Chapter 1643: Devastating News!
"You two, why must you stay behind and cause trouble for me..."
Jiang Feng watched as Feng Yueji, Demoness, and others descended the mountain, helplessly addressing Shangguan Wan’er and Dong Ruyan.
"Who’s causing trouble for you, what are you talking about!"
The two women responded simultaneously, glaring at him with a look of indignation.
Jiang Feng sighed helplessly.
He knew reasoning with these two wouldn’t work, so he simply let them stay.
At that moment, he turned and headed back to the villa, followed angrily by Shangguan Wan’er and Dong Ruyan.
...
Meanwhile, Lu Hao was driving a Lamborghini Urus, leaving Yanchi Villa in a state of madness.
He even forgot to call Duanmu Zhe, merely relying on instinct to drive toward the Lu Family in Capital City.
The Lu Family in Capital City was considered a prominent family, hovering around the third line, bordering the second line.
The truly high-tier families were those of the Ying Family, while families below the first line were like the Duanmu Family.
As a vassal of a vassal, the Lu Family held a fairly respectable position.
At that moment, in the Lu Family’s council hall, the Family Head, Lun Genshuo, was gathering all the core members to discuss major issues.
"Do you think this time, with Haohao teaming up with the other five families, leading their forces and masters to Jiangdong, to exterminate that minor Jiang fellow, will it go smoothly?"
Lun Genshuo looked around at all the family members and asked.
"Clan Leader, it certainly will!"
An elder of the same generation as Lun Genshuo said, "I really can’t imagine how a mere local fellow could provoke the Duanmu Family so much, it’s even rumored that it has alarmed Ying Zheng of the Ying Family - truly unbelievable!"
"However, with our Six Families mobilizing in such a grand manner, even dispatching the core elites from each family to obliterate that Jiang, it should be a piece of cake. He’s likely already been dismembered by now!"
Upon hearing this, Lun Genshuo nodded in agreement and said, "Hmm, that’s my estimation too. Aside from other families, I’ve sent the Four Great Vajra to assist Haohao! Those Four Great Vajra have been the pinnacle of battle strength in the Lu Family for years, they’ll absolutely handle this!"
"I’m just waiting for Haohao to come back with good news. After this event, the Lu Family will be further aligned with the Duanmu Family, and thus tied with the Ying Family. In the future, we’ll share in their glory..."
Currently, everyone in Capital City knows that the Ying Family is the paramount family.
And it’s a certainty that Ying Zheng will ascend to the throne!
All those serving under the command of the Ying Family will rise to great heights, and the current situation will be reshuffled.
Of course, it doesn’t mean the Ying Family is absolutely unrivaled.
Among the high-tier families, apart from the Ying Family, there are still a few that can barely threaten its position.
But in recent years, aside from the Ying Family thriving, those other families have stagnated or experienced turmoil, gradually being overshadowed by the Ying Family.
This has led to the Ying Family’s rise to dominance.
"I must say, the Clan Leader was insightful back in the day, letting our Haohao spare no effort in cozying up to Duanmu Zhe. Duanmu Zhe is Ying Zheng’s brother, leveraging the power of an advantageous turn, to affiliate with the Ying Family tree, it’s made our status in Capital City rise accordingly..." another elder praised with flattery.
This remark immediately drew more compliments from the room: "That goes without saying, that’s foresight! Otherwise, how could Brother Genshuo be our Clan Leader?"
"With Brother Genshuo at the helm, the Lu Family will surely prosper and flourish..."
Lun Genshuo sat at the Family Head’s chair, listening to his family members’ praises, feeling buoyant, even his beard was raised.
At that moment, suddenly a servant rushed in, reporting urgently, "Family Head, there’s bad news! The young master, he’s back!"
"Haohao’s return is bad news?! Do you know how to speak!"
Lun Genshuo frowned upon hearing this, then laughed heartily, "I anticipated Haohao’s triumphant return, just didn’t expect him to be quicker than I figured!"
Saying this, he waved his hand, standing up directly, ready to greet the family’s hero with his peers!
But the servant, seeing the commanding Lun Genshuo, insisted, "Family Head! The young master seems... really off! He looks like... he’s been terrified by something, and he’s acting crazily! Our family’s elite forces, even the Four Great Vajra, haven’t returned with him... he drove the car alone, and crashed into quite a few of our people at the entrance..."
"What did you say?!"
Lun Genshuo was suddenly stunned, realizing he might have been hasty!
"Repeat that! What happened to Haohao?!"
"Family Head! It’s absolutely true! The young master returned in madness, his appearance is as if... as if scared out of his wits!" the servant was drenched in cold sweat.
As soon as he finished speaking, while Lun Genshuo and the others were bewildered, they heard the screeching roar of an engine, and Lu Hao charged in with the car recklessly, nearly crashing into the council hall!
Lun Genshuo and the rest frantically backed away, and only when the car’s engine failed and forced it to stop, they rushed to surround him!
Lun Genshuo called out anxiously, "Haohao, Haohao!! What happened to you? Why are you like this?!"
Lu Hao staggered out of the car.
And after taking a few steps, he toppled over.
The Lu Family high-command was shocked!
Everyone edged closer, while Lun Genshuo cradled him in his arms, urgently asked, "Haohao, what happened, tell me quickly!! Where’s the rest of our family? Where are the Four Great Vajra?! Why do you have blood on you, what exactly happened?!"
"Grandfather, they’re dead... they’re all dead..."
Lu Hao lay in his grandfather’s arms, finally feeling like he woke up from a nightmarish shock, wailing, "That Jiang fellow isn’t even human, he’s a Devil, a Devil!!!"
Lun Genshuo was stunned!
He widened his eyes, trembling, stammering, "What did you say? Our Lu Family’s people are all dead? Even the Four Great Vajra are..."
"Not just the Lu Family..."
Lu Hao, consumed with fear, said, "The other five families, they’re all done for! I’m the only survivor, and that Jiang’s purpose in sparing me was to bring the message to Duanmu Zhe, he said he will come to Capital City and kill Duanmu Zhe..."
Boom!!!
This statement shocked everyone else besides Lun Genshuo!
The situation was not only entirely different from what they expected, but also subverted all expectations!
The fellow, originally thought to be butchered, unexpectedly survived and annihilated the Six Families’ forces, and even put out a message to uproot the trees behind them?!
