Chapter 60

"Xuan'er, why have you returned?" Lu Yu turned to see Lu Xuan, feeling a mix of worry and relief. She was relieved that Lu Xuan was safe, but worried that his return might mean he couldn't escape the clutches of the Long family.

Lu Qiong couldn't help but speak up, "Xiao Xuan, you shouldn't have come back."

Seeing that his father and sister were unharmed, Lu Xuan felt a great sense of relief. It was a good thing he had arrived in time; otherwise, the outcome would have been unimaginable.

He immediately reassured Lu Yu, "Don't worry. With Uncle Jiu and Elder Xu here, I want to see if Long Zhan dares to make a move today."

Then he turned to Lu Qiong, a smile appearing on his face, "Sister, I've already killed that Long Tai. As long as I'm around, I will never let anyone harm you!"

Seeing the determined Lu Xuan, Lu Qiong's beautiful eyes softened. How long had it been since that playful and mischievous little brother had grown to this point, no longer needing her protection, but instead being able to protect her.

Lu Qiong spoke gently, "I know. Mr. Yan already told me. However, you are still too impulsive. Now you have completely offended the Long family."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan turned to look at Long Zhan and the others outside the door, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. "So what if I offended them? Anyone who dares to harm my family will one day be eliminated by me!"

Due to the arrival of Lu Xuan and Elder Xu, the battle suddenly stopped. Long Zhan's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to urge his servants to advance, weighing the situation.

At this moment, a carriage slowly stopped nearby, and Xia Chenxi and Lin Xinyi, two graceful figures, stepped down from the carriage.

"The Long family of Green Mountain Town, what a great show of power. In my Lincheng, you kill and exterminate clans as you please, treating the city lord's residence as if it were nothing?" Xia Chenxi's calm voice echoed.

Hearing Xia Chenxi's words, Long Zhan suddenly realized why she seemed familiar. It was only after hearing her words that he remembered this woman was the only daughter of the city lord of Lincheng, Xia Tao.

Damn! How did the Lu family get involved with the city lord's residence? Long Zhan's expression was unpredictable, and the situation was becoming increasingly complicated.

Although martial arts were prevalent, and martial artists often relied on their strength to kill and set fires, Green Mountain Town was still nominally under the jurisdiction of the city lord's residence. The Long family, relying on Elder Sun's power, committed all sorts of evils in Green Mountain Town. The city lord's residence might turn a blind eye, but that didn't mean they couldn't investigate.

Xia Chenxi and Lin Xinyi walked straight toward Lu Xuan. Intimidated by her presence, the Long family's servants involuntarily made way for them. Yao Lei, trembling with fear, followed behind.

Approaching Lu Xuan, Xia Chenxi couldn't help but look at Lu Qiong beside him and smiled, "This must be the Lu family's sister, truly a beauty. Chenxi greets the Lu family's sister."

Saying this, Xia Chenxi bowed to Lu Qiong, and Lin Xinyi did the same, giggling, "The Lu family's sister is indeed beautiful. No wonder Long Tai had his eye on you."

Lu Qiong was flustered by the two young ladies' bows, her face turning red as she quickly supported them, "I don't deserve such a grand gesture. In terms of beauty, the two of you far surpass me."

With Xia Chenxi's arrival, Long Zhan dared not act rashly. He turned to Elder Sun and asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law, what should we do now?"

Elder Sun's face was dark as he looked at Uncle Jiu and Elder Xu, "It seems today's matter will end here. The person who just arrived is also an elder of the Wind Sword Sect."

Long Zhan's heart sank even further. Another elder of the Wind Sword Sect? What kind of background does the Lu family have? They had never shown their strength before, but today, two elders of the Wind Sword Sect had come to their aid, along with the support of the city lord's residence.

If it were any other time, Long Zhan would have already tried to make amends, but this time...

"What about Tai'er's revenge? Should we just let it go? I can't bear it!" Long Zhan said with hatred.

Elder Sun smiled cruelly, "Of course not. Lu Xuan will still enter the Wind Sword Sect. Once he's there, without the protection of Yan Jiu and Xu Da, we'll see what he can do! Let's leave it at this for today. Let's go!"

Although extremely unwilling, Long Zhan knew he couldn't take revenge today and said, "Then I leave it to you, Father-in-law."

As they were about to leave with their servants, a figure flashed, and Uncle Jiu blocked their path.

"Sun Xing, you come and go as you please. Don't you think it's too simple?"

"You've already killed people. What more do you want?" Elder Sun said, trying to appear tough, but he knew that with Yan Jiu's nature, this matter wouldn't be so easily resolved.

Uncle Jiu sneered, "They brought it upon themselves. What does it have to do with me? If I hadn't arrived in time, the Lu family would have been bathed in blood."

"Do you think you can keep us all here?" Elder Sun glared at Uncle Jiu, knowing he had given enough face. If it came to a fight, he would have to fight to the death.

Uncle Jiu didn't answer but turned to Lu Xuan, "Lu Xuan, what do you say? With Elder Xu and me here, as long as you give the word, no one here will leave!"

Upon hearing Uncle Jiu's words, the Long family's people panicked. They had already seen Uncle Jiu's abilities. If not for Elder Sun restraining him, they would have all been slaughtered.

Kill or not kill?

Lu Xuan's gaze swept over the Long family's people. Each martial artist who met his gaze lowered their head, not daring to look at him. Their lives were now in Lu Xuan's hands.

If Lu Xuan said the word "kill," even with Elder Sun's protection, Long Zhan might survive, but the others would certainly die.

Long Zhan was also terrified. He never imagined the outcome would be like this! He had come with many servants to exterminate the Lu family, but now his life was in the hands of someone he had never paid much attention to—Lu Xuan!

At this moment, Lu Xuan's thoughts raced. If he asked Uncle Jiu and Elder Xu to act, he would owe them a great favor. However, if he didn't kill them, given Long Zhan's nature, even if he sent his father and sister to Lincheng, Lu Xuan wouldn't feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's eyes hardened, and he made his decision. Compared to the safety of his family, what were favors? Favors could be repaid, but if anything happened to his family, there would be no way to make it right.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Lu Xuan firmly said one word.

"Kill!"
