Chapter 194: Zhang Zhiwei, Have You Ever Been Defeated?
Lü Ci led a group of cousins and a large number of Lü family members out of the village.
They headed straight for Lü Qian at the village entrance. When Lü Ci, who was leading the group, saw Lü Qian's face, which was extremely similar to his elder brother's, most of his anger subsided.
"Oh, all my fellow clansmen have come to welcome this humble Taoist?"
Sitting on the tiger's back, Lü Qian looked at the group of Lü family members with a half-smile, and a familiar hedgehog-like temperament emerged.
In the blink of an eye, everyone froze on the spot, turning to look at Lü Ci in front of them.
Originally, Lü Ci was somewhat intimidated by his elder brother, but now Lü Qian's demeanor has changed, and his temper is even more explosive than Lü Ci's.
This reignited his anger, which had just subsided.
"Pah, you wild brat, you're asking for it."
As he spoke, Lü Ci angrily unleashed his Ruyi Force and slammed his fist into the ground. Instantly, the bluestone paving stones at the entrance of Lü Family Village were lifted up, and a powerful force shot towards Lü Qian.
"If I'm a wild boy, then what are you?"
A strange smile appeared on Lü Qian's face, and he replied with a pointed remark.
I never expected Lü Ci to be so combative and interesting at this time. If I don't take this opportunity to make fun of him a few times, it would be a shame to have offended him when he was a child.
He raised the yellow banner behind him, slammed the white jade banner pole into the ground, and a similar Ruyi energy swept towards Lü Ci's force.
"Bang!"
The two forces collided, seemingly canceling each other out, but the forces that should have dissipated were instead swirled and coiled by Lü Qian's Ruyi Force, reforming into a powerful dragon that surged toward Lü Ci.
The earth and rocks churned and rolled, the powerful dragon of energy like a rolling earthen river, opening its jaws wide toward Lü Ci's legs, as if to bury his lower body.
Lu Ci was first startled by Lu Qian's Ruyi Force, then he used his strength to leap to the side, grabbing the stone pillar of the plaque with both arms, barely avoiding the dragon of force in the ground.
"That shameless old man actually dared to spread the Ruyi Jin technique from your Lü family?"
Lu Qian's cheeks bulged as he suppressed a laugh. Hearing Lu Ci's words "shameless old man" pop out from time to time, he unconsciously associated them with Lu Ci's old face.
He leaned against the tiger's back and kindly advised, "Brother, watch your mouth, or you might be cursing someone else."
"Pah! Adulterous couple, you expect me to show some decency?"
Lu Ci, hanging on the stone pillar, cursed and punched the pillar three times, sending three bursts of energy along the archway towards Lu Qian.
"Wait until your grandfather Lu Ci takes you down first, then make that shameless old man kneel in the ancestral hall and beg for forgiveness."
"Brothers, let's go shoulder to shoulder! This is a great opportunity to overthrow that shameless old man, then let our eldest brother take the throne, and we'll rebuild the Lü family."
Lu Ci's words were passionate and inspiring, as if he had the ambition to change the world and establish the Lu family's moral order at any moment.
"Seventh Brother is right!"
"Let's all go shoulder to shoulder!"
"Roar..."
The group of Lu family members were all young people around the same age as Lu Ci. They were moved by Lu Ci's words and all used their Ruyi Force.
In an instant, dust billowed at the entrance of Lüjia Village, and the bluestone bricks were further shattered under the force of the impact, with few intact pieces to be found.
Several streams of energy, like schools of fish migrating in a river, converged and flowed across the land, rushing towards Lü Qian.
Looking at Lü Family Village, which was completely different from his own time, Lu Qian, perched on the tiger's back, was filled with emotion. The style of a leader can truly influence the entire organization.
The Lü family of later generations could not see such a vibrant side; at that time, the Lü family was full of lifeless and apathetic members.
Seeing several powerful energies surging towards him from the ground, Lü Qian composed himself, smiled, and leaped off the tiger's back, his body flipping in mid-air.
His feet stomped several steps in the void, as if stepping on water, creating ripples that were neither visible nor invisible.
The ripples seemed to overlap, and after a few steps, waves of water were already forming around Lü Qian's feet, with immense power accumulating and flowing in his legs.
"Thump!"
Like a giant bronze bell or drum suddenly striking, Lü Qian flipped once in the air before his feet, having gathered their strength, slammed down from mid-air.
"boom!"
From about three feet around Lü Qian, the ground seemed to be struck by a tremendous force, instantly creating a basin-shaped depression with two footprints, each half a foot deep, in the center.
As Lü Qian's legs intertwined and flowed like waves, the force surged into the ground with each step, creating a wave of earth that blocked all the incoming forces from all sides.
"Bang bang bang..."
The forces collided, and a sound like firecrackers echoed from the ground.
"Brother, if you're going to launch a sneak attack, don't do it openly."
Lü Qian, leaning on the yellow banner, kicked Lü Ci, who was leaping down from the archway towards him, back.
He pressed his advantage relentlessly, channeling his energy into his feet and taking several quick steps on the ground. His leg movements became a blur of light, and several swirling, flowing energies shot towards the Lü family members standing together at the village entrance.
"It is impolite not to reciprocate, so please try my Lü-style Tai Chi Ruyi Jin."
The members of the Lü family hurriedly unleashed their own Ruyi Force to retaliate, but the force coming from the opposite side was like a vortex, absorbing and entangling their own force. In fact, many people's hands were directly stuck by the force coming from the ground.
