Chapter 100: Major Event, Wei Family Crisis, Showing Some Kindness
"I didn't expect that a small piece of silver could contain so much information," Lu Qing said with a gleam in his eyes, muttering to himself.
Just now, he had finally deciphered all the patterns on this piece of broken silver and grasped the connection between them and the Gold Runes in the inheritance summary of the Divine Talisman Sect.
Of course, this didn't mean he had already mastered the Rune Path, it was merely a hint of insight, and he was still a long way from that stage. Find adventures on empire
But as they say, every journey begins with a single step.
Any insight, the breakthrough from zero to one, is the hardest.
Now that he'd taken the hardest step, with this hint of insight, studying the textures of other objects would be much easier.
He believed the day he truly entered the Rune Path wasn't far off.
Tucking the silver back into his chest, Lu Qing was in a great mood.
Today was truly a good day, not only had he reached Qi Blood Perfection in his Martial Arts cultivation, but he had also made breakthrough progress in his rune studies.
After packing up his things, he walked out of the bamboo grove and headed home.
As he just reached the village, he saw someone waiting at the gate of his yard, constantly looking out.
"Brother Tian?"
Lu Qing recognized the person and called out in surprise.
"Young Master Lu, you've finally returned!"
Xiao Tian saw Lu Qing and showed a joyful expression.
"Why are you standing outside, my rare guest? Why not come in and sit?" Lu Qing asked.
"I knocked on the door, Young Master, but there was no one at home," Xiao Tian said somewhat embarrassedly.
Lu Qing then remembered that Little Yan and Little Li had gone out to visit their master.
"I apologize for the poor reception, come in and sit," Lu Qing opened the bamboo gate.
"No need, Young Master Lu, I've come here on urgent business," Xiao Tian declined.
"Oh? What business?"
Lu Qing recalled the anxious expression he had seen earlier.
"I'm not quite sure of the specifics, but here is a letter Ma Gu asked me to deliver to you, Young Master. You'll know once you read it."
Xiao Tian pulled a sealed letter from his chest.
Lu Qing took the letter, opened it, and quickly read through the contents.
The more he read, the more solemn his expression became.
The letter was indeed from Ma Gu, whose handwriting Lu Qing recognized.
It primarily mentioned just one thing.
That was, that the Wei Family had encountered trouble.
The cause was that, a few days ago, a group of mysterious individuals had arrived outside the Wei Mansion in the county, loudly chastising the family.
This scene had immediately alarmed the various powers in the city.
The Wei Family's position in the county had always been eminent.
Even the County Lord had to show deference and dared not provoke them.
Now, someone dared to openly challenge the Wei Family, shocking the local powers.
Had these people eaten the hearts of bears and leopards, to be so reckless?
Just when the local forces thought this group of mystery people were going to meet their doom,
the Silver Moon Guards from Wei Mansion indeed made their move.
A whole squad of Silver Moon Guards swept toward the mysterious group.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the mighty Silver Moon Guards, as seen by them, failed to capture the group.
Instead, they were beaten back step by step, and it was only when the Grand Steward of the Wei Family personally intervened that the situation was stabilized and the mysterious group was held back.
But even though they were held back, the arrogant demeanor of the mysterious people was undiminished.
They claimed that since the Wei Family's Innate Ancestor had died, they should no longer hoard that precious artifact, and that it would be wise to hand it over soon.
Otherwise, clinging to the artifact might bring about the calamity of their clan's extermination.
After dropping the harsh words, the mysterious group temporarily retreated.
But the words they'd spoken had shaken the entire city.
Firstly, the local powers were only then informed that the Wei Family had had an ancestor in the Innate Realm all along.
What shocked them even more was that this ancestor seemed to have died.
These mysterious individuals appeared to be after some treasure of the Wei Mansion, not only were they individually powerful, but they also showed no fear of the Wei Family.
This was simply unbelievable to the local forces.
However, everyone was unaware that this was just the beginning.
In the following days, new faces arrived in the city.
Every day, people lingered near the Wei Mansion, and in the middle of the night, the sounds of fighting could often be heard coming from there.
Then the next day, people saw bodies being cleaned out of the Wei Mansion.
But this still hadn't deterred those coveting the Wei Family's mysterious artifact, as new Martial Artists continued to gather in the city every day.
At the end of the letter, Ma Gu spoke very seriously to Lu Qing.
Now, with a large number of Martial Artists gathered in the county, the situation was turbulent.
The Wei Family still seemed to be keeping the situation under control for now, but no one knew how long they could hold on.
Under these circumstances, the Wei Family would undoubtedly not be able to concern themselves with minor matters like the Black Wolf Gang.
Moreover, according to his knowledge, the Black Wolf Gang had recently been backed by some powerful Martial Artist and had begun to act arrogantly again.
It was hard to say whether they would start probing into the Happy Village affair again.
So Ma Gu advised Lu Qing to avoid going out unnecessarily recently, to avoid running into anyone from the Black Wolf Gang and causing unnecessary trouble.
Lu Qing closed the letter, his expression turning grave.
The news from Ma Gu was indeed very important.
Seeing that the Wei Family had an ancestor in the Innate Realm was unexpected.
