Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Trading for a Way Out

Some rejoiced, while others were seized with fear.

The rejoiced ones were those several families whom Qin Chuan had not named, while the fearful ones belonged to the Lu Family.

Qin Chuan had successively named the Murong Family, Ye Family, Long Family, and Liu Family. Now, he had named the Lu Family as the last one, which meant that Qin Chuan would not call out the remaining influential families.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

...

As Qin Chuan’s gaze landed on them, all members of the Lu Family knelt, including the family ancestor Lu Fengxian.

"Mr. Qin, please quell your anger. From this day forth, the Lu Family will follow your lead. We plead with you to give the Lu Family another chance, for Yan Wu’s sake, and we will never let you down again!"

Lu Yaosheng begged, his face filled with fear.

"Mr. Qin, please consider Yan Wu’s face and give us, the Lu Family, a chance!"

"Mr. Qin, please consider Yan Wu’s face and give us, the Lu Family, a chance!"

...

For a moment, all members of the Lu Family began to plead.

Each one of them knelt on the ground, shivering all over, as Qin Chuan’s might was deeply engraved in their minds.

Though they had not witnessed Qin Chuan take on the Guardian of the Eight by himself, the reaction of the strong among the Five Law Enforcement Halls under the Eight Guardians, as well as the respectful demeanor of Qin Bancheng, the Great Elder of the Qin Royal Family from the Ancient Martial World, left them no doubt about Qin Chuan’s strength.

With such astonishing Cultivation, and at so young an age, such a character would be considered a Martial Fiend even in the Ancient Martial World.

The top families in the Secular World were a joke in front of Qin Chuan.

At this moment, the only thing left in Lu Yaosheng’s heart was deep regret. Had he known how formidable Qin Chuan was, he would never have dared to agree to confront Qin Chuan on behalf of the Guardian of the Eight.

But it was not too late, Lu Yaosheng thought secretly. As long as Lu Yanwu was willing to help the Lu Family, its glory would remain unscathed, and could even rise to greater heights.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan turned to look in the direction of Lu Fengxian and asked coldly, "Why do you not wish for me to plead for the Lu Family?"

He saw at a glance that while the members of the Lu Family were pleading, Lu Fengxian alone remained silent, his eyes filled only with profound sorrow.

Lu Fengxian looked at Qin Chuan with a bitter face and said, "What kind of man is Mr. Qin, to be swayed by the humble pleas of ants?"

"Besides, Mr. Qin has not failed to give the Lu Family chances before. In fact, the Lu Family was originally one of the Nine Gates of Yandu that could have had the closest relationship with Mr. Qin, but sadly, it was ruined by some fools."

"If Mr. Qin really wishes to spare the Lu Family for Yan Wu’s sake, he would surely not harm the Lu Family. But if Mr. Qin is unwilling, the Lu Family could be obliterated with a mere flick of his hand."

His face showed profound sadness, as if he had already anticipated the extermination of the Lu Family.

Qin Chuan suddenly asked, "If I were to exterminate the Lu Family, what would you do?"

As he raised this question, a terrifying aura of murderous intent enveloped Lu Fengxian.

Lu Fengxian felt a mountain of pressure upon him, yet he still clenched his teeth and persevered, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at Qin Chuan, saying, "Defend the Lu Family to the death!"

All the Yandu elite were stunned. Could Lu Fengxian not see the reality? Defend the Lu Family to the death? With what? Protect with what?

This simple question was clear to these elites. Could it be that Lu Fengxian, a Lu Family ancestor with Mid-stage King Realm Cultivation, could not understand?

"Lu Fengxian, shut your mouth!"

Lu Yaosheng’s face changed dramatically, as he roared in anger, "You old fool, if you wish to die, don’t drag the Lu Family down with you. Mr. Qin has a compassionate heart; how could he possibly exterminate the Lu Family?"

"Besides, even if Mr. Qin wants to exterminate the Lu Family, then let Mr. Lu do it. Whoever dares to resist, I, Lu Yaosheng, will be the first to disagree!"

After speaking, Lu Yaosheng hurriedly looked back at Qin Chuan, his face filled with terror, saying, "Mr. Qin, although Lu Fengxian is an elder of my family, his brain has gone mad from his Cultivation. Don’t listen to his nonsense; he harbors resentment towards the Lu Family and deliberately provokes you to destroy us."

"Mr. Qin, as the Lu Family Master, I hereby declare Lu Fengxian is banished from the Lu Family. From this moment forth, Lu Fengxian is no longer a part of us."

Lu Fengxian’s face was full of shock, never having imagined that one day, the family he had devoted a hundred years to would cast him out.

Lu Fengxian glared furiously at Lu Yaosheng, almost growling word by word, "Lu Yaosheng, you’re banishing me from the family?"

Lu Yaosheng shivered all over; after all, Lu Fengxian was a Mid-stage King Realm Cultivator. If he were to attack in a frenzy, Lu Yaosheng would not be able to withstand it.

He knew that only Qin Chuan could suppress Lu Fengxian at this moment.

Thinking this, Lu Yaosheng’s eyes flickered, and with a sneer, he said, "That’s right, I’m banishing you from the Lu Family!"

"Lu Fengxian, do you really think it’s still your era? The Lu Family of today answers to me; even if you were the Great Elder of the previous generation, what can you do to me?"

"I, Lu Fengxian, am willing to serve Mr. Qin like a dog or horse; not to mention banishing you from the family, if Mr. Qin orders me to kill you, I will stake my worthless life to send you on your way."

Lu Fengxian, overwhelmed with rage, let out a sarcastic laugh, his fists clenched tightly, holding back a surge of fury that wished to burst forth but was unable to under Qin Chuan’s watchful eye.

"Very well!"

At that moment, Qin Chuan suddenly spoke up, giving a cold look to Lu Yaosheng, saying, "Since you are willing to stake your worthless life to kill Lu Fengxian for me, then I’ll grant you this opportunity. If you kill Lu Fengxian, then I will spare the Lu Family."

"I..."

Lu Yaosheng was stunned, unable to follow the unexpected twist. How could he possibly kill Lu Fengxian?

Lu Fengxian looked coldly at Lu Yaosheng, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery.

Lu Yaosheng’s eyes darted about, and through gritted teeth, he said, "Mr. Qin, I will now summon all of the Lu Family to join forces and execute Lu Fengxian!"

Qin Chuan replied coldly, "I remember, what you just said was that you’d risk your own life to kill Lu Fengxian for me."

"I, I..."

Lu Yaosheng was dripping with anxious sweat, unsure of what to say next.

Qin Chuan asked, "Is this the Lu Family you have protected your whole life? Do you not regret it?"

Lu Fengxian spoke with bitterness, "What good would regret do? The Lu Family brought me into this world and raised me; without it, there wouldn’t be a ’me’ today. I never regret protecting the Lu Family, only that I did not emerge from seclusion earlier to cleanse the corrupt from within."

Hearing his words, Qin Chuan was somewhat moved and suddenly took out a White Porcelain Bottle, tossing it straight to Lu Fengxian.

Lu Fengxian paused for a moment, then understanding, his face filled with sorrow, he poured an Elixir from the bottle and swallowed it without hesitation.

Then, he looked at Qin Chuan and said, "I hope, with my life, to exchange for a path of survival for the Lu Family."
