After a few moments.
Liu Xiaojiang entered the Lu Family's ancestral home and arrived at the room where Lu Jin and his grandchildren were. He saw Old Master Lu glaring at him fiercely.
"Old Master Lu …"
"You brat …" Lu Jin interrupted Liu Xiaojiang as soon as he saw him enter the room.
"How dare you swagger into the Lu Family's residence in broad daylight … You didn't even bother to disguise yourself. Don't you have the Realm Painting Poison on your side?"
"Don't worry …" Liu Xiaojiang knew that he was in the wrong in front of the Lu Family. Previously, he had embarrassed Lu Jin in front of everyone, so he didn't mind the old man's harsh tone.
"Since I dared to come to the Lu Family's residence at this time, I'm naturally prepared not to implicate the Lu Family. After all, you're the one who passed me the Sky Connecting Scroll … and I'm indebted to you."
"Speak..." When Lu Jin heard this, he became even angrier. Following that, he no longer had the patience he used to have.
"What are you doing here all of a sudden? Don't tell me you're going to … kill the chicken to warn the monkey?"
Upon hearing that,
Liu Xiaojiang glanced at the speechless Lu Linglong and Lu Lin. Then, he walked slowly to the chair that was obviously prepared for him and sat down. Shortly after, he extended two fingers to the three of them and said.
"Two things …"
"Firstly, it's about the Sky Connecting Scroll. I'm here to confirm your attitude and whether the Sky Connecting Scroll will continue to be passed down in the Lu Family."
"Although you did express that it belonged to your brother, Zheng Zibu, and that the Lu Family isn't qualified to pass it down as a family skill, the reason why you took it out … was to find a successor for your brother."
"But, it's one of the Eight Mystical Skills, after all, and it involves a lot of things. If you feel that I'm not qualified as a successor and want to find someone more suitable to pass it down … That wouldn't be good."
"After all, in my plan, the Eight Mystical Skills shouldn't exist. Even if some people obtained them by chance, the inheritance of the Eight Mystical Skills should be completely cut off in this generation. If not … the situation of people snatching them won't disappear."
"I need a clear answer from you. You won't pass the Sky Connecting Scroll to anyone else, not even the Lu Family …"
"What else?" Lu Jin originally had no intention of passing the Through Heaven Scroll to the Lu Family, but seeing Liu Xiaojiang's threatening attitude today, he still spoke with an extremely tough attitude.
"Otherwise, are you going to kill everyone in my Lu Clan? Is this the path you've chosen after careful consideration?"
The Lu Family had always been like this. The word 'compromise' did not exist in their dictionary, so they would never accept any kind of threat …
Liu Xiaojiang was well aware of the Lu Family members' personalities. But considering the dangers of the Eight Mystical Skills, he still chose to visit them alone.
Besides, even if he didn't intend to threaten the Lu Family, this matter seemed like a form of coercion because the Lu Family wouldn't agree with what he was about to do. They might even treat him as an enemy that threatened the world in the future.
But he didn't have any ill intentions toward the Lu Family. Besides, strictly speaking, the Lu Family treated him well and their way of existence was more acceptable than the other Mutant Sects. They didn't even have the thought of 'ego' like the other Mutant Sects and were completely a docile force.
The Lu Family's attitude toward these matters was similar to the Taoist Sect's attitude toward seclusion. They wouldn't get involved in the so-called disputes of the pugilistic world …
"If you think that passing down the Sky Connecting Scroll is actually a good thing for the world, you can continue to pass it down yourself … But I believe that after what happened back then, you won't let the Lu Family inherit it."
"As for the others …"
Speaking of which,
He looked up at Old Master Lu, who was looking straight at him, and said slowly with a smile, "They're not from the Lu Family.
"They aren't from the Lu Family, so their personalities are definitely different from the Lu Family's and they won't have any contact with me. Therefore, I will kill every one of them you pass on … until you give up on this idea."
Hearing that,
Lu Jin frowned and didn't say anything.
Lu Linglong looked at Liu Xiaojiang in disbelief and said,
"Brother Liu, what's wrong with you? Why did you join the All-Encompassing Sect? Why can you say such things? You were clearly a very gentle …"
"What exactly do you want to do?" Lu Jin looked straight at Liu Xiaojiang and said. He also reminded Lu Linglong that the younger generation had no right to speak in this kind of situation.
Liu Xiaojiang looked at Lu Linglong, who had a complicated expression on her face. He didn't answer her question, nor did he answer Lu Jin's stupid question. Instead, he spoke calmly and slowly again.
"Ensuring that the Sky Connecting Scroll will disappear completely in this generation is the first reason why I came to visit the Lu Family."
"The second thing …"
At this point,
He looked at Old Master Lu, who had a solemn expression, and said,
"I won't force the Lu Family to make any decisions because this is the freedom you deserve. But considering the personality of your Old Master Lu, I know very well what choice the Lu Family will make in the future …"
"So …"
"I hope that no matter what happens in the future, and what choice the Lu Family makes, your Lu Family people … can treat 'survival' as the top priority. Don't rush too far ahead when fighting against the All-Encompassing Sect."
"After all, I admire the way the Lu Family exists, and I admit that the Lu Family has taken good care of me in the past. Therefore, I don't want the Lu Family to suffer more serious losses than the other sects in this purge."
"Whether it's the Dao Sect or the Lu Family, if you just cultivate in seclusion and work hard to improve yourself … there's nothing wrong with that."
After that,
Liu Xiaojiang slowly stood up from his chair and looked at the three people with doubtful expressions.
"Alright, I've said what I need to say. An all-encompassing demon like me will only bring you more trouble if I stay in the Lu Family for too long. As for the rest … I'll leave it to you to make your own decisions."
"Xiao Jiang, are you really going to do that? Is everything you said before true?" Lu Jin looked at Liu Xiaojiang with uncertainty. When Liu Xiaojiang was about to leave, he suddenly said hesitantly.
"You're right about one thing. Other than me, Lu Jin, in the Lu Family, almost everyone has a clear conscience like the people of the Dao Sect. But don't forget that you, Mount Longhu, are also a member of the Dao Sect, and even the leader of the entire Orthodox Sect …"
"Since you know what choice the Lu Family will make, then you should also know that your uncle-master and the others will definitely not let it go …"
"Ah, I'm very clear about this matter. I'm sure my uncle-master and the others are also waiting, waiting to confirm if I've really taken the wrong path …" Liu Xiaojiang turned around and looked at Lu Jin.
"However, so what? Since I've already decided on the path and determined that the path under my feet is not wrong, then even if I have to be enemies with everyone in the world … Will right become wrong, and wrong become right?"
As soon as he finished speaking …
Liu Xiaojiang did not stay in the Lu Family's ancestral home. He instantly disappeared from the gazes of the three people in the room, completely ignoring how much trouble he had brought to the Lu Family …
