Chapter 652 Identity Exposed

Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.The Azure Vine Tree sprites seemed to have no intention of pursuing outside their territory, and the Abyssal Winged Wolf beasts gradually retreated. The Q...The man in black!

Cao Bao, who had originally been extremely eager for revenge, suddenly swallowed the words he was about to speak. He stared at Lu Xia Tian in utter shock.

And Cao Xi'er, who was sitting on Di Youquan's back, had her beautiful eyes rippling with ripples. Her thoughts were like wings, thinking about the day she almost being kidnapped by Yinlan Bandit. But she was intercepted by a mysterious man in black who appeared out of nowhere. With just a few moves, he seriously injured the Yinlan Bandit. There are many more legends about the masked man. Under the presence of many Jindan cultivators, he appeared domineeringly and killed his enemies one after another, severely injuring the late Jindan expert Dou Fenghu! She and her second brother Cao Bao had originally moved out of Hou Mansion to the safe zone in Wushang City's city center, but later they moved back because of the black-clothed man's fame spread far and wide. Afterwards, there were occasional glimpses from Jindan cultivators, but none dared to reach out to Zhenwei Hou Mansion, for each one was chopped off by the mysterious man in black.

For decades after Lord Zhenwei left the marquis's mansion, the black-cloaked figures became the stabilizing force of the residence. Even the lowest servants of the mansion, when walking on Wujiang City streets, would stand taller with a newfound confidence.

Whether it was Cao Bao or Cao Xi'er, they both viewed the mysterious man in black as a powerful Jindan realm cultivator, an imposing elder of great stature. However, Lu Xiaoteng's youthful appearance stood in stark contrast to this imagined figure.

"Kun, Kunber, this man is so young, how, how could he possibly be the one who defeated a late-stage Golden Core expert!" Cao Bao said with some difficulty accepting it.

"Second Brother, don't talk nonsense." Cao Xiuer hurriedly interrupted Cao Bao. Although she also found it unbelievable, seeing Lu Xiaottian still calm and composed in the midst of Houfu cavalry packing at this time, reminiscent of his composure when intercepting the Yilan bandits.

And her third uncle, Cao Guangming, was clearly already injured. Her third uncle was perfectly fine just a moment ago and had even spoken to her. Judging by the situation, the fight couldn't have lasted long. And judging by Cao Kun's appearance, he seemed to be calling the young man before him "brother" and claimed they had known each other for decades. Kunbo wouldn't say this without reason. Could it be that this person had been staying at the Marquis' mansion for decades

Cao Xier's heart beat wildly. The young man before her, his image was exactly the same as the mysterious figure in black who had saved her under the moonlight that day. Cao Xier felt inexplicably flushed.

Hiruluk... Cao Kun exclaimed in shock. The heavily armored cavalry around him, the steeds beneath them, sensed their master's turmoil and fear. They whinnied nervously, stamping their hooves and retreating several steps. Though these heavily armored cavalry had withdrawn from the front lines with Cao Guang, upon returning to the Marquis' mansion, they too had heard the rumors about the mysterious figures. How could they, mere mortals, dare underestimate a power capable of fighting off several Golden Core cultivators

A deathly silence surrounded them, broken only by the falling snow and the occasional gust of wind.

“So what if it is What if it’s not” Lu Xia Tian remained noncommittal, neither admitting nor denying.

"Lu Brother, you really fooled me badly. I should have thought of it earlier." Cao Kun wore a wry smile, even though Lu Xia Tian hadn't admitted it, in Cao Kun's eyes, it was already tacitly accepted.

“Xi’er thanks her seniors for saving her life before, and many times rescuing the Hou Mansion from danger.” Cao Xi’er reacted quickly, leaping from Di Youquan’s back, hands clasped at her forehead, bowing deeply to Lu Xiaotien with a flushed face. Her eyes blinked rapidly, taking in Lu Xiaotien up close.

Cao Guang was injured at the time, his face was embarrassed and awkward.

