Chapter 691: Lu Family’s Ancestral Patriarch? 2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The greater the power of the family within, the stronger it is.…
In the following time,
Luo Yao did not seek trouble with the Lu Family of Qiuyue City.
He simply stayed quietly in a room, browsing through one confidential document after another.
That boy, Luo Ze, was somewhat listlessly standing at Luo Yao’s side.
Sometimes daydreaming, sometimes polishing the Spiritual Sword in his hands.
As one of the Shadow Guard Three Great Commanders, Zhen,
remained by Luo Yao’s side during this time, silently attending to him.
As for the Lu Family of Qiuyue City?
Initially, the mood of the current Family Head of the Lu Family was still quite calm.
The Luo Family of Qingshi City was undeniably powerful.
An existence as terrifying as this was not something that the Lu Family of Qiuyue City could contend with.
But if it were just an ordinary person from the Luo Family of Qingshi City,
then the Lu Family of Qiuyue City was not so easily manipulated by anyone who came along.
…
In a blink, more time passed.
At the Lu Family estate in Qiuyue City,
in the room where the Family Head was located.
At this moment, Lu Jiancheng, the current Family Head of the Lu Family, was sitting quietly at a principal seat in the room.
His expression looked relaxed and pleased as he sipped the hot tea in his hand.
“Judging by the time, it should be about right, right?”
After finishing the tea in his hand,
he put down his teacup, his expression calm as he slowly gazed into the distance.
However, as he waited in silence,
he did not receive any good news.
Instead, a message arrived that made him feel somewhat panicked.
“Are you sure that the person from the Luo Family of Qingshi City is not dead?”
Inside the room,
Lu Jiancheng, looking somewhat stern, anxiously asked the Lu Family servant beside him.
In response to such an inquiry from his Family Head,
the servant of the Lu Family shook his head repeatedly.
“The warehouse where a large number of confidential documents were stored is still intact?”
A moment later,
Lu Jiancheng asked again.
The servant of the Lu Family shook his head once more.
This time, Lu Jiancheng, the current Family Head of the Lu Family, truly became silent.
He had seen the changes in the sky before,
Under such a massive shock, it was not just about wanting to kill a person.
Even erasing a Cultivator in the Blood Refinement Realm would probably not be difficult.
But what the current Family Head of the Lu Family hadn’t expected was…
Under such a massive and terrifying shock,
not only did the person from the Luo Family of Qingshi City not die,
but even the warehouse that contained many confidential documents was still perfectly intact.
Moreover, the Mysterious Cultivator he had sent out before, who often followed his ancestor, had not returned.
With so many circumstances overlapping,
a thought gradually formed in his mind.
Perhaps, the person from the Luo Family of Qingshi City was not an ordinary member of the Luo Family Clan.
The identity of the person from the Luo Family of Qingshi City might be far more noble than he had imagined.
“This is looking rather bad…”
Lu Jiancheng slightly narrowed his eyes.
It was evident that there was a fleeting look of panic in those half-closed eyes.
If the one who came to Qiuyue City was merely an ordinary person from the Luo Family of Qingshi City,
he could concoct many reasons after having killed that person.
He did not believe that the Luo Family of Qingshi City would annihilate the entire Lu Family of Qiuyue City without any evidence.
Because if they did so without any evidence,
many of the family powers under the Luo Family might also face a path of destruction.
But if the identity of the person from the Luo Family of Qingshi City, who came to Qiuyue City to investigate tax matters, was very noble,
then the situation would really become problematic.
And what’s more, his Lu Family of Qiuyue City had taken action against that person from the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
In such a case, what was already a problematic situation,
was becoming even more troubling.
It was even possible that, after not too long, his Lu Family of Qiuyue City would face the greatest crisis since its founding.
…
After pondering for a while,
Lu Jiancheng, the current head of the Lu Family, left the room in a somewhat panicked manner.
Considering how dire the situation had become,
he would have to seek guidance from their ancestral elder for all future matters.
At present, the only one capable of resolving this crisis for the Lu Family
might be their elder ancestor, whose cultivation had reached the Blood Refinement Realm, having slain no less than a dozen practitioners of the same realm.
…
Behind the mountains of the Lu Family Clan,
outside a cave untouched by light.
Lu Jiancheng, the current Family Head of the Lu Family clad in blue,
stood silently outside this cave.
His face showed slight hesitation as he peered into it.
Just a short while ago, the same elder ancestor had told him not to disturb his cultivation unless absolutely necessary.
Yet now, after not very long at all,
he found himself outside the cave once more,
seeking to call upon the elder ancestor to emerge.
“Sigh…”
Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly,
Lu Jiancheng finally made up his mind.
He walked steadily towards the cave’s interior.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Soon, he reached the depths of the cave.
The cave’s interior was cool.
Although no light could penetrate this cave, its depths were brightly illuminated.
“I have said that unless it’s necessary, do not disturb my cultivation,”
“Yet here you are.”
“I need an explanation.”
An aged voice slowly wafted forward from ahead.
Hearing that familiar, weathered voice, Lu Jiancheng’s legs weakened, and he knelt down on the ground.
“Disturbing the ancestor’s cultivation is not my desire,”
“Not long ago, people from the Qingshi City Luo Family came to our Lu Family’s territory in Qiuyue City.”
“It seems they were investigating matters concerning taxation.”
“I had thought to have someone intercept and kill the person from the Qingshi City Luo Family, but unexpectedly…”
“Even after sending the cultivator who often accompanied you, the person from the Qingshi City Luo Family was unharmed.”
“And that cultivator who often followed you seemed to have perished at the hands of the person from the Qingshi City Luo Family.”
“After much deliberation and many reluctances,”
“I thus sought you out.”
Having said all this, Lu Jiancheng, the current head of the Lu Family, finally bowed his head slightly, closed his mouth, and fell silent.
“The person from Qingshi City Luo Family?”
At the very back of the cave, an old man sitting crossed-legged, upon hearing what Lu Jiancheng had said,
finally opened his tightly shut eyes.
In an instant, he vanished into thin air,
and when he reappeared, he stood right beside Lu Jiancheng.
“Is everything you’ve just told me the truth?”
The elder peered silently at Lu Jiancheng kneeling on the ground and gently asked him in a rather calm voice.
“Absolutely true…”
Lu Jiancheng said with his head lowered.
Upon hearing this, the elder slightly bowed his head and became somewhat silent.
Lu Jiancheng, as well as the other members of the Lu Family,
might not have a great deal of knowledge about the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
But Lu Wushi, the elder ancestor of the Lu Family,
undoubtedly knew far more about the Luo Family of Qingshi City than his younger relatives did.
Not to mention others, but specifically the elder ancestor of the Luo Family from Qingshi City.
He was truly a formidable old monster.
It was well-known that a long time ago,
his cultivation had advanced from the Blood Refinement Realm to the final stage of the Five Realms of Mortality, Mortal Transcendence.
Mortal Transcendence, Mortal Transcendence.
Shedding the mortal coil, half a step away from being celestial.
Perhaps, ordinary people or cultivators of lower realms might say,
there are only a few minor realms separating the Blood Refinement Realm from Mortal Transcendence—in practice, the gap should not be vast.
But is this really the case?
