The middle-aged man scanned all the members of the Chen Family. Suddenly, his gaze landed on Lu Sheng, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Lu … Chong?" He actually called out Lu Sheng's name on the spot.
A hint of astonishment surfaced in Lu Sheng's eyes.
"You know me?" He had been standing in the corner, inconspicuous, but now that he was called out by Zhang Hong, everyone's gaze landed on him.
The Chen Family Head and the others were overjoyed. If they knew each other, perhaps they could let the Chen Family off this time with Lu Sheng's help. They still had a sliver of hope in their hearts.
"As one of the Four Guardian Families, you are one of the few heirs of the Lu Family. Not only do I know you, I also know your brother Lu Quan and sister Lu Zhenling," Zhang Hong said lightly. "What? With you here, can I take it that the Lu Family intends to interfere? "
Zhang Hong was puzzled as well. The Four Guardian Families had been passed down for thousands of years. They were all ancient families, and each of them had their own strange, ancient traditions and mysterious powers.
He did not expect to meet the Lu Family, one of the Four Guardian Families, on this bloodline retrieval mission.
Although the Lu Family was not known for their martial prowess, it was said that they were skilled in Guardian Spirit contracts. After all, the Guardian Spirits were not only used to deal with evil spirits.
Not long ago, word spread in the family that someone from the Lu Family had gone out to explore the world. They did not expect to meet him here.
"So it's that Zhang Family …" Lu Sheng had also found his childhood memories from Lu Chong's memories. The Zhang Family, the Ling Family, the Qiu Family, and their Lu Family made up the so-called Four Guardian Families. Lu Chong had been to these families as a guest when he was young, but he did not know the relationship between the Four Guardian Families.
He did not expect to meet the Zhang Family when he came to search for the Universal Ward Pillar.
According to Lu Chong's memories, the Four Guardian Families lived in harmony and did not interfere with each other. They were equal but also competitive.
Now, it seemed that the other three families all had their own unique mysteries.
"Lu Chong, you should know how important the bloodline is to the Zhang Family. Even if it's you …" Zhang Hong said in a low voice.
However, Lu Sheng was not interested in this. After understanding that the other three families he visited when he was young all had their own secrets, he immediately found a new direction.
"My Lu Family is not interested in your trivial matters. I just want to ask you something. Do you know where a secret place is nearby? "He asked his main point directly.
As soon as this question left his mouth, Lu Sheng saw the expressions of the three people opposite him change in an instant.
"How do you know that there is a secret plane!?" Zhang Hong's expression suddenly became vigilant, and a black metal hook appeared in his hand.
"What? You really know? "Lu Sheng's eyes lit up. He knew he was on the right track. Ju Yan had actually told him about the secret place. He had originally thought that it was a secret place, but now it seemed that he had thought too simply. Looking at the reactions of the three from the Zhang family, it was probably not a simple place.
"Lu Chong, you should know that spying on the greatest secret of one of the Four Guardian Families is a taboo that must never be violated!!" Zhang Hong said coldly. "You better give up on this idea, or else … don't blame the Zhang Family for not letting you leave this county city! When that time comes, even your father can't protect you! "
Lu Sheng was stunned.
"Greatest secret?" He was even more certain that the secret place Ju Yan wanted him to find was an important place for the Zhang Family.
"You know where it is?" he asked again.
"I said, give up on this idea. Lu Chong, are you trying to force the Zhang Family to go to war with your Purple Smoke Villa?" Zhang Hong said sternly.
"Go to war?" Lu Sheng chuckled.
"What if I insist on going?" He raised his right hand, the back of his hand facing outwards. Invisible traces of spiritual power slowly spread out, like smoke rising from his palms.
The others could not see the spiritual energy, but Zhang Hong and the other two could feel the ripples.
"Then don't blame me …" Zhang Hong's expression turned stern, and he was about to raise his hand.
In an instant, an unbelievably terrifying spiritual energy ripple spread out from Lu Chong's body like flames.
"Boom!!!"
An invisible gust of wind spread out in all directions with Lu Sheng at the center.
Zhang Hong could not help but take a step back. The terrifying spiritual pressure almost caused his heart to stop. Although they did not know how to form a Guardian Spirit Contract, the Hundred Spirit Energy that they cultivated was actually a variant of Spirit Energy. They could also feel the unbelievably powerful spiritual pressure from Lu Sheng.
"This … This is?!" The three of them widened their eyes, and their eyeballs almost popped out. They felt as if there was an extremely powerful pressure pressing down on their bodies, squeezing the Hundred Spirit Energy in their bodies.
"Such powerful spiritual energy … You … What kind of Guardian Spirit did you sign?! It's … "One of the three even began to speak incoherently.
"Pfft!"
The other person behind Zhang Hong finally could not withstand the pressure and spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. The Hundred Spirit Energy in his body was stirred up by the terrifying spiritual pressure, and it was completely chaotic. He was severely injured before he could even attack, and he fell to the ground.
"Alright, take me there." Lu Sheng's face began to contort under the intense spiritual pressure. This kind of power that ordinary people could not feel was like a demon in the eyes of Zhang Hong and the other two.
