Chapter 60: Lu Family Abandoned Son

As soon as Nie Xing finished speaking, the black-robed old man immediately rushed out with a gloomy face, a withered hand grabbing toward Lu Fan's shoulder.

Lu Fan had just insulted the two masters Zhao and Zu, saying they were "half-baked" Rune Masters. Many people were very unhappy, and if it weren't for the occasion, they would have taken action themselves. Now that Nie Xing's side took action, it was exactly what they wanted.

A Peak Martial King, even if he didn't use much strength, was not something a Tendon Refining Realm youth could resist. Everyone around wore a sinister smile, all thinking so.

However, Lu Fan was nonchalant, grabbing a white jade wine pot held by a maid on the side, "gurgle gurgle," and actually started drinking.

"Courting death!" Master Zuo was furious. Lu Fan looked down on him so much, he couldn't endure it. The strength in his hand suddenly increased, and the momentum surged, like a net of heaven and earth, wanting to completely shroud Lu Fan.

Lu Fan put down the wine pot, his pupils shrank, and suddenly opened his mouth, spraying a mist of wine, shrouding Master Zuo who was right in front of him.

Then a seal technique was pinched out, and flames shot out from the Art Refining Crystal Furnace hidden in his sleeve, "Explode!", the mist of wine instantly turned into a sea of fire.

"Ah!"

Master Zuo screamed, instantly retreating. He had attacked a youth, not using much strength, his body defense not open, but his clothes were burned to a charred mess. Now he was gray-faced, smoke rising from his body, extremely embarrassed.

Lu Fan smiled lightly and said indifferently: "How is it, is the fine wine of our Mingyue Empire good!"

Everyone around was already stunned, not understanding the situation at all, only thinking they had seen wrong. But Lu Fan's teasing expression, the mocking words, and the embarrassment of the Peak Martial King were clear, right in front of them, the gap was huge, shaking their souls.

"Little beast, you are courting death!" Master Zuo was ashamed and angry, never thinking he would suffer a loss in front of a youth, his mentality lost, and he didn't care about anything, his momentum erupted, and his original hidden cultivation was completely exposed.

The momentum of a Martial Venerable permeated the whole scene, covering all directions, and the cultivation of a Qi Refining Realm Martial Venerable was completely exposed. Everyone changed color, involuntarily showing submission to him.

Once the aura of a Martial Venerable was released, it suppressed the entire scene. Except for Yu Chi Zhengrong, who relied on the murderous and evil aura from years of battlefield slaughter to maintain a normal expression, everyone else turned pale simultaneously.

"Not good! Zu the skinning, this is a Martial Venerable expert, let's attack together!"

Zhao Zhenchuan's face changed, he roared, and together with Zu Qingtian, leaped out, spiritual power erupted, condensing into one. Then a silver compass was thrown out, pushing the spiritual power, and resisting toward Master Zuo.

"What do the two masters mean?" Master Zuo's face froze, somewhat confused. Lu Fan clearly also insulted the two masters Zhao and Zu, why were they standing up for Lu Fan again?

The silver compass carried the spiritual power, and he didn't dare to be careless. The means of Rune Masters were mysterious, and although the two were only Fourth-Tier, they were comparable to Fifth-Tier Rune Kings when combined. Even if he was a Sixth-Tier Rune Venerable, he didn't dare to say he would win.

And Zhao and Zu's Rune Dao was profound, and the Nie family still wanted to recruit them in the future, so he couldn't offend them even more.

"Bang!"

He swung a palm steadily, hitting the sharp edge of the spiritual power, then flew back and landed beside Nie Xing. But the dignity of the unfathomable expert was gone, and he was just like a beggar on the street, as embarrassed as he could be.

Nie Xing was furious, staring at Lu Fan, wishing he could swallow him alive.

Everyone else saw the two guild leaders Zhao and Zu take action, and they were also very confused. At this time, Imperial Guard Commander Wu Qingzhong spoke.

"Where did this wild kid come from, actually daring to be disrespectful to the two masters, get down on your knees and kowtow quickly, maybe the two masters are merciful and will spare your life!"

Everyone heard this, and they were slightly stunned, then nodded, looking like they suddenly realized. Rune Masters were always temperamental, I'm afraid these two wanted to teach Lu Fan a lesson themselves, not wanting others to do it for them.

Lu Fan smiled, indifferently pointing at the two masters Zhao and Zu in front of him, very casually, looking like he was ignoring and contemptuous in the eyes of others, and everyone was furious.

Nie Xing's eyes lit up, thinking: Lu Fan, you are courting death! It just so happens I want to recruit these two, this time I'll use you to open the knife, to express my heart!

"Bold Lu Fan, you dare to insult Master Zhao and Master Zu, you are truly arrogant to the limit, let's see how you die today!"

He said viciously, feeling very happy in his heart. He had suffered a loss in Lu Fan's hands yesterday, and even Lord Wei Kuangdao couldn't do anything about him. This time, borrowing a knife to kill, and winning the favor of the two masters Zhao and Zu, it was truly killing two birds with one stone, very happy.

Everyone looked at the two masters Zhao and Zu, expecting them to teach this ignorant kid a lesson. Lu Fan also looked over with a strange smile. The two masters Zhao and Zu changed color, immediately stepped back, seemingly wanting to draw a line with everyone, and said tremblingly to Lu Fan:

"Young Master Lu, the matter here has nothing to do with us. This Nie Xing is arrogant and ignorant, has eyes but doesn't see the pearl, you must not believe them!"

The guild leaders of the Rune Master Guild, who were usually high above, were respectful to a youth, looking very aggrieved, which made everyone drop their jaws. Wu Qingzhong was confused, cold sweat flowing, realizing he seemed to have made a big mistake.

