“Shen Guang!”
Lu Yunshan emitted a deafening cry, filled with extreme fury and resentment.
He never expected that he would be ambushed, receiving severe injuries; not to mention that the unparalleled divine weapon he had just acquired was also taken away.
The man who ambushed him was someone he recognized: named Shen Guang, originated from the Shen Family, and was from his generation.
Back then, he was ranked first on the Prodigious List, and Shen Guang was second.
Later on, he became the top of the First Rank List, and Shen Guang was still second.
The two of them had never crossed blades, but they had met face-to-face once.
In the end, it was Shen Guang, the one he had always overshadowed, who delivered a fatal blow at a critical moment, leading to his complete downfall.
His heart was filled with hatred.
If it had been a fair fight, Shen Guang might not have been his match.
Shen Guang had already gripped the sword in his hand, the blade itself was still buzzing, seemingly trying to free itself from his grasp.
A mass of dark mana enveloped the blade, suppressing it.
At this moment, he revealed his figure: a thin physique with skin so pale it was abnormal, and a pair of bloody red pupils.
There was an evil smile on his face, “Lu Yunshan, back then, you constantly overshadowed me. Did you ever think that one day, you would fall at my hands…”
“Ha, ha, ha…”
Shen Guang burst out into an uncontrollable laughter, delighting in his triumph.
Back then, if he wasn’t cautious of Lu Yunshan’s background, he would have long wanted to kill this man who was always overshadowing him.
Until today, he had finally avenged the grudge in his heart.
Having eliminated his enemy, and obtaining a peerless divine weapon, of course, he had every reason to celebrate.
“Shen Guang?”
From a not-so-distant tavern, Tian Zheyu instinctively glanced at Elder Shen, who was squinting his eyes as if asleep.
However, having spent years in his company, Tian Zheyu could instantly tell that he was faking it.
In the Red Mansion, Tian Zheyu was aware of every inspector’s background. Only Elder Shen’s record was completely blank. Even he couldn’t find any trace of Elder Shen’s origin.
Elder Shen’s surname was Shen. Naturally, the most probable explanation was that he came from the Shen Family.
Before this, Tian Zheyu always felt that it couldn’t be that simple.
Now it seems, it is highly possible that he belongs to the Shen Family.
Taking into account the Shen Family’s harsh mechanism of fostering successors, it was quite normal for someone to flee.
Based on the time Elder Shen entered the Red Mansion, he was likely of the same generation as Shen Guang.
Upon realizing this, Tian Zheyu became restless, “Elder Shen, perhaps, we should leave first.”
If Shen Guang found Elder Shen, there was bound to be a fight to the death.
However, Elder Shen only shook his head, appearing completely unaffected.
Tian Zheyu had a load of questions, but didn’t ask knowing it would be of no use.
On the other side, Chu Mei, under Lu Yunshan’s sword, had her short sword split in half. A deep wound was on her chest where blood was gushing out.
That blow had almost cut her in half.
Chu Xiyue and Chu Yinxing were originally planning to escape during the chaos, but such an unexpected change occurred.
Though Lu Yunshan was severely injured from the ambush, the mana barrier in the courtyard was still present due to Shen Guang’s intervention.
Not only did Shen Guang trap Lu Yunshan, but he also trapped all three of them inside.
“Grandma!”
Chu Xiyue went to inspect Chu Mei’s injuries. As soon as her hand reached out, she felt a sharp pain. The residual Blade Intent nearly severed her fingertip.
This was the terrifying power of a mana realm expert. The mana residue in the wound was extremely difficult to eliminate.
Currently, Chu Mei was using all of her remaining mana to resist the Blade Intent. She could not even utter a word, let alone move.
Her injuries were severe. If they did not return to treat it promptly, it could potentially damage her vitality.
With this in mind, Chu Xiyue could no longer sit still. She looked up at Shen Guang, still laughing uproariously, and shouted, “Senior Shen, this feud is between you and Lu Yushan, please let us leave.”
Upon hearing her words, Shen Guang finally paused and looked down at her. A hint of mockery showed in his red eyes, “I’m curious, what exactly did you take from Lu Yushan? That he chased you all the way to Luo Family’s territory? That Chu Mei was willing to risk her life?”
“It’s just a technique scroll.”
Chu Xiyue said, “The Shen Family and Chu Family both belong to one of the nine great families. Sharing this technique with you all is no harm. However, my grandma is seriously injured, she needs to return for treatment immediately.”
