Chapter 86: I’m Blowing Up Your Ancestral Grave, So What?

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: I’m Blowing Up Your Ancestral Grave, So What?

BOOM!

The roof exploded.

Unable to endure it a moment longer, Cang He Guang finally decided to fight back.

The moon hung high in the sky, bathing everything in its clear light. Having just blown the roof off, Cang He Guang turned to see Uncle Li, completely unharmed, snatching the last skewer before vanishing from sight.

A group of his subordinates rushed over, their expressions unreadable as they stared at the blown-apart room.

’There aren’t any enemies... so how did the room explode?’

’Could it be... the City Lord has some... unusual hobbies?’

"It’s nothing. Disperse, disperse, everyone break it up now."

His right-hand man reacted instantly, ordering everyone to disperse. After giving Cang He Guang a knowing glance, he too slipped away.

Left standing alone, Cang He Guang stared at the now uninhabitable room, his lips twitching into a stiff smile.

’Why couldn’t I have held on for just a little longer?’

’Can my reputation even be salvaged now?’

Lu Wu, who was also staying at the City Lord Mansion but hadn’t been disturbed by the commotion, made a late-night snack for her two beasts before logging onto One World Communication to catch up on the latest gossip.

Why Has the Beast Taming Sect Been Bombed Three Times in Two Days?

Ooh!

Remembering that this was the Sect that wanted to challenge her Beast Taming skills, Lu Wu was overcome with a burning desire for gossip and clicked on the article.

She quickly learned that the day before, an explosion of unknown origin had rocked the area where the Beast Taming Sect kept its demon beasts.

No disciples were harmed, but several demon beasts that were on the verge of being fully tamed had escaped. The loss was quite significant.

But after searching for a long time, they couldn’t identify the culprit.

The prevailing theory was that an Evil Cult was seeking revenge.

Then, on the very night the repairs on the enclosure were completed, the place where the Beast Taming Sect’s Sect Master was in seclusion was also bombed.

Amid the towering flames, everyone saw a man with a bare behind rush out, clutching his front while completely neglecting his back.

It was their Sect Master.

The flash of pale white flesh was a truly unforgettable sight for all who witnessed it.

Even though the picture had been censored, Lu Wu could still make out the pained and helpless expression on the Sect Master’s face.

’Gotta say, his skin is really fair.’

Lu Wu clutched her stomach and rolled on her bed a few times, laughing until tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

The culprit was still nowhere to be found, but the people of the Beast Taming Sect had learned their lesson. They immediately dispatched members to patrol around the clock in an attempt to catch the criminal.

But before they could find anyone, another earth-shattering explosion rocked the Beast Taming Sect the very next day.

This time, the Beast Taming Sect’s ancestral grave had been bombed.

Fortunately, the site of the ancestral grave was protected by a powerful Array. Although the Array shattered, the tomb itself was undamaged.

Their ancestral grave had nearly been desecrated. The Beast Taming Sect was, to put it mildly, incandescent with rage.

They immediately issued a bounty: whoever could find the person responsible would become an honored guest of the Beast Taming Sect.

And the reward they offered was nothing to sneeze at. They had spared no expense, and even Lu Wu was tempted.

Unfortunately, she knew nothing about the culprit.

Meanwhile, in the Bun Sect’s private communication channel, messages were flying.

"We were responsible for the first bombing, but does anyone know who was behind the other two?"

Without anyone realizing it, the Bun Sect had grown and expanded, its membership now over one hundred strong.

Its ranks were filled with all sorts of talented and unusual people.

Bombing the Beast Taming Sect? A trivial matter.

They didn’t usually go looking for trouble, but the Beast Taming Sect had dared to bully Boss Lu. They wouldn’t stand by and let Boss Lu be wronged like that.

The first bombing? That was them. What about it?

"No idea."

"I’m definitely not that skilled, anyway."

"I heard—this is just a rumor, mind you—that on a dark and windy night, a lone hero infiltrated the Beast Taming Sect and bombed the Sect Master into utter humiliation. And apparently, that hero has ties to Hong’an City."

At this, Cang He Guang silently took credit, his good deed and name hidden from the world.

He had promised to resolve the matter, and he had. Lu Wu was a person of Hong’an City, and he would absolutely not sit by and watch her get bullied by the Beast Taming Sect.

’That Sect Master’s ass? I felt like bombing it, so I bombed it. What of it?’

The theories were many and varied, but the Bun Sect members weren’t hung up on the details.

