"Fellow Daoist, who are you?" The stalemate was quickly broken by Wang Zhou.

Wang Zhou was able to develop the Wang Family from a small clan to the current overlord of Lin Prefecture City. The depth of his foresight could be imagined. When Yue Hua suddenly appeared, he was already sure that Yue Hua would be around Lu Chen without them noticing. His cultivation was at least the same as theirs, so he wanted to see if he could get Yue Hua to leave and not interfere with his and the Lu Family's business.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that woman saying that my younger brother is trash. Although I have never killed women before, I will make an exception today." Yue Hua said with a cold glint in her eyes.

Hearing Yue Hua's words, Lu Chen's heart warmed. Actually, he did not tell Yue Hua that he had always regarded the title of 'trash' as a burden, but Yue Hua still sensed Lu Chen's disgust towards the title of 'trash' and remembered it in her heart. "Big brother, this is between me and the Wang family, I hope you won't interfere." Lu Chen said solemnly. Although Lu Chen knew that if Yue Hua had interfered and helped him, the destruction of the Wang Family would have happened in the blink of an eye, Lu Chen did not want it. He wanted to personally settle the grudge between the Lu family and the Wang family and also prove to the people of Lin Zhou that his third young master was not trash.

Seeing Lu Chen speak so seriously to him, Yue Hua guessed for the first time that Lu Chen was thinking of settling the grudge with the Wang Family by himself. Although she was still a little worried for Lu Chen, she still said with a smile, "Since you've already said so, how can I refuse? You can feel at ease and settle your grudge with them."

Lu Chen gave Yue Hua a grateful look and said, "Thank you."

On the other side, the Wang Family members let down their guard after hearing Yue Hua say that they wouldn't interfere with most of their worries. However, Wang Zhou remained vigilant because he knew that Lu Chen was still giving up on Yue Hua when he knew that he was no match for Lu Chen.

Yue Hua saw that the tension had increased to a few points. She knew that if she were to continue to stand here, the Wang family would refrain from firing at her. She smiled and flew out of the battle to show that she really wouldn't interfere.

The Wang family's people let out sighs of relief as they saw Yue Hua fly out of the battle. After all, if Yue Hua was still by Lu Chen's side, they would inevitably be worried. Wang Xueli coldly looked at Lu Chen and said: "Lu Chen, today you can rest in peace to accompany that trash of a father." Although Wang Xueli's cultivation talent was not very high, with the help of the Wang family's various resources, she had also reached the early Foundation Establishment stage. Although her cultivation was the lowest amongst these people, she could be said to be the true ruler of the Wang family.

"Wang Xue Lian, I am here to speak to you on behalf of the Patriarch of the Lu family. Don't tell me you are already the Patriarch of the Wang family? "Seems like it's been too long since I left Linzhou City. I don't even know about such a huge matter." Lu Chen said calmly.

"Lu Chen, don't provoke him. The Patriarch of the Wang Family is still my father." Wang Xueli said with a gloomy expression.

"Is that so?" Lu Chen said with a faint smile, but it was clear from the expression on his face that he did not believe it.

Wang Zhou was not happy when he first saw Lu Chen's words. Adding to what Lu Chen had said, a large portion of the Wang Family's business was already under the control of Wang Xue Lian and Wang Feng, moreover, ever since Wang Lei died, Wang Xue Lian and Wang Feng had started to view him with less and less importance. It wasn't that he didn't know Wang Feng and Wang Xue Lian's ambition, but hearing Lu Chen's words today made him feel that they were very harsh.

When Wang Xueli saw the ugly expression on Wang Zhou's face, she hurriedly said: "Great Elder, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you killing Lu Chen yet?"

The Wang Family's Grand Elder, Wang Yan, and the Wang Family's honorary elder, Xiang Jun, looked at each other before attacking Lu Chen, while the other Foundation Establishment stage disciples surrounded them from afar to prevent Lu Chen from escaping. After all, they could not interfere in an Aurous Core stage battle.

And Wang Zhou's face turned even more unsightly when he first saw that Wang Yan had listened to Wang Xuelan's words and planned in his heart how to get rid of Wang Xuelan and Wang Feng after getting rid of Lu Chen.

"Good job." Lu Chen watched as Wang Yan and Xiang Jun approached him, a glint in his eyes, "Flame Palm." Lu Chen breathed out as his hands were wrapped in flames. Now that Lu Chen was already in the Aurous Core stage, the flames he could cast were also the Earth Core flames that could affect Aurous Core stage cultivators.

Lu Chen directly faced Wang Yan, who was in front of him. At the same time, he said in a low voice, "Flame Dragon!" He released the Flame Dragon and controlled it to fly towards Xiang Jun to engage in battle with him.

Feeling the temperature released by Lu Chen's hands, Wang Yan was shocked, but in his heart, he did not place Lu Chen's attack in his eyes. To him, Lu Chen was only at the early Jindan Stage, and he believed that Lu Chen definitely lacked practical experience, so he did not place Lu Chen in his eyes at all.

Without avoiding or evading, Wang Yan directly sent a palm strike towards Lu Chen's' Flame Palm '.

"Ah!" Wang Yan let out a painful cry, trembling as he retreated with his burned hands.

"Grand Elder, how are you?" Wang Zhou asked first.

At this time, Wang Yan was already in so much pain that he couldn't speak. Wang Zhou first looked at himself and felt a deep hatred for Wang Xuelan and Wang Feng in his heart.

