Chapter 289 Treasure Presenting
When he said, Qu Qingning raised his chest with a smile and walked into the gate, followed by Su Li and other guys. The person of Spiritual Realm followed at the end, not Xuan He, but Executive Qing Sen.
Looking at a group of young people with extraordinary manner who suddenly came without being invited, Lu Hai took a short shock, thinking about the young talents in Tiangu City, but none of them was the right one.
Were they from other countries?
Lu Hai frowned slightly, and was about to ask them, but Lu He, the second head of the family, stood up in suspicion, and said with a faintly unbelievable tone, “You… are the young lord of the Qu Family, Qu Qingning?!”
Qu Qingning smiled calmly, “It seems that Second Uncle Lu has a good memory.”
“It really is you! You were a.s.signed to the frontier… but you didn’t die!”
Lu He looked at Qu Qingning up and down, and was shocked at once that he couldn’t even distinguish the cultivation grade of Qu Qingning.
“Qingning, my nephew…”
Lu Hai calmed down and frowned, “You are too reckless. Since you have escaped, why do you come back? Although the Wei Family has been fighting for several years in recent years, its strength is much stronger than that year. My Lu Family and you can change nothing.”
“Uncle Lu, you are wrong.”
Qu Qingning gave the way, revealing the faces of the people behind him, “It’s not just me coming back.”
Seeing several people behind Qu Qingning, Lu Hai’s eyes widened, “You… young lord of the Fang Family, daughter of the Yin Family and you… You are all still alive and you have gathered together!”
At this moment, Lu Jiang, who was so desperate, also calmed down. He looked at Qu Qingning and others, having a glimmer of hope.
If the young lords of these three families had the hidden power of their families in their hands and cooperated together, even the Wei Family dared not despise. No wonder they dared to come back.
“Okay, Qingning, come to the point.”
At this time, Su Li suddenly spoke. Although the tone was indifferent, but the sweat ringing voice made the three of the Lu Family frown.
This woman looked the youngest, but in tone, she was actually the boss?
Had the young lords of the three families all turned to new forces?
Lu Hai was shocked and doubtful. He was very polite to the three young lords, because they did not appear to be threatening. The relations.h.i.+p between the four big families was not intimate, but in a situation of suspicion and balance, otherwise they would not be easily defeated one by one by the Wei Family.
When hearing Su Li’s command, Qu Qingning didn’t dare to mess around, and said in earnest, “I come here today to ask for your help.”
“What help?”
“Take me to the palace!”
Qu Qingning was so decisive that Lu Hai almost thought that he had heard it wrong.
“To the palace? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! No matter what forces you belong to now, my Lu Family is a minor family and can’t bear any frustration. The palace is so dangerous, and I would never go there!”
Lu Hai’s response was extremely fierce. Now it was fortunate that the Wei Family didn’t ask them to go to the palace. Why did they bring themselves to self-destruction?!
Su Li’s expression did not change at all because his reaction was reasonable. Just when she was about to speak, Qing Sen, who observed them carefully, came up and said respectfully, “Lady Su, let me speak for you.”
Su Li raised her eyebrows and immediately nodded slightly. Since someone could do the work for her, she had no need to waste her efforts.
“Lady?”
When he heard this t.i.tle, Lu He was so nervous. As for cultivation in the Lu Family, he was the highest one in the peak of the eighth hurdle in the inborn realm. He could distinguish that Qing Sen’s cultivation was only one hurdle lower than his. Such a character was enough to be a martial art elder of a faction in the martial arts circle. But Qing Sen acted like a slave!
Who could afford an inborn seventh-hurdle slave? He could not imagine it!
At this moment, Lu He looked at Su Li with cautiousness.
“Head of the Lu Family, think about the current situation of your Lu Family. Instead of waiting for death, you can choose to cooperate with our Lady. Our Lady is powerful, and the Wei Family members are not opponents at all. Since our Lady is kind and unwilling to see the destruction of Tiangu City because of the Wei Family, we come here.”
Qing Sen smiled mildly, but the next word made the three masters of Lu Family feel cold, like falling into an ice cave!
“If I guess right, your Lu Family’s poisonous insect king should have starved to death and you cannot rely on it to threaten the Wei Family any longer. If you don’t choose to cooperate, my Lady can only let your Lu Family be the pathfinder.”
There was no change on the expression of Lu Hai, but actually he was greatly shocked. This was the top secret of the Lu Family. How could it be leaked?!
He glanced at the second and third brothers who had changed their expressions. After a moment of silence, he smiled bitterly, “Yes, we have no way out. I wonder what you want my Lu Family to do?”
Su Li’s lips slightly hooked indifferently, “You just have to know that tomorrow your Family will bring my people into the palace for the reason of presenting the poisonous insect king.”
Lu Hai was shocked. The young girl seemed weak, but actually was domineering and tough judging from her words.
He thought for a few minutes before he said slowly, “This matter… please let me…”
“I don’t have that much time to waste with you, and I will go to the palace tomorrow!”
Su Li interrupted. Lu Hai’s look changed at once, and Lu He snorted,
“How silly you little girl is. You can’t imagine how powerful the Wei Family is. It is impossible for us to be forced by only an inborn eighth-hurdle senior and to compete with the Wei Family for you. I will let you see our strength!”
