“Smack!” A loud slap landed on Zhang Shoudao’s face.
Zhang Shoudao did not even try to dodge. It was not that he did not want to, but that he did not dare to! Zhang Shoudao was, after all, one of the three great villains in the cultivation world. In terms of status, even Huainanzi and the old Celestial Master could not compare to him. Even in terms of strength, he was the most formidable of the three villains! Once the name Zhang Shoumo was spoken, let alone ordinary people, even many old monsters in the cultivation world would probably turn pale with fright! But at this moment, facing Luo Chen, he was truly afraid, filled with fear from the bottom of his heart! It was just a sharp gaze! This villain, who had intimidated the cultivation world for hundreds of years, instantly cowered.
“What?”
“Did I not block you?” Luo Chen sneered, looking at Zhang Shoudao mockingly.
“Smack!” Luo Chen raised his hand and slapped Zhang Shoudao’s face again.
“Did you not say that anyone who blocks you dies?”
“Make your move.” Luo Chen slapped Zhang Shoudao’s face once again.
“I not only blocked you, but I also hit you. So what?” Luo Chen raised his hand and slapped him again.
As for Zhang Shoudao, this peerless villain, he was truly beaten to the point of having no temper left. In fact, whether it was Zhang Shoudao or Zhang Shouyi, they were probably the only people in the world currently capable of seeing through Luo Chen’s true background. It was not because their cultivation and magical power were particularly profound, but because they both inherited from the Celestial Master Mansion. One cultivated the Tongtian Seal, and the other cultivated the Five Thunders Orthodox Method! These two orthodox mystical arts shared a characteristic, which was that they were both passed down from the first generation Celestial Master. And this first generation Celestial Master was not the one from Longhu Mountain, but the master of the Yellow Emperor! The mystical arts passed down by such a legendary figure naturally had their profound mysteries. Therefore, they were able to see through Luo Chen’s true background.
However, it was precisely because they saw through Luo Chen’s true background. Whether it was Zhang Shoudao or Zhang Shouyi, they instantly understood that Luo Chen was absolutely someone they could not afford to provoke!
“A perfectly good cultivation method, yet you insisted on practising it into this state!” Luo Chen flicked his hand and slapped Zhang Shoudao’s face again.
And this time, Zhang Shoudao knelt down directly.
“Senior is right to lecture me!”
“Do you still want to kill people?” Luo Chen glanced at Zhang Shoudao, his gaze icy. Although there was no imposing manner at this moment, in Zhang Shoudao’s eyes, this was a peerless mountain! And this was just a corner of it!
“I will not kill anyone anymore. This junior truly failed to recognise Mount Tai.” Zhang Shoudao lowered his head and said.
“Enough. Your sinful karma of killing is too heavy. You have not yet escaped the cycle of cause and effect, yet you dare to recklessly create more killing karma?”
“Being destroyed by the Tongtian Seal today can be considered your own doing.” Luo Chen sneered.
“Senior, this junior is truly unwilling to accept this. Please, Senior, lend a hand to help me!” Zhang Shoudao said.
Since he could see through Luo Chen’s true background, he could naturally see that Luo Chen was capable of saving him.
“You are not yet qualified for me to help you.” Luo Chen picked up Lu Shuixian and walked towards the door.
Zhang Shoudao remained kneeling on the spot, and after a long while, he made up his mind. He had to find an opportunity to curry favour with Luo Chen, because in this world, only Luo Chen could save him. After all, hundreds of years of accumulation were destroyed in a single moment, and he was truly unwilling to accept it!
By the time Lu Shuixian woke up, she was already in the hospital. The room was already filled with quite a few people standing around. Lu Chuan and Lu Heshan had both come in person. After all, Lu Shuixian of the Lu family was injured, and Lu Zihao had died a tragic death! This was absolutely a major event for the Lu family!
Lu Chuan and Lu Heshan both had dark expressions on their faces.
“Shuixian, tell us, what exactly happened?” Lu Chuan asked with a dark face.
