Chapter 292 - 245: Have the Wu Family Come to See This Director in the Eastern Region Themselves (Part 2)
Humph!
The ancestor of the Wo Family?
Lu is an ally of our Li Family, if the Wo Family wants to make a move on him, they have to get past our Li Family first.
Back in the Southern Domain Anzhou White Dao Prefecture, the ancestor of the Li Family had already given orders to Li Chengxing.
To use all the power of the Li Family to form an alliance with Lu Xuan.
Even if necessary, Li Chengxing could enter the ancestral shrine forbidden area and personally ask the ancestor of the Li Family to intervene.
Once Li Chengxing made up his mind, he hesitated no longer, and the riotous Primordial Spirit immediately calmed down.
Meanwhile, the terrifying aura around Li Chengxing also dissipated.
Li Chengxing’s eyes glanced at Wo Jiu, his expression stern, and he ordered the Profound Bird Guards beside him.
"You, watch him leave!"
As soon as the words fell, Li Chengxing vanished like a ghost, leaving only his words echoing in the air.
"Wo Jiu, leave here at once for the Director!"
Upon seeing this, Wo Jiu’s old face, which had been livid with anger, slowly pulled out a sinister smile.
His gaze, like a poisonous snake, tightly fixed on the direction Li Chengxing left, as if he wanted to burn a hole in that retreating figure,
Humph!
That brat Lu Xuan, although exceptionally talented in martial arts, in front of the ancestor of the Wo Family, is nothing but an ant easily crushed.
Thinking that he had the backing of the ancestor, Wo Jiu’s sinister smile spread across his wrinkled face, making it appear exceedingly terrifying.
That damned youngster dared to snatch my Moon Chasing Staff!
Wo Jiu took a deep look at the Profound Bird Guards standing vigilantly around him, his gaze filled with resentment and greed.
The damned scoundrels of the Li Family actually gained that one’s favor, having an undeniable status among the Profound Bird Guards.
While his family, after countless efforts, barely secured two Earth-level positions among the Profound Bird Guards and some irrelevant Profound Bird Guard ranks.
These positions cannot compare to Li Chengxing, the high-ranking Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guards.
Promptly, Wo Jiu slowly turned, his back slightly hunched, his steps sluggish, and staggered back along the path he came.
As he walked, Wo Jiu was already certain he would meet Lu Xuan, so he felt no concern.
In his view, no matter how brilliant Lu Xuan was, he couldn’t compete with the deeply entrenched Wo Family.
Wo Jiu firmly believed Lu Xuan was a smart man.
Even if Lu Xuan had exceptional abilities, akin to a dragon reborn,
he would still have to bow down in front of the mighty Wo Family, not daring to act rashly.
After all, in the face of absolute power, any struggle appears futile.
On the other side, after entering the depths of the Profound Bird Guards’ hall, Li Chengxing moved straight to the side, settling into a chair.
Li Chengxing, upon taking a seat, had no intention of pausing even for a moment.
With smooth movements, he reached into his chest, quickly withdrawing the identity token symbolizing the Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guards.
The crimson crystal token sparkled with dazzling red light under the dim hall illumination.
Because, a few hours ago, Lu Xuan had sent him a message, planning to leave Tian Capital for a period.
Therefore, Li Chengxing immediately took out the Spirit Communication Red Crystal Token, using it to transmit a message to Lu Xuan.
High above the border of the Central Domain, the sky vast and unbounded, clouds rolling like waves.
Having left Tian Capital, Lu Xuan stands amid this boundless sea of clouds.
The void beneath Lu Xuan’s feet seemed as solid as earth, allowing him to stride forward, his steps calm.
Every step he took seemed light and natural, yet silently caused ripples of time and space.
In an instant, the scene around Lu Xuan rapidly transformed, the mountains, rivers, and seas beneath the clouds passing like phantom shadows,
"Is it Li?"
Lu Xuan’s heart stirred as if sensing something.
