It was a pity that after the previous patriarch who had thought very highly of Situ Fangyou grew old, he began to go into seclusion, and the authority of the clan fell into the hands of his son.In the end, there was still a difference between the two of them. Because the Situ Family wasn"t of the orthodox bloodline, even if their talent was exceptional, Situ Fangyou had only become a butler of the Situ Family and not an Elder.
This was already the highest position that a person with another surname from the Situ Family could reach. However, in reality, in a major operation, he was only a high-ranked thug.
Situ Fangyou began to chant a strange incantation, and strong gusts of wind blew through the room.
Even the ceramic teacup on the table was lifted and dropped to the ground.
With a clang, it shattered into pieces.
The moment this teacup landed on the ground, Lu Chen"s eyes immediately went cold.
He could clearly see a few conspicuous words written on the teacup —
Happy forty-fourth birthday, Dad! Cultivation!
But by the time Lu Chen managed to react, the cup was already shattered on the floor.At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when Hu Xiu was in the special forces before, he had mentioned that he would give a gift to his father.
This ceramic teacup with words on it was the birthday present Hu Xiu gave to his father, Hu Weiguo!
In other words, Hu Xiu"s gift was the last gift in his life.Lu Chen noticed that Hu Weiguo did not have any special reaction when he saw the cup break.
On the other hand, because of the technique that Situ Fangyou had used, he had been scared out of his wits and had protected his daughter, Hu Lingling, behind him.
However, this was understandable.Hu Wei Guo didn"t know that his son, Hu Xiu, was already dead.
Since the cup was broken, he could just buy it again. Naturally, he wouldn"t feel the pinch.
But to Lu Chen, this broken ceramic cup was a deep pain in his heart.At this moment, Lu Chen"s eyes were bloodshot. Anger burned in his heart, as if his entire body was on fire.
Suddenly, with a movement of his body, a thunderous explosion resounded beneath Lu Chen"s feet.
He immediately turned into a streak of light and disappeared into thin air.
When he reappeared, Lu Chen was already in front of Situ Fangyou.Placing one hand on Situ Fangyou"s shoulder, Lu Chen suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a cold gaze:
"It doesn"t matter who you"re fighting with. If you want to fight, then go out and fight. If you dare to move again, then don"t blame me for being ruthless!"
Just as Lu Chen spoke, Situ Fangyou"s entire body shuddered and he subconsciously wanted to push his hand away.
However, in the next moment, he was stunned. His face was filled with fear.
Because he discovered that Lu Chen was just casually pressing down on his shoulder, the power that was already in his body and ready to strike at any time actually seemed to have been forcefully locked up by an invisible cage and couldn"t be operated at all.He looked at Lu Chen in shock and disbelief.
The aura exuded by this young man was not strong. At best, he was at the peak of the yellow level, not even close to low-Xuan level.
Yet, this kind of cultivation actually possessed such a frightening ability. It was able to completely suppress his own strength.
For a moment, Situ Fangyou actually didn"t have any thoughts of resisting.
Situ Fangyou felt as if the scene in front of him was a dream and not real at all.
One had to know, he himself was a genuine Quasi-Earth Stage expert!Without the Earth Stage, who could contend against it?
Moreover, even if it was a real low-rank Earth Realm martial artist, they wouldn"t be able to suppress him like they did just now.
He didn"t even have the ability to resist.
Of course, Situ Fangyou only knew the ident.i.ty of this young man in front of him from Lu Chen"s appearance.
When he thought about how Lu Chen could even kill the Blood Fiend Ghost King, Situ Fangyou immediately understood.
No one knew what kind of terrifying method this Lu Chen had on him.However, there was one thing that was very clear.
The young man in front of him was a true monster, and he couldn"t be judged by common sense.
Thus, after struggling for a moment, Situ Fangyou completely gave up.
Lu Chen"s warning was heard by everyone. Although it would cause him to feel very humiliated, Situ Fangyou did not dare to act rashly.
It was as if Lu Chen only needed to exert a tiny bit of strength to force him into a situation of no return.
Although the benefits that the Duanmu family had provided weren"t small, to be honest, it didn"t have much to do with him, Situ Fangyou.Moreover, even if those benefits were given to him, it would only be meaningful if he was alive to obtain them.
As long as there were mountains, there would be no fear of burning firewood!
At this moment, after weighing the pros and cons, Situ Fangyou gave up any thoughts of resisting.
As for face?
What does that matter!
Surviving was the most important thing.
In the Celestial Gate world, strength was everything!Everyone was well aware of Lu Chen"s strength. Presumably, no one would dare to laugh at him, Situ Fangyou.
Moreover, even the members of the Situ Family had nothing to say."You must be the famous Divine Doctor Lu! Seeing it today, it was indeed extraordinary. "Situ Fangyou has offended me in many ways, please forgive him …"
Situ Fangyou, who had quickly made his decision, immediately changed his expression. He looked at Lu Chen with an apologetic smile.
Seeing that Situ Fang You had immediately expressed his att.i.tude and given up on trying to struggle free of his arm, Lu Chen was finally relieved.
No matter what, he had achieved the effect of deterrence.
Just a moment ago, Lu Chen"s palm had consumed more than a third of the power of the Merit Pool when it landed on Situ Fangyou"s shoulder.Moreover, even as Situ Fangyou was hesitating, the power of karmic virtue was still constantly being used up.
Now, there was actually only half of it left.
Before Lu Chen made his move, he already knew that if he wanted to suppress Situ Fangyou, who was already half a step into Earth Stage, with such a large gap in cultivation level, he would definitely consume a lot of energy.
However, when they actually met, he was still shocked.
And to a large extent, this borrowed the little fox"s strength.Otherwise, the rate of consumption would increase by at least 50%!
It was mainly because Situ Fangyou had displayed his true strength from the very start.
Facing the Lu family"s three Quasi-Earth Stage Elders, Lu Chen actually did not have much confidence. He could only gain the upper hand and use the power of merit to restrain the Lu family when they were caught off guard.Thus, even though the price was enormous, he did not dare to hold back.
On the contrary, he was doing his best to maximize the effect in order to get the best result.
Actually, just now, Lu Chen was not only targeting Situ Fangyou, he was also purely intimidating him.
At the same time as he attacked, Lu Chen"s Spiritual Sense instantly exploded, enveloping a hundred meter radius around him and detailedly investigating his surroundings.
These superior cultivators of the Celestial Sect acted as they pleased, ignoring the surrounding environment. Aren"t they afraid of hurting the innocent and shocking the world?This naturally puzzled Lu Chen.
