Chapter 765: Chapter 765: Lu Family’s Ancestor, Great Realization

In the end, it was Lu Wuyi who stepped forward and lifted the Lu Family Patriarch.

Under the pressure of the realm’s influence, Lu Changkong continued to be suppressed, unable to move.

After being treated by Lu Chen, Lu Wuyi hadn’t fully recovered, but at least lifting an elder was no problem for him.

The inability of the other Lu Family members to lift the Patriarch was entirely due to some tricks by Lu Chen.

Lu Wuyi carried the Patriarch on his back and took the lead towards the ancestral hill.

Following behind were Zhao Chang and Chu Zhongtian.

The rest of the Lu Family followed behind at the very end.

Besides the steady footsteps, there was no other noise.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

It was most suitable for these Lu Family members to contemplate their next course of action.

Obviously, they were unable to leave the Lu Family at this moment.

But to stay...

"If Lu Chen wants to settle accounts, I’m afraid he won’t spare us," one of them said.

All of them came to this realization in the end.

Indeed, a cultivator like him could easily suppress their ancestor with a simple gesture, and dealing with martial artists like them would perhaps require only a thought to cause their instant death on the spot.

And since Lu Chen had not acted, it indicated they still had hope for survival!

They gradually understood Lu Chen’s intention.

He didn’t want to destroy the Lu Family but wanted them, the very people in front of him, to uphold the Lu Family!

With Lu Wuyi at the helm!

...

In the ancestral hall on the back hill,

Lu Wuyi put down the Patriarch in front of the densely packed spirit tablets of the Lu Family’s ancestors.

The Patriarch, who knew he was destined to die, seemed to have become much more accepting.

While being carried here by Lu Wuyi, with nothing to do, he naturally reflected on his life’s past.

Lu Chen was right.

As a martial artist who followed the way of martial arts, and even reached the Qi Refinement Realm, he was undeniably one of the outstanding individuals in the Lu Family.

But as a member of the Lu Family, he had erred, incredibly so.

According to the ancestral teachings...

Indeed, he deserved to die.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

The Patriarch kowtowed heavily three times to the spirit tablets.

Blood traces appeared on his forehead.

Seeing this, Lu Chen’s expression softened somewhat; it was clear that the Patriarch had acknowledged his wrongs.

However, a mistake was a mistake.

He couldn’t forgive the grave wrongs committed in the past simply because of a momentary change.

Moreover, he needed to establish authority for Lu Wuyi!

"Lu Chen, take my life," the Patriarch said.

Lu Chen nodded.

The next moment, the Patriarch collapsed on the ground, no longer breathing.

The younger members of the Lu Family stared blankly, finally convinced that Lu Chen’s strength was far beyond theirs.

Almost simultaneously, they all knelt down, prostrated themselves, and said in unison, "We’ve seen the head of the family!"

Lu Chen nodded slightly, looked at Lu Wuyi, and said indifferently, "The head of the family should speak now."

Lu Wuyi’s lips trembled, and it took a long time for his emotions to settle.

"Dispense with formalities, stand up! From now on, the Lu Family will not practice kneeling in homage!"

The members of the Lu Family didn’t comply but instead looked towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen chuckled and responded, "I’ve severed my worldly ties and am no longer considered a member of the Lu Family. However..."

He paused, looking outside the ancestral hall, "I still carry the blood of the Lu Family in my veins."

The implication was that he would not partake in the Lu Family’s decisions.

"Lu Immortal Master," Lu Wuyi said with a slight bow, "What should be done with the Patriarch?"

"He had a great epiphany at the end and had broken through the martial path to become a cultivator; he is rather unparalleled within the Lu Family. Give him a grand burial!"

"Yes, Immortal Master Lu!"

Lu Wuyi straightened up, his gaze much fiercer.

"The Patriarch had achieved enlightenment and passed away at over a hundred years of age, it’s a fortunate death! Announce to Yuzhou City, three days from now, behind the Lu Family hill, we will hold the funeral!"

Lu Chen nodded with a smile, approving of Lu Wuyi’s decision, which struck a balance between asserting the Lu Family’s dignity and remaining humble.

It seemed that indeed, Lu Wuyi possessed the necessary talent for this.

"Physician Zhao, Brother Chu Dao, we are not members of the Lu Family, and it is inappropriate for us to stay here too long."

"Yes, Immortal Master Lu."

"Yes, Brother Lu Dao."

Both understood his intent and followed Lu Chen out of the ancestral hall.

Standing on a cliff plateau behind the mountain in the ancestral hall, Lu Chen faced the wind, with hands clasped behind his back and away from the two men.

"Immortal Master Lu, please command as you wish," said Zhao Chang, knowing that Lu Chen called him out for a reason. With no outsiders present, he got straight to the point and asked directly.

"Earlier, I asked you if you’d like to accompany me to Tianyuan, how have you considered it now?"

Zhao Chang smiled wryly, "Immortal Master Lu, we mortals, when we suffer a wound, even Spirit Pills can heal it and stop the pain, but a scar remains."

Lu Chen had anticipated this and nodded; with a wave of his hand, a porcelain bottle materialized out of thin air.

"This is a Spirit Pill that even mortals can use. Keep it with you. From now on, you will remain with the Lu Family to assist Lu Wuyi."

After that, he glanced at Chu Zhongtian and then stepped into the void and left!
