A visit

Several figures sat in the main hall of the Luo residence, but no one spoke; the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

The elder in blue robes, with a stern expression, surveyed the crowd and said, "Speak up, everyone. What should we do with this Space Wormhole? Don't forget, nearly 70% of the Luo Family's profits came from this Space Wormhole created by our ancestor. If this Space Wormhole truly cannot be reconnected, not only will our Luo Family be unable to bear it, but everyone else in the Northwest Continent will be unable to bear it!"

Below, an elderly man in a gray robe frowned and said, "Ancestor, you know perfectly well that this Space Wormhole is no longer something our Luo Family can handle. The spatial node is damaged. We either need to ask other Dou Zun expert to repair it, or we need to ask Peak Dou Zun expert to open another Space Wormhole. But neither of these options comes at a price our Luo Family can afford!"

"Yes, Ancestor, the destruction of the Space Wormhole is now a catastrophe for our Luo Family. There are no more Dou Zun expert in the Northwest Continent. Even if there are, they have probably gone to the Central Plains. Why would they come back? I think our Luo Family can only give up on the Space Wormhole and find another way!" Another white-robed elder sighed.

Now that the Luo Family can no longer repair the Space Wormhole, it means that the Luo Family must have other industries to support its development; otherwise, the Luo Family will inevitably disappear into the annals of history.

The Luo Family patriarch sighed deeply, "I never imagined that my Luo Family would suffer such a calamity. If my ancestors knew this in the afterlife, they would surely be furious. I have failed them!"

Everyone fell silent after hearing this. After all, this Space Wormhole was created by the Luo Family's ancestor, and now no one in the Luo Family could break through to the Dou Zun Realm. Wasn't this a tragedy?

Just then, footsteps approached, and a guard from the Luo Family came forward to report, "Ancestor, elders, two young men have arrived outside, saying they've Luo Family to discuss repairing the Space Wormhole!"

Luo Cheng, the patriarch of the Luo Family, frowned slightly and said, "Young man? Here to repair the Space Wormhole?"

The elders exchanged glances, and among them was Luo Fen. A thought flashed through his mind as he recalled the group of people he had brought into the city yesterday. The leader of them was a young man whose cultivation level seemed unfathomable to him!

Luo Fen then stepped forward and said, "Ancestor, yesterday I encountered a group of people at the city gate. These people were very young, but their cultivation was unfathomable. So why don't we go and meet them? For people of this age to have such cultivation, they must have extremely powerful families behind them. So why don't we try our luck!"

The elder beside him said with some disdain, "How strong can it be?"

Luo Cheng's expression shifted slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate people. After all, the Northwest Continent is vast, and even the Black Corner Region, thousands of miles away, is full of hidden talents. Perhaps these people can really help my Luo Family overcome this difficulty. Come, let's go out and take a look."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and followed Luo Cheng outside.

Outside the mansion Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan were whispering among themselves. Xiao Yan said, "Fourth brother, do you think these Luo Family will be able to come out? If they do, what are we going to say? Yesterday, that Luo Family elder said that this Space Wormhole would require three Dou Zun to repair!"

Xiao Yu smiled calmly and said, "Third Brother, don't worry. I think the three Dou Zun that person mentioned are just low-level Dou Zun. If it were just me, I might be able to repair this Space Wormhole directly. But if it is repaired, my Underworld can also come to Tianya City and take advantage of it!"

Xiao Yu's plan was incredibly shrewd, and just as he was speaking, a commotion came from inside the Luo Family mansion.

"Who are you? What are you doing sneaking around outside the Luo Family's gate?" A spoiled, arrogant voice rang out, causing both Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan to frown, displeased with the source of the voice.

Turning around, a young woman in a red, fitted outfit emerged from the Luo Family mansion, followed by two elderly men who appeared to be guards. One of the guards respectfully greeted her, "Young Miss!"

Xiao Yu frowned immediately. This girl must be Luo Xiaoyao, the spoiled eldest daughter of the Luo Family. She was not only shrewish but also vicious. She would kill or torture anyone who blocked her way. Xiao Yu did not like this kind of woman.

Xiao Yan glanced at Luo Xiaoyao indifferently and said, "What do you mean by sneaking around? We're standing here openly and honestly, aren't we? Besides, we're here at the Luo Family because your Luo Family needs our help, understand?"

"Heh!" Luo Xiaoyao scoffed, "That's the funniest joke I've heard all year. My Luo Family is the number one family in Tianya City, and you actually say that our Luo Family needs your help?"

After speaking, Xiao Yan ignored her and remained silent. A guard beside him whispered, "Young Miss, these two said they've come to repair the Space Wormhole!"

"Oh?" Luo Xiaoyao glanced disdainfully at Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu, then waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Repairing Space Wormhole is something only Dou Zong expert can do. Look at them, they don't have a single trace of the demeanor of a Dou Zong expert. Get them out of here!"

"This,,,"

The guards were in a dilemma, but just as they were about to make their move, a figure in blue robes stepped out from inside the mansion and called out softly, "Wait!"

Luo Xiaoyao paused for a moment, then looked at the old man in blue robes with delight and ran over, saying affectionately, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"

Luo Cheng chuckled and patted Luo Xiaoyao's head, saying, "You little rascal, your temper is getting worse and worse!"

Luo Xiaoyao pouted and said unhappily, "It's all because Grandpa spoils them. By the way, Grandpa, these two people came to the Luo Family to scam people, let's chase them away!"

Luo Cheng nodded and said, "Alright, let Grandpa see who's trying to swindle people from my Luo Family. I'll chase them away!"

After speaking, Luo Cheng's gaze fell upon the composed Xiao Yu and the indifferent Xiao Yan standing to the side. Despite his keen eyesight, he couldn't discern the true strength of these two. He then stepped forward and asked, "Gentlemen, are you referring to the Luo Family's repair of the Space Wormhole?"

Xiao Yu looked at Luo Cheng and said, "Not bad!"

Luo Cheng nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I need to see your strength, or rather, the power behind you. If you only have the strength of Dou Zong, I'm afraid you won't be able to solve the problems of my Luo Family!"

The words directly illustrated the difficulty of repairing this Space Wormhole, and also indicated that even Dou Zong expert would be of no use here.

Xiao Yu smiled faintly, took a step forward, and a violent and powerful aura that rose from the ground suddenly erupted. Everyone around him changed their expressions drastically. They felt as if they were small boats drifting in the ocean, at risk of being swallowed up at any moment.

Luo Xiaoyao, who had been so arrogant, was now deathly pale, her face devoid of any human color.

Standing at the very front, Ancestor Luo Cheng exclaimed in disbelief, "Dou Zun expert?"
