Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1329 - 1328: Unfathomable Depths

Lu Youqiong had just unleashed immense killing intent, but had to retract it.

Because…

He realized that he couldn't discern the cultivation level of the red-clad woman in front of him.

It was too profound.

The Primordial Qi emanating from her body was terrifying.

Lu Youqiong had seen it only on cultivators at the peak of the Primordial Human Immortal Realm...

The problem is—

In the entire Wanxian World, those at the Primordial Immortal Realm were few and far between.

Some at the peak of the Primordial Human Immortal Realm had long stopped concerning themselves with trivial matters, seeking breakthroughs and stabilizing their Heart Realms, rather than having the time to come here.

Throughout the entire Wanxian World, experts at the Primordial Human Immortal Realm were all quite old. In contrast, the woman before him looked like a beautiful girl in her twenties.

But the aura emanating from her did not lie.

It was easy for an expert to pretend to be a novice, but for a novice to pose as an expert, one must have the skill.

Lu Youqiong had to restrain his own aura and cupped his hands, saying:

"May I know how to address this senior?"

Senior?

The crowd was surprised.

They seemed to realize the power of this red-clad woman.

The woman in red was none other than Xu Zhaopei.

Xu Zhaopei, with a calm expression and a hint of amusement, said, "What does my name have to do with you?"

"Since the senior says it doesn't matter. Then please, senior, just watch. Today, I must kill this boy to avenge my grandson!" Lu Youqiong said.

"How thick-skinned you are. You say it's a martial duel where swords have no eyes, allowing him to kill but not others. What kind of twisted logic is this?"

Xu Zhaopei's words made Lu Youqiong's expression uncertain.

If someone else had said this, Lu Youqiong wouldn't have cared and would have dismissed it with a laugh.

But a great being at the Primordial Human Immortal Realm, he had to take seriously.

This determined the direction of the entire situation!

"Senior. Are you going to interfere in the matter between the Lu Family and this boy?"

"And if so?" Xu Zhaopei said.

"You—"

Lu Youqiong glared, saying, "I respect you as a great cultivator, but that doesn't mean the Lu Family is to be trifled with. I, an elder, also stand at the Primordial Human Immortal Realm; if a real fight breaks out, you might not be my match."

Upon saying this.

Xu Zhaopei laughed lightly and said, "Feel free to try."

She had already decided that if this old man insisted on stepping forward, she would use the effects of the Ordinary Blood to eliminate him quickly, preventing future troubles.

But that would also bring significant problems.

That is, the entire Wanxian City would immediately erupt into chaos because of the death of Old Master Lu.

This would affect Fang Yu's plans.

So... the best solution was to let Lu Youqiong retreat on his own.

Lu Youqiong's gaze was as sharp as a hawk, staring intently at the red-clad woman in the arena.

"Do you really want to be my enemy?"

Xu Zhaopei was getting annoyed and didn't want to waste more words with this old man but began to step forward.

Step by step, she approached.

As she got closer.

Lu Youqiong suddenly felt an oppressive force. That pressure made his Primordial Qi retract, unable to manifest!

Fearful, panicked!

Lu Youqiong glared, saying in a deep voice, "Fine, have it your way! Today's enmity will certainly be avenged! Let's go!"

Amidst swishes.

Many people from the crowd came forward to carry Lu Ming away.

Suddenly!

The whole scene erupted in cheers!

Fang Yu's victory brought them more joy than winning it themselves.

"He won!"

"That old Lu is surely furious this time!"

"Hahaha... I've never seen that old man so angry before! It's so satisfying!"

"That old geezer bullied people too much, and that grandson Lu Ming also bullied the common folks. Truly despicable. This brother has really vented our anger!"

The crowd nodded.

One after another, they stepped forward to congratulate Fang Yu.

Fang Yu remained calm, thanking them one by one.

The cultivator whose brother had died also stepped forward to cup his hands but said nothing and then left.

Fang Yu understood his feelings; though he hadn't killed Lu Ming earlier, it wasn't really avenging his brother.

But it counted as a helping hand.

This silent gesture was a half-hearted thank you.

...

Meanwhile.

On the platform, Hong Zhaoyue and Shang Hongxin were extremely happy.

The steward beside them loudly asked, "Does anyone else want to challenge?"

With this question, all the cultivators present shook their heads.

At this point, who would dare step forward? Even if they somehow beat Fang Yu, that would mean indirectly offending the Lu Family.

Who would dare to offend the Lu Family?

With the steward's question.

Naturally, no one dared to respond.

The steward continued, "Since no one is responding, I will announce the result."

He looked around the venue and then said:

"Princess Zhaoyue's martial duel for marriage, the final victor…"

The steward suddenly realized he didn't know this young man's name.

Beside him, Hong Zhaoyue promptly whispered, "Fang Yu."

"The final victor of the martial duel for marriage, Fang Yu!"

The crowd erupted into enthusiastic applause.

"Brother Yu put on quite the show again!"

"Indeed, but I wonder if his wife will be unhappy!"

"Right! That's one more woman."

"Another?"

At that moment.

The steward on stage loudly said, "Mr. Fang, please!"

Fang Yu, with his people, followed the steward back to East City, to the Hong Residence.

...

On the other side.

Returning to the Lu Family, Lu Ming and Old Master Lu were full of resentment.

Lu Ming lay pale on the bed, continually coughing.

"Grandfather... that boy is named Fang Yu... he... he was the doctor who cured Hong Zhaoyue that day! The Hong Family is clearly setting us up! Cough, cough, cough..."

Lu Ming coughed violently.

Lu Youqiong shook his head, saying, "Alas... what you said, how could I not know? Today, with a powerful figure present, I couldn't act. Someday, I'll find an opportunity and definitely kill that boy to avenge you!"

"Grandfather... is that woman in red really that powerful?" Lu Ming still looked unconvinced.

Lu Youqiong recalled the confrontation with the red-clad woman, still feeling somewhat apprehensive.

"That person's strength is extraordinary. I couldn't see through her prowess, which means her cultivation is not lower than mine... If it really came to a fight, I might not have the upper hand! When she walked towards me, I even sensed a hint of danger! Therefore... I chose to withdraw first and brought you back. A gentleman's revenge takes ten years! Now the entire Wanxian City is basically under the control of the Lu Family, with only East City hard to defend alone... Sooner or later, I will kill him!"

Hearing this.

Lu Ming was full of unwillingness, his eyes bloodshot, still shocked by the red-clad woman's cultivation.

"Grandfather! What about my Qi Sea? My Artifact Spirit is destroyed... I want to kill them with my own hands! I hate them!"

Lu Youqiong knew how much his grandson was suffering at the moment.

The destruction of the Artifact Spirit meant the Qi Sea would be damaged too; in the future, strength and cultivation could no longer improve. Without the Artifact Spirit, even recovering from injuries would take a long time.

"Don't panic!"

Lu Youqiong's eyes glinted as he said, "You are the most talented cultivator our Lu Family has seen in hundreds of thousands of years. Do you know why I never let you enter the forbidden area of the Lu Family's backyard?"
