…
Immortal Island.
This was the Lu Clan's territory. The current Island Master was Lu Qingfeng, the current Master of the Lu Clan. He was also Lu Yu's father.
"What?
Lu Yu is dead?
How is that possible … How could Lu Yu be dead? "
However, when he received the news, he felt as though the sky was falling. His face was pale as he kept muttering that it was impossible.
Lu Yu was his son, his most outstanding son … Even though he had five or six sons, Lu Yu was the only one who could inherit his talent and legacy. Lu Yu was also the best candidate to be the new Island Owner of the Immortal Flame Island.
Lu Yu was even one of the top five experts among the younger generation in the entire Peng Lai Secret Land. His cultivation was only one step away from the Martial Emperor Realm.
Moreover, this time, in order to reduce the pressure on his son, he specially agreed to the Chen Clan's request to plot against Fan Jin, who was ranked first among the younger generation. This way, his son Lu Yu could also take a step forward in the rankings. If he worked harder, it was possible for him to directly enter the top three.
In this way, in the upcoming competition for the new Island Master of Five Elements Immortal Island, the accident of Lu Yu inheriting the position of Island Master would be minimized.
However, he did not expect that just as he was excitedly receiving the big gift from the Chen Clan, the news of his son Lu Yu's tragic death came …
This almost drove Lu Qingfeng crazy!
Lu Yu was his greatest pride and also the hope of the Lu Clan. He had cultivated him for 30 years and finally reached this step with great difficulty. Just as he was about to become a talent, he suddenly died. This meant that the huge amount of resources provided by the Lu Clan for 30 years had been completely wasted.
Fan Jin was stronger than Lu Yu and more talented. However, he had a fatal flaw, which was that his background was too low …
Although the Peng Lai Secret Land was more tolerant of geniuses, it was still very strict. Moreover, there were no external enemies in the Peng Lai Secret Land. The fall of a genius like Fan Jin was not too harsh.
Especially when the person who killed him was from the big clans …
The Elders Guild was under the joint control of the big clans and the Five Elements Immortal Island. As long as the Elders Guild did not raise any objections, this matter would be treated as if nothing had happened.
This was also why Li 'er chose to cooperate with Qin Fang instead of appealing to the Elders Council when she heard the news.
The Chen Clan, where Chen Zhong was from, had been in charge of the Wood Fairy Island for many years. They had great authority in the Elders Guild and had paid a high price for the other clans. Naturally, they turned a blind eye to Fan Jin's matter. They chose to suppress it and let the matter rest.
As for a mere Li 'er, she had neither strength nor status. If she really dared to make a fuss, she would most likely be sent to be someone's concubine or something. If she continued to make a fuss, she would be directly thrown into the sea to feed those deep-sea beasts …
But Lu Yu's identity was different …
He was the direct descendant of the Lu Family, a big family. He was also the strongest candidate for the future Island Master of the Immortal Island. He was the hope of the Lu Family.
Yet, he was killed just like that. No matter how crazy Lu Qingfeng was, it was excusable … He was both a father and the head of the family. No matter which identity he had, he was unable to remain calm.
"Who did it?"
After roaring for a while to vent the anger in his chest, Lu Qingfeng asked through gritted teeth. The murderous intent in his eyes was even more wanton and violent.
"We don't have any concrete evidence …"
A servant from the Lu Family who came to report the news said carefully.
Bang!
However, what welcomed him was Lu Qingfeng's violent palm strike, which directly sent one of his arms flying … This was still Lu Qingfeng keeping him alive to ask questions. Otherwise, he might have already been smashed into meat paste.
Lu Qingfeng's strength was many times stronger than Lu Yu's. He could be said to be one of the top experts in the Peng Lai Secret Region. He had reached the level of a mid-stage Martial Emperor.
"Tell me, who did it?
I don't need any evidence … I just want to know who the murderer is! "
Lu Qingfeng shouted in exasperation.
With his status in the Peng Lai Secret Region, there was no one who could make him afraid. In his rage, he did not care about anything else.
"There's news that the Young Master was … was killed by Chen Zhong from the Chen Family!"
The unlucky servant endured the pain in his arm and gritted his teeth as he told Lu Qingfeng the news. Currently, there was no conclusion, but this news had already spread throughout the Peng Lai Secret Region.
"Chen Zhong?"
When Lu Qingfeng heard this name, he was slightly taken aback. There was a hint of surprise and seriousness between his brows. It was completely different from his earlier rage.
Was Lu Qingfeng afraid of Chen Zhong?
Obviously not!
Chen Zhong might be one of the best among the younger generation, but he was still too weak compared to Lu Qingfeng and the other experts of the older generation.
