Chapter 288 Visiting
“Is there a suitable candidate in the family that I asked you to look for?”
Thinking about this, Su Li said at once with fierce eyes. Xuan He stunned, and bowed his head, “I dare not neglect Highly Great Master’s command. There is indeed a suitable candidate right now, but…”
“What’s the matter? Can that family be stronger than the Spiritual Realm?”
Feeling a fierce glance from Su Li, Xuan He immediately sweated on his forehead, and said at once, “No, no, no matter how strong the Lu Family is, it can’t be much stronger than an ant in front of the Spiritual Realm.”
“So, any other problems?”
For Su Li’s bold tone, Xuan He nodded helplessly, and also understood that the newly emerged Highly Great Master was not a gentle and surreal woman like Great Master Jingxin, but a girl who was more decisive and braver than a man!
“Well, let’s go to the Lu Family when we get ready.” Speaking of this, Su Li paused, “By the way, did the person I arranged for you have arrived?”
As Su Li mentioned this, Xuan He finally showed a smile on his face, “Childe Fang Yuan and other persons have reached two days ago, and they are resting in the branch.”
Although the spiritual circle was the home of Xiaoshen Palace, the people of Spiritual Realm spread all over the neverland, so, it was not difficult to find Fang Yuan and others.
“That’s good. Let’s go and meet them.”
With a big wave of hands, Su Li took the lead and Xuan He followed closely behind. Maybe even Su Li herself didn’t find out that her manner at this moment seemed more elusory than the previous She-Devil’s
That was the n.o.bility came from the soul and the life level…
The Spiritual Realm of Nanjiang Country was the same as that of Dahan Country. Su Li came to the guest room under the guidance of Xuan He, and soon met Fang Yuan, Qu Qingning, and Fang Mu after half a year.
Except them, there was also Yin Xuetong who was sent by Qu Xiao under Su Li’s entrustment.
In this way, all those involved in Nanjiang Country had arrived.
“Su Li, what’s the matter? Are you also caught by them?”
Qu Qingning was shocked and doubtful, because they were forcibly brought by the people of the Spiritual Realm, and could not resist at all. Now Su Li also appeared here, so, they couldn’t help thinking about something bad.
Before Su Li said, Xuan He spoke for her, “Childe Qu, you must be kidding. Since we are the subordinates of Highly Great Master, how can we be disrespectful to her?”
As soon as Xuan He spoke, the four people in the room suddenly shocked, and even Fang Yuan’s expression changed. He was arrested by Xuan He in person. With his current practice, he couldn’t resist at all. He was caught as easy as an eagle catching a chick.
Such a powerful existence definitely was a senior of the longevity realm, but he even obeyed Su Li?!
This person was not a man from the Wanjian Sect. Su Li still had such a terrifying force?!
“Well, enough. You leave first.”
Su Li frowned, and Xuan He noticed that he had apple-polished in a wrong way. He could only give a wry smile secretly, nodded, and left cautiously. Before he left, he did not forget to close the door gently, humble as the dust.
As soon as Xuan He walked away, the atmosphere inside the house suddenly relaxed a lot.
“Su Li, is it you who brought us here from the spiritual circle? That middle-aged man’s cultivation is so horrible, but how could you…”
Qu Qingning asked impetuously, which was driven by his nature. Although he was arrested, he asked for news every day along the way after he found out that they were only under house arrest. However, he still didn’t know where it was. All men were so tight-mouthed that made him crazy.
“Enough. I’m fortunate to have control over a small force and it’s much easier to do things.”
Su Li replied briefly, and finally let Qu Qingning release.
Hearing this understatement, Fang Yuan, who had some speculation, couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
Could the Spiritual Realm be considered as a small force?
In the past six months, his experience in the spiritual circle had made him fully understand the horror background of the Spiritual Realm. It was definitely a giant whose level was as same as or higher than that of the Xiaoshen Palace. However, now Su Li said… it already belonged to her?
Su Li glanced at Fang Yuan without a word, and continued to say, “In short, this encounter must benefit me. Now since I have enough strength, I decide to complete the agreement with you first.”
Agreement?
The vocabulary was so unfamiliar that the four people who heard this sentence were stunned before reacted, but their faces all changed dramatically later.
“Su Li, do you want to destroy the royal family of Nanjiang Country?!”
Yin Xuetong asked incredulously with her beautiful eyes being widely open.
Were people of the Wanjian Sect used by Su Li?
For her, she couldn’t figure out that the so-called “small force” was so horrible and giant, so, she immediately had a misunderstanding.
Su Li didn’t explain, but nodded, “Yes, you follow me to the Lu Family tonight.”
“Lu Family? One of the four major families? They haven’t been exterminated yet?” Qu Qingning said in shock.
“You know the Lu Family?”
Su Li frowned. She never asked about the information about the Lu Family in detail, because she only needed a springboard to enter the palace. However, Qu Qingning’s expression suggested that the Lu Family seemed complex.
“I know better about the Lu Family.”
Fang Mu, who had been with Fang Yuan as his obedient younger brother, suddenly made a sound, and said cautiously, “The four families in Nanjiang Country are the Fang Family, the Qu Family, the Yin Family, and the Lu Family. It’s easy for you to guess something, isn’t it?”
