After hearing this, Lu Jin calmed down considerably: "Linglong is right."

Lu Linglong pressed on while the iron was hot: "Grandpa, there's no time to lose. Let's get ready quickly to avoid any complications."

Lu Jin nodded slightly. When Li Muxuan was young, he was lawless and made quite a few enemies.

He glanced at Lu Linglong, feeling much more relaxed, and couldn't help but laugh, "So eager to see Huai Dan?"

I felt greatly comforted.

Lu Linglong rolled her eyes at night, of course she really wanted to see Brother Huaidan, but even though her great-grandfather was vomiting blood, he still came to tease her.

“It’s already so late, cousin, why don’t we set off tomorrow morning?”

Lu Lin hadn't spoken yet.

Lu Jin slammed her hand on the armrest: "Leave now! Leave now!"

……

The fishing boat had entered the waters of Xia Kingdom, and the group reunited on the deck, except for Baron.

He was picked up by the Jade Association's ship shortly after boarding.

At the horizon where the sky and sea blend seamlessly, the outline of a continent emerges, with rolling mountains and towering buildings.

Li Muxuan gripped the railing, gazing intently.

He left the land that nurtured him in his youth and spent many more years on Nathan Island than on his homeland, where he married, had children, and settled down.

I thought I would never be able to return in this lifetime, and my memories of my homeland became very blurry.

At this moment, as this scene comes into view, I suddenly realize that everything is vivid in my mind.

Even though this land was completely different from when he left, it felt like he had seen it countless times in his dreams, as if it were just yesterday.

"Left Sect Master, Sect Leader, everyone from Quanxing... I..."

My nose started to sting, and tears streamed down my face.

Zhang Chulan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, overheard his murmur, and secretly grumbled to himself.

He looks like a frail, pitiful old man now.

If it weren't for Brother Dan's violent suppression and the unforeseen circumstances, this old man probably wouldn't have returned to Xia Country.

Li Muxuan wiped away his tears: "Master Huaidan, is Lu Jin waiting for me at the port?"

Zhang Huaidan neither confirmed nor denied it.

Li Muxuan pleaded, "I have made quite a few enemies back then. I would like to hold a gathering to collect merits. I wonder if the Master would allow it?"

Zhang Huaidan glanced at him, and a very familiar look of realization appeared on Li Muxuan's face. He seemed to have really made up his mind to make peace with his past self and his past enemies.

"I brought you back because of Uncle Lu. Once we get to Xia Kingdom, your requests will depend on Uncle Lu's wishes."

……

The long ladder was lowered, the hatch opened, and Lu Jin, who had been calm all along, stared intently at the open door like a vicious eagle.

Lu Lin and Lu Linglong exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat worried.

Since his initial loss of control, the old man had remained very calm on the way here.

However, both of them could sense that the storm brewing within him was constantly rising.

A figure appeared in his sight, and Lu Jin's gaze softened slightly.

It is Huai Dan.

However, it didn't last long.

The figures behind Zhang Huaidan became visible.

"Li Muxuan!"

A suppressed growl came from his throat, and the staff on the fishing boat felt a chill run down their spines.

A ferocious, almost malevolent aura emanated from Lu Jin's expression, causing Lu Linglong and Lu Lin behind him to take several steps back, their faces turning slightly pale.

I thought Lu Jin's aura was already incredibly terrifying when he was in the Lu family, but compared to now, it's nothing.

Lu Linglong's eyes brightened, and she called out softly, "Grandpa, the person won't run away."

Lu Jin gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, his blunt nails digging into his palms. He showed no reaction, struggling to suppress his aura and the seemingly endless hatred burning within him.

The moment Zhang Huaidan stepped down the long ladder and onto the land of Xia Kingdom, the heart of the divine tree in his arms trembled slightly.

He was slightly startled, but remained calm, nodded to Lu Linglong with bright eyes, and stepped aside.

Li Muxuan spoke in a hoarse voice: "Lu Jin, it's been a long time."

Hearing that voice, the voice that has tormented my heart for decades, seeing that face, that face I've wanted to tear apart for tens of thousands of days and nights.

Lu Jin could no longer bear it: "Why! Why! Don't! Go! Die!"

The true qi within the body surged like a great river, producing a faint, almost imperceptible sound of waves!
Lu Lin and Lu Linglong uncontrollably took several steps back, and Zhang Chulan, who followed them down the long ladder, also shivered.

At this moment, what he saw was not Lu Jin, but a lion, a lion so enraged that it was about to devour its prey.

Li Muxuan said expressionlessly, "It's a pity I've disappointed you."

The surge of true qi, which had almost transformed into instinctive hatred, overwhelmed Lu Jin's will!

