The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

At this moment, Lu Ye was casually picking up the storage rings of those people, a total of three.

Upon hearing Xiao Qingyin's question, Lu Ye remained silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "I do know him, but we don't have any grudges. On the contrary, we can be considered friends."

"Then by doing this, aren't you making your friend lose face? The family he was protecting has had these people killed by you," Xiao Qingyin asked curiously.

In Xiao Qingyin's opinion, since they were friends, wasn't Lu Ye's actions an insult to his friend's reputation?

At that time, will Lu Yan be able to swallow this insult?

After all, having reached such a level, few people wouldn't value their own reputation.

Everyone wants to leave behind a legacy that will be remembered for centuries, millennia, or even millennia in their region…

"It's alright. He didn't protect this family at all. It's just that the family is using his name to intimidate others." Lu Ye shook his head.

"Ah? No wonder I was wondering why you suddenly changed your mind." Hearing this, Xiao Qingyin finally understood and realized what was going on.

So it turns out someone was using that person's name to swindle and deceive?

But is the Lu family really that terrifying? Xuanzhou produced Lu Ye, who is ranked first on the Dongcang Stone Tablet Ranking, and Yuanzhou even has Lu Yan...

Also number one?!
Is the feng shui a bit better now?
However, both of them share the surname Lu, and according to Lu Ye, they are friends. Xiao Qingyin felt that something was amiss.

I've never heard him mention this before.

But thinking about it, it's normal that he and I have only met so many times, and although we know each other to some extent, we don't know much.

After thinking about it this way, Xiao Qingyin suppressed the slight strangeness in her heart and did not continue to think about it.

But what happened next made Xiao Qingyin feel that something was wrong. She then heard Lu Ye say something.

"Since we've run into this mess, let's take the opportunity to visit the Yuan family. Their behavior—using Lu Yan's name to swindle and deceive—is inappropriate. Let's go and warn them, and if any of them still dare to act recklessly..."

Lu Ye's eyes sharpened; then this so-called Yuan family no longer needed to exist.

Xiao Qingyin: "?"

Is this right?
You two have such a good relationship?

He actually went to the Yuan family in person to give them a warning?

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Although she had doubts, Xiao Qingyin still nodded.

After all, it had been said before that this time she would listen to Lu Ye's orders.

A moment later, after disposing of all the corpses in one go, the two figures set off into the night, heading directly to the city where the Yuan family was located.

Uehara Castle.

...

Within Uehara City, there lived an extremely powerful family.

The clan also boasts two Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm, which has made the Yuan family famous far and wide, a powerful family known throughout the surrounding area of ​​nearly 100,000 miles.

In the past, the Yuan family was like a local tyrant in Shangyuan City.

During this time, rumors began to circulate that the Yuan family had found Lu Yan, the person who had once caused a series of upheavals in Yuanzhou and ranked first on the stone tablet list, as their backer.

Its momentum has reached a new level.

At this moment, something unexpected was amiss within the Yuan family compound.

A member of the family who was guarding the ancestral hall rushed over, his face full of grief.

"Patriarch, something terrible has happened!" The family member practically tumbled into the hall, saying anxiously, "Patriarch, the Second Ancestor's soul tablet... just now, without any warning, it suddenly shattered!" For these family members, the collapse of the soul tablet meant something very clear.

This situation only occurs after a person has passed away.

And who is the Second Ancestor? He is a Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm!

It is also one of the two pillars of the family's stability!
The sudden collapse of the memorial tablet signifies that half of the Yuan family's fortunes have crumbled.

So how could this member of the family not be alarmed?

"What did you say?!" In the hall, Yuan Jing, the head of the Yuan family, suddenly stood up from his seat: "What nonsense are you talking about? The Second Ancestor was a Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm, a figure of great importance in the entire Yuanzhou. How could his soul tablet have shattered?"

"Moreover, with Lu Yan's backing, who would dare to provoke us easily?"

“Patriarch, what I said is true. If you don’t believe me, you can come with me to see for yourself. The ancestral tablet is indeed broken.”

Looking at the terrified faces of his family members, the head of the Yuan family suddenly had a bad feeling.

No one would dare joke about something like this in front of them.

Immediately, the head of the Yuan family said in a deep voice, "Lead the way, I'll go see what's going on."

A moment later, when the Yuan family arrived at the ancestral hall, they saw that one of the memorial tablets for important family members under the incense table was broken...

That represented the memorial tablet of the Second Ancestor, and immediately a wave of dizziness washed over him.

The ancestral tablet of the Second Ancestor, who possessed mortal-level strength... was actually shattered?!

The reason they were already in the hall at this time was because their second son, Yuan Junhua, who had been away from home, had recently returned.

At the same time, they brought back Uncle Liu, who was already injured.

The entire Yuan family was immediately taken aback. After clarifying the situation, they found out that the Second Ancestor had just emerged from seclusion.

Hearing that someone still dares to disrespect the Yuan family, telling the direct descendants of the Yuan family to get lost, and injuring the Yuan family's martial arts grandmaster.

The Second Ancestor, who had always been hot-tempered, immediately decided to go and demand an explanation.

Unexpectedly, less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed, and even the Second Ancestor's soul tablet has completely shattered...

Just how vicious and ruthless is the other party?!
Just as the Yuan family was filled with shock and anger, a commotion suddenly came from the sky above...

"People from the Yuan family, come out here."

The voice that spoke was female; Xiao Qingyin simply took care of this for Lu Ye.

Upon hearing this voice, the head of the Yuan family frowned. Who dared to cause trouble at his Yuan family at this time?

Suddenly, the head of the Yuan family was startled when he remembered the death of the two ancestors.

Could it be... those vicious cultivators who have come to kill us?!
If that's really the case, is there no justice or law left?!
With this thought in mind, the head of the Yuan family quickly rushed out of the ancestral hall and came to the courtyard. Looking up at the sky, he saw two people standing under the night sky.

One male and one female.

The one who spoke just now was that woman.

Suppressing a slight sense of fear, the head of the Yuan family asked, "Who are you two? What brings you to my Yuan family so late at night?"

Meanwhile, in Shangyuan City, many cultivators who were still awake were drawn to the commotion and looked over.

They were also very curious, as the Yuan family's influence was quite considerable these days. (End of Chapter)