Su Li had understood, and she nodded and said, “I see. You are from the other three of the four major families.”
“Right. I was only a collateral offspring of the Fang Family at that time, but I had a friend who was one of the offspring of the Fang Family, so, I am familiar with the Lu Family.” Fang Mu frowned, “However, the strength of the Lu Family seems weak, and is comparable to my family. What exactly did they rely on to survive for so long under the strife of the Wei Family?”
It shall be noticed that the other three were destroyed for several years, so, it was abnormal for the Lu Family to survive.
“No matter what reasons, the Lu Family is a spent force. Otherwise, Xuan He won’t choose it as a springboard. You make a preparation and follow me to visit the Lu Family at night.”
As Su Li commanded, everyone nodded gently. Fang Yuan secretly kept the name Su Li said in mind. The middle-aged man was called Xuan He.
It soon approached the night. In Tiangu City, the capital of Nanjiang Country, a house of thousands of hectares in the south of the city was completely bright.
“Eldest Brother, Second Brother, do you still want to persist? If you do not give up, we will end up like the Fang, Yin and Qu families!”
In the main hall of the front yard, there were three frowning middle-aged men. The faces of the three were similar, so, it was not difficult to see that they were blood brothers.
It was the youngest-looking middle-aged man who was speaking, about 30 years old. Although he was dressed in a beautiful dress with a jade crown on his head, he looked so anxious and seemed to be persuading.
He was the third head of the Lu Family, Lu Jiang.
“Third Brother, it’s not that I do not want to concede, but now our Lu Family has lost the ability to compromise.”
The gaunt man who sat in the first place began to speak helplessly. In these years, the family had been struggling to survive, and some of his black hair had turned white, which made him look more like a 70-years-old man.
Lu Jiang was stunned, and his face paled at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. “Eldest Brother, how about the personal poisonous insect king of our family?”
“Third Brother, don’t mention it. Eldest Brother has done his best, even feeding that insect with his own essence and blood. Unfortunately, after the death of Grand Elder, our family can no longer find anyone who can be compatible with the personal poisonous insect king and can’t get essence and blood of pract.i.tioners of the longevity realm. Half a month ago, the insect king had been… starved to death.”
Lu He, the second head, sighed deeply, and finally chose to confess to his third brother. If he continued to keep the secret to himself, it would be uncertain if Lu Jiang would do something.
“Dead… dead… dead…”
Lu Jiang murmured with dull eyes, and suddenly became crazy with ghastly laugh.
“It’s you!! It’s your fault!! If it wasn’t you who didn’t contribute the personal poisonous insect king to the royal family for your selfishness, how would our Lu Family end up so desperately! It’s over… Everything is over… Our Lu Family will also be the same as the other three…”
Watching the third brother go mad, Lu Hai closed his eyes in pain. His expression seemed regretful, but more was helpless and complicated.
At that time, relying on the strength of the personal poisonous insect king, he was able to counteract the longevity realm, so, the Lu Family had a chance to survive under the persecution of Wei Family. The Wei Family wanted to gain the personal poisonous insect king and was unwilling to attack them for a long time. Therefore, the Lu Family could survive for several years.
But all three brothers knew the disadvantage of the insect king was that it was… extremely difficult to feed!
Each poisonous insect had certain food, such as the Sound Acquaintance of Su Li, which was fed on singing; but the insect of the Lu Family was fed on essence and blood!
That personal poisonous insect king had an extremely high grade, which was powerful enough for a senior of the inborn realm to cross a great realm to fight. Relatively, its requirements for essence and blood became extremely harsh.
Either someone in the Lu Family had the same blood with their ancestors and reached a very high degree of being compatible with the personal poisonous insect king; or they had to feed it with the blood of pract.i.tioners of the longevity realm. Otherwise, the most powerful poisonous insect would be only a small insect and starved to death…
“I didn’t expect that the personal poisonous insect king died so suddenly… But Third Brother, have you never thought about it that with the fierce style of the Wei Family, even if we donated the insect, there would be no change in the end.”
Lu He was relatively calm, and made the relations.h.i.+p clear, but Lu Jiang didn’t listen to him at all, and he still murmured, “It’s over…”
When it came to mentality, he was undoubtedly the worst of the three brothers.
“Now, we can only lead people to flee in advance. Fortunately, a few years ago, I transferred all children of the clan. Even if we were all dead, the family heritage would not be exterminated.”
There was an ugly smile on Lu Hai’s face, and only this could give him a little comfort.
“Head! Head! It’s bad! Someone is coming!”
At this moment, a gatekeeper suddenly came in to report. Now any servants who still stayed in the Lu Family were loyal, so, even if he was so reckless, Lu Hai didn’t say anything, but stood up with a body shock. He changed his bitter face, showing the majesty that the head of a family should have, and said loudly,
“Who is that to visit in the midnight? It is inconvenient for us to meet guests now. Please go back.”
It didn’t take long after he said that, and a teasing voice came from afar, “Uncle Lu, I haven’t seen you for years. You are still so unfriendly.”
