…
"Oh no, something big is going to happen now!"
Although the Martial Emperor was a bystander, he could not help but frown as he muttered. Chen Rui's death had blown the matter out of proportion.
The enmity between the Chen Clan and the Lu Clan had gone from being enemies to being sworn enemies … No matter how much of a good-for-nothing Chen Rui was, he was still a direct descendant of the Chen Clan. Moreover, it took a huge amount of resources for him to reach the level of a half-step Martial Emperor.
In the end, he was killed by Lu Yu before he could make any contributions or leave behind any descendants. It was definitely a waste of the Chen Clan's huge investment.
This kind of hatred could be said to be a death feud. It was absolutely impossible for him to let it go so easily. In fact, if Chen Zhong left in such a rage, it was very likely that he would lead more experts from the Chen Clan to the Lu Clan to seek justice and take revenge.
"I have to report this to the Elder Council as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it really blows up … it'll really be a disaster!"
The Martial Emperor might be very powerful, but his position in the Elder Council was only ordinary. He did not dare to offend the Chen Clan and the Lu Clan. Moreover, this kind of matter could easily affect the entire Penglai Secret Realm. He could not afford to underestimate or ignore it.
Chen Zhong angrily left with Chen Rui's scattered corpse. Anyone could feel his monstrous anger. If Lu Yu hadn't already left, Chen Zhong would've probably killed his way over without a care in the world.
Even so, there would definitely be a huge battle.
The Martial Emperor immediately rushed to the Elder Council …
On the other hand, Li 'er's house was completely destroyed. Li' er stood in a corner and looked at the ruins coldly. However, she was quite happy in her heart.
From the reaction of Lu Yu, Chen Zhong, and the others, she already knew that the death of her brother, Fan Jin, was related to the two of them …
In that case, these two people were her enemies!
The clan behind them might not necessarily be involved, but they were definitely one of the masterminds. They were also her enemies!
Qin Fang's action had provoked the enmity between the two clans. It was also helping Li 'er take revenge … Therefore, no matter how tragic the battle was, she did not care. She was only secretly happy that Qin Fang's plan was too perfect.
"Miss Li 'er …"
Right at this time, a voice sounded out by Li-er's ear.
Li 'er was also slightly taken aback. Her body trembled slightly, but after a brief moment of astonishment, her eyes immediately revealed joy because she recognized who the voice belonged to.
This was naturally Qin Fang.
"Find a place to settle down first. Once I'm done, I'll look for you …" He gave a simple instruction.
The starting point of Lu Yu and Chen Zhong's conflict was naturally Li-er.
However, the battle between the two of them had nothing to do with Li 'er. After all, she was only an ordinary Venerable. How could she interfere with the battle between two Half-Step Martial Emperors?
However, the Guardian Martial Emperor had gone to the Elders Council. This matter would soon be handled by the Elders Council. It was very likely that Li 'er would be called over.
Then, it was definitely inappropriate for Qin Fang to bring Li-er along …
Moreover, Qin Fang previously appeared as Chen Rui. Now that Chen Rui was dead, it was not appropriate for Qin Fang to show up. He could only continue to lurk.
"Mmm, I understand …"
Li-er was also a smart and sensible girl. Although she did not know where Qin Fang was hiding to talk to her, she very wisely nodded and left to look for a place to stay.
After watching Li-er leave, Qin Fang also disappeared without a trace …
He left like this not only to hide himself, but also for another more important matter. To be precise, he wanted to perfect Qin Fang's opportunity to frame him.
That was … to kill Lu Yu!
That's right, to kill Lu Yu!
Others might not be able to tell, but both Lu Yu and Chen Zhong had given their all in the battle. Under the obstruction of the Guardian Martial Emperor, both of them did not seem to have suffered any substantial injuries. At most, their vitality was slightly damaged.
In other words, if they really encountered a life-threatening crisis, they were still top Half-Step Martial Emperors and could still withstand it …
As a Half-Step Martial Emperor, Qin Fang's success rate was not high if he wanted to kill Lu Yu. It was even more difficult if he did not attract the attention of other powerhouses. It was almost impossible.
However, Qin Fang still decided to do so.
Moreover, the success rate was not as low as others thought. In fact, Qin Fang was almost 100% confident that he could kill Lu Yu.
This was because … Qin Fang had already secretly killed Lu Yu when he was fighting with him. It was just that most people would not be able to tell. Even Lu Yu himself could not sense it.
However, now …
On the way back to the Lu Clan, Lu Yu had already felt that something was not quite right. This was why Qin Fang wanted to kill Lu Yu.