It was so terrifying that it had already surpassed the ordinary Evil Spirits that they guarded. In fact, only a few people in their clan could compare to it.
"You'll … regret this!" Zhang Hong's face contorted, and the Hundred Spirit Energy in his body was boiling like water. The Hundred Spirit Energy gave him strength and physique that were far stronger than that of ordinary people. However, it also made him even more powerless in the face of this terrifying spiritual pressure.
"Let's go." Lu Sheng took the lead and walked over. He instantly retracted the spiritual pressure from his body. That was just the combined spiritual energy of more than ten Guardian Spirits that he had contracted. In fact, the spiritual energy that he revealed was not even the spiritual energy that he cultivated. The spiritual energy that he cultivated was at least ten times stronger than this spiritual energy.
"You! You're just going to walk over like this? Aren't you afraid of the eldest elder of the Zhang family?! "Zhang Hong could not help but cry out.
Lu Sheng's footsteps paused, and he turned his head slightly to look at him.
"In this world, no one can make me afraid except myself."
"Of course, if one of you can defeat me, I'll be even happier," he added at the end.
Zhang Hong was forced to take a few steps back by his almost arrogant words. Just as he was about to refute, he immediately thought of the terrifying spiritual pressure that he had just felt. For a moment, he could not say anything. He clenched his fists and tightened his grip.
"Since you're not afraid, I'll take you there. My Zhang family has two elders guarding there. If you're not afraid of death, you can go! "He took a deep breath and suddenly made up his mind.
"Lead the way." Lu Sheng only replied with these two words.
Zhang Hong did not even look at the Chen family at this time. Compared to the matter of the bloodline leakage, the matter of the secret plane in front of him was clearly much more important.
He turned around and helped the clansman who was sitting on the ground. The three of them walked in front and quickly left the Chen family's gate.
Lu Sheng followed closely behind.
Zhang Hong took a deep breath and felt the terrifying spiritual energy behind him that was as deep as the sea.
"The Lu family's guardian … This generation … may be the most powerful guardian in history …!"
"That level of spiritual energy …"
He had a feeling that this Lu Chong before him would perhaps cause an unimaginable twisting storm among the four guardian families.
Lu Sheng carried Bie Feihe with one hand and followed the three of them with light steps. Each step covered more than ten meters.
Under the curious gazes of the passersby, the five of them dashed out of the city gate and into the wilderness, heading southeast.
Zhang Hong's feet moved like the wind. The Hundred Spirit Qi flowed into his legs, maximizing the relaxation of the muscles and nerves in his legs. At the same time, it strengthened the joints in his legs, allowing him to move faster.
The other two did the same. This special strengthening technique was developed by the Zhang family after hundreds of years of experimentation. It could achieve the greatest effect without overly injuring the legs.
Lu Sheng carried Bie Feihe with one hand, but did not use spiritual energy to strengthen his legs. He stomped on the ground with one step, instantly creating a large crater. Using the reaction force, he easily caught up with the three in front of him.
"How far do we have to go?" he asked.
"About an hour. We'll see it after we go around the Yin Mountain," Zhang Hong said coldly.
"Too slow." Lu Sheng shook his head slightly and suddenly dashed forward, grabbing the back of Zhang Hong's neck with his empty hand.
"You point the way, I'll speed up."
"Whoosh!"
He suddenly increased his strength, and his speed increased several times. Bie Feihe and Zhang Hong almost couldn't help but scream at the same time.
"Oh oh oh oh … ah!!"
"Puff puff," the two of them were forced into their mouths by the strong wind, and they instantly became silent. They could only feel their bodies floating backwards, like kites in the sky, swaying back and forth from the strong wind blowing in front of them.
The scenery around them had long since become a complete blur, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Zhang Hong struggled to look forward, trying to determine where he was. However, Lu Sheng's speed was too fast, and he didn't even have time to recognize some of the characteristics of the route before he instantly switched to another area.
However, as Lu Sheng continued forward, even with his Divine Lord spirit that was restricted, he could gradually sense the huge spiritual energy reaction that was quickly approaching.
It was a huge spiritual energy amalgamation that was like a furnace. In Lu Sheng's eyes, it was like a torch in the darkness, extremely eye-catching.
… …
Zhao Ling Illusion.
White dots of light that looked like petals filled the sky, and slowly floated in the basin valley. This was the most secret place of the Zhang family, one of the Four Guardian Families. It guarded the Zhang family's biggest secret.
At this time, in the middle of the valley, in a red pavilion by a small river.
Zhang Mu smiled as he stroked his white beard. He looked at the brother in front of him who was deep in thought, feeling very pleased.
"How is it? You definitely won't be able to solve it this time. In order to design this spiritual formation, I painstakingly consulted seven Grandmaster Level craftsmen among the mortals. I was not ashamed to ask them, and I finally perfected this legendary Wen Guang Magical Formation! "Zhang Mu raised his white eyebrows, and his tone was filled with pride.
The person sitting opposite him was also an old man in his seventies or eighties. However, this old man had snow-white hair, but a pair of eyebrows that were as black as ink.
This person was one of the elders who guarded Zhao Ling Illusion alongside Zhang Mu — Zhang Chenshan.
