Chapter 19: The Immortal World
The sun sets below the horizon, dusk fades and night falls.
Lu family.
In the hall with simple and quaint decoration, a ragged informant handed the note in his hand to the gentle man in a red shirt in front of him.
"Boss Lu, this is the information I found out."
"Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome. I'll be leaving first. See you later."
The informant stood up and bowed in farewell.
"Walk slowly."
Lu Xuan watched the other party leave, then opened his palm and checked the note.
The handwriting on it was crooked and the content was extremely shocking. After reading it, Lu Xuan's face changed slightly and his brain was unable to calm down for a while.
He held the note tightly in his pocket, sitting upright on a wooden chair, his eyes showing fear, concern, and forbearance.
Time passed by second by second. About half an hour later, the head of the Lu family slowly stood up and exhaled the anger in his chest.
He decided to tell his uncle the news.
In a brightly lit study, a white-haired, energetic old man is lying on a throne, holding an ancient scripture in his hand and reading it carefully. There is a cup of freshly brewed tea on the table.
The sound of brisk footsteps came closer from afar.
Lu Xuan entered the study and said straight to the point: "Uncle, something happened."
"how?"
Hearing this, Old Master Lu shifted his gaze away from the complex text on the ancient scripture, held the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and moistened his throat.
"Is Trinity going to start causing trouble for Quan Xing?"
"If Jin'er doesn't want to come back, it's useless to force him."
Looking at Lu Xuan, to whom he passed the throne, the old man frowned, his tone slightly unhappy:
"Humph, don't think I don't know what you do in private!"
"If you force him back at this time, he will hate you for the rest of his life."
Lu Xuan froze in place, wanting to explain himself, but the old man's calm and dignified gaze forced him to admit his mistake.
"Uncle, I was rash in writing the letter without permission, but I was really worried that Jin'er would be involved in the dispute with Quan Xing."
"That's enough. Let's talk."
Old Master Lu didn't want to hear those explanations. He saw that Lu Xuan looked uneasy, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Trinity Sect. Had a big fight with Quan Xing yesterday."
"The two Taoist priests, Si Chong and Cheng Zhen, killed the three evil spirits Bing Gui, Gu Yu, and Xiao Yan, as well as Zhao Wuyuan, in Quan Xing's territory. More than seventy people died."
"In addition, Quan Xing also attacked the Trinity Gate at night when the two were out, causing quite a stir."
"According to our informant, two people from the Trinity Sect died. Jin'er is fine, perhaps only slightly injured."
Lu Xuan repeated the contents of the note one by one.
Even Mr. Lu, who had seen a lot of storms, was still very surprised.
The status of the dead in the whole nature is too high, and they can be regarded as pillars, not to mention the three evils who have set foot in the realm of the Grandmaster.
With his withered fingers, he tapped the tabletop silently. Mr. Lu looked a little worried. He pursed his lips and sighed, "So it was Zhao Wuyuan?"
"No wonder those two killed each other so hard that blood flowed like a river."
"Compared to Wu Gensheng and Li Muxuan causing the death of Zuo Menchang, it is almost the same."
Lu Xuan was dumbfounded by this secret, and cold sweat dripped down his temples. He asked in confusion:
"Uncle, what blood feud is there between them?"
Mr. Lu stroked his white beard, and a past event came to his mind.
He was old and didn't remember clearly. He drank tea first, took a deep breath, put the ancient scripture aside, and then said solemnly:
"Many years ago, a group of evil cultivators from southern Xinjiang appeared in the southeastern coastal areas."
"They are good at using poison and are so powerful that they dominate the entire region. There are several poison masters. Wherever they go, lives are lost and corpses are everywhere."
"Many children born on special dates have become materials for these beasts to use as sacrifices to refine evil weapons."
"How many civilians were implicated? Hundreds, or nearly a thousand?"
Old Master Lu rubbed his temple painfully, and the trivialities in the corner of his memory were salvaged out. He continued: "It should be eight hundred."
“It’s very miserable anyway.”
"This act was so outrageous that it was soon suppressed by all the major righteous sects, including Longhu Mountain, Wudang, Shangqing, Huode Sect, Yanwu Hall, Sanyi Sect, etc."
"A lot of disciples gathered here, all of them were the best talents of that generation, but they were all slaughtered by those evil cultivators."
"Even Quan Xing at that time didn't dare to provoke this group of people. After the elders were killed, he didn't dare to say a word and ran away in disgrace."
Lu Xuan felt distressed when he heard this: "What happened next? Zhao Wuyuan should be one of them, right?" "Humph!"
"What happened later?"
Mr. Lu told the whole story of the bloody past: "A large number of refugees ran to the major righteous sects to kneel down and beg."
"While other sects are still hesitating and weighing the pros and cons."
"The nearest Trinity Gate has taken action."
"Without a moment's delay, after receiving the refugees, Zuo Menzhang took Shi Chong and Cheng Zhen with him and rushed all the way to the coastal area."
"Just the three of them broke into the place where the demons were entrenched and killed them all, causing blood to flow everywhere."
"?!"
Lu Xuan's pupils trembled and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He couldn't expect that the Trinity Sect had such a domineering side.
Old Master Lu blew the tea in his cup, with a gloating smile on his face: "That battle was really dark and chaotic."
"When the evil cultivators fled to the southern border and several sects were preparing to take action, news came one after another that the left sect leader had beheaded the evil cultivators."
"A total of 24 evil cultivators were beaten and forced to flee. On the way, the Grand Master of Poison Gu who was guarding the rear was chopped into a human stick."
"There are still two poison masters and scattered evil cultivators who have fled to the Hundred Thousand Mountains in southern Xinjiang."
"Just when everyone thought that Zuo Menzhang would stop here."
"He broke in, and no one knew the details of that year. But half a year later, he came out with two poison grandmaster heads and threw them to the refugees."
"For a time, the whole world was shaken! Since then, the Trinity Sect has entered its heyday."
"And the refugees even gave Chief Zuo the beautiful title of 'Great Prosperity Immortal', praising his great achievements."
"As for his character, it's impeccable, right?"
Lu Xuan's heart was filled with turmoil, and he murmured, "No one can be called a perfect person."
Thinking of the passing of this person, Mr. Lu couldn't help but feel melancholy.
"Among the younger generation back then, he was the one I admired the most; otherwise, I would not have allowed Jin'er to become his disciple."
"But there should be remnants left in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and Zhao Wuyuan is one of them. After more than ten years, he also achieved great success in his cultivation and returned to the Central Plains to wreak havoc. He picked a Quan Xing elder to replace him."
"Jin'er is a disciple of Sanyi. Whether it's Wu Gensheng and Li Muxuan who broke into the mountain and killed Sect Leader Zuo, or this evil cultivator represented by Zhao Wuyuan, they are all related to Quan Xing."
Lu Xuan felt at a loss. He didn't want his son to take risks against Quan Xing, nor did he want to hinder his revenge.
"You can't stop him, emotionally, rationally, publicly or privately."
Mr. Lu slowly closed his eyes. Although he felt tired, he made a final decision: "The child has grown up. Let him go."
"The descendants of the Lu family must have blood."
