Chapter 89: Chapter 86: Outrageous Provocation_1
Shen Yinuo rolled her eyes at Lu Yan and said, "I’m not sure how exactly I will repay you. But definitely, I’ll return your favor for saving my life. As for the agreement of cooking martial food for a year, we should still continue that. There are still about eight months left, and I remember it very well."
Since Shen Yinuo had said so, Lu Yan naturally agreed with a nod.
Then, he straightened his broken ribs, utilized his muscles to keep the ribs in place, and circulated his Qi-blood to nourish and heal his injuries.
He was confident that after a few days, his injuries would fully recover.
"What are your plans afterward?"
Shen Yinuo asked.
"To leave."
"Where to?"
"Baicao City."
Initially, he planned to go to Qingyang City. With Zhou Zhengkong as a contact, he can gradually widen his network, and perhaps even aim for the top-notch Martial Arts of the Zhou Clan.
But now he was forced to change his plans.
He had seen the true face of the Ancestor of Liu Family. This was a disastrous calamity that could result in his clan’s extinction. The Ancestor of Liu Family would never let him go. He would surely hunt him down fanatically after this.
Without killing Lu Yan, the Ancestor of the Liu Family would be uneasy.
Qingyang City was too close to Changfeng City. It was about 180 kilometers apart, which was practically under Changfeng City’s watch, making it too dangerous.
Therefore, Lu Yan changed his plans to Baicao City at the last moment.
While Baicao City was not too far from Changfeng City either, the Li Family was a Master Level Feudal Lord with multiple Inner Strength Masters stationed there. The Ancestor of Liu Family, who was on the path of Martial Spirit, would dare not personally go to Baicao City.
Even if he sent other Martial Marquis, they would need to be extra cautious. Baicao City was much safer than Qingyang City.
Moreover, Lu Yan also planned to set up a strategy. By then, the safety factor would definitely increase enormously.
...
At the Green Bamboo Gang headquarters, after meeting with Wang Lin, Lu Qingshan, and others, Lu Yan let them rest in the side hall.
In the conference hall, Lu Yan took the top seat, with Wang Lin and Zhang Jun standing on either side, and thirteen figures standing below.
These thirteen people were the main elites of the Green Bamboo Gang and the Fierce Tiger Gang, containing all the Limit Breaking Warriors, led respectively by Li Quan and Cao Hu.
After several years of hard training, Li Quan had successfully stepped into the Second limit-breaking stage.
They curiously looked at Lu Yan.
Because Lu Yan did not disguise himself this time and showed his true self.
In the past, he used to disguise himself as Lu Shan and painted his face with tree sap. However, things were pressing this time, and there was no time for him to put on a disguise?
The Shape-shifting Technique could not achieve the effect of painting tree sap.
Besides, there was no need to conceal his identity anymore. There was no necessity.
"I am Lu Shan."
Lu Yan said, imitating Lu Shan’s voice. His Qi-Blood surged, exuding a powerful aura.
"We pay respects to the Gang Leader."
Li Quan, Cao Hu, and the others promptly showed their respects.
They had the Token, and with Wang Lin and Zhang Jun, two Red-clad Guards standing beside, there was no room for doubts.
They already knew that their Gang Leader belonged to the Red-clad Guards.
"The real me looks like this. The disguise in the past was just for convenience. "
Lu Yan casually explained, and continued, "I believe you’ve all heard about the situation in Changfeng City. Tonight, the Liu Family and the Wu Family have completely started their war. The Wei Family will inevitably intervene later. The Red-clad Guards have fallen into cannon fodder. I’m about to leave Changfeng City. Those of you who want to continue to follow me can come with me. But those who don’t wish to, feel free to leave and find your own way. I won’t stop you."
Li Quan, Cao Hu, and others looked at each other in surprise.
The Liu Family and the Wu Family had really started the war.
They had known about the tense situation in Changfeng City for the past few days, but they did not expect the two major Feudal Lords to actually start a full-scale war.
"Wherever you go, I’ll follow. I’m willing to follow you for life, from the front of the saddle to the back of the horse."
Li Quan was the quickest to respond and spoke first.
"This guy...is a great rival."
Cao Hu glared at Li Quan in annoyance and hurriedly said, "Wherever you go, I go; to the knife mountain or the pan of boiling oil, I would not hesitate."
Lu Yan was much younger than they had imagined.
Such strength at such a young age promised limitless future achievements.
Only a fool would leave. Naturally, they would hold tight to the ’big leg’ (powerful support), hoping to rise to fame in the future.
Even if they left Lu Yan, what could they do? They would still have to join other gangs. But as newcomers, how could they easily get important roles?
"I am willing to follow the Gang Leader."
The rest of them also bowed in succession.
"Good. Since you trust me, I will remember you in the future. As long as I have something to eat, I won’t leave you behind."
