Chapter 187 - An Obvious Trap? Who Will Come Out On Top! (2/2)

In a small pavilion in the Yunxuan Villa, Lu Xuan caressed the gilded invitation in his hands.

The invitation was sent out by the Luo family, and they had invited Lu Xuan to attend the Luo family Great Ancestor’s promotion ceremony.

Opposite him, Yang Chengsi held a similar invitation in his hands that was also from the Luo family. As the leader of the underworld in Min Province, Yang Chengsi was also considered to be a man of influence.

Moreover, thanks to Lu Xuan’s guidance, his own cultivation had not declined. On the contrary, he had broken through to the Invincible Vajra Level a while ago as well.

His current position could be said to be as sturdy as a mountain. Unless Lu Xuan personally moved to remove him, otherwise, there was basically nobody who could make a move against him.

Yang Chengsi had some idea about the bad blood between Lu Xuan and the Luo family, so he hurriedly made his way to the Yunxuan Villa to meet Lu Xuan the moment he received the invitation.

“Young Master, the Luo family is clearly doing this to provoke you!”

Yang Chengsi spoke in a reverent and respectful manner. Even though he was an Invincible Vajra Level himself, he did not dare to overstep his bounds in the slightest before Lu Xuan. It was not only because his life and possessions were firmly in Lu Xuan’s grasp, but more so because the unknowable depths of Lu Xuan’s cultivation still gave him chills to this day.

Lu Xuan laughed lightly, saying, “They’re not trying to provoke me. This is a psychological tactic to incite me to leave the Yunxuan Villa and go to them!”

Taking this opportunity, Lu Xuan relayed the story of Luo Zihong’s raid on the villa to Yang Chengsi, so he knew that such a thing had actually happened.

“You are wise, Young Master, and this indeed seems to be the case. They must have been stymied by the grand defensive formation, and so decided to lure the Young Master out of it!”

With some thinking, Yang Chengsi also realized what the Luo family was up to.

Lu Xuan also understood that this conspiracy by the Luo family was not some brilliant ploy. They were just making use of his desire to wholly eliminate the Luo family to lure him to go to them.

“Young Master, you must not fall for their trap!” Yang Chengsi advised.

“Since we already know the enemy is plotting something, it’s all the more reason for us not to go!”

Lu Xuan shook his head as he replied, “No, they are certain that I will be there, and are bound to have set up a huge trap for me. However, this is an excellent opportunity for me to get all the Luo family members in one fell swoop!

“I want to wipe the Luo family off the face of this earth!”

Lu Xuan’s expression was one of unparalleled conviction. Whether it was because of the tribulations they put him through in his past life, or to protect his family from the threat they posed in this life, he had no intention of letting the Luo family run free any longer.

Watching Lu Xuan, Yang Chengsi could not understand why Lu Xuan would make such a decision. He obviously knew there was a trap waiting for him, yet he actually still chose to attend the event. Was he not walking straight into their trap?

“Rather than giving them a chance to sneakily launch an attack on me in the future when I’m unprepared, it’s better to finish this now in the open. What can they do to me?” Lu Xuan smirked. “Their so-called inescapable trap is nothing more than what they can arrange with their current strength. However, they’re still underestimating my abilities way too much. I have many ways of beating them until they weep!

“I want you to first go and collect the information on all the main members of the Luo family. On the day itself, I want you to be outside, waiting, so that not a single one of them can slip away!” Lu Xuan said as he pursed his lips.

Since they wanted to settle things once and for all, it was time to see whose methods would come out on top.
