Script of Reincarnation

Meanwhile, in an elegant seven story pavilion a little over one hundred meters away from Madam Shu’s residence, several figures stood quietly before an open window.

Rain fell endlessly outside.

From this height, the entire battlefield below could be seen clearly.

Every clash, movement, and eruption of Blood Qi, everything was visible; nothing escaped their eyes.

If any ordinary clan member entered this room and saw the identities of the people gathered here, they would probably be so frightened that they wouldn’t even be able to stand properly.

It was because the people present represented nearly the highest authority in the entire Lu Family.

The Family Head, the Great Elder, the Internal Affairs Grand Elder, the True Teaching Grand Elder, and the Law Enforcement Grand Elder.

Aside from the mysterious Supreme Elder who rarely appeared, these were the strongest figures in the clan.

If the External Affairs Grand Elder were still alive, he likely would have been among these people as well.

At this moment, however, none of them were paying attention to each other.

Their gazes were fixed on the battle below.

*Boom!*

A powerful explosion erupted outside as Lu Yang’s fist collided with Lu Tianhe’s palm once more, the resulting shockwave shattering another section of stone pavement.

The Internal Affairs Grand Elder, who had just brought the results of the investigation back, silently watched for a few moments before finally shifting his gaze toward the Family Head.

His expression was somewhat heavy as he asked, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"

The room immediately became quiet, with only the sound of the rainstorm above and the clashing of Blood Qi constantly echoing below.

The other Grand Elders also turned toward the Family Head.

Even though nobody said anything further, everyone understood what the Internal Affairs Grand Elder truly meant.

If Lu Yang truly accomplished what he intended to do, the consequences that would inevitably follow...

Rain tapped softly against the wooden window.

The Family Head remained silent for several moments, his eyes fixated on the battle below.

Eventually, he spoke calmly.

"I already visited her, I wanted to hear her explanation personally."

His gaze darkened slightly.

"Unfortunately..."

A faint sigh escaped his lips.

"She has already stepped onto a path of no return."

The expressions of the various Grand Elders changed slightly.

The Family Head slowly closed his eyes.

"When she first arranged those assassination attempts years ago, I gave her a chance. When she continued harboring resentment afterward, I gave her another chance. Even when she humiliated herself and the family before the Marquis Manor, I still gave her a chance!"

His voice gradually grew colder with each sentence

"But this time..."

The Family Head opened his eyes once more.

The calmness within them was extremely frightening.

"She crossed a line she should never have crossed; I no longer intend to protect her."

Complete silence descended in the room, and even the sound of rain seemed distant.

The Grand Elders exchanged glances with uncertainty, yet nobody questioned his decision.

Everyone understood the implications behind those words.

If Lu Tianhe lost, Madam Shu would die, and when that happened, the relationship between the Lu Family and the Shu Marquis Manor would almost certainly fracture.

The Great Elder frowned, "The Marquis Manor may not accept it."

The Family Head snorted coldly.

"The Shu Marquis Manor failed to educate their daughter properly."

His voice carried immense authority as he spoke.

"If they still choose to oppose us after learning the truth, then let them."

A powerful aura briefly flashed through his body, causing the surrounding air to instantly became heavier.

"My Lu Family is not some weak clan that can be bullied at will; It’s not as if we have no one!"

Saying this, he looked down again, following the figure dominating the battle below.

Everyone followed his gaze.

Below them, Lu Yang continued advancing relentlessly.

Each of his steps carried immense pressure, and each blow forced Lu Tianhe further backward.

A strange anticipation gradually emerged within the hearts of the gathered Grand Elders.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the Lu Family truly had a chance.

A chance that had never existed before in nearly two centuries.

With Lu Yang’s talent...

The legendary Essence Gathering Realm might no longer be an impossible dream.

...

Outside, the battle continued raging on.

*Boom!*

Another collision erupted.

Lu Tianhe staggered backward several steps.

His breathing had become rough, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

His arms were completely numb, and every muscle in his body screamed in pain.

The pressure exerted by Lu Yang had become increasingly terrifying.

It was like facing an endless tidal wave. No matter how desperately he resisted, the next wave would arrive immediately afterward.

Forget fighting back, there wasn’t even any opportunity to breathe and recover.

At this moment, Lu Tianhe finally understood that the gap between them was not something effort alone could overcome.

It was the difference between standing on the same mountain and standing beneath it.

However, he still refused to retreat!

Behind him stood his mother, after all!

*Bang!*

Lu Tianhe blocked another punch, his entire arm trembling violently, clearly having ruptured several muscles.

Before he could stabilize himself, Lu Yang suddenly stepped forward.

His waist twisted, his shoulder rotating as a fist shot out like a cannonball!

