Plotting Against the Lu Family!

The next day!

Lu Family Residence!

In Lu Xuan's courtyard, the atmosphere that had always been tranquil was shattered by cries of pain.

"Ah!"

"Cousin, why are you hitting so hard?!"

"Ah!"

"Stop hitting me, stop! Stop!"

After a while!

What met Lu Xuan's eyes was Liang Cheng lying on the ground like a lump of mud, utterly motionless, letting out pained groans from time to time.

"Why are you still lying on the ground? Hurry up and get up!"

After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Liang Cheng struggled for quite some time before finally getting to his feet.

With a face full of misery, he looked at Lu Xuan before him and hurriedly begged, "Cousin, is this really you instructing me in martial arts?"

"Why do I feel like Xuan-ge is just beating the hell out of me?!"

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, expressionless. Only after seeing Liang Cheng's face swollen like a pig's head did he speak. "You brat, you should be grinning in secret just for receiving my guidance."

What Lu Xuan said was true.

For Liang Cheng to receive guidance from a martial arts expert of the Inner Qi Realm like Lu Xuan, his treatment was simply beyond compare.

If word got out, those seeking Lu Xuan's guidance would be as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river, lining up all the way from Azure Cloud County to the Prefecture.

"Really, Xuan-ge?"

"Even so, you have to let me catch my breath first!"

After Lu Xuan's guidance throughout the morning, Liang Cheng could clearly feel his martial arts cultivation growing more and more refined.

But the price was still too steep. His cousin had not held back in the slightest and had imposed extremely strict demands on him.

Forget it!

Lu Xuan glanced at Liang Cheng and decided to let him rest first.

Otherwise, he was truly afraid that he would beat this kid into fear, causing him to give up halfway again.

It seemed he needed to find a few Flesh Refining Realm martial artists to spar with Liang Cheng.

With that thought, Lu Xuan walked outside the courtyard and casually called over a servant. "Go find Uncle Li and have him arrange for a few Flesh Refining Realm martial artists to come over."

"Yes, Young Master!"

On the other side of the Lu Family Residence, two people, one tall and one short, were crammed into a rather shabby little room.

They were none other than the Second Head and Third Head, who had successfully infiltrated the Lu Family.

"Junior Brother, we can make our move tonight. Leave only that old man of the Lu Family and his relatives alive. Kill everyone else, so no word can leak out!"

"Heh heh heh!"

"Good!"

"I've long found those pieces of trash an eyesore!"

After hearing the Second Head's words, the Third Head, who had been pretending to be honest and simple-minded, immediately revealed his true nature, wearing a bloodthirsty and crazed expression.

They had not slept at all last night, scouting the routes around the Lu Family so they could act tonight.

Knock, knock, knock!

At that moment, knocking sounded from outside the door, followed by a voice.

"Hey, Black Wind, Black Tiger, are you two in there? Uncle Li wants us to go to the Young Master's place."

The commotion outside caused the Third Head in the room to resume his honest and simple-minded appearance.

"Oh, we're here! We'll be right out!"

The Second Head hurriedly shouted back.

At the same time, he was somewhat puzzled. Why did this so-called Young Master of the Lu Family suddenly want to see guards like them for no reason?

From the moment the two of them entered the Lu Family, someone had told them about the Lu Family's Young Master.

It was to make them remember the Young Master's taboos and avoid offending him.

Tch!

He was merely the spoiled son of a wealthy family from some tiny County Town.

They even claimed he was a martial arts fanatic, a genius devoted wholeheartedly to bitter cultivation.

In the Second Head's eyes, he was nothing more than a useless showboat with flashy moves.

Only those who had experienced the dangers of the outside world could be considered true martial arts powerhouses.

"Young Master, these five are all Flesh Refining Realm martial artists. What do you need them for?"

The Lu Family's Guard Captain, Li Mingzhong, was somewhat puzzled, seemingly unable to understand his Young Master's intentions.

Lu Xuan said calmly, "Nothing much. I just want them to test Liang Cheng's skills and spar with him."

Then Lu Xuan looked at the five Flesh Refining Realm martial artists. Just as he was about to select three of them—

Suddenly, a trace of surprise appeared in Lu Xuan's eyes when he saw two among the five.

But Lu Xuan swiftly concealed that surprise, pretending nothing had happened.

Lu Xuan stared at the two standing amid the five, one tall and one short, and spoke expressionlessly. "Uncle Li, these two are..."

Following Lu Xuan's gaze, Li Mingzhong immediately realized what he meant and quickly explained, "Oh, right, I nearly forgot."

"In reply to Young Master, these two arrived yesterday. Master brought them back."

"They're brothers. The tall one is called Black Tiger, and the short one is called Black Wind."

After hearing Li Mingzhong's explanation, Lu Xuan looked meaningfully at the two before him.

They might be able to deceive others, but they could not deceive Lu Xuan's senses.

With his Inner Qi Realm cultivation, Lu Xuan's five senses were exceptionally sharp. He had already detected the power they were concealing.

Two Bone Refining Realm martial artists were actually pretending to be Flesh Refining Realm martial artists.

And they had come to the Lu Family while putting on such harmless appearances. They were clearly up to no good.

"Let these two stay. Uncle Li, take the others back first."

Though Li Mingzhong found it somewhat strange, he said nothing more and directly led the remaining three away from Lu Xuan's courtyard.

At that moment, Liang Cheng also walked over, curiously eyeing the two people who had appeared here.

"Xuan-ge, they are..."

With his back to Liang Cheng, Lu Xuan raised a hand to signal him to stay quiet.

Then Lu Xuan looked at the two men who had remained and said, "You two are Flesh Refining Realm martial artists, correct?"

The Second Head forcibly suppressed his disgust and compelled himself to answer, "Yes, Young Master."

Damn it, this piece of trash. Tonight, I'll make sure he gets a good taste of my methods.

At that moment, the corners of Lu Xuan's lips curled upward slightly. Looking at the two of them, he said teasingly,

"Very good. Next, the two of you will practice with me. My Flesh Refining Realm cultivation has happened to encounter a bottleneck.

"Only practical combat experience can allow me to swiftly break through this Flesh Refining Realm bottleneck."

"Remember, I won't hold back later. The two of you must give it everything you've got, otherwise I'm afraid I might accidentally injure you."

The Second Head sneered inwardly. After all that talk, this Young Master of the Lu Family truly was a useless fool.

A mere Flesh Refining Realm martial artist actually wanted to injure them? Utterly ridiculous.

"Young Master, please rest assured. My brother and I know what to do."

Before the Second Head could even raise his head after speaking—

Whoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart rang out, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind rushing straight at him.

The next instant, a massive fist rapidly expanded in the Second Head's vision.

Smack!

At last, with a dull impact, an object shot into the distance like a cannonball before crashing heavily onto the ground.
