Chapter 1130: Chapter 1123: The Liang Family’s Response

The end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the sunshine was no longer so scorching. A cool breeze brushed by, giving a sense of clear and refreshing autumn weather.

Jiangnan, Liang Family Mansion.

At this moment, the atmosphere within the Liang family was as tense as it could get. Many of the Liang family’s maids and servants hurriedly walked back and forth, not daring to linger, while the bodyguards bore expressions of grave seriousness, their icy intensity so thick it was almost unbreakable. Their eyes scanned the surroundings sharply as if they were hawks.

Right now, in the main hall of the Liang family, people were densely seated. There were men and women, old and young, and virtually the entire Liang family was gathered without exception. All these men and women bore a look of unease and restlessness, a sense of being unable to sit still.

Liang Wanqing sat coldly at the head seat, with several elders surrounding him, each emitting a strong aura. Their expressions were seriously grave; these elders were the revered elders of the Liang family.

Currently, the atmosphere in the whole hall was so oppressive it was almost suffocating.

Lu Tianxing had forcefully entered the Lu family, using dominating means to kill everyone who dared to provoke him within the Lu family. The news, that he was carrying Liang Family’s young master all the way towards the Liang family, spread like a whirlwind throughout Jiangnan.

For outsiders, this was merely a lively event, but for the Liang family, it was a disastrous piece of news. Without the Yang family’s support, the Liang family would have no standing to compare with the Lu family. Now that the Lu family was coming, it could very well mean extermination.

”Family Head, you should say something. What on earth is going on? Why is the Lu family suddenly attacking your Liang family, even capturing the young master? Wasn’t it said that the young master was just going to the Lu family to watch the excitement? Family Head, what’s really happening? Aren’t you going to give us an explanation?”

A Liang family elder was the first to break the silence, staring aggressively at Liang Wanqing. They knew nothing about the Liang and Lu families turning against each other. If they had known beforehand, they would never have stayed with the Lu family.

”Explanation? What’s there to explain? You knew about my scheme against them, didn’t you? You didn’t stop it, and now you’re blaming me?” Liang Wanqing’s tone was chilly, yet he did not reveal the cooperation between the Liang and Yang families. If he did, they wouldn’t even need the Lu family; the Yang family would wipe out the Liang family.

”You...”

The Liang family elder wanted to say something but was interrupted by another elder, ”Li Xian, we knew about this, but who would have thought the Lu family would really trace it back to us. Now, the priority is to think about how to deal with the Lu family, not infighting; otherwise, we’ll all be dead.”

”Fight with the Lu family? With what? You know how strong Lu Tiankuang is. We wouldn’t be enough for even one strike.”

Another Liang family elder spoke, his tone filled with strong pessimism. They knew the Lu family’s way of handling matters; facing even one Lu Tiankuang meant they couldn’t escape.

”It’s been over twenty years. Lu Tiankuang hasn’t made a move in over twenty years. Who knows if he has taken the last step and become an Earthly Immortal. Even then, at the late stage of Mythical, we can’t stand against him even if we team up.”

”Yes, but we simply can’t escape. With Lu Tiankuang’s protective nature, he won’t let us go.”

The discussion among the Liang family elders broke the original quiet of the hall, suddenly making it noisy. Everyone turned their eyes to Liang Wanqing, voicing out.

”Family Head, make a decision quickly. What do we do next? The Lu family, that is the Lu family. They could easily destroy us, and none of us could be his match.”

”Grandfather, make a decision quickly! If it’s really impossible, let’s run! As long as there are green hills, there’s no fear of running out of wood. As long as we’re alive, even if the Liang family is destroyed, we can start over.”

”Yes, Dad, we don’t have much time left. If we wait any longer, when the Lu family comes, we’re really going to die.”

Everyone’s face showed a trace of panic. The scene of Lu Tiankuang, alone with a knife, causing chaos in Beijing remained fresh in their minds, making them not dare to oppose the Lu family.

Liang Wanqing sat in his seat, his brows tightly furrowed. He felt a buzzing in his ears, making his expression immediately become even uglier, and his mood more irritable.

”Enough, all of you, shut up.”

Finally unable to bear it, Liang Wanqing slapped the table heavily.

”Bang!”

A redwood table was shattered into pieces, with splintered wood shooting outwards, embedding into the floor with sharp sounds.

”Noise, noise, noise, what else can you do besides make noise all day? Do you think we can still escape now?”

Liang Wanqing’s eyes were somewhat bloodshot, like an enraged viper, and he coldly said, ”Now that the Lu family knows it’s all us behind this, do you think the Lu family will spare us? I’m afraid we would be dead before we even left Jiangnan. Besides, what are you panicking about? Didn’t the outside send back news? Only Lu Tianxing is coming to our Liang family, not Lu Tiankuang. Lu Tianxing is just an early-stage Mythical person. Are we, three middle-stage Mythical, afraid of him, a mere young brat? Since he dares to come, then we should capture him. As long as we have Lu Tianxing in our hands, the Lu family won’t dare to act recklessly.”

”Elder Han, you’re middle-stage Mythical, capturing Lu Tianxing later is your task. As long as you capture Lu Tianxing for me, our Liang family will surely reward you handsomely.” Liang Wanqing said with a slightly crazed expression.

”Family Head, leave it to me.”

The named elder nodded. He knew very well, as Liang Wanqing said, he couldn’t escape. Before he fled Jiangnan, he would likely already be dead. Since the Lu family took action, they would certainly be ruthless. Instead of being killed, it was better to fight back.

Once they capture Lu Tianxing, the Lu family might hesitate in fear, not daring to act rashly.

...

Just as the members of the Liang family gathered in the hall for discussions, Lu Tianxing was already carrying Liang Shidao and appeared within the vicinity of the Liang family, walking step by step towards them.

”Big brother, why do you think our family has suddenly summoned everyone back today?”

Several Liang family disciples stationed at the gate discussed among themselves, ”I’ve never seen our Liang family suddenly gather everyone before, even the elders in seclusion came out. Do you think it has something to do with the Lu family?”
