Chapter 218
Senior brother?

Chen Lang was slightly stunned. Was it the senior brother whom he had never met before?

"I knew it. Then you should join me in clearing out the Lu family. When you meet Senior Brother, I will ask him to help you more." Chen Lang said.

Did he know? Both the male and female cultivators were stunned, but when arranging the task, didn’t that person reveal that he didn’t know him?

"You're really good at fooling people."

The female cultivator thought for a moment and said with a malicious smile, "The Great Dung Immortal lives up to his reputation. He wants to trick us into contributing with just a few words."

Chen Lang shook his head and said:
"Zhong Haoran is my master, the Queen Mother of Pingtian Sect is my righteous teacher, and the eldest brother is your boss. You are not ordinary people, you should be able to see that I am different.

I am destined to be a famous person in the world in the future. Now I have a few small requests. You will not refuse such a good opportunity to get to know me, right?"

The male cultivator was slightly stunned and somewhat persuaded. Although the intention of asking them to do hard labor was obvious, every word was true.

"Let's go, let's go quickly." The female cultivator summoned a flying boat and pushed him on it, so as to avoid being bewitched by this boy.

Finally, she went up, turned around and said with a smile:

"Since you think so highly of yourself, why are you still staying in the Heavenly Sword Sect? The various families there occupy the mountains and enclose the land for their own business. This is not a place for grassroots cultivators like you and me to discuss scriptures and doctrines."

"rational."

Chen Lang could only express regret for not being able to convince them.

Then, he set out on the journey to the Lu family alone.

……

The remaining immortals from foreign lands are still being refined.

He was in a giant cauldron with a sheep's head, and his screams gradually became weaker, but it attracted more and more attention from the surrounding area.

The man from Wuzhongmen was driving the golden ancient chariot and was very close, and the old man riding the green ox was not far away, but neither of them took action. The Lord of Ten Thousand Souls was busy dealing with the Remnant Immortal, and this seemed to be a good opportunity to attack, but it was not.

If you attack a dying person, one punch may be enough; but if you attack a person bitten by a mosquito, you may be chased and beaten up.

They felt it was the latter.

Moreover, the goal of the alliance of sects is not as simple as killing the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls. What is more important is to eliminate the huge and complex forces behind him and take back the territory they deserve.

If they advance step by step carefully, they will be able to eradicate the Pingtian Sect completely, instead of panicking now when they see a vague opportunity.

At this time, Zhong Haoran suddenly received information.

It was sent from the Zhong family in North City.

Hearing the voice transmission, Zhong Haoran's face changed slightly, and the Tianjian Sect Master glanced at him, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Zhong Haoran was silent for a moment, then said, "The Lu family is gone."

"what?"

The clan leader was slightly surprised. He really didn't know this. "Did a foreigner do this?"

"Chen Lang did it."

This made the sect leader not know what to say.

"What's the situation now?" asked the clan leader.

"I don't know. The informant said it was a mess. He only saw Chen Lang's Ten Thousand Souls Banner and the Lu family's Hidden Dragon Formation activated. It was later destroyed. The family was littered with corpses. The rest of the situation is still under observation."

The leader of Tianjian Sect was silent for a long time. This was really a headache.

"Well, your disciple is very spirited and courageous." He paused for a moment, "Then why did he want to exterminate the Lu family?"

Damn it, is this human nature? How can I manage this?
Zhong Haoran probably knew what Chen Lang was thinking, and said, "Lu Ming arranged for foreign cultivators to kill him."

He briefly recounted what happened that day. Zhou Tianzheng had already submitted the case to the Law Courts, and the evidence was solid.

This made Zhong Haoran feel complicated. In his plan, he was ready to follow the steps, collect evidence and bring down the Lu family. However, Chen Lang took the lead and went straight to the massacre.

Is this how young people do things these days?

He felt that he was probably getting old.

"That's right." The Tianjian Sect Master breathed a sigh of relief and said thoughtfully, "The Lu family colluded with foreigners and intended to infiltrate the sect. This crime is unforgivable, but Chen Lang's actions were too radical and inappropriate."

