Chapter 24: The Lu family's fear!

Yanjing, Lu family.

This ancient and powerful family was currently immersed in a tense atmosphere. All the Lu family members were showing panic; they had no idea what had happened, why the family was suddenly surrounded by a group of mysterious powerhouses of unknown origin.

Even Lu Batian, who was the strongest combat power in the Lu family and was already a Six-Star Peak Dragon Spirit Master, couldn't do anything to the opponent and was fiercely suppressed by powerful Dragon Spirits, unable to move a single bit.

The realm of this group of mysterious powerhouses was only Five-Star or Six-Star Dragon Spirit Masters, but their combat power was so terrifyingly strong, and their tacit cooperation was even more terrifying than usual...

Before today, the Lu family members could never have imagined that as a famous Yanjing family, already ranked at the top of the four major families on the surface, they would be so vulnerable.

The current patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Lingxuan, who was also Chen Junlin's father, stood in the courtyard with a gloomy face, looking at the powerful Dragon Spirits with shocking momentum, a trace of imperceptible worry flashing in his eyes.

"Lingxuan, this... what exactly is going on!?"

"I just tried to help and called my father, but I couldn't get through at all."

A middle-aged woman with a well-maintained appearance and figure, protecting a green-looking teenager in her teens, asked in a low voice with a face full of worry.

Lu Lingxuan didn't answer her, just stared tightly at the bald man in front of him. Just now, it was this guy, only forty years old, who had seriously injured the Lu family's ancestor who had reached the Six-Star Peak with a single move.

Ten years ago, he, Lu Lingxuan, used the Dragon Spirit of that stupid bitch to successfully advance his original s-grade Dragon Spirit to an ss-grade Dragon Spirit—Explosive Golden Light Dragon. Not long ago, he even stepped into the Six-Star Dragon Spirit Master realm, already belonging to the elite among his peers, and he didn't care about the talents in the Special Department at all.

But—

But at this moment, in front of this bald man, he didn't even have the courage to summon his Dragon Spirit to fight him.

"Special Department!"

"It must be the people from the Special Department who have such extraordinary strength beyond Dragon Spirit Masters of the same realm!"

Lu Lingxuan's thoughts flew fast, and in an instant, he associated many possibilities, including revenge from his competitors, suppression by hostile forces...

After all...

Although the Lu family was now known as the head of the "Yanjing Four Major Families" on the surface, in reality, the ancient families and founding elders hidden in Yanjing, etc., who were not on the surface, were the ones who truly had the right to speak.

He had judged all kinds of opponents and possibilities.

But in the end, through the words of the middle-aged woman just now, he found that almost only the "Special Department" could take action against the Lu family, which was the "Yanjing Four Major Families" on the surface.

Because—

The middle-aged woman was his current wife, "Shen Huanhuan," whose maternal family background was very deep. She was an ancient family that had been passed down for a long time—the Long family. It is said that during the apocalypse disaster a thousand years ago, it was the Shen family ancestor "Shen Wanqian" who stabilized the rear resource needs with great financial support, which could be counted as a merit, so even those founding elders had to give them three points of face.

Back then, it was precisely to curry favor with the Shen family so that the "Lu family" could grow rapidly that he didn't hesitate to bear the infamy of being "heartless" and was ridiculed by countless people in Yanjing behind his back, just to be a scumbag who abandoned his wife and son.

And the events of the past ten years have also proven how "wise" his choice was back then, and now—

Even the Shen family couldn't be contacted.

This meant that his idea of hoping for the "Shen family" to come forward and save the Lu family was almost impossible.

"I, the Lu family, have done some tricks behind the scenes, but this is something almost all big families do, and it's not enough to provoke the Special Department to take action, and even the Shen family can't come forward to help."

"So..."

"This must be because of the bastard born to that bitch!"

"That bastard made such a big commotion, wiped out the Alien Universe, and it's equivalent to the fact that the entire Tianlan Star can't do anything to him now. It's perfectly normal for the top brass of the Special Department to want to take the Lu family to show favor to him..."

Thinking of this, a cold light couldn't help but flash in Lu Lingxuan's eyes, and his hands couldn't help but tighten a few times.

In fact, ever since he knew that Chen Junlin, who had successfully completed the universe plane advancement for Tianlan Star, was the bastard he had abandoned back then, he had been panicked and uneasy, and had summoned the Lu family's top brass to discuss countermeasures.

