While following Lu Mingchao, Lu Qing opened the system and checked the income just now as she watched her killing people in Pingyao.

【Two-star Achievement: Killing Foundation Building】

[Cumulative killing of foundation-building monks reaches 5, rewarding 250 karma]

...

This reward is basically equivalent to the two two-star combat options that Lu Qing just exchanged for.

Of course, the exchange items used are also a kind of resource. Now that the war is over, he cannot enter the conquest mode to swipe the battle exchange items. There are still five left, so he has to save as much as possible.

However, if the Lu family starts a war with the Zhao family, will the conquest mode be activated for the second time?

Lu Qing is a little confused now.

Before, Lu Qing had also talked about the Zhao family with several of the family's chiefs. At that time, he and his children basically reached a consensus to start a war, so he had to delay as much as possible.

The Lu family is now doing a major project. The upgrade of the spiritual vein of Yuyan Mountain makes the Lu family pay one thousand spirit stones every year. At the same time, before the upgrade of the spiritual vein was completed, Chaoxi's cultivation was also one thousand spirit stones every year.

The fixed expenditure of these two thousand spirit stones is quite stressful. Including other daily expenses, the Lu family had to spend more than four thousand spirit stones every year during this special period of ten years.

This expenditure is simply not saved.

If Lu Chaoxi hadn't decided not to have a salary for the past ten years and according to the treatment given to Qiming monks by ordinary families, it would have been the expense of another thousand spirit stones.

Relatively speaking, the annual income is only 3,500 yuan.

Although the Lu family has developed rapidly over the years, it is inevitable that it has a weak foundation. If it weren't for bringing back 18,000 spirit stones from the battlefield, I'd probably not be able to withstand it.

In this case, it is unwise to go to war with the Zhao family.

War is a gold-swallowing beast. Although there is no saying in this world that "a cannon fires, a thousand taels of gold are the same, the principles are the same.

This is especially true when monks fight. Spells and elixirs are consumables, and the key prices are all expensive. If one party prepares a few talismans when fighting, the situation will be completely different.

And even if it is a magic weapon, although it can be used for a long time, it will be ruined if it is really beaten.

The pension after the monk's death, the reward after the victory... are all money.

Look at the Battle of Northern Xinjiang. In the two weeks, the coalition forces launched tens of thousands of monks to fight against the white ghost. After more than a year of fighting, it is estimated that the spirit stones spent by the four major forces led by Qingfeng Sect will be in millions, otherwise how could it be said that they would be damaged?

If the Lu family starts war with the Zhao family now, the family will have great financial pressure.

The best choice is to delay for ten years. When the spiritual vein is upgraded, maybe Lu Mingchao will be Qiming too. At that time, the Lu family will be vying with Zhao again, and the pressure will be much lighter and the chance of victory will be much greater.

But people do not do things completely rationally.

This incident was caused by Zhao's greed and the resentment of the three Qi-training monks of the Lu family. Then the situation was further escalated under Zhao Pingliang's identity and ridiculed without giving in. Ming Chao fought to death until Zhao Pingliang died.

After killing Zhao Pingliang, the whole thing was already so bad that it was a certain nature.

The seven foundation-building monks of the Zhao family died in the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, and only four were left. The most promising and strongest one died at the hands of the Lu family in Pingyao County.

The news came back to Zhao, and the battle must be started.

Since I was going to fight anyway, there was no need to have any appeasement. Zhao's family stationed 14 monks in Pingyao County all year round, and they were killed.

These monks from the Zhao family were not mentally prepared. When they heard and felt the movements of the county government, they became alert, but they did not know what was going on, and they would not run away because of this.

When Mingchao came to his front, there was no way out.

She first killed all three Zhao family monks in the county government, five casual cultivators and more than 30 servants who worked for the Lu family.

Then he drove the flying sword and headed to the mansion where the artificial spiritual veins were opened in the county town. The Zhao Mansion is here.

Her water cloud horse was severely injured by Zhao Pingliang's sword balls on the spot. She was already dying at the end of the battle, and fortunately she had a spare flying sword in her hand.

After arriving at Zhao's mansion, Mingchao continued to kill.

The spiritual power she has reserved is actually less than 30% of that of her heyday. However, there is still no big problem with a group of Qi training monks who have no formations and are suddenly attacked.

The most impressive place in Pingyao County is the Zhao Mansion. It covers a large area and currently has seven Qi training monks living in the Zhao family, fifteen casual cultivators who obey the orders of the Zhao family and follow the Zhao family, and hundreds of Zhao family servants.

Lu Mingchao took out her Cloud-Jiu Zhuang Gu Cup, transformed into a large area of ​​poisonous fog, and sprinkled it. The hundred mortals died shortly after they came into contact with the poisonous fog. Even those who were relatively weak in the Qi Refining Stage could not last long under the poisonous fog.

A young Qi-training monk jumped out and ran out while cursing: "Where did the thief come from? You dare to go to Zhao Mansion so boldly?! Are you tired of living!"

Lu Mingchao recognized this person's identity. He was Zhao Qing'an and Zhao Pingsong's son. She even vaguely remembered that Lu Mings was injured while selling horses, and this guy was behind him who was doing bad things.