He glanced at Zhong Haoran and said, "I'll discipline him later."...

Elder Shi was also deeply moved as he watched the noise in the sheep-head cauldron gradually disappear.

This immortal from a foreign land was presumably at the Nascent Soul stage. Even though he was old and decayed and destined to die, it was still unbelievable that he was killed so forcefully and even refined away.

Is this a show of force to the many sects?
He was not sure, but the outcome was certain. The remnant immortal would perish, and other sects would probably not take action. He could not watch any longer as there were more important things to do.

"Go to the Lu family." said Elder Shi.

Elder Qingguan still stared at the huge tripod with eager eyes, "What are you going to do now? It's too late."

"What do you mean late? Did anyone know about the Lu family's troubles earlier than us?" Elder Shi sneered, "As soon as they find out, they will definitely go to divide the inheritance. Do you want to go then?"

Elder Qingguan thought so too, but he had other things on his mind. He looked around, but couldn't see the figure.

"Who are you looking for? That kid Chen Lang?" Elder Shi said, "This kid is quite tough."

What a pity, even Canxian came and couldn’t kill him.

Elder Qingguan pondered for a moment, "Do you think he is just stubborn?"

He was thinking, he had heard earlier that the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls had extended an olive branch to Chen Lang, and there might be a reason why the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls took action today.

This made him reflect that perhaps putting Chen Lang to death was a mistake, especially the fact that Chen Lang massacred the Lu family, which forced him to rethink whether his family could withstand it.

This person is becoming more and more troublesome.

"Why, do you want to win him over?" Elder Shi said with a cold expression.

"No, I just feel that the cost outweighs the gain. There is no benefit in dealing with him." said Elder Qingguan.

"You can't guess the purpose of Zhong Haoran accepting this disciple, right?"

Elder Shi said: "He was simply forced into a corner. His family behind him disowned him, and he had an heir. He had a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He could only hope to find a pawn to stir up the situation.

I can only give one evaluation of Zhong Haoran: he is indecisive. This guy is used to fight against us.

Moreover, he himself cannot control this chess piece. If he could win me over, he would have done so long ago."

"That's true. You see things very clearly." Elder Qingguan felt very ashamed. As an elder, he had seen many people and he knew at a glance that this kind of person could not be used by him.

"But you don't have to worry. People are not either friends or enemies."

Elder Shi added: "This disciple of his is still in the process of building his foundation. When he becomes an elder, he will naturally get in the way of others. We don't need to do anything. Someone will stop him."

Elder Qingguan thought of something and chuckled, "That's true."

The two flew towards the Lu family.

At this time, Lu Ming had already arrived at the Lu family.

The air was filled with smoke and the family was dead silent. Perhaps because his senses had become dull, Lu Ming could not feel the slightest bit of sadness. He walked numbly to the ancient pagoda. Fortunately, his father was still alive, and looked like he was dying, but he was still sitting there, waiting for him to come back.

"I couldn't kill him." Lu Ming said.

The white-haired old man showed no joy or sadness. He clapped his hands on the stone platform beside him, and the Qianlong Formation was activated, mobilizing the last of its strength to cast beams of light onto the ground.

There were many magical instruments, alchemy tools, and sealed boxes, all of which were the family's most precious possessions.

Lu Ming looked at all this and remained silent.

"Let's go." The white-haired old man said, "The change of dynasties and the rise and fall of clans are all the laws of the world. Even the laws of nature will eventually come to an end. You don't need to blame yourself. You are the only one left in my Lu family.

Our existence has no meaning to the Tianjian Sect anymore. They will take the opportunity to settle accounts with us. Before they come, take these things and leave. Live well."

However, Lu Ming didn't want this to happen. Chen Lang had wiped out his entire family. If he let him live freely, what would be the point of his own survival?

Suddenly, there was a wave coming from behind, and footsteps stepped on the rubble, making a creaking sound.

"The reckoning has come." The white-haired old man sighed helplessly.

Lu Ming turned his head and saw that it was a young man with flames bouncing between his hands and a dark white light surging in his eyes.
