Chapter 329 Confessing Back Then, a Few Rats
Lu Jin stared at Li Muxuan in the distance, his voice filled with pure killing intent. He repeated, "Wu Gensheng, Li Muxuan, I will definitely kill them!"
He stood up again, his white robe now stained with mud and dust, making him no longer ethereal and otherworldly, but rather a mortal.
But it is precisely this mortal appearance that better reflects Lu Jin's state of mind and murderous intent at this moment.
The contradiction between his previous appearance as an immortal and the three poisons he had revealed vanished in an instant along with his distracting thoughts. At this moment, he only wanted to kill Li Muxuan purely, purely because of himself, to kill this enemy.
He stood up again, his back straighter and more upright than before, fueled by the pure killing intent within him, because this time he had found his reason for killing.
It was no longer that lie that deceived himself and the world; it was simply because he wanted to kill, nothing more!
"That year, Li Muxuan and Wugensheng came up the mountain posing as disciples. We were unaware of their presence beforehand, but my master and the Left Sect Leader noticed these two uninvited guests."
Lu Jin turned back to look at the mottled vermilion gate of the Sanyi Gate, and at the broken plaque, and told his peers around him the truth of what happened back then.
"The master did not expose them on the spot. Instead, he treated these two uninvited guests as disciples of the Sanyi Sect. A long time passed like this."
"But these two came with a purpose, and they couldn't hide it for long, so they came out on their own."
Everyone remained silent. For a moment, even the old men who were settling accounts with Li Muxuan stopped what they were doing.
Ignoring everyone's reactions, Lu Jin sat down on the steps in front of his house and looked at Li Muxuan, who was still a few steps away from death, and continued in a deep voice.
When Master Li met Li Muxuan, he first sincerely apologized to him in public because of some old things and reflected on his behavior back then.
"And that wretched boy Li Muxuan couldn't even utter a coherent word when faced with his sect leader's apology."
"Next, it's Wugensheng's turn... Zhang Chulan, you bunch of little guys, you've been listening for so long, it's time to show yourselves!"
Lu Jin was about to get to the crux of the past when he suddenly stopped speaking and threw a punch at the shady side of the trees beside him.
The force of the punch, accompanied by a gale, instantly revealed the power of the dragon and tiger at the second level of reverse life, splitting through the dense foliage and lifting the mask of the person hiding in the shadows.
It was Zhang Chulan and his group, who were led by Lu Linglong and Lu Lin and hidden to the side, that were present. Of the Xu brothers from North China, only Xu Si was present.
Zhang Lingyu hid behind Zhang Chulan, his face covered, neither speaking nor stepping forward. His secretive manner contrasted sharply with the open and aboveboard behavior of Zhang Chulan and the others.
When their figures were revealed, the old Celestial Master's smiling face completely fell. He reached out and wiped his face, revealing a helpless expression, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Lingyu.
Lu Qian seemed oblivious. Ever since he sent out that wisp of spring breeze, he had been standing still, acting as a shield for Lu Ci and Wang Ai, playing with his whisk.
It's actually quite funny. There were at least a dozen senior masters present who had reached the pinnacle of their skills and techniques. They might be quite different from the old master and himself, but they were all experts who had reached the highest level in their respective fields.
Not to mention that most of them are living fossils who survived the flames of war and the calamities of the past.
What kind of audacity did they have to let them stand by and watch in such a situation, as if they were in an empty house?
It couldn't be that the fact that the various parties didn't directly attack them during the previous Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, and that the love-struck Xia Liuqing and Mei Jinfeng of Quanxing gave them the wrong impression that these old people were nothing special, could it?
Alas, has no one ever told them that in the world of supernatural beings, it's better to bully a poor young man than an old man?
These old guys may look like they could be blown away by the wind, but when they get really angry, they are all ruthless and formidable.
Those without some tricks up their sleeves would have been dead somewhere long ago.
This group of people had known about the few little mice spying nearby for a long time, but they pretended not to know in order to give face to the Old Master and Lu Jin. But now that Lu Jin had revealed the truth, it gave them quite a shock.
After throwing a punch, Lu Jin didn't even raise his head, as if he already knew the number of people and their corresponding identities. He simply gave the order in a cold manner as the head of a family.
"Linglong, Lin'er, no matter how much trouble you two caused before, I never had the heart to discipline you. Because back then, your great-grandfather never had the heart to discipline me either."
"But today, I'm putting my words right here!"
"If you ever have any further dealings with Zhang Chulan and his group, get out of the Lu family and never take the Lu surname again!"
"Old Master Lu!"
Before Zhang Chulan could even try to explain or salvage the situation, and before he could understand what he had done to offend this ruthless and cunning Lu family head, Lu Jin continued speaking with his unwavering coldness.
"Zhang Chulan, I used to think that you were the most like the Old Master, but now I realize I was wrong."
"You're not like the old master; that shamelessness of yours is fake."
"Young man, you most resemble your grandfather, Zhang Huaiyi, who was known as one of the Thirty-Six Thieves!"
Seeing that Lu Jin's words were getting more and more serious, and even the way he addressed her had changed, Xu Si, who had been somewhat nonchalant, suddenly became a little anxious.
"Old Master Lu..."
"Manager Xu, your company in North China is quite impressive."
Lu Jin remained as cold and sarcastic as ever. Although he made some teasing remarks, he never gave the group a second glance. Instead, he looked directly at Feng Baobao, stared at her wooden appearance for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
"You're getting more and more confused as you get older. I felt you looked familiar back on Longhu Mountain. Not only were your appearance and eyes familiar, but even your mannerisms were so familiar."
"If it weren't for encountering that wretched Li Muxuan today, even I would have been fooled."
His calm words sent chills down Zhang Chulan and Xu Si's spines. They had thought that if so many senior figures at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony hadn't recognized Feng Baobao, then it was even less likely that anyone would recognize her now.
At worst, he could just make up an excuse and fool them a little, but he never expected that today would be the day that Lu Jin remembered most vividly and clearly.
Feng Baobao seemed oblivious to the tense atmosphere on the field. She stared at the ants at her feet with wide eyes, like a child, and even picked up a broken twig to tease the ant colony.
Lu Jin tilted his head, a hint of curiosity appearing on his usually cold face. He continued to scrutinize Feng Baobao, his smile becoming more genuine, but without any murderous intent, only the joy of discovering a clue.
"So that person's surname is Feng."
