100: Chapter 100 An Old Friend? That's my blood relative!

"Tsk, didn't even say thank you."

Lu Qingyun walked out shouldering a blood-stained pitch-black iron hammer, lamenting the decline of moral standards.

Clearly, he was doing this for everyone's sake, yet in the end, he was insulted!

It was truly heartbreaking!

Fortunately, he was fast enough; one hammer strike, and after hearing just the beginning, there wasn't a sound left afterward.

After sweeping the area once more with his Psychic Power and seeing no health bars, confirming that not even an earthworm was left, Lu Qingyun finally put away the large hammer and headed down the mountain.

It must be said, after spending some time smashing people with a hammer, he found this kind of heavy-duty weapon surprisingly handy.

The era of the blood ray blade had passed!

Now taking over was the Black Meteor Hammer, which had an even higher quality than the blood ray blade!

It was just that, currently, Lu Qingyun's level in Hammer Intent had only just reached level three, far lower than his Blade Intent.

This thing still needed to be used more to become stronger!

Down the mountain, everything was deathly silent.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Lu Qingyun had originally intended to let Shi Jian and his group go up to scavenge and strip everything of value to bring back, while he went to the Zhang Family alone to repeat the operation.

Dual-track operation—higher efficiency.

Yet, he hadn't expected to see someone extremely familiar here!

"Director Jiang?"

The mature woman, who was surrounded with her hands raised above her head, making her chest look even more plump and perky, heard the voice and looked at Lu Qingyun, a trace of confusion on her face.

Although her surname was Jiang, she was not any kind of director.

Seeing the confusion in the woman's eyes, Lu Qingyun looked closely.

From the health bar above her head, he saw her real name—Jiang Xianyue.

Oh, she was also from the Jiang Family.

She looked a bit similar; at first glance, it was easy to mistake her for the other person.

"Sorry, I mistook you for an old acquaintance of mine."

Lu Qingyun said with a chuckle, and while he was at it, asked Shi Jian what was going on here.

After receiving the answer, he nodded.

Jiang Xianyue felt a surge of joy upon hearing this.

She didn't know this group of people, and now that the real leader of this group had arrived, she had been worried that they might kill her directly to keep their secret.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better!

Judging by his tone, someone in her clan was an old acquaintance of this person!

That meant she was safe!

"Haha, then the person who is an old acquaintance of yours must be from my same lineage. I wonder what her name is; perhaps I know her."

Jiang Xianyue lowered her hands, a smile on her face, looking quite happy.

Lu Qingyun narrowed his eyes and calmly spat out a name he had previously learned from Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan.

"Jiang Nishang."

Hearing this name, Jiang Xianyue was overjoyed!

Because among the people the Jiang Family currently had in various places searching for and cultivating geniuses, Jiang Nishang was one of them!

Although she had only met her a few times and didn't really know her, that didn't mean she couldn't pretend to be close!

She figured that since Jiang Nishang was dispatched by the Jiang Family to befriend geniuses and cultivate powerhouses, if she could be an old acquaintance of this young-looking man, she must have given him a lot of help during his growth process!

Just as the Jiang Family had always done in the past.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xianyue immediately said with an excited face: "It's actually Cousin Nishang! I have a very good relationship with her, though I haven't seen her for several years. I didn't expect her to be your old acquaintance! It really is a case of a misunderstanding among family! May I ask how you and Cousin Nishang know each other?"

"Oh, she previously hired people to kill me, but didn't succeed."

Lu Qingyun's gaze was calm, the smile on his face undiminished, as if he were talking about a very ordinary matter.

Instantly, the expression on Jiang Xianyue's face froze.

Things... seemed to be a little bit off!

And Lu Qingyun, as if suddenly realizing something, narrowed his eyes: "You just said you have a very good relationship with her?"

Swish—! Swish—!!

Blades were drawn from their sheaths.

Shi Jian and the others, with murderous expressions, stared at Jiang Xianyue.

They were fully prepared to chop Jiang Xianyue into mince at Lu Qingyun's command!

"No, no, no!!"

Jiang Xianyue was so scared she almost wet her pants. Although she was a Jiang Family disciple, she was currently only at the Aperture-Opening Realm.

How could she withstand the killing intent of so many innate powerhouses?

She wanted to defend herself, but Lu Qingyun spoke first: "Since you have a very good relationship with her, you must have a way to trick her back to Ningan, right?"

"I don't want to spend time looking for her; running this trip is a waste of time. If you can trick her into coming back, it doesn't matter what method you use, and it doesn't matter if she returns to your Jiang Family headquarters or somewhere else—that's fine. Can you do it?"

Given how he said it, whether she could do it or not, she had to do it!!

If she didn't, she would likely be hacked into a blood mist on the spot.

"Absolutely no problem!!"

"My relationship with Cousin Nishang is rock solid! I guarantee I will complete the mission."

Jiang Xianyue's gaze was firm; she almost believed the authenticity of this relationship herself.

"Hmm."

Lu Qingyun nodded.

Afterward, he gave instructions to Shi Jian and the others, then headed towards the Zhang Family alone.

The night was deep, and the timing was just right.

After the people around dispersed, Jiang Xianyue leaned against the car, her whole body slowly sliding down.

She gasped for breath, her complexion deathly pale.

It was as if she had just returned from a trip through the gates of hell.

She watched Shi Jian and his group walk towards the Zhao Family Villa, then remembered Lu Qingyun's instructions to her, her gaze dazed.

She didn't understand; she had only come to the Zhao Family to discuss a small business deal.

How did it turn into this?

This group of people... what exactly was their background!?

The Zhao Family, had they been wiped out by them!?

Just needing to trick her into coming back, no matter where it was, even at the Jiang Family headquarters...

Did this mean that even if the Jiang Family headquarters had a Sky-Walking Grandmaster sitting in it, he had enough capital to go there and forcibly kill Jiang Nishang?

Jiang Xianyue looked up; inside the Zhao Family Villa, everything was deathly silent, as quiet as if a giant beast from the night had swallowed it in one gulp!

"Hoo—, that's my own blood kin!"

"However, trading her life for mine, it's worth it!"

After calming down, Jiang Xianyue looked at the driver who had been knocked unconscious by Shi Jian not far away.

She frowned.

She walked over slowly and used that pair of high heels made from the fangs of a ferocious beast to step on the driver's chest.

Then... Pfft—!

It pierced into his heart, completely stopping his breathing!

There was no other way; she didn't want others to know about what had just happened.

Even though the driver was likely in a comatose state, she was unwilling to gamble on any possibility.

"Just now, that person seemed to say he was going to... the Zhang Family?"

Jiang Xianyue recalled some rumors she had heard in recent days; the Zhang Family's only seedling seemed to have been killed.

The murderer was a kid named Lu Qingyun... very young.

That person just now was also very young...

Vroom—!

The engine roared, providing enough horsepower.

It allowed that luxury car to drive away from the Zhao Family, this deathly silent villa that was completely out of place with the rest of the Inner City.
