My Cultivation Was Wasted at the Beginning, and My Side Effects Were Transferred

23: Kill Lu Zhenying and take over the Lu family“Lu Fengming, you’re formidable, but I, Lu Zhenying, am the Lu Family Head. How about we make a deal instead?”

Though filled with confusion and hatred, Lu Zhenying possessed one crucial characteristic.

That was his decisive resolve.

Seeing that the situation was unsalvageable, Lu Zhenying decisively chose to back down and preserve himself.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fengming chuckled and said, “I wonder what kind of deal you want to make with me.”

No sooner had he spoken than Lu Fengming’s figure transformed into a streak of light.

In an instant, he had already appeared before Lu Zhenying.

“I am the dignified Lu Family Head. If you spare me this time, I can promise to let you return to the Lu family, and I can even establish you as the Young Master of the Lu family. In the future, the entire Lu family will be yours.”

After saying all this, Lu Zhenying raised his head, looking at Lu Fengming with pleading eyes.

He believed that with such generous conditions offered, the other party had no reason to refuse.

Of course, Lu Zhenying’s move was merely a delaying tactic.

As long as his father, that Nascent Soul Ninth Stage expert, arrived, he would surely be able to kill Lu Fengming and avenge himself.

“Your offer is indeed tempting, but…”

“But what?”

“But to me, it holds no appeal whatsoever.”

As he spoke, Lu Fengming kicked Lu Zhenying’s chest, shattering it.

With a single kick, he had crushed all life force in the other party’s body.

This Lu Family Head, a Nascent Soul Realm expert, had actually met his end in such a way.

Even with his eyes unfocused and his life lost, a look of utter disbelief remained in them.

He seemingly hadn’t expected that he, Lu Zhenying, would fall here, that he would die by Lu Fengming’s hand.

Just then, a system prompt sounded in Lu Fengming’s mind.

Ding! The Host has killed Lu Family Head Lu Zhenying. The Host has gained 80,000 evil points.

Hearing this sound, Lu Fengming couldn’t help but curl his lips.

As expected of the Lu Family Head, a Nascent Soul Fifth Stage expert.

80,000 evil points.

This was the highest amount of evil points Lu Fengming had ever received at once.

It did not disappoint Lu Fengming.

He casually took off Lu Zhenying’s storage ring and put it in his pocket.

Lu Fengming turned his head and set his gaze on the various high-ranking members of the Lu family.

The Lu family’s high-ranking members watched with wide eyes. Lu Zhenying, the Lu Family Head, lay dead on the ground, and beside him was the Lu family’s Grand Elder, Lu Ju.

Each and every one of them was already scared witless.

Whether it was the Lu family’s Grand Elder, Lu Ju, or the Lu Family Head, Lu Zhenying, both were Nascent Soul Realm experts.

That was the Nascent Soul Realm, not comparable to the Golden Core Realm.

Yet, Lu Fengming could instantly kill both the Lu Family Head and the Lu family’s Grand Elder with a single move.

The gap between them was simply an unbridgeable chasm, like a vast gulf.

How could these people easily overcome it?

“Only now do you know fear? Isn’t it a bit late?”

Lu Fengming scanned the Lu family’s high-ranking members, who stood stunned and trembled with fear, a hint of sarcasm on his lips as he spoke in a cold tone.

Hearing these words made the bodies of the Lu family’s high-ranking members shiver involuntarily.

“Lu Fengming, we know we were wrong. Please spare our lives.”

“Yes, this has nothing to do with us. It was all the Family Head’s idea. We are all innocent.”

“Mercy! I’m just an irrelevant person, spare me!”

…

The Lu family’s high-ranking members all knelt on the ground, wailing and crying.

They had completely lost their usual high and mighty authoritative demeanor.

Their expressions were terrified, and they continuously kowtowed, begging for mercy.

“Mercy? When you conspired to harm me back then, did you ever consider that there would be a day like this?”

Lu Fengming’s tone was chilling as he snorted coldly.

Upon hearing this, the bodies of the high-ranking members of the Lu family trembled again.

Their faces turned green then purple, filled with regret, wishing they could slap themselves twice.

It wasn’t regret for opposing Lu Fengming and conspiring to harm him then.

Instead, it was regret that after Lu Fengming’s cultivation was crippled, they didn’t cut the grass by the roots and get rid of him then and there.

Alas.

There was no medicine for regret in the world.

