Chapter 195 - The Battle of Green Moon City

“Elder Lu, that request is a bit too much. Green Moon City does not officially belong to the Lu’s in any way.” Principal Gu was a man of few words, but he was not going to stay quiet when the city’s future could be forever damaged because of the Lu’s rage. Besides, his professionalism was not going to let him side with an outsider against the strongest cultivator South Star had ever schooled.

Xiao Qingyun also felt the need to give a speech. He was convinced by the Lu’s that he should let the superpower run an operation around the area, and was led by the elder to believe that Lu’s expedition was going to benefit the city. He needed to let the citizens know. Even though he was responsible for the recent mess, he wished nothing more than returning peace to the people.

“Lu Qianhuan, I was authorized by the dynasty itself to take care of this city. The martial families are under my command by law! You will have to stop threatening them, you are basically challenging the dynasty’s reign doing so!” The City Lord grunted and said.

“Say whatever you want, this is the real world where strength is all that counts, the Lu family is well established, and we have royal connections! You should be grateful that you have a chance to serve us!” Lu Qianhuan argued, his gaze was as cold as his voice, his Qi was pressuring the City Lord and the principal.

The returned prime Warrior’s presence was threatening everyone at the square, physically and mentally. The minds of the Green Moon City cultivators were greatly weakened. Lu Qianhuan didn’t care about the price he might have to pay, he just wanted to avenge the chubby man who grew up with him.

Every single one of Green Moon City’s elders and patriarchs willingly bowed to Lu Qianhuan, the cultivation mismatch eliminated their will, the slim chance they had to retaliate.

After making sure everyone was quiet and obedient, the skinny elder started his speech, “As you might have heard, the Lu’s are not in good terms with the Ye family at the moment. I know Ye Wei is protected by the Runemaster Union, that’s why I don’t wish to harm him, I just need him captured.”

The patriarchs were looking at each other, confused. They all wondered if Lu Qianhuan had gone insane.

“Please, keep in mind that he did commit murder.” Lu Qianhuan could sense the tension, tried his best to cover his rage. “My brother deserves justice as much as Ye Wei deserves protection.”

“If you don’t cooperate I will make sure all of you get punished for conspiring together with the Ye’s” Lu Qianhuan said slowly, staring at Gu Qing and Xiao Qingyun.

The City Lord and the principal then shared a look. Subconsciously, they both understood it was better to agree than to retaliate.

“So be it. People! You heard what elder Lu said.” Xiao Qingyun pretended he was still mind controlled by the elder, turned to the martial families’ leaders.

Seeing that the principal and the City Lord had softened up, Lu Qianhuan grunted scornfully. “The Lu family respects and appreciates, we will reward him or her who locates Ye Wei with ten million silver, three four-star Myst grade mystic arms and ten Myst grade scrolls!”

The news of Master Yi’s returned prime Warrior friend had already spread amongst the martial families before Lu Qianhuan called for the meeting, although nearly all the guests were mesmerize, they could feel that something was not right, that the orders they heard were not beneficial to them in anyway.

“Three days,that’s how long you have! If Ye Wei isn’t delivered here by then, I cannot guarantee your safety.” Lu Qianhuan chuckled, “I’ve heard reports of demons and wild beasts sighting around the area, maybe they will decided to raid the city, who knows?”

Gu Qing and Xiao Qingyun knew exactly what the elder was implying, they widened their eyes, silently protesting against the ludicrous ultimatum. The two strongest men in Green Moon City wanted to unite the people in the square to stand up against tyranny, but had no way of doing so.

A belt of light in the sky and a shrill sound snapped the guests out of confusion, a small dark figure blinked within the bright arc.

“Lu Qianhuan, don’t waste your time terrorizing my home town, I am right here.” The young Runemaster appeared in the air, in the center of the square. “What are you going to do?”

“You!” Lu Qianhuan’s eyes lit up, his smile turned sinister, “You are not on the guest list but I am glad to see you!”

The elder’s bloodthirsty gaze landed on Ye Wei like darks.

“Take him down!” Lu Qianhuan grunted.

Eighteen of the Lu’s ten-star condensed prime Warriors and over fifty other weaker condensed prime Warriors flew upwards to Ye Wei like a swarm of locusts.

“Why would you walk yourself into a dead end to die!?” Lu De, the ten-star Warrior who previously met the young Runemaster was one of the first Lu’s to recognize the intruder, his lips curled up to make an evil smile, “You are seriously outnumbered!”
