"You killed them, what do I need to explain?" Lu Xingkong was not forced by Chu Xun's words, looking indifferent as though everything was under his control.
"Lu Xingkong — — I must dig out your heart and lungs, see if your heart and lungs are black. Otherwise, how could you do such a vicious and cruel thing and say such heartless words …. You sacrificed the Lu Clan, causing hundreds of people to die under your blades, causing hundreds of people to lose their homes and become homeless …. Moreover, many of these people were your blood relatives …. "
"Lu Xingkong, don't you need to give them an explanation? Don't you need to give them an explanation? The victims of power, the heavy price they paid for your ambition — — is there no one to hold you accountable? "
"Spring ploughing and autumn bearing fruit, if the seeds are not planted in spring, how can there be a harvest in autumn? From today onwards, the Lu clan will completely get rid of the Song clan's control, as well as the suppression of other families — — the Lu clan will regain the glory of its ancestors and become the first family of the West Wind Kingdom. Can't such glory make up for the losses of the Lu clan? "
"What about those lives? What about the dead people? "
"Lives?" Lu Xingkong cast a complicated glance at Chu Xun. "In order to stay in power, the Chu clan has sacrificed a lot of lives? The Song clan lost the game this time, and almost the entire clan was slaughtered — — and the Cui clan, if not for Cui Xichen's decisiveness and willingness to destroy his cultivation base and remove the threat, most likely His Majesty would have sent an army to destroy the entire clan — — Which one of these people does not care about human life? "
"The weak are prey to the strong, this is an irrefutable truth since ancient times. If I didn't make such a choice, my Lu clan would be besieged by several families, and also have to contend against the Song clan — — how long can it last? How long can the people live in peace? When the building collapses, it will be the day the entire clan is slaughtered — — In that case, rather than being pushed down by you, I might as well push them down myself. At least, the initiative is still in my hands, and what I have paid, will eventually be taken back. What was taken away will eventually be taken back. I think, they will understand my difficulties. "
"What about the dragon? That little dragon — — can he understand? "
Lu Xingkong pondered for a long while, before he said, "He is a variable."
Indeed, Li Muyang was a variable.
All of these plans had been formulated and implemented decades ago. When the late Emperor was still the Crown Prince, the outline had already been completed. At that time, Li Muyang had not yet been born, and Lu Qingming and Gongsun Yu had not even officially married yet …
Step by step, meticulously planning year after year. How could it have been destroyed by an unintentional falling stone?
Li Muyang was born, Li Muyang was a dragon, Li Muyang came to Tiandu, Li Muyang recognized the Lu family... Every step could disrupt those plans, but they were pushed to the fixed track by Lu Xingkong and the late emperor again and again.
However, just as Chu Xun had asked, could he understand?
He had saved his clansmen from danger several times, escaped from death time and time again, and even came back to life. Among the entire Lu Clan, he was the one who suffered the most and was also the most tired. Everyone else had endured more hardships and hardships than him alone …
Could he face all of this calmly?
Was he willing to accept the... results of all this?
When he knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was his grandfather, would he still... regard himself as a member of the Lu clan, or would he still be willing to be a person?
Seeing Lu Xingkong's worried eyes, Chu Xun laughed and said, "Lu Xingkong, you're still afraid. What are you afraid of? You already want half of the Chu clan, what are you afraid of? Are you worried that you will be deserted? Are you worried that you will be left alone? Are you worried that even if you have half of the Lu clan, there is no way for your grandson to accept the truth? "
"What does the Lu clan's matter have to do with other people?" Lu Xingkong said coldly.
"Yes, yes, this is your family's matter, so you should deal with it yourself. However, if you miss this big show, it's really not good — — why don't you let your precious grandson come over, let him take his little lover back, and at the same time solve the Lu clan's matter — — I can also feast my eyes — — kill three birds with one stone. Lu Xingkong, what do you think? "
"I can't get in touch with him." Lu Xingkong said aloud, "We haven't been in contact."
"Isn't it hypocritical to say that?" Chu Xun laughed sinisterly. "It's understandable that we can't get in touch with him. You are Lu Xingkong, how can you not be able to get in touch with your grandson? Aren't the capable subordinates around Li Muyang the people you sent over? You don't even trust your own grandson and send people to monitor — — Don't tell me that even they don't know the whereabouts of their master? "
"That's the truth." Lu Xingkong said indifferently.
Chu Xun turned his face, looked at Cui Xiaoxin's pale little face, and said jokingly, "Miss Xiaoxin, it seems that the people of the Lu clan don't care about you, they don't care about your life or death at all — — What a pity, what a pity. Isn't it a particularly sad thing to love someone you don't love? "
"That's Xiaoxin's own choice, it has nothing to do with others." Cui Xiaoxin's pretty face was slightly tilted up. She could feel the tingling sensation of the sharp blade on her neck, and she also knew that as long as Chu Xun was careless, Xiaoxin would use the slightest bit of force, her neck would be broken and she would perish.
