CHAPTER 1119: CHAPTER 1112: ARRIVING ONE AFTER ANOTHER

Old Master Lu’s voice echoed in the hall, causing Zhao Wuji and others to suddenly feel a bad premonition. More than twenty years ago, Lu Tianzhan caused a stir in Jiangnan, forcing other families to unite against the Lu Family and compelled them to send Lu Tianzhan to Beijing. Now that Old Master Lu is bringing up past events again, it definitely won’t be anything good.

Some people in the Lu Family also had a change in expression; they were among those who persuaded Old Master Lu to compromise back then.

Old Master Lu ignored the changing expressions around him and continued speaking to himself.

"More than twenty years, a full twenty years. All these years, I’ve lived with guilt every moment. If I hadn’t cared so much about the Lu Family back then, my son and daughter-in-law wouldn’t have died, and my grandson wouldn’t have become an orphan. Now, more than twenty years later, you want to repeat the same trick, wanting to cripple my grandson, to turn him into a useless person. I’m telling you, you’re just delusional. If anyone dares to say another word, I won’t mind using your heads to test the sharpness of my treasured knife."

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically upon hearing this statement, as if suddenly recalling the scene of Old Master Lu killing his way into Beijing with just a knife over twenty years ago.

"Old Master Lu, such murderous aura, this isn’t good."

Just then, an abrupt voice came from outside the hall again. Everyone turned their heads towards the door and immediately saw a man in a Tang suit appear in their sight. He had no imposing aura, but in the eyes of others, he seemed like a treasured sword hidden in its sheath, and once drawn, it would be a river of blood.

Beside the man was another man dressed in casual clothes. This man’s expression was cold with no visible emotion, and his slender fingers, similar to a woman’s, played with a golden copper coin, the flickering shadow of which made it impossible to see where the coin really was.

These two were Sima Lingyun and Mu Qingchuan.

Seeing Sima Lingyun and Mu Qingchuan, everyone’s hearts sank. They naturally knew who Sima Lingyun and Mu Qingchuan were and understood their identities. What were they doing here now?

Could it be they came for Lu Tianxing too?

The thought made its way into Zhao Wuji’s mind, and his expression changed immediately. If Sima Lingyun and Mu Qingchuan came for Lu Tianxing, their desire to suppress the Lu Family today and cripple Lu Tianxing seemed destined to fail.

"Group Leader Sima, what brings you to the Lu Family? Do you intend to stop us from taking revenge?"

Zhao Wuji’s expression was somewhat unpleasant and a bit tense.

"Don’t be nervous, I’m just here to watch the excitement."

Sima Lingyun glanced around, paused on Lu Tianxing, and finally landed his gaze on Old Master Lu: "Old Master Lu, please pardon my intrusion."

"Group Leader Sima, you must be joking. Your presence brings glory to my humble abode. Why would I mind?"

Old Master Lu said with a smile, "Young man from the Mu Family, what brings you here today? Your ox-nosed grandfather actually let you leave Beijing?"

"Elder Lu, you’re joking. I’m here accompanying Sima today." Mu Qingchuan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Since you’re here, don’t just stand there, have a seat first!"

Old Master Lu signaled for someone to bring two chairs over.

Without any hesitation, Sima Lingyun and Mu Qingchuan sat down, casually watching the hall, as if waiting for a good show to begin.

Zhao Wuji and others focused their gaze on Sima Lingyun, trying to guess whether Sima Lingyun and Mu Qingchuan were here for Lu Tianxing or, as they claimed, just to watch the excitement.

However, Sima Lingyun maintained a slight smile, making it impossible to discern his intentions.

"Old Master Lu, are you determined to oppose the entire Jiangnan Family?"

Zhao Wuji took a deep breath, knowing he couldn’t wait any longer. If he waited, unforeseen changes might occur, and it would be impossible to cripple Lu Tianxing.

Before Old Master Lu could speak, a crisp voice rang out at the door again: "So what if we oppose your entire Jiangnan Family? You bunch of crumbling tiles and walls, try touching Lu Tianxing, and killing you will be as easy as flipping my hand."

"Killing you will be as easy as flipping my hand?"

The appearance of this voice made everyone’s heart sink. Who was this woman coming, and she didn’t seem friendly.

The next moment, an unusually beautiful woman slowly walked in from outside. She wore a black long dress, her figure tall and curvy, with wavy hair shimmering rose-red under the sunlight, complementing a charming face that made one feel hot-blooded at the sight, wanting to covet her.

The woman had subtle eye makeup, her watery eyes carrying hints of enigma. The proud Holy Maiden Peak exuded the perfect charm of a mature woman, while her perky hips under the black long dress caught the eye. Her legs, wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, ended in crystal high heels, radiating an aura of nobility, adding to her allure.

But at this moment, this woman’s delicate face was as cold as frost, with a hint of a vague murderous intent, a strong aura permeating her presence.

Although this woman was beautiful and enchanting, nobody dared look at her with a disrespectful gaze because she was none other than the Sect Leader of the Shen Family, Shen Manjun.

Behind Shen Manjun, Uncle Shou and two clan elders from the Shen Family followed closely, their eyes sweeping over Zhao Wuji and others disdainfully, as if looking at dead people, with no emotional fluctuations.

Beside them stood an adorably dressed little girl. Although her face was tense, her black and white eyes kept darting around, appearing extremely mischievous. When she saw Lu Tianxing standing in the hall, a look of joy flashed on her face. She wanted to rush over but was held back by the current scene, only able to gaze at Lu Tianxing with her eyes.

"Shen Manjun, what brings you here? This is Jiangnan, not Beijing. Are you also planning to meddle in this affair and oppose all of Jiangnan’s families?"

Seeing Shen Manjun, Zhao Wuji and others’ expressions turned exceedingly ugly. Having Sima Lingyun and Mu Qingchuan of unclear intentions was one thing, but now Shen Manjun appeared too, making it increasingly difficult for them to suppress the Lu Family.
