I use my future dreams to prove immortality.

Chapter 50 Combating Evil

"I am the mansion..." Jiang Yuefeng hadn't finished her opening remarks when she saw Lu Chengping's breath turn purple.

A spiritual tool?!

Zhou Qiuyuan comes from a poor family, how could he possibly have obtained a Thunder Spirit Tool?

Isn't the royal family monopolizing Thunder Spirit Tools?

Even more surprisingly, he mastered the Yang Thunder Lung after only one month of cultivation.

The two dared not be careless, their palms resting on the hilts of their swords, and spiritual light emanating from their breaths.

Yun Nu, who had been waiting in the distance, was furious when he saw his young master being humiliated. He charged forward in his earth-yellow armor, like a high-speed chariot, heading straight for Jiang Yuefeng, the strongest among them.

As his personal bodyguard, he developed the habit of constantly accumulating earth elemental energy in his lungs to prepare for any emergencies and ensure the young master's safety.

By the time Jiang Yuefeng realized what was happening, it was already too late.

With a jolt of the house wall, Jiang Yuefeng was almost embedded in the wall. A sharp pain shot through his right hand, and his sword flew out of his hand.

Jiang Yuefeng was, after all, a body cultivator who had achieved mastery of internal cultivation. Just as he was about to struggle to walk out of the courtyard wall, he felt a weight on the back of his neck. The eight-foot-tall strong man had already grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuanxun raised a crimson flame in his Crimson Flame Blade and slashed at Yun Nu's arm that was gripping her father's neck.

With a clang of metal striking metal, the fire blade pierced three inches into the protective stone wall of the Cloud Slave, but could not advance any further.

"court death!"

boom!

Jiang Yuanxun felt a strong sense of crisis approaching. He caught a glimpse of a purple light flashing towards him and was sent flying.

He fell to the ground, feeling numb all over, and for a moment he couldn't control his body.

A loud commotion came from the courtyard, and the people inside, who weren't deaf, all came out.

"What exactly happened?" Zhou Qiuyuan was completely bewildered. He had originally intended to use the prestige of the Lu family and his master, the Thunder Blade, to deter troublemakers.

After improving my strength, I'll settle accounts with those two later.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chengping got into a fight with Jiang Yuefeng and his son Jiang Yuanxun after a disagreement.

"Who are these two? Could they be your enemies?!"

Lu Chengping looked at Zhou Qiuyuan, who was completely stunned, and Zhou Chengwu and Shen Wan, who had followed him out with questions. Their behavior did not seem like they knew these two people.

Wei Jin asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"

When Lu Chengping saw his master speak, he suppressed his fierce aura and said with a helpless expression, "I don't know what happened either. I thought Yunnu had something to report, but as soon as I opened the door, I was slapped."

Wei Jin turned to look at Zhou Qiuyuan and asked in a deep voice, "Are these the enemies you've made outside?"

Not only did Wei Jin become suspicious, but Lu Chengping also felt that he had shielded Zhou Qiuyuan from disaster. If it weren't for his master's presence, he would have already lashed out.

Zhou Qiuyuan's facial muscles had undergone minor tempering, allowing him to control his expression freely. He asked in confusion, "This disciple is unaware; I have never seen these two people before."

"Senior Brother Lu, I really don't know these two people. If you don't believe me, we can confront them face to face."

His tone conveyed a sense of grievance, vividly portraying the image of someone who had been wronged.

Zhou Qiuyuan had only met Jiang Yuefeng and his son in a future dream, and the two had no interaction in reality, so he was not afraid of a confrontation.

Lu Chengping did not believe Zhou Qiuyuan's one-sided account. He gestured for Yunnu to release her grip on Jiang Yuefeng's neck and said coldly, "Who are you? Who ordered you to attack me?"

Jiang Yuefeng realized that something was wrong; the leaders all gave him a feeling that they were not easy to deal with.

That dignified-looking old man, could it be... Wei Jin, the Thunder Blade?

How did Zhou Qiuyuan manage to invite him here?

And to make matters worse, he came to visit today; he's really had terrible luck.

Jiang Yuefeng knew he had bitten off more than he could chew this time. Once he revealed his intention to break the contract and extort money from her, he was in for a world of trouble.

The only solution is to turn hostility into friendship.

He forced a smile and said, "I am the landlord of this house. Knowing that it has been rented out, I wanted to come and... make some connections."

Make friends?

Who would befriend someone by slapping them across the face upon their arrival?

They can't even make up a lie.

"Do you even know who you've hit? The third young master of the Lu family! Since you're unwilling to tell the truth, then wait for someone to collect your corpses!" Zhou Qiuyuan sneered and shouted, "Tell me the truth now!"

Upon hearing the name of the Lu family, Jiang Yuefeng and Jiang Yuanxun felt their legs tremble.

Jiang Yuefeng had experienced the darkest period in Black Swamp City and knew the Lu family's methods all too well. His knees buckled and he knelt down. "We listened to the slander of villains and learned that the Zhou family had hoarded grain, so we thought of tearing up the lease agreement and extorting money by raising the rent."

"I truly had no idea it was Young Master Lu in person!"

"We will never dare to do it again! Please spare our lives, Young Master Lu."

Jiang Yuanxun and Jiang Yuefeng slapped themselves hard across the face.

Zhou Qiuyuan looked apologetic and said to Lu Chengping, "This is all my fault, Junior Brother. It was meant to cause trouble for me, but Senior Brother Lu took the blame for me. I feel terrible about it."

Lu Chengping's face was gloomy, and his anger had not subsided. He did not say anything more and let the two leave.

With his doubts resolved, Lu Chengping made an excuse and hurriedly left.

Wei Jin and Luo Tong did not stay long; after their meal, they left in a hurry.

Plans can never keep up with changes. Zhou Qiuyuan originally intended to intimidate the Jiang family tyrants, but he didn't expect it to cause such a commotion.

Zhou Qiuyuan wasn't worried about anything going wrong, after all, he was the 'victim'. His only concern was whether Lu Chengping would take his anger out on him because of the slap.

There's no time to worry about that now.

there is always a solution to a problem.

As long as their master Wei Jin is still alive, the two can always maintain a superficial relationship as fellow disciples and won't go too far.

The Lu family's private residence.

A dark and secluded room.

The walls were filled with a mixture of glutinous rice juice and special materials, providing excellent sound insulation. This place was often used by the Lu family for some shady private matters.

Jiang Yuefeng and Jiang Yuanxun were hung up by meat hooks, like pigs being slaughtered by a butcher.

A hunched old man held a skinning knife and slowly cut pieces of skin off the two men, as if he were about to torture them to death.

The Jiang father and son pleaded with the white-robed young master who was watching from the distance, "Young Master Lu, we really didn't lie to you, it was all a misunderstanding."

"This was a momentary lapse of judgment on my part; please spare my son..."

Lu Chengping remained silent, observing quietly. In the light of the oil lamp, his eyes seemed to burn with two leaping flames, scorching the heart.

The old man took out a jar of sesame oil and applied it evenly to the two men.

"Squeak!"

The old man opened the iron cages one by one, and dozens of furry black rats rushed out.

These black rats were not afraid of people. They smelled the aroma of sesame oil and quickly climbed onto the skinned Jiang father and son, and began to gnaw at them.

Screams echoed continuously from the underground chamber.
