Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”You’re saying it was the Longevity Demon, Lu Changsheng? He was just here?”

The moment Ye Wanqing finished speaking, Lu Fangliang’s uncle, Lu Yixuan, flew into a towering rage and roared.

He looked as if he was about to chase after that traitor of the Lu Family and fight him to the death.

”No, it wasn’t the Longevity Demon. It was his descendant!”

Ye Wanqing shook her head repeatedly.

The members of the Lu Family were stunned.

’Lu Changsheng has descendants?’

This was something they had never known.

At this moment, Ye Wanqing showed a hint of embarrassment and said, ”I only heard about this from Grandma Lio. Back then, after Lu Changsheng betrayed the Lu Family, he brought a child to my Ye Family. Pleading our shared kinship, he begged us to take the child in. At the time, my Ye Family ancestor, mindful of our kinship, agreed. It was only later that we learned Lu Changsheng had betrayed the Lu Family, but the child was ultimately allowed to stay.”

”Oh? So it was Lu Changsheng’s child!”

Hearing this, Lu Yixuan and the others finally calmed down a little.

If it had been Lu Changsheng himself, that heinous monster, they would have fought to the death, even knowing they were no match for him.

But as it turned out, it was only his descendant.

”A descendant of Lu Changsheng... in that case, we shouldn’t act rashly,” Lu Fangliang’s uncle said. ”Yijun, go back and report this to the clan. Let them decide how to handle it. Also, before you return, investigate Lu Changsheng’s descendant thoroughly. If he hasn’t done anything evil, make that clear to the clan as well. He is, after all, of our Lu Family bloodline.”

The members of the Lu Family all nodded in agreement.

Although the Demon Lu Changsheng had betrayed the Lu Family and committed heinous crimes, the members of the Lu Family were, at heart, very upright people.

They knew that Lu Changsheng was the one at fault, and his actions didn’t necessarily have to implicate his descendant. You couldn’t just assume that because a father was guilty of unforgivable evil, his child must also be a bad person, could you?

Besides, if even the Ye Family could tolerate them, could it be that their own Lu Family could not?

Yang Xiao agreed with this sentiment.

However, unlike the members of the Lu Family, he had met Lu Qianfan.

That guy’s character was nothing to write home about.

At least, compared to the Lu Family members before him, he was far worse.

’Still, this is ultimately Brother Lu’s family affair, so it’s not my place to interfere too much. Besides, I’ve already fed Lu Qianfan a Poison Pill. Whether he lives or dies is in my hands, so there’s no need to worry. If they don’t provoke me, then fine. But if they do, they can’t blame me for being ruthless.’

Yang Xiao shook his head and didn’t dwell on it.

He began to entertain the Lu Family members.

They had come from afar as guests, and they were here to help him.

Naturally, Yang Xiao had to treat them with proper hospitality.

With them standing guard, Ye Wanqing also felt much more at ease.

Although Lu Fangliang’s sixth uncle, Lu Yijun, had left because of the matter concerning Lu Changsheng’s descendant, the remaining three were all Demigods. On the current Profound Sun Continent, they were already considered peak existences.

With them to protect his Dao, Yang Xiao’s Path of the Human Emperor would naturally be much smoother.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiao began to refine more Pills.

With the help of Lu Fangliang’s Greater Yang Power, although it couldn’t compare to his own True Greater Yang Fire, it was still enough for him to refine some more world-shocking Pills.

But just as Yang Xiao and the Lu Family were not paying much attention to Lu Qianfan and his group...

...Lu Qianfan and the others had already returned to the barren mountains and treacherous rivers where the Southeast Two Domains met.

As luck would have it,

it was exactly noon.

The time Yang Xiao had said the Ten Thousand Ants Heart Devouring Pill would take effect.

”AHH! It hurts so much!”

Suddenly, Lu Qianfan, whose face had been lit with joy at their return, plummeted from mid-air.

He gave Wang Tianyi, the middle-aged man named Liu, and Ye Wanyu a huge fright.

They all descended to check on him.

They saw Lu Qianfan convulsing.

His entire body was trembling.

”Pain! Pain!”

He cried out in pain over and over.

His expression was one of absolute agony.

His hands clawed wildly at his body, as if something were gnawing at him.

But even after tearing his own skin, he found nothing. Still, Lu Qianfan kept scratching, and soon, his entire body was a bloody mess.

Seeing this scene,

Ye Wanyu, Wang Tianyi, and the man named Liu all sucked in a sharp breath.

’So, that young man from before wasn’t lying!’ Wang Tianyi thought in shock.

He was the oldest and could naturally see that Yang Xiao’s real goal wasn’t to kill Ye Wanyu or Lu Qianfan, but to drive them away.

Therefore, he’d had some doubts about the Poison Pill.

But now, seeing this,

he was struck by how ruthless the young man’s methods truly were.

He had really used such a terrifying poison on Lu Qianfan.

His heart immediately grew uneasy.

’If Lu Dingyuan can’t cure Lu Qianfan, then Miss Wanyu... doesn’t that mean...’

As he thought this, Wang Tianyi was instantly conflicted.

He wanted to help Ye Wanyu, but Lu Dingyuan was too powerful and incredibly influential. If he truly decided to move against Ye Wanyu, there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Besides, even if he told Ye Wanyu this now, would she believe him?

Thinking of this, Wang Tianyi couldn’t help but glance at Ye Wanyu in the distance.

”That damn bastard! He actually dared to be so vicious! Grandma Lio, you were wrong about him!” Ye Wanyu roared when she saw this.

Clearly, she was completely oblivious to the danger she herself was in now that the poison had proven to be real.

’It seems this Miss Ye is still too green after all. It will be difficult to rely on her to lead us out of this and restore the Ye Family’s glory. That young man, on the other hand...’ a thought stirred in Wang Tianyi’s mind.

He now understood. That young man named Yang Xiao must be the successor chosen by the Ye Family’s eldest young miss, and he also had the approval of a young miss from the Ye Family Main Lineage.

If he had to choose between Ye Wanyu and Yang Xiao,

Wang Tianyi now found himself admiring Yang Xiao more.

However, at this moment, neither Yang Xiao nor Ye Wanyu had the resources to contend with Lu Dingyuan.

Wang Tianyi could only remain silent.

’Forget it. When the time comes, I’ll just have to help Miss Wanyu from the shadows. No matter what, she is still a young miss of the Ye Family Main Lineage.’

Having made this decision, when Wang Tianyi looked at Lu Qianfan again, he was shocked to see that he had already passed out from the pain.

His heart trembled once more.

But this only made Ye Wanyu even more furious.

”Grandpa Wang, Uncle Liu, let’s take Brother Lu to see Grandpa Lu. This time, we must have Grandpa Lu take action personally! I’d like to see what tricks that Yang Xiao has left to deal with Grandpa Lu!”

Fuming with rage,

Ye Wanyu strode away.

The middle-aged man named Liu picked up Lu Qianfan in one motion and followed her.

Watching the two of them leave,

Wang Tianyi hesitated for a moment, but could only follow.

’This time, I’m afraid things look grim for Miss Wanyu.’
