Chapter 187: An Obvious Trap? Who Will Come Out On Top!

A sly expression covered the entirety of Luo Ying’s pretty face. The previous campaign into the Min Province had been a project under her responsibility.

She had failed and even lost one of the Luo family’s heirs in the process.

Although she managed to escape with her life in the end, the high-level members of the Luo family still held her accountable, and the bright future she had was now no more.

Since then, Luo Ying had fostered a deep-seated hatred for Lu Xuan. Still, she knew that Lu Xuan’s immense strength was not something she could hope to catch up to, no matter what she tried.

She was relatively talented and was very close to reaching the Divine Level.

Even so, Lu Xuan had reached the Divine Level several months ago, so taking revenge on her own was definitely not an option for her.

Therefore, she needed to rely on her family’s strength to have a chance at getting her revenge.

“You seem to have some understanding of him?” Luo Zihong looked towards Luo Ying. She had not made much of an impression on him, but right now, he had no way of dealing with Lu Xuan, and if Luo Ying was able to come up with a plan, that was enough for him to take notice of her.

“I, your granddaughter, once suffered greatly at his hands, and so I devoted myself to studying him, gaining a deep understanding of his character. The man has a strange sense of pride, disdaining conspiracies and tricks, while at the same time, he is ruthless and definitely does not show compassion to lesser opponents!” Luo Ying bowed as she explained. “According to my research, any faction that crossed him has eventually met an unfortunate end. The Soul-snatcher Sect and Qiu family were all completely uprooted by him.

“This man is not the kind of person who will be satisfied and stop after killing a handful of people. Hence, I believe that if our family makes a show of hosting a celebration, Lu Xuan will not let us get away with it so easily. The probability that he will show up is above 90%. When the time comes, we can set a trap for him at the event, and then it would be hard for him to get away even if he grew wings!”

Listening to Luo Ying’s plan, Luo Zihong’s eyes narrowed as he said, “Can you be 100% sure!”

Luo Ying answered, “Replying to the Great Ancestor, your granddaughter is not 100% certain that this will work. However, the Great Ancestor has finished cultivation and broken through to the Invincible Vajra level. This, by itself, is a matter that deserves a grand celebration. Even if he does not come, there is no loss to the Great Ancestor. But if he does come, it’s a perfect opportunity for us to slay this bane of our Luo family. Wouldn’t celebrating the Great Ancestor’s achievements with the head of this savage be like having one’s cake and eating it too?”

Luo Zihong squinted again, and gave the order like a vicious wild beast, “You’re in charge of all the arrangements for this!”

Luo Ying was instantly taken aback, and her pretty face showed signs of excitement as she said, “Thank you very much, Great Ancestor, for trusting me. I will make sure the preparations for this are perfect. If he does not come, then it’s fine, but if he does come, he will definitely meet a tragic end!”

Many of the high-level members of the Luo family were looking at Luo Ying with very complicated expressions, as they felt how truly fearsome the younger generation was. They had thought she was already ground into the dust from her failures and never expected her to make a comeback like this.

On this day, the Luo family announced to the outside world that the Luo family Great Ancestor had ended his cultivation and was already an Invincible Vajra Level master, and invited people from all industries to come to Zhe Province and attend the celebrations.

In that time, the world of Cultivators was in an uproar. It should be known that although there was more than one Invincible Vajra Level master in the world now, there were still very few of them showing themselves in the public eye.

Aside from the Dragon, which everyone knew about, the other Invincible Vajra Level masters still kept a very low profile.

When the Luo family Great Ancestor announced that he was an Invincible Vajra Level master, it boosted the Luo family’s prestige even more.

For a time, all of the Luo family’s business deals in every region were green-lit, and the Luo family’s stock prices rose accordingly.

The benefits brought about from having an Invincible Vajra Level master were simply too numerous, as, at this current point in time, there was no answer to a master at the Invincible Vajra level of strength.

The White Ape King alone caused tens of thousands of deaths, and was like a walking nuclear bomb!

In this period, various major factions sent men to Zhe Province, and there were even many faction leaders who decided to come in person.

In a small pavilion in the Yunxuan Villa, Lu Xuan caressed the gilded invitation in his hands.

The invitation was sent out by the Luo family, and they had invited Lu Xuan to attend the Luo family Great Ancestor’s promotion ceremony.

Opposite him, Yang Chengsi held a similar invitation in his hands that was also from the Luo family. As the leader of the underworld in Min Province, Yang Chengsi was also considered to be a man of influence.

Moreover, thanks to Lu Xuan’s guidance, his own cultivation had not declined. On the contrary, he had broken through to the Invincible Vajra Level a while ago as well.

His current position could be said to be as sturdy as a mountain. Unless Lu Xuan personally moved to remove him, otherwise, there was basically nobody who could make a move against him.

Yang Chengsi had some idea about the bad blood between Lu Xuan and the Luo family, so he hurriedly made his way to the Yunxuan Villa to meet Lu Xuan the moment he received the invitation.

“Young Master, the Luo family is clearly doing this to provoke you!”

Yang Chengsi spoke in a reverent and respectful manner. Even though he was an Invincible Vajra Level himself, he did not dare to overstep his bounds in the slightest before Lu Xuan. It was not only because his life and possessions were firmly in Lu Xuan’s grasp, but more so because the unknowable depths of Lu Xuan’s cultivation still gave him chills to this day.

Lu Xuan laughed lightly, saying, “They’re not trying to provoke me. This is a psychological tactic to incite me to leave the Yunxuan Villa and go to them!”

Taking this opportunity, Lu Xuan relayed the story of Luo Zihong’s raid on the villa to Yang Chengsi, so he knew that such a thing had actually happened.

“You are wise, Young Master, and this indeed seems to be the case. They must have been stymied by the grand defensive formation, and so decided to lure the Young Master out of it!”

With some thinking, Yang Chengsi also realized what the Luo family was up to.

Lu Xuan also understood that this conspiracy by the Luo family was not some brilliant ploy. They were just making use of his desire to wholly eliminate the Luo family to lure him to go to them.

“Young Master, you must not fall for their trap!” Yang Chengsi advised.

“Since we already know the enemy is plotting something, it’s all the more reason for us not to go!”

Lu Xuan shook his head as he replied, “No, they are certain that I will be there, and are bound to have set up a huge trap for me. However, this is an excellent opportunity for me to get all the Luo family members in one fell swoop!

“I want to wipe the Luo family off the face of this earth!”

Lu Xuan’s expression was one of unparalleled conviction. Whether it was because of the tribulations they put him through in his past life, or to protect his family from the threat they posed in this life, he had no intention of letting the Luo family run free any longer.

Watching Lu Xuan, Yang Chengsi could not understand why Lu Xuan would make such a decision. He obviously knew there was a trap waiting for him, yet he actually still chose to attend the event. Was he not walking straight into their trap?

“Rather than giving them a chance to sneakily launch an attack on me in the future when I’m unprepared, it’s better to finish this now in the open. What can they do to me?” Lu Xuan smirked. “Their so-called inescapable trap is nothing more than what they can arrange with their current strength. However, they’re still underestimating my abilities way too much. I have many ways of beating them until they weep!

“I want you to first go and collect the information on all the main members of the Luo family. On the day itself, I want you to be outside, waiting, so that not a single one of them can slip away!” Lu Xuan said as he pursed his lips.

Since they wanted to settle things once and for all, it was time to see whose methods would come out on top.
