"Old man Feng, you scared Liu Yun into such a state. We can"t just let this go."

"Since you don"t know how to discipline your family, let me do it for you."

Shangguan Feng Xing"s words had not been spoken for long before, when the old man beside Duanmu Fu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

His voice sounded slightly ancient, but it carried a sense of inviolable majesty.

Moreover, the moment he opened his mouth, it immediately caused many of the weaker individuals to find it difficult to even breathe.

The black-robed old man seemed to emit an invisible force field, causing one to feel uncomfortable all over. At the same time, it was difficult to even take half a step closer.

Some of the superior cultivators of the Celestial Sect of Wonders had even taken a few steps back. They subconsciously tried to avoid the attack as they were afraid of being affected by the power.

"Sima Xiu Zhu …"

At this moment, within the Diamond Barrier, Lu Haichao could not help but mutter under his breath. His gaze turned cold and his heartbeat quickened.

Just now, when they were escaping, the three of them understood very clearly that even though Sima Yun was jumping around happily, the most difficult one was actually still this Sima Xiu Zhu, who hadn"t spoken a word all this time.

There is a saying that biting dogs do not bark.

This Sima Xiu in front of him was like this.

If it wasn"t for the fact that he didn"t specialize in movement techniques, Lu Haichao believed that he wouldn"t have been able to escape.

Originally, they had been happy to see Lu Chen die so easily.

After all, if the mysterious sect behind Lu Chen were to pursue this matter, it could very well be a disaster for the Sima Family.

However, the sudden appearance of Shangguan Zixi had caused Lu Haichao and the other two to quickly exchange glances.

The three of them understood what each other was thinking.

Many people in the Celestial Sect of Wonders weren"t clear about this, but Lu Haichao and the others were clear about it.

That year, Lu Qingtian"s son was taken away by his grandfather. This was the family"s greatest secret.

Although many people in the Celestial Sect of Wonders had heard of this matter in the past eighteen years, no one could be sure as it was only a rumor.

Many people even thought that this was just a fiction.

After so many years, there were still some people who felt that the mastermind behind all these had added fuel to the fire.

However, because the attraction of breaking through the Earth Stage was too great, even if there was a chance, people still rushed to it and did not want to fall behind.

After all, the Celestial Gate World was a place where the strong ruled.

If you don"t improve, you will be left behind by the others.

And being left behind would mean being beaten, and perhaps even disappearing forever.

The rumors of the Lu family in the Celestial Sect of Wonders had long since disappeared after the battle of the Ruins of Karakorum.

However, the upper echelons of the Lu family were extremely clear on this matter.

Lu Haichao and the others seemed to have woken them up because of Shangguan Zixi"s actions.

After eighteen years, the child that was taken away should be about the same age as Lu Chen.

Shangguan Zixi was even closer to Lu Qingtian than the elders.

Her judgment was indeed more accurate.

After connecting the dots, a crazy idea suddenly popped up in Lu Haichao"s mind.

Just as he was about to make a move, Lu Haidong and his sister immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"Calm down, if I go out now, I"ll die..."

Lu Haedong grabbed Lu Haichao"s shoulder, using his zhenqi to cover the sound as he said solemnly.

Lu Haichao finally came back to his senses after being grabbed like this. His thoughts had indeed been too crazy.

He slightly raised his head and swept his gaze across these experts from the Celestial Sect of Wonders, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.

If Lu Chen wasn"t Lu Qingtian"s son...

This was a gamble. If he wasn"t careful, he would lose his life.

It was true that Lu Haichao"s death was not worth lamenting over. However, it was a crime for the Lu Family, which was already in a precarious situation, to lose a portion of their support because of this.

Sima Xiu Zhu"s aura was overbearing, and all of Lu Chen"s attention was focused on Shangguan Zixi.

He also noticed that Shangguan Feng Xing did not seem to have any intention of stopping Sima Xian Zhu.

From this, one could tell that the Sima Family"s status in the Celestial Sect of Wonders was by no means simple.

They might not be part of the nine great clans, but they were important figures within the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Moreover, the deterrence level was enormous.

However, he didn"t know what the Sima family controlled that made the nine families of the Celestial Sect of Wonders afraid.

However, there was one thing that Lu Chen could completely sense.

To the Shangguan Family, at least, the Sima Family was a force they didn"t want to offend, much less offend.

At this time, Shangguan Zixi was pushed to the heart of the struggle.

As far as Lu Chen was concerned, as long as Sima Xiu Zhu made a move, none of the experts of the Celestial Sect of Wonders would act on Shangguan Zixi"s behalf.

Shangguan Zixi didn"t pay attention to Sima Xiu Zhu"s words. She only secretly gathered her strength, preparing for a fierce battle.

Shangguan Zixi was very clear in his heart that he was no match for this Sima Xiu Zhu.

Standing beside Shangguan Zixi, Lu Chen could clearly feel that the zhenqi in his body was frantically brewing, without the slightest hint of holding back.

Obviously, in the face of an expert like Sima Xiu Zhu, Shangguan Zixi had been injured just now and knew full well that she wasn"t a match for him, yet she still flapped her wings without hesitation, like a moth flinging into the fire.

There was also a big difference between quasi-Earth Stage powerhouses.

Other than the density and density of the true energy, as well as the proficiency of the Tao technique, of course, the strangeness or grade of the Tao technique itself also greatly reflected the difference in strength.

"Don"t you regret it?"

The warmth in Lu Chen"s heart was thick, and at the same time, there was a complicated expression on his face. He turned his head slightly to the side and asked Shangguan Zixi in a soft voice.

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Shangguan Zixi was stunned for a moment before she understood the meaning behind Lu Chen"s words.

"Even if it is a fleeting flower, at the very least, you have to prove that you are that ephemeral flower. Even if you die, you will have no regrets!"

Shangguan Zixi"s voice was not loud, but it was clear and straightforward.

The people present didn"t quite understand the conversation between the two, but they didn"t pay much attention to it.

Once Sima Xiu Zhu made his move, even if the two of them could preserve their lives, they wouldn"t be in a good situation either.

"Stand behind me!"

After hearing Shangguan Zixi"s words, Lu Chen placed a light hand on Shangguan Zixi"s shoulder and said indifferently.

These words came out of his mouth as if it was an understatement, but when Shangguan Zixi heard them, he couldn"t help but be shocked.

Without waiting for Shangguan Zixi to say anything, Lu Chen directly walked in front of her and set his gaze on Sima Xiu Zhu.

"If you want to touch a single strand of her hair, you have to at least get past me. Come on! this junior will experience senior"s great move. "

Lu Chen ignored Shangguan Zixi"s expression. Even after Shangguan Zixi, who was behind Lu Chen, lightly tugged at his clothes a few times, he was still unmoved.

It was as if Lu Chen"s body was rooted to the ground, like a towering pine and green cypress. A formless pressure was instantly released, actually not the slightest bit inferior to the one facing Sima Xiu Zhu.
