C12 I will Take Care of Everything!

"You!"

Liu Bao was taken aback; he hadn't expected Lu Yu to dare strike at him!

He had deliberately conjured a barrier of true qi to fend off Lu Yu's Knife Qi when he approached.

He had assumed this display of power would intimidate Lu Yu into backing down, but to his surprise, Lu Yu had the audacity to attack!

Suppressing the shock and rage boiling within him, Liu Bao hurried to King Wei's side. A quick examination confirmed his worst fears: King Wei was beyond saving.

"Do you realize what you've done?"

Gone was Liu Bao's earlier composure as he barked furiously at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu replied icily, "If you disagree, seek your revenge."

"Little Yu, stop this madness!" Somehow, Lu Lengshuang had mustered the strength to stand by Lu Yu despite her frailty.

"Sister!" Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he swiftly turned to support the faltering Lu Lengshuang.

Her complexion was ashen, yet Lu Lengshuang managed to lift her head and plead with Liu Bao, "Eunuch Liu, my brother's wits aren't whole; his actions are bound to be improper at times. I implore you, on behalf of our father, spare his life."

"Improper? Hmph, General Lu, your brother's actions are far beyond improper!" Liu Bao's gaze was icy as he glared at Lu Yu, his intent to kill palpable.

Lu Yu had slain a beloved prince of the realm!

Even if his father, the Marquis of Yongping, Lu Kaishan, were present, saving Lu Yu would be a daunting task!

Determination flickered in Lu Lengshuang's eyes as she bit her lip. She looked up at Liu Bao and declared, "General Liu, this all began because of me. I will face death in Little Yu's stead!"

"Hahaha, you think your death will settle the matter? Your brother's brazen deed demands that, by the laws of Great Liang, nine generations of your family be executed!" Liu Bao's maniacal laughter echoed all around.

The execution of nine generations!

This pronouncement left Lu Lengshuang utterly stunned. Despite years of battle-hardened experience, she trembled uncontrollably.

In the midst of Lu Lengshuang's confusion, a pair of strong hands came to rest on her shoulders.

"Sister, don't worry. I've got this!" Lu Yu said reassuringly as he gently guided Lu Lengshuang to sit on a chair.

I've got this!

It was beyond Lu Lengshuang's imagination that her brother, who was often considered simple-minded, could muster such resolve.

With a mocking tone, Liu Bao sneered, "What's this? Are we at the part where you give your final speech?"

Lu Yu turned sharply, his gaze piercing as he faced Liu Bao.

"Liu Bao, you incessantly claim things are inappropriate. Yet, when King Wei commits atrocities, torturing and slaughtering innocents, piling sin upon sin, you stay silent about propriety?"

"My sister, though a woman, has been a warrior for our nation since her youth, slaying countless enemies and earning illustrious honors. And yet, she's been seized by that scoundrel and taken to his estate with vile intentions!"

"The laws of Great Liang dictate that a prince is subject to the same punishment as a commoner for his crimes! I've dispatched a few vile doers, and by law, I should be commended! You, an old eunuch, are illiterate and ignorant of the law, yet you have the audacity to stand before me and speak of exterminating my entire family?"

Liu Bao was visibly stung by Lu Yu's pointed words.

"You sharp-tongued brat, I've had enough of your insolence. You've committed grave offenses. It's time you accompany me to the East Factory prison!" Liu Bao's voice was shrill as he lunged for Lu Yu.

A formidable Qi surged forward, threatening to obliterate all in its path, enveloping the surroundings.

Lu Yu's sleeves fluttered as if caught in a gale.

"Crack! Crack!"

The sound of bones vibrating emanated from within Lu Yu. The pressure bore down on him like a mountain's weight.

It seemed as though he could be crushed at any moment.

Yet, to Liu Bao's astonishment, Lu Yu remained upright, his demeanor unchanged despite the overwhelming force bearing down on him.

Despite his cultivation level being at the sixth tier of the Xiantian Realm, he couldn't make Lu Yu budge an inch!

"Is that the best you can do?" Lu Yu asked, his gaze icy as he bore down on Liu Bao with overwhelming presence. "Now, brace yourself for my move!"