"Damn, this kid's strength is too cunning."
"My hand is stuck."
Just as the Lü family members were getting a bit overwhelmed by Lü Qian's strength, a dark shadow slapped them on the back of the head.
"Look at the palm."
"Bang bang bang..."
Seven or eight members of the Lü family, including Lü Ci, were knocked unconscious by a slap, and Lü Qian appeared carrying a yellow banner.
He took the whisk from his waist and gestured at the sleeping Lü Ci at his feet, the whisk trailing around Lü Ci's cheek.
"Let me think, when my great-grandfather used to beat me, he was facing this direction..."
Just as Lü Qian was gathering his strength to raise the whisk, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Spare his life!"
The head of the Lü family rushed towards him with a group of clansmen. "Xiao Qian, don't make any more moves."
"Okay, I'll stop now, oh dear!"
As he spoke, Lü Qian's whisk slipped, and the wooden handle struck Lü Ci's face. "Oops, sorry, my hand slipped."
He bent down apologetically to pick up the whisk from Lü Ci's face, but unexpectedly his shoulder twitched and the peach wood sword on his back slid down, striking Lü Ci's chest.
"cough!"
Lu Ci's eyes widened in shock from the blow, and then he collapsed powerlessly.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't carry the sword properly, oh dear, the whisk is about to fall again..."
Lu Qian picked up the peach wood sword with trembling hands. As he stood up, the whisk that had been resting on his arm was about to fall down again.
Just as the whisk was about to fall again, a hand flashed out from the side and caught the whisk that was about to hit Lü Ci again in a flash.
"Brother Lü Qian, you'd better take this carefully this time."
Lu Ren glanced at the unconscious Lu Ci and said helplessly, "My younger brother is a bit arrogant and unruly, I hope Brother Lu Qian will not take offense."
"Of course, of course. I have quite a few magical artifacts, and I can't hold them all at once."
Lu Qian glanced at Lu Ren, who was standing in front of him, and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, Young Master Lu. The fight got a bit intense, and I accidentally injured your brother."
"You'll be fine once you've packed everything up."
Once Lü Qian had properly shouldered the peach wood sword and held the yellow banner, Lü Ren solemnly handed over the whisk in his hand.
"Master, is this man named Lü Qian really not your son?"
The elders on the side shifted their gaze, scrutinizing Lü Qian, Lü Ren, and Lü Ci for a moment before turning their condemning eyes to the Lü family head.
"Tell all my uncles and brothers, have you ever done any of those shameful things, like male thieves and female prostitutes?"
"I really didn't. Elders, please come into the ancestral hall for a chat. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach."
The head of the Lü family first looked helplessly at the Lü family members who were secretly pursuing and intercepting him, then turned around and solemnly led Lü Qian and the Lü family elders into the ancestral hall.
The Great Dream of Reincarnation is not something that cannot be discussed, after all, the stories of the immortal ancestors have been passed down through the world, and their families have even participated in them.
However, when such immense wealth came upon his own family, the head of the Lü family could only act cautiously.
Lu Qian's identity will have to be revealed sooner or later, otherwise a good thing will turn into a bad thing, and his reputation will be ruined for life.
But when the head of the Lü family realized that this immortal was his great-grandson, his originally straight back involuntarily leaned back, and he walked with a more imposing air.
Before long, the restrictions inside the ancestral hall were activated, and the Lü family members outside could only look at the tightly closed ancestral hall and scratch their heads in frustration.
A moment later, the door opened again, and the head of the Lü family came out anxiously. "Quickly, fetch a doctor! The elders have fainted from excitement."
"I...we're alright..."
Just as the head of the Lü family was about to step out, several old hands quickly reached out from behind him and pulled him into the ancestral hall.
"Bang!"
The ancestral hall gates closed again. A few quarters of an hour later, several elders of the Lü family emerged from the ancestral hall, looking refreshed and rosy-cheeked, as if they had taken a potent tonic.
"Uncle, where's your cane?"
"No need, I'm in excellent health right now."
The elders, with their vigorous strides, seemed to have become decades younger in an instant. They looked down at the members of the Lü family and announced in a loud voice.
"Everyone, after our investigation, the patriarch has not made any mistakes, and Lü Qian's identity is correct. Today, we will open the family genealogy and record him as a member of the patriarch's lineage."
After saying that, they rushed into the ancestral hall and scrambled to get to the room where the family genealogy was displayed.
Within the clan, any changes to the genealogy are recorded. The addition of the name Lü Qian will leave a place for future generations to admire the author.
The clan elders grabbed each other's clothes and trouser legs, and the group was in a chaotic mess, all vying for this great opportunity to make their names in history.
"You all step aside; this is something I must write down myself."
"Screw you, I'm the boss, I'll write it."
"The eldest brother has been writing all his life, it's my turn to write one."
"Your age is important, youngest, get out of here."
"This is a great opportunity to have our names recorded in the family genealogy. Brothers, please step aside and let this old man take on the responsibility."
As the elders of the Lü family scrambled for it, the Qi light belonging to the Ruyi Force suddenly shone brightly.
"Damn, third brother, you actually resorted to dirty tricks."
"You've all rebelled! You've all rebelled!"
Outside the door, several respected elders were fighting fiercely, their fists and feet flashing with the light of Ruyi Jing.
Beside him, the head of the Lü family slowly opened the side door of the ancestral hall and slowed his pace toward the family genealogy.
"These are my children and grandchildren, so please don't try to take them from me, elders."
