Chapter 187 - An Obvious Trap? Who Will Come Out On Top! (1/2)
A sly expression covered the entirety of Luo Ying’s pretty face. The previous campaign into the Min Province had been a project under her responsibility.
She had failed and even lost one of the Luo family’s heirs in the process.
Although she managed to escape with her life in the end, the high-level members of the Luo family still held her accountable, and the bright future she had was now no more.
Since then, Luo Ying had fostered a deep-seated hatred for Lu Xuan. Still, she knew that Lu Xuan’s immense strength was not something she could hope to catch up to, no matter what she tried.
She was relatively talented and was very close to reaching the Divine Level.
Even so, Lu Xuan had reached the Divine Level several months ago, so taking revenge on her own was definitely not an option for her.
Therefore, she needed to rely on her family’s strength to have a chance at getting her revenge.
“You seem to have some understanding of him?” Luo Zihong looked towards Luo Ying. She had not made much of an impression on him, but right now, he had no way of dealing with Lu Xuan, and if Luo Ying was able to come up with a plan, that was enough for him to take notice of her.
“I, your granddaughter, once suffered greatly at his hands, and so I devoted myself to studying him, gaining a deep understanding of his character. The man has a strange sense of pride, disdaining conspiracies and tricks, while at the same time, he is ruthless and definitely does not show compassion to lesser opponents!” Luo Ying bowed as she explained. “According to my research, any faction that crossed him has eventually met an unfortunate end. The Soul-snatcher Sect and Qiu family were all completely uprooted by him.
“This man is not the kind of person who will be satisfied and stop after killing a handful of people. Hence, I believe that if our family makes a show of hosting a celebration, Lu Xuan will not let us get away with it so easily. The probability that he will show up is above 90%. When the time comes, we can set a trap for him at the event, and then it would be hard for him to get away even if he grew wings!”
Listening to Luo Ying’s plan, Luo Zihong’s eyes narrowed as he said, “Can you be 100% sure!”
Luo Ying answered, “Replying to the Great Ancestor, your granddaughter is not 100% certain that this will work. However, the Great Ancestor has finished cultivation and broken through to the Invincible Vajra level. This, by itself, is a matter that deserves a grand celebration. Even if he does not come, there is no loss to the Great Ancestor. But if he does come, it’s a perfect opportunity for us to slay this bane of our Luo family. Wouldn’t celebrating the Great Ancestor’s achievements with the head of this savage be like having one’s cake and eating it too?”
Luo Zihong squinted again, and gave the order like a vicious wild beast, “You’re in charge of all the arrangements for this!”
Luo Ying was instantly taken aback, and her pretty face showed signs of excitement as she said, “Thank you very much, Great Ancestor, for trusting me. I will make sure the preparations for this are perfect. If he does not come, then it’s fine, but if he does come, he will definitely meet a tragic end!”
Many of the high-level members of the Luo family were looking at Luo Ying with very complicated expressions, as they felt how truly fearsome the younger generation was. They had thought she was already ground into the dust from her failures and never expected her to make a comeback like this.
On this day, the Luo family announced to the outside world that the Luo family Great Ancestor had ended his cultivation and was already an Invincible Vajra Level master, and invited people from all industries to come to Zhe Province and attend the celebrations.
In that time, the world of Cultivators was in an uproar. It should be known that although there was more than one Invincible Vajra Level master in the world now, there were still very few of them showing themselves in the public eye.
Aside from the Dragon, which everyone knew about, the other Invincible Vajra Level masters still kept a very low profile.
When the Luo family Great Ancestor announced that he was an Invincible Vajra Level master, it boosted the Luo family’s prestige even more.
For a time, all of the Luo family’s business deals in every region were green-lit, and the Luo family’s stock prices rose accordingly.
The benefits brought about from having an Invincible Vajra Level master were simply too numerous, as, at this current point in time, there was no answer to a master at the Invincible Vajra level of strength.
The White Ape King alone caused tens of thousands of deaths, and was like a walking nuclear bomb!
In this period, various major factions sent men to Zhe Province, and there were even many faction leaders who decided to come in person.