Everyone was stunned, not understanding the situation at all. Before, Lu Fan inexplicably blocked a Martial Venerable expert's strike, and even made the other party gray-faced. This time, it was the two Fourth-Tier Great Rune Masters' uncharacteristic performance, making everyone confused.

"Teach a lesson?" The two masters Zhao and Zu frowned, staring at the black-robed old man, looking unkind, and snorted in unison: "If you dare to be disrespectful to Young Master Lu again, even if we lose our old lives, we will leave you behind today!"

In an instant, killing intent permeated the surroundings. When a martial cultivator is angry, blood splashes ten steps. When a Rune Master is angry, flames burn the city. This doesn't mean Rune Masters are stronger than martial cultivators, but Rune Masters use rune seals and arrays to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, having mysterious and unpredictable power.

Master Zuo's face turned completely cold. The hostility of the two masters Zhao and Zu was clear. It seemed this wasn't a problem of temperamental personality. I'm afraid there were some hidden circumstances he didn't know.

Nie Xing's face was also ugly. At this moment, he remembered Lu Fan's knowledge of rune seals and arrays. With a little association, he immediately showed a realization. It was said that Lu Fan was a junior of these two, so they would protect him like this at this time.

"Okay! I know your intentions. This Qi Refining Realm Rune Venerable is not something you two can deal with, step back!"

Lu Fan waved his hand indifferently, and Zhao and Zu stood aside obediently like little disciples, standing respectfully behind Lu Fan.

Xiao Bugui was confused, intuition told him he had just made a mistake, and whispered to ask Xiao Ling'er about Lu Fan's background. But Xiao Ling'er pouted her small mouth, angry and didn't answer at all.

Yuchi Zhengrong walked up, doubts in his eyes, but his words were smiling: "This Young Master Lu is very strange! I wonder where he is from?"

He spoke, glancing at Zhao Zhenchuan and Zu Qingtian. He guessed Lu Fan was their disciple, but he had seen all their disciples, and there was no such person as Lu Fan.

"Mingyue Empire, Imperial Capital person. Deputy General Yuchi, why don't you even recognize me?"

Lu Fan grinned, the other party was clearly trying to probe his background, but the background of this body of his was completely unimportant.

"Deputy General Yuchi?" Yuchi Zhengrong's face changed. He had been promoted to the Three Armies Commander of the Mingyue Empire years ago. As for the so-called Deputy General, that was something from decades ago. In the entire Shenfeng Empire, only one person would call him that.

"Are you..." He stared at Lu Fan's face in disbelief, vaguely seeing a shadow.

"Lu Shanhu is my old man, who I am, you should know!"

As soon as Lu Fan finished speaking, Yuchi Zhengrong's face was horrified, looking surprised, and said urgently: "Has Old Brother Shanhu come out of seclusion? Three years ago he suddenly went into seclusion, I went to the Lu family many times, but didn't get any news!"

Lu Fan's face sank slightly. How would he know the strangeness of the Lu family. As for Lu Shanhu, there were only some residual thoughts, seemingly some warmth, so he remembered it deeply.

"What? He is the descendant of that old guy Lu Shanhu!" Xiao Bugui was surprised, then suspicious: "That's not right! The two sons of the Lu family eldest had left home years ago, and they should be at least twenty years old! And the only son of the second, Lu Ran, we have all seen, he doesn't look like this!"

His face was strange, then he thought of something, incredulously: "Wait, are you the martial arts waste Lu Fan?"

As soon as this was said, everyone around realized, staring at Lu Fan incredulously. Lu Fan had been in Tianyuan Academy for three years, and although there were some changes, he could still be recognized.

But how could this be? The other party was clearly a waste, and it was said that the Lu family had long abandoned him, letting him be in the academy, living and dying on his own.

"Not bad! He is my Lu family's abandoned son, the waste Lu Fan!"

Just then, a cold shout rang out, and a youth walked out, it was Lu Ran. Behind him followed Li Qingshan, also with a gloomy face.

Everyone saw Lu Ran say this, but they weren't surprised. Within a big family, the struggle and confrontation among the young generation were very fierce, and such words weren't strange.

Lu Fan saw Lu Ran, his eyes cold, and the residual thoughts of the past surged in his mind, actually feeling a trace of hatred toward Lu Ran for no reason.

Lu Ran seemed to feel Lu Fan's unkind gaze, smiled viciously, pointed at Lu Fan and said coldly: "Lu Fan, you colluded with the Skull Society, practiced evil magic, and have fallen into an irreversible place. Today I will clean up the door on behalf of the Lu family elders." ===== CHAPTER 61 =====

But how could this be possible? The other party was clearly a piece of trash. It was said that the Lu Family had long since abandoned him, leaving him to fend for himself at the academy.

"That's right! He is the cast-off son of my Lu Family, the trash Lu Fan!"

Just then, a cold shout rang out, and a young man walked out—it was Lu Ran. Following behind him was Li Qingshan, who also wore a gloomy expression.

Seeing Lu Ran speak this way, the crowd was not surprised. Within large families, the struggles and clashes among the younger generation were very intense; such words from the other party were not considered strange.

Seeing Lu Ran, Lu Fan's gaze turned cold. The lingering obsessions of the past churned in his mind, and he felt a trace of hatred for Lu Ran for no reason.

Lu Ran seemed to sense Lu Fan's unkind gaze. He gave a sinister smile, pointed at Lu Fan, and said coldly: "Lu Fan, you colluded with the Skull Society and practiced evil demonic arts; you have already fallen into a place of no return. Today, I shall act on behalf of the Lu Family elders to purge the house."
