Strong Enemy Attacks, Lu Changsheng!

Chapter 20: Strong Enemy Attacks, Lu Changsheng!

At the banquet, Lu Xuan had specifically arranged a table for Li Qingping and Lu Jiuyuan. No one dared to disturb them. One was the grandson of a Nascent Soul great power, and the other was King Li's most beloved youngest daughter. They couldn't afford to offend either of them.

"Speaking of which, I'm very curious, why did the Chen Family attack your Lu Family that day?"

While eating, Li Qingping asked curiously. It wasn't a strange question, so Lu Jiuyuan didn't hide anything and said with some sadness.

"In the end, it was all because of me. My talent at the time made the Chen Family wary, and the Chen Family already had a grievance with my Lu Family, so they chose to strike first. Coupled with the fact that my Lu Family was not prepared at the time, the Chen Family succeeded."

Back then, Lu Jiuyuan had broken through to the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage at just twenty years old. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have reached the Golden Core Stage before sixty. At that point, the Lu Family would have had two Golden Core cultivators.

The Chen Family also had a grievance with the Lu Family, which was why they chose to act. However, before striking, the Chen Family had tried to recruit other families, but they were all refused.

Since they had no grievances with the Lu Family, there was naturally no need to take such a risk. If even one person from the Lu Family escaped, it would be a case of "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" for them later.

Helpless, the Chen Family had to act alone. But they didn't expect Lu Jiuyuan, this cheat, to appear. Otherwise, the Lu Family's revenge would truly have been hopeless.

"Although it's a pity, it has already happened. I hope you can move past this soon."

Li Qingping comforted him. Lu Jiuyuan gave a wry smile and said.

"I've already let it go. Besides, this is just a temporary separation. When I eventually break through to the realm where I can control time, perhaps I can even revive them."

Just as Li Qingping was about to say something upon hearing this, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon the Lu Family.

"What! A strong enemy has arrived!"

Lu Xuan opened his eyes and said in disbelief. At that moment, a figure appeared beside Li Qingping.

"Uncle Chen, why are you here?"

Seeing his figure, Li Qingping said in surprise. Uncle Chen was the guest elder arranged by Li Xuanran to protect Li Qingping.

"Sixth Young Master, there's no time to explain, hurry and leave with me!"

Uncle Chen said with a grave expression. But before Li Qingping could even react, a terrifying figure appeared in the sky above the Lu Family.

"I'm sorry, no one is leaving today!"

The arrival was the Grand Elder of the Youmo Sect, known in the martial world as the Thousand Ghost King.

Sensing the immense demonic aura emanating from the Thousand Ghost King, Uncle Chen's expression turned grim. Clearly, he hadn't expected King Youmo to send such a powerful weapon of the Tribulation Crossing Stage. He himself was only at the peak of Body Integration.

"Thousand Ghost King, I didn't expect the Youmo Sect to send you. Aren't you afraid that your actions will lead to a full-blown war between the Yuanwu Kingdom and the Youmo Sect?"

Uncle Chen said with a grim expression, secretly sending a message to King Li. Such minor actions naturally couldn't escape the Thousand Ghost King's notice. The Thousand Ghost King let out a cold snort and directly swung his palm, sending a palm strike towards Uncle Chen.

Seeing this, Uncle Chen didn't dare to be negligent and quickly used all his skills to block the palm strike. However, he was still sent flying directly, almost dying on the spot.

"Uncle Chen!"

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Li Qingping rushed to Uncle Chen's side with a look of anxiety, helping him up. Uncle Chen said with a resolute expression.

"Sixth Young Master, I will use all my strength to hold back the Thousand Ghost King. You escape quickly."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingping's face also turned bitter.

"Uncle Chen, the Thousand Ghost King is a great power of the Tribulation Crossing Stage. How could I, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, escape from his grasp?"

At the same time, in the Yuanwu Kingdom, Li Xuanran received Uncle Chen's message and was instantly consumed by a furious rage.

"King Youmo, if anything happens to my daughter, I will make your entire Youmo Sect pay with their lives for my daughter."

The entire kingdom felt Li Xuanran's anger and trembled in fear. Without hesitation, Li Xuanran unleashed his fastest speed and rushed towards Qingfeng Town, hoping he could arrive a little sooner, perhaps there would still be a chance.

On the other side, the Thousand Ghost King saw this and wasn't in a hurry at all. After all, he had investigated clearly that Li Xuanran was currently in seclusion. Even if he came out now, it would take half an hour for Li Xuanran to reach here at his speed. That was enough time for him to kill everyone here and leave.

"Kid, it's you, isn't it? You actually dared to refuse our Sect Master's invitation. Don't you know how powerful our Youmo Sect is?"

Facing the Thousand Ghost King's provocation, Lu Jiuyuan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was panicking. Where was his backing? Why hadn't he arrived yet? If he didn't come soon, he would really die.

To maintain the dignity of the Lu Family's young master, Lu Jiuyuan showed no fear and sneered, "So what if I refused your Youmo Sect? All cultivators in the world know that your Youmo Sect engages in arson, murder, and plunder, and everyone has the right to eliminate you. Sooner or later, your Youmo Sect will be destroyed."

Upon hearing Lu Jiuyuan's words, a hint of surprise appeared on the Thousand Ghost King's face. Did this kid not know the terror of a great power at the Tribulation Crossing Stage?

The Qi Refining cultivators present, after hearing Lu Jiuyuan's words, were stirred. They also knew that given the Youmo Sect's methods, they would most likely perish today.

Qingfeng Town would also clearly be directly destroyed by the Thousand Ghost King. It was better to curse the Thousand Ghost King before they died.

With this thought, the Qi Refining cultivators present, despite the Thousand Ghost King's terrifying pressure, began to curse him.

"Hmph, what kind of hero are you, Thousand Ghost King? If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one at the same level. See if I won't beat the shit out of you."

"What, Thousand Ghost King, why are you wearing such a terrifying mask? Is it because the face beneath the mask is even uglier?"

"It doesn't matter if you kill us, Thousand Ghost King. Even if you kill us, there are thousands upon thousands of us."

Facing the provocation of a group of ants, the Thousand Ghost King was clearly enraged. He had never been insulted by ants of this level before. Were there any cultivators who saw him who weren't trembling in fear?

Moreover, his mask was his sore spot. When he was still a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was injured by a great power of the Void Refining Stage. After breaking through to the Body Integration Stage, the Thousand Ghost King chose to torture that person to death and then burn them.

This scar was left by the Thousand Ghost King as a reminder to himself not to be bullied by others again. Now that it was brought up again, he was naturally furious.

From afar, Uncle Chen's expression also turned grim. They were stalling for time, why did they have to provoke the Thousand Ghost King? Seeing that the Thousand Ghost King was about to make a move, Uncle Chen knew that they were in trouble.

The Thousand Ghost King conjured a giant palm print, its power filling the cultivators present with despair. Although Lu Jiuyuan was somewhat fearful, his expression remained calm.

And at this critical moment of life and death, a pressure even more terrifying than the Thousand Ghost King's was applied to him, followed by a faint voice.

"Who is bullying my Lu Changsheng's descendant?"
