Chapter 345: Future Family Patriarch
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Li came to his senses after a moment. He helped Mo Ye up and asked, "Master Mo, do you know my father?"
Mo Ye didn't answer right after he stood up. He made sure that nobody was around and then replied with a smile, "There was more. I was fortunate enough to serve the Future Family Patriarch for half a month. Actually… tall warriors above the Noble Lord Realm of the entire eastern part of Central Plains know your father."
"Future Family Patriarch?"
Lu Li, Ming Yu and Yu Huashen's eyes glowed. Lu Li asked with confusion, "Do you mean that… my father is the future Family Patriarch of the Lu Family?"
Lu Ling told Lu Li that their father was a disciple of the Lu Family but she never told him that their father was the future Family Patriarch. Ming Yu and Yu Huashen only knew that Lu Renhuang came from the Lu Family and nothing else.
Mo Ye asked with surprise, "Didn't he tell you about him?"
Lu Li shook his head. Mo Ye explained, "Young Family Patriarch is not only the son of the current Lu Family Patriarch, but also the most talented warrior, one of a kind of the entire Central Plains in a history of more than 100,000 years. He reached the Human Sovereign Realm at the age of 20 and he could best all the other warriors of the same realm."
"At the age of 20..."
Yu Huashen, Ming Yu and Lu Li were rendered speechless, but Ming Yu was convinced. When he met Lu Renhuang, Lu Renhuang looked young and he must be only 25 or 26 years old then.
Mo Ye asked a question after a while, "Young Master, where is young Family Patriarch? He is missing for 20 years. Lu Family spent a lot of time and resources trying to find him."
Yu Huashen was about to say something when he was stopped by Lu Li's glance. Ming Yu was an indifferent person so he wouldn't even answer questions, let alone taking the initiative to talk.
Lu Li thought about it and said, "Let's talk about it later. We need to go back to the city. There are still Song Family warriors at the Mountain City."
"Alright!"
Mo Ye nodded. He took out a golden chariot, boarded and flew over to the Mountain City.
Lu Li was much at ease with a Human Sovereign Realm warrior next to him. After a while, he asked with curiosity, "Master Mo, how come you can tell me that I am Lu Renhuang's son so quickly?"
Mo Ye smiled gently, turned back and said, "Anybody that had even seen your father could tell, not to mention me. You are… so alike your father. But your father's temperament is different than yours. He looked to be a high profiled person and he has this quality that can make people just believe in him. Anyone who see him will follow him and willingly work for him. They will listen to his orders but he is not off-putting. You seem much gentler, different from him."
"Oh, I see!"
Lu Li remembered the portrait Ming Yu shown him. Ming Yu also said that he looked like his father. Lu Li nodded but said nothing more.
They were not far away from the Mountain City. Yu Huashen was not fast so the Song Family warriors caught up to him right away. This time, it only took them about an hour to get back to the Mountain City.
The Mountain City was peaceful. Fights were over. The Song Family warriors didn't propose the ceasefire, but powerful warriors of the Palace of Aries were here so the Song Family warriors were afraid to fight anymore.
Outside of the city, Song Fu, Song Yuan and another warrior of the Noble Lord Realm were standing in midair. They were surrounded by more Noble Lord Realm warriors. Han Wuxin and Han Wuqing stood on the side. They all knew that Mo Ye had gone to Lu Li so they waited here.
"Master!"
Warriors of the Palace of Aries bowed as soon as they saw Mo Ye come back with Lu Li. Han Wuxin grinned when he saw Lu Li from the distance and he could put his mind at ease now.
Mo Ye nodded. He glanced over to Song Fu and then asked Lu Li, "Young Master, what should we do about those three?"
Song Fu and the other two were frightened. Mo Ye had come back but Song He and the others were not here. Song Fu felt something was wrong.
Song Fu made up his mind and said after some consideration, "Master Mo, we are from the Song Family. I think you have heard of Song Qi. We did something wrong this time but there is misunderstanding. Can we have a talk?"
