Chapter 103: Lao Men Meeting
Chapter 103: The Ten Masters Meeting (5K chapter, please subscribe)
"Grandpa, the invitation to the Luotian Grand Ceremony at Tianshi Mansion has arrived." Lu Linglong's eyes sparkled with anticipation. She gently took out a beautifully crafted envelope from her pocket and handed it to Lu Jin. "I heard that many extraordinary people are planning to participate this time. It must be exciting."
Lu Jin slowly took the invitation letter. The delicate feel of the paper and the exquisite printing revealed the importance of this event.
He was not in a hurry to open it, but played with the envelope thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something.
Lu Jin snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "These cowardly rats who only dare to play tricks behind the scenes, if they really have the ability, they should challenge the Tianshi Mansion head-on to see how powerful they are."
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the invitation letter on the table beside him. In his eyes, the seemingly important letter did not seem to be worthy of much attention.
Lu Jin also received some inside information about the Luotian Grand Ceremony that would be held at the Tianshi Mansion.
Originally, this was an internal selection of the Tianshi Mansion, but there were always some people with ill intentions who coveted the source of the Qi body of the Eight Wonders. They exerted pressure through various upper-level relationships, forcing the Tianshi Mansion to relax the entry conditions for the Luotian Dajiao.
The reason why these forces in the alien world did this was simply because they didn't want Zhang Chulan to enter Longhu Mountain.
They attempted to weaken Zhang Chulan's competitiveness in the Luotian Dajiao by organizing a so-called "national talent show", thereby reducing his chances of winning.
In Lu Jin's opinion, these methods are nothing more than tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the public.
In the eyes of these forces, as long as Zhang Chulan fails to enter the Tianshi Mansion, they will have countless means to deal with this young man with no background.
They knew very well that an alien without any backing would be destined to become the target of public criticism in this alien world where the strong prey on the weak.
Looking back, didn’t Feng Zhenghao of Tianxiahui also suffer from oppression and bullying before his rise?
Feng Zhenghao's ancestor Feng Tianyang mastered the art of summoning spirits and dispatching generals, but was ultimately unable to protect this unique skill and was forced to hand it over to Wang Ai of the Wang family.
What a cruel yet realistic example this is. It is like a mirror, reflecting the difficult situation Zhang Chulan is facing at the moment.
If Zhang Chulan does not perform well in the upcoming Luotian Grand Ceremony, or fails to join the Tianshi Mansion as he wishes, then a greedy wolf like Wang Ai will pounce on him without hesitation and try to take the Qi Body Origin, one of the Eight Wonders, for himself.
For these people, mastering one more of the Eight Great Skills means having more capital to gain a foothold in this cruel world.
Lu Jin had no intention of sitting idly by. He was clear-headed and could see through the wishful thinking and sinister intentions of those old ghosts.
Since the other party wants to muddy the waters, then don't blame him, Lu Jin, for getting involved.
"Linglong," Lu Jin pondered for a moment and finally spoke, "Please inform the company for me and tell them that I plan to hold a meeting of the ten bosses in Longhu Mountain." He decided to take this opportunity to kick off the upcoming drama.
"Okay, Grandpa." Lu Linglong responded and immediately took out her phone to notify the relevant personnel in the company.
"Xiao Lin, come with me to Longhu Mountain. You have been studying abroad and may not know much about the situation in China. This is a good opportunity."
"Okay, Uncle."
In the Wang family's magnificent hall, Wang Ai had a sinister look on his face. He slammed the cane in his hand heavily on the ground. The dull sound echoed in the hall, as if expressing his dissatisfaction.
"It seems that old man Lu Jin is also planning to join in the fun, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen this time to convene the meeting of the Ten Lords." Wang Ai's voice was full of displeasure and contempt.
In Wang Ai's eyes, Lu Jin was just a person pursuing fame.
The alien world has always been a world where the strong are king.
Only by constantly enhancing one's own strength can we preserve the family's foothold in this world.
To Wang Ai, everything else is just passing clouds and not worth mentioning.
He recalled the once glorious Trinity Sect, which was once on par with the Tianshi Mansion and enjoyed great glory.
But what happened in the end? The disciples of the Trinity Sect died or became disabled, leaving only Lu Jin, a lonely old man.
In Wang Ai's opinion, this is all because of the lack of strength of the Trinity School.
If the Sanyi Sect possessed the strength that Zhang Zhiwei has now, how could Quan Xing dare to offend easily?
Precisely because he has seen clearly the cruel nature of the alien world, Wang Ai is more convinced that only with great strength can he protect everything he has.