On a small mountain not too far away from the town …
This was the only way Lu Yu could return to the Lu Clan. However, the mountain path was slightly narrow and there were not many people coming and going …
Other than the guards who were patrolling the mountain, very few people would pass by here.
This was also one of the more primitive and backward places in the Penglai Secret Region. Perhaps because most of the people were self-sufficient, the connection between the towns was not very close.
Unless it was to visit relatives or something, they wouldn't move around much.
Of course, there were more cultivators moving around …
However, there were not many people walking on this path. It could even be said that it was quite rare. Lu Yu did not see anyone along the way.
In fact, the best way to go from the town to the Fiery Fairy Island was to take a boat … He could reach the Fiery Fairy Island by crossing the sea directly.
Even if he could not go directly, he could take a detour to the Lu Clan's territory.
However, Lu Yu did not do so. Instead, he chose to take this path and cross the mountains to return home … Time was indeed very important to him, but his life was more important.
That town was closer to the Chen Clan's territory. If he took a boat to cross the sea, he would have to pass by the Chen Clan's territory …
If the Chen Clan wanted to assassinate him, they would definitely choose to attack him on the sea … As a Fire-type cultivator, Lu Yu would be at a great disadvantage on the sea.
Therefore, he naturally chose to take this mountain path …
Even if he was attacked by the Chen Clan, he could hide in the forest nearby. If necessary, he could even set fire to the mountain. It would not be a problem for him to stay alive.
It could be said that this idea was very good.
However, Lu Yu would never have thought that his plan was more in line with the plan of an enemy who was hiding in the dark.
"Even the Heavens are helping me …"
Qin Fang could not help but mutter.
He had been planning to ambush Lu Yu from the moment he saw Chen Zhong using the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Dracomammoth, and had been planning to do so from the moment he saw Chen Zhong use his Strength of the Hell-Crushing Dracomammoth.
Now that he had successfully made Lu Yu a scapegoat, he was going to do the same to the Chen Clan and Chen Zhong …
Chen Zhong was certain that Lu Yu was the one who killed Chen Rui. Moreover, there were dozens of people at the scene who saw Lu Yu heavily injure Chen Rui. After that, Chen Rui crawled out of the ruins and was already scattered. Even if Lu Yu had ten mouths, he wouldn't be able to deny it.
At the same time, if Lu Yu had been killed by the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Dragon Elephant … then Chen Zhong would be the prime suspect.
Of course, the Chen Clan would deny it, and Chen Zhong would deny it. But would the Lu Clan care about that?
Lu Yu was the number one expert among the younger generation of the Lu Clan, and the future of the clan. If he was killed, the Lu Clan would definitely be furious. How could they possibly investigate the matter?
Perhaps they would come to realize what had happened later, but by that time, Qin Fang would have accomplished his mission and left ….
It didn't take long for Qin Fang to catch up with Lu Yu.
It was not that Lu Yu's speed was not fast enough, but something that Qin Fang had left in his body had started to take effect slowly, which made him feel uncomfortable.
His footsteps slowed, and he wasn't as fast as before. For a moment, he even thought that his injuries were starting to take effect.
Then how could he outrun Qin Fang who was unharmed?
"Mirage Demon, go!"
Qin Fang chuckled, then turned to his new subordinate, Mirage Demon. Although he was going to make a move, Qin Fang wanted to think about how to do it.
His goal was simple: kill Lu Yu.
As for how to kill Lu Yu without leaving any clues behind, that was something Qin Fang had to think about. After all, framing and framing was something that most people couldn't do.
A moment later, Lu Yu stood still and looked at Chen Zhong cautiously. His eyes were filled with vigilance, and his body was tense.
"Chen Zhong, what do you want to do?"
Lu Yu glared at the man opposite him and yelled, because a man was blocking his way. It was Chen Zhong, who had just fought with him.
At this moment, Chen Zhong's eyes were full of anger. He looked like a powder keg that could explode at any time. This made Lu Yu even more wary.
Is this Chen Zhong?
Obviously not!
This was transformed by Mirage Demon. It was used to attract Lu Yu's attention, and the real killer hiding behind was Qin Fang.
Although Qin Fang had full confidence in killing Lu Yu, he was also afraid that there would be an accident. So, letting Mirage Demon transform into Chen Zhong was equivalent to deceiving Lu Yu's eyes.
If Lu Yu escaped alive, Qin Fang wouldn't have to expose himself. In the end, Chen Zhong would be the scapegoat, and Qin Fang's goal could still be achieved.
Of course, Qin Fang hoped that he could kill Lu Yu here. This was the best effect …
