Chapter 186 – Conspiracy Against Lu Xuan

“Do you know who he is, Young Master?” Ding Zhuxuan asked.
At this time, Zhang Hongyang and Shi Danze had received the news and rushed to the control room.
“That’s the Great Ancestor of the Taichu Group’s Luo family!”
Lu Xuan could tell from a single glance. Even if he only caught a slight glimpse of the man’s face, he could recognize him immediately.
It was the Great Ancestor of the Taichu Group’s Luo family—Luo Zihong.
In his past life, Lu Xuan had fought with Luo Zihong many times. In the beginning, Luo Zihong had been after his life, but he later flipped the script and killed Luo Zihong. In some ways, the two of them were old acquaintances.
He had been finding it strange that the Luo family actually had not made any moves during this time, and were unusually quiet.
Now he knew that they were waiting for the Luo family Great Ancestor Luo Zihong’s breakthrough!
Under normal circumstances, if Luo Zihong managed a breakthrough, he would indeed be powerful enough to easily mop the floor with strong opponents, and nobody would be his equal.
However, unfortunately for Luo Zihong, while his power was increasing at a tremendous speed, Lu Xuan’s was increasing even faster.
Moreover, the group of people at Lu Xuan’s side had strength that was not inferior to Luo Zihong’s.
It was Luo Zihong’s first fight since his breakthrough, but he would have to return in defeat.
“Still, it’s good that he came. It’s the perfect opportunity to eliminate the root of our problems!”
A frigid smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face.
If he had not appeared, Lu Xuan might have allowed the Luo family to live for a couple more days.
However, since Luo Zihong had already made an appearance, it meant that the Luo family had started to set their sights on him once again, and not eliminating the root of his problems was not Lu Xuan’s style.
At the same time…
At this point, in the ancestral home of the Luo family in Zhe Province, the high-level members of the Luo family were looking grimly at their family’s Great Ancestor Luo Zihong, who was in front of them drenched in blood.
Everyone who knew what had happened had serious expressions on their faces.
Just a few days ago, the Great Ancestor had just made it into the Invincible Vajra level, joining the ranks of the strongest masters. This level of cultivation was considered top tier in the present day, and these masters could even single-handedly fight against parts of an army.
In ancient times, a person of such strength would be like a god in mortal form or a superhuman.
The Great Ancestor had then only recently made his way out after this achievement to eliminate the bane of the Luo family, Lu Xuan.
In the end, not long after, he had returned to the Luo family ancestral home bearing grievous injuries.
There was a huge wound on his chest, continuously gushing out blood, and it was an extremely horrific sight to behold.
If not for the frightening life force possessed by an Invincible Vajra level master, he would be long dead from such an injury by now.
“Who is it! Who could injure the Great Ancestor like this!”
The current Luo family clan leader, Luo Ding, exclaimed with a frantic expression. There was no doubt in anyone’s mind that the Great Ancestor was the hope of the Luo family, and whose strength they were all relying on.
If their Great Ancestor were to fall, they dared not imagine what would happen to the Luo family.
The bitter end that the Qiu family met with was still a vivid memory, as though it had happened not long ago.
“It’s that little b*stard Lu Xuan!”
Gritting his teeth and staring straight ahead, Luo Zihong spat.
He would never have expected to almost lose his life so early into his expedition.
The first thing he had done after making his breakthrough was to go and deal with Lu Xuan. Who could have imagined that before he even saw Lu Xuan’s face, that he would quickly taste defeat at his grand defensive formation?
He had not even made it a few steps into the grand defensive formation when he was dealt a grave injury right away by the sword qi.
The expressions on the rest of the Luo family members changed upon hearing this name. When it came to Lu Xuan, no one in the Luo family did not know about him.
If it was said that they suffered a huge loss before because they did not view Lu Xuan as a threat, now nobody dared to underestimate Lu Xuan.
Due to this fact, the Luo family had no choice but to pull back their reach and retreat from Min Province.
They had been biding their time, waiting for the Great Ancestor to break through to the Invincible Vajra Level before they began their conquest anew.
Unlike other factions of Cultivators, those of the Luo family were aware of the existence of the Invincible Vajra level from a long time ago.
They also knew that the Invincible Vajra level was the true first step to becoming superhuman.
No matter how formidable the Divine levels from before were, getting struck by a bullet would still be fatal.
However, Invincible Vajra Levels were different. Their physical bodies were so strong that even without protecting themselves with Spiritual Qi, getting sprayed with gunfire would not harm them.
They were truly invincible.
Yet, unexpectedly, their Great Ancestor had suffered a heavy injury moments after reentering the world.
“Help me fetch the alkahestry pill from the secret compartment in my private room!” Luo Zihong said through clenched teeth. Very soon, one of the junior members of the Luo family had brought over a brown alkahestry pill.
Luo Zihong hurriedly consumed it, and before long, his life force suddenly increased, and the horrific wound healed at a frightening speed.
The aura surrounding his body also grew stronger, and even his own power underwent a great increase. Originally, Luo Zihong’s strength was only middling among the Invincible Vajra Level masters.
However, now that his strength had grown to double of what it was, he had instantly reached the level of the strongest among the Invincible Vajras.
“The Great Ancestor is alright!”
The high-level members of the Luo family were immediately overjoyed. If Luo Zihong fell here, the impact it would have on the rest of the Luo family would be unimaginably bad.
Luo Zihong took in a deep breath, having escaped from the jaws of death, and said, “Though I ended up fine this time, that was the last of the alkahestry pills they gave me. I had originally planned to consume it to break through to a higher level, but I was forced to use it earlier than expected!”
Thinking about this, Luo Zihong felt an ache in his heart.
He knew that the Invincible Vajra level was only the first step to becoming superhuman, but if he broke through to the next level, he would truly be superhuman and would truly be a god-like individual.
When that happened, taking on an entire army would be a simple matter for him, and he would be unparalleled under the heavens.
He had reserved that alkahestry pill for breaking through to the next level, so having to use it now naturally pained him a lot.
“I need to slay this little bastard to quench the hatred in my heart!” Luo Zihong stated coldly. “However, that little b*stard is hiding in that villa of his, and I can’t reach him. Do any of you have some way of luring him out!”
Luo Zihong scanned the crowd, and the rest of the Luo family understood what he meant right away, but they did not have any good plans to propose. Against someone turtling up in his own villa, there was basically no good way of dealing with him.
Judging from Luo Zihong’s injuries, even if they all went together, they would probably be killed, and were essentially useless.
“Great Ancestor, your granddaughter has a plan!”
Suddenly, Luo Ying, who had been standing in a corner, spoke up.
“What plan do you have, let’s hear it?” Luo Zihong questioned.
Luo Ying answered, “It’s very simple, Great Ancestor. Now that you’ve broken through to the Invincible Vajra Level, it’s a joyous affair and should be cause for a big celebration. When the time is right, you can invite several of your good friends and wait for Lu Xuan to come, then you can catch him in our trap and ensure his death!”
Hearing this, Luo Zihong asked, “How are you so sure that Lu Xuan will come?”
Luo Ying answered, “During this time, your granddaughter has been investigating Lu Xuan. What I’ve found is that this man is arrogant and scorns conspiracies and tricks. At the same time, he is ruthless and has been eyeing our Luo family for some time with deadly intent. If the Great Ancestor were to hold a celebration, then your granddaughter is certain that there is an extremely high chance of him coming here to kill us!
“I can’t wait to smash him to pieces, and Lu Xuan probably can’t wait to kill us all as well!”
