Chapter 46 Three days is too long, I'm in a hurry to make dinner.
"This Soul-Suppressing Mirror is a supreme treasure of our Kunlun Outer Sect. It's specifically designed to counter the soul. No matter how high one's cultivation level, as long as there's even the slightest flaw in their soul, it will be extracted with a single glance!" The young man stood up, slowly walked to Ye Zhenting, and looked down at him with disdain in his eyes. "That kid has such cultivation at such a young age; it's definitely not normal. He must have been possessed by some old monster. In such a possessed body, the soul and the physical body cannot perfectly integrate, making it the nemesis of the Soul-Suppressing Mirror!"
He leaned down, pinched Ye Zhenting's chin with his fingertips, and forced him to look up. The coldness in his eyes almost froze Ye Zhenting: "I will personally oversee things in the capital. If he dares to come, I will show him what true immortal techniques are, and what the difference between heaven and earth is!"
Ye Zhenting felt a great sense of relief; the weight that had been hanging over him finally lifted, and his face instantly lit up with wild joy. He kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Your Excellency is wise! That brat boasted that he would come to the capital in three days to settle accounts with us. We'll lay a trap right here, waiting for him to walk right into it, so he'll die without a burial place!"
"Three days?" The young man's lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes filled with impatience. "I don't have that much time to play house with a mere ant from the mortal world. The Kunlun Secret Realm is about to open, and I still need to take the jade pendant back to report. I can't afford to delay."
He straightened up, his tone icy, carrying an unyielding command: "Issue my decree! Tell those useless bastards in the Bureau of Extraordinary Immortals to go to Jiangnan City and deliver a message: that brat surnamed Lu must come to the Ye family's gate in the capital before sunset tonight and kneel down to present the jade pendant!"
He paused, then his voice grew increasingly sinister, each word dripping with bloodthirsty killing intent: "If I had been a minute later, I would have slaughtered the entire city of Jiangnan! Mortals are no different from ants; no matter how many die, it's not a pity!"
Ye Zhenting gasped, his body turning icy cold, a chill running from his feet to the top of his head—a massacre! Is this the way Kunlun Mountain operates? Treating the lives of ordinary people as worthless, massacring an entire city without hesitation!
But he dared not refute, nor even utter a word of pleading. He could only kowtow repeatedly and scramble out of the secret room to hurry and deliver a message to the Bureau of Extraordinary Immortals. He knew that the Venerable Envoy of Kunlun Mountain meant what he said, and if Lu Yuan missed the deadline, the entire Jiangnan City would become a living hell.
Outside the gate of Yunding Mountain Villa in Jiangnan City.
Zhao Tiancheng squatted on the steps, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his brows furrowed and his expression anxious. He knew that Master Lu would eventually go to the capital to settle accounts with the Ye family, but he never expected that day to come so soon, nor did he expect that the people from Kunlun Mountain would be so arrogant.
Just then, a jeep with top-of-the-line military license plates came speeding towards them, screeching to a stop on the side of the road. Its tires left two long black marks on the asphalt, emitting pungent white smoke, and it almost crashed into the gate of the resort.
Chu Jianguo scrambled off the car, not even having time to close the door. He was covered in sweat, his face was ashen, and his lips were trembling, as if he had just been wheeled out of a morgue. He could barely stand.
"Mr. Lu! Is Mr. Lu inside?!" Chu Jianguo spotted Zhao Tiancheng crouching on the steps at a glance. He rushed over, grabbed Zhao's collar, and his voice cracked with despair and urgency. "Quick! Take me to Mr. Lu! Something terrible has happened! Something terribly serious!"
Zhao Tiancheng's eyes rolled back as he was being choked. He shoved him away and snapped, "What's the rush! Master Lu is inside watching TV with Miss Lu. What's wrong with you? You scared me half to death!"
Chu Jianguo didn't bother arguing with him at all. He shoved Zhao Tiancheng aside and rushed into the front door like a madman. He didn't even knock and just smashed open the living room door.
The atmosphere in the living room was warm and inviting. Lu Qingxue sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding potato chips and watching anime with great interest, occasionally letting out a crisp laugh. Lu Yuan leaned back on the sofa, holding an apple and slowly peeling it, the peel forming a long, thin line without a single cut, his movements fluid and elegant.
"Mr. Lu! Something terrible has happened! Something really terrible has happened!" Chu Jianguo rushed into the living room, his legs went weak, and he knelt down in front of the coffee table with a thud, his forehead hitting the ground heavily. His voice was choked with sobs, "The people from Kunlun Mountain have spoken, they want you... they want you to go to the Ye family's gate in the capital before sunset today, kneel down and hand over the jade pendant!"
He looked up, his face streaked with tears, his voice trembling so badly it was almost incoherent: "No... otherwise, they'll massacre the entire city of Jiangnan! Everyone in the city will die because of this! Mr. Lu, please think of something!"
The air in the living room froze instantly. The chattering of the anime characters sounded particularly jarring at that moment, completely out of place with the despair before them.
