Dark Continent Realm, Earth-Shattering Changes, The Lu Family is Gone?

Infinite scenes of time and space flashed before their eyes, and in the blink of an instant, Lu Yuan and his two companions had already swept past countless worlds.

The Dark Continent was one of the top-tier continents of the Primordial Great Realm, its territory endlessly vast, comprising a full one hundred and thirteen domains—seventy-two lower domains, thirty-six upper domains, and five supreme domains.

The area of a single domain alone was billions of times greater than the entire Tianxiao Continent.

If an Emperor Venerable were to dwell in the Dark Continent, they might not be able to fly out of a single domain in their entire lifetime.

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet everything remained unchanged.

But when they opened their eyes again, the scene before them was no longer the imperial palace of the Central Empire, but a magnificent ancient city radiating an aura of timeless desolation. On the city gate were three bold, vigorous characters.

Tianxiao City!

At the city gate, a constant stream of people flowed in and out. Among them, King Realm and Emperor Venerable experts were as common as dirt, appearing everywhere. If they were in the Tianxiao Continent, every single one of them would be an unrivaled existence controlling the life and death of billions. But here, each of these experts wore expressions of restraint and fear.

Like commoners entering an imperial capital.

The Dark Continent had realms beyond Emperor Venerable: Saint Realm, Earth Saint, Heaven Saint, Great Heavenly Saint (Supreme Heavenly Saint), Heavenly Venerate, Great Heavenly Venerate (Saint Heavenly Venerate), Immortal, Sovereign, and Emperor Venerable.

Among them, the Supreme Heavenly Saint and Saint Heavenly Venerate were two extremely special realms, because only those who comprehended and mastered the laws of supremacy could cultivate to these levels.

These special conditions also gave these two realms a ridiculous combat power beyond ordinary imagination.

At this moment, Lu Yuan and the other two stood outside the city.

Lu Yuan's expression was calm, as still as an ancient well.

Su Qingyao was like a curious child, looking around everywhere, unable to contain her inner excitement.

Jiang Shengyi, on the other hand, dared not look around at all, shrinking fearfully behind Su Qingyao, because anyone here—even a dog—had the strength to easily crush her.

"Hoo~"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said softly, "Let's enter the city. This city is my Lu family's territory. There's a teleportation array inside that can send you directly to your destination."

But just as Lu Yuan's words fell, the Netherworld Elders, who had been silently protecting him all along, spoke in unison: "Young Master, hold on. Something is wrong."

Lu Yuan frowned. "Elder You, Elder Ming, what's wrong?"

Elder You said in a deep voice, "Young Master, just now, I tried to send a message to Tianxiao City's lord, Chen Qianchuan, but I never got a reply. Moreover, the City Guard's uniforms all have a 'Gu' character embroidered on the left chest—this is the exclusive mark of the Immortal Gu Family!"

After hearing Elder You's words, Lu Yuan's eyes darkened.

Tianxiao City was an extremely important city, with a permanent population of over ten billion.

More importantly, the Immortal Gu Family was the Lu family's mortal enemy.

So members of the Gu family absolutely could not appear inside Tianxiao City, let alone serve as the City Guard.

Now that this situation had arisen, it could only mean that Tianxiao City might have changed hands!

"What exactly happened while I was away?"

Lu Yuan had an ominous premonition.

Unless everyone in the Lu family was dead, Tianxiao City could never change hands.

"Let's enter the city first. If it really has changed hands, something this big can't be hidden."

Lu Yuan said, and then entered the city.

Inside Tianxiao City, on a certain street, chaos reigned. Pedestrians scattered in all directions, panic written on their faces, as if afraid of getting caught up in trouble.

"Hahaha, run, keep running, you Lu family remnants. Let's see where you can run to!"

In the middle of the several-hundred-meter-wide street, a young man and woman sat slumped on the ground, their faces pale and desperate, their bodies covered in wounds, blood already soaking through their clothes.

