Chapter 270 - A Single Person intimidating an entire Sect
Lu Xuan dealt severe damage with one single hit.
The sectmaster of the Guimen Sect was sent flying as blood continued to spill from his mouth, looking as if he had grown 20 years older in an instant.
His soul seemed to have taken a crippling blow. While it was a blow that did not reflect on his physical body, it was nonetheless a solid hit. He, who seemed old and shriveled to begin with, looked even more so after he had gotten over 20 years older.
“Sectmaster!”
Many throughout the Guimen Sect called out at that moment.
Two figures emerged from the fighters of the sect all of a sudden at that moment. The two of them charged at Lu Xuan like some kind of specter, catching him in a pincer attack.
They were moving impossibly quick.
They deemed themselves to have caught the opportunity to hit.
Her last hope was deemed no more back then.
And yet, just when she had lost all hope, Lu Xuan actually came right before her like he had always been around.
His appearance felt like a ray of sunshine that shot right through her dark, grim days, dispelling the darkness.
“It’s alright. It’s alright now.”
Ling Huang mumbled nothing else, not knowing what to say at that moment.
Ling Fei saw how tired and aged her father looked within just a few months. She knew very well that it was all because of her, and she was incredibly guilt-ridden for it.
However, she quickly composed herself and said to Lu Xuan, “Thank you for saving me, Mr. Lu.”
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Xuan, as if to say that he was the only ray of hope in her life at the moment.
“It’s nothing,” Lu Xuan replied as he nodded with a smile.
He then turned his gaze at those of the Guimen Sect and said, “I’ve been gone for a year and so, everyone simply thought I was dead then, or they simply thought me to be some small fry they could push around after I get ‘resurrected’ eh. They wouldn’t have dared to do something like this otherwise.”
The faces of those survivors of the sect were ashen when they heard that, as Lu Xuan spoke their mind.
While Lu Xuan’s connection with Ling Fei’s family was not all that well known, the relationship was nonetheless not some hidden secret after all.
Under normal circumstances, no one would have dared to do anything against anyone who even had anything to do with Lu Xuan.
It was especially so in Ling Fei’s case. Those who knew of the relationship between her and Lu Xuan dared not cause any trouble with her. The number of people who would have acted against her was actually smaller than those who would do harm to Lu Xuan’s family.
The reason for that was simple. If anyone were to abduct Lu Xuan’s family, he might actually bear with it, as there was a risk of severe harm coming to his family.
However, acting against Ling Fei might end up simply pissing Lu Xuan off, and worse still, the relationship between her and Lu Xuan did not seem to be more than common acquaintances. If they were to go too far, Lu Xuan might actually act without any consideration for her wellbeing.
Threatening Lu Xuan by taking Ling Fei hostage was undoubtedly seen to be a joke.
But then again, that was when Lu Xuan was still alive.
After news about his death spread all over the place, many came to disregard him altogether.
