Chapter 217 Confrontation with the Lu Family
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Late at night, thick smoke billowed from the ferry along the harbor, as it was about to set sail.
Lu Ren regretted his decision. He disregarded the interests of his family and absconded with his daughter whose bloodline had been modified.
"Dad, where are we going?"
"USA."
The sparsely populated passengers boarded the ship one after another. In the spacious and bright cabin, Lu Ren waited anxiously. Dense beads of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his slightly trembling hands showed his inner panic.
This was definitely the most dangerous and tense moment in Lu Ren's life. He didn't feel relieved until the ferry slowly set sail, left the port and entered the boundless dark ocean.
"Dad, what happened this time? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Lu Yanjian, wearing a light white floral dress, had a pretty face and clear eyes. She was confused by Lu Ren's hasty schedule.
"Don't you want to say hello to your family?"
"No"
Lu Ren stared blankly at the pocket watch in his palm, on which was embedded a photo of his wife before she passed away.
In the evening, he thought of the promise he had made. At the last moment, he could not suppress his impulse and decided to take his daughter away from home even at the risk of his life.
"The people in the tribe are all maniacs."
"Jane, there are some things I don't know how to tell you, but in order to protect you, there is no turning back."
Lu Ren's expression eased slightly, and he said earnestly:
"We will live in New York from now on, at your Aunt Su's place. When we have the chance, Dad will explain today's events to you, okay?"
"it is good"
Lu Yanjian pursed her lips. She noticed that her father looked worried, so she agreed sensibly.
In the dark night, the ferry breaks through billions of sea water and sails towards the prosperous country on the other side of the ocean.
child time.
The elite soldiers who were in charge of guarding Lu Yanjian slowly woke up from their sleep. They felt severe pain in the back of their heads and could not even walk steadily.
"bad"
"Uncle Ren, he kidnapped someone!"
"Hurry up and inform the head of the family and the masters."
These three men were quite capable and were also the best young fighters in the clan. They were accidentally framed by Lu Ren and inhaled a large amount of Ecstasy Powder. They were also hit by an elbow on the back of the neck and were unconscious for more than several hours.
When they woke up, the father and daughter were missing. They were so frightened that they took remedial measures immediately even if they would be punished for it.
instantly.
The roar of rage echoed in the Lu family's hall.
"What on earth was this bastard Lu Ren thinking? He actually went back on his word and took Yan Jian away without permission."
Father Lu was angry at his son for not fighting back, and he clenched his fists so tightly that veins bulged out.
"."
Lu Yue watched all this in silence. Among the elders present, he had the youngest position and was not even qualified to interrupt. He just felt slightly relieved for the child.
"Lü Ci, Lü Shu, and Lü Wan are still in the clan. Keep them under strict guard. Anyone who lets them go will be considered a traitor to the clan and will be executed on the spot."
Father Lu was filled with murderous intent. He had never expected that his most reliable brothers and sisters would abandon him and his family at the critical moment.
With Lu Ren's wisdom, he must have arranged a retreat route. Nearly two hours have passed, and searching for him further would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is unrealistic.
"Be on guard day and night, but you can't guard against thieves at home"
"If everyone abandons the family for their own selfish desires, the family will surely decline in the long run."
"For such a serious crime, we will send someone to take his life after the storm is over."
The elders expressed their opinions. Father Lu thought of the imprisoned Duanmu Ying, so he asked the third elder, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
"No, she was very quiet. She slept for a long time and hasn't woken up yet."
The elders of the three clans sensed something bad was going on. The unexpected escape of Lu Ren and his daughter gave the old man a bad feeling and he suggested:
"After she wakes up, I will prepare paper, pen and ink, and ask her to write down the training method of the unique skill. She will be well prepared. Even if she cannot inherit it by nature, she will be able to cultivate it later."
"More haste makes waste. Besides, we have plenty of time to transform our bloodline in the future, so there is no need to rush."
"Too."
Father Lu rubbed his temple and said distressedly:
"It would be great if there was more news about the Six Treasury Immortal Thief, but Ruan Feng is hiding very well."
The second elder of the clan, who was wearing a gray-black long gown and had a white head and an old face, was unhappy: "It's a pity about the Tongtian Talisman. We obviously got it, but Quan Xing messed it up and lost several people."
"There have been rumors these days that Zheng Zibu went to the Lu family and died in the street not long after. I guess they got the Tongtian Scroll."
Father Lu felt a little depressed. After going around in circles, it seemed that he was back to square one.
The Wang family obtained the Soul-Binding and General-Sending Skill, the Lu family obtained the Heaven-Transmitting Skill, and only the Gao family obtained nothing. However, the Lu family was not much behind the first two families. Unless they could obtain another unique skill, they would still be on par with them.
Greed is insatiable. For powerful families like Wang and Lu, just one unique skill is not enough to satisfy their appetite. With their connections in both the political and business circles, even if they snatch a few more unique skills, other underworld forces, no matter how jealous they are, will not dare to openly conflict with them.
"Search." "Put a big reward on Ruan Feng's whereabouts. Except for the guards in the clan, all other people can be sent out. If there are not enough, hire escorts from the escort agency. Even if you have to dig deep into the ground, you must catch those remnants with extraordinary skills for me."
Father Lu is very ambitious. He is determined to acquire two or more unique skills to create hundreds of years of glory for his family.
