Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"In the future, you and your fellow disciples will work together to bring the sect to an unprecedented peak of prosperity."

"Yes, disciple will certainly live up to Uncle's expectations."

Lu Jin's inner turmoil of the past few days was resolved at this moment. He broke free from his constraints and made further progress in his character.

"As for this Tongtian Talisman, whoever wants it can practice it. If we encounter a promising talent in the future, we can pass it on to them."

"it is good."

Jiang Mo grabbed a handful of bait and tossed it into the pond, extremely pleased.

He was also a human being. In his youth, he went down the mountain to travel, and more than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Time flies, and he was either in seclusion or on his way to seclusion, rarely having contact with younger generations.

Since returning to the sect, he has personally nurtured the disciples and watched them grow strong in mind and body. As an elder, he feels genuinely proud.

"Uncle-Master, my cultivation has improved considerably recently. I'd like to meet that demon of Quanxing. What do you think?"

Lu Jin spoke from the heart. He was no longer bound by his friendship with Zheng Zibu. He simply wanted to exorcise the demon and personally kill the evil man for the hundreds of villagers who had died unjustly.

"kill."

“There is no need for any mercy towards these scoundrels.”

Jiang Mo immediately expressed his support, and said with a smile:

"If we can't wipe them out completely, we'll come back again next time. If we can't eliminate them in one day, we'll keep doing it for another day. We'll kill them to our hearts' content, until the sky and earth are dark, uphold the righteous path, and leave our names in history. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"A touch of noble spirit, a thousand miles of exhilarating wind—Uncle-Master is absolutely right!"

Lu Jin felt reborn, radiant and full of joy.

"Da da da...."

"Young Master, Master Jiang, so you've been here."

A familiar, strong voice came from behind him, and Qiao Yue stepped forward to report:

"I just received a message from an informant: Duanmu Ying, one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, known as the Dual-Handed Master, has apparently been kidnapped by the Lü family. Young Master, Master Jiang, what do you think... should we take action?"

"The Lü family?"

Jiang Mo couldn't help but laugh and say, "They're birds of a feather with the Wang family. It's understandable that they covet the extraordinary skills, and I can't be bothered with them. But if they want to protect those remnants and treat the agreement between my disciples as a joke, then I'll just go and take a look."

"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yue clasped his hands in a fist and replied, "Master Jiang, I understand your meaning. I will convey it to Lord Lu immediately..."

"Well, it's good to let you know. I'll take Jin'er there. This matter can be handled by our Sanyi Sect. There's no need to trouble the Lu family."

“However, the Lu family has notarized the agreement, and the Lü family has breached the contract. We have the right to hold them accountable…” Qiao Yue frowned, guessing the Lü family’s intentions.

"It's alright, I'll go."

Jiang Mo stood up, exchanged a few pleasantries with Guard Qiao, and then led Lu Jin away on the wind, transforming into a streak of light resembling the Milky Way, piercing the dark sky and heading straight for the capital city where the Lü family was located.

Chapter 217 Confrontation with the Lü Family

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Late at night, thick smoke billowed from the ferries along the harbor shore, preparing to set sail.

Lu Ren regretted it. He disregarded the interests of his family and secretly absconded with his daughter, whose bloodline had been modified.

"Dad...where are we going?"

"USA."

Passengers, few in number, boarded the ship one after another. In the spacious and bright cabin, Lü Ren waited anxiously, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner panic.

This was undoubtedly the most dangerous and nerve-wracking moment of Lü Ren's life. Only when the ferry slowly set sail, left the port, and entered the boundless, dark ocean did he finally feel relieved.

"Father, what happened this time? Why did you leave in such a hurry?"

Wearing a light white floral dress, Lü Yanjian had delicate features and eyes as clear as autumn water. She seemed puzzled by Lü Ren's hasty schedule.

"Aren't you going to tell your family?"

"No...."

Lu Ren stared blankly at the pocket watch in his palm, which had a photo of his wife before she passed away embedded in it.

