Are you sure? Lu Sheng frowned.

Beside him, Hong Shenlu drew a short knife with a fierce look in his eyes.

Lin Shengya almost said the words Im not going!, but when she saw Hong Shenlus actions in the corner of her eye, she immediately got goosebumps all over.

Ill think about it! She hastily changed her stance.

Are you going or not!? Lu Sheng was impatient.

I will! Ill go! Lin Shengya could already feel the cold tip of the blade on her back. She immediately froze. She dared not even move.

By the way, the person who called me, is she your mother? Lu Sheng asked another question.

Yes At this moment, Lin Shengya was certain that these people were desperados who were not afraid of anything.

They were even wearing standard uniforms like what the army would wear. It was evident that these men were used to ignoring the rule of law. They did not even care about the federal regulations on military uniforms.

They were operating just like how the legendary Noccent Terrorists would.

When Lu Sheng got the confirmation he wanted, his expression relaxed slightly.

Alright. Lead the way.

They quickly left Zhao Longkuis mansion. The cellphones of everyone inside the mansion lost their signal. The desk phone cables were also severed. They were completely cut off from any communication with the outer world as they were guarded by the guards.

Lu Sheng and Lin Shengya exited the mansion. Someone brought Lin Shengyas silver sports car over and parked it before the two of them.

Lu Sheng opened the door and entered the car. Lin Shengya and another woman in black sat in the rear.

Hong Shenlu sat in the drivers seat.

A dozen dummy cars of various models followed behind them. They were all driven by guards under Lu Shengs command.

Lu Sheng gave the order not to lay hands on the main Zhuo Family directly. Instead, his men were to surround the house, and not let anyone enter or exit.

The so-called grandfather of his host should still be with the main family. He would like to see what the situation was in the Zhuo Family.

The Zhuo Familys main house was erected less than 100 meters from where the citys governmental building stood. It was very close to a marketplace and a bus station.

When Lu Sheng and the others arrived, besides the people from the Black Light Hand, there were many ununiformed police.

When Lu Sheng made his appearance, he immediately sensed at least a dozen distant snipers aiming at the path where he had to pass.

Bring me in. He looked directly at Lin Shengya.

Lin Shengyas expression changed, but she complied.

She had been observing Lu Sheng and his men throughout the journey here. However, she did not see any indication of being flustered in any of them. It was as if they viewed this current matter as something insignificant.

This made her feel greatly puzzled and shocked.

She did not know just how much strength they needed to have to possess such ample confidence while facing off with two giant families, the Zhaos and the Zhuos.

After they alighted, Lu Shengs request was within her expectations.

As for Lu Shengs military outfit, she had her own guesses, but she did not prod.

Lets go. Lin Shengya straightened her clothes and walked naturally as she led the way toward the main Zhuo Familys mansion.

The surroundings of the mansion seemed quiet, but nobody knew how many traps had been laid.

Lu Sheng followed closely behind her. They walked up to the iron gate together and pressed the doorbell.

Beep

Who is it?

Its me, said Lin Shengya drily.

Oh, its Lady Ya.

The iron gate was swiftly opened.

The two of them walked into the mansion slowly. Servants came to meet them immediately.

Bring me to Grandfather, Lin Shengya said in a deep voice.

The old master is having a meeting with Mister Hols. Theyre in the projection room on the right, replied the servant hastily.

Although Lin Shengyas surname was not Zhuo, she was loved much in the family. Even though she had grown slightly distant with her grandfather, she was still a granddaughter of the Zhuo Family.

Lead the way. Lin Shengya could not help but look at Lu Sheng beside her.

The two of them kept quiet. Lu Sheng only spoke after they were brought to a certain room on the second floor of the mansions right wing.

Whos Hols?

The deputy mayor of Kunming City Lin Shengya scrutinized Lu Shengs expression. However, she could not notice any changes in it.

She gave the door a light knock.

Come in, Little Ya. Zhuo Xinchengs old voice came.

Without waiting for Lin Shengya to open the door, Lu Sheng twisted the door knob and went in ahead of her.

A white-haired muscular old man was in the room. With a staff in hand, he wore a gentle smile.

The other person was an elegant middle-aged man in a white suit. He gave Lu Sheng a shocked glance.

It was you? Zhuo Xincheng recognized who Lu Sheng was with a single glance.

It was me, Lu Sheng replied drily. Tell me, whats the matter with my father?

Zhuo Xincheng slowly rose to his feet. He looked at Lin Shengya with an expression that said he was furious from being embarrassed. Then, he looked at Lu Sheng. His gaze lingered on the special military uniform he was wearing.

Zhuo Zhenyu? What have you come here for? Whats the matter? Your father does not know the immensity of the heavens. He provoked the Zhao Familys head, and is stubbornly unwilling to admit he was wrong. He has brought a disaster to the family. Humph! It was a mistake for the eldest brother to leave all the shares to him!

What about you? Have you noticed anything? Lu Sheng noticed that the middle-aged man was staring at his shoulder badge with a frown.

It was clear that Zhuo Xincheng and this man were far-sighted individuals. They remembered the great changes which happened before this, and added it up with the fact that Lu Sheng, who was supposed to be an ordinary student, was suddenly capable of making Lin Shengya bring him here openly.

