Ying Bailu didn't want to make a move. Chu Xiu stood proudly in front of the crowd, but no one made a sound.
Based on the strength Chu Xiu displayed just now, who would dare to court death?
Nie Dongliu was Chu Xiu's old rival. He had already lost to Chu Xiu last time, so he naturally wouldn't jump out and make trouble for himself.
If he didn't have absolute confidence, Nie Dongliu wouldn't fight Chu Xiu head-on.
As for Eastern Qi's Li Yuan, although he said he would teach Chu Xiu a lesson to avenge the Crown Prince, he wasn't an idiot. He knew his own strength and knew that he couldn't beat Chu Xiu one-on-one. It was more likely that he would cause trouble for Chu Xiu in secret.
So for a moment, the crowd was silent.
Chu Xiu turned his gaze to Luo Jiunian and said with a smile, "I say, Senior Luo, it looks like there's no one here who wants to participate. In that case, I'm the victor of this Joust for a Spouse Search Competition, right?"
Luo Jiunian looked at Ying Bailu, but the latter didn't seem to see him. He had no intention of making a move.
This time, Luo Jiunian finally understood. He could be considered a veteran, but this time, he was tricked by Ying Bailu.
No wonder when they contacted the Ying Enterprises, they didn't mention anything like an engagement. Instead, they insisted on holding a joust for a spouse.
As long as there was no engagement, the Ying Enterprises could advance or retreat as they pleased. But the Luo Family was trapped here.
Luo Jiunian looked at Chu Xiu and frowned. "Chu Xiu, don't make trouble here. So what if you win this round? Don't think I don't know the relationship between you two. You are just good friends. Are you really going to marry Luo Feihong? "
Chu Xiu spread his hands and said, "Who says that good friends can't marry? She treats me as a good friend, but now I want to treat Feihong as my lover. Can't I? We are all young people. Isn't it normal to fall in love with each other? Or do you think that I, Chu Xiu, am not worthy of your Luo Family, or are you going to go back on your words? "
Chu Xiu's series of rhetorical questions were reasonable, but Luo Jiunian waved his hand and snorted coldly, "Chu Xiu, you're just making trouble! This matter does not count. The joust for a spouse is temporarily suspended. "
Everyone present could see that Luo Jiunian was acting shamelessly.
It was just a family. Even if a Martial Dao Grand Master went back on his word, what could you do to him? Could he forcefully take Luo Fei-hung away?
However, at this moment, Luo Fei-hung, who had been sitting quietly in the Luo Clan's side, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Luo Jiunian, do you really treat me as a commodity? You didn't sell me for a good price, so you're looking for an opportunity to sell me again?"
Luo Tianyang's face sank as he shouted, "How dare you! How dare you call the Ancestor by his name? Hurry up and apologize to the Ancestor! "
Luo Fei-hung sneered, "Apologize, Luo Tianyang. From the day you attacked me, I no longer have anything to do with the Luo Clan. From now on, you and I are strangers. As for this old fart, I'm giving him face by calling him by his name. The previous generation of the Luo Clan was still tolerable, but it was his generation that caused the Luo Clan to decline to this state. To think he still has the nerve to live. If it were me, I would've killed myself and gone back to apologize to my ancestors! "
One had to admit that Luo Fei-hung's mouth was really vicious. Luo Jiunian's face was as gloomy as water at this moment. He shouted in a low voice, "Break his legs and throw him into the ancestral hall to repent to his ancestors. The Luo Clan doesn't have such an unfilial disciple!"
However, at this moment, Luo Fei-hung's lips curled into a sneer, "Ancestral hall? I'm afraid from today onward, you won't throw any disciple into the ancestral hall to repent. "
As he spoke, Luo Fei-hung suddenly stretched out his left hand.
Previously, Luo Fei-hung was sitting there with his eyes closed. His left hand was also shrouded in the sleeve of his robe, so no one noticed it.
Only now did they realize that Luo Fei-hung's left hand was actually holding a transparent, amber ball that was stained with Luo Fei-hung's blood.
After absorbing Luo Fei-hung's blood, the ball was actually covered with blood vessels and looked a little evil.
Seeing the ball, the expressions of Luo Jiunian, Luo Tianyang, and some of the Luo Clan's elders changed.
Luo Jiunian shouted, "Why is the Ancestral Relic in your hands!?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned to look at the Ancestral Relic in Luo Fei-hung's hand. So this was the Luo Clan's legendary Ancestral Relic.
Each of the Nine Great Families had at least a few hundred years of heritage, so they naturally had some trump cards. The Luo Clan was naturally the same. Among them, the Luo Clan was most famous for this Ancestral Relic.
It was said that the Luo Clan's ancestor was once a monk. Of course, he was not a monk from the Great Light Temple or the Subodhi Monastery.
In the end, the Luo Clan's ancestor was a monk for more than ten years before he suddenly converted to Taoism and became a Taoist priest for more than ten years. Only then did he suddenly renounce asceticism, get married, have children, and establish the Luo Clan.
Therefore, the Luo Clan's cultivation method was very interesting. It could be considered to be a dual cultivation of Taoism and Buddhism, but the traces of each were not obvious.