Hovering in the air before them were three men in purple robes.

At this moment, the man in the middle among the three purple-robed men spoke: "Lu Changming, tell me where the remaining Lu family remnants are hiding, and I'll grant you a good death."

Hearing this, the man named Lu Changming spat a mouthful of blood at the air. "Go to hell, you dogs! When my Lu family was still around, you didn't dare fart. Now that my family has fallen, you dogs can't wait to jump out, afraid no one will know you're the Gu family's mutts!"

"Kill me or cut me up, do whatever you want. If I so much as whimper, you're the one my father raised!"

Hearing this, the purple-robed man who had spoken darkened his expression and said coldly, "You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. I was going to grant you a good death, but now it seems unnecessary."

As he spoke, he suddenly grinned maliciously. "That girl next to you is your sister, isn't she? She's not bad-looking. I think my servants would enjoy her quite a bit. If I sold her to the Night Moon Pavilion, she'd fetch a good price. I've decided—I'll have my fill first, then let my servants have their fill, and finally sell her to the Night Moon Pavilion."

"Brother."

Lu Changyue grabbed Lu Changming's arm in fear.

Lu Changming's eyes instantly turned red. He leaped up in fury and roared, "Feng Yi, if you've got guts, come at me! Attacking a woman—what kind of man are you?!"

The young man named Feng Yi didn't get angry at this. He just sneered, "Whether I'm a man or not, your sister will find out soon enough, hahaha. I've never had a woman from the Lu family before."

After saying this, Feng Yi's face turned cold, and he waved his hand. "Move!"

At his command, the two men beside him immediately flew toward Lu Changming and Lu Changyue.

"Ah! Get away!"

Lu Changming roared at the sky, his already depleted body squeezing out a bit more power, sending the two men flying. But it was still useless—nothing more than a deathbed struggle.

Lu Changyue understood this too. Looking at her brother, she smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I'd rather die than fall into their hands."

As she finished speaking, a delicate dagger appeared in Lu Changyue's hand, and without a moment's hesitation, she slashed it toward her own throat.

Lu Changming's eyes nearly split open as he cried out in despair:

"No!"

He reached out to stop her, his heart already plummeting to the depths of hopelessness, but in the next second, he froze in place.

Before his sister Lu Changyue, a white-clad man had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. The man gently pinched the dagger between two pale fingers, stopping it cold in its tracks.

Lu Changyue stared at the man before her, stunned. Then, in the next moment, tears streamed down her face as she threw herself into his arms, sobbing: "Brother Lu Yuan!"

In that instant, all of Lu Changyue's pent-up emotions burst forth, because the man before her brought her a sense of safety unlike anything else in the world.

"Brother... Brother Yuan?"

Lu Changming called out tentatively, disbelief flickering in his eyes.

Lu Yuan turned back, a smile on his face, yet his tone was scolding: "You little brat, is this how you take care of Changyue?"

Realizing it was truly Lu Yuan, Lu Changming stood dumbfounded, overwhelmed by the sheer shock of joy. The next second, he let out a crazed shout, rushed forward, and threw his arms around Lu Yuan, wailing:

"Ah! Brother Yuan, you're finally back! Wuwuwu, you don't know—you don't know what we've been through these past six months! The Lu family... the Lu family..."

Lu Changming choked on his sobs, unable to speak clearly.

Lu Yuan's heart sank deeper and deeper. He wasn't foolish—through the signs before him, even if the truth seemed impossible, it was the only conclusion.

But on his face, Lu Yuan remained calm and composed. He patted them both gently and said softly, "Alright, alright. Let me deal with what's in front of us first, and then you can tell me everything that happened."

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Lu Changming and Lu Changyue obediently let go.

Lu Yuan turned to face the three across from him, his gaze dark and deep, with a murderous intent flickering at its core: "You dare lay a hand on someone from my Lu family? I have to say, your guts are far from ordinary."