Even though other forces now know that the Wang family has mastered the unique skill of summoning spirits and sending generals, no one dares to provoke them easily.
Isn't this just the fear of Wang Ai's strength?
"Mistress!" Wang Ai suddenly shouted.
A figure immediately flashed out from the darkness and stood respectfully in front of Wang Ai: "Master, what do you want?"
"Give Lu Ci a message and tell him that I invite him to visit the Wang family." Wang Ai ordered in a deep voice.
Faced with Lu Jin's aggressive approach, he must discuss countermeasures with Lu Ci.
At this critical juncture, he needs the full support of his allies.
Xiaosan responded and quickly carried out the order.
Wang Ai continued to pace in the hall, thinking and planning his next response strategy.
He knew very well that the competition between Luotian Dajiao and the Eight Wonders had just begun, and he had to be fully prepared.
A day later, the back mountain of Longhu Mountain was covered with lush green trees, bringing coolness to the mountain; against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, the entire mountain range seemed to be washed purer.
The sound of bells echoes in the quiet valley, and each strike seems to be able to penetrate the restlessness of the soul, leading people to feel an unprecedented sense of peace and tranquility.
At this time, Lin Yi was following Lu Jin respectfully, climbing up step by step along the ancient stone steps.
In front of them, the old Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei of Tianshi Mansion, who was hailed as the ceiling of combat power in the world of "Under One Person", was walking slowly forward.
"Old Heavenly Master, I admire your state of mind." Lu Jin said with an unhappy look on his face, "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to stand being pointed at by those guys, and I would have rushed up to let them see how powerful I really am."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the masterminds behind this incident are Wang Ai and Lu Ci.
These two families were accustomed to using this method in the past. Through various conspiracies and tricks, they forcibly seized many skills from the hands of strangers and claimed them as their own.
Hearing Lu Jin's complaint, Zhang Zhiwei narrowed his eyes slightly, and an elusive and deep smile appeared on his face.
He said calmly and indifferently: "Brother Lu Jin, it is indeed incredible to let Chu Lan, an outsider, participate in the selection of the Heavenly Master's successor. Therefore, their reaction is inevitable."
From the moment he decided to let Zhang Chulan participate in the Luotian Dajiao, Zhang Zhiwei had been fully prepared for various possible situations.
Zhang Zhiwei knew clearly that this selection would surely stir up countless disturbances and struggles. He had absolute confidence and sufficient ability to ensure Zhang Chulan's safety and guide him smoothly towards the position of Heavenly Master.
"When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when water comes, we will block it with earth." Zhang Zhiwei's smile revealed a bit of cunning, "The other side has a plan, but I, Zhang Zhiwei, also have a ladder to climb over the wall."
Luotian Grand Ceremony is a grand event of the Tianshi Mansion. If anyone dares to block Zhang Chulan's way, he has his own ways to deal with it and there is no need for outsiders to worry.
Zhang Zhiwei's gaze inadvertently fell on Lin Yi who was following him silently.
He felt that the young man's face was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Zhang Zhiwei turned around and looked at Lu Jin with a somewhat inquiring look.
Seeing this, Lu Jin smiled and said in a teasing tone: "Old Zhang, it seems that you can't hold back your curiosity anymore. I thought you could continue to hold it back."
Then, Lu Jin began to slowly introduce Lin Yi's background: "You should be familiar with his grandfather. He is the fourth disciple of my mentor Zuo Rutong. Back then, his family immigrated overseas to avoid the war, and he also left the Central Plains. Unexpectedly, he has now preserved a bloodline for our Sanyi Sect."
"It turns out that he is the grandson of Lin Laogui," Zhang Zhiwei said sincerely, "It is a blessing to meet the descendants of an old friend in my lifetime."
In this era, there are only a few old friends left, so Zhang Zhiwei is naturally very pleased to see a younger generation like Lin Yi.
While chatting, Lin Yi and the other two had already walked to the vicinity of an ancient pavilion.
Inside the pavilion, several old men had been waiting quietly for a long time. They stood tall and straight, and although they were old, they still exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.
"Old Master."
"Senior Lu Jin." With the arrival of the three people, the elders in the pavilion stood up to greet them, their voices full of respect and reverence.
In the alien world, everything is determined by strength.
As a top master, the old Taoist priest naturally became the leader of the Ten Lords, and no one dared to have any objection to this.
Lu Jin turned around and said to Lin Yi, "Xiao Lin, please wait here for a moment. I have something important to discuss with the old Taoist priest. I will be back soon."
Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded and responded obediently: "Okay, Uncle."
After Lu Jin and Zhang Zhiwei went in, Lin Yi pushed the monocle on his right eye, and several pieces of information appeared in Lin Yi's field of vision.

