Lu Ming sat upright in his seat and accepted the bow calmly.
He glanced at them and sneered, "I'm your Young Master? Your master should be Lu Yunxiong, right? "
The faces of the five branch leaders paled, and one of them said, "Young Lord, you've misunderstood. That day, the force Lu Yunxiong brought with him was too strong. If we resisted, we would have been annihilated. If that happened, the Lu Family would be finished!"
"Yes, Young Master. We surrendered to Lu Yunxiong only as a temporary measure. We wanted to preserve our lives and wait for your return."
"Oh? Is that so? "
Lu Ming looked at them with a faint smile. He did not speak, but picked up his teacup and drank slowly.
The five branch leaders looked at each other. They did not know what Lu Ming was thinking and felt uneasy.
"At that time, the Mystic Essence Sword Sect had already informed them of my death, right? Waiting for my return? Did they already know that I was not dead? "
Lu Ming asked calmly.
The five of them began to sweat and looked at each other. Then, they braced themselves and said, "Young Master, you are a genius. How could you die so easily? We already guessed that you were not dead. That's why we decided to take advantage of you."
"Oh? I see. You are all very resourceful. You can even tell someone's fortune! "
Lu Ming said calmly and continued to drink his tea.
The five branch leaders' faces turned red, but they could only grit their teeth and keep quiet.
The atmosphere seemed to have frozen. Lu Ming drank his tea. The three core elders and Li Ping did not speak. The five branch leaders could only stand there and did not dare to make a sound.
The current Lu Ming was no longer the useless young master from back then. His combat power was unparalleled and his cultivation had reached an incredible level. Killing them was easier than killing an ant. Unknowingly, he had formed a very powerful aura.
They did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of Lu Ming.
"Lu Yunxiong has been killed by me!"
Suddenly, Lu Ming's voice sounded.
"What?"
Not only were the five branch masters shocked, but even the three core elders were shocked.
"I've already killed Lu Yunxiong in the White Tiger Hall. Therefore, don't think that you're lucky. This is the fate of those who betray the Lu Clan."
Lu Ming said coldly.
Hiss …
Everyone gasped.
Lu Ming had actually killed Lu Yunxiong in the White Tiger Courtyard and still managed to return alive. Just how capable was he?
It was already hard for them to imagine.
At the same time, the five branch leaders were terrified. They looked at each other and actually knelt down together, saying, "Young Lord, we were really foolish that day. Please forgive us, Young Lord. We will wholeheartedly assist Young Lord in reviving the Lu Family. If we disobey, we will die a horrible death!"
"Why can't I believe it?"
Lu Ming looked at the five branch masters with a faint smile.
The cold sweat on the faces of the five branch masters became denser and dripped down continuously.
"How about this, all of you swear an oath on your inner demons, and I'll believe you."
Lu Ming said indifferently.
"An oath on your inner demons!"
The five branch masters' faces changed drastically.
An oath on one's inner demons was to swear to one's own heart, using one's blood essence as a stepping stone.
Once a martial artist made an oath on his inner demons and went against it in the future, it would be easy for the inner demons to flare up during cultivation, resulting in qi deviation and death.
"Why? If you don't want to make the oath, I won't feel at ease leaving you here. "
Lu Ming's voice turned cold.
The five branch masters' faces changed drastically, and they quickly said, "Yes, we'll make the oath!"
Then, the five of them swore an oath on their inner demons.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "In the future, you will know that you made the right choice. Now, you may leave!"
The five branch masters quickly excused themselves.
"Elders, the Lu Clan's strength has been greatly reduced after a series of twists and turns. However, quality is more important than quantity. I have some secret manuals here, take them and cultivate!"
Lu Ming's phone lit up, and a stack of books appeared on the table.
"Secret manuals on cultivation and martial techniques?"
The three core elders were confused, and they each picked up a book and flipped through it.
As soon as they opened the book, their eyes widened in shock.
"High-grade yellow class martial techniques!"
"Mine is also a high-grade yellow class martial technique!"
"Mine too!"
The three core elders exclaimed in unison.
"Elders, here are five high-grade yellow class martial techniques and ten low-grade yellow class martial techniques. Take them and cultivate. You can also choose the best seedlings in the clan and teach them."
Lu Ming smiled.
"Five high-grade yellow class martial techniques and ten low-grade yellow class martial techniques?"
The three core elders sucked in a breath of cold air.
The Lu Clan only had one high-grade yellow class martial technique, and it was regarded as the clan's ultimate technique. Ordinary people were not qualified to cultivate it.
The Lu Clan did not have many low-grade yellow class martial techniques, only six or seven of them.
Now, Lu Ming actually took out so many secret manuals in one go. If the Lu Clan's disciples cultivated them, their strength would rise quickly.
"Thank you, Young Lord!"
The three core elders thanked Lu Ming, their bodies trembling with excitement.
"Elders, you don't have to thank me. Since I am the Young Lord of the Lu Clan, this is what I should do."
Lu Ming said.
In the Dongyi Clan's ruins, Lu Ming had obtained more than thirty yellow class martial technique manuals. These manuals were useless to him, so he could only sell them. It was better to keep them in the Lu Clan and increase their strength.
"There's more!"
Lu Ming's mind moved, and a few more jade bottles appeared on the table.
Inside these jade bottles were some medicinal pills.
Some could heal injuries, some could expel poison, and some could increase the cultivation of Martial Soldier or Martial Mentor.
They were all obtained by Lu Ming from the enemies he killed. They were useless to Lu Ming, but to most of the Lu Clan's Meridian Opening Realm and Martial Soldier Realm martial artists, they were of great use.
"Take these pills. As for how to divide them, you can decide!"
Lu Ming said.
"Young Lord, if you give them to the clan, what about yourself?"
One of the core elders asked.
"Take them. I have no use for them."
Lu Ming smiled.
"Good, good. We'll take them. We'll distribute them to the disciples who are loyal to the Lu Clan and increase the clan's strength."
Another core elder said excitedly.
The three of them carefully put away the pills.
Li Ping was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth when she saw Lu Ming take out so many treasures.
The three core elders bid farewell to Lu Ming. They were in a hurry to go back and discuss how to use these treasures to increase the Lu Clan's strength as soon as possible.
Lu Ming stayed in the Lu Clan for seven days.
After seven days, Lu Ming decided to bid farewell to Li Ping.
He couldn't hide in the Lu Clan forever. There were some things he had to face. Moreover, he had to investigate Lu Yuntian's whereabouts as soon as possible.
In the main residence's courtyard.
"Ming 'er, go out. Be careful!"
Li Ping didn't urge Lu Ming to stay. She only reminded Lu Ming to be careful.
A man's ambition was to travel far. Moreover, a genius like Lu Ming couldn't be trapped in one place. That would only bind him.
Li Ping knew this very well, so she didn't urge him to stay.
"Mother, don't worry. Ming 'er will be fine."
Lu Ming said.
Afterward, Lu Ming pondered and hesitated. After a while, he said, "Mom, Ming-er has something to tell you!"
