Chapter 447
The middle-aged man in the middle glanced at all the Chen Family members present, but his eyes suddenly stopped at Lu Sheng . A strange expression appeared on his face .
"Lu… Chong?" He somehow knew Lu Sheng's name .
Lu Sheng was surprised too .
"You know me?" He was standing in a corner to avoid attention, but now that Zhang Hong called him out by name, everyone shifted their attention to him .
The Chen Family Head was even more overjoyed . If they knew each other, maybe they could give the Chen Family a pass as a favor for Lu Sheng . He still felt a last shred of hope .
"As a member of the Four Guardian Families, you are one of the few heirs of the Lu Family . Not only do I know you, I also know your brother Lu Quan and your sister Lu Zhenling," Zhang Hong said flatly . "What? Does your presence mean that the Lu Family wants a hand in this?"
Zhang Hong was baffled too . The Four Guardian Families had survived for millennia, and every one of them was an ancient and powerful family . Each also closely guarded its own mysterious traditions and powers .
He didn't expect to encounter a direct heir of Lu Family, another one of the Four Guardian Families, during his bloodline retrieval mission .
Even though the Lu Family was never famed for their martial arts prowess, they were rumored to be very proficient at bonding with Protectors . That alone necessitated caution . After all, Protectors weren't only for fighting evil spirits .
Not long ago, the news spread among his family that someone from the Lu Family left to travel the world . He didn't expect to meet him so soon .
'It's that Zhang Family…' Lu Sheng finally found a piece of Lu Chong's childhood memory . The Zhang Family, the Ling Family, the Qiu Family, as well as his own Lu Family were the so-called Four Guardian Families . Lu Chong even visited those families before when he was little; he just didn't know there was a collective name for them .
He didn't expect to meet a member of the Zhang Family during his mission to find the Universal Ward Column in the hidden ground .
According to Lu Chong's memories, the Four Guardian Families lived in relative peace, and never bothered each other . It was an equal but competitive relationship .
It seemed that the other three families also had their own strange and mysterious parts .
"Lu Chong, you must know how important all things bloodline-related are to the Zhang Family . Even if it's you…" Zhang Hong said in a low voice .
Lu Sheng was truly not interested in that . He immediately found a new direction after realizing all three families Lu Chong visited when he was little had their own secret .
"The Lu Family is not interested in your crap, but I do want to ask you about one thing . Do you know if there is a hidden ground around here?" he directly asked .
As soon as those words left his mouth, the three men's faces turned livid .
"How did you find out about the hidden ground!?" Zhang Hong's expression was filled with caution, and he instantly unsheathed the hook sword made out of some kind of black metal .
"Hm? You actually do know about it?" Lu Sheng's eyes brightened . He knew he asked the right person . Ju Yan told him about the hidden ground, and he only thought it was just simply hidden . But now, seeing the Zhang Family's reaction, he realized it might not be as simple as that .
"Lu Chong, you must know that delving into other families' biggest secrets is an absolute taboo!!" Zhang Hong said in a cold voice . "You'd better forget about it right now, or else… the Zhang Family will not allow you to leave this city alive!
"Even your father would not be able to protect you then!"
Lu Sheng blanked out for a second .
"Biggest secret?" He was increasingly sure that this hidden ground Ju Yan wanted him to find was the Zhang Family's closely guarded secret .
"Do you know the location?" he asked again .
"I already told you, forget about it . Lu Chong, do you want to provoke a war between the Zhang Family and the Purple Smoke Villa?" Zhang Hong said sternly .
"War?" Lu Sheng laughed .
"What if I said I'm determined to go?" He raised his right hand, and turned his palm up . Slivers of the invisible Spiritual Power spread out, and surrounded his hand like mist .
The rest of the men present couldn't see the Spiritual Power, but Zhang Hong and his two companions could sense the waves of it .
"Then don't blame me…" Zhang Hong's face turned serious, and he was about to raise his hand .
Instantly, a torrent of unbelievably powerful Spiritual Power diffused around Lu Sheng like wildfire .
"Boom!!!"
A shapeless storm centered around Lu Sheng exploded in all directions .
Zhang Hong was forced to retreat backward . The horrifying pressure emitted by the Spiritual Power almost stopped his heart . Even though they didn't have any way to bind with Protectors, they still cultivated a sort of mutated Spiritual Qi . He, too, could feel the immensely powerful pressure Lu Sheng's Spiritual Power exerted .
"Is… is that?!" The three men's eyes opened so wide their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets . They felt as if an immense pressure was pushing from in front of them, suppressing the Hundred-Spirit Qi within their body .
"This level of Spiritual Power… you… what Protector did you bound with! How…" One of the men even sounded like he forgot how to speak .
"Puff!"
Another man behind Zhang Hong finally succumbed to the pressure and spewed out a mouthful of blood . The Hundred-Spirit Qi within his body was pulled in by the horrifying flow of Spiritual Power, and had gone completely haywire . He was severely wounded before he even made a move, and collapsed onto the ground .