Anyone would have found something off with this.

That outfit youre wearing, its the Black Light? Hols asked carefully. He remembered that hed seen this military uniform before. However, the shoulder badges were usually black or red. He had never seen a dark golden badge before.

Heheh. Lu Sheng did not answer him. He walked toward the center of the room and looked around himself.

About my fathers accident, Id initially thought that the Zhuo Family wouldve never let its familys head come to harm no matter what happened. Alas, you have disappointed me. He reached out and picked up a white Japanese rose from the vase on the table.

Zhuo Zhenyu, looks like youve made quite a name for yourself. However, you must know the level of power youre going up against, Zhuo Xincheng spoke with a gloomy expression and in a low voice. Do you think that just because youre somebody, you can now join in the open contest of the Zhuo Family?

He pushed a hidden button on his staff.

Men!

It was all quiet outside. Nobody replied.

Zhuo Xinchengs expression remained unchanged. However, his heart sank. Even Hols stopped appearing as collected as before.

You guys are to weak Lu Sheng removed the thorns from the flowers stalk. Dont you know that only the weak group together? A real expert is always alone. If you form groups, youll become reliant. When youre reliant, youll get dispirited, slack off, and cease to improve.

Youre just a suckling child! Preposterous! Men! Men! Zhu Xincheng tapped his staff forcefully. His expression remained stern, but beads of sweat could be seen forming on his forehead already.

Lu Sheng slowly walked up to him.

Bam!

A smack landed on Zhuo Xinchengs head.

The octogenarian Zhuo Xincheng fell backward from his seat from the impact. He crashed onto the decorative chairs to his left.

Ugh Blergh!

He spat out a mouthful of blood. Zhuo Xincheng wanted to prop himself up with his hands, but he could not even put any strength behind them.

Arent you overdoing it? Hols could not restrain himself from standing up with a fierce expression. Hes your grandfather, after all.

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, gunshots were heard in rapid succession. The sounds of exploding grenades were also heard.

The rooms floor started to shake.

Lu Sheng tapped on the communicator on his ear.

Master, the federation finally made its move against us. The Gods Eye is also with them, theyve sent their Glorious Knights at us! Hong Shenlus grim voice reached his ears.

Lu Sheng looked out the window. Helicopters were hovering in the skies nearby.

Even though this room was soundproof, the sounds of the firing cannons were still audible.

Our forces here arent enough to fend off the Glorious Knights and the federal High Investigations Department! Master, let us retreat. Our objectives have been achieved. Theres no need to incur unnecessary loss, Hong Shenlu suggested hastily.

Lu Shengs expression remained unchanged.

Forget it. You guys should retreat. Im sick of all this. He slowly removed his earphone.

Aah!

Suddenly, he heard a scream from his earpiece. It was Hong Shenlus voice.

Master, run! Its Augustus! Its Augustuss Gods Eye Divine Army!

With a clack, the connection ended.

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly. He suddenly looked out of the window at the skies.

With his spirits senses, he could tell that his Black Hand troops and his own personal guards were being crushed by the sheer numbers of the enemy forces.

There were three lines of defense, and the enemy had broken through at least two of them. The final line of defense, his personal guards, were making a last desperate struggle.

No its not a struggle Lu Sheng was suddenly stunned. Amazing! His face lit up with admiration.

Amazing! he repeated.

Lin Shengya went over and helped Zhuo Xincheng up. They cowered in one corner of the room with Hols. The three of them could tell that the situation was peculiar.

Give up! Youre surrounded by the police, said Hols in a stern tone and expression.

Lu Sheng ignored him. He turned and walked toward the window.

In his mind, huge patches of red spots, which represented his own blood spirit personal guards, were swiftly turning into green spots at a mind-blowing rate.

The green spots represented the forces of the Gods Eye.

Augustus. In terms of talent alone, youre the best out of all the people Ive met up until now. Lu Sheng looked at the skies through the window.

Helicopters maintained their positions in midair. A slender figure walked slowly out of the cockpit. He was walking toward Lu Sheng in the air.

White veins appeared all over his body. They covered his face, arms, and neck.

The air solidified into steps under his feet. That was how he was able to walk toward Lu Sheng.

The cannons instantly stopped firing. Everyone could not help but look toward the skies.

A persons walking on air!?

The people from the Black Light Hand were not the only ones who were shocked. Even the elites of the Glorious Knights were stunned.

This ability had surpassed the bounds of a simple painter. This was an unprecedented, extraordinary level.

Augustuss short platinum-colored hair stood up. He fixed his cold eyes on Lu Sheng below him. The veins all over his body pulsed with faint, white fluorescent light.

Lin Shengyas jaw dropped. She could almost fit an egg in there. She instantly wondered if she was hallucinating.

After a few painful pinches to her breast, she understood that she was not imagining this.

Zhuo Xincheng applied pressure on the wound on his head. His groggy old eyes looked at the scene, and he could not help but be struck with fear, awe, terror, and finally understanding. He knew now why he had lost.

Everyone underestimated Zhuo Siqing.

Everyone thought of him as an ordinary albeit unconventional painter. Nobody expected there to be a vicious dragon standing behind him.

When they noticed it, they were already covered up by the vicious dragons immense shadow, unable to escape.