Because they had already asked Luo Chen beforehand, but Luo Chen had simply left a sentence telling them to ask Lu Shuixian themselves, and then ignored the Lu family members. But this matter was absolutely a major event! After all, Lu Zihao was the future successor of the Lu family, and he had died so inexplicably. And the fairy of the Lu family, Lu Shuixian, had also been seriously injured! Lu Chuan had even gathered many experts to guard outside the hospital at this moment. As long as the true culprit was confirmed, the Lu family would definitely spare no effort to surround and kill the other party for revenge!
Lu Shuixian recounted the events of the previous night based on her memory. However, she truly did not know what happened after she fell into a coma.
“Where is Luo Chen?”
“He definitely knows.” Lu Chuan said with a dark face. Lu Zihao was his son. Dying so inexplicably, this matter absolutely required someone to give him an explanation.
“Where is Luo Chen? Go and call Luo Chen over.” Lu Chuan said.
“Mr Luo is having breakfast with Mrs Shen at the restaurant opposite!”
“What the hell is he eating breakfast for?”
“My son is dead, and this man surnamed Luo actually has the mood to eat breakfast?”
“His future fiancée is lying in the hospital, and he still has the mood to eat breakfast?” Lu Chuan immediately started cursing.
He had never been optimistic about this marriage and was strongly opposed to it. Now that such a thing had happened, Luo Chen actually still had the mood to eat breakfast?
“Say less, and go invite Mr Luo over.” Lu Heshan reprimanded from the side.
A member of the Lu family outside the door ran out with his head lowered. In the ward, Lu Chuan looked at Lu Heshan.
“Dad, that man surnamed Luo is now just a cripple. Why are you insisting on forcing Shuixian to marry him?”
“In what way is he worthy of the current Shuixian?” Lu Chuan said dissatisfiedly.
“Sigh…” Lu Heshan sighed.
“Actually, this matter was not my idea either, understand?” Lu Heshan was also somewhat helpless. In fact, his friendliness towards Luo Chen was only superficial, and he had even deliberately praised Luo Chen in front of the Lu family members at the beginning. But if asked about his true thoughts, he really did look down on Luo Chen somewhat. After all, whatever potential, whatever future opportunities, were all said by the Celestial Master Mansion. He himself did not feel that Luo Chen had any chance of making a comeback.
“The Celestial Master Mansion?” Lu Chuan frowned.
“Dad, if what Shuixian says is true, the only people in the world who know the Tongtian Seal are from our Lu family and the Celestial Master Mansion.”
“Then…”
“Shut up!” Lu Heshan suddenly reprimanded.
Lu Chuan was right. The culprit was almost certainly someone from the Celestial Master Mansion. After all, in this world, besides the Lu family, only the Celestial Master Mansion knew the Tongtian Seal. But the Lu family relied on the Celestial Master Mansion. Even if the culprit was truly someone from the Celestial Master Mansion, what could the Lu family do about it?
However, this made Lu Chuan and Lu Heshan increasingly dissatisfied. Because firstly, this marriage was forced upon the Lu family by the Celestial Master Mansion. Secondly, Lu Zihao died at the hands of someone from the Celestial Master Mansion.
“You all leave first.” Lu Chuan spoke up and dismissed the people around them.
It was not until only Lu Heshan and Lu Shuixian were left in the ward. Only then did Lu Chuan slowly speak.
“Dad, do you really want to live under someone else’s feet for your entire life?” Lu Chuan was different from Lu Heshan. He was younger and more decisive in his actions.
“The reason our Lu family has what it has today is entirely because of the Celestial Master Mansion!” Lu Heshan sighed. Although he did not have Lu Chuan’s decisiveness, after these two incidents, how could Lu Heshan not have grievances?
“But is everything the Celestial Master Mansion is doing now still worth our absolute devotion?”
“Especially regarding this matter of the Luo Wuji marriage, on what grounds should our Lu family protect a cripple?”
