Chapter 55
Luo Yongnian had a lot of confidence when it came to the dark web.
Luo Ying relaxed immediately when she heard her uncle talking about the dark web because she knew immediately that her clan was really out to take down Lu Xuan once and for all.
The Luo Clan had access to vast resources, but a young martial arts legend nonetheless still posed a significant threat. Despite not being able to shake the Luo Clan for a time, someone like that would have still severely threatened the clan in the long run.
It was possible for someone to have a career as a thief, but there was no way a target could have stayed on high alert against said thief indefinitely. That was something the clan knew very well.
The dark web was a world unknown to ordinary folk. In the world as it was then, both Cultivators and the Awakened were still a topic of speculation, yet it was a widely known truth among those who frequented the dark web.
That was an entirely different world on its own, which had its own system and order.
Luo Ying scouted quite a number of Awakened ones with criminal records, and she would take some jobs on the dark web herself. As such, she knew just how terrifying the dark web truly could be.
It was an underworld spanning across the entire real world, after all, and it had a long history behind it. Even a clan as formidable and resourceful as the Luo Clan was unable to tell just how many other forces were involved.
He simply stood where he was and said, “You’ve come all the way here. Why not show yourself, hm?”
Someone leapt from a thick branch of a tree not far away from where Lu Xuan stood right after he said that line.
That figure had been standing on the branch like a god looking down on mortals mere moments ago.
He had an extremely terrifying aura about him. Bugs and birds did not even dare to make any noise where he was. His aura was so frighteningly intimidating that bugs, which were creatures without any capacity for thought, were thoroughly frightened.
“Luo Yongnian, it’s you, huh?”
Lu Xuan saw a familiar face coming at him.
He had been far more familiar with the people of the Luo Clan than he would have liked to in his past life. There was no way he would not have recognized the members of that clan.
“You know of me?” Luo Yongnian’s eyes glittered with terrifying light when he heard what Lu Xuan said.
That was because he holed himself up in the clan to further his training just about all the time, hardly venturing into the outside world. Common logic stated that there was no way Lu Xuan would have heard of him. However, there was nonetheless one possibility why Lu Xuan knew who he was—the young man had investigated matters about the clan.
It was just as Luo Ying had anticipated. Lu Xuan was not about to let go. He was determined to go against the Luo Clan.
“Seems like I can’t leave a mongrel like you leave the place alive then!” Luo Yongnian said coldly as he gritted his teeth.
“And I thought the Luo Clan would have sent someone else. It never crossed my mind that they would have sent you instead. Fair enough. I’ll leave a statement for the Luo Clan on your head, sending them a message saying that I’m not a pushover.” Lu Xuan was thoroughly unfazed. He was actually that confident in his powers.
Both men were martial arts legends, and if Luo Yongnian were considered to be at the pinnacle, then Lu Xuan would have been deemed invincible.
Flames emerged all over Lu Xuan at that very moment. Lava and spitting streams of fire were everywhere.
It was as if he was in the hell told of in myths and legends.
“You seem to think that such level of illusion will faze me, huh?” Lu Xuan smirked. At the very next instant, the place was transformed back into the woods again.
What happened back then was nothing more than an illusion.
