Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone-Chapter 840 - 661: The Eve of the Expedition (Part 3)

Of course, it can only briefly withstand.

Under the continuous assault from Void Refining Cultivators, an array formed by over ten thousand Golden Core Cultivators won't last long before collapsing completely, with all of them killed.

But at least it can have some effect.

The Lu Family entered total mobilization, gathering three million Golden Core Cultivators, twenty-five thousand Nascent Soul Cultivators, eight hundred Divinity Transformation Cultivators, and eight Void Refining Cultivators together for final checks and preparations.

For this battle, Lu Xuanji devised several plans.

Plan one, the Lu Family wins easily, exterminates the remnants, then starts occupying the Jin Country, gradually digesting the fruits of victory;

Plan two, the Lu Family wins with difficulty, suffering heavy losses, then needs to transfer benefits to certain people;

Plan three, the Lu Family suffers a disastrous defeat, losing elite forces, with one part of the Lu Family cultivators escaping into the Grotto Heaven for refuge; another part dispersing into other countries, preserving the seeds of the Lu Family.

The best and worst plans, Lu Xuanji has calculated them all.

Only by preparing more, having more backup plans, can one ensure safety and peace of mind.

The Lu Family is preparing everything, and will set out in at most three days.

Over the years, the Lu Family has been constantly at war, battling against Demon Cultivation, Demon Cultivation, Otherworld Cultivators, and local cultivators. However, these battles, overall, were not large in scale, but this time they've mobilized cultivators above the seventh layer of Lu Family, deploying the majority of their main forces.

If the Lu Family loses this battle, it won't be just a matter of injury, but a catastrophe.

In the past, many forces subservient to the Lu Family would also retaliate and besiege.

When the wall falls, everyone will push, and when one is down, others will strike while they're down—this is everyone's tactic.

On the day before the Lu Family's expedition, Lu Xuanji departed quietly.

He arrived at a remote town, which had only a few Qi Refining Cultivators, very low-key and inconspicuous. But Lu Xuanji went to an inn, patiently waiting.

A moment later, a woman arrived, dressed in a white gown, her skin like snow, her appearance was delicate, with long legs, exceedingly charming. Her looks weren't strikingly beautiful, but they gave a sense of reassurance. She walked in and respectfully said, "Greetings, Master!"

This person was Fang Liuli.

In the past, Lu Xuanji had planted her as a pawn outside, responsible for intelligence.

Lu Xuanji maintained a singular contact with Fang Liuli, outsiders had no knowledge of their relationship, not even anyone in the Lu Family.

Lu Xuanji looked at the woman in front of him and said, "Not bad, not bad, Fang Liuli, your aptitude is average, but your luck is good, you've actually stepped into the Void Refining Realm!"

Fang Liuli said, "That's my luck. If it weren't for Master providing those resources, I might not have reached this step."

Recalling the past, she couldn't help but sigh with mixed emotions.

Back then, she was merely a sect leader of a small sect at the Peak of Nascent Soul, her aptitude was average, her comprehension was average. If there were no accidents, the Peak of Nascent Soul would have been her lifetime peak. As for stepping into Divinity Transformation, the probability might be less than a tenth.

However, this Master saved her, she pledged allegiance to him, scouting intelligence for him, handling some things afterward. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Her luck continuously improved, with a tenth probability, she stepped into Divinity Transformation; next, another very low probability, she entered the Void Refining Realm.

Lu Xuanji said, "Void Refining, my help to you isn't significant, it's still your excellence. Otherwise, our Lu Family wouldn't have just twelve Void Refining individuals...By the way, how's Jin Country situation, intelligence-wise?"

He seems reckless, but at heart, he's cautious and prudent.

Fang Liuli said, "Master, Jin Country looks calm, but I can only scout peripheral intelligence, trying to delve deeper is impossible, or one only finds irrelevant information. This already indicates some issues, Jin Country is very dangerous!"

Lu Xuanji frowned and said, "How dangerous?"

Fang Liuli said, "Three major sects have faced extermination, countless forces faced destruction. When such large forces are weak, they habitually migrate their forces to some barbaric lands. Coincidentally, Jin Country, Qi Country, Chu Country are the barbaric lands."

Lu Xuanji sighed and said, "This is the reason for my actions. Our Chu Country is already under watch, some are probing our Lu Family. Lu Family's situation is somewhat perilous, once mishandled, it might face siege from large forces, it's a catastrophe. We can only strike proactively, one punch knocks out, avoiding a hundred punches!"

"Just like a weak dog, the weaker it is, the louder and crazier it must bark to scare off a crowd. Otherwise, the small dog will just be chopped and turned into dog meat."

Fang Liuli remained silent.

The Lu Family's situation is somewhat perilous; to avoid getting chopped into dog meat, they can only gamble everything.

No choice.

Fang Liuli asked, "Master, how powerful are you?"

Lu Xuanji said, "Unrivaled below Harmonization, ranked in the top five of Peak Void Refining, possibly even higher. Those deemed extraordinary talents can't withstand a single blow from me. I've never worried. In Void Refining level battles, only concerned about those Harmonization masters, and Tribulation Crossing figures, they might strike!"

In the Cultivation Immortality Realm, it's common for the strong to overpower the weak.

Unless backed by a big authority, enemies fear it and adhere to rules.

Fang Liuli said, "Rest assured, Master, those Harmonization masters, Tribulation Crossing figures won't strike. Their injuries are very severe, much more serious than you imagined."

Lu Xuanji curiously asked, "How severe are their injuries?"

These veteran figures, the severity of their injuries, determines his upcoming policies and methods, and the response strategies.
