Chapter 213 - Preparation (1/2)

The representative of Lu clan was force leaving with empty-handed, they never have though Zhao Li Xin would continue the war moreover it's only for one woman they convince his action is only on a fit of anger after several days they think Zhao Li Xin would come down and didn't pursue the matter farther, no sane man wants to get involved in unfavorable war.

Than the Lu clan take, they're presumptuous thought to another level, Lu clan is one of the most powerful families in the northern region they're position even match the northern royal family so they slightly underestimated Zhao Li Xin despite all the rumor about him.

They want to show to other people that Lu clan is the power that no one can trifle not even Hei Shen so they acted magnanimously to give a chance for Zhao Li Xin to explain his behavior for killing one of the Lu clan and for a reward they would granted Hei Shen with forgiveness.

Its a smart move to avoid war, and increased their influence in the society although they realize Zhao Li Xin would not entirely agree because he needs to save his face too as the leader of Hei Shen sect so they expected to be end up in discussion of an agreement but they did not expect, Zhao Li Xin didn't even bother to see them.

”He said what?” an old man with white hair throw his cup on the floor.

The man who kneeled on the floor didn't flinch his head remain downcast, the old man wears blue lavish robes with topknotted hairstyles cover with silver 'guan' headwear his appearance is very much like nobleman if only he didn't throw tantrum and screaming like a rogue.

”How dare he treated us like trash, what an impudent young man he is!” the old man screams furiously, the old man is one of the elders of the Lu clan, Lu Zhai Quan he also Lu Yao paternal grandfather. The old man didn't feel sad too much about Lu Yao's death because he still has another granddaughter who as good as Lu Yao the truth is their relationship is fall off after Lu Yao refuses to marry after she can't marry with the man she loves.

Lu Yao becomes old spinster is an embarrassment for him but thankfully her cultivation talent is not that bad and she becomes a famous figure so Zhai Quan still accepts her as his granddaughter but who could have thought this 'great' granddaughter would make a mess even after she died.

”Father we can let Lu Yao death swipe under the rug, what other people would think about us, the war maybe give us a little hard time but we must show everyone we are someone that can be trifle with even with Hei Shen,” said the main with lavish bright purple robes, he looks just in his early forty with square jawline and slanted eyes who make him look cunning, he is Lu Yao younger brother his name is Lu Mo Gen.

Lu Zhai Quan flick his robes and sit on his chair with a deep sigh ”You thing fighting with Hei Shen sect is the right move, you know about his rumor right?”

Lu Mo Gen puff his chest smugly ”Hump, so what? It just a rumor, should we believe all of it who knows if other people exaggerated it and by the way, we are not weak either, with our contractual beast how could we weaker then Hei Shen Sect” he sneer in contempt ”Our clan has been ruled for hundreds of years why should we scared with Hei Shen who only been here for a decade?”

Lu Zhai Quan nods his head solemnly ”You right, why should we afraid with them, I will tell this to the clan leader, we should not be afraid of them”

In the study room Zhao Li Xin lean on his chair while his headrest on his fist, the four King palace are sitting on the chair opposite him and the Mong's brother stand guard on his left and right, the room is quiet and intense the atmosphere inside the room is heavy and suffocating, everyone looks serious even the cheery Bei Li Yan.

”Where are you people right now?” Zhao Li Xin's voice breaks the silence.

Jiang Jin Wei straightened his pose ”Tree thousand people have reached the border of the northern kingdom, Milord”

”Is there any trouble?” he asked again with a lazy tone.

”Some people try to block our troops a few times but it was futile, nothing really happened Milord,” said Jiang Jin Wei with a calm voice.

”How is Lu Clan's condition?” Zhao Li Xin shifts his gaze to Bei Li Yan.

”There are five people who have King level cultivation, three elder including Lu Zhai Quan is on Heavenly King level but the leader of the Lu clan, Lu Tian Mo he is at the Emperor level in transition stage,” said Bei Li Yan with serious face, there's no playfulness in his face that he is to show.

Zhao Li Xin didn't make a comment he look immerse in a deep though ”What else…” he asked indifferently.