In the evening, he remembered the promise he had made. At the last moment, he could not suppress his impulse and decided to risk his life to take his daughter to a distant place.

"The tribe is full of cannibalistic madmen."

“Jane, there are some things I don’t know how to tell you, but to protect you, I… have no way back.”

Lu Ren's expression softened slightly, and he said earnestly:

“From now on, we’ll settle down in New York and go to your Aunt Su’s place. When we have the chance later, Dad will definitely explain what happened today to you, okay?”

"good....."

Lu Yanjian pursed her lips. Noticing her father's preoccupied look, she sensibly agreed.

As night fell, the ferry broke through billions of seas, sailing towards a prosperous country on the other side of the ocean.

........

child time.

The elite guards responsible for watching over Lü Yanjian slowly woke up from their sleep, their heads aching badly, and they were even unsteady on their feet.

"Oh no..."

"Uncle Ren, they've kidnapped him!"

"Go quickly and inform the head of the family and the other gentlemen."

These three were quite capable, being among the best of the younger generation in the clan. However, they were tricked by Lü Ren, inhaled a large amount of sleeping powder, and were also struck on the back of the neck with an elbow, leaving them unconscious for several hours.

When they woke up, the father and daughter had vanished without a trace. They were terrified and immediately took remedial measures, even if it meant being punished.

instantly.

A furious outburst echoed through the Lü family's hall.

"What is that bastard Lü Ren thinking?! He actually went back on his word and took the research paper away without permission."

Father Lü was furious at his son's lack of ambition; his fists clenched so tightly that the veins stood out menacingly.

"..."

Lu Yue watched all this in silence. Among the elders present, he was the youngest and didn't even have the right to interrupt. He just felt a little relieved for the child.

"Lu Ci, Lu Shu, Lu Wan... are still in the clan. Keep a close watch on them. Anyone who lets them go without permission will be considered a traitor to the clan and will be executed on the spot."

Father Lü was filled with murderous intent. He never expected that his most reliable brother would abandon him and the family at such a critical moment.

Given Lü Ren's intelligence, he must have already made arrangements for his escape route. Nearly two hours have passed, and continuing the search would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is impractical.

"Day and night precautions, but the servant is still cunning..."

"If everyone abandons their families for their own selfish desires, the society will inevitably decline in the long run."

"Such a serious crime, once the storm has passed, we will send men to take his life."

The clan elders shared their opinions, and Mr. Lü, remembering the imprisoned Duanmu Ying, asked the three clan elders, "Is everything alright on your end?"

"No, she's been sleeping soundly for half a day and hasn't woken up yet."

The three elders sensed something was wrong. The unexpected escape of Lü Ren and his daughter gave them a bad feeling, and they suggested:

"Once she wakes up, I will prepare paper, pen, and ink so that she can write down the cultivation method of her special skill. This will make us prepared for both possibilities. Even if she can't inherit it from birth, she can still improve it through cultivation."

"Haste makes waste. Besides, we have plenty of time to improve our bloodline in the future, so there's no need to rush."

"Too....."

Mr. Lü rubbed his temples, looking troubled, and said:

"If there were any more of these six treasures of immortality now, they would be completely destroyed!"

The second elder, dressed in a long gray robe and with white hair and a weathered face, was displeased: "It's a pity about the Tongtian Talisman. We were about to get it, but the Quanxing Sect ruined it and even caused the loss of several people..."

"There's been a rumor going around these past few days that Zheng Zibu went to the Lu family's place, but he died in the street not long after. It's estimated that they got their hands on the Tongtian Talisman."

Mr. Lü felt a little depressed, as it seemed that he had come full circle and returned to where he started.

The Wang family obtained the Spirit Binding and Commanding Technique, the Lu family obtained the Heavenly Scroll, and only the Gao family obtained nothing. However, the Lu family did not widen the gap with the other two families much. Unless they seize another extraordinary skill, they will still be on par with them.

