Chapter 471: Chapter 147: Destroy the Sun Family! Into Seclusion!

Under the watchful gaze of the crowd.

Luo Cheng returned to the Luo Family, landing directly in the family’s grand plaza.

The commotion drew the attention of the entire Luo Family, who all came out to greet him.

"Cheng’er!"

Luo Mingshan and Luo Hong were at the forefront of the group, quickly stepping forward to meet him.

"Grandfather, Father!"

Luo Cheng bowed respectfully to the two, looking at his grandfather Luo Mingshan, and furrowed his brows.

"Grandfather, you’ve lost weight."

In just a few months, Luo Mingshan looked noticeably more aged, having grown much thinner.

Luo Mingshan helped Luo Cheng up, clasping his hand, his old eyes reddening:

"Grandfather is fine. You’ve finally come back!!"

Back then, when Luo Mingshan learned that Luo Cheng was being hunted by a Middle Stage Awakening Vein Realm expert, he was consumed with worry, personally traveling to Xuanyuan Sect to inquire about Luo Cheng’s whereabouts.

Every inquiry, however, ended in disappointment.

As time went by, many members of the Luo Family began to believe that Luo Cheng had met a tragic fate.

During this period, no one even dared to mention Luo Cheng’s name.

Until recently, news of Luo Cheng appearing in the Imperial City reached Qishan City, finally dispelling the cloud of gloom that had hung over the Luo Family for two long months.

"It’s good to have you back!"

Luo Hong didn’t say much, but his eyes glistened with emotion.

At that moment, a three-year-old, adorable little girl cast her wide, curious eyes at Luo Cheng:

"I just saw Brother Luo Cheng flying back. But he doesn’t have wings. How can he fly like a bird in the sky?"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, looking at Luo Cheng with amazement.

Luo Mingshan himself reacted, his eyes lighting up with excitement:

"Cheng’er, I heard you claimed first place in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, and you’ve become an Awakening Vein Realm expert. Is all of this true?"

"Yes."

Luo Cheng’s lips curled into a smile, and he immediately focused his energy, launching a fist toward the sky.

Boom!

A bountiful surge of fist energy shot into the heavens, scattering a vast swath of cloud cover and allowing radiant sunlight to bathe the earth.

Witnessing such an extraordinary spectacle, everyone was struck dumb with astonishment.

Particularly the younger members of the Luo Family, who looked at Luo Cheng with eyes burning with admiration, their gazes shifting from level to reverent.

"Essence Energy manifests, truly the Awakening Vein Realm!"

Luo Mingshan froze in disbelief, his mind momentarily unable to process this revelation.

The last time Luo Cheng had returned home, he was still merely at the Tongxuan Realm.

He never dared dream that in such a short time, Luo Cheng could ascend to the Awakening Vein Realm!

"First place in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition! Awakening Vein Realm expert! This is a great blessing for the Luo Family!"

An elderly uncle of the Luo Family was moved to tears, overwhelmed with emotion.

The rest of the Luo Family erupted in cheers and joy.

The Three Sects Martial Arts Competition was the pinnacle event for the outer disciples of the three sects!

Every participant was a prodigy with extraordinary talent!

The mere thought of carving a bloody path amid such excellence was daunting, let alone achieving ultimate triumph!

As for becoming an Awakening Vein Realm expert—

No one in Qishan City had reached the Awakening Vein Realm for many years.

No one expected that the one to attain such heights would be Luo Cheng, who hadn’t even awakened a Martial Soul.

This achievement was more than personal—it symbolized a transformation for the Luo Family.

A family with an Awakening Vein Realm expert was fundamentally different from one without.

With Luo Cheng’s breakthrough, the Luo Family’s standing would undoubtedly elevate, becoming the undisputed rulers of Qishan City.

As long as Luo Cheng stood tall, the Luo Family would flourish!

Who would dare to disrespect an Awakening Vein Realm expert?

"Haha! Excellent! Truly excellent! Cheng’er, you haven’t let me down. I am proud of you, and the Luo Family is proud of you!"

Luo Mingshan laughed heartily, his face alight with joy, wrinkles smoothing out as his spirits lifted.

Luo Hong also revealed an uncharacteristic smile.

What brought him joy wasn’t simply Luo Cheng’s achievements.

But the fact that Luo Cheng hadn’t been defeated by setbacks and humiliation.

Instead, he had grown stronger, advancing bravely!

This quality was more important than anything else.

"Hurry and prepare a banquet—we’ll celebrate properly tonight!"

Beaming with energy, Luo Mingshan gave the order and led Luo Cheng inside: "Cheng’er, tell Grandpa about everything that’s happened during your time away!"

"Alright!"

In the discussion hall.

