aunt again after just a while You're so fickle!""That's different." Gu Qiao said with a playful smile, "Although I like you, if you can pursue my aunt, I'll voluntarily step aside.""Um... Is there ev...Lucheng, the second largest city in the Zhenlai Empire.

Here, shops line the streets and people throng everywhere, creating a bustling scene.

Lu Cheng's current status and standing are entirely due to a behemoth within its walls, the renowned Lu family, whose fame echoes throughout the entire Kunlun Continent.

The Lu family, as a renowned family of smiths, is known for their ingenious and masterful craftsmanship.

In the cultivation world, being able to control weapons is equivalent to possessing nuclear fire in modern society. Its importance is self-evident.

Many sects vied for friendship with the Lu family, and countless powerful individuals were willing to spend vast sums of money for a suitable weapon.

It is precisely because of this that the Lu family has a renowned name, formidable strength, and immense wealth rivaling that of a nation. Even this city was named after the character "Lu."

The Lu family's mansion was the most luxurious in the entire city, grand and lavish beyond measure.

At this moment, in a small building within the back garden, a slender woman stood by the window. She was beautiful with delicate features, but a trace of melancholy lingered in her eyes.

At this moment, her face was ashen, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

Two people were standing opposite each other. Leading the group was a middle-aged man who looked dignified and even handsome, but there was a hint of malice in his expression. This was Lu Zhaoyang, the current head of the Lu family.

Next to him stood a young man in his twenties, a distinguished disciple of the younger generation of the Lu family and also his loyal follower, Lu Youqin.

Lu Chaoyang looked at the woman before him, a sly smile on his face.

"My dear sister-in-law, how are you considering my proposal Will you give me an answer"

"Get out of here!"

Originally, the woman was Lu Chaozong's fiancee, Liu Yue'niang, known as the first beauty in Zhenlai Country.

Since Lu Chaozong went missing, she has been under house arrest here.

I tell you, I will never slander my man, no matter what. Just give up that thought.

Lu Chaoyang chuckled. "There's no need to be so absolute, it's really quite simple. Just say that the name of Kunlun's artifact god is fake and you were also deceived."

Cut all ties with him from now on, and make a clean break.

Just say that, and I'll set you free immediately, and I'll also give you a huge sum of money that you'll never be able to spend in your lifetime. What a great deal.

"Lu Chaoyang, you heartless and vicious creature, you even schemed against your own brother!"

Get out of here right now! I'm telling you, I will never do what you say!

"You wretched woman, open your eyes and see who you're talking to! If you anger the master, you are doomed to die."

Lu Youqin shouted angrily, "Tomorrow is the opening day of the Alchemy Competition. Today is your last chance. Once you miss it, there will be no more opportunities to find one."

By then, you will be the grand prize of the Alchemy Competition, taken away by anyone who wants you.

Lu Chao yang said again: "That's right, once it becomes a prize, fate is no longer in your hands. You never know who it might end up in the hands of."

Liu Yue'niang gritted her teeth: “You can’t scare me, get out of here!”

"Why are you doing this to yourself"

Lu Chaoyang shook his head, a look of regret on his face. "My older brother is a complete scoundrel. He seduced my aunt and drove my father to death. Is this kind of man worthy of you"

"Bah, I don't believe it!"

"Liu Yue's tone was firm. "I know my man, he would never do such a thing. It must be you, a despicable villain, who framed him."

Whether you believe it or not is unimportant, what matters is that everyone in the world believes it now.

Lu Chao yang burst into a cocky laugh, "There's really no need. No matter what, you are the first beauty of Zhenlai Country. Even without my big brother, he could find another good man. Is there any need for her to die defending him"

Liu Yue's expression revealed a resolute determination: "Though I am a woman, I understand the meaning of loyalty and righteousness. For the rest of my life, I will never seek another man."

"Such devotion, yet what does it matter"

Lu Chaoyang said, "So long has passed, has he ever come back to see you, has he ever sent any news"

"It's all your fault."

Liu Yue's patience wore thin, and she turned her head to look out the window directly. "You may leave now," she said. "Provocation is useless against me."

"He's really out of touch."

Lu Chaoyang's smile instantly vanished, "Then you just wait to become the prize."

He beckoned toward the door, and two maidservants immediately came in.

"Keep an eye on her, make sure she doesn't commit suicide and there are no accidents."

After saying that, he walked out of the room with a grim expression. Lu Youqin quickly followed behind him.

"Master, this wretched woman is truly blind to reality. Should I think of a way to deal with her"

"It's not necessary. If people find out, it would ruin my reputation."

After going out, Lu Chaoyang's expression eased a lot. "Originally I just wanted my good brother to taste the feeling of being betrayed by his lover again, but unfortunately this woman isn't cooperating."

But it's all good, teamwork makes the dream work, but if not, no worries.

I want everyone in the world to know that his woman will become a prize, a plaything for others. Though the Lu family ultimately wins, it's his people who are lost!

At this point, a cruel smile spread across his face. "He's always relied on his talent for alchemy and looked down on me since we were kids. Now what He's just being played like a puppet in my hands."

His family's position is mine, his honors are mine, and his women belong to me.

Lu Youqin wore a fawning smile: "Of course, Lu Zhaozong is a simpleton, he's no match for the head of the family."

Lu Chao yang said: "I really don't know where he hid to. He hasn't contacted me in so many years. I have no choice but to use this last resort."

Lu Youqin followed up, saying, "The master's plan is truly brilliant. He has destroyed what he cares about most, his reputation, and taken away the woman he loves the most. Lu Zhaozong, as long as he is alive, will definitely appear."

Lu Chaoyang's lips curled into a smug smile: "Have you prepared everything I asked for"

"Rest assured, Master. As long as Lu Zhaozong appears, he won't leave alive!"

Lu Youqin then said, "Patriarch, I just don't understand one thing. Isn't it a good thing that Lu Chaozong has never shown up Why do we have to find him"

"You're looking at the problem too superficially. When dealing with important matters, you need to use your brain more!"

Lu Zhaoyang didn't hide anything from this trusted subordinate. "First, the Lu family is based on refining weapons. Although I am the head of the family now, the title of Kunlun Artifact God is not in my hands. This has always been a hidden danger."

If this goes on, it will affect the reputation of my Lu family in the Kunlun Continent. In a few years, those old guys from the Elders' Council will also start causing trouble.

Lu Youqin nodded frequently: "The head of the house is right, I looked too shallowly."

A greedy glint flashed in Lu Zhaoyang's eyes: "The other fire has always been on Lu Chaozong, and there's also his unique Tian Gong forging technique. These two things are priceless treasures that I must have."

Last of all, there's Liu Yue'niang. If I were to possess her now, I would be scorned by the world and the elders would never approve.

"Let me wait until I become the new Kūlun Device God, and win her as a prize. Then she'll be mine, hahaha..."ng felt a dizziness and almost fell to the ground.The feelings have been relayed to the Xuan Yuan Pavilion, and one of my own men, that fool, managed to capture not only Ye Bufan but also the entire Z...
