Long Boming's words silenced the crowd.
The spectating warriors were stunned, and so were the experts standing in the air. Lin Zeyu was stunned, and so was Lu Xuan. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Ying at this moment.
To the elders of the Jiuhua Alliance, there was no one else in the world who could be called the Alliance Leader. As for the Alliance Leader's wife, there was no one else but the Alliance Leader's wife.
Zhao Ying flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Long Boming! What nonsense are you spouting? "
Long Boming took a deep breath. He knew that what he said would definitely annoy Zhao Ying. What happened 20 years ago was still fresh in his memory. It was precisely because of that incident that Zhao Ying threatened to cut off contact with Ye Wuhen until death.
However, if he didn't reveal Zhao Ying's true identity to Lin Zeyu, Lin Zeyu wouldn't bow his head. Lin Zeyu thought he had a powerful backer and was arrogant. Only when he realized that his so-called backer was nothing in front of Zhao Ying would he come to his senses.
"Madam, for the sake of the Alliance Leader, please spare Zeyu this time. After all, he is the brother of the Alliance Leader's adopted son. Otherwise, I'm afraid the Alliance Leader will be in a difficult position." Long Boming bowed deeply to Zhao Ying. As a middleman, this was all he could do.
Zhao Ying snorted coldly. "For his sake? Why should I do it for his sake? What does his adopted son have to do with me? "
Lin Zeyu came to a sudden realization. No wonder Zhao Ying dared to slap him so unscrupulously. After he told the Alliance Leader about this, not only did the Alliance Leader not do anything to the Profound Ice Pavilion, she even grounded him for a year. No wonder even though Long Boming was here, he didn't dare to be rude to Zhao Ying and Lu Xuan.
It turned out that he was close to the Alliance Leader's adopted son, and Lu Xuan was the Alliance Leader's wife! At this moment, his heart was like dead ashes. The background that he was so proud of was nothing in front of Lu Xuan. To think that he had bragged about his powerful background in front of Lu Xuan.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and admit your mistake. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you." Long Boming's voice fell into Lin Zeyu's ears.
It was as if Lin Zeyu had suddenly seen a ray of light, and an idea flashed in his mind. Ignoring the sharp pain in his left shoulder and the root of his ear, he knelt on the ground in front of everyone.
Just when everyone was wondering what Lin Zeyu was going to do, they heard him suddenly shout, "Mother!"
Hearing this word, Long Boming couldn't help but tremble. This is bad! Lin Zeyu was courting death! Even if he wanted to beg for mercy, there was no need to cling onto him like this, right?
Zhao Ying glared at Lin Zeyu, gritted her teeth and said, "What are you shouting for?!"
Lin Zeyu didn't notice that Zhao Ying's attitude was a little off. He thought that he had been saved by a flash of inspiration at this critical moment. He hurriedly moved two steps forward and came to Zhao Ying's side, saying, "I'm calling mother. Mother, since you are the Alliance Leader's wife, and my brother is the Alliance Leader's adopted son, then I should naturally call you mother. Mother, I was wrong, please mother forgive …"
Before Lin Zeyu could finish his words, he saw a flash of sword light. Just when he was wondering where it came from, he saw a headless corpse. But why did that corpse look so much like him?
This was the last thought that Lin Zeyu had in his life.
Zhao Ying slanted her sword, and traces of blood continuously flowed down the blade. She coldly said, "In this world, except for one person, no one has the right to call me that."
Looking at Lin Zeyu's headless corpse falling to the ground, Long Boming couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long sigh. He had really tried his best. He shook his head and thought to himself, Lin Zeyu could have said anything, but he just had to touch Zhao Ying's reverse scale. He was already quite impressed that he dared to call her Madam, but he didn't expect Lin Zeyu to be even more powerful than him.
When Zhao Ying's anger subsided, Long Boming looked at Zhao Ying and said, "Madam, this is going to be troublesome. Lin Zeyu is after all the Young Alliance Leader's younger brother, if he comes looking for trouble …"
"I killed him, you can ask him to come find me." Zhao Ying said coldly.
"Of course the Young Alliance Leader wouldn't dare to look for trouble with you, but I'm afraid your disciple will be in danger." As he spoke, Long Boming looked at Lu Xuan.
However, with this look, he was a little stunned. Although he had seen Lu Xuan before, he didn't have any other thoughts. After Lin Zeyu caused such a scene, when he looked at Lu Xuan again, he couldn't help but have a strange thought.
Immediately, he thought, Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan, Xuan? Could it be …
"Madam, could Lu Xuan be …" Long Boming asked Zhao Ying tentatively.
Zhao Ying only heard half of the sentence, but she already knew what Long Boming wanted to ask. It wasn't just Long Boming, even Hua Yuling had the same misunderstanding back then. She shook her head and said, "No, he just looks like him."
