Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Just as Li Guanqi and Lu Kangnian were conversing in the study.

In the void somewhere in the Southern Region of the Azure Cloud Continent, Great Xia Domain.

Within an ancient domain, mountains, rivers, and the archaic architecture all showcased the profound heritage of this family.

Spiritual springs cascaded down from the high mountains, creating bursts of water, surrounded by a thin mist.

Rare spiritual fish, seldom seen in the outside world, occasionally swam within the springs.

Inside a magnificent and imposing hall, people were seated all around.

Beside Lu Tao sat a middle-aged man who shared seventy percent of his features.

The man was dressed in a dark cyan flowing cloud robe, with intricate patterns and meticulous detailing on the collar and sleeves.

He wore a green fish crown, his hair was immaculately styled, and his face was dignified.

This man was Lu Tao's father, and also the head of the number one branch among the eight major branches, named Lu Hongyang.

He was a genuine middle-stage Integration Realm cultivator.

And there were seven other people like him seated around.

Which meant... all eight branches of the Lu family were present here today.

Each of the third-generation disciples had also brought one person with them.

Lu Hongyang looked at Lu Tao, who was fidgeting beside him, and said calmly, "You went to see that fellow?"

"What did you think?"

Lu Tao looked up at his father, about to speak, but a tall, thin youth sitting next to Lu Tao sneered.

"Just an outside cultivator, what could he be?"

The youth leaned back in his chair nonchalantly, crossed his legs, and glanced at Lu Tao with a sneer.

"In my opinion, this meeting is completely unnecessary."

"Lu Tao, don't tell me you think you can't beat him after meeting him?"

Lu Hongyang remained calm, his expression unchanging, and simply picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

Lu Tao immediately understood, and suddenly rose, delivering a lightning-fast whip kick towards Lu Yun!

Bang!!

Lu Yun's reaction was equally swift, raising his arm to block in front of him.

However, the enormous force was still too much for him to hastily withstand, and the chair beneath him instantly shattered, sending him flying backwards!

Bang!! Boom!!

Lu Yun's back slammed heavily against the stone pillar behind him, causing the pillar to crack.

Before he could react, a large hand grabbed his throat and lifted him up.

A cyan spear materialized in the palm, and Lu Tao, with a fanatical look, thrust the spear through Lu Yun's shoulder.

The spear pinned Lu Yun's body firmly to the stone pillar.

He took a few steps back, blood dripping slowly down the spear.

The sound of dripping echoed particularly harshly in the hall...

"Yun'er!!"

"Lu Tao!! What are you doing!! Brothers just talking, is it necessary to be so heavy-handed?"

Lu Tao's father, Lu Hongyang, had remained calm from beginning to end, not even glancing at them.

Lu Tao glanced at Lu Yun, whose face was pale, then turned and sneered, "Lu Yun is not qualified to go up to the arena."

As soon as he spoke, there was an uproar in the hall!!

You must know that this 'arena battle' is essentially a plunder battle!!

A gamble between the ancient clans and the outside sects!

No matter who loses, they cannot bear the consequences!!

Lu Tao turned his back to Lu Yun, ignoring his resentful gaze, and turned his head to sneer.

He raised his palm, where a sword mark almost severed his hand horizontally!!

Lu Tao looked at the wound on his palm, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

"Did you see that? This is just a sword qi he casually unleashed."

"He didn't even draw his sword."

Lu Tao wasn't stupid, since the other party could be specially noticed by many ancient clans, he must have something extraordinary.

Thousandscale Sect?

Just a few ancient great demon bloodline monsters, how could he be interested in coveting that little thing?

He just wanted to meet Li Guanqi and say hello.

He believed that Li Guanqi had already noticed it, with the other party's mind and city, he must have thought of it...

The other third-generation disciples' gazes towards Lu Tao changed again and again, they didn't expect that Lu Tao's strength was getting stronger and stronger.

Lu Yun, in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, had no power to fight back in his hands!

Suddenly!!

Many people's faces changed slightly, and Lu Tao's face turned pale in an instant.

He quickly turned around and put Lu Yun down, pulled out the spear, and hurriedly looked towards the door, bowing and saluting.

Squeak!!

The heavy vermilion door slowly opened, and then a young man in white with a handsome face slowly walked in from outside.

The young man's face was like jade, and his whole temperament was very cold, and his deep eyes had a maturity and stability that did not match his age.

His figure was slightly thin, but exceptionally straight, just standing there gave people the feeling of being an unsheathed sword.

The young man glanced lightly at Lu Yun and Lu Tao, Lu Tao弯着腰冷汗都流下来了.

Bowing and saluting, he said, "Brother..."

Lu Wuhen glanced indifferently at Lu Tao, and said softly, "As an example in the afternoon, brothers shouldn't be so heavy-handed."

The veins on Lu Tao's neck bulged, and his face turned into a pig's liver color!!

His eyes were bloodshot, and snot and saliva dripped to the ground.

Lu Hongyang also changed his face slightly after noticing the abnormality, but as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he saw Lu Wuhen glanced at himself indifferently.

But with just this one glance, Lu Hongyang closed his mouth.

An oppressive atmosphere spread in the hall, obviously just a third-generation disciple.

But it made everyone not dare to breathe, because this is the future pride of heaven who is most likely to take over the Lu family!!

He is known as the person most likely to lead the Lu family to become one of the nine holy clans!

Innate holy grade spiritual root, innate sword embryo body, half-step Integration Realm!

It is said that when he steps into the Integration Realm, he will comprehend the sword intent of the sword soul realm!!

Moreover, with Lu Wuhen's current strength, he can also kill monks who have just entered the Integration Realm.

It can be said that in the entire Lu family, except for the Lu family's ancestor Lu Hengtian, his words are comparable to the head of the family!!

"Pfft!!! Big... Brother... I was wrong!! I... shouldn't... have contacted him rashly!"

Lu Tao spat out a mouthful of blood under that pressure, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he couldn't hold on any longer.

Lu Wuhen retracted his gaze and slowly walked past him.

Lu Wuhen's voice was as cold as the ice and snow of the snow mountain, and it rang in his ears.

"I don't want there to be another time."

"Remember?"

Lu Tao, who was bending over and lowering his head, felt Lu Wuhen's powerful oppression and cold gaze, and his heart stopped beating.

He barely managed to say, "I... I know!!"

Lu Wuhen slowly walked forward, and Lu Tao collapsed directly to the ground, panting heavily.

His whole body was already wet with cold sweat, he had just clearly felt Lu Wuhen's killing intent towards him!!!!

Looking at Lu Wuhen with lingering fear, the young man was already sitting on the main seat at the top!

The young man sat in the chair, waved his hand calmly to close the door, and said softly.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's talk about the gambling arena battle with the Great Xia Sword Sect."

"Presumably you all know the cause and effect, this 'gambling' is an order that we cannot contend with!"

"If you want to save trouble, you can only gamble. Let A'Tao send the invitation..."

"But... we have to discuss the issue of candidates."