The more chaotic, the better. They were perfectly happy to watch the drama unfold from the sidelines.

"So what about the third bombing? That person is ruthless, going straight for the ancestral grave! They just lacked a little finesse, though."

"You can say that again. If they’d been a bit more ruthless, they’d have sent those old ancestors’ bones flying. But at that point, the Beast Taming Sect would probably have gone completely berserk."

"Hahaha!"

A wave of messages mocking the Beast Taming Sect followed.

Although the Beast Taming Sect was considered a major orthodox Sect in the Green Origin Realm, its reputation wasn’t great.

They prided themselves on their ability to control demon beasts and their unique Cultivation Technique, and always acted as if they were a cut above the rest.

They were always looking down their noses at people.

So, many were delighted to see them taken down a peg or two.

"Ahem. I had a bit of a relationship with one of the old geezers from the Beast Taming Sect who’s already in his grave. I was just showing him a little face."

A message from Uncle Li suddenly appeared in the chat.

The channel went silent for a moment.

Then it exploded with activity.

"What? The Great Elder bombed the ancestral grave?"

"Great Elder, you knew the patriarch of the Beast Taming Sect? Oh my god, can you tell us more?"

The sect members were dumbfounded.

They knew the Great Elder was powerful and mysterious, but they’d never imagined he was powerful on this level.

A figure on the level of a sect patriarch... Was someone like that really a member of their little Bun Sect?

"Hmph. That’s all in the past. Nothing worth talking about."

"Rest assured, I’ve used up my goodwill for that old fossil. If there’s a next time, I’ll definitely blow that grave to kingdom come."

’So what if I bomb an ancestral grave?’

’When I, Uncle Li, do something, I don’t mess around.’

Back in her room, Lu Wu had finished reading up on the gossip but still wasn’t satisfied.

Unfortunately, the Beast Taming Sect had already caught on and was frantically trying to suppress the topic on One World Communication.

Lu Wu scrolled around, hoping to find some other juicy gossip.

The Bun Sect is offering a hefty reward for any information on the whereabouts of our Sect Hierarch. Those who provide verifiable information will be compensated handsomely.

’Huh? Why is it this Evil Cult again?’

Lu Wu frowned.

’My daily question: how has this Bun Sect not been eradicated yet?’

’And that Sect Hierarch... starting an Evil Cult like that, aren’t they afraid of being struck dead by heavenly lightning every time they leave the house?’

’In any case, *she* would never be the kind of lightning-smitten Hierarch of an Evil Cult.’

As usual, she scrolled right past it.

Naturally, she also missed the photo attached to the post—a picture of her setting up her stall at the entrance of the Heaven and Earth Casino.

By the time she was done scrolling, Lu Wu had dark circles under her eyes.

Only at Huohuo’s urging did she finally put down her One World Communication and go to sleep.

The next morning was a new day.

Lu Wu lay back on her lounge chair, basking in the winter sun as she casually used the Wind Cutting Technique to prepare ingredients.

It was so warm and cozy, she felt like dozing off.

"Lu."

Someone was knocking on the door. It was Cang He Guang.

As soon as he entered and saw the ingredients dancing wildly about, Cang He Guang couldn’t help but recall their conversation from yesterday.

His steps faltered slightly.

"City Lord, what brings you here?"

Compared to the previous night, Lu Wu was much more enthusiastic now.

After all, who would believe that this handsome, graceful Lord City Lord was the same creepy older man from last night who used such a clumsy conversation starter?

"Ahem. I just came to see if there’s anything you need."

Cang He Guang’s conscience pricked him. It was just an excuse.

He just knew Lu Wu was preparing ingredients and came over hoping he might get a meal out of it.

"Have you had lunch?"

Lu Wu beckoned Cang He Guang inside.

She had a soup base ready in the kitchen, and after Cang He Guang shook his head, she placed some skewers into the broth.

"Then please wait a moment, City Lord. You can try my skewers."

"I’ve also prepared the portion for the Evil Dragon."

She pointed to a large basin. Lu Wu had a strong sense of professional ethics—the portion was huge, guaranteed to be filling.

Cang He Guang nodded, but as he looked at the portion meant for the Evil Dragon, his mind started scheming.

’I already gave the Evil Dragon its promised share, so... does that mean I can have today’s portion all to myself?’

’There’s so much... I’ll be stuffed.’

Cang He Guang subtly wiped the corner of his mouth.

’No drool. Now, I just have to wait to be fed.’
