Chapter 424: Do not wait for the late update

Do not wait for the late update.

The sun set in the west, and the afterglow filled the sky.

Outside Wind Fire City, on Green Cloud Peak, there was a stone table. Beside the table were stone stools, and a pair of young man and woman were leaning against each other.

The young man had a slender build, his complexion was slightly pale, and his face was delicate.

The young woman wore a snow-white long dress; her skin was like jade, and her appearance was stunningly beautiful.

The young woman rested her head on the young man's shoulder. Under the illumination of the sunset, they looked just like a pair of celestial lovers.

"Yao'er, I really hope we can be like this for a lifetime!" The young man's face was full of happy smiles as he said softly.

"Brother Ming, of course we can. We promised to be together for a lifetime."

A happy smile appeared on the young woman's face.

The young man was named Lu Ming, and the young woman was named Lu Yao.

Looking at the smile on Lu Yao's face, Lu Ming's eyes became even more tender. He held Lu Yao's soft, boneless jade hand and said, "Yao'er, although my meridians are blocked and I cannot condense Qi, as long as I can awaken my bloodline, the Elder Council will purchase spiritual medicine to clear my meridians for me, and then I will be able to cultivate."

"I will definitely become a martial arts expert and protect you for a lifetime."

"Thank you, Brother Ming."

A look of being moved appeared in Lu Yao's eyes, and she added, "Brother Ming, has a bloodline tester really tested whether you inherited your father's bloodline?"

"That's right, Yao'er, so in the future, your man will definitely be a strong person." A confident smile appeared on Lu Ming's face.

Lu Yao smiled slightly and picked up the wine cup on the stone table. In the cup was the famous Blood Tongue Orchid Wine, which emitted a faint fragrance.

Lu Yao kissed Lu Ming on the face like lightning. Her face flushed red, and she raised the wine cup and said, "Brother Ming, come, Yao'er rewards you."

Lu Ming took the wine cup and said, "Yao'er, you treat me to a cup of Blood Tongue Orchid Wine every day. I am truly grateful to have you by my side."

After speaking, he picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

As the fragrance of the wine lingered on the tip of his tongue, Lu Ming's heart felt as sweet as the wine's fragrance, but the next moment, he felt the world spinning.

"Yao'er, why do I feel a bit dizzy? This wine of yours..."

Lu Ming supported himself on the stone table and looked at Lu Yao, but at this moment, he noticed that Lu Yao's expression was a bit cold.

"Hahaha, Lu Ming, Yao'er has been with you for three years, nothing more than to nourish your bloodline. Now the time has come, why don't you contribute your bloodline?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared from the side; it was Lu Yao's father.

Boom—!

It was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Lu Ming's mind.

"Yao'er!"

Lu Ming looked at Lu Yao in disbelief, but Lu Yao's eyes were full of indifference.

"Why? I loved you so much!"

Lu Yao's cold gaze was like sharp knives stabbing into Lu Ming's heart. He let out a roar and lunged at Lu Yao.

But Lu Yao just stepped back slightly, and he fell to the ground.

"Duanmu Lin of the Profound Origin Sword Sect, started cultivating at six, opened two divine meridians in half a year, stepped into the Martial Warrior Realm, stepped into the Martial Master Realm at nine, and is now sixteen, one of the four geniuses of the Profound Origin Sword Sect. And you? Sickly, meridians blocked. To put it bluntly, you are just trash. Even if you awakened your bloodline, you would still be trash. Can you compare to Duanmu Lin?"

"Such a genius is the only suitable match for me, Lu Yao. To marry him, one must awaken a powerful bloodline. Since you love me so much, why not fulfill me? Use your bloodline to help me awaken a more powerful bloodline."

A cold voice came from Lu Yao's mouth.

Thump!

At this moment, the middle-aged man stepped on Lu Ming's back, a sharp knife appeared in his hand, and he shouted: "Lu Ming, offer up your bloodline!"

Ah!

At his spine, heart-piercing pain instantly engulfed Lu Ming. Lu Ming roared, his voice full of loneliness, helplessness, and despair.

Gradually, Lu Ming fell into boundless darkness.

