245: Let the Wu family come to the East Region to see our boss in person.

Li Chengxing's humiliating words caused Wu Jiu's slightly hunched body to suddenly freeze in place.

At this moment, Wu Jiu slowly raised his eyes, staring intently at Li Chengxing, his eyes burning with raging fury.

After a breath, Wu Jiu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Li Chengxing, you!"

This bastard Li Chengxing actually humiliated him so mercilessly.

This was not just a personal offense to him; it was clearly trampling the Wu Family's dignity underfoot, completely disregarding any consideration.

One must know that he had already explained his purpose to Li Chengxing.

He was entrusted by the Ancestor of the Wu Family to come on behalf of the Wu Family to find Lu Xuan.

Li Chengxing seemed not to notice Wu Jiu's full-blown anger, his expression full of disdain, not taking it seriously at all.

A mere Grand Elder of the Wu Family, an old immortal who had reached Major Achievement in Outer Strength Grandmaster, was not qualified to lecture him.

As for the Wu Family's reputation, Li Chengxing cared even less; their Li Family would not fear the Wu Family's influence.

Li Chengxing casually clasped his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, his gaze directly fixed on Wu Jiu.

It was as if Wu Jiu in front of him was nothing more than an insignificant, annoying fly.

Immediately after, Li Chengxing's lips parted slightly, and he spoke with utter indifference.

"Wu Jiu, this Lord doesn't have that much time to waste. Quickly leave this Lord's presence."

"Otherwise, even if you are from the Wu Family, this Lord will still be impolite to you."

At this moment, a thick, almost overflowing killing intent flashed in Wu Jiu's sunken eye sockets.

That killing intent, wrapped in the Gale Force within Wu Jiu's body, swept out like a ghastly fire in the cold night, chilling and terrifying.

But at the moment this killing intent appeared, Wu Jiu's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of his surroundings.

Seeing the Blackbird Guard surrounding him like an iron barrel, his sharp killing intent quickly vanished and receded, returning to its normal state.

Good!

Li Chengxing, you are ruthless!

This Old Ancestor will endure it!

Wu Jiu knew very well that this place was not the Wu Family's territory but the headquarters of the Great Xia Dynasty's Blackbird Guard.

Even though he was a member of the Eight Great Families, Wu Jiu would never dare to act recklessly or fight at the gate of the Celestial Capital Xuan Bird Guard headquarters.

This irrational action would undoubtedly bring trouble upon himself.

Of course, there was an even more crucial factor.

It was that Li Chengxing, currently before him, also came from the Li Family, one of the Eight Great Families.

Although Li Chengxing appeared as old and decrepit as him, in terms of age, Li Chengxing was more than two hundred years younger than him.

Most importantly, Li Chengxing's martial Dao Realm was far superior to his own.

The disparity in strength between the two left Wu Jiu feeling a sense of powerlessness.

Ultimately, it came down to one simple and clear statement.

He, Wu Jiu, simply couldn't defeat Li Chengxing.

At this moment, Wu Jiu's heart was filled with resentment. These past few days, ever since he stepped out of the Wu Family's gate,

he seemed to have had the worst luck, constantly being humiliated by martial Dao juniors.

Especially that bastard kid; just thinking of him made Wu Jiu's lungs feel like they were about to explode from anger.

Who else could that bastard kid be besides Lu Xuan?

The name Lu Xuan was like a sharp thorn, deeply embedded in Wu Jiu's heart.

Every time he thought of it, it added a few more points to his hatred.

"Li Chengxing, this Old Ancestor will not bother with you for now!"

Wu Jiu suppressed his raging anger and shouted at the top of his lungs, the wrinkles on his face tightening with fury.

"Quickly make Lu Xuan come out to see me!"

"This Old Ancestor is here on behalf of the Wu Family to have a good discussion with him!"

Li Chengxing stood in front of Wu Jiu, and upon hearing this, his brows instantly furrowed into a ' river' shape.

The next moment, the profound Gale Force within Li Chengxing's body quietly began to circulate.

His terrifying Aura surged violently, like a turbulent undercurrent.

In an instant, a frightening Aura swept out powerfully from Li Chengxing's body.

The invisible air around him was slightly distorted by this powerful Aura.

Everyone's clothes present rustled under a mysterious strong wind.

Wu Jiu also noticed Li Chengxing's actions at this moment, his heart tightened, and then he flew into a rage, suddenly shouting loudly: "Li Chengxing, have you thought this through!"

"If this Old Ancestor doesn't see Lu Xuan this time, the next one to come will be the Ancestor of the Wu Family!"