It's just that he didn't expect that before they could discuss a strategy, the entire Lu family would be completely suppressed and controlled by this group of mysterious experts from the Special Department.

Everything happened too suddenly, too fast!

He couldn't react at all.

"If I had known!"

"I shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then, but should have acted quietly to kill this bastard!"

"Otherwise, how could it have come to this point."

Lu Lingxuan was full of regret, but he didn't regret abandoning his wife and son back then, but regretted not being able to cut the weeds and dig up the roots, leaving behind today's disaster.

Because no matter what, he couldn't imagine that a lowly bastard, something he thought was not even as good as a beggar, had just awakened his Dragon Spirit and could turn over to become the number one person on Tianlan Star...

Even those myths and legends wouldn't dare to be this outrageous, right?

"Lingxuan, speak up!"

"I'm so panicked right now."

"These people, are they with that bastard... um..."

Shen Huanhuan bit her chin, her pretty face somewhat pale, and she said tremblingly, but before she could finish speaking, she was directly covered by Lu Lingxuan's hand.

At the same time, Lu Lingxuan cursed inwardly, this stupid woman is really stupid to the extreme, actually daring to talk about Chen Junlin in front of so many people, if you want to die, don't drag me along. Boom—

It was at this time that a powerful pressure aura suddenly descended.

Everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky, only to see a figure slowly descending, that aura making people unable to breathe.

The person who came was Chen Junlin! His eyes were cold, and wherever his gaze fell, all the Lu family members present were trembling, full of fear and despair.

It's him!

It's actually him!

The bastard abandoned by Lu Lingxuan back then! This is clearly coming to find them, the Lu family, to avenge the hatred of that year! "Mr. Chen, you're here?"

The bald man, the Ninth Team Leader of the Dragon Group, saw Chen Junlin appear and didn't dare to have any airs at all, hurriedly ran up and bowed respectfully.

However—

Chen Junlin didn't have the heart to pay attention to him at all, his eyes fixed tightly on Lu Lingxuan and the Shen Huanhuan mother and son beside him.

"Why?"

"Scared?!"

Chen Junlin's gaze was like electricity, his tone indifferent, full of sarcasm, saying: "Lu Lingxuan, do you think covering her mouth can cover up your ugly sins?"

Lu Lingxuan's heart trembled violently, feeling Chen Junlin's powerful aura, he actually felt a sense of nowhere to hide.

Die! As long as the other party makes a move, he will surely die!

This was Lu Lingxuan's only thought.

He endured the fear and despair in his heart, barely squeezed out a smile: "Junlin, I was sorry for you and your mother back then, but blood is thicker than water after all, you and I are father and son in the end, ah..."

"Ah—"

"My hand—"

"Pfft—"

Before Lu Lingxuan could finish speaking, blood like a pillar sprayed out from his right hand that was covering Shen Huanhuan's mouth.

In an instant, blood surged, drawing a miserable arc in the air like a fountain, splashing directly onto the faces of Shen Huanhuan and her son.

That hot touch felt like a branding iron, as if leaving a burning pain on their skin.

"Ah—"

"Blood!!!"

Shen Huanhuan screamed, subconsciously wiping the blood off her face with her hand, but the blood was like a naughty child, scurrying on her face, and she couldn't wipe it clean no matter what.

Lu Lingxuan's left hand covered his blood-dripping right arm, the pain of the severed arm making his whole face almost distorted, but he endured it without letting out a painful roar.

"Father and son? Are you worthy?"

Chen Junlin gave a disdainful cold laugh.

"Junlin, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, please let us go... I was sorry for you, and even more sorry for Chen Yao..."

"I'll kowtow to you, okay..."

Shen Huanhuan finally couldn't help but speak, her eyes full of pleading and fear, no longer having the arrogant posture she had at the "funeral" of Chen Junlin's mother back then.

"Shut up!"

Chen Junlin shouted coldly.

"I don't need your apology, and I won't accept it!"

"I came here today just to settle the old scores between us!"

Chen Junlin's voice was like thunder from the nine heavens, making everyone present tremble with fear.

Suddenly.

Chen Junlin raised his thick eyebrows and looked at the "younger brother" who was so scared he peed himself, and a ferocious smile couldn't help but rise at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe..."

"Lu Lingxuan, didn't you keep saying that father-son love is deep and blood is thicker than water?"

"Then now, I'll give you a chance, only one of you can live!"

"You, how do you choose?"
