Seeing Hong Zhaoyue appear.
Everyone was amazed.
Who doesn't know that Lu Ming likes Hong Zhaoyue from East City?
Back when Hong Zhaoyue was not sick, he fought to the death with Tai Gang from West City.
Lu Ming was injured in the betrothal through combat, angrier than anyone else.
Seeing Hong Zhaoyue co out, Lu Ming smiled faintly and said, "Zhaoyue, you finally ca out."
Hong Zhaoyue's face was calm as she said, "Lu Ming, don't kill indiscriminately... all this started because of . If you want to kill soone, just kill ... East City has never intentionally opposed your Lu Family. You lost to Mr. Fang in the betrothal through combat, so accept it. Of course, with your higher cultivation, you could ignore reason... therefore, saying more is useless. I only ask you, do not kill anyone!"
Lu Ming chuckled and said:
"Am I that kind of person in your mind? Zhaoyue, you've misunderstood ... haven't you noticed, when you were sick, no one in Wanxian City ca to see you? Honestly, in this Wanxian City, no one loves you more, likes you more than I do. Only I can give you sufficient happiness. That day in the betrothal through combat, if not for sparing lives, do you think that Mr. Fang could have defeated ?"
Of course, this was just an excuse.
Lu Ming wanted to regain his dignity, so he could only say this.
With his cultivation, he could kill everyone present.
However...
The question arises, if you kill everyone, what's the aning of your existence?
To be a lonely and desolate emperor?
Or enjoy wandering alone in this empty world?
Lu Ming is still quite young.
What he needs is recognition.
Others may not matter to him, but Hong Zhaoyue is soone he likes, he values her attitude imnsely.
Hong Zhaoyue's every word and action is enough to sway him.
"Since you don't want to kill anyone... then don't act impulsively. As for finding Mr. Fang... my father said Mr. Fang isn't here. You've fought him, you should know his cultivation isn't sothing ordinary people can trap. Asking my father to hand him over, isn't it like asking for the impossible? You might as well kill us!" Hong Zhaoyue said.
"Fine... I'll personally find that Mr. Fang. Since you're here... co with ." Lu Ming looked at Hong Zhaoyue with a desire in his eyes.
Hong Zhaoyue looked at Lu Ming, puzzled and hesitant, unsure if she should take this step.
She knew that if she didn't leave with Lu Ming today, nobody knew what he might do.
But...
Going with him is jumping into the fire!
Sacrificing herself for the greater good.
Just then—
There was a commotion outside the door.
Everyone looked towards the sound.
The City Lord of West City, Tai Hua, swaggered in.
Bringing along a group of cultivators.
Tai Hua is the father of Tai Gang, full of anger.
As soon as he entered, he said, "Hong He, you bastard, co out! My son died at the hands of your daughter, yet you don't admit it?"
When he saw Lu Ming standing in the middle, he squeezed out a smile and said, "So it's Young Master Lu."
Lu Ming took no notice of Tai Hua.
Tai Hua shalessly said, "I heard Young Master Lu ca to the Hong Family, so I hurried over to lend a hand! That day, my son died tragically at Hong He's hand, we have revenge too. The enemy of my enemy is my friend! Young Master Lu... don't believe that bastard Hong He's words!"
He ca in without knowing what had happened, beginning with nonsense, trying to win Lu Ming's favor.
Upon knowing Lu Ming had reached the Half-step Ancestor Realm, he rushed over.
Tai Gang and Lu Ming once fought to the death; they were basically enemies who never interacted.
If he didn't co to curry favor, no one could guarantee whether Lu Ming would hold grudges and destroy the Tai Family.
Tai Hua continued, "Young Master Lu, please give a chance!"
Only then did Lu Ming turn his cold eyes towards him, saying, "Are you worthy?"
Those three words contained imnse Cold Qi, cold and emotionless.
Hearing the three words, Tai Hua trembled, looking at Lu Ming confusedly.
"Lu, Young Master Lu..."
"Get lost!"
With a wave of his hand.
Tai Hua and his n were hurled away.
With a boom, the wall of the Hong Family courtyard was smashed.
Everyone retreated a few steps in shock.
Upon closer inspection, apart from Tai Hua, the three or four cultivators behind him died miserably on the spot. Tai Hua didn't fare much better, his face pale, covered in blood. This move directly crippled his cultivation, leaving him bedridden for the rest of his life.
Tai Hua's face was extrely grim, showing a regretful expression.
He never thought Lu Ming would be so brutal, acting without hesitation.
He never imagined that despite coming to make peace, he'd fare worse than enemies.
Cough, cough.
He spat a mouthful of blood.
Lying on the ground, motionless.
Lu Ming said, "I'm clear about debts of gratitude and revenge. Those who offended , I'll return tenfold. Those who helped , I will repay tenfold. Tai Gang and I have a feud, and you only rember now?"
Tai Hua was speechless.
Everyone was amazed by Tai Hua's opportunistic skills, but seeing him suffer misfortune now, failing in his attempt, they secretly applauded.
Lu Ming continued:
"Take your people and get out. Within three days, return half of your Tai Family's spirit stones to , additionally disperse all your Tai Family guest elders. Otherwise... I'll kill anyone I see!"
"Yes..."
Tai Hua's face turned livid, agreeing to the threat in humiliation.
This was such a direct threat!
Then.
Lu Ming looked at Hong Zhaoyue, smiling, "Don't worry, Zhaoyue. Although your Hong Family has a feud with my Lu Family... but if you marry , all grievances can be written off."
"Marry you?"
"Of course... you, Hong Zhaoyue, can only be my woman, belonging to for a lifeti... I want not only you but also your heart!" Lu Ming said casually.
"Lu Ming... you... you..."
Hong Zhaoyue didn't know what to say.
She realized that the current Lu Ming has beco mad, almost possessed!
Lu Ming continued to smile, "Let's go..."
He extended his hand, gesturing to Hong Zhaoyue.
Just then—
A languid voice ca from the Hong Family hall:
"As long as I'm here, no one can take anyone from the Hong Family."
The voice was calm.
Without any Primordial Qi fluctuations.
Yet the aura was bone-chilling.
"The ability of Returning to the basics." Soone exclaid.
"So strong! Unfathomable!"
"When did the Hong Family have such an expert? Unbelievable!"
"This... how is it possible?"
Everyone looked towards the hall's entrance.
A woman in a long red cloak walked gracefully out, her figure slender, her face like peach blossoms.