"So that's how it is." Long Boming felt rather regretful. If Lu Xuan really was the son of the Alliance Master and Zhao Ying, then the grudge between the two of them would have been eliminated and they could have reconciled. However, that was just a thought. That woman from the Holy Temple of Eight Directions had even brought her corpse over, so there was no way she could have survived.
Though he thought this, he couldn't help but stare a little longer. They looked like each other. The more he looked, the more he looked.
Lu Xuan was puzzled by his stare. Why was he looking at him? Was he trying to remember what he looked like so he could avenge Lin Zeyu?
Long Boming didn't have such thoughts. If Lin Zeyu was dead, then so be it. He was useless to the Alliance anyway. He only wanted to protect Lin Zeyu because of his brother.
"Lord Shen, please prepare a coffin for Zeyu's body," Long Boming said to Shen Rong.
Shen Rong was slightly taken aback. Only then did he come back to his senses. He hurriedly ordered people to prepare. He was also shocked by how Long Boming addressed her as Madam Alliance Master. Before this, he had no idea that Zhao Ying actually had such an identity.
Shen Rong wasn't the only one who was surprised. Even the crowd of cultivators gathered below the arena were secretly amazed. They didn't expect young hero Lu's master to have such a powerful background. No wonder he dared to disregard the Elders of the Jiuhua Alliance. However, they didn't know that Lu Xuan was the same as them. He only found out now that he had ignored Long Boming's attempts to stop him. He was determined to kill Lin Zeyu.
Looking at Lin Zeyu's broken body, Lu Xuan looked up at the sky. In his heart, he said, "Elder Xu, Peng Xu, Wind Sword School's law enforcers, did you see this? Today, I, Lu Xuan, have avenged you."
The crowd gradually dispersed. Long Boming also left with Lin Zeyu's body. Zhao Ying walked over to Lu Xuan, looking at him in a daze. Her voice was flat. "Let's go."
Lu Xuan came back to his senses and followed behind Zhao Ying. He wanted to ask Zhao Ying about the Alliance Leader's wife, but since his master had kept it a secret for so long, and with her attitude just now, he knew she didn't like it. He didn't want to ask. His master was his master. What did it matter if she was the Alliance Leader's wife or not?
"Master, I want to go out and gain some experience." It was only then that he remembered his original purpose. It was only after he met Lin Zeyu that he was confused by this matter.
"Experience?" Zhao Ying was confused. "Are you worried about the Alliance's revenge? Don't worry, I'm here. No one will touch you. Besides, I killed Lin Zeyu. It has nothing to do with you. "
Although Zhao Ying's words were calm, Lu Xuan could hear the love and concern in her voice. His heart warmed. "Master, you misunderstand. I'm not worried about the Jiuhua Alliance. It's just that I found an orb in the Inferno Lion's body. It's imbued with the power of the soul. I want to get more to improve my strength."
Lu Xuan told Zhao Ying everything he'd discovered. He wouldn't tell anyone else, but he didn't need to hide anything from Zhao Ying.
"No soul? Maybe it's controlled by a soul orb? " Zhao Ying frowned. "I'll remember this. If it's useful, I'll report it. But now that the Beast Tide is coming, where are you going to train?"
"I'm going to the Hundred Thousand Mountains." Lu Xuan's eyes were filled with determination. If the Beast Tide was coming from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, then many of the monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains must have been controlled, perhaps all of them. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for so many monsters to attack at the same time.
"Hundred Thousand Mountains?" Zhao Ying was shocked. "The Hundred Thousand Mountains is extremely dangerous. You're only at the seventh level of the Origin Realm. How are you going to go? It's too risky. "
Lu Xuan revealed a smile. "Master, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Master should know my strength by now. In fact, when I was dealing with the Flaming Lion, I didn't use all my trump cards. If I really meet a strong demonic beast, even if I can't defeat it, I can still protect myself."
Looking at Lu Xuan's determined eyes, Zhao Ying had no choice but to nod and say, "Since this is your decision, I won't interfere. Don't take too many risks. Safety first. It's best to bring Little Tanuki with you. Although it's not too strong, it can help you in many ways."
Lu Xuan understood that Zhao Ying was talking about Little Tanuki's ability to escape. With the Void Traversal talent, Little Tanuki could be of great help. What's more, this little guy had a lively personality. If it knew that Lu Xuan was going to train, it would definitely make a fuss.
Subsequently, Lu Xuan didn't follow Zhao Ying to the city lord's residence. Instead, he returned to the Mystic Ice Pavilion's encampment and gathered everyone.
"Lu Xuan, I heard that you killed Lin Zeyu?" Lin Xinyi asked Lu Xuan as soon as she entered. In just a short period of time, they all knew about the incident.
"I didn't kill him. It was Master." Lu Xuan shook his head.
"That's the same. This time, I have finally avenged Elder Xu and the others." Lin Xinyi said happily.
"My brother can be at ease now." Zhang Dongshuang added. Peng Xu died to save them and she had been blaming herself for it. Now that the mastermind, Lin Zeyu, was dead, she was relieved.
