Ze State, Jin City.
Lu Family.
The news of being ranked first on the strength rankings quickly reached Lu Tianxun’s ears.
Enraged, he shattered the table on the spot.
"Iron Fist, was he the Iron Fist King of the Fang Family back then?" Lu Tianyuan’s eyes were red with fury, sothing he totally did not anticipate.
Just one character difference, he should have thought of it!!
Getting kicked off the rankings, he could tolerate.
But killing his son, he could never tolerate!
"I will make you pay with blood for blood!"
However, the updated combat records on the power rankings, showing the killing of many top experts from the Lu Family, filled him with horror.
How strong exactly is this Iron Fist King?
The main culprits who annihilated his family back then were the Jin Family and Zhao Family. He had no reason to be enemies with the Lu Family!
What exactly is going on here?
Lu Tianxun found it increasingly incomprehensible.
At this thought, Lu Tianxun shouted, "Soone co!"
A person walked in from outside the door, bowed and said, "Elder."
"Contact Lu Ziji imdiately, have him co see !"
"Yes!"
Coincidentally, just after the order was given, a Lu Family disciple hurried into the courtyard, his face anxious, and bowed saying, "Elder! Hall Master Lu has been seriously injured and is under treatnt, he said there’s sothing urgent he needs to discuss with you."
Hearing this, Lu Tianxun’s expression changed slightly, "Seriously injured?"
Lu Ziji, being the head of the Law Enforcent Hall, had led more than a dozen Lu Family disciples, how could he be injured?
Lu Tianxun’s expression turned grave, he said, "Take to him."
Shortly after.
Lu Tianxun arrived at the Lu Family’s own dical courtyard.
When he saw Lu Ziji, covered in blood, lying weak on the bed, he was utterly shocked!
Lu Ziji turned his head, and the mont he saw Lu Tianxun, two lines of scalding tears fell—
"El... Elder!"
"Who injured you? Chen Daotian?" Lu Tianxun asked gravely.
"It was Iron Fist, also known as... Jiangzhou Iron Fist King," Lu Ziji said reluctantly, his face full of grievance.
Hearing this, Lu Tianxun was not surprised but asked, "Is this person very strong?"
Hearing this question, Lu Ziji shuddered all over, his eyes filled with fear.
"Too strong... too terrifying... With just one move, he defeated all the people from the Law Enforcent Hall..."
"Too terrifying..."
"Terrible, terrible, he is... he said... Elder, he said, said..."
Lu Tianxun heard his weak voice, widened his eyes in shock, realizing Lu Ziji had sothing to say, he quickly moved closer, bending down.
But just as he got close, Lu Ziji breathed his last breath.
His arm fell limp, lifeless.
His eyes bulged out terribly, unclose in death!
"Lu Ziji!" Lu Tianxun shouted loudly.
Regrettably, Lu Ziji could no longer speak, he hadn’t even managed to reveal Fang Yu’s true identity.
Furious, Lu Tianxun clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white and made a cracking sound.
Lu Tianxun straightened up, his expression fierce.
At this mont, a Lu Family disciple bowed outside the door and said, "Elder Lu, in the small path in the west woods, we discovered the bodies of Law Enforcent Hall disciples, a total of six people!"
Bodies?
Lu Tianxun was even more puzzled.
If the enemy was really so terrifying, why not kill them on the spot instead of letting them escape?
"How did they die?" Lu Tianxun asked.
"Their Dantian shattered, wounds severe."
Liu Tianxun reluctantly examined Lu Ziji’s injuries, sa results: Dantian shattered, injuries severe, internal core displaced.
To seriously injure Lu Ziji, the strength must be at least the peak of Martial Arts Sixth Layer.
But achieving a one-hit kill against nurous disciples of the Law Enforcent Hall at the Sixth Layer is obviously not likely!
Could it be...
The Seventh Layer?
Lu Tianxun’s pupils shrank, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
"Sect Leader has been in seclusion for a year, and it’ll still be so ti before he cos out. Do I really have to endure?" Lu Tianxun gritted his teeth.
He wasn’t incapable of dealing with Fang Yu. It was just... he wanted to choose a more secure thod.
From the updated data on the strength rankings, this Iron Fist is at least at the Martial Arts Seventh Layer Middle Stage.
To kill an expert at the Seventh Layer Interdiate, unless... the power of the Lu Family’s Nine Layers Hall is utilized.
But...
Lu Tianyuan had instructed a thousand tis over, the power of the Nine Layers Hall can only be used by him; no one else is allowed to use it!
Violators will have their martial arts abolished and be expelled from the Lu Family!
The late Lu Family elders once said that the Nine Layers Hall is the last defense that keeps the Lu Family standing. The reason behind it is unknown to anyone. Only the successive Sect Leaders operate and cultivate the Nine Layers Hall.
The elders only ntioned that cultivating disciples for the Nine Layers Hall requires special thods, and their strength is terrifying to the extre.
As for the rest, nothing is known.
With this thought in mind.
Lu Tianxun sighed.
It seems the only way is to persuade the other three Elders.
"We must take down this person before the Sect Leader cos out of seclusion." Lu Tianxun’s face darkened, and he murmured softly, "Black Wood Lotus must not fall into the hands of others..."
...
...
anwhile.
Fang Yu and Chen Daotian drove back to Yanjing.
Chen Daotian bid farewell to Fang Yu and returned to the branch.
As evening approached, Fang Yu arrived outside the Ye Family villa.
The lights were bright.
It seed like there was a happy occasion.
From outside the courtyard, he could hear the lively laughter coming from inside.
Strange, after he left, only Ye Wenjun and Zhong Long were at ho, both of whom are quiet people. Why is it so lively, then?
With curiosity, Fang Yu walked in.
As he reached the entrance, the sharp-eyed guard imdiately bowed and said, "Son-in-law, you, you’re back?"
"Nonsense." Fang Yu gave him a blank look.
This single word "nonsense" utterly blocked the guard, thinking that greeting him was needless, wasn’t it?
Fang Yu, with his hands behind his back, swaggered in.
Just as he arrived outside the main entrance of the hall, an elegant woman ca out.
This woman wore a purple dress, noble and elegant, with her hair dyed light yellow, looking like she belonged to a wealthy family.
The woman looked up and couldn’t help frowning, asking:
"Who are you?"
"?" Fang Yu paused, "I was about to ask who you are."
How could he not be surprised by the sudden appearance of a woman in his ho?
The woman was also observant, quickly sized Fang Yu up, and thinking that she had just called a maintenance worker on the phone, asked, "Here to fix the plumbing?"
Uh...
Fang Yu looked down at his clothes.
He had left in a hurry, dressed very casually, and after a fight in Chen Family Village, he was dusty and disheveled, indeed looking like soone who might be there to fix the plumbing.
"Can’t you see? I’m the owner here, not so plumber," said Fang Yu righteously.
Pfft—
The woman covered her mouth and laughed.
"You really are shaless. Who is the owner here if not I know? Then I must have lived my life in vain... You bunch of losers always dream about marrying a rich and beautiful girl. Deserve to stay poor forever."
As she spoke, her tone turned harsher, "Look at your defiant face, this is the Ye Family. If you want to keep your job, behave yourself in front of this lady."
"..." Fang Yu suddenly felt a real urge to punch soone. Where did this shrew pop up from?