The attributes of the Ten Lords are pretty much the same, most of them hovering around 25 points. If Lin Yi were to clash with the Ten Lords now, with the exception of Zhang Zhiwei, Lin Yi is confident that he can kill everyone else.
Zhang Zhiwei's attributes were so strong that Lin Yi lost interest in fighting him the moment he saw him for the first time. That overwhelming power seemed like an insurmountable gap.

Zhang Zhiwei's attribute values are so powerful that it is unbelievable. He completely crushes all the ten masters and becomes a unique existence in the world of extraordinary people.
If a fight suddenly broke out in the pavilion at this moment, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Zhiwei could catch all ten bosses in three seconds.
For Zhang Zhiwei, the reputation of "the best" is by no means an empty name.
He won this title with absolute advantage in countless competitions.
Every move he makes is the most powerful interpretation of this title.
Whether it is strength, speed or skills, he has reached a height that is difficult to reach.
Precisely because Zhang Zhiwei possessed such terrifying strength, the Ten Lords had to consider his attitude and position when taking action.
They knew very well that being an enemy of Zhang Zhiwei was like hitting a rock with an egg.
The gap in strength between the two sides has far exceeded the scope of comparison.
Fortunately, this is a peaceful era, and the country's laws and regulations have a restraining effect on everyone's behavior.
In such a social context, even a top master like Zhang Zhiwei must abide by the laws of the country and cannot act at will.
This also allows other forces in the alien world to maintain their independence and self-esteem to a certain extent, so as not to completely succumb to the orders of the Tianshi Mansion.
Despite this, Zhang Zhiwei's deterrent power still shrouds the entire world of extraordinary people, and whenever people mention him, they can't help but express awe.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became tense.
There seemed to be a fierce dispute between Lu Jin and a member of the Ten Lords.
Lu Jin's right hand drew talismans quickly and forcefully in the air, and every stroke was filled with powerful magic power.
As the talisman was gradually completed, the clouds in the sky began to roll and thunder rumbled, as if a storm was brewing above everyone's heads.
Raindrops from the sky began to fall sparsely, gradually wetting everyone's heads.
A strong wind suddenly blew up, and the tiles of the pavilion were blown away piece by piece by the wind. The people in the pavilion were drenched by the rain, and their clothes stuck to their bodies.
Some of the weaker Ten Lords were swaying in the strong wind, barely able to stand still, and could only hold on to the pillars of the pavilion to barely maintain their balance.
This scene fully demonstrates the powerful power of the talismans drawn by Lu Jin.
Amidst the chaos, Wang Ai and Lu Ci appeared unusually calm. They sat on the fence of the pavilion, staring at Lu Jin.
Despite the raging wind, the two men's bodies only swayed slightly, as if they had taken root under their feet and were completely unaffected by the outside world.
Zhang Zhiwei stood firm like a pine or cypress. Even if he stood still, the strong wind seemed powerless to do anything to him.
Except for the fact that his beard was slightly messy due to the wind, he looked calm and composed.
"We have tried our best to gather all the extraordinary people in the world to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony. In fact, everyone knows clearly that there are probably only a few who come here to inherit the position of Heavenly Master."
Lu Jin's voice echoed in the pavilion. He paused and then said, "In this case, I decided to add fuel to the fire of this conference."
He took a deep breath and announced loudly: "The winner of this Luotian Grand Ceremony can choose to give up the right to inherit the Heavenly Master if he wishes, and I will give him the Tongtian Talisman in my hand as a reward."
As soon as Lu Jin finished speaking, the scene fell into dead silence.
Everyone knew clearly what Lu Jin's decision meant.
Tongtian Lu, as one of the Eight Great Skills, its power and value are immeasurable.
Nowadays, the world of extraordinary people is already in turmoil over the succession of an unclear source of Qi body, and the appearance of Tongtian Lu has undoubtedly pushed this struggle to a climax.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the pavilion became extremely solemn.
As the talisman in Lu Jin's hand dissipated, the strong wind gradually subsided and the dark clouds slowly dispersed, revealing a clear sky.
The pavilion was in a mess, but the tranquility at the moment was like the calm before the storm, foreshadowing the turbulent waves that were to come.
A complex emotion flashed in Lu Jin's eyes.
He seldom used the Tongtian Lu, because every time he used it, it reminded him of Zheng Zibu's appearance before his death, which was a past that he could never let go of.
At this moment, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes when he looked at Wang Ai and Lu Ci.
He remembered that these two names were on the list of pursuers that Zheng Zibu mentioned before his death.
