Chapter 1554: Chapter 1547: Wind, Fire, Mountain, Forest

”Master, it seems that the young master’s current situation is somewhat dire.”

Cangwu looked at the old man in front of him and slowly said, ”After I went to Jiangnan to investigate, I found that the young master has many enemies. The Yang Family and the Tang Family both want to see the young master dead. Moreover, the young master surely knows about their involvement in the siege against Lu Tianzhan and Senior Sister Hong Yan back in the day. He’s definitely not going to let them go, and conflict is inevitable. With the young master’s current strength, opposing the Yang Family and the Tang Family is a sure path to death.”

”Furthermore, I also discovered that the young master once killed the Holy Son of the Church in New York. Knowing the Church’s style, this time, the Holy Daughter has surely come to China for the young master. Additionally, it seems that the American Superhero Team and the people from the Holy Mountain are also starting to make moves, seemingly targeting the Four Symbols Ring in the young master’s possession. Besides this, there’s a mysterious individual called Heavenly God, who has attacked the young master several times. However, this person is too mysterious and leaves no trace, so I’m unable to track him down for now.”

Upon hearing Cangwu’s words, a flash of murderous intent crossed the old man’s face, and his tone was filled with coldness: ”Hmph, the Church and the American Superhero Team clearly haven’t learned enough from the lesson decades ago. They dare to come to China again; it’s as if they have a death wish. And as for the Holy Mountain, those self-proclaimed gods dare to enter China too. Since you’re all here, don’t blame me for being impolite; I’ll keep you all in China.”

Listening to the old man’s words filled with murder, Cangwu said in a deep voice, ”Master, in that case, should I take action and eliminate these factions, the Yang Family and the Tang Family?”

”No need.”

The old man took a deep breath, squinting his eyes as he said, ”The Yang Family and the Tang Family are nothing to fear. Lu Tiankuang hasn’t made a move either, which means Tianxing should be able to handle it.”

”Then should I eliminate the Holy Daughter, the Holy Mountain, and the American Superhero Team? Their combined power is a major threat to the young master,” Cangwu suggested with a hint of murderous intent in his tone, squinting his eyes.

”No need. Let’s not interfere for now; just watch and see how things unfold. Besides, they chose to act in Beijing, and Ji Xingyun won’t stand idly by. However, just in case, when Tianxing goes to Beijing, Cangwu, you go visit Beijing for me and see who dares to lay a finger on my grandson, cut them down for me.”

As those words fell, a fierce aura surged from the old man’s body, carrying a chilling murderous intent.

”Yes, Master. I will definitely ensure the young master’s safety,”

Cangwu nodded respectfully without any hesitation. His life was given by the old man, and in his heart, the old man’s orders were his direction, and as the old man’s grandson, Lu Tianxing was naturally his duty to serve.

Listening to Cangwu, the old man slowly exhaled and looked at Cangwu standing before him like a spear, continuing to speak, ”Cangwu, it’s been almost thirty years since you became my apprentice, hasn’t it?”

”Yes, Master, it’s been twenty-eight years,” Cangwu replied respectfully.

”Twenty-eight years, how quickly time flies. From the day you became my apprentice until now, it’s been twenty-eight years. Twenty-eight years ago, you came into my tutelage, and I taught you the Fenghuo Spear Technique. You’ve practiced it for a full twenty-eight years, and during these years, you haven’t let me down. You’ve mastered it completely, reaching a state of pristine prowess and successfully grasped the Hundred Consecutive Flames. In fact, you might say you’ve surpassed the master. Today, I will teach you the final four moves of the Fenghuo Spear Technique, the ’Wind, Fire, Mountain, Forest’. These are the four ultimate moves I recalibrated after my cultivation was destroyed. Today, I will pass them to you, hoping you will carry them forward.”

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Cangwu’s expression changed, and he immediately said, ”Master, you...”

”Cangwu, I know what you want to say, but I’m all too aware of my condition. I’ve never been able to dispel this hidden wound; my strength is diminishing day by day. Perhaps when my level drops to the Yellow Level, or the Profound Level, that might be the end for me. And, being alive to see that I have a grandson is already satisfying. Besides, you are my direct disciple and my closed-door disciple. If I don’t pass these things on to you, then to whom? Should I take them to the grave with me? Instead, I think it’s better for you to spread these techniques far and wide, so in the future, when people mention the Flame Spreading Spear Technique, they will know about my creation, the four spear techniques, Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest, by Jiang Liufeng.”