Wu Jiu roared while taking a step forward, his old face ashen, his eyes wide, staring intently at Li Chengxing.

The Ancestor of the Wu Family wants to personally find Old Lu?

Li Chengxing's originally poised and tense Aura instantly seemed to hit a pause button, coming to a halt.

At the same time, Li Chengxing couldn't help but feel suspicious, pondering to himself.

If the Ancestor of the Wu Family were looking for him, Li Chengxing wouldn't mind.

But if the Ancestor of the Wu Family truly sought out Old Lu, then things would become troublesome.

Although Old Lu possessed the strength of a Nascent Soul True Person, the Ancestor of the Wu Family was a thorough old monster, an existence who had lived for an unknown number of years.

What if…

The more Li Chengxing thought about it, the more he felt the matter was thorny, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

How about…

Thoughts raced through Li Chengxing's mind, weighing countless pros and cons.

Forget it!

It's better to ask Old Lu's opinion first. After all, this matter is of great importance, and Li Chengxing doesn't want to see Old Lu get into trouble.

Hmph!

Ancestor of the Wu Family?

Old Lu is an ally of our Li Family. If the Wu Family wants to touch him, they'll have to get past our Li Family first.

As early as when Lu Xuan was in Baidao Prefecture, An Prefecture, Southern Region, the Li Family Old Ancestor had already given Li Chengxing an order.

He could use all the Li Family's power to form an alliance with Lu Xuan.

Even, if necessary, Li Chengxing could enter the Ancestral Temple Forbidden Ground and personally have the Li Family Old Ancestor take action.

Once Li Chengxing made up his mind, he no longer hesitated, and the previously turbulent Gale Force instantly calmed down.

And the frightening Aura around Li Chengxing also dissipated accordingly.

After Li Chengxing's peripheral vision swept over Wu Jiu, his expression became stern, and he ordered the Blackbird Guard beside him.

"You few, watch him leave!"

As soon as his voice fell, Li Chengxing's figure flashed, disappearing like a ghost, leaving only a sentence echoing in the air.

"Wu Jiu, leave this Lord's presence immediately!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Jiu's old face, which had been ashen with anger, finally slowly pulled into a sinister, sneering grin.

His gaze, like a venomous snake, stared intently at the direction Li Chengxing had departed, as if wanting to burn a hole through that retreating figure.

Hmph!

That brat Lu Xuan, although his martial Dao talent is a Prodigy, in front of the Ancestor of the Wu Family, he is still like an ant that can be easily crushed.

Thinking of having the Ancestor of the Wu Family as his backing, the sinister grin on Wu Jiu's old face spread across his wrinkled face, appearing particularly hideous and terrifying.

Damn junior, how dare you snatch my Moon Chasing Staff!

Wu Jiu finally cast a deep, resentful, and greedy glance at the Blackbird Guard standing by in strict formation.

Those damned bastards of the Li Family are so favored by that one, holding an undeniable position within this Blackbird Guard.

While his own Family, after countless hardships, had barely managed to secure two Earth-Grade Blackbird Guard positions and some insignificant Xuan Niao Guard Mystic Envoy positions.

These positions simply could not compare to Li Chengxing, this high-ranking Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard.

Immediately, Wu Jiu slowly turned around, his back slightly hunched, his steps slow, and he hobbled away along the path he had come.

As Wu Jiu walked, he was already certain he would see Lu Xuan, so he was now completely without worry.

In his view, no matter how powerful Lu Xuan was, he could not contend with the deeply entrenched Wu Family.

Wu Jiu firmly believed Lu Xuan was a smart person.

Even if Lu Xuan possessed heaven-reaching abilities, like a living Dragon in the world,

he would still have to meekly prostrate himself before the great mountain of the Wu Family, not daring to act presumptuously.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, any struggle seemed futile.

On the other side, after Li Chengxing entered the depths of the Blackbird Guard's main hall, he walked directly to one side and sat down on a chair.

As soon as Li Chengxing sat down, he showed no intention of resting for a moment.

He swiftly reached into his embrace and quickly pulled out the identity token symbolizing a Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard.

The crimson crystal token glowed with a dazzling red light under the dim light of the hall.

Because, a few hours earlier, Lu Xuan had sent him a message, saying he would be leaving Tiandu for a period of time.

Therefore, Li Chengxing immediately took out the Psychic Red Crystal Token and used it to send a message to Lu Xuan.

Above the border of the Central Region, the sky was vast and boundless, with clouds surging like waves.

Lu Xuan, who had left Tiandu, stood amidst these boundless clouds.