When he finished his words, a terrible power of the inborn eighth hurdle immediately erupted, the wind sweeping through with boom!
Qing Sen’s complexion changed slightly, and he stopped in front of Su Li. When he was about to block the move, Fang Yuan, who was silent beside Su Li, moved!
Without seeing any actions from him, the sword in his hand had been out of the sheath!
Whoos.h.i.+ng!
A stunning sword light flashed in the air!
No!
It could not be said to be one, but nine sword lights combining into one!
Fang Yuan stabbed nine times at this instant!
Bang!
Qing Sen was shocked, backed a few steps, and looked forward in amazement. He saw that Fang Yuan’s sword had been on Lu He’s neck, and the sleeve of Lu He which he waved was ragged. There was a heavy sword wound on the back of his hand where the bone was visible, drops of blood falling down along his fingertips.
Fang Yuan’s cultivation was so powerful that he defeated the inborn eighth-hurdle senior with one move?!
Qu Qingning pursed his lips and murmured, “This guy gets the limelight again.”
Although Yin Xuetong tried to laugh, now she only wanted to make her revenge. She was not as optimistic as Qu Qingning, and just pulled the corner of her mouth with helplessness.
“So far, your Lu Family has only one choice.”
Fang Yuan looked at frightened Lu He and said coldly, slowly moving away the sword.
“Clang!”
Sword was into the sheath!
Su Li saw this scene with a pensive look but saying nothing.
Lu He shocked for a while before calmed down and sat back with his limp feet. Watching Fang Yuan returning to Su Li expressionlessly, his lips shook, but he didn’t know what to say.
It’s just a few years.
Fang Yuan actually had cultivated from the acquired to the inborn ninth hurdle?! Even if practicing in the Practice Pool in the sect all day, he could not improve so fast!
“Hoo…”
Lu Hai took a deep breath, as if to relieve all the horror. His eyes returned to Su Li again with a completely different view. She was able to cultivate Fang Yuan to the inborn ninth hurdle in just a few years. She’s so powerful… Even the Wei Family could not compare!
Maybe… it was worth a bet!
“Yes, our Lu Family really has no way back. So, Lady, please tell us the plan, and we will make preparations for it…”
“There is nothing to prepare for.” Su Li faintly said, “The only thing your Lu Family has to do is to lead us to meet the people of the Wei Family. You don’t need to take part in the subsequent battles.”
Lu Hai smiled reluctantly. It was obviously that Su Li did not believe him and refused to disclose any news, but now that he had promised to join Su Li’s side, he could only suppress the anxiety in his heart and nodded.
After that, Su Li quickly left. The three brothers of the Lu Family spent an entire night to forge an ordinary poisonous insect that was exactly the same as the poisonous insect king by using of its dead body, and Su Li arrived before they could have a rest.
This time, Su Li was no longer followed by Fang Yuan, but Xuan He and… hundreds of desperados of the Spiritual Realm wearing guard’s armors of the Lu Family!
Seeing this, Lu Hai’s pupils shrank for a shock, and his anxiety also receded a lot. The armor of their Lu Family guards was specially made. In recent years, the Lu Family had weakened and had no ability to make multiple sets. But Su Li brought so many sets in just one night, which was enough to prove her great power.
In fact, after Xuan He chose the family, he began to work. If it was only one day, even the Spiritual Realm was impossible to finish it.
Su Li glanced at the fake poisonous insect king to ensure that there were no mistakes, and immediately ordered to set off.
A team of hundreds of people marched forward to the imperial palace, which naturally caught the Wei Family’s attention.
“Stop! Common people are forbidden to enter the palace!”
The palace commander screamed and stopped the team. He took a glance briefly of the three brothers of the Lu Family, and finally looked at Lu Hai. He laughed and said ironically, “So, Head of the Lu Family, you are going to rebel with so many people here?”
Lu Hai smiled, and said in a docile manner, “Definitely not. I come here to present a treasure to His Majesty. Commander, please notify for us. As for these guards, they just buy time for us to protect ourselves.”
Seeing Lu Hai’s att.i.tude being so humble, the commander’s expression changed slightly. When he saw the wooden box in Lu’s hands, he couldn’t help but feel surprised, “Is it in your hands …”
“It’s the poisonous insect king!”
Lu Hai took the conversation and bowed down, “I have been disconnected from this poisonous insect. If you don’t believe it, you can check it in person.”
“It’s true! The Lu Family succ.u.mbs!”
A joy burst in command’s heart. If he could get the poisonous insect king to present to the emperor, it would be a big credit!
“Thank you, Head of the Lu Family! I will give this thing to His Majesty, and you will not have to go into the palace to take risks. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?”
As he said, the commander reached out his hands to grab the wooden box. Hearing this, Lu Hai’s expression slightly changed, and he drew back his hands quickly.
The commander grabbed nothing in his hands, so, his face being immediately gloomy, “Lu Hai, what do you mean? Don’t you have any intention to present your treasure to His Majesty?!”
Whoos.h.!.+
After he said the words, the imperial forbidden guards around the palace immediately drew swords, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment.
A fight was imminent!