Luo Cheng recounted the events of the past few months in a concise manner, sparing no detail, though he embellished certain aspects.

For instance, regarding the incident of killing Blood Eagle, he claimed he was saved by a Lingyun Pavilion expert.

Even so, his tale left Luo Mingshan and the others deeply shaken, sighing with emotion.

"Grandfather, look at this."

During the conversation, Luo Cheng took out the Five-star Top Grade cultivation technique, Xuanqing Technique.

"Hiss! Five-star Top Grade cultivation technique!"

The moment he picked up the manual, Luo Mingshan froze entirely.

Cultivation techniques were the foundation for martial artists, their importance beyond question.

Unfortunately, high-quality techniques were monopolized by major forces and sects, with very few ever circulating outside.

The Luo Family, despite years of effort, possessed only one Three-star technique, Green Mist Technique.

A single Intermediate cultivation technique was enough to elevate the Luo Family’s overall strength to an entirely new level—perhaps even allowing them to compete as a mid-tier family!

"Cheng’er, is this yours?" Luo Mingshan couldn’t help but ask.

Luo Cheng nodded: "While I was out, I had a few fortuitous encounters and slew some formidable adversaries. This cultivation technique was among their treasures."

"Grandfather, I see that you’ve already started condensing the Divine Bridge. Green Mist Technique’s quality is too low. This Xuanqing Technique is perfect for your cultivation—it’ll help you break through the Awakening Vein Realm quickly! In the future, I’ll try to acquire Advanced techniques if possible."

"There’s also this..."

With a wave of his hand, Luo Cheng brought out more than ten Storage Spirit Rings:

"These contain some elixirs, martial arts secret manuals, star-level treasures, and defensive treasures that can be used to develop the family."

Luo Mingshan casually examined two of the Storage Spirit Rings and immediately drew a sharp breath.

The elixirs within were of high quality, along with other assets worth tens of millions!

With such prosperity spread across fourteen rings!

Luo Cheng set aside only a little over ten thousand Essence Energy Pills for himself, handing the rest to Luo Mingshan.

Having uncovered Sun Yingyang’s malicious plans, Luo Cheng hoped the Luo Family could rapidly strengthen, ideally producing several more Awakening Vein Realm experts.

This way, he could venture out to train with greater peace of mind.

"Excellent! These assets will form the foundation of our Luo Family’s growing dominance!"

Radiating resplendence, Luo Mingshan clung to the Xuanqing Technique, unwilling to part with it.

He had been trapped at the Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak for over a decade, held back by low-quality techniques and insufficient resources.

With the Xuanqing Technique, ample elixirs, and years of accumulation, Luo Mingshan was confident he could break through the Awakening Vein Realm within a year!

As night descended.

The evening banquet was lavish.

Having been away for so long, Luo Cheng couldn’t resist indulging in the feast.

Only deep into the night did everyone depart.

In the small courtyard where Luo Cheng resided.

Only Luo Cheng and his father, Luo Hong, remained.

"Cheng’er, I heard that during the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, you killed Sun Yingyang’s son, Sun Chuanwu?" Luo Hong asked.

Luo Cheng nodded: "He deserved it!"

"I’m not blaming you for killing him. I just worry that Sun Yingyang—a petty, vindictive man and an Awakening Vein Realm Sixth Layer Peak expert, as well as an Elder of the Fierce Cloud Sect—might try to harm you."

Luo Hong wasn’t reproaching Luo Cheng for slaying Sun Chuanwu.

He simply felt the timing wasn’t ideal.

"Don’t worry, father. I know what I’m doing. Sun Yingyang colluded with the Ji Family, bringing harm to you. One day, I will deal with him! I will avenge you!"

"Haha, the fact that you have this resolve is enough."

Luo Hong let out a satisfied smile, though his eyes dimmed afterward, a hint of self-reproach lingering: "Alas, I can’t offer you much help..."

"Father..."

Luo Cheng wanted to tell Luo Hong about Sun Yingyang’s attempts to send assassins after him and even wipe out the entire Luo Family.

But the words stuck in his throat.

If Sun Yingyang advanced to the Seventh Layer of Awakening Vein Realm, Luo Cheng wasn’t entirely confident he could defeat him.

Revealing the matter now would only make his father worry more.

With a shift in tone, Luo Cheng said: "Father, I plan to leave Qishan City tomorrow and go into seclusion to train for a while."

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes."

Luo Cheng wanted to devote himself fully to advancing in his cultivation, aiming to get to Wuyan City as soon as possible.

"Alright. Focus on training—the family affairs will be handled here, don’t worry." Luo Hong nodded.

After a restful night.

Early the next morning, Luo Cheng bid his grandfather Luo Mingshan farewell, then set off alone, flying swiftly toward the Black Cloud Mountain Range.
