Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 280 Radiant Light, Blazing Sacred Flame

"As the elders should know, my Lü family did not have the Minghun Technique passed down a hundred years ago."

Lu Qian stood alone in the arena, a gentle breeze ruffling his hair and robes, as if the pages of history were being turned at this moment.

He stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and made calculations with his fingers. On those fluttering fingers, there seemed to be fleeting shadows of time, and the flashing light judged moments of the past.

"It was only after the year of Jia Shen, sixty years ago, that the Minghun Technique was passed down in my Lü family."

The atmosphere on the platform was relaxed and natural. As they listened to Lü Qian's story, a reflection of time seemed to flash through their eyes. Then they laughed and teased, "This kid is putting on quite a show."

"Old Hedgehog, your great-grandson is even more handsome than you were in your youth, hahaha..."

"Damn, this is called being wild and unrestrained, not pretentious. Old Master, don't you think so? Back then, Old Lu was probably the youngest among us."

"roll!"

"Hahaha, it's been so many years, how come you can only say these few words when you get angry? At least say something more exciting."

In contrast to the overly cheerful atmosphere on stage, the young people sitting below all changed their expressions because of the extremely sensitive timing.

Two cycles of sixty years ago, in the year of Jia-Shen, which was the Jia-Shen Rebellion, the existence of the Eight Extraordinary Skills was the most noteworthy.

"That's right, the origin of my Lü family's Soul-Clearing Technique is the [Dual-Handed Skill] from the Eight Extraordinary Techniques!"

This time, Lü Qian didn't waste time with singing, reciting, acting, or fighting. Instead, he directly gave the answer and then looked at the crowd with different expressions with a smile.

The eyes gleamed with different lights, some with shock, some with doubt, but most with an almost blinding greed.

The next instant, an aura of perfect harmony of life flowed naturally from Lü Qian, spreading across the entire area and surrounding everyone.

This aura was faint and almost imperceptible, like a gentle breeze, but when it swept past, the greed in those eyes all turned into pure fear.

The elderly people on the platform were all startled, and then involuntarily looked at Zhang Zhiwei, who seemed like an ordinary mortal.

"What are you all staring at me for? Eat your food! Where were we? Keep going."

The old celestial master seemed oblivious, calmly and casually looking at his peers, and said rather casually, "Why are you so surprised? Aren't you all just ordinary mortals?"

"But Old Lu, your great-grandson is indeed quite extraordinary."

Zhang Zhiwei turned his gaze to Lü Qian below. The reflection in his bright, restrained pupils seemed not to be a person, but a towering, golden mountain.

The mountain seemed unreachable, yet its majestic and imposing presence was close at hand, pressing down on everyone present and creating a sense of vast difference between heaven and earth.

Invincible, unbearable to behold, incomparable, unparalleled...

All sorts of taboo thoughts arose from that sense of disparity, as if in that instant, Lü Qian had transformed into another species.

That species is more advanced and more perfect than them!

This is a gap in the level of life, like a broken jade plate seeing the crimson sun and the azure moon hanging high in the sky.

In a daze, the aura that suppressed the entire scene suddenly vanished into nothingness, as if it had never existed, but the huge difference had not yet brought everyone back to their senses.

Lu Qian smiled and exchanged a glance with the old master, then his clear voice broke the daze in everyone's hearts.

"I apologize, everyone. I was momentarily distracted and may have disturbed you. Let's continue."

"The origin of the Lü Family's Soul-Clearing Technique lies in the 'Dual-Handed Technique' among the Eight Extraordinary Skills."

This time, when almost the same words were spoken, the deep greed was gone from the eyes of the people present; only shock and doubt remained.

Seeing this, Lü Qian nodded, then clapped his hands. All the Lü family members, young and old, men and women, tall and short, stood neatly outside the side courtyard according to their bloodline, seniority, and age.

Leading the way were Lü Ci's four children: Lü Zhong, Lü Xiao, Lü Ping, and Lü Yi.

"Everyone probably has their own guesses about how the Lü family obtained the Dual-Hand Technique back then. The Lü family doesn't need to prove their innocence; after all, what's done is done, and it's just a matter of the victor taking all."

Lu Qian looked at the guests, his tone and eyes indifferent and cold, "My Lu family acknowledges the karmic consequences of the past, but as a family, why should we concern ourselves with so many things?"

As he spoke, a hazy, iridescent red and blue flame rose from his body, the two colors of light swirling and intertwining, as if a pair of giant hands were holding the lives of everyone present in their grasp.

Inside the spacious arena, towering red and blue flames illuminated all directions, making Lü Qian appear even more indifferent to joy and sorrow.

"A skillful hand means both life and health!"

"Unlike the other eight extraordinary skills, the Dual-Handed Technique was originally created for the purpose of healing and saving lives."

"But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Since these hands can become holy hands that heal the sick and save lives, they can also become demonic hands that play with lives."

As he explained, Lü Zhong, Lü Xiao, Lü Ping, and Lü Yi walked in from outside the courtyard and stood behind Lü Qian in front of everyone.

"As everyone knows, the Lü Family Soul-Searching Technique relies on the Lü Family bloodline. It is an innate technique passed down through generations, capable of searching for and seizing souls."

"The Soul-Clearing Technique is the blue hand that controls [Sex] in the Dual-Handed Hand, together with the red hand that controls [Life], forming the Dual-Handed Hand that is passed down in the Lü family bloodline."

Lu Qian stretched out his hands, and red and blue light swirled in his palms like two fish. "It seems that the Dual-Hand Technique is passed down in the Lu family bloodline, but in reality, the Lu family bloodline has become the vessel of the Dual-Hand Technique."

He turned to look at his four elders, his robes billowing, and a hazy, illusory red and blue light enveloped them.

The lights flickered and intertwined, and gradually, from the red and blue flames, wisps of black mist emanated from all around the four people, like a hazy blue smoke, so thin that it almost disappeared without a trace.

After the wisps of black mist were peeled away, they seemed to drift away and dissipate, but under the cover of the flames, they gradually gathered again and transformed into a thick mass of black gas.

The black mist churned and surged, as if desperately trying to escape the red and blue flames, but it could not break free.

As time went by, one group after another of the Lü family members walked in from outside the courtyard. Following the previous genealogical order, they entered one after another into the increasingly bright and luminous red and blue flames.

Finally, when the last member of the Lü family stepped into the radiant flames, the light from the Twin Hands suddenly surged up, and the illusory, hazy flames burned across the entire bluestone platform, igniting the figures of every member of the Lü family.

In an instant, a bright and clear light rose up in Lüjia Village, and the low-hanging, swirling clouds in the sky seemed to be ignited and illuminated by the heavenly flames.

The illusory flames scorched everyone in Lü Family Village except for Lü Ci on the high platform. They were all transformed into firewood being forged and tempered in the flames.

Wisps of black mist rose from the firewood, resembling the ash and dust produced when wood is burned.
