Chapter 27: Truly Looking Forward to the Day Lu Ren Is Betrayed by His Clansmen

No one expected that when facing three Supreme Saints, especially when one of them was at the Supreme Saint Fifth Stage, Lu Ren could still be so arrogant.

Among them, an old man wearing simple robes with green bamboo winding around his cuffs saw that not only did Lu Ren not reply humbly, but he was also acting arrogantly, and his face immediately darkened.

"You arrogant brat, do you think that just because you are a Supreme Saint, you can roam the world as you please?"

"Today, this old man will teach you what it means to have people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens!"

As his words fell, his figure had already vanished from where he stood.

Lu Ren let out a mocking sneer; not only did he not move, but he raised his hand unhurriedly.

"Overestimating your own strength."

He spread his five fingers and swung his palm down; the old man's face was instantly caught in his hand, looking as if the old man had crashed into it himself.

But only the old man himself knew clearly that this was not the case.

He had intended to use a punch to shatter the heart meridians of this brat who didn't know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth, but he didn't expect that no matter how he dodged, he couldn't escape Lu Ren's spread fingers; not only did he crash straight into them, but he was also gripped tightly!

"You! How dare you insult this old man!"

He was furious, jumped away using a technique to deflect a thousand pounds with four ounces, his slanted eyes filled with shame and anger.

"Wait..." The person beside him secretly thought 'not good' the moment he saw him make a move.

This Lu Family Family Head was most skilled at killing those of higher ranks.

There was simply no one on the Hundred-Year Ranking who was his match.

Ming Cheng, this old fellow, had been complacent for too long; his 724th place on the Thousand-Year Ranking had made him proud for ages, but he never considered that Lu Ren hadn't even reached a hundred years of age, so naturally, he couldn't be on the Thousand-Year Ranking! Being so reckless, he was bound to suffer! But before he could dissuade him, Ming Cheng, feeling he had suffered a great humiliation, couldn't wait any longer; he swung his hands, drew out double axes, and roared as he slashed toward Lu Ren's head! But he had been sailing too smoothly for too long, forgetting the saying that there are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens.

The giant axes cleaved through empty air; the spot where Lu Ren had originally been was empty. No one saw where his figure had flashed to, only a thick shadow cast down, accompanied by heavy, ragged breathing.

"Qiong... Qi..."

The youth who had first spoken wished he were invisible; his face was pale and stiff, his eyes bulging out like a ridiculous goldfish.

But he was roaring in his heart.

Qiong Qi!

It was Lu Ren's contracted beast! Why! Wasn't it said that the Qiong Qi was only in the Growth Stage? When exactly did it enter the Adult Stage!!! An Adult Stage Fierce Beast—the Tianxuan Continent is in danger!

Ming Cheng stiffly raised his neck; the feeling of imminent death was right above his head.

The silver-glinting fangs opened mercilessly above his head, instantly swallowing him whole into its belly!

The other two Supreme Saints were furious and let out a roar.

"Lu Ren, have your Qiong Qi release Ming Cheng!"

"Although he is arrogant, his crimes do not warrant death!"

The two glared at Lu Ren, who was standing on top of the Qiong Qi, their gazes gloomy.

Another spoke grimly: "Lu Ren, Ming Cheng is an elder of the Qingyun Sect. You killing him like this is unjustifiable. Don't forget from whom you obtained your quota!"

Before Lu Ren could speak, the Qiong Qi had already opened its massive mouth and hissed with laughter, the sound exploding like thunder in everyone's ears.

Its savage and brutal aura rampaged, carrying an extremely powerful pressure that forced the others to keep their heads bowed, as it laughed heartily.

"Old things, I was the one who ate him; why ask my master?"

"Supreme Saints are indeed different; even digesting one will take me a year or so. Let him rot in my belly!"

Mei Yulong's expression changed drastically, and he said resentfully: "Eating a Supreme Saint? You are just a Qiong Qi that has newly entered the Adult Stage; aren't you afraid your abdominal space will be pierced through!"