"Lu Yao, Lu Yunxiong, why did you steal my bloodline!"

Lu Ming let out a roar and sat up abruptly from the bed, causing the nanmu wood bed to creak.

Lu Ming was covered in cold sweat, his face pale. At first, he thought he had a nightmare, but he soon realized that this was not a dream, but a fact that had already happened.

The situation from a few days ago surfaced in his mind again.

Lu Ming, the descendant of the main branch of the Lu family in Wind Fire City, his father was the head of the Lu family. And Lu Yao was the daughter of the Great Elder of the first branch of the Lu family.

The two were of the same clan but different branches, grew up together since childhood, were childhood sweethearts, and could be said to be inseparable. In private, they had even made vows of eternal love and promised themselves to each other.

Lu Ming could never have imagined that Lu Yao would join the Great Elder in attacking him to steal his bloodline.

"Strength, everything is because my strength is insufficient. If my talent were extraordinary and my strength powerful, how would they dare to treat me like this?"

Lu Ming clenched his fists, his whole body trembling, his eyes full of bloodshot veins.

Trash!

This was what Lu Yao called him. Lu Yao's words from three days ago seemed to still be echoing in his ears.

Creak!

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a frail middle-aged woman walked in. Looking at Lu Ming on the bed, she asked with concern: "Ming'er, did you have a nightmare again?"

This beautiful woman was Lu Ming's mother, Li Ping.

Three days ago, it was Li Ping who was worried about Lu Ming's safety and went out to look for him, which saved Lu Ming; otherwise, Lu Ming would have already died.

Ever since news spread six years ago that Lu Ming's father had been killed while traveling outside, he and Li Ping had depended on each other for survival.

Lu Ming looked at Li Ping, his eyes becoming soft, and said: "Mother, it's nothing, just a dream."

Looking at Lu Ming's pale face, Li Ping sat by Lu Ming's bed, touched Lu Ming's forehead, and said with a pained heart: "It's been three days, and every time you scream that Lu Yao harmed you. Ming'er, what exactly is going on? Could it be that your injury is because of Lu Yao..."

Lu Ming said: "Mother, it's nothing, you heard wrong."

Lu Ming did not tell Li Ping that it was Lu Yao and the Great Elder who did it, because Li Ping did not cultivate martial arts, and telling Li Ping would only harm her.

Li Ping hesitated for a moment and said: "Ming'er, in the future, you cannot call Lu Yao by her name in front of others. Two days ago, Lu Yao awakened a level-five bloodline and also opened a divine meridian. Now she has gained the recognition of the Elder Council. At the clan meeting two months from now, she will take charge of the Lu family and become the head of the Lu family. Calling the head of the family by her name will likely be considered disrespectful."

"What? Lu Yao is going to take charge of the Lu family? She can forget about it."

Lu Ming let out a low roar, his eyes bloodshot, his teeth clenching so hard they rattled, and he almost bit his teeth to pieces, with blood even flowing out.

After Lu Ming's father was rumored to have been killed six years ago, for these past six years, the Lu family had been managed by the Elder Council, and no new head of the family had been appointed.

Seeing Lu Ming like this, Li Ping was scared out of her wits, only hugging Lu Ming's head, tears streaming down, and said: "Ming'er, don't scare Mother. Mother has already lost your father, I cannot lose you too."

"Father... where are you exactly? Ming'er believes you won't die. Now, Ming'er is powerless, and I can't even keep the position of the head of the family."

Lu Ming tightly gripped a pendant on his neck. Because he used too much force, his nails pierced into his flesh, and blood kept seeping out.

This pendant, cast in bronze and the size of a broad bean, was sent back by someone from outside before Lu Ming's father had his accident. For these six years, Lu Ming had always carried it with him.

The blood from his palm seeped out and flowed onto the bronze pendant.

Hum!

Suddenly, the bronze pendant trembled slightly and became scalding hot.

Before Lu Ming could react, the bronze pendant shook and actually turned into specks of powder, drilled into Lu Ming's palm, and disappeared.

Then, Lu Ming felt a stream of scalding energy from his palm, following his arm, all the way up, and after a while, it stayed in the Yin Tang acupoint between his eyebrows.

