Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 244 A Weakened Version of the Human Emperor's Banner

Upon hearing this, Wan Laogui's previously despairing expression instantly ignited with hope. He quickly followed Foxfire Dragon's gaze and immediately spotted the tall, handsome young man standing next to Fox Xiaoni.

Although the other person looked to be only in his early twenties, he gave him a sense of unfathomable mystery.

He also found it hard to believe that Lu Yang, the top alchemy master mentioned by Foxfire Dragon, was actually so young. If he didn't know that the other party would never lie to his old friend, he would seriously suspect that the two of them had conspired to deceive him.

However, Wan Laogui still lowered his voice and asked the other party curiously, "Elder Fox, is he really a top-notch alchemy master at such a young age?"

"Furthermore, you said that the opponent's martial arts strength is also terrifyingly powerful?"

Foxfire Dragon nodded solemnly and said, "Old Ghost, you have to believe me. Besides, things have come to this point, and you have no choice but to truly believe that Master Lu can save your Wan family!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Laogui nodded secretly. If they hadn't asked Lu Yang for help today, their Wan family would have been wiped out by the other three major families without any doubt.

He immediately nodded to Foxfire Dragon and said, "Elder Fox, then you will contact Master Lu to explain the situation. As long as Master Lu can save our Wan family, we will not only offer up our family's most treasured artifact, but we will also be at Master Lu's beck and call in the future, without hesitation!"

Upon hearing this, Foxfire Dragon immediately raised its voice and pleaded with Lu Yang, "Master Lu, please, I beg you to save us! The Wan family patriarch, Old Ghost Wan, is willing to offer up the Wan family's most treasured artifact, the Ghost-Raising Banner, and the Wan family will be at Master Lu's beck and call from now on, serving as his slaves without hesitation!"

Lu Yang was as swift as a dragon, with truly keen hearing and eyesight. Although there was some distance between them, when he arrived here, he immediately spotted Fox Fire Dragon, Fox Xiaoni's grandfather, and even overheard their conversation.

However, he didn't actually agree immediately. Instead, he curiously asked Hu Xiaoni beside him, "Xiaoni, what exactly is this 'Ghost-Raising Banner,' the treasure of the Wan family?"

He had only heard of the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner from the information he had inherited, but had never heard of the Ghost-Raising Banner.

Before Hu Xiaoni could speak, Li Ruyun spoke up, explaining, "Master Lu, Old Ghost Wan is the head of the Wan family, one of the martial arts families in our Stone City. The Wan family is said to be a legendary ghost cultivation family, possessing a powerful array and an even more formidable ghost-raising banner!"

"The Ghost-Raising Banner, as the name suggests, is a spiritual artifact capable of raising ghosts!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang roughly understood, and couldn't help but think to himself, "Isn't this a simplified version of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner?"

He knew the power and terror of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner.

Some people even call the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner the Human Emperor Banner, which shows how rare this treasure is.

Although the Ghost-Raising Banner, a weakened version of a spiritual artifact, is not as terrifying as the Human Emperor Banner, it can still unleash one ten-thousandth of the Human Emperor Banner's power if used properly.

Even with only one ten-thousandth of its power, it can still truly roam freely in this secular world.

Even in the extraordinary world, powerful spiritual artifacts like the Ghost-Raising Banner are something that many extraordinary beings want to fight over.

At this moment, Fox Xiaoni noticed that the Foxfire Dragon in the distance was constantly winking at her. She immediately understood and knelt down, pleading with Lu Yang, "Master Lu, please, please save Grandpa Wan and my grandfather!"

"I will definitely repay you properly in the future..."

Lu Yang had already made up his mind. He helped Hu Xiaoni up and nodded, saying, "Xiaoni, since you've pleaded so earnestly, I naturally have no reason to refuse. Don't worry, as long as you're here with me today, no one will be able to harm your grandfather or the Wan family!"

Wei Tuqiong had been watching Lu Yang, whom Foxfire Dragon called Master Lu, and now, upon hearing that the other party had actually agreed to rescue the Wan family and Foxfire Dragon from the clutches of their three major families, he immediately looked at him with disdain and said, "Boy, who do you think you are, trying to rescue people from our three major families?"

Yu Jingchuan and Wu Zhoudi also looked at Lu Yang with scrutiny and mockery.

They wondered who Lu Yang really was, that he was just a mere kid, but Foxfire Dragon addressed him as Master Lu and even persuaded Old Ghost Wan to offer up the entire Wan family in exchange for his help.

Could it be that this young man has some extraordinary background?

Suddenly, Yu Jingchuan saw Yu Ping next to Lu Yang. At this moment, Yu Ping looked obedient, even more obedient and respectful than when he saw him.

He immediately shouted, "Ping'er, come to my side quickly!"

Yu Ping cautiously pleaded with Lu Yang, "Young Master Lu, my grandfather wants me to come over. I hope you can let me go. I will try to persuade my grandfather and the entire Yu family not to oppose you, and I can even help you deal with the other two major families!"

Lu Yang nodded and said, "Very good, then you can go ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ping was truly dumbfounded.

He never expected that Lu Yang would actually agree to let him leave. He thought the other party wouldn't let him go so easily!

However, little did he know that the reason Lu Yang let him go so easily was because Lu Yang was not afraid that he would betray the Yu family after going to the head of the family.

Because in Lu Yang's eyes, no one could truly betray him; if anyone did, they would ultimately be nothing more than a cold corpse.

Although Yu Ping was somewhat surprised, the clever man quickly realized that Lu Yang might not be afraid at all that he would not return and would betray him halfway.

Because he immediately noticed the confidence and the mocking look in the other person's eyes.

Yu Ping immediately assured Lu Yang, "Young Master Lu, rest assured, I will not betray you halfway. I will truly try to dissuade our Yu family head!"

As he spoke, Yu Ping quickly walked up to Yu Jingchuan and whispered the situation in his ear.

As Yu Ping recounted his story, Yu Jingchuan's expression, which had initially scoffed at Lu Yang, gradually became more complex.

Because he learned from Yu Ping that Lu Yang's martial arts strength was so terrifying that he could kill more than ten powerful martial artists in an instant when they faced him together.

This level of martial arts skill is probably far superior to any of the martial artists present.

There's a real possibility that the other side might actually be able to rescue the Wan family and others from the clutches of those three major martial arts families.

His mind raced, and he quickly made the right choice: to stop getting involved in dealing with the Wan family. It would be a huge loss if he ended up making enemies with Lu Yang and causing heavy losses to the Yu family.
