Lu Xun's heart surged with boundless rage.
He had never intended to help Chen Nan resist the powerful enemies.
After all, they had come here looking for trouble in the first place.
But for the survival of the Lu family.
They had no choice but to do so.
No matter who the other party was.
He would not allow them to disrupt Chen Nan's pill refinement.
As they spoke.
Two figures clad in black night-walking attire appeared behind Lu Xun.
Their auras were powerful.
Making one uneasy.
One of the black-clothed figures spoke, "Lu Xun, our target is not you."
"If you don't want to die, scram!"
Lu Xun frowned, "You know this old man?"
"Who exactly are you?"
"Why do you dare not show yourself?"
He tried to sense the other party's aura.
However, their auras were completely concealed.
To the point that even he did not know who the person before him was.
The black-clothed figure emitted a low voice, "Who I am is not important. What is important is that the person refining the pill must die!"
Lu Xun let out a heavy snort, "As long as this old man is here, you will never kill Chen Nan!"
Black-clothed figure: "Then I will kill you first!" Saying so, he wielded a long staff and charged towards Lu Xun.
Lu Xun scoffed, raising his sword to block, "Do you think this old man fears you?"
A fierce battle instantly erupted.
Not just on Lu Xun's side.
Other members of the Lu family were also attacked by mysterious black-clothed figures.
Although the number of black-clothed figures was not large.
They were all powerful.
In an instant, several members of the Lu family were killed.
Blood flowed like rivers, and screams filled the air.
The air was permeated with the pungent smell of blood.
It was like a living hell.
However, Lu Xun was not flustered. He directly asked Lu Yuan to summon reinforcements.
As an alchemist.
His strongest means was his connections.
If they encountered trouble outside the city, help might be too far away to arrive in time.
But within the city.
Summoning people was just a matter of a word.
Lu Yuan immediately picked up the communication token and called for help.
"Dog Lord, what's going on?"
"Why do we have so many reinforcements?"
On the rooftop.
Guo Yu stood quietly.
His eagle-like eyes pierced through the darkness, seeing the people fighting chaotically around them.
Di Ting's eyes were solemn, "The people from the Buddhist sect have made their move."
It could feel that those black-clothed figures originated from the Buddhist sect.
Although it had expected that the Buddhist sect would one day discover Chen Nan's existence.
And nip it in the bud.
It had not expected this day to come so quickly.
"Why would the Buddhist sect make a move to kill Big Brother?" Guo Yu's eyes were filled with confusion.
Di Ting thought for a moment, "He is the correct answer to fixing the wrong."
"His existence will prove that certain people have committed unforgivable mistakes."
"But if the correct answer is erased..."
"Then the wrong answer will become the right one."
Guo Yu shook his head, "I don't understand what you're saying, but I have always believed that no one can twist right from wrong."
Di Ting sighed, "How can the evils of this world be something you can imagine?"
"More experts have arrived!" Guo Yu looked at the distant night sky and grinned, "Today, our household is truly lively! I want to shoot them!"
Di Ting also smiled, "Today, you don't need to do anything. Someone will help us fend off the strong enemies."
The Buddhist baldasses were powerful.
But they were not stronger than the Lu family's connections.
No.
To put it simply.
The Buddhist sect dared not openly appear and kill Chen Nan.
After all, the Buddhist sect's principle was compassion.
If they openly killed someone.
It would shatter their image of compassion, selflessness, and high standing in the eyes of the world.
Therefore.
This battle between the Lu family and the Buddhist sect.
The victor was destined to be the Lu family.
As time passed.
More and more powerful individuals arrived from all directions.
Most of them were at the Earth Ghost realm, and some were even at the Heaven Ghost realm.
Their presence suppressed the black-clothed figures in terms of aura.
The people from the Buddhist sect had never expected to encounter members of the Lu family today.
This caused them heavy casualties.
However, no one chose to flee.
Because their objective was to kill Chen Nan.
The battle continued.
At the same time.
A crimson lightning bolt descended from the sky.
Immediately, a clear and resonant collision sound echoed through the heavens and the earth.
"The pill has appeared!"
Lu Xun's eyes lit up.
In an instant.
The tribulation clouds in the sky turned fiery red.
As if the heavens had been set ablaze.
Rosy clouds filled the sky.
This was a celestial phenomenon produced by the emergence of a divine pill.
It shocked countless commoners.
Because they had never witnessed such a magical scene before.
At the same time.
A refreshing medicinal fragrance permeated the heavens and the earth.
Seeing this, Lu Xun said to the black-clothed figure before him, "Our Lu family only wants this pill. Once the pill is obtained, we will leave. Whether Chen Nan lives or dies will be entirely up to you."
"How about it?"
He could also feel that these people had extraordinary origins.
And he was unwilling to offend them easily.
The black-clothed figure hesitated for a moment, "Good!"
Lu Xun looked towards the distant mansion and said in a low voice, "Chen Nan, you brat, come out and talk!"
Swish!
Chen Nan's figure appeared out of thin air in mid-air. He looked down at Lu Xun below, "Are you the one barking incessantly? What business do you have with Grandpa?"
Lu Xun's eyes flickered with coldness, "This old man does not wish to look up when speaking to others, get down here!"
As he spoke.
A terrifying aura swept towards Chen Nan.
But it was embarrassingly discovered that...
Chen Nan had not moved an inch.
This made his heart tremble with horror.
He hadn't expected Chen Nan, with his cultivation at the fifth level of the Soul Devouring realm,
To possess such terrifying strength.
Thus, he also flew into mid-air.
With a casual wave of his hand.
Lu Bailing and Lu Qingqing, the two sisters, flew out.
Lu Xun threatened, "If you want to save the lives of these two sisters, hand over that pill!"
"Otherwise, I will kill them right now!"
"Young Master Chen, do not agree to his demands!" Lu Bailing looked at Chen Nan, her eyes shimmering with crystal mist, a testament to tears of gratitude and contentment.
"In this lifetime, our sisters have no regrets meeting you. Please do not agree to the Lu family's demands."
They did not know what kind of pill Chen Nan was refining.
But they knew one thing.
They absolutely could not become a bargaining chip for the Lu family to threaten Chen Nan.
If that were to happen.
Their conscience would be burdened.
"Chen Nan, are you really going to watch these two sisters die before your eyes for the sake of a pill?" Lu Yuan appeared beside Lu Xun, a long sword in his hand, and directly held it at Lu Bailing's neck.
A playful smile appeared on his face, "If you want to see these two sisters die before your eyes, I can fulfill that wish for you."
"Old geezer, do you believe I'll shoot you dead right now?" On the rooftop.
Guo Yu drew his bow.
A cold arrow locked onto Lu Yuan.
At this moment.
Lu Yuan felt a chilling aura.
Making his entire body tremble with cold.
He shuddered uncontrollably.
However.
He endured the unease in his heart and gritted his teeth, saying, "Even if you shoot me, I will take this beast down with me!"
Lu Xun's voice was cold, "Surname Chen, choose one between the pill and the snake demon!"
Chen Nan's face was grim.
He naturally did not want to hand over the pill to them.
But he could not stand by and watch Lu Bailing and Lu Qingqing die before his eyes.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I can give you the pill, but I have a condition."
Lu Xun sneered, "What right do you have to negotiate terms with my Lu family?"