The next moment, a streak of crimson rainbow light shot out from his chest like lightning, moving so swiftly it was almost impossible for the naked eye to catch.
Subsequently, under the control of Lu Xuan’s Primordial Spirit power, the crimson rainbow light began to condense and transform in mid-air.
In the blink of an eye, a vague white shadow appeared out of thin air, reflected within the layers of clouds,
This indistinct human-shaped shadow gradually became clear, the features apparent, revealing the visage of Li Chengxing.
At this moment, Li Chengxing’s shadow floated quietly before Lu Xuan, as if breaking through spatial boundaries, instantly bringing the two closer.
Li Chengxing’s expression was solemn, his brow furrowed, upon seeing Lu Xuan, he intended not to exchange pleasantries, speaking directly, his voice deep and urgent.
"Lu, someone from the Wo Family wants to meet you!"
Li Chengxing’s few words struck this seemingly calm cloud bank like a heavy hammer.
The Wo Family?
Upon hearing this, a fleeting surprise flashed in Lu Xuan’s eyes, his calm gaze momentarily stirred.
Why would the Wo Family seek him out at this time?
The message came unexpectedly, leaving Lu Xuan momentarily caught off guard.
"Lu, did you have any grudges with the Wo Family?"
"If that’s the case, rest assured, Lu, our Li Family will fully support you."
"The Wo Family doesn’t have the privilege to mess with our Li Family’s allies."
Lu Xuan paid no heed to the latter part of Li Chengxing’s words, as his thoughts raced like runaway horses, entirely focused on the arriving Wo Family members.
Lu Xuan rapidly sifted through numerous faces in his mind, finally pausing on an elderly man in purple robes.
"Could it be him?"
So far, Lu Xuan had only encountered three people from the Wo Family.
Two individuals from the Wo Family had been completely turned into ashes by his strike.
Another elder in purple robes seemed to have mysterious regenerative abilities, escaping under his watchful eye.
That elder, Lu Xuan recalled hearing from Prince An’s maid, Chen Luomeng, seemed to be named.
Wo Jiu!
Interesting, could it be that Wo Jiu has the guts to come before him?
He had always intended to refine the bronze staff in his hand into System Points.
Lu Xuan remained expressionless, eyes fixed on the white shadow of Li Chengxing, speaking slowly with a touch of certainty.
"Li, is the member of the Wo Family who wants to meet me named Wo Jiu?"
Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s inquiry, Li Chengxing hesitated not for a second, nor did he delve into how Lu Xuan knew, instantly responding: "Yes!"
This straightforward and decisive answer made the corners of Lu Xuan’s mouth involuntarily curl upward, revealing a meaningful arc.
He murmured softly: "Interesting!"
Lu Xuan pondered for a while, mulling over what the Wo Family might be plotting, sending Wo Jiu to meet him.
After some thought, Lu Xuan decided to meet Wo Jiu, to see what the Wo Family, one of the Eight Great Families, was scheming.
"Let him come to the Eastern Domain Wentai Province, I’ll be waiting for him at the Mingxin Prefecture!"
........
One day later!
Eastern Domain Wentai Province, Mingxin Prefecture city!
Within the prefecture city, there stood a mansion, grand and majestic, exuding luxury and authority from afar.
Deep inside the mansion, a serene courtyard, like a hidden paradise, isolated the clamor outside.
Within the main house of the courtyard, a man appearing around thirty, with a handsome visage.
His demeanor warm and gentle, every movement embodying scholarly elegance, portraying the image of a righteous gentleman.
Yet, the malicious words spilling from his mouth starkly contrasted his gentlemanly facade.
"That damned woman, dead means dead."
"Just a lowly maid, dare defy my will."
"And you, for that maid, attempted to take my life, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
The gaze shifted to the bed before the man, where a faint figure of a woman caught the eye.
The woman donned an incredibly exquisite dress, its material superb, embroidery delicate, gleaming with tender light under the candle.
Yet her breath was weak, her body slightly trembling, resembling a candle in the wind, poised to extinguish at any moment.