The only person who was worthy of their attention was Fan Jin, who had reached the level of a Quasi Martial Emperor. Unfortunately, he had fallen into their trap and was buried in the stomach of a deep-sea beast. Not even his bones were left behind.
What Lu Qingfeng was really afraid of was the Chen Family behind Chen Zhong … This was a big family that was almost the same as the Lu Family. Moreover, the Chen Family's Patriarch, Chen Aoxiang, had been Lu Qingfeng's old opponent for decades. They were quite familiar with each other, but they were evenly matched.
"Chen Zhong, Chen Family … Hmph!
Gather the troops immediately and follow me to the Wood Fairy Island. I want justice from the Chen Family! "
Although he was afraid, the Lu Family's losses were too great. Lu Yu could not die in vain. Lu Qingfeng had to seek justice. If possible, he would even think of a way to kill Chen Zhong to avenge his son.
As for what would happen between the two great families after this, he could not care less … The Chen Family had gone too far. No matter who was the Lu Family's Patriarch, they would not be able to tolerate it.
"Patriarch, there's another piece of news …"
Seeing that Lu Qingfeng was about to lead the troops to attack, the servant quickly added.
"There's more?
Speak … "
Lu Qingfeng was slightly stunned. He looked at the servant who had already lost an arm in astonishment. Obviously, he also felt that it was a little strange … He had already lost an arm because he said something wrong. How could he still dare to speak at a time like this?
Unless … There was something very important that he had not told him.
That was why he stopped and waited for the servant's next words …
"The Chen Family's Second Young Master, Chen Rui … seems to have been killed by Young Master Lu Yu!" The servant trembled with fear as he spoke.
Bang!
What he got in return was a violent palm strike from Lu Qingfeng, and his little life was over … Lu Qingfeng's expression was extremely ugly, and his anger soared to the sky.
This news was also very important …
It could even be said to be very crucial. If the truth was true, then it would not be so easy for him to lead the Lu Family to seek justice from the Chen Family.
If the news was true, then Lu Yu had killed Chen Rui first … This was already in the wrong. No matter what the reason was, the Chen Family already had something on them.
Then, Chen Zhong killed Lu Yu …
This could be said to be revenge for his younger brother, Chen Rui. It was also pardonable …
Of course, a good-for-nothing second generation like Chen Rui was not qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as Lu Yu. The two were not on the same level at all.
In terms of losses on both sides, the Lu Family's losses were far greater than the Chen Family's …
One was a dispensable second generation, while the other was the future hope of the Lu Family. With such a pair, the Lu Family's losses could not be greater.
"Forget about that. Gather the men and follow me to Wood Celestial Island!
I want to seek justice from that old turtle Chen Aoxiang … My son can't die in vain! "
After a brief consideration, Lu Qingfeng still gave the order. The Lu Family had suffered too much, and he could not pretend that nothing had happened.
Even if the Lu Family was in the wrong, his son's death would definitely be louder than the Chen Family's!
At this moment …
"Patriarch, patriarch, this is bad, this is bad …"
A servant of the Lu Clan also rushed in anxiously from outside. He looked a little flustered and in a hurry, as if something big had happened.
When he saw the corpse on the ground, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Patriarch, this is bad. The Chen Family … is here!"
"What?"
Lu Qingfeng, who was already aggressive, was wondering what had made the servant so flustered. He did not expect the Chen Family to take the initiative to attack them.
"Chen Family, Chen Aoxiang … You've gone too far!"
This caused Lu Qingfeng to go completely berserk. The aura of a middle-stage Martial Emperor was also released in a completely berserk manner.
"Gather all the experts of the Lu Family who are half-step Martial Emperors and above. I want to annihilate the entire Chen Family!"
Lu Qingfeng, who had just experienced the pain of losing his son, could not endure such humiliation. He immediately gave the order without hesitation. He was really going to start a massacre.
As he gave the order to gather the men, Lu Qingfeng raised his sword and rushed out …
"Lu Qingfeng old man, return my son's life …"
Before he walked out of the door, he heard Chen Aoxiang's voice. This old man was obviously here to seek justice for his son's death.
However, the Chen Family left in a hurry. After Chen Aoxiang received the news, he immediately led the men from Wood Celestial Island to Fire Celestial Island.
Wood from the east, Fire from the south …
Wood Celestial Island was on the move, and Fire Celestial Island was in the south. They were two neighboring islands, so naturally, they were very close to each other. Therefore, the Chen Family only knew that Chen Rui was killed by Lu Yu, but they did not know that Lu Yu was suspected to have been killed by Chen Zhong.
Of course, there was a more important reason …
The news of Chen Rui's death was brought back by Chen Zhong. In fact, Chen Zhong did not have the time to chase after Lu Yu, let alone the strength to do so …
However, they just happened to not know about this news and directly poked at Lu Qingfeng's wound. The consequences could be imagined.
