Chapter 1137: If You Can't Produce Lu Xiu, Don't Blame Me for Being Ruthless

During her time in Great Han, Gongyang Qingrou had never once stopped looking at her phone.

The things she absorbed from the online world made her understand what kind of environment she had been living in before.

If she had never been to Great Han, perhaps she would have been content.

But having been to Great Han, she now understood what kind of awareness a girl should have under proper modern education.

And what kind of trash those people from her past truly were.

Compared to Lu Ding, they were... well, the difference between a human and a banana, sharing only about forty to sixty percent genetic similarity. As for the rest, no comment. Negative reviews would be deleted.

Because of her experiences, her obsessions, her background, and so on.

All of these had caused Gongyang Qingrou, even with her current achievements, to still harbor feelings of inferiority deep within her heart. For example, when she used to face Lu Ding's father, Lu Teng.

Now standing by Lu Ding's side.

She only felt that Lu Ding's confidence was dazzling, yet warm.

"May I copy a copy of this?"

Lu Ding: "Senior Gongyang, please feel free. But before that, I'd appreciate it if you could ask where Lu Xiu is. I need to go have a heart-to-heart talk with him."

Gongyang Qingrou began forming hand seals with her fingers as she spoke: "A bit out of practice. We've known each other for quite some time now. I'm older than you, so if you don't mind, you can call me Auntie, whichever way suits you, or Sister, or just my name."

Lu Ding found this very strange and naturally shifted a step away, as if to get a better view of the landscape.

"Okay, Senior Gongyang."

As Gongyang Qingrou's spell seals were cast out.

On the other side.

The Lu Family.

Lu Xiu was currently receiving cultivation guidance from his father, Lu Teng.

But his mind was elsewhere. After receiving the message from Gongyang Qingrou, his thoughts scattered as he couldn't help but wonder: "Why would she suddenly ask where I am?"

"Could the mission be complete? Is Lu Ding dead!!!?"

"No, that's wrong!"

Recently, he had been deliberately and casually asking his father about Lu Ding's current situation.

Lu Teng, although he hadn't made any major moves against Lu Ding yet, still had Lu Family scouts stationed in Great Han collecting information on him.

And during these inquiries, Lu Xiu heard his father's worried response, saying that Lü Mountain had a connection with Lu Ding. Now that Great Han and Lü Mountain had established diplomatic relations, Lu Ding was going on an ambassadorial mission.

This information was nothing short of a thunderbolt from clear skies for both Lu Teng and Lu Xiu.

The Lu Family knew of Lü Mountain, but they didn't understand it, and couldn't even get a foothold with them.

After all, with that fearsome reputation, a force that had carved out and isolated an entire continent for itself, how could some rumors not leak out?

Now Lü Mountain had ties with Great Han, and Lu Ding had ties with Lü Mountain. That meant if Lu Ding returned to the Lu Family... many of their methods could no longer be used.

Lu Teng had sighed at the time.

When Lu Xiu heard all this, he felt a mixture of envy, jealousy, and fear.

Although he didn't know how Lu Ding had managed to forge a connection with Lü Mountain, he was terrified that Lu Ding would use Lü Mountain's influence to return to the Lu Family. In that case, he, who was already behind Lu Ding, would never catch up in this lifetime.

At the same time, they envied and resented Lu Ding for being able to connect with an existence like Lü Mountain.

Why couldn't that person be him!?

And now Gongyang Qingrou had suddenly sent such a message...

Nothing bad could have happened, right?

Well, it definitely couldn't be Lu Ding in trouble. He'd even gone to Lü Mountain. Lu Ding was too prominent now, he couldn't be killed!

His distracted state caught Lu Teng's attention: "Xiu'er, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Xiu chose not to respond to the message: "Nothing, Father. I'm sorry, I just got distracted. I was thinking that if it were Big Brother receiving your guidance, he would definitely be even better than me."

"It's because I'm useless."

At the mention of Lu Ding, Lu Teng immediately lost the mood to continue.

"Sigh... your big brother... his heart is wild. It's my fault too. My wrong decision back then, and now I don't know how to make it right."

