Chapter 550: Chapter 550: One Opportunity

Lu Fengxian’s proposal to have Lu Yanwu succeed as the Lu Family Master directly shocked everyone, including the direct descendants of the Lu Family.

For centuries, whether it was the Lu Family or other families within the Nine Gates of Yandu, only those over fifty from the direct line had ever succeeded as Family Head. There had never been someone as young as Lu Yanwu in her early twenties.

Lu Fengxian, as the former Great Elder of the Lu Family, had actually suggested that Lu Yanwu should succeed as the Lu Family Master. It was utterly inconceivable.

"Senior, absolutely not!"

After a brief shock, a Lu Family elder immediately knelt at Lu Fengxian’s feet, speaking with great emotion, "Lu Yanwu is barely over twenty. Apart from being too young, let’s not even mention her almost non-existent contributions to the family. It is highly inappropriate for her to succeed as Lu Family Master!"

"Senior, we can agree to the Family Master stepping down in favor of a wiser successor, but we absolutely cannot accept a junior member of the Lu Family taking on the position of Family Master. It would chill the hearts of the direct line who have made significant contributions to the family!"

"Yes, the position of Lu Family Master absolutely cannot fall into the hands of a young junior. Otherwise, the Lu Family will surely become a laughingstock amongst Yandu’s noble families!"

"Not knowing any better, people would think our Lu Family lacks capable direct descendants. Please reconsider, Senior!"

...

With someone taking the lead, the direct descendants of the Lu Family immediately knelt en masse, all of them unable to accept Lu Yanwu as the new Lu Family Master.

"Silence!"

Lu Fengxian’s expression suddenly turned icy, and he bellowed angrily. A pressure from the mid-stage of the King Realm enveloped all the direct descendants of the Lu Family who were kneeling on the ground.

It was then that the family members truly felt the terror of a mid-stage King Realm powerhouse. Just the Martial Path Pressure alone made them feel like they were facing a Heavenly God.

They had greatly underestimated Lu Fengxian’s favoritism towards Lu Yanwu.

"Yan Wu, don’t mind them. If you are willing to take up the position of Lu Family Master, anyone who dares to defy you can come find me in my cultivation retreat anytime. Whoever dares not to accept, I will kill!"

A deadly intention exuded from Lu Fengxian, and every member of the Lu Family felt it.

Even the guests watching from the sidelines could sense it. Almost all of them were facing a mid-stage King Realm powerhouse for the first time.

Although their own families had elders with mid-stage King Realm cultivation, these were old monsters whose lifespans were nearly exhausted and who had been in seclusion for decades. They never had the chance to meet them.

When Lu Fengxian looked towards Lu Yanwu again, his eyes were filled with tenderness and a hint of expectation, seemingly very eager for Lu Yanwu to agree to become the new Lu Family Master.

Lu Yanwu herself was stunned at the time. She originally only wanted to explain the whole situation to Lu Fengxian and was worried that he might harm Qin Chuan. She had never considered taking on the role of Family Head herself.

So when Lu Fengxian put forward the suggestion for her to become the Family Head, she didn’t react right away.

"Hmph!"

It was at this moment that Qin Chuan said coldly, "As expected of an old creature who has lived for a hundred years, dreaming such a beautiful dream."

"To want Yan Wu to become the Family Head is not impossible, but she will not become the Lu Family Master until the massacre of the Qin Family is thoroughly investigated. If the Lu Family has nothing to do with the tragedy of the Qin Family, and if Yan Wu is willing, I will help her ascend to the position of Family Head."

With these words, Lu Fengxian’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Qin Chuan’s unexpected move not only disrupted Lu Fengxian’s pace but also exposed some information.

"Twenty years ago, the Qin Family, which was once part of the Nine Gates of Yandu, was annihilated by what power or what powerhouse?"

Qin Chuan’s voice was ice-cold to the extreme, and an astonishing pressure enveloped the entire scene.

"Bang bang bang!"

All the guests present, including everyone from the Lu Family, like Lu Fengxian, heavily kneeled under this pressure.

Only Murong Mingyue and Lu Yanwu beside Qin Chuan, as well as Ling Yun and Hong Yu, and people like Murong Jing did not kneel.

Earlier, Murong Jing had been forced to kneel under Lu Yaosheng’s pressure, shattering both of his knees. Given only a Healing Holy Medicine by Qin Chuan, he could only sit on the ground.

Viewing the scene of everyone kneeling down, his expression suddenly stiffened, his face filled with disbelief.

"How, how is this possible?"

A storm of shock surged within Murong Jing’s heart. These people were from the most prestigious direct line of the Nine Gates of Yandu and the top powerhouses of their respective families.

However, without exception, they all kneeled.

Even the Lu Family’s ancestor, Lu Fengxian, had dropped to his knees without any warning.

"Who, who is he exactly?"

When Murong Jing looked at Qin Chuan again, his eyes held only fear and dread.

Just with Martial Path Pressure, to suppress so many top powerhouses of the Nine Gates, how terrifying had Qin Chuan’s cultivation reached?

Thinking back to the conflicts he had once had with Qin Chuan, he suddenly felt extremely fortunate, grateful that after provoking Qin Chuan he was still alive.

Old men Hong Yu and Ling Yun were also completely petrified, their pupils full of terror. After their Martial Path had broken through to the King Realm, they felt they had inexhaustible strength. However, at that moment, facing Qin Chuan, just the residual force made them feel as if their own cultivation was a mere droplet of water, while Qin Chuan’s was an ocean.

It was also at this moment they suddenly realized they had actually received elixirs from a powerhouse of this caliber.

Lu Yanwu stared blankly at the scene of all those elites kneeling, murmuring to herself, "Ancestors of the Lu Family, Lu Family Master, Ye Family Patriarch, Qi Family Patriarch, Jiang Family Master..."

All the present masters of the great families were now kneeling.

When Lu Fengxian was suppressed and forced to kneel by the pressure released by Qin Chuan, he tried to resist the pressure to get back up, but found he simply couldn’t.

The pressure released by Qin Chuan was just too strong. Lu Fengxian felt as if he was trapped in a steel cage perfectly tailored to his size; it wasn’t just standing up, he was unable to move at all.

"Mr. Qin, please calm your anger!"

Unable to move, Lu Fengxian could only emit a cry of terrified pleading.

Qin Chuan shouted angrily, "Speak, who exactly was behind the Qin Family’s annihilation twenty years ago?"

He knew clearly that as the previous elder of the Lu Family, even though Lu Fengxian had been in seclusion over twenty years ago, Qin Chuan was certain that he couldn’t be ignorant of something as grave as the tragedy of the Qin Family’s destruction.

As his words fell, his hand suddenly reached forward, like an invisible giant hand seizing Lu Fengxian’s neck. Amid everyone’s frightened gazes, Lu Fengxian’s body abruptly floated into the air.

"I, I don’t know..."

Before Lu Fengxian could finish speaking, Qin Chuan’s arm suddenly shook, and Lu Fengxian’s body was flung away by that invisible hand, smashing heavily against the steel-reinforced concrete walls of the banquet hall. Concrete from the wall shattered, revealing the steel rebar underneath.

Qin Chuan’s icy gaze stared coldly at Lu Fengxian and said, "I’ll give you one more chance. If the words you speak are still not what I want to hear, then I will send you on your way right now!"