After hearing the old man’s words, Cangwu paused in silence for a moment before saying, ”Master, why don’t you pass this spear technique to the young master? Considering the young master’s talent, he might train in it even faster and be stronger than me, with higher achievements in the future.”

The old man glanced at Cangwu and softly said, ”He’s not suited for my spear techniques, because he has already found his own path. He can choose to learn the Fenghuo Spear Technique, but he should not walk down my path. Cangwu, the same goes for you. Although I’ve taught you the Fenghuo Spear Technique, if you truly wish to surpass me, to truly step ahead of me, you must comprehend your own spear momentum and discover your own path, not simply following mine. Otherwise, your achievements in this lifetime will always be in my shadow. Do you understand?”

”Yes, Master, I understand.”

Cangwu nodded, suddenly kneeling on the ground, swearing to the heavens, ”Master, today I, Cangwu, swear to the heavens that from this day forward, I will protect the young master well. No matter who wants to harm the young master, they must step over my dead body. If I break this vow, let heaven and earth destroy me.”’

”Cangwu, you...”

The old man clearly didn’t expect Cangwu to say such words. He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but ultimately sighed and said nothing.

He knew Cangwu’s personality all too well. To put it nicely, he was loyal and devoted; otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken Cangwu as his only closed-door disciple back then. But to put it bluntly, Cangwu was stubborn as a mule. Once he set his mind on something, he wouldn’t change it even if it meant death. Such people are most vulnerable to schemes, just like Li Xunhuan in the novels, whose childhood sweetheart and house got taken away, and in the end, he wandered in distant lands, miserable beyond compare.

The old man sighed again, softly. ”Cangwu, come with me to the training room. While my skills have not completely diminished, I’ll show you the Four Supreme Techniques of Wind, Fire, Mountain, Forest. These are the essence distilled, and the dross discarded from the mastery of the Twenty Needles, Thirty Strikes, and Fifty Poses in the Hundred Consecutive Flames. If you can master them, even when facing Lu Tiankuang’s killer move ’Time as a Blade’, you will be able to stand undefeated. If your skills match Lu Tiankuang’s, you have the ability to break his ’Time as a Blade’.”

With this, the old man walked out of the study with his hands clasped behind his back. Despite his advanced age, his back remained straight like an evergreen pine, unbendable by anything.

Cangwu remained silent. Although his iron mask obscured his expressions, one could sense the excitement and solemnity emanating from him as he followed the old man to the training room.

Meanwhile, in the study at the Lu Family Mansion in Jiangnan, the lights were similarly bright.

Old Master Lu wasn’t asleep at this moment but was sitting in a pavilion chair, leisurely humming a tune, gazing at the moonlit pond’s shimmering surface, lost in thought, leaving people unsure of what he was contemplating.

Suddenly, the soft sound of footsteps came from outside.

Old Master Lu raised his head slowly and looked outward.

A young man walked in from outside, exuding a faint aura of authority throughout his body. Though this authority was far from that of someone who has long held a high position, it still carried a strong oppressive force.

”Haoyue, how come you have time to visit this old man today?” Old Master Lu smiled as he saw Lu Haoyue.

After entering the pavilion, Lu Haoyue respectfully said, ”Grandfather, I came to see you tonight because there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

Old Master Lu immediately smiled after hearing Lu Haoyue’s words. ”What’s on your mind? Tell me about it and I’ll help you think it over.”

”Grandfather, it’s not about Lu Family matters. The Lu Family is already gradually on the right track, and with my father’s assistance at my side, it doesn’t need my interference anymore.”

Lu Haoyu took a deep breath and said, ”I came to find you this time about cousin’s matter.”

”Sit and talk.”

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu immediately stood up from his chair, sat on the stone bench next to it, picked up the teapot from the stone table, poured a cup of tea for himself and Lu Haoyue, took a gentle sip, and slowly said, ”What happened to Tianxing?”

Lu Haoyue pondered for a moment, organized his thoughts, and spoke, ”Grandfather, some time ago, didn’t I discover the Holy Daughter of the Church plotting against cousin? So I arranged for someone to investigate Avril in secret, didn’t I? However, during the investigation, I found that there’s another force secretly looking into cousin’s identity. They even visited the institution that initially authenticated cousin and Third Uncle, questioned the doctors there. However, those doctors were hypnotized and unable to disclose any precise information. But before leaving, they took an authenticated report kept for record.”

”Do you know who they are?”

Old Master Lu spoke gravely, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. If some force harbored ill intentions, he wouldn’t hesitate to unsheathe his blade once more to show everyone what the Southern Blade means.
