Kunpengfang was in chaos.

Flames, thick smoke, swaying figures of people putting out the fire, and civilians and soldiers running around.

In the darkness, Xiong Taidou landed silently and ran quickly in the dark alley. When he rushed out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he stopped vomiting blood, and his expression was extremely relaxed, and his steps were brisk as if he was taking a picnic.

At the easternmost side of Kunpengfang, next to the military road adjacent to the canal, Xiong Taidou stopped, listened around for a while, then stood still with a smile.

Lu Yu emerged silently from the darkness and stood calmly three feet in front of Xiong Taidou.

The two looked at each other for a while. Xiong Taidou grinned and, with a hint of reluctance, he bowed to Lu Yu and said, "Senior Brother!"

Lu Yu waited until Xiong Taidou had finished his greeting before he smiled and nodded, returning the greeting: "I dare not. You entered the sect many years earlier than I did. I should call you my senior brother."

Xiong Taidou looked at Lu Yu with a depressed look on his face: "I dare not, the sect has strict rules and regulations. You are the inner sect's true disciple, and I am the outer sect's guardian. Who dares to break the rules? Tsk tsk..."

Shaking his head, Xiong Taidou touched the part of his body that was hit by Lu Yu's heavy punch just now, grinning and said, "Not bad, the Jingyang Lu family's Canghai Jing, hehe, it still has some strength, it actually hurt me!"

Lu Yu sheathed his sword, looked at Xiong Taidou and said leisurely: "I only used 30% of my strength, how about you?"

Xiong Taidou rolled his eyes and said with a strange smile: "Guess?"

The two were silent and looked at each other. Lu Yu waved to Xiong Taidou and said, "Then, let's say goodbye. I'll have to trouble you with the follow-up work in Anping Prefecture. It will take a few tough battles to make a decision."

Xiong Taidou patted his chest lightly and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, there will be no mistakes. In Gaojing, except for those useless so-called death warriors, we haven't used even half of our true strength."

"Just wait and see what's going to happen, Anping Prefecture... Hehe, with the current morals of the Dayin court, whoever dares to lead an army there, I will beat the yolks out of their eggs, or I will be his grandson. Hehe... That's right!"

Xiong Taidou suddenly took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and stared at Lu Yu with his big eyes.

Lu Yu clenched his fists and looked at Xiong Taidou, who suddenly tensed up, with caution: "What's going on? Is there something wrong?"

Xiong Taidou pointed at Lu Yu and said in a deep voice, "I wanted to deal with this matter myself two days ago, but tonight is a big event and the sect's rules are strict. I dare not act rashly, so I let it go for two days."

"You have a nephew named Lu Yi."

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Lu Yu, yes, that's my nephew... He can't possibly have a grudge against you, right?"

Xiong Taidou looked at Lu Yu with a strange expression: "Your nephew, sixteen years old, Tuomai realm, such talent... If you want to protect him, we will have to fight. My only nephew, the current owner of Gaojing Xiong's martial arts hall, Xiong Dingtian, should have died in his hands."

"Except Xiong Dingtian, several of my outer disciples were also killed!"

"I have thought about it for a long time, and this matter could only have been done by Lu Yi."

Lu Yu stared at Xiong Taidou with a serious look: "You want to kill him?"

Xiong Taidou shook his head from side to side, and his cervical vertebrae made a series of dull sounds. "Do you want to protect him? Well, you don't really think that all my hard work in the sect for sixty years has been in vain? You are not my opponent."

Lu Yu gently pressed the hilt of the sword with his fingers.

He frowned and thought seriously for a long time before he sighed quietly, "In theory, although he is my nephew, we were not close in the past years."

"Although he is listed in the family tree of our Tian'en Marquisate, when Tian'en Marquisate was separated from Laiguo Duke's House, he should have stayed in Laiguo Duke's House according to the close blood relationship."

"But, the eldest son of a certain master, the eldest nephew of the eldest son of the Duke of Lai's Mansion, took over the hereditary position of Yu Lin Zhong Lang left by his grandfather. It just so happened that I was awarded the title of marquis for my meritorious service. According to the rules of the imperial court, I cannot continue to hang out with the Duke of Lai's Mansion, so the two families separated and Lu Yi was given to my Tian'en Marquis Mansion."

"In this case, since Lu Yi is a member of my Tian'en Marquis Mansion, he will never have the chance to go to the Laiguo Duke Mansion and take back his grandfather's hereditary position as Yu Lin Zhonglang."

"Hey! He is a close minister of the emperor, commanding more than 30,000 soldiers. He is an absolute senior general in the Yulin Army. He accompanies the emperor all year round and may rise to the top at any time. This is a top-notch position in the city of Haojing!"

Lu Yu smiled contemptuously and shook his head, saying, "A dignified Duke's Mansion bullies a little kid like this, tsk!"

Xiong Taidou looked at Lu Yu in confusion: "What exactly do you want to say? I'm a rough person and I'm not used to beating around the bush like this."

Lu Yu folded his hands across his chest.

When Xiong Taidou saw Lu Yu like this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his tense body slightly - Lu Yu's posture made it difficult to launch a sudden attack, which should represent his goodwill towards Xiong Taidou.

"The reason I said so much is to convince myself to let you kill Lu Yi."

