Chapter 797

Chapter 797: Chapter 353 Lu Jingtao, Xiao Yinxuan_2 Chapter 797: Chapter 353 Lu Jingtao, Xiao Yinxuan_2 It could even be said that Lin Jing did not even qualify to be his opponent.

The person flying towards them, if Lin Jing guessed correctly, must be a Bandit Cultivator undergoing Tribulation.

…

…

At the same time, not just Lin Jing, but also several people around him felt this aura.

When Lu Youjiu noticed this aura, his face immediately turned extremely ugly, and then, furrowing his brows, he looked in the direction from which the aura was emanating.

Very soon.

...

A blurry silhouette appeared from the front at an incredible speed.

Upon seeing this figure, Lu Youjiu’s brows furrowed even more tightly.

At this moment, Lu Youjiu spoke to everyone:

“Brother Lin, and everyone else…”

“I’m terribly sorry, it seems I have dragged you all into this.”

Everyone heard and quickly looked towards Lu Youjiu.

It seemed that Lu Youjiu knew who the person about to arrive was.

However.

Before anyone could ask, that figure appeared in front of everyone.

This was a plain-looking middle-aged man who, despite his ordinary appearance, exuded a wild and domineering aura.

Upon arriving, his first action was not to look at the people gathered there.

Instead, he looked towards the shimmering screen hanging in the void, and said:

“It looks like this is the secret realm of the Lin Family from the legends.

Never thought I’d see the day when I’d witness the Lin Family’s Secret Realm.”

After finishing his words, he then turned his head to look towards the group of people.

After his gaze passed over Lin Jing and the others, it finally settled on Lu Youjiu.

Upon seeing this, Lu Youjiu quickly regained his usual demeanor and then stepped forward, shielding the others behind him.

Next.

Lu Youjiu raised his arm, greeting the man with a cupped-hand salute and then said:

“Uncle Xiao, have you come here on some errand?”

The middle-aged man surnamed Xiao looked at Lu Youjiu and said directly:

“Lu Youjiu, you have always been smart.”

“You must already know the purpose of my visit here.”

“If you have anything you wish to ask, ask directly.

There’s no need for all this beating around the bush.

It’s tiring for both you and me.

After all, I’ve watched you grow up, and now that it’s come to this point, there’s no need to keep you in the dark.”

After hearing this, Lu Youjiu looked up at this all too familiar person, and then, sighing with a sense of helplessness, he said:

“Uncle Xiao…”

“The time my father placed me under house arrest, you released me, was it all for today?”

The man surnamed Xiao nodded:

“Yes!”

“Then all that my elder brother Xiao Xu did before, was also under your instruction.”

“Correct!”

“All of it was arranged by me,” said the man.

Upon hearing this, Lu Youjiu fell silent.

A moment later, Lu Youjiu spoke again, asking:

“Before coming here, I had already lost contact with elder brother Xiao Xu, and our appearance in this place was a spur-of-the-moment decision.”

“How, then, could you have known, Uncle Xiao?”

The man simply smiled:

“Actually, it’s not hard to guess.”

“The chase you were facing was orchestrated by me.”

“I made preparations in every possible direction you might have fled.

No matter which direction you chose, it would be futile; you had nowhere to run but to the Chaotic Sea Area.”

“Since you’ve come to the Chaotic Sea Area, being so close to the Lin Family’s old Ganlin Island, how could you possibly not come here?”

“Even if you truly hadn’t come, I would have found a way to make you come here.”

“You had no choice!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Youjiu’s brows furrowed slightly, and then, looking at the man named Xiao, he asked again:

“Uncle Xiao!”

“I want to know, why?”

“Our families are so close, why would you do this?”

The man surnamed Xiao looked at Lu Youjiu and went on:

“Why do this?”

“Discussing this serves no purpose.”

“Emotions, when you think they matter, they do; when you decide they don’t, they become worthless.”

“There are things I want that your father can’t give me, so I have to turn to others.”

“Naturally, if I want someone to help me obtain something, then I must first give up something.”

