Capítulo 1381: Chapter 1374: This Is What I Owe Him

Lu Tianxing heard Old Master Lu’s words, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Old Master Lu’s appearance, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. The remaining bit of Sword Qi could no longer cause any damage to Old Master Lu.

Old Master Lu did not speak again, he just closed his eyes, his True Qi surged around him, clanging loudly, furiously gathering towards his Dantian. A trace of immense aura emitted from his body but remained concentrated and did not dissipate outside the room. He had control over his aura and True Qi to an astonishing degree.

Under the pressure of this aura, Lu Tianxing involuntarily retreated several steps, activating the Creation Source Technique to resist the aura.

Even so, Lu Tianxing still felt a sense of heart-pounding nervousness. Under Old Master Lu’s aura pressure, he felt as if he had no power to retaliate and could be killed by a single blow from Old Master Lu. Strictly speaking, this power no longer belonged to the late stage of Mythical Level; it was almost infinitely close to the invincible realm of an Earthly Immortal.

Lu Tianxing’s face showed a hint of astonishment. He finally understood why as long as Old Master Lu lived, those families in Beijing dared not make a move. This was true deterrence by strength. As long as Old Master Lu did not die, no one dared to touch the Lu Family because no family would want to offend an invincible Mythical Level Martial Artist. He now finally understood why those families had exhausted all efforts to kill his father and, even today, are hell-bent on annihilating the Lu Family.

The Lu Family’s monstrous genius, once grown, would be truly terrifying. If you couldn’t kill this monstrous genius, you would ultimately face his maniacal revenge. The revenge of a late-stage Mythical is not something everyone can withstand. Even if you kill him, the price you pay would be unimaginable unless you have absolute power to crush him. Otherwise, if not killed, he could escape, leaving endless troubles.

“Yang Shenxing, you schemed against me for over twenty years with a plan to exchange injury for life. You wanted my life and to destroy the Lu Family. Unfortunately, you were ultimately one move short. This time, I won.”

Old Master Lu muttered softly, his True Qi surging, a rumbling sound in his Dantian. His mouth swelled immediately, and when he suddenly opened it, a sharp, slender Sword Qi the thickness of a chopstick was sprayed out, blasting onto the ground. In an instant, the originally hard ground was pierced through, creating a bottomless hole.

With the expulsion of the last bit of Sword Qi, Old Master Lu’s aura became increasingly rich. Although this aura gave an unstable feeling, it clearly was continuously strengthening. The vast aura emanated from Old Master Lu’s body without any obscurity.

“Grandpa, has your body recovered?”

Lu Tianxing saw Old Master Lu’s appearance, a hint of joy on his face.

“Not yet, but with a good period of rest, there should be no major issues. Living for another ten years shouldn’t be a problem.”

Old Master Lu laughed heartily, stretched his body, feeling unprecedentedly relaxed. He looked at Lu Tianxing and said, “Tianxing, keep my recovery a secret for now.”

Upon hearing Old Master Lu’s words, Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned and asked, “Grandpa, are you planning to play along with their plan?”

“Yes.”

Old Master Lu’s mouth showed a cold smile, “I’ve had a plan for a long time. Since this Sword Qi wanted my life, I’ll fake my death to draw out all the hidden threats. Before dying, I’ll go completely mad. Even if I can’t kill them, I’ll cripple them. Now, even though my body has recovered, I can’t let them go easily. This time, I’ll make sure they are utterly destroyed.”

A fierce killing intent flashed in Old Master Lu’s eyes. This was his original plan. He had intended to settle the Lu Family before engaging in a life-and-death battle with the Yang Family and others. Even if it meant death, he wanted to cripple them completely. Unfortunately, time was not on his side, and he was suddenly heavily injured in a sneak attack. Without Lu Tianxing, the Lu Family might indeed have been destroyed, but now, without any concerns, what is there to fear?

“I understand, Grandpa. Tell me what to do.”

Lu Tianxing nodded and was not at all surprised. Strictly speaking, his character was similar to Old Master Lu’s. Now that someone had come to their door, if they still hesitated, what was the point of this family existing? A family that wishes to endure forever cannot rely on weakness.

“Do not disclose this matter for now. Except for Lu Chuan, the Lu Family Guards, and those we trust like Zhiqing, don’t tell anyone, not even Haoyue. Especially don’t let Hongda know about my faked death.” Old Master Lu took a deep breath and said.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Tianxing hesitated slightly and said, “Grandpa, since you know that Uncle… ”

Before Lu Tianxing could finish, Old Master Lu seemed to know Lu Tianxing’s thoughts and had already started speaking, “Tianxing, you want to ask why I tolerate your uncle despite knowing he covets the position of Family Head, right?”

Lu Tianxing said nothing, just nodded slightly. From what Old Master Lu said earlier, he understood that the old man was well aware of everything Lu Hongda had done, but he was very curious why Old Master Lu allowed Lu Hongda to act with impunity despite knowing this.

“Because I owe it.”

Old Master Lu sighed softly, his voice carrying an irrepressible sadness, “I think you’ve heard some rumors; Hongda is not my biological son but my elder brother’s. When I was young and reckless, I offended many people, even causing a family to launch a death attack on me, not stopping until one of us was dead. If it hadn’t been for my elder brother blocking a fatal blow for me, I would have died long ago. After my elder brother’s death, my sister-in-law passed away from grief not long after, leaving only Hongda who was just a month old. I took him back and treated him as my own son. It’s hard to believe it’s been forty or fifty years now.”

With that, Old Master Lu sighed softly again.

Listening to Old Master Lu, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. He finally understood why Old Master Lu repeatedly tolerated Lu Hongda’s recklessness. It must have been based on his guilt towards Lu Hongda’s family, otherwise, given the old man’s character, he would never have allowed Lu Hongda’s behavior to go unchecked.

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s expression, Old Master Lu spoke again, “Tianxing, Grandpa hopes you can agree to one thing for me.”