Lu Yan clapped his hands.
The reason he didn’t immediately leave Changfeng City with his family and called a meeting with the members of the two gangs was because he had more important things to arrange.
"I’m about to leave for Baicao City, but not all of you can follow me, there are more important tasks I need you to do."
"Leave a few people in Changfeng City to infiltrate other gangs, keep an eye on the movements in the city, and find an opportunity to contact Li Quan to report everything."
"In addition, delegate a few people to spread into other cities, such as Qingyang City and Snake City, spreading the news that the Ancestor of the Liu Family has broken through the level of a Grandmaster."
Lu Yan started his planning.
Grandmaster?
All faces changed greatly, including Wang Lin and Zhang Jun.
"Why the scare? If the ancestor of the Liu Family becomes a Grandmaster, do you think the Wei Family will permit such a significant threat to appear within their territory? They will definitely dispatch an army to annihilate the Liu Family, leaving them unable to defend themselves."
Said Lu Yan.
Upon pondering, everyone agreed and felt relieved.
"Alright, start implementing immediately."
Lu Yan commanded.
Li Quan and Cao Hu immediately started organizing the people who will stay in Changfeng City and those who will spread into other cities to disseminate the news.
After the arrangement, the remaining people immediately set off towards the south with Lu Yan and his team.
"Father, mother, you go with Wang Lin and the rest first, I have one more thing to do, and I will meet up with you in a moment."
After bidding farewell to Lu Qingshan, Wang Lin, and the others, Lu Yan returned home and wrote one line on a white paper: I have everything arranged, if I die things will be exposed. If I am safe, I will keep the secret forever.
This message was left for the Ancestor of the Liu Family.
The Liu Family has seen his true face, so he believed it wouldn’t be hard for them to find out his real identity.
Lu Yan currently had no plans to leak the news that the Ancestor of the Liu Family was a Martial Spirit.
There would be no benefit for him to do so.
If the news that the Ancestor of the Liu Family is a Martial Spirit got out, the Liu Family would surely be exterminated.
The Liu Family would be ended, but the life of Ancestor himself was uncertain.
Martial Spirits are extraordinarily vital, especially a Master Level Martial Spirit like Liu’s Ancestor. If he survived, he would undoubtedly seek revenge on Lu Yan.
However, if Lu Yan kept the secret, the Ancestor would be more cautious and wouldn’t dare to force him.
Furthermore, he had another consideration.
Once the Liu Family was eradicated, Changfeng City would surely fall into the hands of the Wei Family.
When Wei Family takes over developing Blood Land Vein, would they find the hidden second level Blood Land Vein?
There was great risk.
Right now, only spreading the news of the Ancestor of Liu Family’s breakthrough but not about the Martial Spirit, drawing the two feudal lords into the battle, leaves them with no extra energy to develop the Blood Land Vein.
The chance of discovering the second-level Blood Land Vein significantly decreases.
The second-level Blood Land Vein forms the foundation for Master Level Feudal Lords, and Lu Yan is not about to give up easily.
He would return to Changfeng City in the future.
Having left the note, he met up with Wang Lin and others and hurried towards Baicao City overnight.
By the time they reached Jiuqu City, Lu Yan bought two horse carts, significantly speeding up their journey.
...
The battle was now over at the Liu Family’s Blood Land Vein.
Outside the castle, bodies were piling up and on the castle wall hung six corpses.
These six bodies were from the six Martial Marquis of the Wu Family.
Seeing that all of Wu Family’s Martial Marquis had been killed, the remaining troops immediately managed to surrender, except for the direct descendants of the Wu Family.
Most of the Wu Family members had been killed, with only a few who managed to escape.
Inside the castle.
"Ancestor, this is the full portraits of the Red-clad Guards you requested, please have a look."
Liu Yuansong handed over a stack of portraits with great caution, for the Ancestor of Liu family was emanating a brutal aura, like a bloodthirsty beast, that might burst out at any moment.
The ancestor took the portraits and quickly flipped through them, soon, he held up one, the portrait of Lu Yan.
Next to the picture, Lu Yan’s information was also annotated.
"Locate this Lu Yan and bring his head back. No, inform me immediately when you find him. This kid has a strong skill set, and there are certain to be helpers nearby. Otherwise, he could not have killed Yuan Fu."
The Ancestor coldly ordered.
"Yes, Ancestor."
Liu Yuansong bowed his body.
The Liu Family immediately went into motion, starting a city-wide search for Lu Yan.
Very quickly, the note that Lu Yan left at his home appeared in front of the ancestor.
Bang!
The Ancestor fiercely slammed his palm on the table, reducing both the note and the table to dust.
"This audacious whelp dares to mock me!"
With a fierce expression, the Ancestor of Liu Family was overflowing with murderous intent.
