164: Chapter 162 Profound Sect’s Great Elder_1 164: Chapter 162 Profound Sect’s Great Elder_1 Lu Chuan’s eyes sharpened as he said, “Why did you kill my mother!”

Long Tianya’s face was a mix of conflict and reluctance, clearly not wanting to disclose the matter, but in this moment, with no other choices left and trapped within Lu Chuan’s terrifying formation, his son clutched in the opponent’s hands, he could not remain tight-lipped any longer.

He took a deep breath and asked, “Do you know who my son’s master is?”

Lu Chuan frowned, vaguely guessing that his mother’s death was probably related to Long Hao’s master, and hurriedly asked, “Who?”

A trace of pride appeared on Long Tianya’s face as he said, “The number one martial arts sect, the Profound Sect’s Great Elder!”

Lu Chuan was startled, having not expected Long Hao’s master to be this person.

He was not unfamiliar with the Great Elder of the Profound Sect; it was this elder who had sent people to kill Su Ming.

Moreover, the fact that this elder had people abduct innocent girls to cultivate through dual cultivation was something Lu Chuan found despicable.

At the time, it made him think the Profound Sect was not at all proper, but after Su Ming’s explanation, he learned that only the Great Elder acted this way, and the Profound Sect still held a very lofty position in the martial arts world.

“What does this Great Elder have to do with my mother’s death?

Could it be that he ordered you to kill my mother?” Lu Chuan stared at Long Tianya and asked.

Long Tianya nodded, “Indeed, I was acting under the Great Elder’s command when I killed your mother.

The reward was for my son to become one of his direct disciples.”

Lu Chuan’s expression turned a few shades colder as he asked, “Why did he want to kill my mother?”

Long Tianya said, “I was merely following orders at the time; how could I possibly know why the Great Elder wanted to kill your mother?

Although I was thriving in Cloud City, compared to the Great Elder, I was nothing but an ant.

Do you think he would tell me the reason for killing your mother?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan’s grip on Long Hao’s neck tightened involuntarily.

Long Hao immediately struggled and screamed in agony.

Long Tianya looked on with heartache and hurriedly said, “I swear I’m telling the truth.

The Great Elder indeed only gave me this command, insisting that I must kill your mother.

He didn’t say anything else.

However, however…”

Lu Chuan shouted loudly, “However, what!”

Without daring to hesitate further, Long Tianya quickly said, “However, later Long Hao asked the Great Elder for me once, and the Great Elder only mentioned it was to ‘clean house.’ He said nothing else.

Please stop choking my son; he’s about to die!”

‘Clean house?’ Lu Chuan’s brow furrowed deeply, and his hand around Long Hao’s neck loosened slightly.

Could it be that the Great Elder was part of the Capital City’s Luo family?

He glared at Long Tianya and demanded, “What else do you know?

Tell me everything truthfully, or I will kill your son right now!”

After pondering deeply, Long Tianya said, “I vaguely remember the Great Elder mentioned his surname was Lu.”

Lu Chuan was momentarily taken aback, at a loss for how to react.

Just now, Long Tianya mentioned the Great Elder ordered the killing of his mother to ‘clean house,’ leading Lu Chuan to think the Great Elder was part of the Capital City’s Luo family, but now Long Tianya said the Great Elder’s surname was Lu.

Could it be that the Great Elder wanted to clean the Lu family’s own house?

However, to Lu Chuan’s knowledge, aside from his grandfather, his father, and their lineage, there were no other living members of the Lu family.

Of course, there was his aunt Lu Yundie, whom he had only recently recognized.

If one considered Lu Yundie’s situation, then the number of Lu family members truly depended on how many romantic entanglements his grandfather had stirred up in the past.

Furthermore, apart from his grandfather, it was likely that his father had not refrained from philandering in his younger days, given that maintaining lifelong fidelity was nearly impossible for someone with dragon’s yang power, even if they desired to be true to one person in their heart, their body would not consent.

Otherwise, his grandfather wouldn’t have arranged nine marital engagements for him all at once.

‘Could this Great Elder also be one of grandfather’s descendants?’ Lu Chuan thought absurdly.

But he quickly dismissed this notion.

As the number one martial arts sect, the Profound Sect had existed for countless years.

Lu Chuan remembered Su Ming saying that the Great Elder had been with the sect since its establishment, working his way up to his current position, and was probably not much younger than his own grandfather, so how could he be a descendant of his grandfather?

With this consideration, Lu Chuan found it even more perplexing to determine the Great Elder’s identity, and why he would want to ‘clean house.’

If the Great Elder truly had the surname Lu, then this so-called ‘clean house’ probably referred to purging the Lu family, unrelated to the Luo family of Capital City.

Had his mother done something wrong?

All these doubts surfaced in Lu Chuan’s mind, leaving him entirely clueless and increasingly agitated.

Now, it seemed the only way to uncover the entire truth was to ask the Great Elder of the Profound Sect himself.

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, calming his emotions, and stared at Long Tianya, asking, “Are you certain you have nothing else to tell me?”

Long Tianya nodded repeatedly, “I’ve indeed told you everything I know; please spare my son!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan promptly snapped one of Long Hao’s arms and asked again, “Are you sure there’s nothing else you have to tell me?”

Long Hao screamed in pain, his expression twisted in agony.

Long Tianya’s face was filled with despair as he yelled, “I’ve told you everything I know; what more do you want from me!”

Seeing Long Tianya’s demeanor didn’t seem like a lie, Lu Chuan knew he probably had heard all there was to know.

“Then I might as well believe you for now,” Lu Chuan said indifferently.

Finally, Long Tianya breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Then you should release my son now!”

Lu Chuan sneered, “Release him?

Why should I?”

