896. Chapter 894: Of Great Importance

「In that case, Zhao Junde's misfortune is very likely related to Jiang Rou! 」

Lu Yuan's face sank slightly as he nodded and spoke.

Lu Tianzong's deep eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment he sighed, saying: "Such matters, you'd better not get involved in for now."

"Father, who exactly did this?" Lu Yong asked, his face full of indignation.

"This person's background is extremely terrifying; even I, as father, dare not provoke them!" Lu Tianzong shook his head and sighed, his expression complex.

"Father, what exactly is that person's identity?"

"Why so exaggerated?"

Lu Wenlong and Lu Yong both changed expression slightly, looking shocked.

"You two, never inquire about his any information, for you simply cannot afford to provoke him!" Lu Tianzong's face stern as he warned.

"Understood!"

"We know our limits!"

Lu Wenlong and Lu Yong quickly agreed.

Lu Tianzong waved his hand and said: "You may go out first."

"Yes!"

Lu Yuan nodded, stepped out of the secret room, and Lu Wenlong and Lu Yong closely followed.

After leaving the secret room, Lu Yuan did not leave the Lu Family estate but stood outside the door, waiting patiently.

"I invited you here mainly to explain an important matter."

Lu Wenlong's expression turned slightly solemn.

"Hmm? Brother Lu Yuan, what exactly is the matter that has you acting so mysterious?" Lu Yong's eyebrows twitched, eager to know.

Lu Wenlong's brows relaxed, and he said in a low voice: "This morning, I received an invitation letter."

"An invitation letter?" Lu Yong froze.

"An invitation letter? What is that?"

Lu Wenlong shook his head and said: "I also saw this in a fragment of an ancient text."

"Supposedly, this invitation was issued by a certain important figure, and its content states that our Lu clan should send juniors to participate in the 'Cangyun Sect' selection tournament."

"Cangyun Sect!" Lu Yong exclaimed in shock upon hearing it.

"Cangyun Sect is the foremost major martial power in Canglanguo; it is said its foundations are extraordinary, making it one of the three greatest martial holy lands of the Canglanguo Dynasty."

"Although Cangyun Sect is only one of the three superpowers of the Canglanguo Dynasty, it holds a grand martial convention every few hundred years."

"At that time, it will attract outstanding youths from all over the country; the martial artists participating in the convention are all outstanding young talents from various forces of the Canglanguo Dynasty, even including the royal heirs of the Canglanguo royal family."

Lu Wenlong's eyebrows danced with excitement as he spoke.

"Cangyun Sect!"

Upon hearing Lu Wenlong's account, Lu Yong's eyes twitched wildly, utterly shocked!

Although the Lu Family is the governor's office of Canglanguo Prefecture, they are ultimately just a third-rate clan.

Even a superpower like Cangyun Sect is rare, with only a handful existing throughout Canglanguo Prefecture.

Lu Tianzong's body shuddered violently, his mind churning with tumultuous waves! "Cangyun Sect holds a martial convention every five years, at which the outstanding youths of the Canglanguo Dynasty will gather here to compete for the opportunity to cultivate in Cangyun Sect."

"The disciples of the Canglang Sect are all astonishingly talented and immensely strong; once we join Cangyun Sect, the Lu Family's future achievements will surely rise like water raising a boat."

Lu Wenlong's eyes gleamed with excitement, his expression extremely exalted.

The name of Cangyun Sect, in his mouth, seemed like a panacea, making it hard to refuse.

Moreover, Lu Wenlong had witnessed the strength of Cangyun Sect disciples during his training and firmly believed it. "Really!" Lu Yong exclaimed, clenching his fists fiercely, his eyes blazing with fervent light! If he could successfully join Cangyun Sect, not only would this small, remote county of Canglanguo be nothing, even the entire Canglanguo Dynasty, he would dare to stride sideways.

"Moreover, we can also leverage Cangyun Sect's prestige to boost the Lu Family's reputation!" Lu Wenlong smiled arrogantly, full of confidence.

"Cangyun Sect's prestige? Hah!" Upon hearing their description, Lu Tianzong couldn't help but shake his head and sneer.

"Dad, what do you mean by...?" Lu Yong frowned, his face full of bewilderment.

Lu Wenlong also wore a puzzled expression.

"Although Cangyun Sect is strong, you shouldn't pin too much hope on it." Lu Tianzong slowly shook his head, speaking with a complex expression.

Lu Yuan also nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Although Cangyun Sect is mighty, this time the invitation we received is not from their main sect's martial experts."

"Oh! Since it's not their main sect's martial experts, what's the difference then?" Lu Yong raised an eyebrow, asking doubtfully.

"The difference is certainly huge!" Lu Wenlong snorted coldly and said solemnly: "If it were their main sect's martial experts, do you think our Lu Family still has a chance?"

Lu Wenlong shook his head and sneered, wearing a look of contempt.

Lu Yong's face stiffened, then he retorted: "Although that's true, if we could forge ties with Cangyun Sect, it would be a great opportunity for our Lu Family!"

"The opportunity is certain, but the prerequisite is——you must produce enough valuable chips!"

Lu Tianzong shook his head and rebuked coldly, his tone still icy and merciless.

"Uh... this..." Lu Yong furrowed his brow deeply, his face rather embarrassed.

Lu Wenlong frowned, wanting to speak but holding back.

He also felt that Lu Tianzong made perfect sense, yet he always felt something was off.

After a moment, Lu Yong finally understood.

"Hahaha! Second brother, what you said is also correct; although we are merely representing Cangyun Sect in this selection,"

"but if we can demonstrate sufficient talent, we might even catch the eye of Cangyun Sect's senior leadership and gain some extraordinary fortune."

"This... cough, after all, the rise of our Lu Family still depends on us few."

Lu Wenlong let out a light sigh, shaking his head with a wry smile.

The scale of this martial convention is likely to be extremely grand.

Although the Lu Family is only a third-rate family attached to a remote county under the Vast Wave Dynasty, after all it can be considered a martial arts family within the Vast Wave Dynasty, so Lu Tianzong's worries are not baseless.

"Wen Long, Yong'er, I know you're eager, but in everything do not be too hasty!"

Lu Tianzong's eyes flashed with sharp light as he pondered, saying: "The Martial Arts Grand Convention is still some time away; you should cultivate in peace, strive to have confidence in your hearts, so you won't be overly panicked when it arrives."

"Yes!"

"Father's teachings are correct!"

Lu Wenlong and Lu Yong nodded respectfully.

Lu Yong's eyes flashed with sharp light: "Second Brother, we will definitely work hard in our cultivation; when the Martial Arts Grand Convention opens, just watch our performance!"

"I'm looking forward to it!" Lu Wenlong let out a heavy sigh.

For them, the Martial Arts Grand Convention of the Vast Cloud Sect is simply a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.

If things go well, it could even change the Lu Family's fate, allowing the Lu Family to completely break free from the shackles of being a third-rate family and become a true martial arts family within the Vast Wave Dynasty!

Faced with such conditions, who could resist? Lu Yong took a deep breath, suppressed his inner agitation, turned and left the room.

Lu Wenlong followed closely and also left the room.

In the spacious hall, only Lu Tianzong remained once again, sinking into a prolonged daze……(End of chapter)