"Nine Dragons Undying, Bloodline Reborn!"

Suddenly, a huge roar sounded in Lu Ming's mind, making Lu Ming's mind buzz.

"Nine Dragons Undying, Bloodline Reborn!"

"Nine Dragons Undying, Bloodline Reborn!"

Continuous roars kept sounding in Lu Ming's mind, and then, a scorching aura started from between his eyebrows and surged toward Lu Ming's spine.

The next moment, the roar disappeared, but a burst of numbness and itchiness came from his spine, and his whole body became scalding hot.

"What's going on?"

Lu Ming was completely confused.

At this moment, the numbness and itchiness on his spine became more intense, as if something was slowly growing.

"Ming'er, what's wrong with you, don't scare Mother."

Feeling the abnormality in Lu Ming's body, Li Ping was even more afraid and somewhat at a loss.

"Bloodline reborn? Can I really be bloodline reborn?" Lu Ming wondered in his heart.

Ancient books record that only a very small number of people, after their bloodline is stripped or damaged for other reasons, can have their bloodline reborn and grow a new bloodline.

But most reborn bloodlines are of very low grade and of no great use.

But there are also a very, very small number of people who can break and then stand, break the cocoon and be reborn, rise from destruction, transcend the past, and awaken a supreme bloodline.

But this probability is so small that it can be ignored. Ancient books record that there have not been many such cases since ancient times.

Transcending the past and awakening a supreme bloodline, Lu Ming did not think about it; the probability was too small after all. He would be very happy as long as he could awaken a bloodline.

With a bloodline, he could cultivate martial arts and change his destiny.

At this time, the abnormality on his body slowly disappeared, and a smile appeared on Lu Ming's face as he said: "Mother, I'm fine!"

"Young Master, it's great that you're fine. You scared us to death these past few days!"

At this time, a young girl walked over and said.

The young girl was about the same age as Lu Ming and was extremely beautiful.

Lu Ming naturally recognized her; the girl was named Qiuyue, and she was Li Ping's personal maid, having grown up with him since childhood.

"Qiuyue, I'm fine, don't worry!"

Lu Ming smiled.

Then, Lu Ming swept his gaze around, his expression changed abruptly, and he said: "Mother, where is this? This is not the Lu family main mansion!"

Lu Ming's father used to be the head of the Lu family, and they had always lived in the Lu family main mansion, but this was not it.

"Ming'er, you should rest well and don't overthink it!" Li Ping said, but the fleeting sadness and tears in her eyes were still captured by Lu Ming.

"Mother, what exactly is going on?" Lu Ming asked.

"Young Master, let me say it. We were driven out. Lu Yao said she was about to become the head of the family and should move into the main mansion, and we were not qualified to continue living in the main mansion, so she made us move out."

Beside them, Qiuyue gritted her silver teeth and said it out, her pretty little face full of anger.

"What? Lu Yao, you bully people too much!" Lu Ming roared.

"You trash, what are you yelling about? Having a place for you to live is already a favor to you, why aren't you grateful?"

Just at this moment, a voice sounded outside the door, and then the door was opened, and a young man walked out.

"Lu Chuan, it's you!"

Lu Ming shouted angrily. This person was named Lu Chuan, Lu Yao's own brother, and he was a little older than Lu Ming.

"Lu Chuan, we have already left the main mansion, what are you still doing here?"

Li Ping said, her body subconsciously blocking in front of Lu Ming, seemingly afraid that Lu Chuan would harm Lu Ming.

"I'm here to take the sword!"

After speaking, Lu Chuan's eyes swept around. When he saw a precious sword by the bedside, his eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over and reached out to grab the precious sword in his hand.

"Lu Chuan, this sword is the only token left by Ming'er's father, to be left for Ming'er to use in the future. You cannot take it away."

Li Ping hurriedly reached out to grab it.

"Get lost!"

Lu Chuan used force, the scabbard shook, and a burst of power erupted. Li Ping was not a cultivator, so how could she resist? Her body stumbled backward, almost falling to the ground.

"Mother!" Lu Ming roared.