The Qiong Qi turned a deaf ear, sneering with disdain: "If I eat you two old things as well, my belly might actually be hurt by you, but do you really think I'm stupid?"

It shrank its body, its form appearing even more ferocious, and landed on top of Lu Daocheng's head, looking around with a sinister gaze, its malice obvious.

Mei Yulong felt it becoming increasingly troublesome; having just Lu Ren was already enough to cause a headache, but he hadn't expected that at a critical moment, this Qiong Qi would actually wake up! A miscalculation!

"Let's go!"

He turned and left, his teeth grinding with a creaking sound, his fists clenched tightly as he departed.

The others dared not disobey. The Qiong Qi flapped its wings and said obsequiously: "Master, it has been many years, and your elegance is even more heart-stirring. Once I finish digesting this old thing, I will offer his possessions to you, Master!"

It had indeed been many years.

The Qiong Qi was still the same old sycophant.

Lu Ren was speechless, shook his head, and decided to ignore it.

When they reached the entrance of the Inheritance Land, Mo Tianming was indeed still tied up there; his mouth, nose, and eyes were stained with blood, and he had fainted on the ground.

Just now, during the clash of auras and the Qiong Qi's savage declaration of its return, Lu Daoshuang and the other were protected by Lu Ren, but Mo Tianming had been unlucky.

The moment the aura erupted, he had been knocked unconscious, bleeding from his seven orifices.

Fortunately, he was the Child of Luck; his life was tough enough that he wouldn't die.

Lu Daocheng walked over in a few steps, took the rope back into his hand, and without mercy, slapped the man awake with two loud smacks, dragging him up under Mo Tianming's hateful gaze.

"Family Head, we can go!"

This brat really was a talent for acting as a lackey.

Lu Ren glanced at him, a hint of a smile flashing in his heart, and took out the Compass, heading in one direction.

Although the inheritance in the Secret Realm had been obtained, it wasn't just the mere inheritance that could be taken.

Lu Daocheng followed, and after taking two steps, he felt that the weight in his hand was wrong.

He looked down, his mouth twitching, and silently put away the ring that had inexplicably hung onto the chain and ended up in his hand.

Another one.

I wonder if he hands them all over after they get out, can he exchange it for a personal teaching session from the Family Head?...

In the grass not far away, a fire fox wagged its large tail, squinting its eyes and covering its mouth to giggle.

Those eyes were a mechanical silver-white, not like those of a living creature.

It moved lightly and carefully, packing up other rings, earrings, and the like from beside its body, and ran wildly in the direction of Lu Ren and the others.

As a wisp of soul separated from the Heavenly Dao, its only task was to pull back this Child of Luck, Lu Daocheng.

It looks like success is near~ I truly look forward to the day Lu Ren is betrayed by his clansmen.

……

At some unknown moment, a fiery red mist began to permeate the air, and lakes of all sizes appeared all around Lu Ren, as if he had arrived at a body of water.

The Compass spun round and round, immersed in a sea of fiery red.

"Is this Yanfen Chixin Hu?"

Lu Ren raised an eyebrow and put away the rapidly spinning Compass.

It seems the fortuitous encounter he wants should be right here, though he does not know if it is the one he wants most.

He certainly did not expect the Compass to bring him here.

Since it is a place that already has a name, it has naturally been swept through many times by others.

Although he had never set foot in the Luoyun Mijing, Lu Ren's intelligence-gathering ability had always been decent, and at this moment, he became interested in this lake that had been swept through many times.

Hidden so deeply, it had better be something good.

When Mo Tianming heard the words Yanfen Chixin Hu, his breath hitched.

The next moment, he hated it so much he nearly bit his teeth to pieces.

This should have been his fortuitous encounter! Although his golden finger had lost contact, he still remembered some information! Damn it, he cannot let someone else get there first!

Mo Tianming's eyeballs began to roll around…
