C7179 The Dark Thearch Had Returned!
Ji Yunzhong observed his expression and quickly noticed the displeasure in Qu Song's eyes.
He hurriedly explained, "It's all thanks to the help of these two that our Ji Family was able to turn the tables around. Speaking of which, that girl is my elder brother's daughter. I thought that she had also died in the previous calamity, but I didn't expect that she would actually survive."
Ji Yunzhong couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Now, not only had their Ji Family survived this crisis, but he had also found his missing niece. It could be said that he had received double blessings.
More importantly, this missing niece not only had outstanding strength, but she also had a powerful Lu Yu by her side.
With such an expert guarding them, their Ji Family could now rest easy.
"There's actually such a thing?"
Qu Song was slightly surprised.
The fact that the Ji Family had been exterminated back then was not a secret in the entire Central Capital.
Many people knew that the Ji Family seemed to have some relationship with the Qin Emperor. Otherwise, the Qin Emperor would not have ordered people to spend so much effort to make this small family rise.
The Ji Family, which had encountered a calamity in the past, had long since become a small family with few experts.
This kind of family was almost endless in the Central Capital. If they did not have Lu Yu's support, the Ji Family would not have been able to rise to the top of the Central Capital.
Even the Ji Family's Family Head, Ji Yunzhong, had relied on the many heavenly treasures provided by Lu Yu to advance to this level.
"No, when did such a strong person like you appear in the Central Capital Star? That old demon was a core member of the Dark Emperor Cult, and his strength cannot be underestimated. How could you kill him so easily?"
Qu Song's eyes were filled with doubt.
"Oh, I was cultivating in the Central Capital Star a while ago, and now I have already gone to the Heaven Realm." Lu Yu said indifferently, "As for that old thing from the Dark Emperor Cult, his strength is not as good as mine, so he is naturally not my opponent."
"He's really bragging…"
Behind Qu Song, a young general muttered.
The surrounding Great Qin Generals naturally did not believe him. They had already fought with the Dark Emperor Cult for a long time, so they naturally knew how terrifying the experts of the Dark Emperor Cult were.
Qu Song also frowned. He obviously did not believe that Lu Yu could be a match for the black-robed old man.
"Maybe this person has some good magic treasures on him." Qu Song sized up Lu Yu from head to toe.
He could not see through Lu Yu's realm at all. No matter who it was, the first time they saw Lu Yu, they would think that he was just an ordinary scholar.
"Family Head Ji, since the Ji Family's crisis has been exposed, we won't stay here any longer. Let's return to report." Qu Song cupped his hands and said.
Ji Yunzhong hurriedly said politely, "Everyone has rushed here, so let's just stay here for a while. Please allow me to be the host."
"No need. The military situation is urgent, and we need to report immediately." Qu Song waved his hand and refused.
"Since there is such an important military intelligence, why didn't you ask for help from the Imperial Court?" Lu Yu suddenly asked.
Qu Song was about to leave, but he did not expect Lu Yu to suddenly ask. He opened his eyes and sized Lu Yu up.
However, Qu Song still explained patiently, "Although our capital is not strong, it is still the capital of Great Qin, and it has a large number of soldiers stationed there. If we need the help of the Imperial Court, then we have failed to fulfill our duties."
Lu Yu shook his head and sighed, "Lu Tiangang has underestimated his opponent. This is not some ordinary devil sect in the capital, but a powerful expert from the outer space. If he continues to delay, it will be a disaster sooner or later."
Hearing this, Qu Song frowned slightly.
Lu Tiangang was the capital's governor.1
He was a rank two official of the Imperial Court, and he held supreme authority. He was an unquestionable existence in the capital.
As long as one was in the capital, very few people would dare to call out Lu Tiangang's name directly.
"How dare you! How dare you call Lord Lu by his name?" A few young generals immediately scolded.
Qu Song stopped the reckless young generals and sized Lu Yu up. Suddenly, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you currently an official in the Imperial Court?"
To dare to call Lu Tiangang by his name, his background was naturally not small. It was even possible that he came from the core of Great Qin.
Although they had not asked for reinforcements, the central command of Great Qin had been monitoring the four directions. They had probably noticed the situation in Central Capital long ago, so it was reasonable for them to send a few experts over.
"That's right."
"So that's how it is." Qu Song cupped his hands and said, "Sir, this lowly one is indeed blind. I wonder what plans you have for Central Capital? Do you need me to report to the Governor?"
Lu Yu smiled faintly. Although Qu Song was a martial artist, he was quite meticulous. He was not like those young generals who were reckless.
He probably guessed that Lu Yu's identity was extraordinary, so he was cautious and did not dare to provoke him.
"There's no need. We are here to recognize each other," Lu Yu said lightly.
"Recognize each other?"
Qu Song was slightly stunned. He glanced at Shangguan Waner, who was beside Lu Yu.
This woman in front of him was gentle and elegant, and her beauty was enough to make people's eyes light up.
Even though Qu Song was a pure martial artist, he was slightly stunned when he saw Shangguan Waner.
However, what Qu Song was even more shocked about was Shangguan Waner's strength.
As the Prime Minister of Great Chu and the leader of the officials, she naturally had the attitude of a superior. Even when she was sitting in the Ji Family's family banquet, she had a suppressive aura.
More importantly, Shangguan Wan'er was also a Heavenly Realm expert.
Unlike Lu Yu, Shangguan Wan'er's strength and pressure were completely displayed, without the slightest bit of concealment.
When Qu Song detected Shangguan Wan'er's strength, he was immediately shocked. The strength of a Heavenly Realm was already considered to be an extraordinary existence in the Central Capital Star.
Just as Qu Song was about to speak, a long roar came from outside the Ji Family's residence.
The black fog covered the sky, and the dark thunder rumbled. An invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire Ji Family's residence.
"Who is it?"
Everyone present was alarmed. This aura came too suddenly, and it was extremely powerful, as if it could crush everyone in the Ji Family's residence at any time.
Rumble!
In an instant, the sky seemed to be dyed black. A black Qilin crawled out from the void, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, its aura shocking.
Behind the black Qilin was a carriage, and an old man sat on it. He was also wearing a black robe.
A thousand black-robed cultivators appeared beside the old man, looking like guards. They all emitted an ice-cold and powerful aura that made people shudder.