Human greed is insatiable. For powerful families like the Wang and Lü clans, a single unique skill is not enough to satisfy their appetite. With their extensive connections in both political and business circles, even if they were to seize a few more unique skills, other martial arts forces, however envious, would not dare to openly clash with them.

"Search."

"Give me a hefty reward for Ruan Feng's whereabouts. Apart from the people guarding him within the clan, send out all other manpower. If that's not enough, hire镖局 (bodyguard agencies)镖手 (bodyguards). Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find those remaining traitors with extraordinary skills."

Lu's father was ambitious; he was determined to acquire more than two extraordinary skills to bring glory to the family for hundreds of years to come.

However, before the elites and elders present could respond, a clear, cold voice pierced through the courtyard and reached the hall.

"Mr. Lü, it's been a long time. You've come to have such lofty ambitions?"

"?!"

Everyone was stunned and looked over, but in an instant, a chill ran through them from head to toe.

Dressed in standard white robes, with frost-colored hair, and even the young master of the Lu family following behind, the newcomer was none other than Jiang Mo, the sect leader of the Sanyi Sect, now the only universally acknowledged immortal on land in this chaotic world of martial arts.

The servant boy from the Lü family, who was leading the way, was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he avoided eye contact with the head of the family.

Instantly.

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence, especially for Lü's father and the other elders, who felt as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss. The white-haired youth standing before them gave them a suffocating feeling, as if the Eastern Mountain was towering majestically.

The Lu family...

The Heavenly Record...

Trinity Gate...

Duanmu Ying....

Zheng Zibu....

When the keywords were strung together, Mr. Lü was terrified and dared not guess the other party's intentions in coming in person.

As early as a year ago, rumors circulated in the martial arts world that this extraordinary person, who could be described as a legend, was on the verge of ascension. The daily affairs of the Sanyi Sect were all handled by Wei Xuanzi and Mr. Kuangya.

Even when discussing how to deal with the Thirty-Six Thieves some time ago, he did not show up. Most people thought he had truly ascended to heaven, but the higher-ups of the Lü family never expected that this great Buddha would visit them in the dead of night.

In a split second, Mr. Lü's mind went blank; he didn't know how to respond and was extremely anxious.

Just as he was lost in thought, the Third Elder asked in a low voice:

"Master Jiang... Your sudden arrival has greatly surprised and terrified me. May I ask what brings you here?"

"kill."

Jiang Mo remained calm and composed, and his plain words sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"Oh? I wonder which junior member of my Lü family has offended you?"

The three elders feigned a questioning posture, but in reality, they were extremely flustered. Their murky, cold eyes barely dared to meet the young man's gaze.

He is still stalling for time, thinking of countermeasures, and planning to deal with each move as it comes.

Seeing the old ghost feigning madness, Jiang Mo smiled slightly:

"Duanmu Ying, when did you become a vassal of the Lü family? Now that you've abducted her, bring her here, dead or alive."

"Master Jiang, you must have misunderstood. That vixen is not in my Lü family. You can't believe the rumors from the outside world."

Mr. Lü repeatedly denied the allegations, feigning innocence, and insisted that Duanmu Ying was not in the Lü family.

"Considering our alliance, you may take over these extraordinary techniques as you see fit; I will not interfere. Bring Duanmu Ying over immediately."

Jiang Mo's tone was forceful, leaving no room for negotiation.

Upon hearing this, Father Lü and the elders were initially delighted, but then realized that the other party might only be there to kill. However, since they had not yet completed the transfer of the Dual-Hand Technique, it was impossible for them to hand over the person at this time.

"This... Sect Leader Jiang, we are also completely stumped..."

"It's getting late. Why don't you stay at my Lu family's place for a while? Perhaps we'll find some clues about that demoness in a day or two."

The three elders continued their previous lies. Since the other party knew that Duanmu Ying was in the Lü family, they couldn't admit it directly. They could only hint that they would give her the person in two days, but not now.