Lu Yu said coldly: "After all, no matter where he was supposed to be, his last name is Lu, and he is my nephew in terms of blood. His current name is even on the family tree of the Lu family of Tian'en Marquis Mansion."

"If you want to kill him, you'll be slapping me in the face."

Xiong Taidou's eyes were a little scattered. He stared at Lu Yu and said in a hissing voice, "So, do you agree or not?"

Lu Yu looked up at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds.

He was silent for a while, then he slowly said: "I said, he was not supposed to be a member of my Tianen Marquis Mansion... Well, I remember, I was beaten by his father Lu Yu back then."
"When I was still studying and practicing martial arts at the clan school, everyone was gambling after school. I wanted to owe a fellow clan member two hundred coins, a mere two hundred copper coins... In the end, Lu Yu beat me up."

"Later, I didn't make much progress in my studies, so I joined the Yulin Army early."

"Because I was young and ignorant, I violated military discipline. His grandfather Lu Xiu ordered me to be severely punished with twenty military sticks."

"There is no affection at all for relatives. So..."

Lu Yu took a deep breath and then shook his head vigorously.

He opened his arms, looked at Xiong Taidou with deep eyes, and said in a faint voice: "I want to convince myself that Lu Yu is not my biological son, nor is he my nephew who is too close to me. His father beat me, and his grandfather beat me."

"But when I was young, my family was not well off. Very poor. My family was considered the poorest of the poor in the Lu family of Jingyang."

"I was seriously ill, and Lu Yu paid for medicine for me."

"In the Yulin Army, Lu Xiu personally taught me how to use a spear, and even used money from his salary to buy me medicine for my training."

"I remember clearly what Uncle Xiu said at that time - the lineage of the Duke of Lai's Mansion is getting weaker with each generation. It is rare to have someone like me who is willing to shed blood and sweat to practice martial arts."

"In fact, I never thought about the Lu family's foundation, the glory of the Lu family, or anything like that."

"I'm just very poor and I'm desperately trying to make a career."

"But I am not good at studying, I don't know how to do business, and I have no chance of becoming an official. Apart from a miserable life, what else can I do but join the army to fight for a future?"

"Although I have my own luck, I must admit that it was Uncle Xiu who helped me gain a foothold in the Yulin Army."

"In fact, do you know that the money I used to marry my current wife was lent to me by Lu Yu from his own savings."

Xiong Taidou's expression turned fierce again. He stared at Lu Yu fiercely and said, "So, you don't agree?"

Lu Yu took a deep breath, and then a terrifying sound of waves crashing against the shore sounded from his body. His skin turned a light dark gold, a diamond seal appeared between his eyebrows, and his body suddenly grew more than a foot taller.

He sneered at Xiong Taidou: "Damn you, who gave you the courage to plot against my Lu Yu clan?"

"I am a true disciple of the inner sect."

"You are the outer sect guardian!"

"My master is a hundred times more prestigious than yours. I am the Marquis of Dayin Tianen, commanding millions of elite soldiers in Beijie City, and you are just a lone man in the wilderness!"

"You want to negotiate terms with me?"

Before Xiong Taidou could come to his senses, Lu Yu stretched out his long arms, grabbed his shoulders, and lifted him above his head like an adult throwing a baby, and slammed him onto the military road paved with three-foot-thick stone slabs, and punched him in the face.

"Boom, boom, boom," the ground shook slightly.

Xiong Taidou, who had not been injured at all by the barrage of crossbows, was hit by Lu Yu with just two or three punches, causing his bones to crack and at least seven or eight bones to break. Half of his face collapsed, and blood kept gushing out of his mouth.

Lu Yu's heavy punches left Xiong Taidou with no power to fight back. He was beaten so hard that his whole body was sore and he collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Lightly patting his clothes, Lu Yu looked down at Xiong Taidou, who was lying on the ground with a look of horror, and said leisurely: "Sixty years of hard training? Hmm? That's all you got? No wonder you can only be an outer sect guardian, while I am the inner sect's true disciple! There's really no comparison between these two people!"

"Well, go back to Anping Prefecture and start the movement according to the sect's plan."

"The sect's rules are strict. If you dare to disrupt the sect's arrangements, watch out for your skin!"

"Also, while I am in Haojing City, I will not allow you to bully Lu Yi... Every time I see you in Haojing City, I will beat you up!"

Xiong Taidou stared at Lu Yu angrily: "You don't allow me to bully the weak? Then, what about my disciples?"

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Since it was Lu Yu who killed your junior, it is only natural for your disciples to take revenge..."

"But you owe me a favor, remember! I allow your disciples to seek revenge on Lu Yi in an upright manner. You owe me a huge favor!"

Xiong Taidou looked at Lu Yu in frustration and spat out another mouthful of blood.

I got beaten so badly that seven or eight bones were broken, and I still owe someone a favor?

But……

Thinking of Lu Yu's terrifying punch, Xiong Taidou felt his scalp tingling and completely lost any courage to argue with him.

The true secret of the sect!

He really can't be compared with an outer sect guardian like him.

"It's settled. The matter in Anping Prefecture will be foolproof." Xiong Taidou endured the severe pain of his broken bones, stood up, walked to the canal, stepped on a big hole in the canal, and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood next to the ice hole.