However, before the elite soldiers and elders present could respond, a cold voice penetrated the courtyard and reached the hall.
"Boss Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you think you are so ambitious?"
"?!"
Everyone was shocked and looked in that direction, but in an instant they felt a chill run through them from head to toe.
He was wearing standard white clothes and had frosty hair. Even the young master of the Lu family was following beside him. The person who came was none other than the head of the Sanyi Sect - Jiang Mo, the only recognized immortal on earth in the chaotic world.
The Lu family servant who was in charge of leading the way was so frightened that his legs and feet were shaking. He avoided looking and did not dare to look at the master of the family.
Instantly.
The whole place fell into deathly silence, especially Father Lu. The elders of the clan felt as if they were on the edge of an abyss. The young man with white hair standing in front of them gave them a suffocating feeling as if he were the towering Mount Tai.
Lujia
Tongtian Lu.
Trinity Gate.
Duanmu Ying.
Zheng Zibu.
Putting the key words together, Father Lu was terrified and did not dare to speculate on the other party's intention of coming in person.
As early as a year ago, news had been circulating in the martial arts world that this legendary man was very close to ascending to heaven, and the daily affairs of the Trinity Sect were all taken care of by Wei Xuanzi and Mr. Kuang Ya.
Even when they were discussing how to deal with the thirty-six thieves some time ago, he did not show up. Most people thought that he was truly an immortal, but the top leaders of the Lu family could never have imagined that this giant Buddha would visit them in the middle of the night.
In just a moment, Father Lu's brain froze. He didn't know how to respond and was extremely anxious.
Just when he was distracted, the elder of the three tribes asked quietly:
"Master Jiang, your sudden visit has really frightened me. I wonder what your intention is?"
"kill."
Jiang Mo was calm and composed, and his simple words made everyone's hearts tremble suddenly.
"Oh? I wonder which young man in my Lu family offended you?"
The three clan elders pretended to ask questions, but they were actually very panicked. With their cloudy and cold eyes, they hardly dared to look the young man in the eye.
He was still stalling for time, thinking of a countermeasure, intending to counter the opponent's moves.
Seeing this old man pretending to be crazy and stupid, Jiang Mo smiled slightly:
"Duanmu Ying, when did you become a vassal of your Lu family? Since you have kidnapped her, bring her here, dead or alive."
"Master Jiang, you must have misunderstood. That witch is not from my Lu family. Don't trust the rumors from the outside world."
Lu's father repeatedly evaded the question, acted innocent, and insisted that Duanmu Ying was not in Lu's house.
"For the sake of our alliance, you can take whatever you want from me. I won't interfere. Bring it here immediately."
Jiang Mo's tone was firm, leaving no room for maneuver.
After these words were spoken, Father Lu and the other clan elders were delighted at first, but then they realized that the other party might have come just to kill people. However, they had not yet completed the handover of the Shuangquanshou technique, so it was impossible for them to hand over the person at this time.
"We have no idea what this Jiang Sect Master is."
"It's getting late. Why don't you stay at my Lu's house first? Maybe we can find some clues about that witch in a day or two."
The third clan elder still maintained his previous lie. Since the other party knew that Duanmu Ying was in the Lu family, he could not admit it directly and could only speak in a roundabout way, meaning that he would give the person to you in two days, but not now.
Seeing these old foxes' ambiguous words, Lu Jin said unhappily:
"Everyone, in some cases, we should save each other's face. If the situation becomes too ugly, it will be difficult to resolve."
When the Lu family abused Zheng Zibu, they knew that Zheng Zibu and the young master of the Lu family were close friends. Now that Lu Jin had rebuked them so coldly, the old guys were suddenly hesitant.
Even though they were bound by the alliance, Lu Jin would most likely not seek revenge, but they were still vaguely worried. This fear came from the deterrent power of his master.
The second elder of the clan looked embarrassed and said cautiously:
"My dear Lu, why are you so aggressive?"
"The four families have always been on good terms, and your sect has allied with us to face the national crisis and fight against the Japanese aliens. With such a strong brotherly friendship, if there really is the whereabouts of Duanmu Ying, how dare I lie to you?"
This is the end.
Jiang Mo gave two chances and Lu Jin reminded them once, but the Lu family still refused to hand over the person immediately.
The atmosphere was deadlocked, heavy and tense. Everyone in the Lu family was on edge and didn't dare to breathe.
The second clan elder was totally unaware of the coming danger. He looked at Jiang Mo and Lu Jin calmly, confident that his words were watertight and they would not turn against him.
However, the next moment, something strange happened.
"what!!!!"
A shrill wail came from the throat of the second elder. His brain was suddenly washed away by intense pain, black blood seeped from all his orifices, his old face was twisted and ugly, and he struggled like a madman.
Jiang Mo, who was activating the Soul-Breaking Curse, watched silently, with no sign of stopping. He deliberately reduced the power to the minimum. Considering the opponent's situation, he should be able to hold on for about dozens of breaths.
"what?!"
Everyone was horrified, terrified, and extremely angry at the same time. The opponent's tyranny was far beyond their expectations. They actually took action directly on the Lu family's territory and tortured the second elder of the powerful family into a state of being neither human nor ghost.
"what!!"
The old man couldn't bear the pain and cried and lost his mind.
His withered hands tore at his face, blood dripping all over it, and he fell into a strange state of madness.