Song Family was a sixth-rank Family and Song Qi was also at the Human Sovereign Realm, very famous at the eastern Central Plains. Mo Ye must have heard of Song Qi.
Song Fu was thinking that both the Palace of Aries and the Song Family were powerful forces, killing them would make the Palace of Aries on the opposing side the Song Family. Mo Ye must have some concerns for fear that the two sides would go into war.
Mo Ye, on the other hand, acted as if he hadn't heard Song Fu's words. Mo Ye look at Lu Li, waiting for his order.
"Kill them!"
Lu Li was not a soft-hearted person. He never thought too much when he was faced with enemies apart from killing them first. Mo Ye nodded. He waved his hand without even looking at Song Fu.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
More than 20 Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Palace of Aries made their moves together. They all released their powerful skills and Profound Meaning. Song Fu and the other two Song Family warriors were swallowed by the attacks before they even realize what was going on.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
It was like a sun had exploded in the sky. Song Yuan and another Song Family warrior were turned into ground flesh. Their limbs flew all over the place. Song Fu managed to live on for a bit longer but then he was killed as well. There were eight warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm among the 20. How could Song Fu possibly survive that?
The noises of explosion that shook the heaven and earth resounded through the land. Smoke arose. Even the ground was turned up in a few places. The blast raided the neighboring area, causing a fierce gale to spring up...
"Let's go!"
Mo Ye flew the chariot with Lu Li and others to the city and arrived at the He Family. He Yuan had come back. He greeted them at the door and showed then to the main hall.
Instead of taking the center seat, Mo Ye asked Lu Li to sit there, to which Lu Li did not decline. Ming Yu's wounds had stopped bleeding. Lu Li looked at the undermined Yu Huashen and said, "He Yuan, take them with you and let them rest and tend to their wounds."
Lu Li winked at Yu Huashen and Ming Yu, warning them not to speak of the things they shouldn't talk about. He Yuan sent a patriarch to show Yu Huashen and Ming Yu to a room to rest.
Han Wuxin and his two patriarchs left to rest after he exchanged some pleasantries with Mo Ye. He knew that Mo Ye had many questions to ask Lu Li.
Mo Ye sat upfront, ask the other warriors of the Noble Lord Realms to leave, only keeping behind the several at the peak of the Noble Lord Realms. Mo Ye introduced them with a smile and said, "Young Master, where did you come from? Is the Lu Family informed about your return?"
"No!"
Lu Li didn't try to hide this. After all, he wanted Mo Ye to take him to the Lu Family which would save him a lot of trouble and Xuan Crystals.
Lu Li frankly answered, "I have come back on my own. I don't know much about the Lu Family. Don't ask too many things about my father. Please just take me to the Lu Family. I will be indebted to you."
Lu Li didn't want to talk too much about Lu Renhuang as he had once fought other Human Sovereign Realm warriors at the Northern Desert.
There were more—Lu Renhuang was the future Family Patriarch of the Lu Family and the most talented warrior of the Central Plains in 100,000 years. Any family would treat this kind of warrior as the most cherished. How come the Lu Family didn't go to look for him at the Northern Desert in the 20 years?
If the Lu Family had sent people to the Northern Desert, they would only have to do some simple investigation before they located Lu Renhuang and then Lu Li and his sister. Lu Renhuang almost killed the Old Man of Heaven Prison for Ming Yu, which was not a secret among the Big Families of the Northern Desert.
Lu Li had many doubts, doubts that made him careful. He would not tell anything about Lu Renhuang before he returned to the Lu Family and united with those dearest to him.
Seeing that Lu Li didn't want to talk, Mo Ye didn't press him. When he sent Lu Li back to the Lu Family, Mo Ye's kind behavior would be acknowledged. It was a contribution to the Lu Family to some extent.
Mo Ye nodded and said, "Okay, then. Young Master, you have some rest. When your two men get better after a couple of days, I will escort you to the Mystic Armor Region in person."
