After leaving with Elder Lu, I didn't dare to return to the hotel. Instead, I asked Wang Kun to drive to the outskirts of the city. Finally, I found a secluded col and parked my car. I asked Wang Kun to wait for me in the car while I carried the charred Elder Lu inside.
The sneak attack from Tong Tong and I had made him faint and lose his ability to fight, but in fact, he had only used up his Dao Qi. The injuries on his body were not serious, and he had already recovered. Thus, when I threw him to the ground, he coughed lightly and woke up.
"Who are you?"
After waking up, Elder Lu's eyes were in a daze for a moment, but he quickly reacted to the situation. He sat on the ground and used his hands and feet to retreat. Unfortunately, he was in a cramped col, and after a few steps, his back was against the mountain wall.
I didn't answer him and just sat in front of him. I lit a cigarette and asked, "Tell me, what's your name and position in the Lu family?"
The man's face twitched, but he quickly hid the fear on his face. He put on a smile and hastily replied, "My name is Lu Zifeng. I'm the twin brother of Patriarch Lu Ziyang. Daoist captured me here for no reason. Is there a misunderstanding?"
This person was actually Lu Ziyang's younger brother!
Lu Ziyang was Lu Zhenyang's grandfather and also the Lu family's patriarch. He was rumored to be the Celestial Master of the current dynasty.
After saying that, Lu Zifeng seemed to gain some confidence. He slowly stood up and said, "If there really is a misunderstanding, our Lu family isn't unreasonable. Let's just talk about it.
If this daoist doesn't mind, let's be friends. If you need our Lu family's help in the future, just say the word. "
However, I just coldly looked at him and didn't answer his question. I simply described the black-clothed old man who had gone with Lu Zhenyang to my house. "Lu Zifeng, who that person is." I asked Lu Zifeng, "Lu Zifeng, who he is."
Lu Zifeng quickly told me that person was his third brother, Lu Zining.
At that time, I heard Lu Zhenyang call that person "Third Grandpa". It seemed that Lu Zifeng didn't lie to me. However, this made my heart even heavier. The Lu family's patriarch was a Celestial Master and I already felt that revenge was hopeless. Now, it seemed that the Lu family's foundation was far beyond my imagination.
Facing such a powerful Lu family, no matter how strong my will was, I couldn't help but waver.
However, I quickly regained my resolve. As a son, if I couldn't even take revenge for my parents' blood, I would be a complete failure in life.
No matter how powerful the Lu family was, I couldn't be the slightest bit afraid.
Shaking my head, I pushed the distracting thoughts aside and asked Lu Zifeng, "Tell me, why did your Lu family attack Wen Shan's family? Did you kill Lord Zhao?"
The smile on Lu Zifeng's face froze. He asked with some bewilderment, "Fellow Daoist, are you old friends with Wen Shan's lineage?"
I coldly glanced at him. "Answer my question."
Lu Zifeng's voice became hoarse. "This … I only received a notice from the clan to bring people to Meizhou to help Zhang Bingcheng. I didn't know what was going on before I came. Also, I wasn't the one who killed Zhao Dingwu."
"Is that so?"
The corner of my mouth raised into a mocking smile. "Since Zhang Bingcheng came to find the Lu family, it was clear that he couldn't deal with Wen Shan's branch alone. You came to help but didn't do anything. Do you believe that?"
Lu Zifeng hastily waved his hand at me and hastily said, "I didn't come alone. My third brother, Lu Zining's eldest son, Lu Chengping, came with me. He's at the Four Star Knowledge realm and his strength far surpasses mine. He and Zhang Bingcheng worked together to deal with Wen Shan's branch. I was only responsible for dealing with the aftermath."
Lu Chengping?
Lu Zining's eldest son?
My heart jumped. A few months had passed and I thought that the chance to take revenge on the Lu family was still far away. I didn't think that the chance would come to me so quickly!
Lu Zifeng was only the younger brother of Lu Ziyang and Lu Zining. Killing him wouldn't have much of an impact on the Lu family, but if this Lu Chengping were to die, Lu Zining would lose his son in his old age.
