathered here. They would be deployed to the front line ording to the unified requirements and distribution.


    Lu Qing, who was still on Yuyan mountain, received a system notification when Lu chaoxi arrived at cold wind Castle with the cultivators of the n.


    [ Conquest mode has been opened. It can be freely opened or closed before the end of the war. ]


    Before this, the ‘n rise system’ already had an exnation for the conquest system. However, since the war had not yet begun, he only saw this mode and could not activate it.


    He could finally open it now.


    Lu Qing did not hesitate. He immediately activated the conquest mode.


    Now, there was nothing major happening in the two core areas of the Lu n, Yuyan mountain and the spirit well vein. There was no need for him to keep an eye on them all the time.


    After the conquest mode was activated, an option to choose the main perspective of the battle appeared on Lu Qing’s system interface.


    The number of participants from the Lu n was 12. Other than Lu chaoxi and the ten Qi refinement realm cultivators he had brought with him, there was also Lu Wenen.


    Lu Wenen had left for the northern border a year and a half ago. However, at that time, the system did not give him any notification. It did not give him the authority to activate the conquest mode. Now, when he chose the first-person view, although Lu Wenen’s name was in the list, it was greyed out and could not be selected.


    This should be rted to his identity. It was true that he was a member of the n, but he did not participate in the battle as a cultivator of the Lu n. He had registered at the Qingfeng sect and became a guard of the northern border, so he was not included in the Lu n’s team.


    “I wonder how that little fellow has been spending the past one and a half years.”


    This thought rose in Lu Qing’s mind, but he did not think too much about it.


    In this kind of war, not dying for a year and a half was in itself a kind of harvest.


    He chose to focus on Lu chaoxi from the main perspective.


    Immediately, he felt that he had suddenly found a road sign far away in the North.


    With a thought, he spent 10 karma and teleported over.


    Light and shadow swirled, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were alreadypletely white.


    In the northern Xue state, there were six months of snow in a year. It might be better in Jinan, but in Liao County, it was winter for ten months a year. Only in June would the snow melt, and the weather would be good in July and August, but it would start snowing again in September.


    Lu Qing appeared less than a meter above Lu chaoxi’s head and exined to him that he had been possessed by his divine sense. Then, he began to wander around cold wind Castle.


    He had been here in the past, and when he looked at it again, it didn’t seem to have changed much.


    With the intention to test it, he began to fly north at full speed. When he arrived at the border of Jinan and was about to enter Yuyang, he felt a sense of fatigue.


    The cold wind Castle was located in the North of Jinan.


    He started to fly back and returned to Lu chaoxi’s side before he ran out of energy.


    In an instant, he felt his fatigue being dispelled.


    Sure enough, in the conquest mode, the family members who were chosen as the main perspective would be his new base. At least when he returned from his flight exploration, he would be able to recover during the time he was out, just like his physical body.


    “If only this function could be used in normal mode, how great would that be?”
