Chapter 58

As Long Zhan finished speaking, a person behind him responded and began to gather the Long family's servants.

Soon, dozens of servants gathered in the Long family courtyard, awaiting orders. These servants all had cultivation levels above the fourth stage of Body Tempering, with a few at the fifth stage. As for Long Zhan himself, he was at the seventh stage of Body Tempering!

Such strength was nothing in the Wind Sword Sect, but in the small Green Mountain Town, it was enough to sweep away any small family!

Long Zhan, with a face full of killing intent, stood before the servants and said, "Follow me!"

At this moment, everyone knew what had happened. The youngest son, whom the master loved the most, had been killed by that waste of the Lu family. This was unacceptable. If they did not flatten the Lu family, the Long family would not be the Long family.

The group, filled with murderous intent, set out and headed straight for the Lu family. Passersby, seeing this scene, quickly moved out of the way. Even on a normal day, they would turn and run when they encountered people from the Long family, let alone now with Long Zhan leading the charge, his face dark and ominous.

Although the Lu family was some distance from the Long family, the entire Green Mountain Town was not very large. It did not take long for Long Zhan and his group to reach the Lu family's gate.

At this moment, the Lu family's gate was tightly closed, with no sign of anyone, as if they had anticipated Long Zhan's arrival.

Looking at the closed gate, Long Zhan's face turned grim. He coldly snorted and said, "Guilty conscience, huh? You dare to hide? Where can you hide?"

He then shouted, "Lu Yu, come out and face your death!"

His shout echoed like a stone thrown into the sea, receiving no response.

Long Zhan's patience had reached its limit. He was not here to pay a visit but to kill!

Without another word, he charged forward and punched the gate with all his might, as if trying to vent his anger through this punch.

The full strength of the seventh stage of Body Tempering burst forth, a power that was far beyond what Lu Xuan could match. Long Zhan's punch had a force of nearly 7,000 pounds!

The punch landed solidly on the gate, and with a loud boom, a huge hole was punched through the Lu family's gate.

Raising his fist again, Long Zhan prepared to strike another blow, but suddenly, a powerful surge of yuan energy shot out from the hole he had created!

The speed of this yuan energy was extremely fast, and Long Zhan had no time to react before it hit him. He felt a tremendous force, and he was instantly sent flying, spewing blood from his mouth.

A figure leaped up and caught the flying Long Zhan, who was none other than Elder Sun.

When the yuan energy struck, Elder Sun had immediately sensed it, and his face changed. Unfortunately, he was a step too late and could not block it for Long Zhan, so he could only fly up to catch him.

At this moment, a calm voice sounded, "I am here drinking tea with Mr. Lu. What kind of stray dog dares to come and cause trouble, disrupting our enjoyment?"

Long Zhan had already regained his footing. The attack had not been a killing blow, and although he was spitting blood, he was not seriously injured. However, hearing this voice, his eyes filled with shock and doubt. When did the Lu family have such a powerful expert? He could clearly tell that the person who had launched the attack was far beyond the Body Tempering stage!

Elder Sun, on the other side, frowned. He had already recognized the voice.

"Yan Jiu, you came quite quickly!"

The person who had just struck Long Zhan was none other than Uncle Jiu!

Earlier, in the car, Lu Xuan had been worried that the Long family might take action against the Lu family in advance, so he had asked Uncle Jiu to come early. It turned out to be a good decision! If Uncle Jiu had been a step too late, a tragedy might have occurred.

As Elder Sun spoke, the Lu family's gate slowly opened, and three figures appeared at the entrance. The first was Uncle Jiu, and beside him stood a middle-aged man and a young woman. The woman was not dressed in luxurious clothing, but she was extremely beautiful, leaving people in awe.

These two were naturally Lu Xuan's father, Lu Yu, and his sister, Lu Qiong.

Looking at the large group in front of him, Uncle Jiu paid them no mind, only looking at Elder Sun and saying, "Do I need to report my movements to you? Or are you here with so many people to drink tea with me?"

Seeing Uncle Jiu, Long Zhan felt a sense of familiarity and then remembered. Wasn't this the shopkeeper from the Treasure Pavilion in Lincheng? How did he have a connection with the Lu family?

He immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Father-in-law, who is this person? Why is he speaking up for the Lu family?"

Elder Sun's brows furrowed. Uncle Jiu's quick arrival was completely unexpected. He had planned to wipe out the Lu family before Uncle Jiu and the others arrived, avenging Long Tai. Even if Uncle Jiu and the others investigated afterward, they would not be able to do anything to him. But now that Uncle Jiu was here, it would not be easy to kill in front of him.

"This person is named Yan Jiu, also an elder of the Wind Sword Sect. He was once a fellow elder of the Fist Sect, and his strength is not inferior to mine."

Hearing this, Long Zhan was slightly shocked. He knew that his father-in-law had already broken through the Body Tempering stage, reaching the next realm, with immense strength. He did not expect this person to be as strong as him!

Clenching his teeth, Long Zhan said, "No matter what, I must avenge Tai! I ask you, Father-in-law, to help me hold this person back. As long as he does not act, the rest of the Lu family will be easy to kill!"

Elder Sun's gaze sharpened. Previously, at the Sword Tower, Uncle Jiu and Elder Xu had teamed up to suppress him, and he had been holding back a grudge. If he did not release it, his cultivation might never advance, and over time, it might even regress.

"Yan Jiu, it seems you are determined to meddle in this matter..." Elder Sun slowly said.

"Lu Xuan is a disciple of the Wind Sword Sect. Protecting his family is our duty as elders. What can you do if I decide to meddle?" Uncle Jiu sneered.

Elder Sun's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and a set of flowing, colorful boxing gloves suddenly appeared in his hands. As he put on the gloves, he said, "Since you left the Wind Sword Sect, I haven't had a chance to fight you. Today, I want to see if you have improved over the years!"

Seeing Elder Sun prepare to fight, Uncle Jiu's expression also became serious. He was confident he could defeat Elder Sun, but he still needed to take care of Lu Yu and Lu Qiong.

At this moment, Lu Yu also saw Uncle Jiu's predicament. His gaze became resolute, and he bowed deeply to Uncle Jiu, taking a deep breath and saying, "Mr. Yan, for my son to be recognized by you is his greatest fortune. I am not afraid to die, but I beg you to take my daughter away. When Xuan has achieved in martial arts in the future, he can come back to avenge me."