But according to what Lu Zifeng said, he was at the Four Star Knowledge realm. It wouldn't be easy to kill him, so I had to think about it.
Then, I carefully asked about the Lu family. Lu Zifeng most likely felt the killing intent in my words, so he didn't dare to hide anything and told me everything.
According to what he said, in the generation of the Lu family's old man, Lu Zining and his two brothers were all at the Sky Master realm. Not only that, in the second generation, Lu Ziyang's eldest son, Lu Chengyi, was also at the Sky Master realm!
A family with four Sky Masters, what kind of power was that!
Apart from that, in the second generation of the Lu family, there were many who were at the Glory of Knowledge realm. This power was terrifying.
Even so, Zhang Wenfei had told me that the Lu family was one of the top metaphysical families that didn't have much foundation. From this, one could see how strong the metaphysical families that had been passed down for thousands of years were.
When I got the title of Young Phoenix, I thought that Han Wennan and Zhang Kunlun weren't that talented, and that their future would be limited. But now, it seemed that in such a family, even if their talent wasn't as good as mine, their future achievements wouldn't be any worse than mine.
After I asked all the questions, Lu Zifeng was no longer useful to me. The Pure Yang Karmic Fire surged from my fingertip and pressed on his head.
Lu Zifeng's face was filled with shock, and he quickly got up to resist. However, he had used up all of his Dao Qi, and he had recovered less than a tenth of it. He barely resisted for a few seconds before the Dao Qi in his body was used up again. The Pure Yang Ye Fire wrapped around his head, and it burned fiercely. He screamed tragically.
I just stood there quietly. My eyes were extremely calm. Until Lu Zifeng's head was burned to ashes by the Pure Yang Karmic Fire, I gently blew on it. The ashes floated down, and Lu Zifeng's body became a headless corpse.
Next, I searched his body. In the end, this first-generation member of the Lu family, who was at the Glory of Knowledge realm, was really pitiful. He didn't have anything decent on him.
After killing Liang Kaixiong, I was marked by his Ghost Mark. Later, I relied on luck to escape. At this moment, I was afraid that Lu Zifeng had something similar on him, so I didn't dare to stay for long. After searching, I immediately returned to the car and hurriedly left.
When I returned to the hotel, I took out the Yin Yang Yama Brush and wanted to ask Old Man Zhao what had happened.
In the end, after communicating, Old Man Zhao asked me first. "Little friend Zhou Yi, your methods just now were too cruel … Do you have enmity with the Lu family?"
Cruel?
I smiled coldly and answered. "Absolutely irreconcilable."
Old Man Zhao seemed to be stunned, and didn't speak for a long time. Then, he sighed. "Never mind, it's good that you don't get blinded by hatred."
I had always respected Old Man Zhao, but when it came to the Lu family, anyone's advice was like the wind passing my ears. I definitely wouldn't take it to heart.
After nodding, I changed the topic to Wen Shan's group. I hurriedly asked him what had happened.
Lord Zhao was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "It's a long story. Let's talk about it this time. You should have more or less understood it. It was that Zhang Bingcheng who colluded with the Lu family and secretly imprisoned me. Then, he sent a message to Kan Wen and Wen Fei. After they returned to Mei Province, Zhang Bingcheng's true intentions were revealed. He worked together with the Lu family to kill the three of us …"
Hearing him say this, my heart tightened. I quickly interrupted and asked, "What's the situation with Zhang Wenfei and his fellow disciple now?"
In terms of feelings, Zhang Wenfei and I were the closest. After seeing the Yin Yang Yama Brush, my thoughts were always on him.
At this time, Old Man Zhao was silent again. After a long time, his sorrowful voice came again. "That day, Wenfei … died in battle. Kanwen ran out of energy. Then, to avoid the humiliation of the inherited magic tool, I used my remnant soul to open the Yin Yang Yama Brush's restriction … I don't know what happened after that."
Old Man Zhao had never married in his life. He had always treated Zhang Wenfei and his fellow disciple as his own. The grief of losing a son in his old age couldn't be described with words.
