Chapter 53: Good for you, Lu Tianyu!

The Ancestor had risked his own life for his sake, yet he had concealed the truth about his dantian being sealed.

The only way forward now was for him to accelerate his cultivation, bring the Five Dragon Divine Fist to completion, and then break the seal on his dantian so as not to worry the Ancestor.

Haa!

Lu Tianyu took a deep breath and replied to Changmei Laozu: "Grandfather, please do not go looking for Gui Sheng Xie Yi yet; my dantian is showing signs of recovery, and I have regained a sense of Qi."

"I expect the recovery of my dantian is only a matter of time."

He put away the communication bead.

Lu Tianyu sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Fire Dragon Fist technique from the Five Dragon Divine Fist.

Woo woo woo!

A fire-red funnel formed above his head, spinning rapidly.

Dense fire-attributed Spiritual Energy was swept in, entering Lu Tianyu's Middle Dantian.

Lu Tianyu's entire body turned fire-red, his clothes instantly turned to ash, and even his hair took on a fire-red color.

Hum hum hum!

The Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Tripod hovered above his head, shooting out rays of hazy gray light that enveloped Lu Tianyu, and then his figure vanished from sight.

Time acceleration activated!

The Xuanqing Sect's main assembly hall.

Sect Master Luo Qianqiu, dressed in a dark cyan robe, sat in the main seat and asked: "Elder Ma, was the negotiation successful this time?"

He was referring to Ma Dachuan's negotiation with the Bahuang Clan.

He observed that Ma Dachuan's expression was not very good, and surmised that the negotiation must have failed.

However, that did not matter; he could find others to go and apply pressure to the Bahuang Clan, and the Bahuang Clan would eventually yield.

"Sect Master, it is my incompetence!"

Elder Ma knelt on one knee, his expression flustered: "I did not see the Bahuang Ancestor; on the way, I encountered a member of the Bahuang Clan disguised as Ma Wudi, and I pursued them the whole way."

"On the way, I encountered Ming Cangjiu, a commander of the Kulu Zong."

"The target Ming Cangjiu was tracking was the same as mine; he said that a member of the Bahuang Clan had disguised themselves as a member of the Xuanqing Sect and snuck out."

He concealed the fact that he had not recognized them at first: "I pursued them to Huangyan Star and discovered... discovered that Ming Cangjiu had already become a headless corpse, killed by someone from the Bahuang Clan."

The image of Ming Cangjiu's bloody corpse surfaced in Ma Dachuan's mind again, and he could not help but shudder.

"What did you say?"

Luo Qianqiu was also slightly shocked: "Ming Cangjiu of the Kulu Zong was killed? He is an Out-of-Body Stage cultivator."

"Wait, didn't you pursue them together with him?"

"Who was the person who killed him?"

From Ma Dachuan's stammering words, he sensed something unusual.

Ma Dachuan kept his head lowered: "In order to catch the person before I could, he went ahead and arrived thirty breaths before me."

"When I arrived, Ming Cangjiu's head was already gone."

"You know that Bahuang Clan member; he, he is..."

He knew that this Sect Master cared about his reputation, and he wondered if Luo Qianqiu would fly into a rage on the spot once he mentioned Lu Tianyu.

The point was that Lu Tianyu was also Luo Qianqiu's grandson, and he had even uttered threats against Luo Qianqiu; the words were too excessive.

Before leaving, he had confidently assured Luo Qianqiu that the negotiation would definitely succeed.

As a result, he had returned in a crushing defeat, and he worried that Luo Qianqiu would punish him severely.

Slap!

Luo Qianqiu slammed the table and stood up: "Stammering and stuttering, you can't even speak clearly; it would be a miracle if a negotiation by someone like you succeeded!"

"Speak quickly, who is it!"

A sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart, and he was eager to know the answer.

Ma Dachuan gritted his teeth and said: "He, he is your grandson, Lu Tianyu!"

"He was carrying Ming Cangjiu's corpse and even said words threatening you!"

