C25 Go Home

The matter of the Trial of Blood and Fire had come to an end in the Outer Sect of Taihao Sect.

It was not unusual for Kang Hong to survive among the disciples of the Outer Sect, because she had the strength to do so.

However, Yu Lian had died inside. Lu Ming and Wei Shiyi coming out alive had caused a huge impact to the disciples of the Outer Sect. They were shocked and envious.

The disciples of the Outer Sect who had come out of the blood red trial alive would surely have great achievements in the future. Not to mention being valued by the Taihao Sect, they might even become inner circle disciples. They would be called Immortal Master by the common people.

Therefore, the fame of Lu Ming, Wei Shiyi, and the others could be compared to Ye Qingyi, who was one of the five great disciples of the Outer Sect. Now, he had become one of the four great disciples!

However, people were afraid of being famous, pigs were afraid of being strong.

Those disciples of the Outer Sect who liked Ye Qingyi and the other four great disciples of the Outer Sect couldn't bear to see a disciple riding on Ye Qingyi's head. They couldn't even stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Therefore, they sorted out the information about Lu Ming and Wei Shiyi. They spread the news that Lu Ming and the others would be able to come out alive. It was very likely that it was because Senior Sister Kang Hong was protecting them. In fact, it could even be said that... The reason senior brother Yu Lian died was probably because they were dragging him down.

This rumor caused quite a stir in the Outer Sect. It caused Lu Ming, Wei Shiyi, and the others' reputation to drop to the bottom, causing them to curse.

Lu Ming didn't care about this at all.

There were many ordinary villages and villages scattered around the Wolong Mountains, and only a small city could be found about a hundred miles southwest of the Wolong Mountains.

This city was the Cangwu City.

Lu Ming asked for a Beast Horse that could travel a thousand miles a day in the servant village. As expected, it only took him half a day to reach the city gate of the Cangwu City.

Xu Jing did not follow him because he had something urgent to attend to and would be a day or two late.

Lu Ming also heaved a sigh of relief at first, as he was afraid that Xu Jing would follow him to Cangwu City.

After experiencing the cave incident in Blood Forest, Lu Ming and Wei Shiyi shared the same thought.

Someone from the Taihao Sect was refining Blood Evil Pill, and it was very likely that his status was not low.

Therefore, he suspected that Xu Jing was not wrong.

Furthermore, he also suspected Wei Shiyi. It was because Wei Shiyi's background was mysterious, and he knew a lot of things.

Lu Ming frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Even if it is not Elder Xu Jing, you must be careful."

They ruined that mysterious alchemist's pill concoction plan.

Lu Ming couldn't figure out how important this plan was to him, but this mysterious alchemist wouldn't let it go easily.

Thinking about the scene where the mysterious alchemist almost killed Armored Man with the Puppet Manipulation Technique, Lu Ming became more and more eager to improve his strength.

"When we get back home, we will try the function of the Sword Realm mentioned by the system." Lu Ming held the reins and followed behind a group of merchant carriages, slowly entering the Cangwu City.

The Lu Family was one of the two big families in the Cangwu City. The mansion was located at the end of a street in the western part of the city. It was near the famous Xiyue Lake in the Cangwu City. The environment was quiet and peaceful. The Lu Family controlled half of the properties in the Cangwu City, mainly because of the cloth, silk, and a restaurant. In recent years, they had also learned how to reclaim medicinal fields and plant some medicinal herbs to sell. But compared to the Liu Family, it was still much worse.

The Liu Family was another big family in the Cangwu City, and its residence was located in the east side of the city. They started their business by relying on herbs and iron ore. Most importantly, the Liu Family had been in the Cangwu City for a hundred years. The family also had the inheritance of reclaiming medicinal fields and planting herbs. If they wanted to defeat the Liu Family in terms of medicinal herbs, the Lu Family would lose terribly.

As the saying goes, two tigers cannot live in one mountain.