“This…”

“It’s the reason I am here today.”

After hearing this, Lu Youjiu fell silent again, then spoke after a moment:

“So, Elder Xiao, you’re not planning to let us go, are you?”

The man surnamed Xiao looked at Lu Youjiu, his eyes filled with regret:

“Little Jiu…”

“Although I don’t wish to hurt you, this matter isn’t up to me.”

“But rest assured, after all I watched you grow up, if I really do send you off, I won’t let you suffer even a little bit.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Youjiu’s expression suddenly relaxed, and then he seemed to come to a resolution.

“Elder Xiao!”

“I think you should understand my father well, he didn’t get to where he is solely by martial force.”

“If I’m not guessing wrong, he must also be aware of your arrival here.”

Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Xiao laughed softly, saying:

“Haha…”

“Little Jiu is indeed Little Jiu, even now, you can stay so calm.”

Having said that, the man surnamed Xiao called out directly:

“Jingtao!”

“Since you’re already here, stop hiding and come out!

”

“It’s about time for the two of us brothers to have a good talk.”

As the words of the man surnamed Xiao fell, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared not far from everyone.

This man’s appearance was quite abrupt, and none present knew how he had appeared.

After the middle-aged man appeared, Lu Youjiu heaved a sigh of relief, then his face showed joy, and he respectfully said to this newly appeared middle-aged man:

“Father!”

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Youjiu and then nodded slightly.

The suddenly appeared middle-aged man was none other than Lu Youjiu’s father, Lu Jingtao, the Alliance Hierarch of the Shocking Seas Alliance.

After Lu Jingtao signaled to Lu Youjiu, he turned his head to look at the man surnamed Xiao opposite him, and then spoke:

“Xiao Yinxuan…”

“You’re right, it’s about time for the two of us brothers to have a good talk.”

Lu Jingtao did not exhibit his aura like Xiao Yinxuan, but when facing Xiao Yinxuan, he exuded an indescribable confidence from his bones.

Lu Youjiu’s father, Lu Jingtao, was a cultivator in the Mahayana Realm, much stronger than Xiao Yinxuan, so he naturally had no concerns facing Xiao Yinxuan.

However.

Seeing Lu Jingtao appear, Xiao Yinxuan also showed no hint of panic.

As if everything were within his expectations.

At this moment.

Xiao Yinxuan looked at Lu Jingtao and said:

“Lu Jingtao, I truly admire you.

From an insignificant member of the Shocking Seas Alliance, you defeated all the direct disciples nurtured by the Elders and climbed step by step to your current position as the Alliance Hierarch.”

“Such an achievement, from the founding of the Shocking Seas Alliance to now, you are the only one, it’s truly admirable.”

“To be honest, if it were possible, I’d really like to be friends with you for a lifetime.”

Lu Jingtao looked at Xiao Yinxuan and said:

“But you still chose to be my enemy, disregarding our many years of friendship.”

Xiao Yinxuan shook his head helplessly, then replied:

“Everyone has their own ambition…”

“Although we have a good relationship, there are some things that you just can’t give me.”

“I can only try to rob and snatch for myself…”

After hearing this, Lu Jingtao’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked at Xiao Yinxuan and said:

“You’re obsessed…”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yinxuan looked at Lu Jingtao in front of him, a smile appearing on his face:

“Maybe so…”

“But I feel pretty good about it.”

Lu Jingtao looked at Xiao Yinxuan in front of him, and then spoke again:

“If you turn back now, you are still my brother, and we can be like before.

I promise all will be forgiven, and no one in the Alliance will trouble you.”

Listening to Lu Jingtao’s words, Xiao Yinxuan laughed self-deprecatingly:

“Haha…”

“All will be forgiven…”

“What a phrase, all will be forgiven!”

“Lu Jingtao, there’s no need to say anything more.

You know, since I’ve started this, I can’t turn back now, and we can’t return to how we were before.”

“It’s better for us to stand on our grounds and have a proper fight…”