Long Tianya’s eyes widened, “You said before, if I told you everything I know, you would spare my son!”

Lu Chuan curled his lip and said, “That was before, but unfortunately, you didn’t seize the opportunity.

You chose to attack me instead, and this time, I never promised to spare your son.”

A surge of rage flared in Long Tianya’s eyes, feeling played by Lu Chuan, he cursed, “You faithless scoundrel, I—”

Just as he was about to strike at Lu Chuan, a bolt of lightning struck him, preventing any chance of attacking Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan’s face turned to ice as he said, “I promised Mengyao that I wouldn’t let her fall into your son’s hands.

To keep him alive would make me a man who breaks his word.”

Having said that, he squeezed the neck he was holding Long Hao’s with even harder.

A crackling sound.

Long Hao’s head tilted, and the struggling body suddenly became motionless.

“No!!!!”

Long Tianya watched helplessly as his son was killed by Lu Chuan, unable to do anything but despair.

Lu Chuan threw Long Hao’s corpse aside.

Finally, after struggling against the thunderbolt, Long Tianya turned to Lu Chuan, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

At this moment, the duration of the Five Phases Divine Thunder Array Formation reached its limit.

Lu Chuan retracted the Array Plate, and the terrible formation that had left many Transcendent Realm skillful experts in agony finally disappeared from sight.

More than half of those Transcendent Realm experts were left severely injured by the lightning strikes, wailing on the ground.

The others who were lucky enough to dodge the lightning sat exhausted on the ground, panting heavily, grateful to be alive.

Seeing the formation disperse, Long Tianya thought Lu Chuan had reached his limit.

He couldn’t believe such a terrifying formation could be maintained without consuming energy and charged at Lu Chuan, full of killing intent.

“Now that the formation is gone, I want to see how you can show off in front of me.

Today, I will tear you to pieces to avenge my son!”

His aura surged, indicating that he must have used some method that damaged his body to boost his strength for a short period.

Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes and, not daring to be negligent, summoned all of his Beginner Foundation Building power to engage Long Tianya in combat.

After fighting for an extended period, Long Tianya found that he still couldn’t get the upper hand on Lu Chuan and became increasingly agitated.

“Why!

You obviously deployed such a terrifying formation, so how can you still have the energy to fight me to a standstill?”

Lu Chuan laughed and said, “Maintaining the formation indeed requires a lot of energy, but I never told you that it was my energy that kept it up.”

Long Tianya, grinding his teeth in fury, attacked Lu Chuan with all his might, “I don’t believe you can be that powerful.

Even if I die today, I will take you down with me!”

Lu Chuan’s heart chilled.

Long Tianya, having used a power-boosting method, was not so easy to deal with, especially since he was now fighting with a suicidal ferocity.

At that time, Lu Chuan was already exerting all his strength just to fight him to a draw.

Now that Long Tianya was fighting for his life, Lu Chuan certainly didn’t dare to relax his guard.

Fortunately, Long Tianya’s mind was in disorder, leaving many flaws in his attack.

Now equipped with Divine Sense to assist in combat, Lu Chuan could instantly detect the flaws and take advantage, so winning was not an impossible feat.

The two engaged in over a hundred exchanges, almost tearing down the entire courtyard in the process.

Then, Lu Chuan finally found an opportunity, seizing a major opening from Long Tianya, and struck with his palm.

Creation Palm!

“Damn it!” Long Tianya’s face dramatically changed as he immediately tried to dodge away.

However, by the time he reacted, it was already too late.

Lu Chuan’s palm had landed on his body.

A loud thud!

Long Tianya crashed against the same large tree that Long Hao had hit.

This time the tree, big enough to require three people to encircle it, snapped in the middle and thundered to the ground.

Long Tianya, too, fell to the earth and passed out.

The guests who attended the feast watched the scene in stunned disbelief.

They had never expected that a single person’s power could push Long Tianya, Long Hao, and over a dozen Transcendent Realm experts to such an extent.

They had truly witnessed what a genuine monster was.

On top of the wall, Su Ming was excited, “Big brother is so awesome!

I wonder when I’ll become like him.”

Mu Nanqing smiled and relaxed, saying, “Xiaochuan is one of a kind.

You have a long way to go before you can compare to him.”

Su Ming laughed heartily, “Yes, yes, sister-in-law is right!

After all, big brother’s sister-in-law is you; you’re the one who has trained him well!”

“Nonsense!” Mu Nanqing glared at him but was very pleased inside.

Elsewhere, Chu Mengyao saw Lu Chuan fend off everyone and sighed with relief, while thinking a little smugly to herself, “He truly is my man.”

The others remained in a state of shock, especially the Transcendent Realm experts.

They vowed never to casually attend someone else’s wedding banquet again—after all, it could be life-threatening!

Lu Chuan, sensing with his Divine Sense that Long Tianya had only passed out and not fully died, walked towards him.

He had to kill Long Tianya; otherwise, once he informed the Profound Sect’s Great Elder of his identity, that elder would definitely seek to eliminate him.

According to Su Ming, the Profound Sect’s Great Elder was unfathomably powerful and had broken through to a level above the Transcendent Realm many years ago.

Lu Chuan currently couldn’t stand against the Great Elder, so he had to get rid of Long Tianya to buy time for his growth.

He gathered a force in his hand, intending to blast Long Tianya and end his life on the spot.

However, at that moment, an invisible oppression enveloped the entire courtyard; everyone found themselves immobilized, including Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan’s face was struck with shock; he had never experienced such an inability to move.

Now he couldn’t even kill Long Tianya.

Where was this force coming from?

Then a shout rang out like thunder in everyone’s ears.

“The Great Elder of the Profound Sect has arrived!”
