Let it be said that Wang Xiaoqiang, bringing Lu Gengsheng with him, descended towards the black aura, but before they landed, they were blocked by a group of Mansion Guard Soldiers.
This group consisted of thirteen soldiers, most possessing an Immortal Emperor Level cultivation base. The leader was a cultivator at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Second Liquid Realm, presumably a minor leader. Pointing at Wang Xiaoqiang, the minor leader shouted sternly, "Who's so bold as to dare trespass into the Lul Residence?"
Before Wang Xiaoqiang could respond, Lu Gengsheng angrily shouted at the minor leader, "I am Lu Gengsheng, make way."
The leader didn't pay Lu Gengsheng any mind, instead ordering the dozen soldiers to spread out, blocking the path forward.
"You insolent lot! I am Domain Lord's nephew, Lu Gengsheng! Are you blind? Move aside now!" Lu Gengsheng shouted at the guards, hoping to flaunt a bit in front of Wang Xiaoqiang.
"It doesn't matter who you are; entering the Lul Residence requires going through the main entrance on foot. Any other route is trespassing, and anyone daring to proceed another step will be executed without rcy," said the minor leader. Were it not for Lu Gengsheng being Lul Tianjiao's nephew, the soldiers would have already attacked.
"Damn," Lu Gengsheng cursed in frustration, embarrassed. He then said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Let go, I'll kill this bunch of blind rabble!"
Wang Xiaoqiang realized that although Lu Gengsheng played the fool, he wasn't entirely witless. Letting him go would an all this was for naught, so Wang Xiaoqiang held onto him and, with a thought, the Patterned Beast's body shook wildly, and it roared with a thunderous sound at the soldiers, deploying the Leo Technique.
Roar~~~~~
The roar, though intangible, felt substantial. A powerful soundwave blasted forth, knocking the thirteen soldiers back, with the weaker ones bleeding from their nose and mouth.
Then Wang Xiaoqiang commanded the Patterned Beast to fly swiftly towards the source of the black aura, but before touching down, another squad of Mansion Guard Soldiers surged up to block the way.
This squad also consisted of thirteen, with varying strengths but all within the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, mostly below the Great Luo Golden Immortal Fifth Liquid Realm. Only the leader was at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Fifth Liquid Realm.
"Hmm? This place seems heavily guarded, indicating it's a pivotal area for the Lul Family, and with such eerie black aura, sothing's amiss and must be investigated." Wang Xiaoqiang's thoughts raced. He then directed the Patterned Beast, which roared once more, the soundwave scattering the twelve soldiers. Only the leader, at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Fifth Liquid Realm, managed to withstand it, only retreating a few steps.
Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at the leader, his forehead's Lightning Mark twitched slightly, releasing a burst of Flash Lightning shooting towards him.
That leader was knowledgeable, and upon seeing the lightning from Wang Xiaoqiang's forehead, he paled in fright, dodging swiftly.
Wang Xiaoqiang no longer sparred a glance at the leader, commanding the Patterned Beast to fly straight down. Just as he landed, a figure flashed before him, suddenly appearing.
This person was a hundred years old, with Purple Mansion Immortal Second Ice Realm cultivation, sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a square face, five feet tall, with a dignified yet angry expression.
This was none other than the Domain Lord of Lulchuan Territory, Lul Tianjiao.
"Ah, Uncle, you finally ca..."
Upon seeing Lul Tianjiao, Lu Gengsheng joyfully exclaid, then accused Wang Xiaoqiang, "Uncle, this guy bullied , and he said he would teach a lesson in front of you... Uncle, you must stand up for ."
Lu Gengsheng spoke while crying pitifully.
"Useless." Lul Tianjiao scolded, slapping Lu Gengsheng across the face, showing disdain, screaming, "Brainless fool, staying at ho brings peace, yet you co out looking for trouble."
"Ah, Un-Uncle, w-why did, did you hit ?..." Lu Gengsheng, already a fool, was struck even dumber by his uncle's slap, stumbling over his words.
"Slap... You deserved it, let's see if you dare co out making trouble again!" Lul Tianjiao slapped his nephew twice more. Afterward, he respectfully addressed Wang Xiaoqiang, "King of Windrise, apologies for the trouble caused to you."
Lul Tianjiao's attitude puzzled Wang Xiaoqiang, pondering how strange this behavior was. Most would side with family rather than reason; yet, Lul Tianjiao acted against family instantly, without question, even when Wang Xiaoqiang had killed several guards. It was peculiar!
Lu Gengsheng was even more perplexed. Wasn't his uncle a Domain Lord, above all others? Why was he so courteous to this King of Windrise?
King of Windrise was rely a tribal king, far inferior in position and power compared to a Domain Lord. Yet his uncle, as a Domain Lord, humbled himself before Wang Xiaoqiang. Lu Gengsheng was truly at a loss.
"My nephew is not ntally sound, often doing foolish things. I hope King of Windrise won't hold it against him. I apologize on his behalf," Lul Tianjiao's humility grew as he clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Wang Xiaoqiang, "I hope King of Windrise does not take offense."
Wang Xiaoqiang found it odd. The more humble Lul Tianjiao beca, the more suspicious Wang Xiaoqiang felt. Just how humble could a Domain Lord be, even to a "king"? Surely such reverence was reserved for the Biluo Heavenly Emperor!
His humility embarrassed Wang Xiaoqiang, leaving him no choice but to drop the issue with Lu Gengsheng. Bowing his hands, he replied, "Domain Lord, you're too kind. I had no intention of teaching Lu Gengsheng a lesson; rely hoping for your judgnt, lest others say I bullied him. Since Domain Lord is so fair-minded, I shan't pursue the matter..."
"Ha ha, King of Windrise's generosity and kindness is admirable," Lul Tianjiao spoke with a hint of modesty in his tone, "While King of Windrise visits, normally I'd extend hospitality. Unfortunately, a concubine's sudden passing occurred, just buried a couple of days ago; I fear you may receive bad luck, hence no invitation for drinking at ho at the mont. Another day, surely, I'll send the Phoenix Chariot to invite King of Windrise for a visit..."
Before Lul Tianjiao finished speaking, Lu Gengsheng blurted out, "Ah, Uncle, which of my aunts passed away? Why wasn't my family notified?"
No concubine of Lul Tianjiao had died; it was rely a lie to send Wang Xiaoqiang off. Yet, Lu Gengsheng took the lie as truth, his questioning leaving Lul Tianjiao speechless, nervous, and angry.
If Lu Gengsheng weren't his nephew, Lul Tianjiao would have wanted to slap him to death. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