The Void Realm under Lu Xuan's feet seemed like solid ground, allowing him to advance steadily and leisurely.

Each step he took, seemingly effortless and ordinary, silently stirred ripples of space-time interweaving.

In an instant, the scenery around Lu Xuan changed rapidly, and the mountains, rivers, and lakes beneath the cloud dome swept past like ghostly phantoms.

"Is it Old Li?"

Lu Xuan's heart suddenly stirred, as if he had sensed something.

The next moment, a crimson rainbow light shot out from Lu Xuan's chest like lightning, so fast that the naked eye could barely catch it.

Immediately after, under the control of Lu Xuan's Primordial Spirit power, the crimson rainbow light slowly condensed and transformed in the air.

In the blink of an eye, an extremely blurry white phantom appeared out of thin air, reflected in the layers of clouds.

The outline of this blurry human phantom gradually became clear, with distinct features, and it was none other than Li Chengxing's appearance.

At this moment, Li Chengxing's phantom quietly floated before Lu Xuan, as if it had broken through the boundaries of space, instantly closing the distance between the two.

Li Chengxing's expression was solemn, his brows tightly furrowed. The moment he saw Lu Xuan, he had no intention of exchanging pleasantries, speaking directly, his voice low and urgent.

"Old Lu, someone from the Wu Family wants to see you!"

Li Chengxing's few short words were like a heavy hammer, striking the seemingly calm cloud Realm.

Wu Family?

Upon hearing this, a fleeting hint of surprise flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes, and his originally calm gaze instantly rippled.

Why would the Wu Family be looking for him at this time?

This news came somewhat suddenly, catching Lu Xuan off guard for a moment.

"Old Lu, have you formed any grievances with someone from the Wu Family?"

"If that's the case, Old Lu, please rest assured, our Li Family will definitely support you with all our might."

"The Wu Family is not qualified to touch an ally of our Li Family."

Lu Xuan turned a deaf ear to the latter half of Li Chengxing's words; his thoughts at this moment were like a runaway horse, entirely focused on the Wu Family's arrival.

Lu Xuan quickly sifted through faces in his mind, finally stopping at a purple-robed elder.

"Could it be him?"

Up to now, Lu Xuan had only encountered three people from the Wu Family.

Two of the Wu Family members had completely turned into dust under his attack.

There was also a purple-robed elder who seemed to have mysterious regenerative abilities and had escaped right under his nose.

Lu Xuan remembered learning from Prince An's maid, Chen Luomeng, that the elder's name was something like…

Wu Jiu!

Interesting, could it be that this Wu Jiu still has the guts to come before him?

He had always wanted to refine the bronze staff in his hand into System points.

Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he stared directly at Li Chengxing's white phantom, asking slowly with a hint of certainty.

"Old Li, is the person from the Wu Family who wants to see me named Wu Jiu?"

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's question, Li Chengxing didn't hesitate at all, nor did he intend to delve into why Lu Xuan knew, blurting out: "Yes!"

Such a concise word caused Lu Xuan's lips to curve slightly upward uncontrollably, revealing a meaningful arc.

He murmured softly: "Interesting!"

Lu Xuan pondered for a while, wondering what the Wu Family was up to, daring to send Wu Jiu to see him.

After a moment, Lu Xuan still decided to meet this Wu Jiu and see what the Wu Family, one of the Eight Great Families, was plotting.

"Tell him to come to Eastern Region Wentai Prefecture. I'll wait for him in Mingxin Prefecture!"

…..

One day later!

Eastern Region Wentai Prefecture, Mingxin Prefecture Fu City!

Within the Fu City, there was a mansion that, viewed from afar, was vast and magnificent, exuding luxury and grandeur.

Deep within the mansion, a serene courtyard was like a secluded paradise, isolating itself from the outside world's clamor.

Inside the main house of the courtyard, a man who appeared to be around thirty years old had a handsome face.

His temperament was gentle, and his every move exuded an elegant demeanor, truly the image of a righteous gentleman.

However, at this moment, the venomous words that escaped his lips were in stark contrast to his gentlemanly facade.

"That damned woman, if she's dead, then she's dead."

"A mere lowly maid, daring to defy my will."

"And you, for that lowly maid, actually want to take my life, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The gaze shifted to the bed in front of the man, where a blurry silhouette came into view.

The woman was dressed in exquisite robes, made of superior fabric with fine embroidery, shimmering with a soft glow under the candlelight.

However, her Aura was weak at this moment, and her delicate body trembled slightly, like a flickering candle in the wind, threatening to extinguish at any moment.
