C360 Lu Manor
C360 Lu Manor
Ling Xiao had thought that the Lu Family was heavily guarded, as there were as many experts as clouds in the sky.
However, when he stepped into the mansion, he didn't feel much pressure. The guards he saw were only at the Profound realm and the Spirit realm.
However, when he came to Myriad Beast City, Xiao Songlin repeatedly told him not to cause trouble in the city. Otherwise, he would be punished by the three major powers, and even the Purple Sky Sect wouldn't be able to protect him.
It was said that a King Rank elder of the River Nether Sect had challenged the rules of the Myriad Beast City. In the end, he was beheaded and hung outside the city to serve as an example.
However, at this moment, Ling Xiao couldn't help but wonder if these three major powers were really that powerful. Or perhaps they were just boasting?
"Forget it. This has nothing to do with me. Currently, Myriad Beast City is considered a prosperous city. It's a good thing that there aren't many conflicts." Ling Xiao sighed in his heart.
Ling Xiao followed the two girls all the way to the main hall.
A middle-aged man came out to welcome them. His tiger eyes shone with a fierce light as he said, "You are Ling Xiao?
This middle-aged man was in his early forties. He had an extremely upright appearance. He wore a blue robe that complemented his body, giving him a scholarly aura. However, his eagle-like eyes gave off an incomparably fierce aura.
"Finally, I saw a King Rank warrior!" Ling Xiao sighed in his heart as he met the middle-aged man's gaze.
"It's Ling Xiao!" Ling Xiao cupped his hands and replied.
Before coming to the Lu Residence, a servant had already reported Ling Xiao's arrival to the Lu Residence.
This man was none other than Lu Fang and Lyu Jing's father, Lyu Zheng.
"Father, what are you doing? Benefactor has done us a favor. How can you be so rude?" Lyu Jing said with a frown.
Lyu Zheng's expression stiffened. He immediately smiled and said, "It is true that heroes come from young men. Come, come, come. Young Hero Ling has saved my two daughters. This Lu is truly grateful. Please forgive me for offending you just now.
Lyu Zheng's attitude changed very quickly. Ling Xiao was not used to it at the moment. He muttered in his heart, "It would be strange if you don't blame me.
Ling Xiao and Lyu Zheng exchanged some pleasantries and sat down.
That night, the Lu family held a banquet to invite Ling Xiao.
Many direct family members of the Lu family were present. Ling Xiao took a closer look. There were seven or eight King Rank warriors in total.
At this moment, Ling Xiao felt that the Lu Family really had the demeanor of a major power.
However, it was impossible for a mere King Rank warrior to make the mercenaries and rogue cultivators of Myriad Beast City obey the rules.
"Maybe there are some old undyings here," Ling Xiao thought.
Ling Xiao did not want to investigate the background of the three major powers. He was just a little curious.
After thirty years of drinking, Lyu Zheng, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Young Hero Ling, what kind of repayment do you want for saving my daughter? Just say it. As long as my Lu Family can provide it, I will definitely give it to you.
Lu was the current head of the Lu family. There were only two girls under his knees, and Gu especially loved the two girls.
Ling Xiao returned the greeting, "Patriarch Lu is in serious condition. I was only at the right time. If it is convenient for Patriarch Lu, Ling Xiao would like to borrow the transmission array in the city.
Lyu Zheng revealed a slightly troubled look and said, "If this matter was two years ago, it would not have been a big deal for our family, but...
At this time, the other members of the Lu Family also revealed an angry expression. It seemed like there was some hidden reason behind it.
"Patriarch Lu, if you have any difficulties, just say it." Ling Xiao said.
"It's fine if you don't tell us. When will Young Hero Ling need to use the transmission array?" Lyu Zheng avoided the question and asked.
Ling Xiao did not continue to pester him. He directly replied, "The faster the better.
Lyu Zheng did not say anything, but Lyu Jing said nervously, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stay for a few more days so that we can properly entertain benefactor!
Beside her, Lu Fang's beautiful eyes were fixed on Ling Xiao's face. Her face was slightly red.
Ling Xiao acted as if he did not see her and said with a smile, "I am just passing by this place. I have something important to do, so it is not convenient for me to stay for long.
When the two girls heard these words, they felt sad.
Lyu Zheng was very experienced, so how could he not know what the two girls were thinking? However, he could also tell that Ling Xiao had an extraordinary background. Such a young King Rank was a rare existence in the northwest.
If it was the Lu family in the past, they might have tried everything to get Ling Xiao to stay, but the current Lu family didn't have the capital to do so.
"Since Young Hero Ling has some important matters to attend to, I won't force you. Tomorrow, I will settle the matter of the transmission array for you," Lyu Zheng said.
One day, Ling Xiao woke up early.
His heart was tied to the journey to the Southern Wasteland. Naturally, he wanted to arrive at the Ancestral Land that the high priest had mentioned as soon as possible.
He had already taken almost half a year's time, and there wasn't much time left for him.
After Ling Xiao ate the breakfast sent by the servants, he wanted to ask Lyu Zheng about the transmission array.
However, just as he walked into the hall, he heard the sobbing sounds of Lu Fang and Lyu Jing.
"Father, Huang family and Zhao family have gone too far. If grandfather was still alive, how would they dare to target us?