Moreover, with Chu Xun's deranged state at the moment, it was an extravagant hope for him to show mercy.
From the conversation between Lu Xingkong and Chu Xun just now, Cui Xiaoxin had obtained a lot of inside information.
In particular, the fact that her Grandfather Cui Xichen was willing to destroy his cultivation base in order to protect the old and young of the clan gave her a huge shock that she still hadn't fully recovered from.
What kind of disaster did the Cui clan encounter that Grandfather was willing to make such a big sacrifice?
At this moment, even her own family couldn't be counted on, so who would come to save her?
"It seems that you have accepted your fate. You're quite a wise woman. " Chu Xun looked at Cui Xiaoxin's expression of facing death calmly, and said with a gentle sigh, "If that's the case, then don't blame this King's sword for being ruthless … Cui Xiaoxin, I hope that in your next life … you don't love the wrong person."
The sword in Chu Xun's hand was instantly filled with black mist, and with a flash of sword light, it was about to behead Cui Xiaoxin.
"Don't …"
Chu Ning screamed loudly.
However, her voice could not stop Chu Xun's sword intent.
Cha …
A black beam of light flashed, Cui Xiaoxin's head … was still on Cui Xiaoxin's neck.
And Chu Xun's sword, which was shimmering with a thick black mist, had fallen into a hand. That hand was pale and slender, with strong and powerful joints. It had caught the sharp sword that had the power of thousands of kilograms, and held it firmly in the palm of his hand.
At the moment of life and death, it had saved Cui Xiaoxin's life.
It was a robe with wide sleeves, and his clothes were whiter than snow.
He was truly a handsome man. His facial features were exquisite, and there was not a single blemish. He had an elegant bearing, as though he was a wine immortal reborn, or an immortal descending into the world.
No, even the immortals in the heavens would feel ashamed of their inferiority when they saw him.
"Li Muyang …" A smile suffused across Chu Xun's lips. "I knew you would come … You are such an affectionate man, so how can you really disregard your lover's life? If I did not slash down with my sword, you probably wouldn't be willing to come out, right? "
"You wanted me to come, so I came." Li Muyang said with a deep voice. His gaze was fixed on Cui Xiaoxin's snow-white neck, which was constantly bleeding red blood. The red was so eye-catching that it made one's heart ache. "Now, can you let them go?"
"Of course." Chu Xun was straightforward and said, "I, Chu Xun, am not a person who likes to hold hands and destroy flowers. Since the main character is here, why should I make things difficult for these weak little girls …"
Chu Xun glanced at Cui Xiaoxin and said with a smile, "Cui Xiaoxin, you can go now."
"Xiaoxin …" Chu Ning rushed over and pulled Cui Xiaoxin out of the range of the long sword. She hugged her body tightly and choked with sobs, "Xiaoxin, you are not dead … Great, you are not dead …"
Cui Xiaoxin's expression was dull, and her eyes were fixed on Li Muyang who had just appeared.
"At the critical moment, this man rushed over to save me … He came, he came after all …"
* * *
Chu Xun raised the long sword in his hand, and half of the blade was still held in the palm of Li Muyang's hand.
Therefore, the distance between the two people was very close, maintaining an extremely dangerous posture.
Chu Xun "looked" into Li Muyang's eyes. "From the beginning to the end, you have never looked behind me — — What? Do you need me to help you reintroduce yourself? Lu Xingkong, the patriarch of the Lu clan, the general of the Empire, the traitor, the schemer of the country, and also your grandfather — — Before this, you must have thought that your greatest enemy was Song Gudu, right? But I didn't expect that it was your grandfather hiding in a dark corner and manipulating all this — — Are you surprised? Are you surprised? "
"You have no eyes and no pupils, what can you see?" Li Muyang said in a cold voice, looking at Chu Xun's hideous and terrifying eyes.
"My eyes are blind, but my heart is not blind — — I can feel it — — you hate him, hate your grandfather, don't you?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Li Muyang looked straight into Chu Xun's eyes. Yes, he would rather stare at this incomparably ugly monster than look diagonally behind Chu Xun.
Because there stood the person he did not want to face.
Lu Xingkong!
"I like your hatred, a person can only achieve extraordinary things if there is hatred in their heart — — I am like that — —" Chu Xun laughed wildly, like a child who had received a great reward. "I hate you, I hate Lu Xingkong, I hate the Lu clan, I hate the West Wind Kingdom, I hate all human beings — — so I was able to be reborn and become my true self — —"
Li Muyang suddenly felt danger, asking in a low voice, "You — — who are you?"
"I am Chu Xun." Chu Xun replied. "I am the Dragon Slayer Chu Xun."
As he was speaking, the sword in Chu Xun's hand suddenly turned into a cloud of black mist. The black mist, like a living creature, transformed into a vicious viper, and fiercely pounced towards Li Muyang's chest.
