Overbearing

"That's the super formidable person who emerged from our Divine Water Sect in the past two years. Before the age of twenty, he had already broken through to the Celestial Human Realm, defeated the second-ranked genius of the Divine Water Sect's generation, and even cultivated the Divine Water Sect's strongest Forbidden Technique, Prajna Dragon Elephant!"

"My heavens, he broke through to the Celestial Human Realm before the age of twenty?"

"To be precise, it's the first layer of the Celestial Human Realm, the peak of the Condensing Truth Realm Late Stage! If I'm not mistaken, with his talent, he might even have already broken through to the second layer of the Celestial Human Realm, Transforming Sea."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a large bomb had been dropped into everyone's minds, shocking them to the extreme.

The Celestial Human Realm was an existence they could only dream of reaching in their lifetime. To put it bluntly, if they could break through to the Bone Forging Realm in this life, it would be like smoke rising from their ancestral graves. If they were lucky enough to break through to Source Opening, their entire family would be transformed from then on.

But Lu Wangchuan had broken through to the Celestial Human Realm before the age of twenty, and now he might even have reached the second layer of the Celestial Human Realm, Transforming Sea!

For them, this was simply unbelievable, like a dream.

"Compared to Zhao Yanlong, the Divine Water Sect's top-ranked genius, who is stronger?"

"That, I don't know."

"Zhao Yanlong is the Sect Leader's son, so Zhao Yanlong must be stronger."

"But Zhao Yanlong only broke through to the first layer of the Celestial Human Realm at the age of twenty, while Lu Wangchuan was already at the peak of the first layer of the Celestial Human Realm before the age of twenty."

Outside, everyone was chattering non-stop. Lu Wangchuan's arrival was no different from throwing a large stone into calm water, causing ripples that wouldn't subside for a long time.

Inside the martial arts hall, the several stewards stationed in Chen Zhou City were also cautious, wondering why this genius who had dominated the sect's affairs had suddenly come here.

The Condensing Truth Realm expert personally brought a cup of tea forward and asked with a smiling face:

"Peak Lord Lu, may I ask why you have suddenly graced Chen Zhou City with your presence?"

Lu Wangchuan took the tea and spoke calmly.

"Chen Haoming is my brother-in-law."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was instantly startled, and at the same time, they understood.

No wonder this guy suddenly came over. It turned out he was here to stand up for his brother-in-law.

"So Chen Haoming is Peak Lord Lu's brother-in-law. This is truly a case of 'the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple,' where family members don't recognize each other."

Lu Wangchuan's expression remained unchanged.

"I heard that my brother-in-law sent you gifts, but you didn't accept them? And you allowed the other families to suppress the Chen Family? I need an explanation."

Sweat beaded on their foreheads.

"This... it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? I don't think so. The Chen Family is the richest family in Chen Zhou City. Taking over the Chen Family would yield more benefits than taking over the other families.

The sect has a clear rule that families who have submitted to the sect are not to be persecuted. Reasonable fees are to be collected to ensure the stability of the secular world.

You few couldn't directly attack the Chen Family, so you secretly supported several forces to suppress the Chen Family, trying to swallow the Chen Family in another way. You're really playing a clever game."

The few of them were sweating profusely from what Lu Wangchuan said, and their bodies began to tremble.

This matter could be big or small. To put it in a big way, it violated the sect's rules and tarnished the sect's reputation, damaging the Divine Water Sect's popularity in Chu Zhou. They would be severely punished by the sect!

To put it in a small way, as long as they weren't discovered, nothing would happen.

But it just so happened that they were discovered, and the Chen Family had Lu Wangchuan, the rising star of the Divine Water Sect, backing them. That was a huge problem!

With a thud, the Condensing Truth Realm elder was the first to kneel. Seeing this, the other four Dantian Realm cultivators didn't say a word and quickly followed suit.

The few of them knelt trembling before Lu Wangchuan.

"Peak Lord Lu, we were wrong. Please be magnanimous and spare our lives."

Lu Wangchuan took a sip of tea, a hint of killing intent flickering in his eyes.

"Originally, with my temperament, your five heads would have been taken off by now. Considering you haven't caused irreversible damage to the Chen Family, I will temporarily spare your dog lives."

It was enough to make his point. Even if he killed these few people, the next wave might still trouble his sister's family. Teaching them a lesson and leaving this group alive was more useful.

Indeed, the few immediately kowtowed in thanks.

"Thank you, Peak Lord Lu, thank you, Peak Lord Lu. We will definitely protect the Chen Family well in the future and absolutely will not allow anyone to bully the Chen Family again."

Lu Wangchuan nodded and put down his teacup.

"That would be best. If you violate this, don't blame me for being merciless. I killed Yun Mengyao, I crippled Li Tianxiang. How do your lives compare to the two of them?"

A chill ran through their hearts, and they were so scared they almost wet their pants.

"Yes, yes, yes, we understand."

"Alright, get up."

The few of them were relieved and immediately stood up. The Condensing Truth Realm one, being astute, offered a storage bag.

"Peak Lord Lu has had a tiring journey. This is a small token of our regard."

Lu Wangchuan didn't stand on ceremony and directly put it into his embrace.

"By the way, Peak Lord Lu, Li Zhou City, two hundred miles away, has been occupied by disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sect in the past few days. They have killed many of our Divine Water Sect disciples and have frequently encroached upon our Chen Zhou City.

The sect is currently short on manpower and it's difficult to dispatch people to deal with them for a while. I'm afraid it won't be long before Chen Zhou City is in danger. I wonder if Peak Lord Lu could eliminate this threat for us?"

"Since that's the case, I'll make time to go to Li Zhou City."

Giving a slap and then a sweet date, this method has been effective since ancient times.

In the martial world, it's all about human relationships. If he only relied on strength to suppress them, they wouldn't sincerely help him look after the Chen Family.

Furthermore, resolving the Heavenly Martial Sect disciples in Li Zhou City could also prevent Chen Zhou City from being threatened, which would be beneficial to the stability of his sister's family.

Most importantly, he could take the opportunity to reap a harvest.

"Thank you, Peak Lord Lu. Peak Lord Lu, we have prepared a banquet to welcome you. Please grace us with your presence."

"That won't be necessary. I won't be staying in Chen Zhou City for long. I just want to have a good reunion with my family. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important."

"Yes."

With that, Lu Wangchuan stood up and left directly. The few of them chased after him and watched the carriage leave until it was far away and disappeared around the corner before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

One of the Dantian Realm cultivators couldn't help but say enviously:

"I heard he's only twenty years old this year. We old men are all over fifty, having cultivated for decades, yet we still have to bow down to him."

"Someone like him is a favored son of heaven. How many such people can appear in an era?"

"It's a good thing he didn't hold our actions against the Chen Family against us. Otherwise, our old lives would have ended here today."

As soon as these words were spoken, another person's face suddenly changed drastically.

"This is bad. Today, the Liu and Qin families deliberately held back the Chen Family's grain ships and were preparing to cause trouble."

"Quickly go and stop them. We absolutely must not provoke this malevolent god."