Luo Qianqiu was shocked: "What?"

"Lu Tianyu killed Ming Cangjiu? That is simply impossible!"

"Ma Dachuan, you are too stupid; you can't even make up a lie!"

He had heard of the feats Lu Tianyu achieved after coming out of the Forbidden Abyss, where he suppressed the younger generation.

However, he did not find that surprising.

To be able to survive the Forbidden Abyss, a death trap, one must have obtained a great opportunity.

But to say that Lu Tianyu killed the Out-of-Body Stage Ming Cangjiu was simply impossible.

The gap in cultivation realms could not be bridged by talent alone.

"It's not! I suspect that Changmei Laozu was nearby; he must have killed Ming Cangjiu."

Ma Dachuan simply relayed the words Lu Tianyu had told him: "He also said, tell me to return to the Xuanqing Sect quickly and relay to the Sect Master that he will soon come to pay a visit!"

"If the Sect Master makes things difficult for his mother, he will make the entire Xuanqing Sect restless!"

As expected.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianqiu was furious and raised his hand to smash the table with a palm strike: "How dare you, Lu Tianyu, you actually dare to threaten your grandf... the Sect Master of the Xuanqing Sect!"

"If she doesn't listen, what's wrong with me making things difficult for her!"

To prevent his daughter Luo Yunshang from sneaking away, he had directly ordered her to be placed under house arrest and had sent experts to guard her day and night.

Although Lu Tianyu was his grandson in name, he had not been to the Bahuang Clan since his daughter married, and he had never acknowledged this grandson.

Even when Luo Yunshang brought Lu Tianyu to visit, he had pretended not to see them and ignored them.

Now that Bahuang faces the danger of extinction, Lu Tianyu actually dares to threaten him, the Sect Master of the Xuanqing Sect; this is arrogant and barbaric to the extreme.

The gap in status and position is too vast; does this brat not understand respect, inferiority, and shame?

At this moment, Luo Qianqiu deeply regretted not having been stricter with his daughter in the past.

He regretted not forcibly breaking them up back then; he should have stopped them even if his daughter was pregnant!

Whoosh!

Luo Qianqiu took a deep breath: "Did you see Ancestor Changmei?"

Ma Dachuan answered truthfully: "I did not see him, nor did I dare to investigate, for fear of disturbing him and inciting his intent to kill me."

"Sect Master, should we send experts to Huangyan Star to investigate?"

Luo Qianqiu snorted coldly: "Even if Ancestor Changmei is there, would he wait for us to arrive?"

He waved his hand impatiently: "You may go."

"Confined for one hundred days, and your salary suspended for one year!"

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Ma Dachuan saluted and retreated.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the punishment was not heavy.

It was just that he hated Lu Tianyu to the core, and swore that if he caught an opportunity, he would definitely eliminate Lu Tianyu.

Luo Qianqiu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Lu Tianyu, what kind of secrets do you have on you!"

He turned slowly and said to the empty space: "Where is the Commander of the Xuan Yi Guard?"

Swish!

A flash of green light.

A middle-aged man in green tight-fitting clothes appeared: "Please give your orders, Sect Master!"

Luo Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "Take your men to track down Lu Tianyu's whereabouts and report to me!"

"Start searching from Huangyan Star!"

"If you encounter Ancestor Changmei, reveal your identities and say that Luo Qianqiu has sent you to bring Lu Tianyu to the Xuanqing Sect for protection."

The Xuan Yi Guard were his personal troops; they could conceal their aura to investigate enemy movements, or launch sneak attacks on enemies.

Lu Tianyu came out of the Forbidden Abyss, so he must have a great secret on him, a secret that he also wanted to know.

After the time it takes for one incense stick to burn, Luo Qianqiu appeared inside a secluded pavilion.

He spoke indifferently to Luo Yunshang: "I will tell you one piece of good news and one piece of bad news; which one would you like to hear?"

"A reminder: both are about your precious son!"
