C14 The Face of the Lei Family

He provoked me, insulted me, tried to kill me, but he was too weak to be killed by me.

This sentence caused a huge uproar.

Many of the younger generation were left speechless, and great waves surged within their hearts.

Has Lu Chen gone mad?

This was what everyone was thinking.

That was the patriarch of Lei family, Lei Wanjun, a super Soul Meridian Stage warrior. His strength was only slightly weaker than Elder Yu Ying.

Facing such a powerful warrior, Lu Chen was so calm and relaxed. He didn't take killing Lei Lian seriously at all.

Everyone looked at him strangely.

"Provoking you? Insulting you?"

Lei Wanjun looked at Lu Chen coldly.

In his point of view, Lu Chen was too arrogant. He had killed the people of Lei family in the Thunder Prefecture, but he still dared to be so arrogant?

Compared to Lei Wanjun's anger, Hong Lih and Mu Sheng were secretly delighted. The Genius Banquet, which was originally held by the three major families, was targeting Lu Chen and the Prince Zhan Clan.

The best outcome would be to chase Lu Chen out of the Tianhuang City. If not, they could just kill him.

They had thought of many ways to implement the plan, but none of them were useful.

No matter who was right or wrong, Lu Chen killing Lei Lian was still a human life.

If he caused trouble, then the three families could not be blamed.

Hong Lih took a step forward and looked at Lu Chen, "City Lord Lu, I respect you because you are the direct descendant of Prince Zhan Clan. That's why I called you City Lord. Now, it seems like you have no right to be the City Lord of Tianhuang City."

"So, you are qualified to be the City Lord?"

Lu Chen darted him a glance and asked.

"You... Ridiculous! You killed Lei Lian and broke the rules of Genius Banquet in public! And you still dare to act so righteously? Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you have the backing of the Prince Zhan Clan?" Hong Lih was furious. When had he ever been contradicted by a young man?

"Lu Chen, no matter what, it's the truth that you killed Lei Lian. Surrender and accept the punishment of the Lei family. You still have a way to live. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave the Tianhuang City." Mu Sheng said.

"With me here, none of you can bully the young master." Uncle Fu said furiously. He had already prepared himself for a fight.

If he wanted to attack Lu Chen, he would have to step over his dead body first.

Lu Chen looked at Mu Gu thoughtfully.

The scene of him bringing Muh Wan to Prince Zhan's Mansion to beg for his father was still vivid in his mind.

Now, things were different. When the tree falls, monkeys scatter.

Hehe...

Lu Chen's strange laughter made Mu Feng extremely uncomfortable. He also seemed to feel the burning gazes from the surroundings.

"Lu Chen, considering the fact that the Prince Zhan Clan has helped my Muh family in the past, my Muh family can plead on your behalf for this matter. As long as you are willing to admit your mistake..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Chen.

"I have returned the jade pendant. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Muh family anymore." Lu Chen said.

In the pavilion, Muh Wan's face turned green and red. Finally, as if she had thought of something, her face turned cold. She turned her head away and no longer looked at Lu Chen.

"You have killed a disciple of my Lei family. You have to pay with your life."

Lei Wanjun was completely enraged. He was ready to kill Fang Chen himself.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. Lei Wanjun glared at Lu Chen.

"I say, Lei family Master, you are a Soul Meridian Stage warrior. If you attack a Body Tempering Stage warrior, wouldn't it be a loss of your status?"

All of a sudden, Elder Yu Ying's voice broke the solemn atmosphere of Lei Prefecture.

"That's right. Let them settle the matters of the younger generation." Elder Ye of the Lishan Sect said with a smile, "The purpose of the Genius Banquet is to select the top geniuses. Lei Lian and Lu Chen were defeated in the battle and died in the end. It's his fault for not being good at learning."

"But..."

Lei Wanjun still wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Elder Yu Ying.

"Master of Lei family, since the Genius Banquet has begun, the stage will be left to the younger generation. We'll just watch." Elder Yu Ying said, then walked to the main platform and sat down.

Elder Ye also sat down.

The three patriarchs looked at each other. Although they were filled with anger and wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate Lu Chen, they could only suppress the thoughts in their hearts because of the face of these two experts.

Lei Wanjun took a deep breath and tried his best to calm the anger in his heart.

"Elder Ye is right. Lei Lian was killed. We can only blame him for his lack of skill. Genius Banquet is a stage for young people. We shouldn't interfere."

When he said this, Lei Wanjun gritted his teeth and said it.

Mu Gu naturally had no objections. After all, Muh Wan had already been chosen by the Lishan Sect. Not long later, Elder Ye would take her away. At this time, they definitely couldn't cause any trouble.

As for the Hong Family, they weren't willing to offend the two elders.

On the main platform, the five experts took their seats. Lei Wanjun briefly explained the rules of the Genius Banquet, and then the stage was handed over to the younger generation.

A cold glint flashed across his eyes.

Even if he didn't make a move, there were still people from the three families who could kill Lu Chen.

"I'll let you live a little longer."

Lei Wanjun thought to himself.

On the square, Lei Xuan, who had received the order, was the first to jump out and challenge Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, I challenge you to a duel of life and death. Do you dare to accept my challenge?"

This was the rule of the Genius Banquet, and Uncle Fu couldn't interfere.

"Young master..."

He reminded Lu Chen not to fight blindly.

Lu Chen waved his hand, signaling Uncle Fu to sit down first.

After that, he glanced at Lei Xuan. "Do you want to die?"

His words stunned everyone.

Wasn't this too direct and domineering?

Of the three great geniuses of Lei family, Lei Hsing was the first, and Lei Xuan was the second. As for Lei Lian, although he was ranked third, the gap between him and Lei Xuan was just too great.

"Hmph! You think you're invincible just because you've activated all nine of your heart meridians?"

Lei Xuan stood in the middle of the square and sneered.

" Oh? Nine heart meridians?"

On the platform, Elder Yu Ying and Elder Ye were surprised.

Especially Elder Yu Ying, his face was full of relief. Prince Zhan had a successor.

Elder Ye's thoughts were completely different. He was considering whether he should recruit Lu Chen into the Lishan Sect.

Seeing the expressions of the two elders, the three major families became somewhat anxious. They couldn't wait to kill Lu Chen.

Nine heart meridians was the limit of the Body Tempering Stage. Up until now, no one in the Tianhuang City had been able to do it.

Just this alone was enough to draw the attention of the two elders.

"Damn it!"

Lei Wanjun clenched his fists tightly, feeling slightly angry.

They had actually failed to find out such an important piece of information.

Not only them, even Uncle Fu was somewhat surprised.

"What?! When did young master awaken nine heart meridians?"

Uncle Fu felt that he was getting more and more confused about his young master these days.

On the square, Lu Chen's aura was very strong.

He stood with his hands behind his back, like a king patrolling the world.

"Or is it that your Lei family wants to use a battle of attrition to kill me?"

Lu Chen's words had exposed the Lei family's plot, which made the Lei family extremely angry.

"You..."

Lei Xuan felt that he had been humiliated.

"You are too weak."

Lu Chen shook his head as if he was talking to himself.

Combined with his indifferent attitude, it gave Lei family the biggest irony.

In front of Dragon Emperor, who would dare to claim to be invincible?
