"Zhou Yunqiong sent someone?"

In the room, upon hearing the news, Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown.

After the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, it seemed there had been no contact with her?

Why approach all of a sudden?

"Yes, King Lu."

In front of him, Zhu Qingyu spoke, "She said she came to apologize and clear up some misunderstandings, and the Winged Celestial God came too."

Now, as long as Lu Yuan was in Taishan, she acted as the liaison.

For matters big and small, she would report on his behalf.

This was specially arranged by Elder Ji.

After all.

Not everything could be handled by King Lu personally, right?

Having a meticulous girl by his side.

Would surely be more convenient.

As for Zhu Qingyu, she naturally did not refuse, considering it as an opportunity for more interaction.

So whenever there was an issue, she would come and inform first.

"Clear up misunderstandings?"

Lu Yuan smiled and immediately said, "Interesting, then let them come over."

As for Zhou Yunqiong, in a past life, he would have been keenly interested.

But due to past experiences.

He thoroughly understood.

This woman's scheming was deep, and her ambitions were vast.

Moreover, she possessed a terrifying bloodline and was bound to become a strong figure in the future.

Especially when he learned through Jiang Ningxian of her connections with the Ji family, Lu Yuan felt his understanding of Zhou Yunqiong was insufficient, which piqued his curiosity, wanting to know what she intended.

"Alright." Zhu Qingyu nodded immediately upon hearing that and then walked out of the room.

Lu Yuan then went to the courtyard outside to wait, which was spacious enough.

If anything happened later, it would be more convenient.

And soon after, two figures appeared.

It was Zuo Shu and Yi.

Upon entering the courtyard, Zuo Shu saw Lu Yuan and immediately stepped forward, slightly bowing, "King Lu."

He was very polite, with a tone of respect, keeping a low profile.

Part of it was due to Zhou Yunqiong's instructions.

And also.

Knowing Lu Yuan's strength far surpassed his own, such an attitude was appropriate.

However, Yi maintained his previous arrogance, with an indifference in his eyes.

Obviously not coming voluntarily.

Because of this.

Lu Yuan said nothing, merely watching quietly.

"King Lu, on the orders of Miss, I'm here to apologize for the incident at the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum. Miss has been uneasy about the trouble it caused you, just being too busy lately to spare the energy until now."

Zuo Shu spoke with a smile and continued, "So she also sent Yi, hoping for your forgiveness."

After speaking, he presented a box containing three Spirit Fruits.

These Spirit Fruits emanated a faint, ethereal radiance throughout.

Exuding an extremely pure power.

It can almost be said.

They reached the level of Divine Artifacts, though compared to the likes of the Ancient Bodhi Tree, they were far inferior.

Still, for Zhou Yunqiong to bring out such items, and three at once, demonstrated sincerity.

"Actually, there isn't really any misunderstanding between her and me, so there's no need for this."

At the sight of the three Spirit Fruits, Lu Yuan immediately understood.

The other side, after knowing his strength.

Deemed him of certain value.

And thus, sought to ease relations.

But it was too overt, not quite Zhou Yunqiong's style.

Still, it made sense; Lu Yuan understood that his rapid rise must have defied expectations, necessitating this approach.

Yet clearly.

He didn't mind.

"Whether King Lu believes there's a misunderstanding is not the point."

Zuo Shu spoke once more, "The key is, this is Miss's heartfelt gesture, sincerely hoping King Lu will accept."

In his mind, as long as the gift was given, his task was considered complete.

So, his stance remained as before, choosing to persist a bit longer.

"I understand her meaning."

Lu Yuan stood up, seeing the purpose, and not wanting further entanglement, continued, "Please pass on that I bear no grudges towards her; past relations were merely in the past, there's nothing that needs reconciliation."

His meaning was clear: each should go their separate way and not get involved further.

In truth, Lu Yuan never intended to have any dealings with Zhou Yunqiong.

This woman's schemes were too deep.

Better to avoid.

Of course.

If she insisted on provocation, he was unafraid.

Zuo Shu, being an astute person, instantly caught the meaning behind the words and couldn't help but frown.

Beside him, the Winged Celestial God could no longer hold back, taking a step forward and squinting his eyes, "Lu Yuan, Yunqiong tasked me to personally come to Taishan, which is already granting you face. You'd better agree; otherwise, you'll regret it in the future!"

He was compelled to come, having to heed Zhou Yunqiong's words.

But facing Lu Yuan.

The Winged Celestial God found it hard to swallow his pride.

Why should he apologize?

Why did the other overshadow him time and again?

His heart harbored much resentment, even though before coming, Zhou Yunqiong had instructed him not to speak much.

Yet under his proud nature, he no longer wished to endure.

He had the bloodline of the Celestial Race.

And the other?

Was just a mere human.

But now, Lu Yuan was hailed as unparalleled in the world, the foremost in combat prowess.

He only felt his pride severely wounded.

"Mr. Yi!" Zuo Shu saw this scene and immediately stopped the other party from saying more.

Then he looked at Lu Yuan, bowed slightly, and continued: "I hope King Lu won't take it to heart. Since you have already decided, it would be inappropriate for me to disturb you. Mr. Yi, let's go. You are not a match for King Lu right now."

With that, he was ready to pull the Winged Celestial God away.

However, the meaning in his words was somewhat strange.

Sure enough.

