Exploding God

Chapter 1152 Now that we have seen the real person, why not pay homage!

Despite being family elders, Tantai Zhongyi's tone was incredibly domineering!

That phrase, "Come out and see me," completely disregarded Song Tianhua, the first elder of the Song family.

However, everyone around him tacitly accepted his domineering behavior, and no one felt that it was inappropriate.

Everyone present felt their hair stand on end at that moment, and even subconsciously held their breath, their eyes fixed on the shockwave sweeping towards the "fence" wall.

How will Song Tianhua react?

What can he do?

……

Inside the wooden wall.

Lu Ze's eyes remained calm and still, while Song Tianhua's eyes flashed with anger after hearing the impolite "summoning." However, when he saw the raging wave of energy sweeping towards him, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"This is outrageous!"

Upon hearing his words, a worshipper holding a wooden imperial plate immediately plunged his five fingers into it.

In an instant, a hazy blue light rippled from the wooden disc, spreading along the ground beneath their feet to the seemingly ordinary fences and walls. The surrounding air currents distorted for a moment, as if some kind of force field had been activated.

At that very moment, the shockwave from the Grand Elder's shout finally struck the fence.

wow——

It was as if a huge wave was crashing against a reef, but the reef remained motionless, and the waves turned into sprays that scattered across the sky.

Now everyone witnessed the airflow blowing weeds and pebbles from the ground along the fence into the sky and then slowly dissipating.

The fence was surprisingly sturdy.

At that moment, two people, one inside and one outside the fence, simultaneously raised their eyebrows.

In the former case, Tantai Zhongyi naturally did not expect Song Tianhua to refrain from taking action, and the strength of the fence was somewhat unexpected.

Lu Ze was slightly surprised by the latter, purely because of the strength of the "fence".

Heaven can bear witness that, whether it was what he said or his true thoughts, when he told Song Tianhua to build these outer walls, it was really just a formality... The Song family did indeed build an extremely long fence, but now it seems that the Song family's infrastructure capabilities were too strong, and they managed to turn this shoddy project into a benchmark.

"Don't do that again next time."

Lu Ze turned his head and said something gently, which left Song Tianhua speechless.

【What do you not want?】

Elder Song, who had already prepared himself to go out and confront them, suddenly fell into deep thought.

"The people of Xia Kingdom value reciprocity the most. What do you think, Elder Song?" Lu Ze asked softly, looking at Song Tianhua, whose eyes were slightly blank.

Song Tianhua nodded subconsciously, and then he saw Lu Ze give him an encouraging smile, "Go and meet them, otherwise some people will never be able to tell the difference between host and guest."

Lu Ze raised his eyelids, his clear gaze fixed straight ahead, his composed demeanor captivating.

Song Tianhua's heart skipped a few beats, which made him sigh. He was already forty years old, yet he was still so impatient. But then he thought about it again and suddenly felt a little excited!

You must know that the man beside you is Mr. Lu, who killed Changsun Xuanying with a single sword and mended the sky with one hand!

How could such a vicious person be a kind-hearted person?

Mr. Lu's reciprocity...

"That sounds so exciting!" Song Tianhua had only taken two steps when goosebumps rose on his back and arms. He rubbed his hands together, and as he strode forward, a smile spread across his face as he shouted:

"What a rare guest! The Grand Elder's personal visit truly honors my humble abode."

They're all from prestigious families; how could they possibly lose their basic skills in changing faces?

The voice sounded extremely enthusiastic, but the people outside the fence tensed up upon hearing it.

When did someone like Song Tianhua, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, start saying such glib and slick things?

You call such a big town a humble abode?

Then how did this land, which is clearly in the middle of nowhere, really become your Song family's territory?

Some people sensed that the atmosphere was not good and quietly turned their gazes to the side.

Tantai Zhongyi's expression remained unchanged, seemingly unperturbed, but a chill emanated from the depths of his eyes, an aura that made people keep their distance.

It's going to get exciting.

The same thought crossed everyone's minds at the same time, and then they finally saw Song Tianhua's figure... no, there were two of them!

Why did Song Tianhua deliberately lag behind another person by half a body length?

Who is that person?! How dare he be half a step ahead of Song Tianhua?

The discrepancy between what they saw and what they knew created a strong sense of disconnect, especially when they saw the person's face display a calmness that seemed out of place for their age; everyone instinctively felt uneasy.

