Chapter 487: Eternal Life! (1/2)

“s.h.i.+nian——” Li Muyang cried out.

For the sake of their safety, he begged the Lu family to send Li s.h.i.+nian and his parents to Wind City before his duel with Mu Dingyi.

It was only then that he could face the battle with peace of mind.

At that time he was already prepared to die or to flee. If the difference in strength between them were too great, he would die. If there were a glimmer of hope, then he would flee.

He just couldn't expose his ident.i.ty and transform into a real dragon for the battle———

No matter what way he ultimately chose, it would be extremely bad for his family, because they did not have the ability to protect themselves.

Wind City was the ancestral residence of the Lu family and was defended by the Lord of Wind City Lu Wuyong as well as hundreds of thousands of armoured soldiers. As long as there was internal stability, even if the imperial court dispatched the army it would be incredibly difficult to siege Wind City.

When Li Muyang made this decision, he believed in the Lu Clan and believed in Wind City.

Ever since his parents and sister were sent away, his mind had been stable and he did not need to worry about their safety. In his subconscious mind, Wind city was invulnerable to attacks, can take the offensive or defensive as it chooses. Given that his parents were taken care of by the Lu clan then they should be safe.

However, what Li Muyang did not think about was that this move was the same as sending the sheep into the mouth of the tiger——He had personally sent his parents and little sister to the tiger's mouth.

Lu Wuyong had betrayed the Lu clan and Wind City had become extremely dangerous.

His little sister, Li s.h.i.+nian, was imprisoned in a firewood room, chained, and clothes stained with blood. He did not know if she had suffered any serious injuries.

“Lu Wuyong———” Recuperating on a boulder in the distance, Lu Qingming roared out violently at the sight of the scene in the light screen. His chest was heaving up and down, and once again spurted out blood.

“That Lu Wuyong———”

For Lu Qingming, it was even more difficult to accept such a betrayal.

He and Lu Wuyong were from the same sect and ancestor, and belonged to the same Lu clan. At a very young age, Lu Wuyong was sent to the Lu residence in Tiandu to undergo important training. Lu Xingkong had spent a lot of time and energy on him, and polished him to become one of the core figures of the Lu family. Later, he was sent to West Wind University, and after the completion of a military post for two years, was sent to the military of Wind City to do paperwork. He was then step-by-step promoted to be the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the City Lord of Wind city.

Wind city was the root of the Lu clan, also the safe place that Lu Xingkong had carefully created. No matter how dangerous they were in Tiandu, no matter how they dealt with the enemy, as long as they escaped from Tiandu they would be able to protect the lives of their family.

Moreover, Lu Qingming and Lu Wuyong grew up together, were as close as brothers. When Lu Qingming led troops in Wind City, Lu Wuyong was his left leg and right arm. The two fought shoulder-to-shoulder, advanced and retreated together, and treated each other with absolute sincerity.

Previously the two had often communicated through letters. He explained to Lu Qingming that the enemy was making unusual movements, so he had to stay stationed at the frontier in case the other side had plans to invade. Although Lu Qingming had doubts, he was quick to dispel those bad thoughts. He had been stationed military for years and knew that any slightest movement from the enemy forces would cause a series of chain reaction. It was incredibly important to not be careless in military affairs. Thus his behaviour was perfectly understandable. As a result, Lu Qingming also wrote back to tell him not to mind and that as long as he was loyal to the country.

What he did not think was that Lu Wuyong had long sent secret messages to others to set up an inescapable net in Wind City, waiting for these people to plunge into it.

Incessantly spitting out blood, Lu Qingming's body was becoming weaker and weaker.

He was not even able to sit upright, teetering, struggling to persist, and seemed would collapse on the boulder at any time.

“Lu Wuyong, I must kill you.” Lu Qingming hissed, mouth overflowing with blood.

“What have you done to s.h.i.+nian?” Li Muyang roared.

“As you can see, Miss s.h.i.+nian is now safe and sound. She is a guest in Wind City, and presumably your Lu family will take care of her. Don't worry. However, if our deal fails, then the consequences are difficult to predict.”

Li Muyang's eyes reddened as he roared: “Song Gudu, you are a despicable person——you're high and mighty, and people treat you like a G.o.d, but you're a complete sc.u.m. With your cultivation level and status, you did something like that to a little girl——What else in the world will you not do?”

Song Gudu calmly looked at Li Muyang who had entered into a crazy state. “At my age, there are already lot of things that I don't care much about anymore. For example, whether or not Lu Wuyong wants to be used by me. If he wants it, I'll accept it. If he doesn't want to, I'll find someone else to replace him. For example, now they have imprisoned your sister in a firewood room, no matter what their motives or purpose is, I have no thought of asking and no intention of finding the answer——I just need to know what the result is and that will be enough. Now what I'm showing you is the result, your answer. So, it's your turn now. Li Muyang, what's your answer?”

Li Muyang tried hard to suppress the vicious tendencies in his heart, glowering at Song Gudu with blood-red eyes he fumed: “What kind of deal do you want to make with me?”

“Trade your life for their lives.” Song Gudu stated.

“What kind of exchange is that?”
