For a moment, the air around the dining table froze and a chill quickly spread.
"Do you need me to pick a few more?"
Chen Xiao's face was brimming with a smile, but no one felt any warmth from it.
Someone noticed that the youth's gaze was as cold as ice that had been frozen for ten thousand years.
Their scalps went numb and their hair stood on end. His gaze made them feel as if they were looking at the Grim Reaper.
At this moment, no one dared to reply.
If Chen Xiao opened his mouth and ruined someone's harvest, they wouldn't even have a place to cry!
Just as the atmosphere was about to freeze, Old Master Lu, who was seated at the head of the table, finally opened his mouth.
Even Lu Yunjing's eyes were filled with a hint of hope.
"Your cultivation is indeed very strong. It's beyond my expectations."
Lu Guoqiang's first words caused many people's spirits to rise and their expressions to change.
From what he said, could it be that he had acknowledged Lu Yunjing's family and was planning to let them return to the Lu Clan?
To many people, this wasn't good news.
After all, it meant that their resources would be squeezed and their profits would decrease.
"But that's far from enough." Lu Guoqiang shook his head slowly.
Lu Yunjing's face darkened when she heard that.
The other members of the Lu Clan cheered and looked at him with proud eyes.
If Lu Guoqiang hadn't stopped talking, they would have laughed at him.
"Your methods may seem cruel, but you lack strategy and never consider the consequences.
"Slaughtering the Sky God Alliance sounds domineering, but you've completely ignored the interests of the clan and caused the clan to suffer great losses.
"Not only that, you care too much about your reputation and like to brag. You killed a few Grandmasters of the Primal Chaos Sect, but you said that you destroyed the entire sect.
"Even the Chinese government is afraid of the Primal Chaos Sect. Do you think you can destroy it by yourself?"
The old man's analysis made sense. Everyone who had their brows furrowed suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, they lamented that the older the ginger, the spicier it was.
With just a few words, Chen Xiao was rendered speechless. If they were in Chen Xiao's shoes, they wouldn't have been able to do it.
"Patriarch is right. No matter how strong he is, he's just a boorish thug."
"Our Lu Clan has as many people as we want. What's the point of inviting a great Buddha like you?"
Immediately, Lu Qingguo clapped his hands and laughed, mocking Chen Xiao. A trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes.
At the end of the day, Old Master Lu was the one who called the shots in the Lu family.
As long as Lu Guoqiang didn't approve of her, no matter how hard Lu Yunjing worked, it would just be a waste of effort.
"It's not impossible to return to the Lu family."
Old Master Lu's gaze was stern as he looked at Chen Xiao's family and said, "However, as traitors of the Lu Clan, you will only be qualified to return if you have sufficient merits."
"I'll give you five years to complete the mission given by the clan. After five years, you can return to the clan after passing the test."
In an instant, many pitying and gloating gazes fell on Lu Yunjing.
Lu Yunjing's body shook. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. Then, it turned into sorrow and despair.
The old man sitting in the main seat was her biological father.
Lu Guoqiang knew very well whether she had betrayed the clan or not.
However, after more than 20 years, he was still so cold, calling her a traitor, and even saying that she would have to work for the Lu Clan for another five years before she could return to the clan!
"Dad, you …"
"You're not a member of the Lu Clan yet. You don't have the right to call me that."
A kind smile suddenly appeared on the old man's calm face. "However, as long as you return to the Lu Clan, we can go back to our old days. How about that?"
Lu Yunjing wavered even more when she heard that.
No matter how much she said that she didn't care, the Lu Clan had always been a thorn in her heart for more than 20 years.
This thorn in her heart was like a demonic thought that was about to turn into an inner demon.
"Your entire family."
At that moment, Chen Xiao suddenly sneered and interrupted Lu Guoqiang's words.
His gaze was extremely cold. Even at a time like this, Lu Guoqiang was still playing with people's hearts.
Lu Yunjing might not be able to tell, but he could clearly tell that this old man was really scheming.
After a round of suppression, he threw out the temptation of returning to the clan and pretended to be a loving father to shake Lu Yunjing's emotions.
As long as Lu Yunjing agreed, it would mean that Chen Xiao had also agreed to the so-called five-year period.
By then, if Lu Yunjing couldn't complete the task, as her son, how could he not do anything?
That would be equivalent to binding the Demon King Chen to the Lu Clan's high-level fighter!
"I'm afraid that the Lu Clan has placed the breakthrough point on my mother right from the start."
A cold glint appeared in Chen Xiao's eyes as he mumbled to himself.
"What did you say?"
Lu Guoqiang's eyes were wide open and his hair stood on end as a repressed aura spread out.
That was the rage of a superior!
"I said, it's time for the Lu Clan to wake up from their sweet dreams!"
However, Chen Xiao also released an aura that was as vast as the sky and as deep as the abyss.
If Lu Guoqiang's aura was said to be terrifying.
Then Chen Xiao's aura was like that of an immortal demon. It was domineering, tearing the rift apart and crushing the Heavens!
A loud explosion was heard.
The long table that everyone was sitting at was shattered into pieces. Under everyone's gaze, it turned into dust.
The stomp of his foot was like a huge earthquake as a burning aura shot into the sky.
At that instant, the entire dining hall was shattered into pieces. Countless pieces of debris were sent flying into the sky.
"No, what is this … Help!!"
The eyes of the Lu Clan were popping out of their sockets. They were forced to the ground as their bodies trembled.
They were horrified. This scene was simply unimaginable. It was as if a world-destroying demon king was roaring!
"I'm your grandfather, you can't …" Lu Guoqiang exclaimed with a trembling voice.
Chen Xiao turned a deaf ear to them. His voice was like a clap of thunder, shaking the Lu family members until they were dizzy.
"If you can't wake up, I don't mind beating you up so you can understand …
"Who is the one who decides our fate!"
Just like what he had said.
He was here to ask his mother to return to the Lu Clan, not to beg them to let her return.
If the Lu Clan was stubborn, he did not mind changing the Lu Clan to a new one!
"You can't do this! If you dare to kill us, you will lose everyone's trust! "
Lu Qingguo's face was ashen as he yelled hysterically, "Even if you kill everyone, it won't change the fact that you are a brute!"
"What else do you know other than fighting? Do you have money? Do you have resources? Do you have connections? "
"You have nothing! The Lu Clan is a super family, a noble family in China. Trash like you is not qualified to join! "
The terrifying pressure caused their minds to collapse, and all the curses in their minds were spat out in one go.
At that moment, a series of shouts came from afar.
"The Lin Clan of Tianjing is here to visit!"
"The chairman of Tianchi Group is here to visit!"
"Liu Cangqiu and his disciple are here to visit!"
"…"
The shouts were like thunder that lit up the night sky of Tianjing.