He circulated his true qi through the twelfth level, his entire body turning white. He roared, his voice shaking the surrounding area: "Die!!"

It happened so fast, like a fleeting moment, that it was unbelievable.

It felt like Mount Tai was pressing down on us, and even the air seemed to be torn apart.

All of this happened too fast. Li Muxuan closed his eyes, and in that instant, many faces flashed through his mind, only to vanish one by one. A relieved smile appeared on his face.

Having agreed to come to Xia Kingdom, he was already prepared to die, but he never expected that Lu Jin hated him to such an extent that she was eager to grind him to dust.

Oh well, it's a bit fast, but it doesn't really matter.

But then I heard a gasp of surprise.

"Brother Huaidan!"

"Huai Dan!"

"Brother Dan!"

A strong gust of wind hit my face, blowing off a few strands of my hair. I heard a voice say, "Uncle Lu, calm down."

Li Muxuan opened his eyes. Zhang Huaidan was radiating a faint golden light, blocking Lu Jin's punch that could have blasted a person into dust.

Zhang Chulan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Lu Jin's punch just now felt like it could shatter a mountain. His legs were still shaking. Fortunately, Brother Dan blocked it.

Lu Lin and Lu Linglong were also relieved.

Lu Linglong slowly lowered her hand that was covering her mouth. If her great-grandfather had hurt even a hair on Huai Dan's head, he would never forgive him in this lifetime!
As Lu Lin felt a great weight lifted from her heart, her gaze trembled violently again as she stared intently at the point where the two men's fists and palms clashed.

The old man's entire body turned white, and he looked like a madman.

Huai Dan shone with golden light, as if a god had descended to earth.

Although the golden garment had cracks, it was not torn.

Lu Lin gasped as if she had just remembered something!
Lu Jin regained some composure: "Huai Dan, you...you're going to stop me!" Zhang Huai Dan said softly, "I told you, Uncle Lu, calm down!"

Although the voice was soft, it resonated like thunder. Lu Jin's hatred and killing intent dissipated by most of it, and he became much more sober. He paused for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Lu, I got too excited. I couldn't help myself when I saw this face."

Zhang Huaidan said softly, "I understand."

Lu Jin took a deep breath, lowered his fist, and looked at the cracked golden light, feeling a sense of disorientation once again.

Just now, he was filled with rage and demonic energy, and he mobilized all his century-old cultivation, giving it his all.

The power of a single punch is such that it can destroy anything and even shatter a person!
So Huai Dan just accepted it like that?

He didn't even manage to shatter Huai Dan's golden light.
Lu Jin became increasingly dazed. For a moment, the hatred in her heart seemed like a rootless duckweed, drifting pitifully.

In fact, he had known all along that with Zhang Huaidan's talent, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed him, and it was also only a matter of time before he surpassed Zhang Zhiwei.

But I never imagined he would walk so fast and so far.

Lu Jin was filled with mixed emotions, and he didn't even care about Li Muxuan: "You brat..."

Zhang Huaidan smiled, and the golden light on his hand, which was covered in cracks, burst open inch by inch: "Uncle Lu hit me way too hard, he almost made my hand swell up."

Looking at the shattered golden light, Lu Jin breathed a slight sigh of relief; it had finally been broken.

It also felt utterly absurd that as one of the Ten Elders and a top-tier extraordinary individual, he would one day feel comforted by the shattering of someone's protective magic.

"little monster."

Staring at Li Muxuan: "You still have the nerve to come back!"

Although Zhang Huaidan's unintentional outburst had not completely extinguished his hatred and murderous intent, he was now able to control them.

Li Muxuan looked completely numb.

Lu Jin sneered repeatedly, still waiting to launch a full-scale insult.

Zhang Huaidan gave a wink. He wasn't worried about Li Muxuan being humiliated, but rather that Lu Jin might become consumed by hatred and murderous intent and do something irrational. Zhang Chulan understood and quickly jumped in, "Master Lu, calm down, calm down."

She grabbed Lu Jin's arm and pulled him aside, whispering, "He started a family on Nathan Island, but before Dan brought him back, his daughter and granddaughter all died."

Lu Jin's eyes widened, and he wished he could drink three cups of wine and laugh loudly: "Good riddance! Good riddance! This is retribution! Retribution!"

Li Muxuan trembled all over, utterly distraught, muttering to himself, "Retribution...retribution..."

Laughter echoed in all directions. Lu Lin was stunned. Her grandfather was actually this kind of person?

What crime did Li Muxuan's daughter and granddaughter commit that they would feel so pleased by their deaths? This is simply the behavior of a despicable person!
On second thought, I felt relieved.

This hatred runs too deep.

Countless members of the entire Sanyi Sect died because of Li Muxuan.