Not to mention, the Lu Family had caught up with the Liu Family. They were on par with the Liu Family step by step. The Liu Family couldn't stand it. After all, he was the sole ruler of the Cangwu City. All the resources belonged to him, so how could he allow others to divide them? Therefore, during the process of the development of the Lu Family, there had been many collisions and obstructions. Until now, they were like fire and water, incompatible with each other.

Lu Ming walked into the Cangwu City and looked at the busy streets. When he heard the peddler shouting, he felt a sense of familiarity and urgency in his heart. A slight smile appeared on his face as he muttered, "I'm back..."

Lu Ming held the reins and followed the route in his memory, heading towards the Lu Family mansion.

Not long after he blended into the crowd, a man with a knife and a sword walked out of a teahouse on the side of the street.

The man with a sword in his hand wore black cloth clothes and a bamboo hat. His face could not be seen clearly, so he said, "It should be him."

The man with the knife had unkempt clothes, so he must be someone who was not good at combing. With a cold expression, he nodded and said, "Yes."

The blade-wielding man said, "When will you start?"

The blade-wielding man said coldly, "It's dark."

The man with the sword seemed to be very familiar with the man with the sword. He said helplessly, "Can't we end the battle quickly?"

The blade-wielding man said, "There are many people, so it's troublesome."

The sword-wielding man said, "Alright, it'll be dark when it's dark."

The two of them followed Lu Ming, who was holding the Beast Horse, under the strange gazes of the pedestrians on the street.

When Lu Ming arrived at the mansion of Lu Family, he found that there were already five people waiting at the entrance.

One of them was his father, Lu Yuan. His hair was tied into a small knot on the top of his head, and he had a resolute face. There were two tufts of beard under his nose, and his eyes were bright and had a dignified aura. He must have been the Patriarch for many years.

There were two men and a woman beside Lu Yuan.

The girl was no more than ten years old. Her name was Lu Xun, and she was the daughter of Lu Ming, Second Uncle. At this moment, she was holding an ice candied gourd in her hand and biting it. Her big and round eyes were staring at the long street. She must have been waiting for someone to appear in her eyes.

The moment she saw Lu Ming, she blinked her eyes and smiled.

The middle-aged man was called Zhou Huaiyuan. He was wearing a tight suit and was the housekeeper of Lu Family. He was also an elder of Lu Family. He specialized in teaching the guards and disciples of Lu Family.

When he saw Lu Ming, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

The other two gates were guarded by guards, and their faces were stern.

Lu Yuan saw Lu Ming holding the Beast Horse and slowly approaching from the other end of the street. The mind of the head of the family, who had needed to calm down for so many years, was stirred up.

He walked down the stairs and quickly walked up to Lu Ming.

"You're back!" Lu Yuan stood in front of Lu Ming and waited for a long time. In the end, he only said one sentence.

However, this sentence represented a lot of emotions in Lu Yuan. He missed, worried, worried, and many other things. As a father, he was worried that his son would suffer alone outside.

Lu Ming looked at Lu Yuan, who was now his father. He felt a throbbing feeling from the depths of his blood, as well as the feeling of a fishbone stuck in his throat. It made his eyes wet. He subconsciously shouted, "Father!"

Lu Yuan's body froze. He did not know what to do. It had been three years since they last met. Now that they had met, he felt a lot of emotions and helplessness.

Lu Xun suddenly ran over and hugged Lu Ming's thigh. She looked up at Lu Ming and said with a smile, "Brother Lu Ming, you are back!"

Lu Ming touched her head and said, "Yes, I am back."

Zhou Huaiyuan walked over and said, "Master, young master just came back. The road was bumpy and he always stood there. It is not good. Furthermore, this is outside the mansion..."

Lu Yuan reacted and quickly pulled Lu Ming back to the mansion. He also ordered the guards to settle the Beast Horse that Lu Ming had brought.