The Winged Celestial God was instantly enraged upon hearing this.

"I may not measure up to him now, but I am the descendant of the Celestial Race, possessing a bloodline inheritance!"

At this moment, however, the Winged Celestial God erupted, staring coldly at Lu Yuan: "Today, whether you accept this apology or not, you must accept it, or else once my race arrives, the situation will reverse."

That's right; his greatest assurance right now was the impending arrival of his race, known across the stars for their prowess in battle.

Having personally come, he found it intolerable that he was being overlooked.

Since the new age began,

The Winged Celestial God had always been the center of attention, already filled with resentment from being suppressed.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Shu furrowed his eyebrows tightly, his expression changing, but surprisingly, he did not intervene.

Opposite, Lu Yuan remained calm, slowly standing up: "I recall that in the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, you showed killing intent towards me more than once, didn't you?"

"So what?"

The Winged Celestial God stepped forward, eyes like daggers: "Indeed, I'm not your match, but don't forget, no matter how strong you are, you're only one person..."

Boom.

Before he could finish speaking.

Lu Yuan suddenly took a step forward, his entire aura bursting forth.

Golden Qi Blood surged continuously, like a volcanic eruption.

Opposite.

The Winged Celestial God only felt an overwhelming pressure approaching.

Before he could react, he began to retreat continuously.

The gap was too great.

Lu Yuan, relying solely on his aura, sent him flying backward.

"Ah~"

At this moment, the Winged Celestial God roared, his entire body enveloped in light.

His black hair turned silver, his body grew taller.

A pair of white wings emerged, vibrating slightly, arcs of electricity appeared, entangling the wings, making him look formidable.

This is the form of the Celestial Race; in this state, the Winged Celestial God's combat power was directly multiplied several times over.

He was also in the Shackles Realm, but having released all his power now, he was even stronger.

Capable of contending with an ordinary Awakened in the Golden Body Realm.

At this moment, the Winged Celestial God did not hesitate and directly swooped toward Lu Yuan.

The wings of wind and thunder began to vibrate.

Powerful energy gathered around him, surging with a roar.

Outside, Elder Ji, Elder Yun, and Zhu Qingyu were all drawn to the scene.

Seeing the Winged Celestial God attack Lu Yuan, they were shocked, but they did not step forward, knowing it wasn't necessary.

Jiang Ningxian also walked out from the side, watching with interest: "Celestial bloodline, huh? Not bad, but still far from being outstanding compared to the direct lineage."

Bzzz~

In the courtyard, electric arcs spread, flickering continuously.

Such immense power would undoubtedly be enough to destroy the entire house.

Yet Lu Yuan stood there like an immovable sea-calming god, golden Qi blood surging.

Unexpectedly suppressing all the power the Winged Celestial God displayed.

As he stepped out once more.

His heart beat.

Everyone present felt an immense force, a sense of oppression.

Opposite, the Winged Celestial God, who had just released his form and was ready to fight, began to tremble all over.

His proud physique instantly cracked, bleeding continuously, but due to the special nature of his bloodline, the impact wasn't significant, as he wasn't truly human after all.

But all this was just the beginning.

Lu Yuan clenched his right fist.

Qi Blood gathered, radiating golden light.

And the Winged Celestial God truly felt a threat to his life.

"How dare you! I am of the Celestial Race, a race from the Outer Realm, soon to descend upon this world. If you kill me, you'll offend the Celestial Race. Not only you, but everyone connected to you will pay the price!"

He was flustered but remained somewhat composed, invoking the so-called Celestial Race to try to intimidate Lu Yuan.

The Winged Celestial God had heard more than once how powerful his race was.

Anyone from there would be a true powerhouse.

However,

This had no effect on Lu Yuan.

He slightly utilized the power of the Great Sun.

Then controlled the force; he simply swung a punch effortlessly.

Boom!

Splurt~

The next moment, the Winged Celestial God directly disintegrated, blood spurting out but quickly evaporated.

Just like that, once revered as one of the Five Great Venerables, he was left with nothing under that punch.

"Luckily, I nearly dirtied my courtyard." After finishing, Lu Yuan turned to see if any area had gotten dirty, as if slaying the Winged Celestial God was inconsequential to him.

Everyone, witnessing this, was speechless, Elder Ji and Elder Yun, among others, still remaining in place.

Now, whatever Lu Yuan did, they generally supported him.

Especially since it was the other party who provoked first.

As for Zuo Shu from the Wu Zhou Group, he lightly closed his eyes upon witnessing this.

Then took a deep breath to steady his emotions: "King Lu, I just want to know, why you refuse to let go of past grievances with the young lady. With your power combined with the young lady and the Zhou Family's resources and foundation, you are bound for great accomplishments in the future."

He didn't grudge the Winged Celestial God's death but instead asked about this matter.

This made everyone feel very strange.

The Winged Celestial God.

Was supposed to be one of the most valued figures of the Wu Zhou Group, yet his death wasn't a concern?

Lu Yuan, upon hearing these words, turned his head slightly, gently speaking: "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's that I don't want to."

"Understood."

Zuo Shu, hearing this, slightly bowed.

Then turned around without hesitation, ready to leave immediately.

"Wait."

At this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly said: "Tell Zhou Yunqiong to stop trying to involve herself with me, otherwise, the Wu Zhou Group, the Zhou Family, I will personally pay them a visit."
