CHAPTER 1118: CHAPTER 1111: THE GREATEST MISTAKE

"You’re talking nonsense, Zhao Wuji, stop spewing filth, it’s disgusting."

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji’s words, Lu Bowen was the first to speak, coldly saying, "Innocent, was your son innocent? Don’t think we don’t know what kind of person your son was. Back then, that hotel was exclusively rented by a group of spoiled rich kids, no one else could get in. Tell me, how did your son manage to get in? Coming to my Lu Family to cause trouble, Zhao Wuji, do you think that after all these years, my Lu Family has turned into vegetarians?"

"Whether the Lu Family has turned into vegetarians or not, I don’t know, but there’s an old saying that a father’s debt is repaid by his son. Back then, Lu Tianzhan acted recklessly, causing chaos throughout Jiangnan. But he’s dead now, and we won’t pursue a dead man’s responsibility, but now his son is still here. He must pay for his father’s actions back then and give us an explanation. Otherwise, none of our families will let it go." The middle-aged man Sun Qian said in a deep voice.

The Old Master of Lu Family’s expression turned extremely cold, and a sharpness flashed in his cloudy eyes, "So you’re saying you’ve come to force us today?"

"I wouldn’t dare."

Sun Qian slightly cupped his hands and said loudly, "This time I’ve come, I just want an explanation. I don’t mean to hold anyone accountable. However, the things Lu Tianzhan did back then were intolerable for both people and gods. Since his son is still alive, we must have an explanation. As long as he gives us an explanation, we will immediately leave."

"What explanation do you want?"

"We won’t go too far. We want Lu Tianxing to kneel on the ground, kowtow, and apologize to us, abolish his martial arts, and swear never to step into Jiangnan for the rest of his life. If he can do this, we can assure you that from now on, we won’t bother him." Zhao Wuji said solemnly.

"Destroy my grandson, do you really think I’m afraid to kill you all?"

The Old Master Lu’s voice was filled with a deep tone, a hint of murderous intent in his voice, indicating that today he was determined to kill.

Lu Tianxing watched with cold eyes, silently observing Sun Qian and Zhao Wuji playing their parts, his expression unchanged, quietly watching the scene.

Bai Zhiqing, on the other hand, clung tightly to Lu Tianxing’s arm with a tense expression. Bai Qiao Mountain and the others only snickered coldly without speaking. They wanted to see how the Lu Family would handle this matter.

"Kill me?"

Zhao Wuji was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter, "Lu Tiankuang, do you dare to kill me? Do you see who’s behind me? Zhao Family, Sun Family, Pang Family, Wei Family, Zhu Family, Xu Family, we’ve all come. Do you dare to kill us? If you kill us, the Lu Family will suffer too. To be honest, we’re here today to seek justice. If you don’t give us a reasonable explanation today, don’t blame us for being rude."

Zhao Wuji laughed heartily, his gaze sinisterly scanning everyone in the Lu Family, "Do you know? I’ve never forgotten my son’s desperate eyes for over twenty years. Do you know? Every time I close my eyes in these past twenty years, I see my son’s desperate and helpless look. His greatest wish in life was to kill Lu Tianzhan. Unfortunately, Lu Tianzhan died, so I can only make his son pay for it."

"Old Master of Lu Family, we have no intention of being enemies with the Lu Family, but I also hope the Lu Family gives us a reasonable explanation." Sun Qian also said at this time.

"That’s right, we need an explanation from the Lu Family."

"Family Head Zhao is right. We must have a reasonable explanation today. Otherwise, we don’t mind going to the end with the Lu Family."

"Right, today we need to seek justice no matter what. What Lu Tianzhan did back then was too excessive, and we must have a reasonable explanation. Make his son kneel on the ground and apologize to us, then abolish his martial arts and get out of Jiangnan."

Standing beside Zhao Wuji and Sun Qian, the other family members also shouted, their tones filled with murderous intent. Lu Tianxing must not be left alive. There is already one Lu Haoyue in the Lu Family, there cannot be another Lu Tianxing. If these two were to grow, who in Jiangnan could suppress the Lu Family?

"Lu Tiankuang, do you hear that? This is the voice of the Jiangnan Families. You must give us an explanation today. We dare not offend the Lu Family, nor threaten you, but if you don’t give us a reasonable explanation today, then our families, even if exhausting all resources, will go to the end with the Lu Family, without reprieve." Hearing the sounds from around, Zhao Wuji said unceremoniously to the Old Master.

All members of the Lu Family felt an overwhelming sense of oppression. First, it was Lu Tianxing’s arrogance, now families that once only dared to live off the Lu Family’s air were daring to unite to oppress the Lu Family. How could this not make one angry?

The Old Master Lu did not say anything further, instead bowed his head and sunk into thought.

Lu Hongda, seeing this scene, became a little restless and hurriedly said, "Dad, think thrice before acting. Our Lu Family can no longer withstand any more turmoil. If this continues, our Lu Family might end up destroyed, Dad, think thrice."

"Yes, this is no trifling matter. We must not allow the Lu Family to fall into ruin because of one person."

"Grandfather, please reconsider. With so many families united, if we destroy them, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Suddenly, members of the Lu Family spoke up one after another. Although the Lu Family withdrew from Beijing, it is still a dominant force in Jiangnan. If they confront the Jiangnan Families to the death over Lu Tianxing’s matter, it won’t benefit them at all.

"Haoyue, what do you think?"

Suddenly, the Old Master Lu focused his gaze on Lu Haoyue behind Lu Bowen.

"Kill! Since our Lu Family was founded, we’ve never had the words ’humble and servile’ in our lexicon. If they dare to unite to cause trouble, it means this matter can no longer be resolved peacefully. Since it can’t be resolved peacefully, then kill, kill until they shake with fear, until they never dare to seek trouble again." Lu Haoyue said with murderous intent.

"Lu Haoyue, do you know what you’re saying? Doing this will bring the Lu Family to a state of eternal damnation; you’ll be the eternal sinner of the Lu Family." Lu Hongda sternly scolded Lu Tianxing.

"Lu Haoyue, you’re leading the Lu Family down a dead-end. I don’t think you deserve to be the heir to the Lu Family’s headship." Lu Gaoyang also loudly rebuked.

"Enough."

The Old Master Lu suddenly stood up from his chair, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone in the hall, and he said softly, "Over twenty years ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life, which was to listen to you, humbling ourselves to eliminate the hatred other Jiangnan families had for the Lu Family, personally driving my son to Beijing to introspect. This was the biggest mistake of my life, an uncorrectable mistake that will last a lifetime..."