They weren’t decisive enough then, didn’t cut the grass by the roots, which led to today’s disaster.

Learn from past mistakes.

Lu Fengming naturally wouldn’t follow their example; he would see to it that the grass was cut by the roots.

“Alright, take your regrets and go to hell.”

As he spoke, a powerful force erupted from Lu Fengming’s body.

It instantly enveloped a dozen or so high-ranking members of the Lu family.

“Ah ah ah…”

“Ah ah ah…”

Only a series of screams were heard. The high-ranking members of the Lu family had no ability to resist whatsoever.

One by one, they fell to the ground, losing their precious lives.

Ding! The Host has killed a high-ranking member of the Lu family. The Host has gained 5,000 evil points.

Ding! The Host has killed a high-ranking member of the Lu family. The Host has gained 8,000 evil points.

Ding! The Host has killed a high-ranking member of the Lu family. The Host has gained 10,000 evil points.

…

The system’s continuous prompts rang out, one after another, for about 10 times.

Lu Fengming’s ears were buzzing slightly from the sound.

Yet, this sound was like heavenly music; no matter how unpleasant, Lu Fengming was overjoyed.

Although these people didn’t provide Lu Fengming with many evil points.

All of them combined were not enough to compare with the evil points provided by Lu Zhenying.

A mosquito’s leg is still meat.

Lu Fengming didn’t mind having too many evil points under his control.

Killing Lu Zhenying and Lu Ju, plus eliminating all high-ranking members of the Lu family.

These three gains had already brought Lu Fengming close to 200,000 evil points.

This time, it was truly a bountiful harvest.

Coming back to his senses, Lu Fengming took all the storage rings from those high-ranking Lu family members and Lu Ju’s ring.

He then turned his gaze to the younger generation of the Lu family and the experts recruited by the Lu family, a hint of playful amusement on his face.

“Considering I’ve been in the Lu family for over ten years, I can give you a chance. As long as you kill all these Lu family disciples and then submit to me, Lu Fengming, becoming my dogs, you will have a chance to live.”

“Otherwise, you will be annihilated along with the Lu family.”

Lu Fengming looked at the various experts of the Lu family, speaking in a calm, emotionless tone.

These people were all experts recruited by the Lu family; they were not true Lu family members, and their loyalty to the Lu family was limited.

If they were sensible, Lu Fengming wouldn’t mind keeping a few dogs to help him bite people.

If they weren’t sensible, then they shouldn’t blame him for being ruthless.

The many Lu family experts looked at each other upon hearing this.

If they didn’t kill the Lu family disciples, they would be killed by Lu Fengming.

But if they did kill these Lu family disciples, once the Lu Family Old Ancestor returned, they probably wouldn’t have a good end either.

It was just a matter of dying sooner or later.

After some thought, everyone came to a conclusion, fixing their gaze on the Lu family disciples, their eyes gleaming.

“You… what do you want to do?”

“I warn you, you are people recruited by my Lu family. Do you intend to betray the Lu family?”

…

The Lu family disciples saw their actions.

They seemed to have anticipated what was about to happen, and fear showed on their faces.

At this point, they still tried to use the Lu family’s name to scare them.

“Kill!”

Among the crowd, an unknown person let out a loud shout.

The experts recruited by the Lu family all drew their blades.

Screams constantly rang out, endless to the ear.

Outside the Lu family’s gates, blood flowed like a river, and corpses lay strewn across the ground.

Along with these screams came the system prompts in Lu Fengming’s mind.

Ding! Because of the Host, the Host has gained 500 evil points for killing Lu family disciples.

Ding! Because of the Host, the Host has gained 800 evil points for killing Lu family disciples.

…

A series of system prompts kept coming.

Scattered, they provided Lu Fengming with nearly 5,000 evil points.

Before long, all the Lu family disciples had already fallen in pools of blood, meeting their demise.

“Good, you did well.”

“Now go immediately and gather all the Lu family experts and Lu family disciples, have them assemble here.”

“Yes… Yes, sir.”

The Lu family experts hurriedly lowered their heads, looking subservient, no longer displaying their previous arrogant demeanor.

“Heh heh…”

Watching the Lu family experts leave, a hint of amusement showed on Lu Fengming’s face.

He didn’t pay them any mind, instead walking towards the Lu family mansion.

As the foremost noble family of the Tianyan Dynasty, the Lu family had an extremely deep foundation.

Presumably, the treasures within would not disappoint him.