"Father, at most, we will leave the Myriad Beast City. With our family's strength, we can dominate a region no matter where we go.
"This matter isn't as simple as you think. However, if they dare to force you, I won't let them succeed even if I have to risk my life.
"Father...
Ling Xiao was surprised by the conversation between the three father and daughter outside the hall. He hesitated for a moment and was about to turn around and leave when he heard Lyu Zheng's voice calling out, "Young Hero Ling, come in.
Ling Xiao could only force himself to walk into the hall. "I just want to come and ask about the matter of Lu Family's Patriarch's transmission array. If it's too troublesome, I think I can solve it myself.
The two girls put away their tears and turned away, not daring to greet Ling Xiao. It seemed like they didn't want Ling Xiao to see them crying.
Lyu Zheng sighed and said, "It's all because of my incompetence. I've really let Young Hero Ling down.
"Patriarch Lu is serious. Then I will bid you farewell. Take care of yourselves, young ladies." Ling Xiao bowed slightly and was about to leave the hall.
The two ladies seemed to have a heavy heart and did not send Ling Xiao out.
Ling Xiao had just stepped out of the Lu Residence when he saw two groups of people walking towards the Lu Residence with gifts. It seemed like they were doing something festive.
There were approximately fifteen people in each group. The weakest was a Profound Master of High Rank, while the strongest was a King Rank.
Among the two groups, there was a young man who attracted the attention of many.
One of them was wearing a white robe. His clothes were embroidered, and his bearing was extraordinary. His cultivation had already reached the Spirit Master of Middle Rank Realm, and he rode the Third Middle Rank Brown Striped Lion, causing him to seem mighty and extraordinary.
The other person wore a golden robe, a bundle of feathers on his head, and a long spear on his back. His cultivation was similarly at the Spirit Master of Middle Rank Realm, and the Third Middle Rank Golden Scarlet Tiger he rode was similarly extremely expensive.
When the two groups of people arrived in front of the Lu Manor, Ling Xiao was still in a daze.
Immediately, a servant walked out of the group and pointed at Ling Xiao with extreme arrogance and shouted, "Lackey dog, quickly get out of the way, don't block my young master's path.
Another group of people also walked out. A servant put his hands on his waist and said, "Get out of here. How dare you block your future son-in-law's path? You really don't know what's good for you.
"My family's son-in-law?" Ling Xiao was stunned. Then he said, "When did my family have another son-in-law? How come I don't know?
"Humph, cut the crap. Today, my family's young master is here to offer a betrothal gift. In a few days, he will become your family's son-in-law!" That servant said with a high and clear voice.
Ling Xiao was about to say something when a young man riding a brown striped lion behind him shouted, "Aasan, why are you talking so much nonsense? Don't miss my time.
"It's young master." The servant responded a few times and pushed Ling Xiao away. "Go away quickly. Don't block my young master's path. Otherwise, you will suffer.
Who was Ling Xiao?
How could a mere Profound Master Rank servant push him away?
On the contrary, a strong counterforce sent the servant flying.
Everyone was stunned. They never thought that this young man in front of them would be so tough.
The young man riding the brown striped lion wiped a trace of light and asked faintly, "Who are you? Don't you know that violence is not allowed in the city?
Ling Xiao spread his hands and said. It was your stupid dog who did it. When did you see me do it?
"Humph, I am happy today. I will let you live for the time being. Get out of my way. Don't miss my time. If not... humph, humph," the young man said arrogantly.
At this time, another young man riding on the Golden Scarlet Tiger also said, "Brother Zhao, why are you so angry over this little servant?" Then he looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Hurry up and report to your family head. Tell them that our Huang and Zhao families have come to propose marriage.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao finally knew who these two groups of people belonged to. At the same time, he also understood why the Lu sisters were crying in the hall. It seemed like this was the source.
Ling Xiao did not want to get involved in the matters of the three families, so he immediately walked away.
The three families were all extraordinary, and they ruled the Myriad Beast City. If he could not offend them, then so be it. In any case, he didn't have a deep relationship with the Lu Family, so he could only be considered as having just met them. Moreover, he had to rely on the transmission array controlled by the three families to leave.
However, even though he didn't provoke others, they didn't want to let him off just like that.
When the young man riding the brown striped lion saw Ling Xiao being so rude, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Take down this arrogant brat.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two Spirit Masters beside him sped towards Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao frowned and raised his hand. An invisible spirit energy rolled up a spirit wall and the two Spirit Masters collided with the spirit wall.
Ahhh!
The two Spirit Masters were sent flying far away just like the servant from before.
Ling Xiao said faintly, "Don't ask for trouble!
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward.
The young man riding the brown striped lion's face turned gloomy.
Another young man riding the Golden Scarlet Tiger said, "This kid is a bit strange. Could it be that the Lu Family has hired a helper?
"Impossible!" The young man riding the Brown Striped Lion said through gritted teeth. Then, he calmed himself down and said to a middle-aged man beside him, "Go and follow him. Don't let him escape!
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and chased after Ling Xiao in a flash.
"That doesn't seem right. He is very tough. Brother Zhao will lose his men for nothing," the young man on the Golden Scarlet Tiger said.
"If he dares to attack again, he will definitely not be able to leave the Myriad Beast City!" The young man riding the Brown Striped Lion replied with a stern look.
"Let's go. It's time to turn the three families into two.
