Chapter 694: Chapter 335: The City Lord of Qiuyue City?_1
Qiuyue City, Lu Family’s clan grounds.
Within the grand hall where many Lu Family elders were gathered.

At this moment, the atmosphere here seemed somewhat somber.
All the Lu Family elders in the hall furrowed their brows slightly while they observed the space outside.
“What’s going on?”
“Why is there such a commotion?”
...
Inside the hall.
A middle-aged man with a head full of white hair but a rather robust figure.
He was frowning deeply, sternly questioning the Lu Family servants beside him.
A Lu Family servant approached the white-haired middle-aged man.
He bowed his head slightly, his expression seemingly a bit panicked as he answered, “It appears that a group of people have broke into the Lu Family’s grounds, and the guards and Death Warriors stationed to defend the place are currently dealing with the matter…”
The middle-aged man with white hair, upon hearing this.
Fell silent for a moment before waving his hand dismissively.
After that, he silently closed his eyes, intending to rest and recuperate for a while.
As for the other Lu Family elders in the room.
Having received such a definitive answer, they also shut their eyes one after another to rest.
However, what was unexpected to everyone was…
The chaos outside the hall seemed not to fade away with the passage of time.
On the contrary, the noise was getting louder.
Even the clamorous sounds were gradually approaching the direction of this hall.
“Haven’t those intruders within the clan grounds been dealt with yet?”
The Lu Family Great Elder, who had chosen to close his eyes and meditate, couldn’t help it anymore.
He opened his eyes again and looked at the standing Lu Family servants beside him, inquiring in a low voice.
Of course, regarding this.
The Lu Family’s servants only bowed their heads, and none dared to answer rashly.
“Where’s the Family Head?”
“Why hasn’t the Family Head arrived yet?”
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was gradually becoming somewhat off.
Suddenly, a relatively young Lu Family elder couldn’t help but ask aloud.
After this question was raised.
The group of Lu Family elders in the hall also gradually became aware of something not quite right.
Just moments ago, the Family Head had sent someone to instruct them.
To discuss some matters related to the family’s future development in this council hall.
However, all the Lu Family elders had already arrived.
Yet Lu Jiancheng, the current Family Head of the Lu Family, was still nowhere to be seen.
This was indeed quite unusual.
And just as the people inside the hall started to ponder over this issue, the chaos outside the hall suddenly came to a halt.
The noisy voices ceased abruptly.
“Is it finally over?”
The robust, white-haired Lu Family Great Elder noticed the sudden silence outside the hall.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the exterior of the hall.
However, before the people in the council hall had the chance to send someone out to investigate the situation.
The door to the council hall was suddenly pushed open.
[Creak…]
A somewhat grating sound gradually rose to the ears of the various Lu Family elders.
A low-key yet tastefully dressed Luo Yao.
He silently observed the people in the council hall, smiled faintly, and said softly, “I was wondering why I didn’t see a few key figures of the Lu Family in this vast clan ground, turns out everyone is here.”
In the council hall, the white-haired Great Elder of the Lu Family of Qiuyue City was initially taken aback.
Then, his expression turned rather frosty as he watched Luo Yao.
“Who are you?”
“Do you realize where this is?”
Luo Yao, somewhat resigned, rubbed his head. He looked at those Lu Family high-level officials who still seemed somewhat oblivious and sighed softly, “Here we go again, here we go again…”
Truth be told, the Lu Family Head was quite astute.
It seemed he had already made a run for it before Luo Yao even arrived at the Lu Family’s grounds.
And the reason he knew about all this.
Primarily because the faction of the Lu Family Head had basically disappeared without a trace.
But while the Lu Family Head had fled.
And the ancient ancestor of the Lu Family in the Blood Refinement Realm had fled.
The high-level members of the Lu Family were one by one foolishly waiting in this council hall, seemingly expecting their Family Head to appear.
A headache, a real headache.
“Forget it, just take them down by force…”
Luo Yao waved his hand, then gave a low order to the expressionless Black-clothed Shadow Guards beside him.
After getting a nod from the Shadow Guards, they quickly advanced toward the high-rankings of the Lu Family inside the council hall.
“What are you doing, what are you trying to do?”
“I am an elder of the Lu Family of Qiuyue City, how dare you lay a hand on me?”
“Stop this, stop this, let’s talk it out…”
“Don’t kill me, please don’t kill me…”
Amongst the barrage of curses, pleas for mercy, and screams.
Luo Yao was somewhat surprised to find that there was a Lu Family high-ranking member in the council hall who was actually holding his own against some of his Shadow Guards.
Though Zhen, one of the Three Great Commanders of the Shadow Guards, had not taken any action.
The Shadow Guards he had brought to the Lu Family grounds today were at least at the Organ Refinement Perfection Realm.
And there were not a few at the Initial Realm of Blood Refinement.
Yet, this white-haired Lu Family member with a robust figure was able to hold off several Shadow Guards for a short time.
What a strange thing, truly strange.