Too fast!

Lu Tianhe’s pupils contracted.

Instinctively, he attempted to defend.

Unfortunately, his body could not keep up with his thoughts.

*Boom!*

The punch landed directly against his chest.

The terrifying force exploded instantly, shattering several ribs as blood sprayed from Lu Tianhe’s mouth.

His body transformed into a projectile, flying toward the mansion behind him like a broken kite.

*Crash!*

The gates behind him exploded apart, splintering into fragments.

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

Several walls collapsed consecutively, dust and debris shooting into the sky.

The spectators gasped at the immense destruction.

The entire battlefield had become unrecognizable.

Within a radius exceeding ten meters, almost nothing remained intact.

Broken stone, collapsed walls, scattered rubble, blood mixed with rainwater; even the torrential rain could not completely wash away the traces of the battle.

At the center of it all stood Lu Yang, his chest rising and falling steadily as Blood Qi continued circulated throughout his body.

However, having defeated who had supposedly been his greatest rival since childhood, and so utterly, he felt no since of accomplishment whatsoever, his expression unchanged.

He was clearly in no mood to celebrate.

Step by step, he began to advance toward the mansion, not even sparing a glance at the fallen figure buried within the rubble.

Behind him, Lu Tianhe struggled to rise.

His fingers dug deep into the broken ground, his vision gradually blurring. His body no longer obeyed him.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Lu Yang walked past.

A trace of unwillingness flashed through his eyes before darkness swallowed his consciousness completely.

At this moment, the surroundings became strangely quiet.

No one, not even a single person, dared to stop Lu Yang, only watching him head deeper and deeper inside the mansion in complete silence until his figure gradually disappeared.

Just as he approached the entrance leading into the grand hall of the residence, his footsteps suddenly halted.

For the first time since arriving here, Lu Yang’s expression changed slightly.

He slowly turned his head, looking to his side.

Not far away, standing beneath the rain was an old man, watching him quietly.

He had white hair and a long, white beard. Despite his aged appearance, he stood as firm as an ancient pine tree. His presence felt completely ordinary, yet somehow, it was impossible to ignore.

The moment Lu Yang saw him, his pupils contracted slightly.

Rain fell between them with soft sounds as several moments passed in silence.

Before long, Lu Yang finally spoke, his voice as calm as ever.

"Supreme Elder, are you here to stop me as well?"

The old man looked at him quietly before gently shaking his head.

"No."

His voice was soft and calm, without the slightest hint of pressure.

The Supreme Elder stroked his beard lightly, his eyes seeming to be capable of seeing through everything, looking directly at Lu Yang.

"Tell me, do you think it is worth it?"

Lu Yang remained silent at the question.

The old man continued, "If you kill her today, will your parents return?"

Several breaths passed in absolute silence.

Then, Lu Yang slowly shook his head.

"No."

There was not the slightest uncertainty or hesitation in his voice.

The Supreme Elder nodded slightly.

"Then why?"

Lu Yang raised his gaze.

For the first time since arriving here, emotions surfaced clearly within his eyes, a mix of complex emotions impossible to describe.

"I know they won’t come back."

His voice was hoarse as he spoke.

"But if I allow their killer to continue living..."

He slowly clenched his fists.

"Then how can I face myself? How can I face them?"

The rain continuously struck his face, yet his gaze never wavered, not in the slightest.

"If a cultivator cannot even uphold the most basic justice in his own heart, what right do they have to walk the path of cultivation, and what right do they have to go against heaven!?"

The Supreme Elder just stared at him for several seconds silently.

Then, a very faint look of approval appeared on his old face.

"Good."

He replied with only one word, nothing more, yet somehow, that one word carried immense weight far above anything else.

The Supreme Elder slowly turned around, his figure beginning to walk away through the rain.

With each step, his silhouette gradually became distant, almost as if he was merging with the rain.

Before long, he disappeared completely, leaving without a trace.

Lu Yang stared motionlessly in the direction the old man had left, a hint of clarity returning to his eyes.

For a brief moment, his mind became calm once more.

The Supreme Elder...

The aura he sensed earlier had been extremely faint, but even that faint glimpse was enough.

Spirit Awakening Realm middle stages?

Lu Yang inwardly shook his head at the thought.

Impossible.

That old man was far stronger than the rumors suggested!

At the very least, he was likely in the later stages of the Spirit Awakening Realm, deserving the title of the strongest expert of the Lu Family.

However, those thoughts only briefly lingered in his mind.

Soon enough, Lu Yang withdrew his gaze, turning his gaze toward the main hall once more.

Without another word, his fist shot forward.

*Boom!*

The heavy wooden doors instantly exploded into splinters.

Then, Lu Yang stepped into the hall.
