Danzun War God

Chapter Thirty-Two: Reunion

Having massacred the Nangong family, the Lu family faced pressure from all the families, large and small, in Muyun City, and refused to admit it. However, Lu Taikang felt extremely guilty about what Lu Hongyuan had done, and subsequently left Muyun City with his eldest son, Lu Hongsheng. Lu Hongyuan took over as the head of the family, but their departure was rumored to be an escape from punishment, which ironically confirmed their status as the murderers.

After Lu Hongsheng finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought. Then Han Qi asked, "So my mother is Nangong Shanshan. How did she die? Was she also killed by Lu Hongyuan? My father has never mentioned a word about my mother."

Lu Hongsheng slowly said, "That's right, Nangong Shanshan is your mother. Before I left Muyun City, she was too heartbroken by the extermination of the Nangong family and suffered from postpartum depression. She passed away before your third brother was even a month old."

Chen Wei, still glaring angrily, said, "Then how can you prove you didn't flee to avoid punishment?"

Lu Hongsheng smiled and said, "I have no need to lie. Killing you is not difficult for me, so I don't need to deceive you."

Lin Yuyao said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Brother Qi and Chen Wei are actually brothers. What a coincidence!"

Han Qi said with an extremely serious expression, "Then how do you explain your conspiracy with Lu Hongyuan to destroy our Han family?"

Lu Hongsheng was furious and said fiercely, "I am the eldest son of the Lu family. Logically, I should have succeeded to the position of head of our Lu family. But after Lu Hongyuan's incident, I have no interest in the position of head of the Lu family anymore. So when my father was traveling around, I chose to go with him. I never expected that I would stay here at Ningcui Peak."

After finishing his sentence, Lu Hongsheng paused and continued, "This time, Lu Hongsheng wants to use the power of my Xuantian Sect to destroy your Han family. You are truly unrepentant. Then I will uphold justice and do what my father did not do back then: clean house."

After saying that, Lu Hongsheng suddenly clutched his head and said in pain, "Oh no, the ghoul's spirit is taking over my body again. You should leave now to avoid getting hurt."

Han Qi immediately shot out a golden primordial spirit power from his eyes, which entered Lu Hongsheng's life palace through Lu Hongsheng's eyes. At this time, there were two primordial spirit dojos in Lu Hongsheng's life palace. The two primordial spirits were fighting. One primordial spirit was completely black, with fiery red eyes, fangs, and a ferocious face. It was the ghoul that Lu Hongsheng had mentioned. Obviously, the other one was Lu Hongsheng's primordial spirit.

Between the two primordial spirit dojos, profound energy surged, but the vortex of profound energy from the ghoul's primordial spirit clearly overwhelmed Lu Hongsheng's. Judging from this situation, Lu Hongsheng would soon be defeated. Han Qi's primordial spirit power descended upon the ghoul like a blazing fire. Instantly, the ghoul's body was corroded, and its black skin peeled off layer by layer. Smoke billowed from its body, accompanied by screams, as it fled into the depths of its life palace.

Han Qi withdrew his primordial spirit power. Because Han Qi's primordial spirit was not strong enough, rashly using his primordial spirit power to injure the ghoul's primordial spirit had greatly depleted Han Qi's physical strength. At this moment, Han Qi's face was slightly pale. He immediately took a Qi-boosting pill, closed his eyes, and slowly regulated his body.

After Lu Hongsheng recovered, seeing Han Qi's condition, he immediately understood that the fire in his life palace was Han Qi's primordial spirit power. He was filled with disbelief and excitedly said, "Han Qi, your primordial spirit power actually contains extreme yang fire! Now I am saved! Please, young hero Han, lend me a hand and save me. I am a grateful person and will never let you suffer any loss."

Han Qi smiled slightly and said, "As you can see, my primordial spirit power is not strong enough to completely kill the ghoul's primordial spirit. Besides, your Lu family indirectly caused the death of my mother, and now you want to exterminate my entire clan. Our two families have irreconcilable old and new grudges, so I will not save you."

After Han Qi finished speaking, he looked up at Lu Hongsheng and continued, "I saved you just now because I didn't want to fight that ghoul. With our current strength, it would be quite difficult to defeat him."

Lu Hongsheng panicked and immediately said, "I didn't participate in the Lu family's destruction of the Nangong family. This time, my plot to destroy your Han family is to punish Lu Hongyuan, not to truly go against the Han family. How about I deal with Lu Hongyuan first to show my sincerity?"

Han Qi looked at Chen Wei and asked, "Chen Wei, what are your plans?"

Chen Wei said fiercely, "I want to kill Lu Hongyuan with my own hands to avenge my clan." After saying that, he looked at Lu Hongsheng and continued, "In addition, I want to take back the four alchemy pavilions that belong to our Nangong family. What do you think?"

Lu Hongsheng said, "I will bring a group of disciples from our Xuxuan Heavenly Sect to subdue Lu Hongyuan when he is off guard. As for how to settle this grudge, you can decide for yourselves. I have carried the name of exterminating my clan for too long. It is time to reveal the truth to the public."

Han Qi looked around at everyone and said, "Alright, let's do it this way. We'll go back to Muyun City first. You can decide what to do yourself. Also, don't mention to Ancestor Wuji that you've met me."

Lu Hongsheng nodded and got up to leave. Han Qi and Lin Yuyao immediately helped Chen Wei into the stone chamber, and naturally Han Qi used herbal pills to help Chen Wei recover from his injuries.

The next day, the three set off back to Muyun City. Lin Yuyao's cultivation was also at the early stage of the Cave Profound Realm, and all three could fly, making their journey much faster. Thinking about how Han Qi had been gone from Muyun City for over a year, they wondered what Muyun City was like now. Although Han Qi was a reborn Dan Zun, he had an unbreakable blood connection with the Han family, and therefore felt a deep longing for his family in Muyun City.

Ten days later, the group returned to Muyun City. That night, the three of them quietly went to Han Yuanshan's study at the Han family home. Han Qi gently knocked on the door.

At this moment, Han Yuanshan and Han Chen were discussing business matters in the study. When they opened the door and saw Han Qi, Han Yuanshan excitedly pulled Han Qi into the room and said excitedly, "Qi'er, you're finally back."

Han Chen said excitedly, "Big brother, you're finally back!" Thanks to Han Qi's Breakthrough Pill, Han Chen has now reached the early stage of the Cave Profound Realm. Therefore, Han Chen is very grateful to Han Qi for helping him without holding a grudge.

Han Yuanshan looked at Han Qi, who had once been considered a waste. When he left home, he was at the Body Refinement Realm, but now he was at the seventh level of the Tribulation Manifestation Realm. In just over a year, he had made such a breakthrough, which was simply monstrous. He said from the bottom of his heart, "Qi'er, you have such cultivation at such a young age. You are so promising! Haha, you are indeed worthy of being my son, Han Yuanshan. The younger generation surpasses the older generation. I must celebrate with you properly tomorrow."
