"Let me go!"
Chen Jiu's spirit, tears streaming down its face, struggled incessantly.
"Master Lu, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
After dying once, Chen did not immediately become a fearless warrior; instead, he became even more afraid of death.
He dared to be so arrogant just now only because he was facing a dead end; he was just being stubborn.
Now that he's discovered that death isn't the end, and he might even have to suffer in hell, Chen immediately chickened out.
What a load of rubbish about family heritage and style! That stuff is just for fooling people. Who would believe it?
A person with integrity will always have integrity, while a person without integrity will be a waste no matter how well they are born.
"Spare me! Master Lu, spare me! I have money, I can help you set up an altar and build a temple, I can worship you as a god."
"I know I was wrong. I can be a dog too."
Knowing that he would die and then suffer in hell, Chen struggled frantically, weeping and even swearing oaths.
But the body still couldn't resist the suction force and was completely swallowed up by the hellish dream.
Xu Si and everyone else in the hall fell silent.
If they were still stung by Chen Jiu's dying words, all they felt now was deep contempt.
Damn it, he was putting on such a good act of pretending to die, but now that he's found out he'll suffer even after death, he's showing his true colors.
At that moment, a sense of enlightenment arose in the minds of the professional team present.
The aristocratic families seemed no different from the Quanxing they usually captured, except they were better at putting on an act...
Also, the road chief is awesome.
With the event completely over, the professional team began cleaning up the site.
Xu Si frowned as he looked at the many ordinary people who were fast asleep in front of him.
So many ordinary people are a huge problem.
"Master Lu, what should we do with these people?"
"I've erased their memories. They'll only remember that they came to the banquet. What happens next is up to you to make up a story!"
Xu Si's eyes lit up. Was there really such a good thing?
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Xu Si thumped his chest loudly, "With me, Xu Si, here, cleaning up the mess is absolutely no problem!"
"Fourth Brother, you're here? Hey! Where's Master Lu?"
Wang Er carried a corpse over and saw Xu Si talking to himself in the air.
Wang Er: Has Xu Si gone mad?
Xu Si: "...?"
He glanced at Lu Xuan out of the corner of his eye.
He glanced again at Wang Er, who was certain he couldn't see Lu Xuan.
After scanning the room and confirming that only he could see Lu Xuan's "existence," Xu Si broke out in a cold sweat.
Holy crap... how gloomy is this?
"The Yang God goes on a journey..."
"Or is it all just a pipe dream?"
Xu Si swallowed hard, wishing he could pinch himself.
Ever since he learned of the existence of the Yellow Millet Technique, Xu Si has been unsure whether he is still lucid.
He waved Wang Er away and couldn't help but speak up.
"Master Lu, you wouldn't be... "
Xu Si's mind went blank for a moment. He thought of the Wang family. If the countdown of the Wang family's blood condensing in Wang Family Square was accurate, the time seemed to be almost up...
Lu Xuan in Xu Si's eyes slowly faded away, leaving only lingering echoes.
"I'm on the train to Beijing right now."
Xu Si: "..."
To avoid dying in confusion later, he stopped asking why he was on a train.
It’s really hard to guess!
Chapter 165: What kind of start is this lousy meeting going to make every day!
time flies.
Within a day, news of the destruction of Chen Family Village spread throughout the entire world of supernatural beings.
At first, the powerful families and forces in the world of supernatural beings thought that this so-called "demon-slaying" was just Lu Xuan's youthful ignorance or an action to "gain fame".
After all, there are many righteous young people who want to gain fame through Quanxing. Although many of them end up dying and their paths disappearing, some still succeed.
Compared to them, Lu Xuan was at most slightly stronger...
Even some members of the Quanxing faction didn't take it seriously, and pretended to announce their "retirement" or "washing their hands of the trade."
Some even dismissed it as a "storm" that would soon subside.
Until the last remaining "Quanxing" in the Central China region was killed in a very tragic manner by Lu Xuanyang's divine journey.
Even Chenjiazhuang was destroyed.
This news is far more important than the complete death of the "survivors" in several major regions of Central China.
Chen Family Village is no insignificant force; it is a century-old clan, a deeply rooted behemoth.