"Alright, if you're tired, go rest for a while."

Lu Teng turned around. The emotions in Lu Xiu's eyes shifted noticeably.

He turned and headed toward the location of the Lu Family Patriarch and the others. No matter what, staying close to the Patriarch couldn't be wrong.

Even if something happened, don't tell him, go tell the Lu Family Patriarch instead.

Meanwhile, on the flying vessel.

Gongyang Qingrou's voice sounded: "He still hasn't replied."

Lu Ding: "Fine. The monk can run away, but the temple can't. We'll go directly to the Lu Family and demand they hand him over. Let them go find him. If they can't produce Lu Xiu today..."

As he spoke, a murderous glint flashed through Lu Ding's eyes.

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless!!!!"

The flying vessel descended, breaking through the clouds. Ten thousand demons formed an army, traversing the territory of the Demon Continent. Demonic energy blanketed the sky, drawing the attention of the entire Ji Continent.

The fluttering Lü Mountain banners seemed to blot out the sun, like a giant hand slowly descending upon Ji Continent, reaching toward the Lu Family.

In an instant.

All the forces on Ji Continent were set astir.

Those who recognized the Lü Mountain banner cried out in shock.

"Lü Mountain!!!?"

"Why would a Lü Mountain flying vessel come to Ji Continent!!!?"

"That direction... it's... it's the Lu Family!!!"

"Quick, quickly notify the others! Ji Continent might be about to turn upside down!!!!"

"Hahahaha, the Lu Family has been so arrogant. Let's see if they can still be arrogant in the face of the Demon Continent's Lü Mountain!!!!"

"This time, either the Lu Family soars to new heights, or they suffer a devastating blow. Our opportunity might have come!!!!!"

The Lu Family was indeed powerful, sure, but you have to consider who you're comparing them to.

If the Second Circle was a large country, then the Lu Family could be considered a city-level knife, gun, and cannon. But Lü Mountain? That was the king of all kings with leopard number plates.

You could plant them in the ground as ginseng, and no one would dare say the medicinal effects were bad.

It just depended on whether Lü Mountain's arrival this time meant friend or foe to the Lu Family.

At this moment, within the Lu Family.

They too had received news that a Lü Mountain flying vessel was heading straight for them.

And oh boy.

All the Lu Family Patriarchs had been awakened.

Six Patriarchs in total.

They sat solemnly in the ancestral hall, every single one of them at the perfect peak of Deification Ninth Level.

The principle of "better to be a chicken's head than a phoenix's tail" wasn't something only Lü Mountain understood. There weren't that many fools in the world.

At the head seat.

The Lu Family's founding ancestor, Lu Lin, clad in a vicious blood-colored armor fused into his flesh and blood, opened his eyes. Golden pupils swept over everyone present as he spoke with divine authority: "Why is Lü Mountain charging straight at the Lu Family?"

The assembled Lu Family members below were all trembling. After all, the founding ancestor's savagery wasn't just talk. They didn't even dare to speak up.

Lu Lin's gaze swept across slowly: "No one knows?"

"Reporting to the founding ancestor, the Lu Family has never had any contact with Lü Mountain, nor any grudge. This... we truly have no idea why Lü Mountain has come."

The speaker was Lu Teng's elder brother.

But his words didn't earn a single glance from the founding ancestor. Instead, the Lu Family's founding ancestor looked at Lu Teng: "Teng'er, your emotions seem... unstable..."

Lu Teng was startled, a chill running down his spine.

The reason he had chosen to go to the Third Circle back then was precisely because of this founding ancestor's influence. And as a child, he had been quite favored by this founding ancestor, which was why he'd dared to do such a thing. But precisely because of that, he had disappointed the founding ancestor.

He had neither obeyed orders nor achieved complete success.

That meant he was at fault!!!

Lu Teng suddenly rose from his chair and knelt down, heavily kowtowing: "Lu Teng admits his fault!!!!"

"This time, Lü Mountain's arrival is most likely... most likely related to my exiled eldest son, Lu Ding!!!!"