With a cold snorting, Cuifeng Shiqing Sword carried a green light, and in an instant, the sword light flashed back and forth several times, and Zhao Qing'an was divided into seven or eight pieces of flesh, and his soul was wiped out.

Some qi-training monks who have the ability and do not die in the poisonous fog are not scared when they see this scene? They can't fly, so they can only show their magical powers and find ways to escape.

But how could he pass Lu Mingchao?

Cuifeng Shiqing Sword and Boying Yinli Water Screw become two major means of killing the enemy.

When dealing with these Qi-trained monks, the Yinli Water Screw is not just a control effect. It can easily take away the magic weapon and wrap it around your neck. With Ming Chao's gesture upward, it can hang the person into the air. The Qi-trained monks who are hanging up will struggle for a while and will soon die.

In this way, within an hour, Mingchao killed all the moving things in Zhao's mansion, and did not let anyone go.

Afterwards, she visited several other places in the city and captured the other three people who were still alive in Zhao and killed them all.

By dawn, the Zhao family monks died. In addition to these fourteen people, Mingchao also killed some of the casual cultivators and slaves who had been with the Zhao family for many years when they saw it.

In one night, at least more than 150 people died at Lu Mingchao's hands, including nearly 40 monks, and the rest were ordinary servants in the Zhao Mansion.

As for monks alone, at least nearly a hundred monks live here in Pingyao County all year round, and nearly half of them were killed.

Those who are still alive are basically ordinary casual cultivators who usually get closer to the Lu family or do not compete with the two families at all.

Now, they are extremely glad that there is no problem with their position.

At the same time, this day was called "Pingyao Blood Night" by the monks in Pingyao, and Lu Mingchao also got the nickname "Blood Girl" after that night.

...

The next morning, Lu Tinghua brought Mins and Mei Ting into the city. After learning what happened last night, he was shocked and reacted quickly.

On the one hand, we washed the Zhao family's treasury first, and more than 700 spirit stones were found in this wave.

In addition, the Lu family also came down from Yuyan Mountain to occupy a key position in the city, and at least ensured the operation of the town.

At the same time, the Lu family also comforted the remaining casual cultivators in Pingyao.

There were a lot of things and time was tight. Lu Chaoxi heard about his sister's murder in Pingyao on the mountain, and quickly woke Chaohe up. Lu Chaohe could only end his retreat in a hurry, went down the mountain to Pingyao County, and began to set up a formation.

This is purely preparing for war.

When he was setting up the magic circle, when he saw his sister, he had some blame in his tone.

He felt that Lu Mingchao's methods last night were a bit too cruel, and he just killed the monks. There was no need to slaughter mortals, even if they were slaves of Zhao.

Mingchao also recognized it.

She was really furious last night.

After dawn, she regretted it a little. Those mortal slaves were indeed a little innocent.

But then I thought about it that they were also working for the Zhao family. When the Zhao family was in great power, these Zhao family servants were also showing off their power in Pingyao. Since they had enjoyed the dividends, then burying them with them when the Zhao family fell may be the price they had to pay.

Chaohe was also helpless and just said, "This matter will be very bad for your reputation."

"It doesn't matter." Ming Chao said, "I'll kill the person I should kill in the future."

"well……"

...

Such a big thing happened, and it was known to the whole city that night, and it must be impossible to hide it. Ten days later, basically the people who were a little more informed in Anling County knew what happened in Pingyao.

Everyone's eyes looked at Zhao.

Zhao must have reacted.

In Anling County, they invited various counties and families, famous casual cultivators, and even some people from other counties to hold a conference.

At the meeting, they announced what Lu Mingchao did in Pingyao County ten days ago, adding fuel to the fire, portraying her as a murderer, and then swearing to take revenge.

This approach is very open and tricky.

But those who are interested can see that the suspicion of splashing dirty water is very suspicious. They use words such as "incredible books", "evil is full of evil", and "blood flows into a river", as if Lu Mingchao slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in the county...

"It seems that if Zhao Pingliang killed Lu Mingchao and Lu Xueting on the spot, he would not have removed the Lu family's forces in Pingyao overnight."

Many people think so in their hearts.

However, no one jumped out to sing the Zhao family's opposite at this time. Even many of their allies in Anling County were stolen at the venue, and the noise was quite incitement.

In the end, outside the gate of Anling County, hundreds of Zhao family monks and three still alive foundation-building masters, led by Zhao Zhengke, the clan leader Qiming monk, gathered at the gate of the city and prepared to set off.

An old man with a good appearance and white hair and hair stood in front of them.

"Senior Brother Qiu, what advice do you have?" Zhao Zhengke walked up and asked with his hands.

"Senior Brother Zhao, the sect will probably not be happy about such a big fight." Qiu Wanyong came to persuade him.

When Zhao Zhengke heard Qiu Wanyong's persuasion, he smiled angrily: "What does Senior Brother Qiu mean is to tell me to forget about the Zhao family?"

"That's not what it means..."

"No need to say anything more!" Zhao Zhengke interrupted sternly, "The Lu family is in Pingyao County, killing our tribe and insulting our family. If you don't take this revenge, how can I gain a foothold in Anling?"

Qiu Wanyong was so rude to speak so impolitely, and it was difficult for him to continue to be gentle: "What is the point of the sect who will make the decision, act privately, and provoke a fight, what will it be?"
To be continued...
