884. Chapter 882: Renowned

But this news still left him feeling very depressed.

"Senior, you overpraise me!"

"I'm just stating a fact; you don't need to be modest!"

The white-robed old man slowly shook his head, his face full of sneering contempt, clearly looking down on Lu Yuan.

"If that's the case, then junior dares to ask: how exactly did my father die?"

Lu Yuan suppressed a surge of anger in his chest, pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and asked.

A flash of sharp light appeared in the white-robed old man's eyes, and a fierce hatred surfaced in his gaze!

"Hmph! Back then, your father in Cangjingcheng was a figure of great renown; whoever dared to provoke him hardly ever survived, and even I have heard legends of your father!"

"Oh?" Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and sharp light flared in his gaze.

He never imagined that his father in Cangjingcheng possessed such formidable deterrence, to the point that even the white-robed old man had heard of it.

"I just don't know who dared to move my father!" Lu Yuan took a deep breath and urgently asked.

The white-robed old man slowly shook his head, cold light bursting from his eyes! "I'm not entirely sure who harmed your father, but it's said that the act was carried out by His Majesty the Cang Emperor, and that's why your father died a wrongful death."

"Cang Emperor!"

Hiss! Hiss! Lu Yuan's face suddenly stiffened, and two extremely complex lights flashed in his eyes.

He had thought it was the third or sixth prince who did it, but he never expected the ultimate instigator to be that Cang Emperor who held power over the court!

"Hehe, I was just speaking offhand; don't let your imagination run wild!"

Seeing Lu Yuan's thoughts, the white-robed old man shook his head and sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"Hehe, Senior, you've misunderstood!"

Lu Yuan gave an embarrassed smile, suppressed his surprise, and silently sighed.

Although he still had many doubts and confusions in his heart, since the white-robed old man had made his position clear, he naturally no longer dwelled on it.

"Senior, since we've met by chance, I'll see you off!"

Lu Yuan clasped his hands in a salute, then urged the other party to leave.

However, the white-robed old man shook his head and refused.

"Hehe, little friend, no need for politeness; since we've met, it's fate—may I accompany you and lend you a hand?"

"Huh?" Lu Yuan's face froze, and he immediately hesitated.

"Hahaha! What, are you afraid I'll drag you down? Don't worry, although I only have half a body left, I still have some self-defense ability." The white-robed old man shook his head laughing, wearing a playful smile.

"This... cough! Senior, you're joking!" Lu Yuan felt a wave of embarrassment at those words, his heart growing more bitter.

In such a situation, if the other party isn't afraid, what can he do? "Alright, then thank you for your help, Senior!"

"Hehe, young man, judging by your appearance you likely have some talent; if you're willing, I suggest you become my disciple—I can take you on and guide you onto the martial path."

The white-robed old man gave a proud smile and said lightly.

Lu Yuan's eyes twitched wildly, his face suddenly sinking! "Sorry! Junior has lofty ambitions and does not wish to live under others' roof."

"Hehe, you have spirit—I like it!"

The white-robed old man laughed loudly, then without further ado grabbed Lu Yuan and rushed into the depths of the cave.

Boom boom boom! As the two just entered the depths of the cave, several rays of spiritual light rose from the mountain peak, followed immediately by a thunderous roar.

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing the abnormality, Lu Yuan and the white-robed old man turned their heads in unison and looked toward the sound.

"Huh? It's them!" Seeing the arrivals, Lu Yuan's eyebrows twitched, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Do you know them?" The white-robed old man narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the five men and two women opposite; three of the young people were exactly those they had just encountered on the road.

Two of the azure-robed martial artists were peak-level experts.

The remaining red-dressed beautiful maiden and blue-robed youth also possessed only weak strength.

"Not just knowing them—I'm practically intimately familiar!"

A flash of ruthless killing intent appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes, while the corner of his mouth curled into a strange, cold smile.

"Hehe, it seems you have quite a grudge with them; then let me see what abilities they possess to have driven you back this far!"

The white-robed old man shook his head and sighed long, his gaze gradually turning icy.

Swish! Swish! Swish! In the blink of an eye, four people swooped down and landed opposite Lu Yuan, surrounding the two in the middle.

"Hmph! Brat, I advise you not to do foolish things; otherwise I won't mind acting on heaven's behalf to eliminate harm and uphold the righteous path!"

The azure-robed youth shouted threats in a gloomy tone.

"Hahaha!"

"What a joke! There's no outsider here—where does this 'eliminate harm' come from?"

"I'll tell you, if you're sensible, get lost now—we're only here to seek revenge on him today, and it has nothing to do with you!"

The purple-robed youth beside them shouted coldly.

"Cut the nonsense—who exactly are you, and why are you chasing to kill me?"

Lu Yuan's face turned ashen, and he shouted in a deep, stern voice.

He simply couldn't understand why they pursued him relentlessly, intent on putting him to death. "Hmph! Who we are is none of your business; as for why we're chasing you, that's even simpler!"

The red-dressed maiden shook her head and sneered, her face full of mockery.

"Are you Lu Yuan?"

The other two azure-robed disciples had grim faces, frowning and shouting coldly.

They had long heard that this Lu Family genius possessed heaven-defying cultivation talent, even surpassing many monstrous talents from sect clans.

So while accepting the mission, they were also secretly on guard.

After all, talents like them often possess combat power beyond the ordinary.

"Is it you?"

Lu Yuan frowned, his thoughts racing, then his expression changed abruptly as he jerked his head up to look at the blue-robed youth.

"So it's you!"

The blue-robed youth gave a cold smile: "Surname Lu, I'm Lu Yunlong, you stole my fiancée, right?"

Lu Yuan's face sank instantly, killing intent flashing in his eyes: "Hmph! Even if she really married you, do you think you're worthy of her?"

"You……" Lu Yunlong heard this and flew into a rage, gritting his teeth and roaring.

"Surname Lu, I'll settle this with you. Right now, get on your knees and beg for mercy, knock out all your teeth, and I might consider letting you keep a dog's life!"

Lu Yuan gave a cold chuckle: "Heh! I, Lu, never bow to threats. Since you're obstinate, let me see what tricks the illustrious Azure Cloud State imperial bloodline really has!"

【71> Boom— Lu Yuan took a step, and his bloodline spiritual power surged wildly within him.

Boom—boom—boom! Lu Yuan took a step, and the blood and spiritual power inside his body surged wildly.

"Hmph! Indeed, a genius rarely seen in a hundred years of the Lu clan— not bad, not bad!"

Lu Yunlong drew a deep breath, azure spiritual light flowing around him, exuding a domineering aura! The three blue-robed disciples beside him were no less formidable.

"Hiss!" Feeling the formidable strength of the four opposite him, Lu Yuan's mind shook, and he couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

Yet he felt no fear; instead, fierce battle intent blazed in his eyes, his whole body seeming to turn into a ferocious beast.

"Come on! Let me see just what the Azure Cloud State imperial bloodline is capable of!" (End of chapter)