Everyone believes that aristocratic families are "born extraordinary" and "unattainable," and must be born noble and different from others.
Each aristocratic family is a behemoth, like a ghost wandering the world, or like a vast root system buried deep underground that cannot be extinguished by wildfire; they are indestructible...
This is how the powerful families deceived people, and in the end, not only did ordinary people in the world of supernatural beings believe them, but even they themselves came to believe them.
Until all the hundreds of people in Chenjiazhuang were killed, along with the vast network of relationships in Chenjiazhuang, all were wiped out in one fell swoop.
Strangely enough, the other aristocratic families were curious why Chen had gathered so many people under the guise of celebrating his birthday, even though it wasn't his birthday yet, only to have them all die suddenly, leaving not a trace of his legacy.
What allows aristocratic families to endure for so long is their deep-rooted influence and resilience, like a centipede that, though dead, does not fall down.
As a result, all the manpower, blood relatives, relationships, and connections of Chen Family Village were gathered together at Chen Jiu's birthday banquet and wiped out by Lu Xuan in one fell swoop.
According to the family genealogy, not to mention the collateral branches, it is said that even the earthworms at the entrance of Chenjiazhuang were cut open vertically, and the eggs were shaken until the yolks were broken.
Many powerful families wanted to manipulate public opinion and support a representative of the Chen family to deal with Lu Xuan, but they couldn't even find a direct blood relative to connect with.
Chenjiazhuang was wiped out completely, without even a breath left, let alone "dead but not stiff" and "returning like lightning"!
In just one day, news of the destruction of Chen Family Village and its associated powerful families, as well as the remaining Quanxing in the Central China region, spread throughout the world of supernatural beings.
As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. Once the news of the destruction of Chen Family Village came out, the entire world of supernatural beings knew of Lu Xuan's determination, and no one treated the matter as a joke anymore.
"So this is what aristocratic families are like!"
Such an idea then spread throughout the world of supernatural beings, making more and more people restless.
But as restless as they may be, the powerful families' facades are mostly just paper; they don't actually possess that much real ability.
No matter how stubborn they are, they can't withstand swords and blades. Even if they wear their lips out, they can't withstand a single sword strike from Lu Xuan.
Then what should be done?
Come out! It's NaDuTong Company!
Come and uphold justice!
Does Nadutong Company just stand by and watch Lu Xuan disrupt the balance of the supernatural world?
If we can't control Lu Xuan, can't we control you, Zhao Fangxu?
The vast network of relationships woven by the powerful families could not stop Lu Xuan's sword, but it could cause Zhao Fangxu, the chairman of Na Du Tong Company, a lot of trouble.
A meeting that had been scheduled long ago quietly began.
The headquarters and offices of Nadutong Company.
The Ten Elders Conference was thus convened amidst turbulent undercurrents.
Although no one took this meeting seriously at the beginning, it was all thanks to the great efforts of the powerful families.
The Ten Elders Conference exists to mediate or discuss major events within the world of supernatural beings. It cannot be said to be useless; at the very least, it serves as a fig leaf covering up the situation within the world of supernatural beings.
But this meeting of the ten elders really seemed very superficial...
First of all, Zhang Zhiwei, the leader of the Ten Elders, had already entered a semi-retired state after sending off Lu Xuan with the full force of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion following the Battle of Longhu Mountain.
This resulted in the old master Zhang Zhiwei not coming at all.
Even if he came now, because of his actions, he would have already been categorized as being on Lu Xuan's side.
Then there's Lu Jin...
Let's not even talk about that. It's said that Lu Jin laughed so hard his jaw dropped when he heard that Quanxing in District One had been wiped out. Right now, he's the one laughing the loudest in the conference room.
Counting down further, there's Feng Zhenghao and "Lu Ci"...
Zhao Fangxu:? ? ?
Oh! It's Lü Ci.
Feng Zhenghao, that two-faced scoundrel, is relentlessly pursuing the Wang family.
As for the previous rumors of loyalty to the Wang family and enmity with Lu Xuan, everyone can now see that it was all nonsense.
Feng Zhenghao might have already become Lu Xuan's dog!
Lu Ci is even more shameless.
This mad dog knelt in Wudang for several days with its great-grandson.
