Chapter 693: Chapter 334: Runaway, Runaway_2
Actually, if it were possible…
Lu Wushi really didn’t want to do this.
As the Ancestor of the Lu Family in Qiuyue City, he enjoyed the offerings of an entire family.
All resources, there was no need for him to seek personally.
His own younger generations would present them with the utmost respect.
That feeling was truly exhilarating.
...
But it was a pity…
He didn’t know if it was because his younger generations were too audacious, or their brains had malfunctioned.
They had the guts to mess with the people from the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
Messing with the Luo Family of Qingshi City, wasn’t that equivalent to seeking death?
Even if, for the moment, one didn’t consider the Ancestor of the Luo Family, Luo Changfeng, whose cultivation had already reached the Mortal Transcendence Realm…
Just the mysterious organization known as Shadow Guard by that old monster’s side.
He, a mere cultivator at the Intermediate Stage of Blood Refinement, couldn’t compare.
After all, the number of Blood Refinement Realm cultivators who died at the hands of that mysterious Shadow Guard…
Definitely was not less than a two-digit number.
As for whether it reached three digits, he dared not confirm.
However, what he could confirm was…
That even if the Ancestor of the Luo Family from Qingshi City didn’t take action, just those Shadow Guards alone were not something he, a mere cultivator at the Intermediate Stage of Blood Cultivation, could cope with.
…
Qiuyue City, Lu Family clan grounds’ back mountain.
Outside a cave that was usually uninhabited.
Lu Jiancheng, the current Family Head of the Lu Family, was staring blankly into the distance.
“How could this happen?”
“How could this happen?”
“How could this happen?”
Lu Jiancheng kept asking himself.
Even, he was pondering.
Maybe he had somewhat underestimated the true strength of the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
He thought that by informing their old Ancestor about this matter…
The old Ancestor would have a way to solve the current troubles.
Only, what he didn’t expect was…
Their old Ancestor, without giving it a thought, upon hearing that the force provoked was the Luo Family of Qingshi City, immediately turned his head and walked away.
It seemed… he was planning to escape alone?
Moreover, he told him to hurry and escape.
If it was too late, not to mention him as the current Family Head of the Lu Family in Qiuyue City, perhaps the entire Lu Family of Qiuyue City would suffer the catastrophe of extermination.
“You’re joking, right?”
“This can’t be true…”
“The old Ancestor, he…”
Lu Jiancheng tried to explain to himself, he attempted to persuade himself.
Only, the more he did so…
The more violently his body began to tremble.
Why had it come to this?
Why had things developed to this point?
At this moment, Lu Jiancheng’s heart rate had already climbed to an extreme.
Big beads of sweat were continually sliding down his forehead.
Why had it come to this?
Was it due to the greed in his heart?
Or was it that he had somewhat underestimated the Luo Family of Qingshi City?
Was it because his Lu Family had been invincible within Qiuyue City for so long?
Thus leading him to act without any concerns when doing things?
It seemed to be so.
Inside Qiuyue City, ruling like a local emperor for a long time.
Lu Jiancheng’s entire being gradually started to believe that his Lu Family was invincible.
Inside Qiuyue City, it was so.
Outside Qiuyue City, it was also so.
“Family Head…”
Outside the cave, just as Lu Jiancheng was bowing his head, somewhat panicked and at a loss,
a servant of the Lu Family dressed in black
suddenly appeared before him.
“What is it?”
Lu Jiancheng lifted his head stiffly, he forcibly calmed himself, then asked the servant beside him in a low voice.
“The person from the Luo Family of Qingshi City is heading towards our Lu Family clan grounds…”
Lu Jiancheng was stunned, then he said incredulously, “What did you say? The person from the Luo Family of Qingshi City is coming here?”

The servant nodded and then asked, “Family Head, what should we do now?”
Although the servants of the Lu Family lacked a deep understanding of the Mortal Transcendence Realm,
the might and terror of the Luo Family from Qingshi City had long since struck deep into their hearts.
“What should we do?”
Lu Jiancheng frowned deeply, glancing at the servant beside him before lifting his gaze toward the distance.
It seemed as if he was pondering something.
But in reality, at that very moment, how could Lu Jiancheng have the mind to think about what to do next?
Damn it all, even the Ancestor of their own family had fled.
What could he do?
Now, that he could maintain his composure and appear as if he were in deep thought,
was already the limit of his abilities.
To ask him to do more than that was probably not possible.
“Let’s do this…”
After thinking for a while, Lu Jiancheng spoke in a forced calm to the servant beside him, “Summon the family elders, tell them to wait for me in the main hall.”
Having said this, Lu Jiancheng waved his hand, indicating for the servant to leave.
And with the departure of that servant from the Lu Family,
Lu Jiancheng, the current Family Head of the Lu Family, hurriedly sprinted in a certain direction.
After all, if the Ancestor of his own family had said to flee,
then he had better flee quickly.
Otherwise, if he delayed…
it was likely that the entire Lu Family of Qiuyue City would not escape death.
And given this, he would follow the Ancestor’s order.
However, it was clear,
that if the whole family fled, it would be too obviously suspicious.
Therefore, he needed to leave behind some people to cover up the fact of his own escape.
The family elders he had just instructed the servant to gather were those whom Lu Jiancheng had decided to leave behind to face their end.
And now, before the arrivals from the Luo Family of Qingshi City,
he must quickly notify his wives and children, and then take a secret passage known only to the Family Head, to swiftly leave Qiuyue City.
Of course, if time permitted,
he would take as much of the family wealth with him as possible.
Only with sufficient wealth could he possibly re-establish another Lu Family.
And not just let the Lu Family vanish from this world, becoming a mere speck of dust in the annals of history.
…
In the blink of an eye, another period of time passed.
Outside the Lu Family compound in Qiuyue City,
at this moment, Luo Yao, the heir to the Family Head of the Luo Family, was leading Luo Ze and their neighbor the benign-looking Zhen.
They had arrived outside the Lu Family compound in Qiuyue City.
“This Lu Family compound in Qiuyue City really is splendid…”
Luo Yao silently observed the extravagant Lu Family compound,
he couldn’t help but squint slightly and murmur in admiration.
“It’s about time.”
“Next, we should enter this Lu Family compound and take care of this matter with the Lu Family.”
Luo Yao murmured to himself.
Afterward, he silently began to walk into the Lu Family compound.
Some Lu Family guards stationed at the compound,
seeing Luo Yao inexplicably approaching,
naturally wanted to draw the steel knives at their waists,
to intimidate Luo Yao a little, making him aware of what sort of place he was in.
At the same time, they also wanted to make Luo Yao understand,
that he should never trespass so recklessly again in the future.
However, to the surprise of the Lu Family guards,
before they could even approach Luo Yao, who looked like a confused young man,
their heads separated from their bodies and slowly fell to the ground.
Blood gushed continually,
and the rich scent of blood rapidly spread through the air.
A somber atmosphere took over the Lu Family compound abruptly.
“Ah, why bother?”
“If you hadn’t tried to stop me, you wouldn’t have lost your lives so directly…”
Luo Yao looked down at the corpses on the ground,
shaking his head in resignation.
Then he continued walking into the depths of the Lu Family compound.
Luo Ze, wielding a Spiritual Sword, and Zhen, with a face full of charitable smiles,
followed closely behind Luo Yao.
