Chapter 1935: Settling Karma

Whoosh—

The massive silver immortal vessel streaked across the void, leaving behind a trail of disturbed spatial aura.

He Pingsheng stood at the bow, shocked beyond measure.

Too fast!

Same sixth-grade flying boat, but Yu Si's vessel was far faster than the one in Xin Baobao's hands.

Of course, that was because Xin Baobao's flying boat hadn't been fully refined, and its controller's cultivation wasn't sufficient either.

"At this speed, how long to reach the Scorpio Divine Continent?" He Pingsheng asked Yu Si.

Yu Si said: "Half a day at most!"

Holy shit…

Half a day!

Back in the day, a trip there took me how many years?

This thing is even faster than those massive immortal vessels that fly between cities.

…

Scorpio King City!

The Lu Clan!

Right in the center of the royal city, the Lu Clan possessed a massive manor.

The manor spanned a thousand zhang in breadth, and at a position offset to one side before the Lu Clan manor stood a black grand hall.

At this very moment, the grand hall's doors were open, and on the threshold sat a woman dressed in purple.

This woman was not the Lu Clan's Ancestor, but a Lu Clan elder, at the God Monarch realm.

This person was named Lu Qianyun; she was Lu Huinan's aunt, and also the biological younger sister of Lu Shigu, who had been killed by He Pingsheng.

"Confirmed it's He Pingsheng?" Lu Qianyun's gaze was sharp, fixed on the disciple below the steps.

Below the steps stood six or seven people.

"Confirmed!" a female disciple said: "At the time, this disciple was by Shen Yu's side; He Pingsheng and his senior brother joined forces and slew two God Spirit realm experts in total!"

"Elder… that's God Spirit realm!"

"He slapped one to death with a single palm!"

"The last God Spirit realm fled in terror!"

If Wang Dun and He Pingsheng were here, they would definitely understand what she was talking about!

She was referring to the incident back in the Tian Gu Ruins, where the Han Clan ambushed Wang Dun, then sneak-attacked him, and in the end Wang Dun and He Pingsheng each counter-killed one.

This matter happened to be witnessed by the Lu Clan disciples present at the time.

"Oh?" Lu Qianyun drew a deep breath: "Meaning, Huinan and the others being slain was also He Pingsheng's doing?"

"This… this… this disciple does not know!" The female disciple shook her head: "This disciple did not enter the God Spirit side, so I am unclear on what happened there!"

Lu Huinan had a life token left in the clan, so the Lu Clan knew the moment she perished.

But who exactly slew Lu Huinan — the Lu Clan had no way to confirm.

"Hah…" Lu Qianyun exhaled deeply, saying: "I understand… so it was this little bastard, who knows what method he used to kill this Palace's brother back then!"

"Damn him, damn him…"

"We thought he was long dead… turns out he isn't!"

"Damn it!"

Just as she spoke to this point, Lu Qianyun saw a clan disciple come running in great haste.

"Elder… Elder… the Ancestor summons you…" that disciple said urgently: "Please, Elder, hurry to the Ancestor's grand hall!"

"The Ancestor?" Lu Qianyun frowned: The Ancestor isn't in seclusion?

What does he want with me?

But the Ancestor's summons, she could not hesitate in the slightest.

"Yes… I'll go at once!"

Lu Qianyun arrived in a fluster at the doors of the clan's largest grand hall.

This grand hall was open.

She bowed respectfully at the entrance, head lowered, and said: "Disciple Lu Qianyun requests audience with the Ancestor!"

"Mm…" The Lu Clan Ancestor hummed, saying: "Qianyun has come… enter!"

Lu Qianyun entered the grand hall with trepidation, her gaze sweeping across the interior.

She saw the Ancestor.

The Ancestor was not seated upon that massive lotus dais, but sat behind a small table below it.

Opposite the Ancestor sat two people, one man and one woman, neither of whom Lu Qianyun recognized.

Naturally, Lu Qianyun had never met He Pingsheng, but she had certainly seen his portrait; the reason she did not recognize him now was because He Pingsheng was still in the three-day disguise phase.

"Greetings, Ancestor… Ancestor… these are…" Lu Qianyun was somewhat bewildered!

The Ancestor is receiving guests, why summon me?

"Qianyun!" The Lu Clan Ancestor's expression was calm, devoid of joy or sorrow; he asked unhurriedly: "During this seclusion of mine these many years, I have not kept up with recent clan affairs!"

"But upon emerging, I hear that your branch has run into some trouble!"

"Is that so?"

Lu Qianyun dropped to her knees with a thud, saying: "Ancestor have mercy… wuu wuu wuu…"

"My brother Lu Shigu was killed by someone!"

"Huinan was also killed in the Tian Gu Ruins!"

"Our branch... is finished!"

"Please, Ancestor, uphold justice for us!"

"Hmm!" The Ancestor nodded. "Speak. What exactly happened? Tell it in detail!"

"I don't want any deception, and you needn't add excessive personal feelings!"

"Everything, based on facts!"

"Yes!" Lu Qian Yun naturally dared not defy the Ancestor, and recounted everything she knew, item by item.

"I understand..." the Lu Family Ancestor said. "Meaning... Lu Shigu's daughter made the first move against He Pingsheng, and after gaining no advantage, she summoned Lu Shigu over!"

"A dignified God Monarch realm bullying a God Control realm, and ended up perishing herself!"

"Is that right, or not?"

"Yes!" Lu Qian Yun's body trembled twice. "Please, Ancestor, uphold justice!"

The Lu Family Ancestor asked: "What do you want done?"

Lu Qian Yun said: "I want He Pingsheng torn to pieces, never to reincarnate for all eternity. I beg the Ancestor to find his clan's location; your disciple will go and exterminate their entire household!"

"Good!" The Lu Family Ancestor pointed at He Pingsheng. "This is He Pingsheng... the man himself has come to your door demanding an explanation!"

"What?" Lu Qian Yun looked at He Pingsheng. "You are He Pingsheng?"

"You... you... you're not?"

A faint light shifted on He Pingsheng's face, and he resumed his true appearance. "Now... do you recognize me?"

"He Pingsheng... you deserve to die..." Lu Qian Yun was about to strike.

But her hand had just risen when it was frozen in the void by some power of rules.

"Senior..." The Lu Family Ancestor cupped his fists toward Yu Si. "This is Lu Hui Nan's aunt... however you wish to handle it, our Lu Family has no objection!"

"As long as the Young Master is satisfied!"

He Pingsheng said indifferently: "How to handle it is your Lu Family's matter... I came today mainly to settle the karma between our two families!"

"And the rights and wrongs of it, you should already be very clear on by now!"

"Correct!" The Lu Family Ancestor said. "This matter, it is indeed our Lu Family disciples who were arrogant and domineering, at fault first!"

"Then let's do this!"

"Lu Qian Yun, this seat will execute..."

"Additionally, the Young Master may go to our Lu Family treasury and take three items!"

"Wonder if settling the karma between our two families like this is acceptable?"

He Pingsheng nodded. "Acceptable..."

"Good..." The Lu Family Ancestor, seeing He Pingsheng agree, was instantly overjoyed.

He flicked his sleeve lightly, and Lu Qian Yun, frozen in place, was blasted away by a tremendous force, then slammed heavily onto the ground, directly exploding into death.