Seeing that Wang Yan was temporarily unable to do anything, Lu Chen placed all his attention on Xiang Jun. Xiang Jun was different from Wang Yan. Xiang Jun was originally a mercenary, so his abilities were obtained through hard work. Furthermore, his cultivation was higher than Wang Yan's as well. Therefore, Lu Chen was very wary of him.

"Searing Flame Slash." Xiang Jun brandished his magic tool, the Rage Blade, and chopped towards Lu Chen.

After all, he was an Aurous Core stage cultivator. Therefore, the blade of Lord Xiang slashed towards Lu Chen with the power of the heavens and earth.

Lu Chen immediately felt his surroundings being locked down. Right now, he wasn't facing a single person, but rather a single world. This was different from when he was sparring with Yue Hua. He didn't feel this kind of aura back then.

Lu Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down and imagine that this was the same as what he had learned in the past: "[Ardent Dragon Slash]." Lu Chen took out his high-grade spirit weapon, the Refined Jade Sword, and used the fifth form of the Flame Mantra, the "Intense Dragon Slash".

After all, Lu Chen's cultivation was only at the early Aurous Core stage and because he had been busy training and cultivating, he planned to refine his own magical equipment. However, before he could refine it, he met with an incident in the Lu family, so he hurriedly returned.

BOOM! A loud sound resounded in the King's Manor, and in the clash between Lu Chen and Xiang Jun, a huge pit appeared in the mansion.

"Pfft." Lu Chen was sent flying to the ground.

"Brother Chen." Yue Hua was so worried that she wanted to step forward.

"Big brother, I'm fine." Lu Chen struggled to get up, but a tiny crack had already appeared on the Jade Refining Sword.

"Xiang Jun, I think you're a genius. Why do you always have to work for the Wang family?" Lu Chen asked quietly instead of continuing to attack Xiang Jun.

Xiang Jun ignored Lu Chen's question and continued chopping down at him.

When Lu Chen saw that Xiang Jun's words indicated his feelings for the Wang Family, he let out a soft sigh. He could only drag his heavily injured body to meet Xiang Jun's.

Yue Hua frowned as she looked at Lu Chen, who was grappling with Xiang Jun, and knew that at this rate, Lu Chen would definitely be dragged down. She couldn't help but want to help Lu Chen, but she held back when she thought of Lu Chen's attitude. "If Brother Chen has anything." Yue Hua thought coldly.

Lu Chen had no way of going head to head with Xiang Jun anymore, so he continuously used Ghost Steps to dodge Xiang Jun's attacks while hoping to find Xiang Jun's weakness and deal with it in one strike.

Xiangjun couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw Lu Chen constantly running around. He wasn't a patient person in the first place, and now that he saw Lu Chen running here and there, he felt even more frustrated, wishing he could get rid of Lu Chen as soon as possible. "Furious Cloud Slash." Xiang Jun immediately used his deathblow towards Lu Chen.

When Lu Chen saw that Xiang Jun had used her most powerful killing move and knew that her defense was at its lowest, Lu Chen decided to stop dodging her Raging Cloud Slash and instead fly towards her. Even Lu Chen, who was right in front of him, did not dodge or evade. Instead, he met it head on.

"Pfft." Lu Chen spat out another mouthful of blood, the sword in his chest leaving a deep hole. Meanwhile, Lu Chen had also stabbed Xiang Jun in the abdomen.

"Brother Chen." Yue Hua directly flew to Lu Chen's side to help him up.

"Big brother, I'm fine." Lu Chen forced out a smile. Although switching wounds might seem like a stupid idea, it was still useful, so Lu Chen wasn't afraid of doing it.

As for Xiang Jun, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes as he looked at Lu Chen, who was being supported by Yue Hua. As for Xiang Jun, she looked at Lu Chen, who was being supported by Yue Hua, with a trace of fear in her eyes.

"Xiangjun, right?" Yue Hua coldly looked at Xiang Jun, wanting to kill him.

"Big brother, I said that this is my family's matter and I want to resolve it myself." Lu Chen said with great difficulty.

Yue Hua sighed upon seeing Lu Chen like this: "You know I can solve this, so why the trouble. Fine, I'll do as you say." After saying that, Yue Hua brought Lu Chen and teleported back to the Lu family.

"Instantaneous teleportation! That's a Nascent Soul Cultivator!" Wang Zhou was surprised. He had always thought that Yue Hua was at the same level as him, but he didn't expect her to be a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

"The Patriarch is in trouble." Before Wang Zhou could recover from his shock, he saw the guard that went with Wang Feng run back and said, "Patriarch Wang Feng was killed."

"What?" Upon hearing that, Wang Xueli immediately fainted.

And because Wang Zhou had learned from the guards that Yue Hua was terrifying, he didn't have the time to attack the Lu Family. He could only think of a way to resolve this matter with the Lu Family.

On the other side, Yue Hua brought Lu Chen back to the Lu family and told the Lu family about what happened. Immediately, the Lu family was greatly shocked, and Lu Quan's display of decisiveness immediately ordered them to investigate whether the Lu family still had members of the Wang family who had changed their appearances to become members of the Lu family. Yue Hua did not care about Lu Quan's arrangements, because he knew what Lu Quan did to uncover the Lu family's insider. Meanwhile, he had brought Lu Chen into the house to treat Lu Chen's injuries.

"Ai, Junior Brother Chen, you are always so stubborn, but in the end, you are always riddled with scars." Yue Hua sighed.
