Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 278 Bloodstained

Looking at Lü Ci, who was displaying great power on the field, Lü Qian nodded in agreement. Wasn't he fierce? His Ruyi Jin was like the King of Hell's Decree.

Unlike Lü Qian's attempt to combine Ruyi Jin and Tai Chi Jin, Lü Ci's Ruyi Jin was the traditional style passed down in the Lü family.

It is capricious and unpredictable, as treacherous and cruel as a venomous snake or a ferocious beast, and as obstructive and hindrance as a deep pool or a dense forest. It can both entangle and kill.

The Ruyi Force was fully revealed in Lü Ci's hands. He displayed his skills with ease and freedom, driving the other two old men into perilous situations as if he were toying with a mouse.

If one ignores Lü Ci's appearance, this centenarian would undoubtedly appear as a powerful and righteous master. However, despite his sinister smile, Lü Ci still uttered villainous words.

"Hehehe, you've sincerely offered me gifts, how could I refuse?"

His robes trembled, and the Ruyi Force wrapped around his arms suddenly burst forth, as light and graceful as water sleeves, yet as powerful and heavy as iron chains, strangling towards the necks of the two men.

"Let me teach you a lesson: sometimes people aren't weak from old age, but rather they become more cunning with age."

The iron chains of the King of Hell's Decree were placed around the necks of the two seriously injured old men. Lü Ci snorted coldly, then spun around, his strength, along with the blood, transformed into two red ribbons that fluttered in the sky.

"Hmph, I still need to move around a lot, otherwise I'm afraid my body will rust."

Amidst a rain of blood, Lü Ci, clad in a crimson robe, strolled through the pool of corpses and blood. He did not flinch; the blood falling from his head adorned his robe like clusters of red plum blossoms, their color a deep, almost purplish red.

The pure white soles of his shoes were trampled into the pool of blood without any regard for his own safety, the blood staining the ground like wisps of drifting clouds.

As he walked, Lü Ci, who was originally as wild and unruly as a hermit, suddenly gained a touch of refined elegance.

He walked towards the guests in the hall with steady, unhurried steps, which made the elderly people in the hall laugh.

"Hedgehog Lu, what are you trying to prove with that air of sophistication? It's really hard to get used to."

"Hahaha......"

Amidst the laughter and commotion, Lü Ci rolled his eyes at the onlookers who had come to watch the spectacle, and without retorting, said, "So what if I'm faking it? Aren't my methods swift and skillful?"

"Skilled. That was quite the style of our era."

The elderly men who had been crowding around the doors and windows to watch the spectacle withdrew their long, white hair and beards, but the laughter and chatter did not stop, and they all joined in the cheers and praise.

"snort."

Amidst the laughter and chatter of the crowd, Lü Ci stepped into the hall and gave his orders without turning his head.

"Zhong, clean up these stray dog ​​carcasses and get ready for the feast. It's time to serve the food."

"Yes, Father!"

Lu Zhong, who was standing with Lu Xiao at the entrance of the hall, bowed to Lu Ci's back before leading the men to collect the bodies of Chai Yan and the other two.

Lü Qian led the group of younger members, who were still full of enthusiasm and hadn't had enough, out of the hall. "Alright everyone, it's time for us to find our own seats. They're in the side courtyard. Follow me."

Ultimately, those who can accompany their elders to a banquet are not just ordinary juniors, so they are naturally not intimidated by such a scene.

They are all the future hope of their respective families. They are not only exceptionally talented but also have clever minds. They will need to support each other among their peers in the future.

Just like what Lü Ci said when he mocked Fang Hong of the Seeking Truth Society in the hall, people who have never seen him are just people who are not valued by the older generation.

Back then, the Lu family's birthday banquet was truly a gathering of heroes. Since none of them had been taken by their elders to broaden their horizons, it meant that they were not qualified to associate with the elders.

This birthday banquet at the Lü family's house is not only an opportunity for the older generation of friends to rekindle their passion, but also a chance for the younger generation to exchange ideas.

Inside the hall, the smiles on the faces of the elderly people became even more genuine and simple as they watched their younger disciples heading to the side courtyard.

Wang Ai, leaning on his cane, walked to Lü Ci's side, withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the elderly people with white hair and beards in the room, and said with emotion, "Time really flies. A hundred years is another generation."

"Why are you so sentimental? Lao Luo, I've summoned your fire. Hurry up and stick your spiky hair over here so I can clean it up for you."

"Go to hell, why don't you burn your own?"

An elderly man with slightly reddish skin and a vigorous spirit held a ball of flame in his hand. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll burn mine first. You're not allowed to run away."

As he spoke, his eyes widened, his eyebrows furrowed, and his already reddish face turned even redder. As his anger was revealed, a wisp of smoke rose from the white hair on his head, followed by a flame that ignited his head of white hair, which then burst into flames.

Flames suddenly rose up, engulfing the old man's head, but he seemed not to feel the heat or pain. Instead, he became even more energetic, and flames seemed to appear in his eyes as well.

Flames burned above his head, but they did not ignite his hair. Instead, the frosty white hair reflected the crimson flames, turning into a striking head of red hair.

"Hahaha, Lao Luo, hey hey hey, don't run away!"

"Get lost! Have you been trying too many medicines and your hearing is failing you? When did I ever say I wanted to touch my own hair?"

"I don't care, watch the fire!"

"Go, Hongping, let Lao Luo see the fire magic of your Fire Virtue Sect."

"What are you all making a fuss about... Ah, Hongping!"

……

The hall erupted in even louder laughter than before, mixed with the sound of flames burning hair.

"Hehehe, nothing has changed."

Wang Ai, carrying her cane, walked to Lü Ci's side, watching the farce unfold in the hall with a smile, and then asked Lü Ci a somewhat absurd question.

"Hedgehog, are you really determined to do this this time?"

"The Soul Clarity Technique is the Soul Clarity Technique, and the Eight Extraordinary Techniques are the Eight Extraordinary Techniques; they are not the same."

"It is indeed different, but there is one thing that my Lü family cannot escape."

Lu Ci's smile remained unchanged. The two spoke very softly, their voices barely audible between them. He looked at Wang Ai and said, "What my Lu family has is different from what your Wang family has."

"That thing has already become one with the bloodline of my Lü family. It is both an acquired technique and an innate supernatural power. We are no longer distinguishable from each other."

"It's a debt that my Lü family brought upon ourselves. If we don't settle this debt as soon as possible, it will only snowball and eventually wipe out the entire Lü family."
