Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1176: The Grudge Against Lü Donglin

Lü Wenbang leaned back on the sofa, quietly recounting the events of the past, leaving Lü Peiwen utterly astonished.

The mother of Lü Donglin was none other than Beigong Yan, the younger sister of the Beigong War God.

In his early years, the Beigong War God’s family suffered a huge tragedy; almost all of his kin met with grisly deaths, leaving only him and his younger sister, Beigong Yan, alive.

Beigong Yan was comparatively fortunate, having arrived in Capital City early enough to avoid experiencing the family calamity. Moreover, she happened to be with the third son of the Martial Champion at that time, and the two had developed deep feelings for each other and were considering marriage. The enemies of the Beigong Family dare not target Beigong Yan in Capital City.

However, the Beigong War God faced his family’s catastrophe head-on, hiding in the sewers for three days and nights before escaping the manhunt and saving his own life.

When Beigong Yan learned of her family’s fate, she wanted to return to the north to seek revenge but was stopped by the third son, Zhang. Later, when the Beigong War God fled to Capital City, he secretly found Beigong Yan and persuaded her to stay. Beigong Yan then collected some secret martial arts manuals from the Martial Champion and gave them to the Beigong War God for his cultivation.

Afterwards, having achieved success in his training, the Beigong War God forcefully returned to the Northern Three Provinces.

Such family conflicts were nothing new; they had always been this way.

However, the enemies who had originally targeted the Beigong War God were quite cunning. Knowing that Beigong Yan was under the protection of the Martial Champion, they quietly diverted some of the benefits from the Northern Three Provinces to the major families in Capital City, tying these families to their interests.

At that time, nearly all the great families in Capital City were involved in the benefits from the Northern Three Provinces. Almost half of the profits from there made their way into the hands of these families.

After the Beigong War God returned and eradicated his past enemies, avenging his family, he did not stop there. He aimed to unify the Northern Three Provinces and cut off the lifeline of interest for these great families in Capital City.

This naturally provoked the ire of the major families in Capital City.

But at that time, due to the presence of the third son, Zhang, no one dared to say anything.

However, it was soon revealed that Beigong Yan had used Zhang to pass on the family martial arts of the Martial Champion to the Beigong War God.

This infuriated Zhang, who felt that Beigong Yan had deceived and used him. As a result, a conflict arose between them, eventually leading to a bitter separation with Beigong Yan leaving in a huff.

The major families in Capital City had already been displeased with the Beigong War God, and with Beigong Yan severing that last shred of connection with the Martial Champion Family, they no longer felt the need for pretense. After Beigong Yan left Capital City, nearly all the major families in the city sent assassins after her.

Beigong Yan herself was extremely powerful, after all, she had read the secret scrolls of the Beigong War God first.

However, under the joint siege of those major clans in Capital City, she was still no match. Although she escaped the encirclement several times, she was gravely injured, and by the time someone dispatched by the Beigong War God managed to rescue her, she was barely clinging to life.

Later on, Beigong Yan remarried in the Northern Three Provinces to a man with the surname Lü. A year later, she gave birth to Lü Donglin, but due to her severe accumulated injuries, she died shortly after his birth. Lü Donglin then became the sole heir of the Beigong War God!

Those major families in Capital City sent assassins to kill the Beigong War God several times. As a result, after a three-year war, not only did they fail to eliminate the Beigong War God, but quite the opposite, the Beigong War God continuously transformed and grew stronger during the Great Battles.

Three years later, the Beigong War God had fully matured and in one battle, he killed three Terrestrial Immortals that had come from Capital City, firmly establishing his name as the War God. He dominated the Northern Three Provinces and roared across Capital City. From then on, the great families of Capital City completely gave up, no longer daring to meddle in the affairs of the Northern Three Provinces.

Many years have passed since then, and the Beigong War God has become even more dominant. And Lü Donglin gradually grew up. At the age of fifteen, he had snuck into Capital City behind the Beigong War God’s back and killed some people to avenge his mother.

At that time, nobody knew that Lü Donglin was the nephew of the Beigong War God, so those families sent people to hunt him down. Lü Donglin was not strong enough back then and was chased miserably until he finally managed to escape back to the Northern Three Provinces.

Those families in Capital City, unaware that Lü Donglin was the nephew of the Beigong War God, sent people into the Northern Three Provinces to pursue him.

As a result, as soon as their people entered the Northern Three Provinces, they encountered the forces sent by the Beigong War God to meet them. Not only were their people all killed, but even Xue Nu, the top general of the Beigong War God, personally led three hundred warriors directly into Capital City, wiping out the families that had chased Lü Donglin overnight.

Afterward, the major families of Capital City were furious and sent people to surround and pursue Xue Nu. However, the Beigong War God personally intervened and pushed forward three hundred miles, all the way to the Northern Suburb of Capital City, where he killed twenty-three powerful Family Heads in one battle. The major families of Capital City completely ceased their attacks, slinking back to Capital City without a word, no longer daring to bear any grudges against the Beigong War God!

Later, after several years of cultivation, Lü Donglin’s strength greatly increased, and he entered Capital City with high profile, stepping over the heads of the city’s dandies. During that period, some families were discontented, believing that they owned the turf of Capital City and outsiders couldn’t be so arrogant. Thus, they tried to deal with Lü Donglin using their family’s influence.

The result was that they provoked Xue Nu, who once again entered Capital City for a sweeping action.

This time, the major families of Capital City had truly learned their lesson and did not dare to encircle Xue Nu any longer. These families also restrained their members from confronting Lü Donglin directly, which led to Lü Donglin’s fame in Capital City.

Lü Peiwen was not aware of Lü Donglin’s past or the history of the Beigong War God. After listening to his father, he was shocked. After a long while, he finally exclaimed in astonishment, ”Dad, although the Beigong War God is powerful, he has always been beneath the Martial Champion. The Martial Champion is from Capital City, how... how can he allow the Beigong War God to rampage unchecked in Capital City?”

”I don’t know about that,” Lü Wenbang shook his head. ”The Martial Champion family has never been involved in any affairs concerning the Beigong War God. It seems that it’s because Young Master Zhang felt guilty towards Beigong Yan, carried guilt in his heart, and during the process of cultivation, made a mistake and strayed into the Earthly Immortal Realm, becoming a great regret in the heart of the Martial Champion. The Martial Champion also strictly ordered the people of his family not to interfere with the matters of the Beigong War God. Hence, even though the Beigong War God has rampaged through Capital City several times, the Martial Champion has never made a move!”

”What does Young Master Zhang have to feel guilty about?” Lü Peiwen pressed anxiously. ”Initially, it was Beigong Yan who used him and deceived him; what he did was right. Moreover, after Beigong Yan returned to the Northern Three Provinces, she got married and had a child so quickly. That shows she didn’t have Young Master Zhang in her heart at all, she was the one who betrayed Young Master Zhang. Why should Young Master Zhang feel guilty?”

Lü Wenbang simply shrugged his shoulders, ”Who can know the affairs of others? Anyway, Young Master Zhang’s insult to the Land of Immortals was the Martial Champion’s greatest regret. Thereafter, Young Master Zhang stayed away from Capital City for many years without returning. However, I’ve heard that he seems to be coming back recently.”
