DRAGON EMPEROR

Chapter 21 Let's Meet Again in the Mystic Sword Sect

just then, everyone's gaze focused on the First Branch Elder and Lu Yao.

Lu Ming was not wrong. It would be a simple task to test whether Lu Yao had actually supplied blood to Lu Ming's meridians for three years, then release it from him and combine it with his own blood meridians.

“Lu Ming, who do you think you are? Do you think we'll run the test just because you said so?” The First Branch Elder quibbled reluctantly.

Observers are not unconscious fools. Was there anyone who was still indifferent even after noticing the facial expressions of Lu Yao and the First Branch Elder?

What Lu Ming said was more or less the truth.

At that moment, almost everyone had different expressions in their eyes as they looked towards Lu Yao and the First Branch Elder.

Supplying blood to the meridians and releasing it later on was a taboo in the martial arts world as it was considered completely shameless.

“Lu Yunxiong!”

At that moment, the seven Core Elders were staring at the First Branch Elder with disappointment in their eyes.

The oldest Core Elder was furious. “Lu Yunxiong, as the First Branch Elder, how dare you do something shameless?! How can you face our ancestors? How can we convince the public if you want to continue holding the position of First Branch Elder?

“The Council of Elders hereby announces that Lu Yunxiong will be removed from his position as First Branch Elder today! The order to refer to Lu Yao as the Ruler of the Lu Family will also be canceled!”

"What's? You want to revoke my position as a First Branch Elder? You are really going to give up my status for someone as insignificant as Lu Ming? You should remember that Lu Yao already has a marriage bond with the Duanmu Family!” The First Branch Elder shouted when he mentioned the Duanmu Family.

Duanmu Qing wore an unpleasant expression on his face as he looked at the seven Core Elders. “It would be wise for you to think about this well. Since Lu Yao has a marriage bond with the Duanmu Family, allowing him to take over the Lu Family is the greatest honor you can give to your own family. Your family may be prosperous in the future if you do that, but what you are doing right now is just digging your own grave.”

Duanmu Qing's words caused a change to the expressions of the seven Core Elders, as well as every other member of the Lu Family.

They could fire Lu Yao and the First Branch Elder, but they had to pay attention to the Duanmu Family supporting Lu Yao.

Since the Duanmu Family is so mighty, obliterating the Lu Family is as easy as throwing a coin for a large family in the Mystic Sword Sect.

However, in this situation, if they let Lu Yao succeed as the Family Lord, or even assist Lu Yao in dealing with Lu Ming, they would be able to do so, The Lu family would definitely be the target of all the jokes in Fire Wind City, or even every city.

How can they choose?

Clap it! Clap it! Clap it!

Mu Lan suddenly stood up while clapping her hands. “How pertinent is it, Duanmu Qing! Do you think you can represent the Duanmu Family? Or maybe your Duan Family could represent the Mystic Sword Sect? Stop pretending to be something you are not. I want you to know that the Lu Family is under my supervision. I want to see the capabilities of the Duanmu Family!”

“Mu Lan, you... Are you sure you want to get involved in this?” Duanmu Qing's expression changed.

“I'm sure!” Mu Lan shouted out loudly.

"Senior Sir!"

Before Duanmu Qing could reply, Lu Yao cut him off. “Senior Duanmu, I am willing to join the White Tiger Hall. There is no point in living in a family like the Lu Family!” she said.

Duanmu Qing's eyes twinkled as he smiled. "Not bad! With a family like Lus spread over the area of a single palm, there was no point staying! With Miss Lu Yao's talent, you should be eyeing the entire Blazing Sun Empire or a stage wider than that!” she said.

Lu Yao nodded and turned his head towards Lu Ming whose voice was ice-cold as he said, “Lu Yao, if you have the ability to do so, you should kill me today. Otherwise, someday, I will repay the shame you gave me today tenfold!”

“The shame I brought you?”

Lu Ming started laughing. “That's funny! Everything that happens is because of your own actions. Would today have happened if you hadn't plucked out my blood meridian?” she said.

“Lu Yao, I will not finish you. I'd like you to witness for yourself what you're saying - that there's an insurmountable difference between you and me.

“As for Duanmu Lin, whom you call a prodigy, there will be a day where you will watch with your own eyes as I step on him to the ground. Now, go.”