Such a deep-seated blood feud cannot be considered true revenge unless the entire enemy family is exterminated!
Lu Jin, beaming with joy, made no attempt to hide his elation: "That's right, Li Muxuan, this is your retribution, hahaha!"

As she laughed, tears streamed down her face.

In fact, their fates were remarkably similar. He was the only disciple left in the Sanyi Sect, and Li Muxuan was left all alone.

But he felt no pity or sympathy; he was only shedding tears for his mentor and fellow disciples.

Zhang Chulan comforted him, "Senior Lu, so you see, he's overjoyed that he killed him. To be honest, if it weren't for Brother Dan, he would have committed suicide long ago."

Lu Jin sneered and said sharply, "Li Muxuan, killing you like this is too easy for you! I will gather all those who suffered because of you back then, and settle all scores, avenging the blood feud of the Sanyi Sect under the witness of everyone!"

……

Back then, Li Muxuan was lawless, and he had more than one or two enemies still alive, so it would take time for them to arrive.

At Zhang Huaidan's suggestion, Lu Jin agreed to temporarily detain Li Muxuan in Nadutong.

Lu Jin was deeply moved: "Huai Dan, I won't say more. Uncle Lu is very happy. I haven't been this happy in all these decades."

Lu Jin's voice was slightly choked up, and Zhang Huaidan said softly, "It's just what I can do."

Lu Jin composed herself and glanced at Lu Linglong, who was smiling with bright eyes: "You and Linglong..."

Lu Linglong glared at him, and Lu Jin chuckled and said, "It was my fault for being nosy."

Lu Jin patted Zhang Huaidan on the shoulder and walked towards the other side of the road. He would not let Li Muxuan leave his sight until all of Li Muxuan's enemies from back then had arrived!
Seeing this, Zhang Huaidan felt somewhat helpless. Looking at Lu Jin's back, she said softly, "Uncle Lu, it's only right to take revenge, but revenge isn't everything in life. Think more about what will happen after you've taken your revenge."

Lu Jin paused. If someone had said such a thing to him before, even if it was Huai Dan, he wouldn't have cared, and might even have been annoyed.

Is the statement that revenge isn't everything in life an attempt to persuade him to let go?
How can this hatred be resolved if it is not addressed?
I'm afraid they'll all die with their eyes open!

However, now that Huai Dan has brought back the source of the trouble, it is clear that Li Muxuan can no longer escape the Xia Kingdom.

In the end, revenge is nothing more than killing Li Muxuan.

What about after that?

Thinking of this, Lu Jin was somewhat bewildered. Even if Li Muxuan were reduced to ashes, would he be able to let go of the hatred in his heart?
The word "revenge" sustained him for decades. He never thought of giving up and was prepared to pursue it until death, even if he died with his eyes open in disbelief.

Now that his enemy was right in front of him, he felt both happy and empty, wanting to sing and dance.

'And there's also Wugensheng!'

Lu Jin gritted her teeth!

Strictly speaking, although Wugensheng killed the most people in the Sanyi Sect, the root cause lies with Li Muxuan.

Recalling those scenes from years ago, Lu Jin's breathing became heavy, and he took a deep breath.

Regardless, there's still Wugensheng!

……

Zhang Huaidan frowned, unsure if Uncle Lu had taken his words to heart. He shook his head, not expecting his words to make Uncle Lu see things alike.

If everyone were so easily changed, the world would have long been filled with truth, goodness, and beauty.

Where would there be so much discord and ugliness?

"Let's go too."

Zhang Chulan clicked his tongue: "Brother Dan, now that this mission is complete, I want to go back to the mountain with you to visit Master."

Zhang Huaidan smiled: "It's kind of you to remember."

Zhang Chulan said awkwardly, "I've always remembered, okay? I've just been too busy."

As the group walked out of the port, Lu Lin glanced at them and asked, "Huai Dan, what happened just now? What did you do?"

Lu Linglong finally found an excuse and unceremoniously pushed Zhang Chulan aside: "Brother Huaidan, are you alright? Grandfather loses his mind as soon as he sees his enemy. Sigh, he really is something else."

Zhang Chulan grimaced, recalling the scene from earlier: "As expected of Master Lu, the top figure in the world of supernatural beings. If it were someone with my skinny arms and legs, I would have already called someone to collect my corpse."

Zhang Huaidan smiled slightly: "It's nothing."

Lu Linglong grabbed his hand, still somewhat doubtful. That was a blow delivered with the fury of her great-grandfather: "Are you really alright?"

Zhang Huaidan chuckled: "Would you like to touch it?"

Lu Linglong's pretty face flushed.

Zhang Chulan wisely remained silent.

Lu Lin looked at Zhang Huaidan, who had a faint smile on her face, and felt a mix of emotions. (End of Chapter)