This kind of tranquility... should only exist in the Grand Elder.

Countless surprised and scrutinizing gazes were cast upon him, but Lu Ze calmly looked back, even with a smile on his lips.

"Elder, fellow colleagues." As the two stepped out of the fence, Song Tianhua clasped his hands in greeting. "Tianhua really didn't expect so many people to come. There's construction going on inside right now, and there's nowhere to sit for the time being. Please forgive us for our poor hospitality."

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Seeing Song Tianhua's politeness, many people in the group clasped their hands in response, as if to say hello.

Tantai Zhongyi did not speak, so Song Tianhua finally turned his gaze to him and asked with a smile, "I wonder what business the Grand Elder has with Tianhua? My Song family will certainly do everything in our power to help."

Tantai Zhongyi's eyes finally moved, and he looked at Song Tianhua. His lips curled up slightly before settling back down. He raised his palm and pointed forward.

"Okay, I want this land."

The fingertip pointed directly at the massive construction site behind Song Tianhua, a scene of bustling activity.

This statement immediately caused an uproar in the room!

The Tantai family was alright, after all, their elder had long held considerable prestige. However, the Changsun family, the Gu family, and the remaining small group of Zhao family members were genuinely shocked.

This is a base built by the entire Song family with all their resources, how could we possibly give it away!

Is the Tantai family looking for an excuse to start a war with the Song family?

The three families exchanged unpleasant glances. The First Elder had dragged them over here, but hadn't consulted them before saying these things. What did he take them for?

Just as the crowd behind him was whispering, the Grand Elder flicked his finger, pointed at Lu Ze, and said indifferently:

"Also, I need this person. Elder Song, please do your utmost to help me with this."

The word "please" was pronounced with a heavy emphasis, and its placement in the sentence had a completely opposite effect to its meaning.

I'll never rest until I say something shocking!

The Changsun, Gu, and Zhao families were dumbfounded.

The Grand Elder is serious!

After Tantai Zhongyi finished speaking, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes. He had already given Song Tianhua enough face by not making a move immediately upon meeting him.

Song Tianhua's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

So many people came over without warning, their manner aggressive and accusatory. Before he, the head of the Song family, could say anything, the eldest elder, who had just landed, was quite blunt, demanding the land that the Song family had acquired!

What's even more outrageous is that they specifically asked for Mr. Lu!

This is not just being rude, it's trampling the Song family's dignity into the ground.

If he makes a bad impression today, the entire Song family will lose face right here!

Thinking of this, Song Tianhua's smile vanished completely. He looked at the tall and imposing Tantai Zhongyi and said, "Elder, you've gone too far."

Passed?

Tantai Zhongyi chuckled, lowered his eyelids, and carefully examined his left hand before speaking indifferently: "Do you think I'm discussing this with you, Song Tianhua? I'm preoccupied with important matters and don't have much time to waste on you."

"I will get both of these things done today. The only difference is whether you cooperate or I help you. Considering our acquaintance, the matter of the Song family moving land will be put aside for now. I need to deal with the second matter first... You, come here."

Tantai Zhongyi pointed a finger at Lu Ze from a distance, then hooked his hand behind his back.

"First, accept this slap from me, then explain everything in detail, and I'll spare you some suffering. Mr. Lu, you know what I mean!"

This was the second time Tantai Zhongyi had singled out that young man, but this time the murderous intent and malice in his words were truly chilling.

Everyone was shocked. Tantai Zhongyi had actually put the second matter before the Song family base: who exactly was this "Mr. Lu"?

The unspoken meaning behind the elder's words is even more chilling upon closer examination.

What should I explain?

In the end, are they going to kill that "Mr. Lu"?

What deep-seated hatred could there be between the two sides that would warrant such a large-scale mobilization?

……

"Mr. Lu—" Song Tianhua lowered his head in fear.

Lu Ze chuckled and patted Song Tianhua on the shoulder, saying, "You've narrowed your perspective."

Then, amidst Song Tianhua's dazed gaze and the hundreds of astonished stares from the other party, he calmly raised his head and chuckled softly.

Ok?

What does that soft laugh mean?

When the next cold sentence came from Lu Ze's mouth, everyone's heads buzzed at the same time, and they felt a chill rush to the top of their heads.