Lu Xia Tian shifted his body slightly, but didn't acknowledge Cao Xi Er's gesture. Instead, he looked past the crowd, his gaze drifting towards a distant spot. He pondered if it was time to leave.

A corpulent man, with a stout frame and robes of smoky blue, moved with an agility and swiftness that belied his bulk, charging towards us.

"Haha, I said today when I returned home, why did I see magpies chirping It turns out that a distinguished guest has arrived. Brother Lu, during the decades I was away, you have guarded my Marquis's mansion for decades. This marquis thanks you here first."

The arrival was none other than Zhenwei Hou Cao Sheng, accompanied by Cao Guang. Though Cao Sheng also emanated a strong aura of blood and killing intent, it was far more restrained, evidently due to his cultivation surpassing Cao Guang's.

Lu Xia tian's heart was open and bright. When Cao Sheng arrived, he didn't know who Cao Sheng was. He should have been told by Cao Kun through sound transmission. Just before his arrival, he spoke. Cao Sheng had a loud voice that shook the snow off the nearby trees continuously.

"Lord Zhenwei's name has long been renowned, and I, Lu, have long admired him. Although we've never met, it seems that Lord Hou is even more imposing in person." Lu Xiaoteng bowed to Lord Zhenwei.

“You lot, get out of here! Do you really think that because there are more of you, you can do whatever you want It was only Brother Lu who held back just now, otherwise with your pathetic strength, you would have been headless already.” Cao Sheng flicked his sleeve, and the heavily armored cavalry retreated like a receding tide, their movements neat and orderly. To achieve this level of discipline, they must have undergone rigorous training and countless real battles under Cao Sheng’s command.

“The flood washed over the Dragon King’s Temple, Lao San, are you alright” Cao Sheng glanced at Cao Guang who still had blood on the corner of his mouth, “Why don’t you go back and heal first”

"It's nothing, a little injury is manageable. Just now Brother Lu was merciful, otherwise I might not have survived." Cao Guang smiled wryly and retreated to the side.

“Beast, blind fool! You offended Senior Lu and even caused your uncle to be injured. The Cao family will sooner or later suffer greatly under your hands, you wretch! Kneel down and apologize to Senior Lu, then go back and reflect on yourself in seclusion until the tribulation period arrives!” Seeing that Cao Guang was unharmed, Cao Sheng let out a slight sigh of relief, then reprimanded Cao Bao sternly.

“Senior Lu, I apologize for my previous offenses. I hope that you, a senior of great stature, will be magnanimous and not hold grudges.” Cao Bao lowered his head meekly, his face pale with shame. He did not dare to show any unusual emotions towards Lu Xiaoteng, but when he lowered his head, a flash of resentment crossed his eyes.

“Just some minor things, Marquis Zhenwei needn't be too harsh on the younger generation.” Marquis Zhenwei was polite, and Lu Xiaotien naturally couldn't be rude. He wouldn't really let Cao Bao kneel. Reaching out with a soft force, he supported Cao Bao's body. Cao Bao wasn't truly willing to kneel either; after struggling a few times, he naturally looked towards his father.

"Cao has been fighting wars for years, neglecting his children's upbringing, allowing the Lu brothers to see how things are. If the Lu brothers aren't averse, follow Cao back to Hou Mansion. It didn't matter before since I didn't know, but now that I know of your identities, I naturally want to express my sincere gratitude." Cao Sheng said with a sincere face.

"Indeed, Father. Grandmaster Lu has done so much for our Hou Residence over the years. I was fortunate enough to be spared thanks to Grandmaster Lu's intervention." Cao Xi'er hurriedly said. "Grandmaster Lu, please return to the residence with my father. My father will definitely treat you as the most honored guest."

(Sanqi Chinese)lly, this old man wanted to kill you to vent my hatred. However, your talent is rare, and since you have become a fifth-rank Dan Saint, you might be of some use to me in the future. If you are willing...
