In Lucheng, Tiansheng Prefecture, in front of the Lu family's cemetery, Liu Yueniang looked at Lu Chaozong's tombstone, and two lines of crystal tears slowly slid down her delicate face.
"Chaozong, I really want to be your wife quietly, fulfill your last wish, and carry forward the Lu family, but I can't do it anymore. If you are still alive, please forgive me."
The reason why she felt so emotional was because her recent situation was so difficult.
As the woman favored by Lu Chaozong, she has extremely strong abilities and at the same time wants to make the declining Lu family bigger and stronger.
Everything went very smoothly at the beginning, and everyone in the Lu family dared not disobey the orders of the new head of the family.
After all, Ye Bufan's remaining power is still there, even the previous head of the family, Lu Chaoyang, was beheaded on the spot, leaving everyone with lingering fears.
Even the Supreme Elder Lu Xiaogong, who was originally in charge of the power, was respectful and obedient, and cooperated unconditionally with all Liu Yueniang's orders.
Not to mention the other forces in Lucheng, Ye Bufan alone drove away the three nine-star sects. No one dared to mess with this power.
Under this situation, Liu Yueniang used her talents to the extreme, and soon the Lu family became stronger and stronger, becoming the strongest weapon-refining family in the entire Tiansheng State, even competing with the weapon-refining masters union.
But the good times did not last long. Ten years ago, the situation of the Lu family began to slowly change.
Human nature is greedy. As the Lu family becomes more and more powerful, no one will remember Liu Yueniang's achievements, but many people will covet this piece of fat.
The first one to bear the brunt is the Lu family. Many people are dissatisfied with a woman taking charge of the family. The most important thing is that Liu Yueniang is still in name only.
Lu Chaozong's nominal wife, they had no children and no real relationship as husband and wife.
Under this situation, many people became cautious, and the powerful Lu clan members began to covet the position of the head of the family.
This is internal, let alone external, many sects are also eyeing the Lu family.
Weapon refiners, like alchemists, are urgently needed resources for all major sects. If the Lu family can be brought under its banner, the entire sect will be greatly enhanced in strength and upgraded to a higher level.
But ideas are ideas. These people are observing in secret and don't dare to act rashly. The reason is very simple. They are all afraid of the man they used to be.
After all, Ye Bufan had said harsh words when he left. He was Liu Yueniang's background. No one dared to act rashly in this situation.
Especially later, he swept across the five continents of Kunlun Continent with his super strength. After standing at the pinnacle of the entire interface, his power reached its peak.
But after he returned to Earth, he ascended there, and there was no news at all here. Many people were trying to figure out why this god-like man suddenly disappeared.
Especially the Lu family and those sects with ulterior motives tried their best to inquire, but as time passed day by day, they did not get any useful information, and Ye Bufan never appeared again.
But even so, they are still wary. After all, for strong men in the tribulation period, it is common for them to stay in seclusion for three to five years, and even for ten to eight years.
But more than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Later, channels were even established on four continents, and people from other interfaces often came and went. At this time, there was still no sign of Ye Bufan, which made many people start to think wrongly.
also
No wonder they couldn't find any news about Ye Bufan, because the names returned from the Holy World of Chaos and even the Immortal World were Immortal Saint Ancestor, and out of respect, few people dared to call him by his name.
Even if there are occasional rumors in private, they all call him Ye Immortal. No one in Kunlun Continent associates him with the man he once was. After all, there are two interfaces.
In this way, these people with ulterior motives gave themselves an answer, that is, Ye Bufan is either not in this interface or is dead.
Liu Yueniang is now completely rootless and has no backer.
After coming to this conclusion, someone quickly took action, and the first person to stand up was Nangong Yun of Ji Jianmen.
More than twenty years ago, he came to help Lu Chaoyang with his boxing skills, but was frightened by Ye Bufan and ran away.
Nowadays, Nangong Yun is completely different. His strength has increased rapidly, and his status in the Jijian Sect has also risen. He has become the great elder. Behind all this is that the ancestor of the Nangong family who has been in seclusion for hundreds of years has come out of seclusion.
Nangong Can, a name that has been forgotten by many people, was famous and powerful in Kunlun Continent a hundred years ago. He was a powerful person in the tribulation period of Jijian Sect.
Later, this old man became the supreme elder of the sect. During the later stages of the Tribulation, he was in seclusion, preparing to reach the peak of the Tribulation, so as to ascend to the immortal world.
However, there was no movement after being in seclusion for a long time, and was gradually forgotten by others.
And just three years ago, Nangong Can suddenly came out of seclusion and reached the peak of transcending the tribulation. What he was waiting for was the final opportunity to overcome the tribulation.
Before his ascension, this old guy began to deal with worldly matters and helped the Nangong family quickly increase their strength.
It was under this circumstance that Nangong Yun entered the early stage of transcending the tribulation and became the leader of the Jijian Sect.
The chief elder.
And his ambition does not stop there, his ultimate goal is the master of the Jijian Sect.
However, it is not enough to rely on the foundation of an ancestor who is about to ascend. What he has to do now is to conquer the Lu family and merge the first weapon-refining family in the Tiansheng State into the Jijian Sect. This will become an important trump card for him to aspire to become the sect leader.
To conquer the Lu family, Nangong Yun's method was to propose marriage at home, hoping that his son Nangong Chuan would marry Liu Yueniang.
Three days ago, he gave the Lu family an ultimatum, and today is the time to welcome the bride.
It is precisely because of this that the helpless Liu Yueniang went to Lu Chaozong's grave to cry.
"Master, why are you here?"
At this time, an old voice sounded from behind. Although he called himself the head of the family, he didn't show much respect.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people came over. The leader was Lu Xiaogong, the supreme elder of the Lu family, and there were also some elders of the sect and his grandson Lu Chaoling.
It was not just the Jijian Sect that was interested in Liu Yueniang, but also the Lu family.
In recent years, the Lu family has become more and more prosperous and famous. With this, it has obtained countless cultivation resources, and the cultivation level of the family's children has improved rapidly.
One of the more dazzling ones is Lu Chaoling, who is now in the early stage of Dongxu.
In contrast, Liu Yueniang, who was busy with her affairs, rarely had time to practice, and her cultivation had stagnated for so many years, staying at the early stage of Dongxu.
The two were equally powerful, and Ye Bufan, a great supporter, did not show up, so Lu Xiaogong had a crooked idea and wanted his grandson to take the position of the head of the family.
Originally he was thinking about how to speak, but now Jijianmen came directly to propose marriage, which made him overjoyed. As long as he married Liu
Yueniang, her grandson can take charge of the Lu family.
"Do I still need to ask for your instructions wherever I go?"
Although Liu Yueniang's strength has not increased much, she has been the head of the family for so many years and has a clear view of everything. She naturally knows what this old guy is thinking.
"Of course you don't need to ask me for instructions, but there are some things that it would be better for you to make up your mind in advance."
Lu Xiaogong smiled softly and said, "Master, please don't forget that today is the day when Ji Jian Sect comes to propose marriage. How should our Lu family respond?"
