Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

indeed.

Behemoth's goal was to invade Nathan Island for the sake of the Tree of God.

Zhou Fengliu has now destroyed the divine tree. In terms of the final damage to Nathan Island, Zhou Fengliu and Behemoth are the same, causing Nathan Island to lose the divine tree.

but...

She wouldn't blame Zhou Fengliu, because it was her own choice, made actively in accordance with the divine tree's hints. It was the divine tree's choice, not Nathan Island's passive acceptance of the invasion.

Between Behemoth and the sacred tree, she believed in the tree's hints and its choices.

Zhou Fengliu...

That's the one who saved us.

The fact that the sacred tree offered no resistance just now is the best proof of this.

She slowly answered Alfonso:

"This is the divine tree's arrangement of our destiny. He is the one who will save us, and he will also lead Nathan out of his predicament."

"He is Nathan's King of Cinder."

"..."

Listening to King Nathan's seemingly brainwashed speech, Alfonso calmed down. No one would question the Divine Tree, especially as a member of Nathan's Guard.

...

The other side of the island.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao continued to approach Li Muxuan's hiding place under the cover of night.

After learning the name Li Muxuan, Zhang Chulan asked Xu Si to investigate Li Muxuan's background over the phone. After some investigation, Xu Si told them about Li Muxuan's background.

Only then did everyone realize that Li Muxuan, the evil child of Quanxing, was closely related to the disappearance of the Sanyi Sect.

Not only that, Li Muxuan himself was also present when Wugensheng caused a great disturbance at the Sanyi Sect.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Lin and Lu Linglong immediately set off to find Li Muxuan.

Although Zhang Chulan also wanted to know about that past event, he didn't bring it up first.

He waited until the Lu siblings finished speaking before using the pretense of doing them a favor to help them find Li Muxuan, revealing Zhang Chulan's cunning.

"That... must be Li Muxuan, right?" Zhang Chulan said, looking at Li Muxuan who was sleeping on the grass under the moonlight.

"Yes... Let's go take a look."

"Ah."

The group cautiously approached Li Muxuan, who was taking a nap. Naturally, Li Muxuan noticed their presence and spoke when they were less than five meters away from him.

"What do you little brats want from me?"

"Is it Li Muxuan, Senior Li?" Lu Lin asked.

"Hmm." Li Muxuan responded, then opened his eyes, glanced at the junior in front of him, and said:

"Look at you little rascals, you look unfamiliar."

"Junior Lu Lin."

"Junior Lu Linglong."

Lu Linglong said this to Lu Lin.

"?"

Upon hearing the names Lu Lin and Lu Linglong, Li Muxuan, who had already been frightened by Zhou Fengliu's use of the name Lu Jin, immediately frowned.

Your surname is Lu?

Could it be that they're in cahoots with that person, coming to arrest me?

"Who are your elders in your families, you two little ones?" Li Muxuan asked, though he had some doubts.

"Grandpa Lu Jin."

"..."

Upon hearing that these two young people were indeed descendants of Lu Jin, Li Muxuan felt that this was truly never going to end.

He had been hiding from Zhou Fengliu for half a day, and just when he finally managed to get some sleep, he was found by Lu Jin's descendants.

That old bastard... he's like a persistent ghost.

"Are you guys ever going to stop...? Does that old man really want to see me that badly?"

Li Muxuan was also a little tired at this moment. He knew that the island was only so big and he couldn't hide for too long.

So he hid for a while, and finally chose to come back to sleep.

"If he really wants to see me, then let him come. What's the point of sending thugs? What? Getting old and timid?"

Hearing Li Muxuan's words, Lu Lin shook her head:

“We are not thugs. We came to you because we want to know about the Trinity Gate incident back then.”

"Trinity Gate?"

Upon hearing these three words, Li Muxuan frowned. Judging from his expression, he seemed reluctant to discuss anything related to the Sanyi Sect. He then waved his hand.

"Go back and ask that old man; he knows more than I do."

“We’d like to, but it’s a deep concern for Grandpa, and he’s never mentioned it to anyone,” Lu Lin replied.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan remained silent for two seconds before saying:

"Heh, you're badly injured. No wonder you only sent thugs to check on me after receiving news of me..."

Chapter 399 Zhang Chulan: Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! You can't kill him like this!

“Senior Li, we won’t make things difficult for you. Please come back with us to treat Grandpa’s injuries.”

Lu Lin looked at Li Muxuan and began to speak.

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan snorted coldly: "You call this not making things difficult for me?"

“You don’t understand. If I go back with you… only one of us, that old man or I, will survive.”

"The children of the Lu family are so filial."

Li Muxuan said that Lu Lin and Lu Linglong, these two filial sons and daughters, really amused him.

"I've thought about it. If my great-grandfather could beat you to death and calm down, that would be the best outcome."

"If Grandfather can't beat you... then the entire Lu family will come at you together."

"?"

Hearing Lu Linglong's words, Li Muxuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Look at what this girl is saying...

Isn't this bullying honest people?

If you can't beat them, then forget about martial ethics and attack together!? Isn't Lu Jin supposed to be upright and honorable?

How come their descendants all look like bandits?

Why should I go back with you?

Li Muxuan's hands were itching at this moment.

He figured he couldn't beat the thugs Lu Jin sent, so he might as well bully Lu Jin's descendants to vent his anger.

According to his observation... Lu Lin and Lu Linglong, these two juniors, do not seem to be as strong as the previous thug.

"Explain with reason and appeal to emotions," Lu Linglong said slowly.

"If you don't listen, then we actually know a little bit about martial arts."

Upon hearing Lu Linglong's words, Li Muxuan, who had been wanting to bully the younger woman, grabbed Lu Linglong's neck without hesitation. The powerful force seemed to be able to snap Lu Linglong's neck with just a little effort.

"Know a little about martial arts? Come on... let me see how little you know about martial arts."

Li Muxuan displayed the demeanor of a senior at this moment.

He can't beat Lu Jin's henchmen, he might not be able to beat Lu Jin himself... and he can't even control Lu Jin's descendants?

He easily manipulated the young descendant of Lu Jin.

...

Seeing Li Muxuan make a move, Lu Lin also showed no mercy, and immediately activated the Reverse Life Triple Technique.

Faced with Lu Lin's triple rebirth, Li Muxuan frowned slightly.

Sanyi Gate...

These three words flashed through his mind, and it was this brief pause that gave Lu Linglong her opportunity.

Lu Linglong kicked Li Muxuan in the chest, using the momentum to break free of her restraints and create distance.
