The news that the Luo family Great Ancestor was hosting a celebration at the Luo family ancestral home had spread throughout the world of Cultivators in Huaxia. In this time, all the influential Cultivators in Huaxia had gathered one after the other.
Even those that did not go sent representatives from the younger generation to attend the celebrations.
An Invincible Vajra Level master was strong enough to influence matters on a global scale.
Outside the main gate to the Luo family’s compound, there was a large gathering of big shots from the world of Cultivators that one would rarely see on a daily basis.
Chen Sheng was a new member of the Zhe Province Agency of Special Affairs, and he was only recruited into the Agency because he had recently awakened his magic.
After a period of training, he had finally been let out into the field to carry out missions.
However, he did not expect his first mission to actually be maintaining security.
Chen Sheng was a young man in his twenties. He found a corner to sit down, and next to him was his senior who had joined the Agency of Special Affairs many years earlier. His senior’s name was Zhang Teng, a middle-aged man in his thirties, and was also their team leader for this mission.
“Team leader, who are these Luo family people anyway? What kind of important people are we dealing with, that even we at the Agency of Special Affairs have to provide security for them!” Chen Sheng grumbled, slightly discontented.
Zhang Teng withdrew a pack of cigarettes from his front pockets, taking out two sticks and passing one to Chen Sheng. After lighting up his cigarette and taking the time to enjoy a long puff, he replied, “You came into this game late, so it’s natural that you don’t know about them. I’ll give you the rundown. This Luo family is no ordinary bunch and is the top family in Zhe Province, which a legendary Invincible Vajra Level master in their clan, holding the fort. Do you know what that means, to be an Invincible Vajra level master?”
“What does it mean?” Chen Sheng did not understand. All he knew was that an Invincible Vajra Level master was very strong, but he was not clear on the specifics of what the implications of this were.
Zhang Teng looked Chen Sheng in the eye and said, “An Invincible Vajra Level master is an existence on the same level as the senior officials of the Inner Palace!”
Hearing this, Chen Sheng inadvertently sucked in a breath of cold air. He did not know how powerful an Invincible Vajra was, but he was well aware of the power of the senior officials of the Inner Palace. That was a group of people that held the most power in the world.
For an Invincible Vajra Level master to be compared to them, it was apparent to him how fearsome of an existence they were.
“Even if that’s the case, he’s only the head of a family. Is that enough to make the Agency of Special Affairs run security for them?” Chen Sheng asked, still not fully satisfied.
“Of course it’s not as simple as just maintaining security,” Zhang Teng answered, shaking his head. “You should know that the kind of people attending today’s event are all famous in the world of Cultivators in Huaxia. If this bunch of people start causing trouble, the consequences will be dire. We’re not here to protect the Luo family but to protect the general populace. If a conflict really breaks out, we need to ensure that there is no collateral damage!”
“A conflict? What kind of conflict will there be?” Chen Sheng perked up excitedly. He could not imagine the kind of conflict that would happen at a celebratory event like this.
“Hehe, you think that we at the Agency of Special Affairs would just happen to be here for security today? Just wait and see. You’ll probably witness something big today that you would normally never get to see!” Zhang Teng said with a chuckle.
Suddenly, in the Luo family ancestral home, while the party was reaching its climax, a figure made its way up the front main road towards them with large strides.
At this moment, above the Luo family home, a light purple enchantment appeared in midair.
This appearance quickly drew the notice of all the people in the Luo family home.
Regardless of whether they were members of the Luo family or guests, a majority of them did not know that there was an ulterior motive to hosting today’s celebrations.
In an instant, the commotion and sounds of partying had vanished without a trace.
Very quickly, the crowd moved to leave the Luo family ancestral home, and at that moment, they saw a man dressed in traditional Chinese swordsman robes strolling through the main gate of the Luo family ancestral home. He looked as though he was a prince who had walked straight out of a painting.
This was Lu Xuan’s most commonly worn attire in his past life.
“Lu Xuan, you actually dared to show your face here!”
The Luo family Great Ancestor, Luo Zihong, fixed his stare on Lu Xuan. His eyes blazed with a ferocious gleam, as though he was going to tear Lu Xuan to pieces.
“Why wouldn’t I dare to appear? Your Luo family has made this event such a big deal to force me to come out. If I didn’t come, wouldn’t that be the same as not showing you face?” Lu Xuan said with a light smile.
“Who is that? He has so much panache!”
Some of the people did not recognize Lu Xuan and did not understand how he could be so bold.
He actually dared to invade their home and come here to kill them.
This is a clear slap in the face to the Luo family, and it would be strange if they let this slight go.
However, Lu Xuan’s words seemed to imply that this was planned by the Luo family. If this were true, things would become interesting.
“You all may not recognize this man, but I do. He’s none other than the number one Cultivator in Min Province, Lu Xuan!”
One of the people identified Lu Xuan and quickly shared it with the others.
“Isn’t the number one Cultivator in Min Province the Agency of Special Affairs Chief Ming Yueyao? I’ve heard that Ming Yueyao is an Invincible Vajra Level master, so what qualities does this Lu Xuan have that puts him above Ming Yueyao?” someone else asked in confusion.
“He was the previous number one in Min Province, but he’s recently kept a low profile, so nobody knows how much his strength has actually grown. Even so, this man was able to single-handedly wipe out the Soul-snatcher Sect and the Qiu family, and his reputation is great!” someone else immediately explained.
Many of the people remembered right away that something like this seemed to have happened several months ago. It was only because Lu Xuan had kept out of the public eye, that most of them forgot that such a thing had occurred.
However, it all came back to them at once now. Recalling how Lu Xuan had actually done such a domineering act, they could not help but feel curious about him.
If he had done something like that before, Lu Xuan’s strength must be extraordinary.
“That’s enough talking. Since you’ve dared to come here today, Lu Xuan, today will be the day that you die!” Luo Zihong sneered coldly. Then, he immediately took off his cumbersome formal attire, revealing a set of martial arts attire underneath.
When most of the people saw this, they understood with certainty that Luo Zihong had most likely been prepared for this.
“That’s perfect. I’m done talking to you too. Today, the Luo family can hold a celebration and a funeral at the same time! It’ll spare you the effort and expenses of holding two events!” Lu Xuan replied with an icy sneer.
“You’re talking big!”
All of a sudden, a figure leapt out. The crowd of onlookers saw that it was the current Luo family Clan Leader, Luo Ding.
Luo Ding was dressed in a similar kind of attire for fighting, and he pounced forward as quickly as a bolt of lightning.
The spear in his hands swept out like a long dragon.
Clang!
Luo Ding’s spear struck Lu Xuan, but he was then repelled backward at an even greater speed.
It was as though his spear had struck onto an iron plate. Nay, something more fearsome than an iron plate.
With Luo Ding’s Divine level cultivation, he could easily pierce through an iron plate with a single strike from his spear, so a flesh and blood human body should be no issue.
However, this flesh and blood body had just sent him flying backward from the impact.
Then, without even waiting for his body to touch the ground, a figure caught up to him at an even more terrifying speed.
Shortly after, Luo Ding was struck by a palm, and with a scream of agony, his body crashed into the ground, and he perished instantly.
