Lu Chuan’s words shocked Lu Heshan. After pondering for a long time, he nodded and did not say anything more.
Indeed, although the Lu family was in the wrong in this matter.
But if they used the situation to force Luo Wuji, it was not entirely impossible!
After all, tomorrow, if the Lu family did not intervene, Luo Wuji would surely die.
Because he had already received calls from several old friends, all probing and verifying this matter.
The strength of those old friends was no weaker than his own.
Their attitude and stance were clear. They intended to execute Luo Wuji at the cultivator assembly tomorrow!
Because Luo Chen killing Elder Yuan, and his actions regarding Elder Jin and the remnants of the Dragon Guard, had indeed crossed the bottom line of the cultivation world.
The cultivation world valued etiquette and hierarchy. Luo Chen’s actions completely violated the rules of the cultivation world, causing widespread dissatisfaction.
Even if these people were entirely in the wrong, they were still considered right, simply because they were part of the cultivation world!
The key point was that this time, highly respected seniors were reportedly going to make a move behind the scenes.
Anyone those old friends of his referred to as a senior would absolutely have a formidable background!
In the current world, apart from the old heavenly master and those three fierce individuals, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to resist half the cultivation world single-handedly!
Therefore, the Lu family was equivalent to Luo Wuji’s last lifeline.
“And when the time comes, it will be Luo Wuji begging us, not us begging him. At that time, we will be the ones setting the conditions,” Lu Chuan implied.
“You mean?” Lu Heshan frowned.
“Exactly, all of Luo Wuji’s family assets!” Lu Chuan said with great confidence.
“You handle this matter,” Lu Heshan sighed. On the surface, he seemed slightly dissatisfied, but thinking carefully, it was indeed the right thing to do.
After all, the Lu family was a prestigious and prominent family. Even if they helped Luo Wuji, they could not do it for nothing!
That night, a loud bell suddenly rang out from Longhu Mountain, shaking the surrounding area. Even at the foot of the mountain, it could be heard clearly.
Following this, Kongming lanterns slowly rose into the sky from Longhu Mountain one by one.
This signified that the curtain had been raised on the cultivator assembly!
That same night, almost the entire country was discussing the cultivator assembly on Longhu Mountain the next day.
Everyone focused their attention on Longhu Mountain.
In the past, the cultivator assembly was a gathering for exchanging Taoist arts, mysterious methods, and alchemical cultivation.
Representatives from various famous mountains would be sent to spar with each other, and the sparring among the younger generation was particularly notable.
The person who won first place would be rewarded with a Longhu Pill from Longhu Mountain!
Just like the previous Luotian Grand Jiao!
But this time was different!
After all, this time, more than half of the cultivation world had made their stance clear. This cultivator assembly was specifically targeted at Luo Chen.
If it were in the past, it would have been fine, as Luo Chen’s strength and track record spoke for themselves.
But unfortunately, this time, Luo Chen had lost all his cultivation.
However, the more this was the case, the more it attracted attention!
Early the next morning, the Lu family members went up first. After all, both Lu Chuan and Lu Heshan were among the presidents of the Cultivator Association, so they naturally had to go up early to make arrangements.
Lu Shuixian also brought Annie and arrived early.
The location of the cultivator assembly was not on the front mountain of Longhu Mountain, but on the back mountain.
On a towering peak at the back mountain, there was a huge altar platform specifically built for hosting the assembly!
In addition, above the vast platform, there were ancient pavilions. The upper pavilions were reserved for seniors with status and prestige.
Even outstanding figures of the younger generation in the cultivation world, like Lu Shuixian, were not qualified to go up there.
Therefore, Lu Shuixian led Annie to stand at the edge of the platform, where tens of thousands of people were already gathered at this moment.
However, even so, they only occupied one-fifth of the platform’s area.
Emperor Howard had already been sent back to Europe for treatment.
“I actually hope Luo Wuji can survive today. When the time comes, the knights of my Howard family will definitely capture him and bring him home, making him kneel before my brother and repent!” Annie sneered.
The Howard family was greatly enraged this time, even disturbing the old ancestor of the Howard family.
“That is highly unlikely, unless our Lu family intervenes,” Lu Shuixian shook her head.
“Look at the people coming over there,” Lu Shuixian pointed to dozens of people approaching in the distance.
Those dozens of people wore dark blue Taoist robes, had their hair tied in buns, held fly whisks in their hands, walked steadily, and revealed a sharp glint in their eyes.
They looked like experts at first glance!
Especially the leader, who walked with a dragon’s gait and a tiger’s stride, had an exceptionally robust physique, giving people an unusually oppressive feeling.
“That is Daoist Qingfeng from Mount Qingcheng, one of the presidents of the Cultivator Association. His strength is no less than that of my grandfather and father.”
“This is only the first wave. I am afraid experts from all the famous mountains are coming.”
“This time, Luo Chen is probably truly unable to fly away even with wings.”
Just as Lu Shuixian finished speaking, Lu Heshan and Lu Chuan appeared and walked quickly to greet that group.
However, they were not greeting Daoist Qingfeng. After all, Daoist Qingfeng was merely a president, everyone was on the same level, and it was not yet necessary for Lu Heshan and Lu Chuan to greet him in person.
Lu Chuan and Lu Heshan were walking towards an inconspicuous old man standing beside Daoist Qingfeng.
This old man looked as though his eyes were cloudy, but he made Lu Chuan and Lu Heshan turn pale with shock, stepping forward to clasp their fists and bow.
“Senior Qing Deng, how did we manage to disturb you and bring you here?”
The old man before them was named Qing Deng, the only remaining elder of Mount Qingcheng.
It was said that his age was terrifyingly high, and his seniority was quite high.
After all, Lu Heshan was considered one of the old heavenly master’s disciples, so his seniority was already high enough. Yet, upon seeing Qing Deng, he still had to address him as a senior, which showed the old man’s seniority and status.
This kind of person was a true old senior in the cultivation world.
Moreover, Qing Deng’s strength was not ordinary, even though he had long reached the third layer of awakening.
Although he had not broken through for many years, the more this was the case, the more it indicated his formidable strength.
It was said that hundreds of years ago, he had slain a white snake that had cultivated for a thousand years and become a spirit on Mount Qingcheng!
Back then, a thousand-year-old white snake on Mount Qingcheng became a spirit, transformed into a human form, went into the mundane world to seduce and drain the qi and blood of strong men, causing havoc in the region.
In the end, it was Qing Deng who captured that white snake, brought it back to Mount Qingcheng, and personally beheaded it!
This was not something an ordinary person could achieve. Therefore, despite the old man’s unremarkable appearance, he was absolutely not an ordinary expert.
Being able to slay a thousand-year-old white snake spirit hundreds of years ago, his current attainments in sorcery were probably extremely difficult to fathom!
“Heh, I just wanted to come and see where this remnant came from, daring to injure a direct disciple of my Mount Qingcheng?” Qing Deng sneered.
He was considered Qing Mang’s grandmaster. When Qing Mang was trampled underfoot by Luo Chen, he was wandering and naturally did not know.
Returning this time and personally coming to this cultivator assembly, he was naturally here to seek revenge!
“Hmph, today I will see for myself just how much capability that so-called Luo Wuji actually has.”
