Chapter 13: Only with Lu Ren is there a Lu Family!

Could even a thousand-year-old Secret Realm not stir Lu Ren's heart?

The several Saint Realm experts waiting to be rescued were first astonished, then relieved.

It was no wonder, after all, this was Lu Ren.

On Qingchengzi's aged face, a trace of suppressed displeasure appeared.

"What else does the Lu Family Head want?"

Lu Ren laughed and clapped his hands lightly, "Easy, I want the spots for your Qingyun Sect's ten-thousand-year Secret Realm."

He reached out his hand.

"Three."

"Impossible!"

Qingchengzi roared, his hair standing on end due to his extreme agitation, his eagle eyes staring heavily at Lu Ren as he gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Family Head, do not bully others too much!"

"Bully you too much?" Lu Ren sneered, "And what if I do bully you?"

"You all attacked my Wanren City without rhyme or reason; even if I killed you all, who could do anything to me?"

Qingchengzi's surging aura withered in an instant.

He had to admit that Lu Ren was right.

Even if he killed everyone here, he would offend all the forces behind them.

Just as he said, so what?

This is the Lu Family; why is it the Lu Family? It is because there is a Lu Ren that there is a Lu Family! As long as Lu Ren is still alive, there could be thousands of Lu Families emerging in this world! Furthermore, Qingchengzi, who had been lurking in Wanren City for a long time, naturally knew best how fanatical the Lu Family members were about Lu Ren.

Someone like Yu Ruowei was a complete exception.

His aura withered and his tone weakened, but he still gritted his teeth, unwilling to give in.

"I don't know how you found out about the existence of that Secret Realm, but I don't have three spots in my hand; I can give you one at most."

"None?" Lu Ren shook his head, "That is not necessarily true."

He pointed lightly at the anxious young man behind Qingchengzi and said with a smile, "I find this person looks somewhat familiar; he bears a three or four-part resemblance to your Qingyun Sect's Sect Master."

"Tell me, is that so?"

In this instant, Qingchengzi was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

The aura around his body fluctuated unsteadily.

But after staring at Lu Ren intensely for a long time, he laughed out of extreme anger.

"Fine, fine, fine, what a Lu Ren, worthy of being the Lu Family Head."

"Three spots, our Qingyun Sect will give them."

No matter what, the Sect Master's only bloodline must not be severed.

How could Lu Ren's words just now be a case of "looking familiar"? It was clearly a threat.

If he were unwilling to provide the spots, the Qingyun Sect Young Master would die here today!

If Qingchengzi didn't have enough spots in his hand, couldn't the Qingyun Sect Master have them? "Now, can the Lu Family Head finally let us leave?" Qingchengzi held his breath, intending that if Lu Ren still didn't know what was good for him, he would fight to the death today no matter what.

Lu Ren knew when to stop and didn't necessarily force Qingchengzi to the extreme.

But just as he waved his hand to let Qingchengzi leave, his hand turned toward the others.

"You may go, but these people cannot be taken away."

One of the Saint Realm experts, having no hope of luck, hurriedly said, "No, no, Lu Family Head, I am willing to pay money to buy my life!"

"Give me a chance!"

With him taking the lead, the others naturally followed suit.

It was only losing some wealth.

Could it be more precious than their own lives?

Qingchengzi's belly full of fire had nowhere to vent; he could only grin hideously as he pulled his juniors along, his calm and leisurely demeanor having vanished.

"What a Lu Family Head, this old man has seen it today, farewell!"

Not only did he lose two spots for the Secret Realm, but he also failed to rescue these Saint Realm experts and didn't gain their favors. This could no longer be described as a huge loss.

Qingchengzi originally intended to fly away on his sword, but Lu Ren's words from just moments ago suddenly echoed in his mind.

No flying allowed in Wanren City! He had to hold his breath again and walk away with heavy steps!

After he left, Lu Ren did not personally handle the compensation matters for these powerhouses, handing them directly to the family elders to deal with.

He had just broken through his cultivation barrier and was in a rush to deal with those who dared to cause trouble at the Lu Family; his aura had not even stabilized.

But that was not the most important thing.

Upon returning to his room, Lu Ren let out a heavy breath.

Dealing with these matters for many days, he was indeed somewhat overwhelmed.

Calming his heart, Lu Ren looked at the system.

【Host successfully snatched the Secret Realm opportunity of the Child of Luck Qin Yuan, Qin Yuan's Qi Luck Value -150,000】

【Qin Yuan's Qi Luck Value: 460,000】

【Congratulations to the Host for successfully stripping away one-third of the Child of Luck's Qi Luck; the Child of Luck's Destiny Line has been unlocked】

There was actually something new.

Lu Ren curiously checked it, and the expression on his face changed instantly.

He had always had an extraordinary temperament and rarely showed changes in his expression, but now, Lu Ren only felt a severe nausea in his stomach!

He understood what the Destiny Line was!

It was the plot that would have originally happened to Qin Yuan.

According to the original plot, he would be furious, yet unable to bear truly hurting Yu Ruowei, and would let Qin Yuan escape.

He stripped away Yu Ruowei's Immortal Bone to reshape his master's body, and in the end, he even had to say: "She is Lu Ren's daughter, and Lu Ren and I have a feud over my master's death; Heaven is blind, forcing us to be a pair of star-crossed lovers."

As he spoke, he mercilessly extracted the blood-soaked Immortal Bone.

Later, he even gained the favor of Qingchengzi, became friends with that young man, went in and out of various Secret Realms, fought monsters and leveled up all the way, crushed Lu Daoran—a genius who had been famous for a long time—and finally attacked the Lu Family to fight a decisive battle against the final boss, Lu Ren.

He even made use of Yu Ruowei's corpse as waste, launching a sneak attack on Lu Ren...

It was a chaotic mess, and Lu Ren only glanced at it twice before tearing the thing to shreds.

He spat out his evaluation with disgust: "Absurd!"

A piece of trash like Qin Yuan wouldn't be able to catch up to his cultivation even if given eight hundred years.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren's eyes darkened slightly.

"It is something in the Secret Realm that changed his talent."

He spoke with absolute certainty.

Otherwise, plundering one or two Secret Realms resulting in the direct loss of 150,000 Qi Luck Value for Qin Yuan would be too exaggerated.

There must be an extraordinary treasure in the Secret Realm.

Originally not caring much about these two Secret Realms, at this moment, Lu Ren had a few thoughts in his mind.

And while he was pondering, the voice of Lu Daoran requesting an audience came from outside the door.

After Lu Daoran entered, he bowed slightly and said softly: "Family Head, almost everyone in the beggar den where Yu Ruowei was staying has been killed by Qin Yuan; only one youth still has a breath left."

"I sent him to the medical hall, but he insists on seeing you."

Being a citizen of Wanren City, Lu Ren kept everything in his sight; naturally, he knew that there was indeed a beggar who had temporarily taken in Yu Ruowei, not letting her leave and not letting her die, with everything following his plan.

Hearing that the beggar insisted on seeing him, Lu Ren nodded indifferently, rose to leave the Lu Family, and headed toward the medical hall.

However.

The moment he stepped into the medical hall and saw the youth on the sickbed—whose life was barely being sustained and who was struggling to lift his head to look in his direction—something Lu Ren had never expected happened.
