Jiangnan Huaicheng.
Dongfang family.
Dongfang Qi looked at the two black-robed men in front of him, and tightened his grip on the spear. His back was already covered in cold sweat. Although the two men had not spoken from beginning to end, the strong sense of oppression they conveyed made him breathless. Dongfang Qi forced himself to calm down the Qi in his body, took a deep breath, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Lü Tianman."
"Lü Tiangu."
"We come from Yingzhou." The two men took off their hoods, revealing their young but cold faces. Their faces were almost identical, and they were actually a pair of twin brothers.
"Sure enough." Dongfang Qi lightly swung the silver spear in his hand, and a group of gunmen outside the yard rushed in at the same time and surrounded Yingzhou and the other man.
"The two of us came here today just to inform the head of the Dongfang family." Lu Tianman flashed to the side of Dongfang Qi. He put his hand on Dongfang Qi's neck. If he had a blade in his hand, Dongfang Qi's head would have fallen to the ground with just a slight scratch.
"Yingzhou is in the south, I hope the head of the Dongfang family can come to greet us." Lu Tiangu gently pressed down with his hand, and the spears in the hands of the gunmen all flew out and fell beside him.
"The coast of the South China Sea is thousands of miles away. Our Dongfang family is located in the south of the Yangtze River. What does it have to do with it?" Dongfang Yunwo suddenly appeared beside Dongfang Qi and punched Lu Tianman in the abdomen. Lu Tianman smiled, pulled his abdomen back, and immediately retreated to the center of the yard.
"This trip to Yingzhou will surely unify the world. If the Dongfang family welcomes us in the South China Sea, then the land of Jiangnan will belong to the Dongfang family. Several distinguished envoys also highly recognize the head of the Dongfang family. I believe that the choice of the Dongfang family will not disappoint us." Lu Tianman bowed his head and said.
Dongfang raised his hand, and a red spear flew out from the house and landed in his hand. He said expressionlessly: "In the past, I joined forces with Fusheng Zuimenglou to kill Ruoxu because I felt that his ambition would harm the four major families and lead our Dongfang family to a dead end. This was not a glorious thing for me to do, but I had to do it. However, I, Dongfang Yunwo, and our Dongfang family are definitely not the kind of people who would sell out friends for fame and fortune!"
Lu Tianman's expression became increasingly gloomy. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I think the Wang family might be more interested in the position of the Lord of Jiangnan."
"Then go find them." Dongfang Yunwo waved his spear and pointed it at the two people in the field, "The Dongfang family will come to the coast of the South China Sea, but they are here to kill you!"
"Okay!" Lu Tianman sneered, and he and Lu Tiangu jumped out of the Dongfang family's mansion.
Xuanwei City.
In front of the Wang family’s house, Fengqi Street.
One man, one sword, guarding the street entrance.
"Grandpa, I'm just a scholar." Wang Buchen sighed lightly and stuck the sword into the ground.
Two men in black robes appeared at the street corner. They glanced at Wang Buchen and frowned slightly.
"Who are you?" Lu Tianman asked.
"The acting head of the Wang family, Wang Buchen. Are you from Yingzhou?" Wang Buchen raised his eyebrows.
"My name is Lv Tianman, and this is my younger brother Lv Tiangu." Lv Tianman looked at the empty wall made of sword energy in front of him, stretched out a finger and lightly touched it but then retracted it. He praised, "Very powerful sword energy."
"There is a master standing behind him. Otherwise, he alone would not be able to set up such a sword wall." Lu Tiangu raised his head and looked behind Wang Buchen, although there was no one there.
By the pond in the Wang family's backyard, a white-haired old man was looking at the calm lake.
Above the lake, a long spear was suspended.
"Buchen, let them go." Wang Yi said in a deep voice.
Wang Buchen at the street corner made a "please" gesture: "You two, the Wang family does not welcome you, please leave."
"We can help you with your feud with the Dongfang family. We can also help you regain the status you lost in Jiangnan." Lu Tianman said slowly.
"That's also a matter between us and the Dongfang family." Wang Buchen looked at the sword in front of him, "If you step into this street, you will be the enemy of our Wang family."
"You made a wrong choice, just like your father." Lu Tianman and the other man turned and left without any hesitation, because they knew that the person standing behind Wang Buchen was even stronger than them.
"Grandpa, how many masters like this are there in Yingzhou? Not too many." Wang Buchen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two leave.
"There are at least thirty-six people named Tiangang, and there are many masters above them." Wang Yi said in a deep voice.
"This is difficult. Either of these two people is on par with my father." Wang Buchen drew his sword and turned back. "How should I reply to the letter from the academy?"
“Promise them. If anyone in the tribe objects, just say it was my idea.” Wang Yiyi raised his hand, and the spear on the lake spun and fell back into his hand.
"Okay." Wang Buchen put the sword back into the sheath.
Promise City.
On the green lake, a small boat with a turquoise roof was rocking gently, creating ripples across the entire lake.
"Young Master, Young Master, are you too anxious?" The woman in the boat blushed and panted.
"When it comes to beautiful scenery and beautiful women, of course you have to be anxious." The man took off his green clothes and buried his head in the woman's chest.
"Young Master." The woman stroked the man's head and finally closed her eyes.
Another small boat passed by them. Lu Tianman and Lu Tiangu stood there, looking at their small boat.
"Young man in blue, you are from Jiangnan and the fragrant apricot garden?" Lu Tianman asked softly, "Is the young man in the boat the young master of the Xie family in Jiangnan, the young man in blue?"
"Get lost." The man in green raised his head and waved his hand, "Don't spoil my fun."
The boat that Lv Tianman and the other man were standing on turned around and headed in another direction. Lv Tiangu was a little dissatisfied and raised his hand to strike back, but Lv Tianman stopped him. Lv Tianman looked down and said, "There are at least thirty hidden players who are very good at swimming."
"It won't take much to kill them all." Lu Tiangu snorted coldly.
"This trip is just to make it known to the world, not to kill anyone. This is what the envoy has instructed." Lu Tianman said in a deep voice.
"Don't you want to say a few more words to that man in green?" Lu Tiangu put down his hand.
"No need. The Xie family's attitude seems to be very clear." Lu Tianman sneered, "Let's go to Tianzhou City. There is the last of the four major families, the Weapon Shop Lu Family."
"Among the four major families, the Lu family is the one that is most easily overlooked." Lu Tiangu said quietly.
"So, they really need a reason to no longer be ignored," Lu Tianman replied.
