Chapter 039: The Lion-Headed Masked Man
The masked man's words made the break room explode.
"Damn, what do you mean, kid, don't you want to die!"
"Your turtle grandson is cannon fodder, even if you are against Chen Hao, Lao Tzu is not afraid!"
......
The shouting and scolding came and went for a while, but it didn't take long for the room to fall silent.
Because the masked man is right, they all have foreseen their next defeat in the big competition.
Although there are a few people who are not weak, they all have self-knowledge and know who they will probably lose to in which round, and it is almost impossible to win the championship in the big competition and get the opportunity to go to Jixia Academy for further study.
Seeing everyone's reactions, the masked man nodded with satisfaction and continued: "This time, Wanqiu Dabi is supervised by an envoy sent by Luo Tiancheng, which is a good opportunity to show the family style. ”
"So, even if we don't win, we should perform well and try to get to the next round. If we can be favored by the envoy and bring benefits to the family, we will also benefit ourselves, do you agree?"
The masked man is very good at talking, and his words directly confused these young people who don't have much experience.
But when you think about it, what he said does make sense.
In order to motivate the members of the clan to participate in the big competition, the senior leaders of each family have prepared rich rewards for the children of the family who have performed well in the big competition.
Although these awards pale in comparison to the admission qualifications of Kinoshita Academy, they are still worth fighting for to everyone present.
"And then, go on, don't sell it. ”
"Wait, do you have exercises to improve your strength? How much, I bought it!"
......
Can't wait to hear what the masked man will say, everyone urges one after another.
"Hehe, I don't have that kind of exercise. The masked man smiled mysteriously, "But I have other plans to help you advance." ”
"Oh, what a ploy?" the masked man had just finished speaking, and someone immediately asked.
Before you know it, he has gained everyone's trust.
"Look, this is the grouping situation of the preliminary test of this big competition. ”
As he spoke, the masked man took out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve, and then used the method of qi manipulation to hover the paper in mid-air and spread it out flat.
"Fengzi Group A, Lu Ping'an of the Lu family, you must be familiar with this name recently, right?"
The masked man raised his finger to Lu Ping'an's name and said to everyone.
"Of course I know, the new genius of the Lu family, the high-grade bloodline of the Xuan Rank, is simply against the sky. ”
"It is said that the bloodline has undergone a second evolution, and if you count Lu Qianqiu, there are two Xuan-level bloodlines in the younger generation of the Lu family. ”
"So what? I heard that he was just stripped of his skills by the elders of the family three months ago, how much can he recover in three months?"
......
The contestants in the lounge were once again chattering.
Soon, a smart person with a brain found a problem from the group, and exclaimed: "No, Lu Ping'an and I were ......."
"Wait, don't mention acquaintances' names here. ”
The masked man immediately interrupted, "I sent out a total of thirty-seven invitations today, but there are only sixteen people in the lounge at this time, which means that even I can't be sure who is there. ”
"For the sake of secrecy, please pay attention to your words and do not reveal your identity, which is good for everyone. ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone vaguely understood something, and they all closed their mouths, quietly waiting for the masked man's next speech.
"Lu Ping'an has a Xuan-level high-grade bloodline, and the speed of advancement cannot be measured by common sense, and no one dares to give a definitive conclusion about his current strength. ”
The masked man continued to say in a deep voice: "Someone may have seen that the people I invited today are all people who are likely to face Lu Ping in the big competition. If we can't defeat him, we'll be his stepping stone to the limelight in front of the envoy. ”
"What do you mean...... Is it for us to cooperate in the primaries and join forces to deal with him first?"
"No, it's useless. The masked man shook his head and said, "Lu Ping'an is Tian He's good brother, and the preliminary test group must have been formulated under the latter's careful consideration." Although we were very unwilling, we were indeed the weaker group of players in this big competition. ”
After the masked man said this, the lounge suddenly fell silent, and he saw that the contestants who were invited by him all lowered their heads one by one, looking dejected.
Indeed, with their level of strength, even if three or five people join forces, they are not much stronger.
Moreover, the news that Lu Ping'an's cultivation was abolished, if it was a smoke bomb released by the Lu family, their hope of winning would be even slimmer.
"The path of cultivation is a path of cultivation, ordinary cultivators like us who have no talent and no background, if they don't have the determination to die, how can they break out of the world?"
The masked man seized the opportunity of everyone's low mood, raised his voice, and said loudly: "Yes, Lu Ping'an is very talented, and his future is limitless, but he is only a cultivator of the martial arts realm now." And we have sixteen people here, if sixteen of us join forces, we still can't kill him?"
Finally, the masked man showed his fangs, and the purpose of his initiation of this secret talk was precisely to kill Lu Ping'an!
"Hiss......"
Hearing this, everyone gasped.
It didn't take long for someone to object: "But...... If Lu Ping'an dies, Lu Songyin will let us go?"
As a genius with the highest bloodline rank in the history of the Lu family and even Wanqiu City, Lu Songyin would not be indifferent to his death even if he didn't ask about the world.
Just ask the thunderous wrath of a Yuanwu Realm powerhouse, who can afford it?
"Hehe, what's there to worry about? The masked man said in an indifferent tone: "According to the information I have, Lu Ping'an should be cultivating outside the city recently. ”
"As long as we kill him outside Wanqiu City, so that the gods are unaware of ghosts, the Lu family will never find the murderer!"
With that, the masked man got up from his seat and walked to the door of the lounge.
Before stepping out of the threshold, he finally left a sentence: "Tomorrow on the fifth watch, gather outside the East City Gate, I hope you will go back and think about it." ”
As the masked man and the two entourages walked away, everyone in the room dispersed one after another, and returned to the clan land with a tangled mood.
Outside the martial arts training ground, the masked man and two attendants got into a carriage and drove slowly along a remote path towards Wanqiu City.
Passing by an inn outside the city, the three of them got out of the carriage, and after staying in the store for a while, they quietly left and walked on foot.
The three of them traveled all the way, circled around the city several times, and after making sure that no one was following, they climbed over the city wall and returned to Lufu.
In the land of the Lu family, in front of the fishing pavilion by Taihe Lake, the masked man took off the lion head mask with the function of changing his voice, revealing a hideous and cunning old face.
Yes, this masked man is none other than Lu Tianwang, the elder of the Lu family's Law Enforcement Hall and the one who has assassinated Lu Ping'an many times before!
As the agent of the Lu family, he was busy maintaining order in the city for the City Lord's Mansion all day today, and he had no time to be distracted by Lu Ping'an's affairs.
In the evening, the cronies he sent out came back to communicate, and the three Zhang Xuan, who had been missing for a long time, were found dead five miles west of the city, and the spirit stones and magic weapons on their bodies were taken away.
Hearing this news, Lu Tianwang finally understood that it turned out that Lu Ping'an had been confusing himself all along.
It's not that Zhang Xuan and the others didn't find Lu Ping'an, but they were killed by this damn boy!
Lu Ping'an showed such terrifying potential, which strengthened Lu Tianwang's determination to get rid of it and never suffer in the future.
