Chapter 756: Chapter 756: The Supreme Ancestor of the Lu Family!

Chu Zhongtian suddenly took flight, startling the members of the Lu family, who knelt down in unison.

Lu Chen and Chu Zhongtian had walked into the Lu Family estate on foot, and to be honest, aside from Lu Chen effortlessly killing Lu Changkong, no one had witnessed Lu Chen’s true abilities.

Now, Chu Zhongtian’s action of stepping into the void and walking on air only deepened the awe in their hearts.

Only when Chu Zhongtian flew outside of Yuzhou City did the people of the Lu Family rise to their feet.

"Brother Changyi," a cousin from a collateral line approached him and said, "What should we do now?"

Lu Changyi glanced at him and said, "What else can we do? Of course, we wait for Lu Chen to return."

"But... will Lu Chen really not kill us?"

They were all aware of Lu Chen’s ordeal in the Lu Family.

It wasn’t their fault, but they couldn’t be sure that Lu Chen wouldn’t implicate them!

"Whether we live or die is not for us to decide."

A touch of unwillingness flashed in Lu Changyi’s eyes. If Lu Chen didn’t kill them, it would be one thing, but if Lu Chen decided to kill them...

That would be a gross injustice!

But where could they possibly flee to?

"Should we take this chance and leave now?"

Another person squeezed forward and suggested in a whisper.

"If we leave, offending those ancient beasts would mean certain death!"

Lu Changyi gave him a look.

Inside the grand hall, discussions erupted once more, all about their individual escape routes.

Although Lu Changyi held the highest familial stature, he couldn’t decide their fate.

In the midst of the confusion, someone pushed their way to the front.

"Brother Changyi, if it comes down to it, let’s ask the elder ancestor to come out! The half-step martial artist as he is, there’s no one better than him to make a decision."

"Yes, the elder ancestor! He hasn’t shown himself for a long time, perhaps he has become an immortal master by now!"

"Exactly, exactly, the elder ancestor is also an immortal master by now. That would place him on equal footing with Lu Chen... and with the highest seniority!"

The Lu family still had an elder supreme ancestor who, many years ago, reached the half-step Qi Refinement Realm and never left seclusion – he might have broken through and become an immortal master!

Though they were only martial artists, they knew the distinction between immortals and mortals. Unless it was a matter of clan extinction, they must not disturb the elder ancestor!

Previously, when Lu Changkong was around, the entire Lu Family followed his absolute rule.

After Zhao Chang’s arrival, Lu Changkong was even less likely to disturb the elder ancestor. His reasoning was simple: if Zhao Chang could help him reach the Qi Refinement Realm, then why...

would he give that advantage to the elder ancestor?

Under his heavy-handed rule, the people of the Lu Family naturally did not turn their thoughts in that direction.

But now, with no one in charge of the Lu Family, and many differing opinions, the moment someone brought up this matter, they won unanimous agreement from the others.

Lu Changyi frowned.

He felt this was highly inappropriate.

Even if the elder ancestor had made a breakthrough, does that mean he would definitely be stronger than Lu Chen?

After all, Lu Chen had always been out in the world. Knowing that Yuzhou City was troubled by ancient beasts, he went directly to confront them.

In contrast, if the elder ancestor was alive, would there be no sign of him?

As he pondered, most of the Lu Family had already reached a consensus and were rushing toward the back mountain deep in the estate.

That was the place of seclusion for the elder ancestor!

Lu Changyi wanted to stop them, but it was too late. Seeing their fervent enthusiasm, he knew well that nothing he did would make any difference.

The grand hall quickly emptied.

"Brother Zhao, sorry for the embarrassment," Lu Changyi said, feeling dejected, yet his gaze caught Zhao Chang leaning against a nearby column.

"They’re simply seeking their own deaths," Zhao Chang commented indifferently.

"Brother Zhao... What do you mean by that?" Lu Changyi caught the implication in his words.

"I’m not familiar with the Lu Family, but I understand Lu... the immortal master! He is loyal and kind-hearted, with goodwill in his heart. If he wanted to harm you, I believe it would only take one thought to do so."

Lu Changyi had suspected as much but had no evidence.

Zhao Chang continued, "It seems that Master Chu stayed here to keep you all from acting rashly, but from what I see now, Master Chu appears to be... left by Master Lu to protect you."

Zhao Chang sighed, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

He was at peace with the situation.

If death was certain in this scenario, there would be no surviving it.

If survival was possible...

he didn’t need to do anything.

So why not close his eyes and rest, conserving energy instead?

Lu Changyi, looking at Zhao Chang’s indifferent face, suddenly understood something.

Just then,

terrifying roars of beasts were heard once more from outside the city!

In front of Chu Zhongtian, suddenly appeared a huge ancient beast with wings!

The beast kept flapping its wings, sending waves of demonic power with each beat.

And Chu Zhongtian was hovering in midair, deftly dodging while he commanded the Shadowless Gold Sword!

The Shadowless Gold Sword wove through the demonic power, intermittently visible, closing in on the beast’s lower neck!