Although Lu Qingxue didn't understand anything about Kunlun Mountain or the massacre, she could clearly sense the despair and fear emanating from Chu Jianguo, and she could feel her brother's aura instantly turn cold. She instinctively shrank closer to Lu Yuan, tightly gripping his sleeve, and whispered, "Brother, what's wrong? Why is he crying?"
Lu Yuan didn't answer his sister. He simply picked up a tissue from the table and slowly wiped the juice off the fruit knife. His movements remained elegant, but the coldness in his eyes was so intense it seemed to overflow, freezing even the surrounding air.
Massacre of the city.
How familiar those words are. Back in the world of cultivation, there was a foolish sect that dared to threaten him with the lives of innocent people, saying they would slaughter the city he was protecting. Later, that sect, along with the entire continent they inhabited, was annihilated by him with a single slap, leaving not a trace.
Now, these clowns from Kunlun Mountain actually dare to talk about massacring the city in front of him? They even dare to threaten him, using the people of Jiangnan City and his sister to force him to submit?
They're absolutely courting death!
Lu Yuan looked up at the clock on the wall. The hour hand pointed to two o'clock in the afternoon. There were less than four hours left until sunset.
"Brother, are you going out?" Lu Qingxue tugged at his sleeve, her eyes full of worry.
Lu Yuan looked down at his younger sister's worried face, and the chill around him instantly dissipated. His tone was gentle yet firm: "Yes, go take care of some trash."
He stood up, gently placed the fruit knife on the coffee table, and said softly, "You can watch TV at home. If you get hungry, ask Zhao Tiancheng to order takeout for you, or have him cook something for you. I'll be back before dinner."
Lu Qingxue nodded obediently, her little hands tightly gripping his clothes, and whispered, "Then come back soon, I want to eat your sweet and sour pork ribs, I want them to be sweet and sour."
"Okay." Lu Yuan gently rubbed her hair, his eyes full of tenderness, but the moment he turned around, that tenderness vanished completely, replaced by a destructive and ferocious aura.
He turned and walked towards the door. Chu Jianguo, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly looked up, his mind buzzing, and cried out urgently, "Mr. Lu! You...you're going to Beijing already? But it's too late to get to the airport now! Jiangnan City is over a thousand kilometers from Beijing, and there are less than four hours left until sunset. Even if you take a fighter jet, it's unlikely you can make it! How about I arrange a military special plane for you right away and take off as fast as possible!"
Chu Jianguo was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh, cold sweat dripping down his forehead—he knew that if Lu Yuan didn't arrive in time, the entire Jiangnan City would be doomed, and he, as the director of the Jiangnan branch of the Bureau of Extraordinary Immortals, would also surely die.
Lu Yuan stepped outside, the blinding sunlight shining on him, but it did nothing to warm the coldness in his eyes. He didn't turn around, nor did he pay attention to Chu Jianguo's shouts. He simply raised his head slowly, looking towards the direction of the capital, a cold, mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Three days is too long."
His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Zhao Tiancheng and Chu Jianguo's ears, carrying an undeniable air of dominance: "I'm rushing back to make dinner for my sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tiancheng and Chu Jianguo heard a loud "boom" in their ears—not the boom of a bomb exploding, but a loud noise as if the air was being forcibly torn apart by some illogical speed, making their eardrums ache and their heads spin.
The newly paved asphalt road in front of Yunding Villa had been abruptly split in half, creating a chasm half a meter deep. This chasm stretched straight northwards, seemingly endless, as if the earth itself had been ripped apart. A violent gust of air swept in, uprooting century-old trees in the courtyard, and sending pebbles and weeds flying everywhere—a truly terrifying scene.
The two instinctively closed their eyes and covered their ears tightly. When they opened their eyes again, all that remained where Lu Yuan had just stood was a footprint deeply embedded in the ground. The soil around the footprint had been burned into glass-like crystals by the terrifying heat, gleaming with a cold luster.
The person has vanished without a trace.
Chu Jianguo collapsed to the ground, his legs weak. Staring at the chasm that had torn the earth apart, his lips trembled, unable to utter a single word for a long time. His eyes were filled with shock and fear—breaking the sound barrier with a human body? No! This speed surpassed that of any known aircraft; even radar couldn't detect it!
Zhao Tiancheng stuffed the half-smoked cigarette he was holding into his mouth, even chewing the butt. His throat tightened, yet he couldn't help but let out a fanatical smile. He pointed north, swallowed, and turned to Chu Jianguo, his voice hoarse but tinged with excitement: "Director Chu, guess... have those bastards from the Ye family written their wills yet?"
The old Ye family residence in Beijing.
Kunlun Venerable Envoy was sitting by the offering table, sipping fine tea, his expression languid, his eyes full of disdain—in his eyes, Lu Yuan was nothing more than an ant in the mortal world, who would obediently come and kneel to offer the jade pendant upon receiving his order, daring not to resist in the slightest.
Little did he know that a figure was hurtling toward the capital at an earth-shattering speed, causing the earth to tremble and the wind and clouds to change color wherever it passed.
Little did he know that the ants he spoke of were about to raze the Ye family's old mansion to the ground, crush his pride, and make the entire Kunlun Mountain pay a heavy price for their arrogance!
