Strongest Medical Saint

Regarding Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong's persistence.

In the eyes of the other people in the City Lord's Mansion, it was simply foolish. Taking advantage of the absence of Lu Wansheng and others, they left without any reluctance.

When Lu Guangwen arrived at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, he found that the entire mansion was already empty. Of course, his wife and some other female family members did stay, anxiously waiting in the hall at the moment!

Seeing the arriving Lu Guangwen.

Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong hurried over; they were the ones who had just sent a sound transmission to Lu Guangwen.

"Family Head, why did you interfere with the matter of the Eighteenth Prince? Our Lu Family is going against the Royal Family of the Illusory Flame Kingdom, which is like throwing an egg against a rock!" said Lu Yixiang with a deep frown.

He and Lu Yuanhong's positions within the Lu Family were second only to Lu Guangwen. Apart from Lu Guangwen and a few others, they were the only ones in the entire Lu Family who knew that Lu Xiangfu's life force had been locked by the Life-Locking Stone.

Lu Yuanhong also immediately said, "Family Head, I heard that the death of the Eighteenth Prince is actually not much related to our Lu Family. This matter could have been handled very properly, so why did it end up with this outcome?"

"The Great Elder and I chose to stay because, after all, we have the blood of the Lu Family running through our veins. Furthermore, all of our children are striving in places outside of Spirit Water City. Otherwise, we would not have had the determination to still be standing here today. We were already planning to contact our children immediately to let them live incognito from now on."

Years ago, the Lu Family made a decision to have the Lu Family control more than just Spirit Water City in the future.

To be clear, the children of Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong, among others, were sent out to pave the way for the Lu Family or, in other words, to help establish new territory for the Lu Family.

If the children of these two were all in the City Lord's Mansion, perhaps they would not have been so resolute in their decision to stay.

Lu Guangwen was not angry with the attitudes of Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong; however, he was quite furious with those who left without saying goodbye. After all, shouldn't they at least say farewell before leaving? The former City Lord's Mansion had treated these people very well!

It seemed that even if this incident had not happened, if the City Lord's Mansion were to face a great disaster in the future, these people would definitely choose to leave without hesitation.

Lu Guangwen sneered inwardly, thinking these people were truly short-sighted. The ancestor of the Lu Family was about to be awakened, and with the Carefree Immortal Emperor as their backing, the Illusory Flame Kingdom was nothing to be afraid of.

He was very pleased with the actions of Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong. This incident showed that, at the very least, these two old men were willing to die for the Lu Family. He considered whether to take them to meet the Carefree Immortal Emperor, but such a matter had to be approved by the Carefree Immortal Emperor first.

"Great Elder, Second Elder, there's no need to be so anxious. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Now, follow me!"

Having said that.

Lu Guangwen dashed towards the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion, and after exchanging a glance, Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong also followed, having already decided to live and die with the Lu Family. However, deep down they felt that Lu Guangwen and the others had made a mistake this time; of all the people to offend, why had it to be the Illusory Flame Kingdom?

When they arrived at the entrance leading to the underground chamber.

Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong were filled with astonishment; they obviously knew what this place was.

"Family Head, why have you brought us here?" asked Lu Yixiang.

While the matter of the Carefree Immortal Emperor could not be disclosed, perhaps a few words about the ancestor Lu Xiangfu could be mentioned. Lu Guangwen replied, "Great Elder, Second Elder, I can tell you clearly that our ancestor will soon awaken from his slumber."

"You must have seen the ancient records in the Lu Family, which detail the cultivation of our ancestor. Once the ancestor awakens, even if the Illusory Flame Kingdom wants to take action against our Lu Family, they will have to think twice!"

What?

The ancestor Lu Xiangfu is about to awaken?

Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong had not anticipated this at all, their faces instantly filled with shock, their eyes brimming with disbelief, their breathing becoming hurried.

After being stunned for quite some time, joy then emerged on their faces.

They were well aware of the ancestor's cultivation; if the ancestor could awaken, then the Lu Family had a high possibility of overcoming this crisis.

Why would the ancestor, who had been sleeping all along, suddenly want to awaken?

In their hearts, filled with excitement and just when they wanted to ask about this doubt, Lu Guangwen spoke first, "Great Elder, Second Elder, please wait for me above for a while, I will be back shortly."

Whether they could bring the two of them down to the stone chamber below at this moment still needed to be decided by the Carefree Immortal Emperor.

Watching Lu Guangwen's departing figure as he descended underground.

Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong were constantly calming their emotions, the surprise had come so suddenly that they were unable to accept it for a time.

After a long while.

Lu Yixiang took a deep breath and said, "Truly, the heavens bless our Lu Family! As long as the ancestor awakens, our Lu Family will soon rise in the Lower Realm."

After Lu Yuanhong nodded, he pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Even if the ancestor is to awaken, that's not a reason to provoke the Illusory Flame Kingdom! The awakening of the ancestor should have nothing to do with this matter. Is this the explanation from the Family Head?"

Upon hearing this.

The excitement in Lu Yixiang's heart was subdued somewhat, and his brow furrowed again, even if the Lu Family could avoid disaster due to the ancestor's awakening, it couldn't cover up the wrong decision made by Lu Guangwen and the others this time.

Seven minutes later.

Lu Guangwen emerged from underground, right as he reached the stone chamber below.

Shen Feng was getting more proficient with the Silkworm Stripping Hand technique, stripping away the chill in Lu Xiangfu's body more and more smoothly, his tensed nerves also relaxed slightly, and he even sensed Lu Guangwen's hesitant presence three meters away.

Following that, he naturally asked a question.

After Lu Guangwen briefly explained the whole situation, Shen Feng also agreed to let Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong come here.

Lu Guangwen knew this was equivalent to Shen Feng agreeing to reveal his identity as the Carefree Immortal Emperor to Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong, so he immediately returned to the surface once more.

"Great Elder, Second Elder, I just went down to seek instruction from someone. Only after obtaining his consent, is it possible for me to disclose his identity to you. It is also because of him that we intervened in the matter of the Eighteenth Prince being killed. You must prepare yourselves mentally, for every word I say next is the truth, all of which has been verified. Moreover, the reason the ancestor can awaken is also because of this person," Lu Guangwen said slowly.

Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong became even more puzzled, they had heard that the person who killed the Eighteenth Prince was just a Golden Core Stage youth, could the person mentioned by Lu Guangwen be that youngster's senior? Could it be a powerhouse from one of the top sects in the Lower Realm?

As they were ready to listen attentively.

Lu Guangwen spoke again: "This person is the Carefree Immortal Emperor, the legendary figure, the Carefree Immortal Emperor. Our Lu Family and the Carefree Immortal Emperor..."

He quickly went through the connection between the Lu Family and Shen Feng.

After listening.

Lu Yixiang felt dizzy and his body began to wobble uncontrollably, his face was a spectacle of emotions, and with a trembling voice he said, "Second Elder, help me out, I feel like the entire world is spinning."

But Lu Yuanhong didn't fare any better than Lu Yixiang; he, too, couldn't stand steadily.

As Lu Yixiang reached out to steady himself, the moment he was touched, he directly slumped to the ground.

Lu Guangwen went to support him, but it was already a step too late.

"Thud! Thud!" two sounds.

These two elders sat on the ground like stupefied chickens, as if they were fools.

If the ancestor Lu Xiangfu's awakening was a surprise they could barely accept, then the sudden, huge surprise of the Carefree Immortal Emperor being in their City Lord's Mansion was something their frail hearts simply couldn't handle! They both felt as if their hearts had stopped!