This Ancestral Relic was formed from the Luo Clan's ancestor's cultivation when he passed away. He also used the formation techniques he learned in Taoism to set up a large formation that could attack, defend, and cultivate in the entire Luo Clan's mansion.
This large formation could be used for both attack and defense. Usually, it would condense a strong Qi of Heaven and Earth at a specific location for the Luo Clan's disciples to cultivate. It could be said to be an all-rounder.
The core of this large formation was this Ancestral Relic. It was usually enshrined in the Luo Clan's ancestral hall. No one expected it to fall into the hands of Luo Fei-hung.
Holding the Ancestral Relic, Luo Fei-hung smirked and said, "How did you get it? Have you forgotten who locked me up in the ancestral hall? "
Hearing this, Luo Jiunian and the other elders of the Luo Clan trembled with anger.
This was not because they were careless, but because they did not expect Luo Fei-hung to be so rebellious.
Things like the Ancestral Relic were guaranteed to be enshrined in the ancestral hall. After all, for a family, the ancestral hall was the place where they enshrined their ancestors. It was the absolute central area and the most sacred place.
If the Luo Clan was attacked by external enemies and the attack reached the ancestral hall, it would be a disaster that would destroy the entire clan. Therefore, the ancestral hall was the safest place for the Luo Clan.
Moreover, as a disciple of the Luo Clan, they should know what the Ancestral Relic represented. Who would dare to touch it? What Luo Fei-hung did was basically the same as digging up his own ancestral grave.
Luo Fei-hung sneered and played with the Ancestral Relic in his hand. He said coldly, "This thing is now in my hand and has been completely soaked in my blood. Moreover, you should know where this place is located in the entire Luo Clan's large formation. What do you think will happen if I crush the Ancestral Relic here? "
Luo Jiunian's expression suddenly changed. They were currently in the courtyard of the Luo Clan's front hall, which was also covered by the Luo Clan's large formation. This place was where the life gate of the Luo Clan's large formation was located.
Without the core of the formation, the Luo Clan's large formation would not be able to be activated. However, they could find something else to replace it in the future.
However, if Luo Feihong directly crushed the Ancestral Relic here, the Life Gate of the Formation would also be broken, and the entire Formation of the Luo Family would be destroyed. This was equivalent to destroying a life-saving trump card of the Luo Family.
"How dare you! If you dare to touch the Ancestral Relic, you will definitely not be able to take half a step out of the Luo Clan! "
Luo Jiunian gritted his teeth and spat out these words.
He really did not expect Luo Fei-hung to be so rebellious. She actually dared to use the Ancestral Relic to threaten him.
At this time, Chu Xiu and the others also stood up and stood beside Luo Fei-hung. Their attitude was obvious.
Previously, Luo Fei-hung had already told them the plan and asked them to help stall for time. Meanwhile, she would stay at the life gate of the large formation and use her blood to completely control the Ancestral Relic.
This thing was only a dead object. In theory, as long as a martial artist had the Luo Clan's bloodline, they could control it. If the Luo Clan's Patriarch could do it, then so could she.
Of course, after doing this, Luo Fei-hung would definitely break off relations with the Luo Clan. It might even escalate to the point where one of them would die. Moreover, Chu Xiu and the others could also be said to have offended the Luo Clan.
In the original plot, Luo Fei-hung only crippled Luo Feiyun and broke off relations with the Luo Clan. However, it could not be considered as a fight to the death.
However, this time, Luo Fei-hung played it big enough. He directly wanted to destroy the entire Luo Clan's foundation.
Luo Jiunian looked at Chu Xiu and the others standing beside Luo Fei-hung. He first said to Mo Yezi coldly, "Mo Yezi, you and I can be considered old friends. This is my Luo Clan's matter. Do you really want to get involved?"
Mo Yezi said indifferently, "Luo Jiunian, don't mess up our friendship. I have nothing to do with you. Your Luo Clan's previous leader, Luo Ximing, is a character who once helped me. That's why I agreed to refine a weapon for your Luo Clan. However, the Blood Spear Red Kite has already been refined. Naturally, our friendship is over. Now, you're trying to force the owner of the Blood Spear Red Kite to leave. Who do you think I should help?
Moreover, this time, your Luo Clan is too incompetent. You want to rely on marriage to extend the clan's future? Isn't that ridiculous?
I hit it off with Feihong. I have to intervene in this matter. "
Luo Jiunian turned his gaze to Chu Xiu and the others. They also had a fearless look on their faces.
Xie Xiaolou was backed by a fierce person like Chenqing Di. Moreover, the power behind him was in West Chu. To put it bluntly, without Luo Fei-hung, he didn't care about the Luo Clan at all. If Luo Jiunian wanted to demand an explanation from the Heaven Alliance, he would most likely be punched out by Chenqing Di.
Emperor Chen Qingdi had always been this domineering when it came to helping those close to him.
As for Chu Xiu, not to mention the fact that he was secretly a member of the Yinmo Clan and had a powerful backing, even on the surface, the Guanzhong Torture Room was far more powerful than the Luo Clan.
The only one who had some concerns was Mo Tianlin. However, for Mo Tianlin, since he had already made up his mind, he would at most resist this matter. Anyway, although the Mo Clan wasn't strong, they were still stronger than the Luo Clan.