Lu Ming sheathed his sword after his confident and resolute voice echoed throughout the field.

“Lu Ming, there is still a long time, wait for me. Father, you should come to the Mystic Sword Sect with me with Brother!” Lu Yao's cold voice sounded.

Duanmu Qing put on a cold expression as he looked at Lu Ming with a hostile attitude. “Only with you, Lu Ming? You can't even compare it to a single finger belonging to Duanmu Lin. I hope you don't join the Mystic Sword Sect, or you will understand how foolish and arrogant your words are today. Let's go!"

Roars!

With the departure of Lu Yao and the others, the events of the day were finally over.

Although the young children from the Lu Family had yet to start the tournament, no one had really noticed.

Today's events are full of twists and turns, and things have become very different from everyone's expectations.

Most people originally thought that the star today was Lu Yao.

They thought that as a genius, he would become the Ruler of the Lu Family with more than enough qualifications and pass down the success story.

However, things turned out to be very different because one person—Lu Ming—which was the real star back then.

“Alright, Lu Ming, you are domineering and confident. Why don't you come and join the Vermillion Bird Hall and exterminate the genius they call Duanmu Lin in the future?” Mu Lan suggested as she clapped her hands with an unseen admiration on her face.

He then added, “However, I will not agree to any terms you create. As a martial artist, you have to rely on yourself to get everything.”

Everyone is silent. No one invited such a person! Would anyone accept an invitation like that?

However, Lu Ming's response made everyone even more agape. “Hall Master Mu, I promise to join the Vermillion Bird Hall,” he agreed to it with a nod.

The main reason he had promised Mu Lan was to thank her for her help.

Moreover, he wanted to join a powerful sect to grow crops because there would be more resources within a sect.

The Mystical Sword Sect was the gathering place of the prodigies from around 2,000 cities to the east of the Blazing Sun Kingdom. Only by racing against the other geniuses to become the top in the middle of such a vast stage would Lu Ming be able to advance even further on the path of martial arts.

After all, hiding in a corner would never result in a great feat.

"Good job!" Mu Lan was overjoyed. Everyone thought Lu Ming did not have a blood meridian, but he had already sensed the meridian power within him before.

Would the Vermillion Bird Hall experience change if a prodigy like her joined the hall?

“Lu Ming, the only thing I can guarantee after you join the Mystical Sword Sect is that the elders of the Duanmu Family will not dare to deal with you blatantly. However, for the younger generation of the Duanmu Family, you will have to rely on yourself.”

With a wave of his hand, a jade credential flew towards Lu Ming. “Lu Ming, proceed to Vermillion Bird Hall with this jade credential in two months. You will be able to join Vermillion Bird Hall.” soon

There was a realistic vermillion bird engraved on the jade plate.

“Thank you, Mr Hall Mu!” Lu Ming clenched his fists and kept the jade plate.

That's enough. As long as the elders of the Duanmu Family did not move, that was enough.

If he couldn't even fight against the young group of your Duan Family, what was the point of developing martial arts?

“Heh. I will wait for you in the Mystic Sword Sect, Lu Ming!” Mu Lan smiled sweetly as she got up from her seat and left the Lu Family training ground.

“Lu Ming, we welcome you to join the Mystical Sword Sect and we hope you will become a powerhouse in your generation.” Gao Shi and Tie Zhong rose up in succession to congratulate Lu Ming.

“Thank you, my two seniors. I'm sorry for not choosing Azure Dragon Hall and Onyx Tortoise Hall today.” Lu Ming saluted.

“Haha, it's okay!” Gao Shi smiled.

Lu Ming's attitude made them feel at ease.

Both have the same thoughts in their minds. ‘Lu Ming not only has incredible pent-up abilities, but he is also humble and honest. He will definitely succeed in the future.'

“See you at the Mystic Sword Sect, Lu Ming!” Liu Qian smiled.

Gao Shi, Tie Zhong, and Liu Qian started to leave the area with their respective groups as they were no longer in the mood to watch the other young children of the Lu Family.

The Lu family had lost its spirit with the departure of the hall envoy, so the closing ceremony was also done in haste.

However, today's events were destined to electrify the entire Fire Wind City.

Lu Ming's reputation would also cause a commotion in Fire Wind City. However, that would be the reputation of a prodigy.
