Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 326 Old Stories, Lu Jin Who Can't Let Go

"So it was you, Lu Jin."

Li Muxuan stared blankly at the figure walking towards him, white robes, white hair, and swirling qi. In a daze, he seemed to have fallen into a dream, a dream that had trapped him for decades.

But when he came to his senses and saw the face hidden in the mist, he finally realized that this was no longer a dream from decades ago, but a real encounter.

"Li Muxuan, it's been many years. You don't seem to have improved much."

Lu Jin walked barefoot, his robe sleeves billowing in the swirling Qi clouds. As the sleeves fluttered, he seemed like a pure white cloud, drifting towards Li Muxuan.

His face was calm, devoid of joy or sorrow, as still as a deep pool without ripples.

Those almost pale white eyes swept over Li Muxuan, who was bound on the ground. There was no mockery, no resentment or anger in them, only indifference, as if the figure in front of him was no longer an enemy from decades ago, but a passerby who happened to be there.

"Hehe, it looks just like it, so much like it."

Li Muxuan was bound by Lü Qian's talisman. His awkward sitting posture when he landed changed into a slightly limping standing posture as he slowly stood up.

He held up his bruised and swollen old face and moved closer to Lu Jin, who seemed to float like an immortal.

This mischievous boy from Quanxing seemed to have seen something interesting. He limped around Lu Jin once, then continued speaking with a sly grin.

"But it's just like that. Lu Jin, you can study your whole life and you'll never become the Left Sect Master."

Before he finished speaking, the ethereal and dancing Qi suddenly began to rise, and amidst the swirling mist, Lu Jin stretched out a large hand and covered Li Muxuan's ugly, smirking face.

"Bang!"

"boom!"

The impact of the collision was deafening, followed by the loud crack of shattering bricks.

Lu Jin's fair hand gripped Li Muxuan's head and slammed it down onto the ground. Bricks and stones shattered, and his smirking old face was now buried deep in the cracks, intimately in contact with the soil below.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Without stopping, a second and a third blow followed in quick succession. Lu Jin gripped the disheveled head, suddenly lifted it up, and then slammed it down hard onto the already cracked stone bricks.

"Bang!"

After three blows, the weathered bluestone slab shattered completely with a fragile, mournful cry.

After striking three times, Lu Jin stood up. He still had the otherworldly appearance of white hair and white clothes, as if he wasn't the one who had just made the fierce move.

He lowered his head and looked down at Li Muxuan, who was bent over with his head smashed into the ground. His solemn expression became even more gloomy, and his calm demeanor finally cracked.

Beneath that celestial face, several cracks appeared, and flowing from these cracks was undisguised rage.

"You don't deserve it!"

Lu Jin said fiercely to Li Muxuan below, "You are not worthy to mention the Left Sect Leader!"

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

From the ground, beneath the broken stone slabs, came the sounds of stumbling, panting breaths, or more accurately, laughter.

Li Muxuan struggled to straighten up. Although his hands and feet were bound, he still stubbornly looked at Lu Jin again, grinning hoarsely from his bleeding mouth.

"Hahaha......"

"You say I haven't improved? I think you, Lu Jin, have wasted your life all these years."

"Peak of the second level of the Reverse Life Triple Realm, what a high level of cultivation! Come on, why don't you kill me? If you have any guts, you should have killed me the moment we met!"

He slumped back in a frenzy, ignoring his bloodied and mangled face, and looked mockingly at Lu Jin's hidden rage.

Beneath that other person's ethereal appearance, the greed, anger, and ignorance of an ordinary mortal were about to burst forth. Such an outward appearance and inner self were so contradictory and so ridiculous.

"Come on, if you've got the guts, just kill me!"

"Lu Jin, your mistake was that you still have a human heart!"

Li Muxuan's words made Lu Jin clench his fist tightly, his five fingers coming together, gathering the rebellious power of the dragon and tiger.

If Lu Jin could just raise his fist and smash it into Li Muxuan's crazed face, everything would be over.

But this seemingly immortal and flawless patriarch of the Lu family still couldn't raise the fist that he should have raised long ago.

"Oh, what a tragedy!"

Just as Lu Jin was unaware, a sigh came from inside the Sanyi Gate. The old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei stepped across the threshold, followed by more than a dozen senior elders.

"Greetings to the Celestial Master, and greetings to all the seniors."

Lu Qian bowed to the elders, then removed the talismans binding Li Muxuan and stepped aside.

Now that the old master has spoken, today's show has a pillar to back it up, and this young man only needs to step back and watch the show.

"Amitabha Buddha, Benefactor Lu, please calm your mind and do not lose your composure."

Master Jiekong chanted a Buddhist mantra. His voice was calm and steady, as if it carried its own Buddhist charm. A serene atmosphere arose, soothing the restless hearts of some of the elderly people present.

Since Lu Jin did not kill Li Muxuan directly earlier, he should not act rashly now. Otherwise, the old grudges will not be settled and new inner demons will be added.

At that point, everything about the Sanyi Sect will truly become a huge, tangled mess that's impossible to unravel.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Jin finally released his clenched fist. He nodded his thanks to the Old Celestial Master and Zen Master Jiekong, then stepped aside.

"Thank you for your understanding, Celestial Master and Zen Master Jiekong. The matter of the Sanyi Sect will be put aside for now. You can go and settle old scores with this wicked person first."

"Thank you, Master Lu."

Many of the older generation of extraordinary individuals stepped forward, clasped their hands in thanks towards Lu Jin, and then walked towards the disheveled Li Muxuan.

"Old Lu is in trouble now. You really can't be too aloof, or you'll easily lose face."

Lu Ci and Wang Ai walked towards Lu Qian together. They glanced at Lu Jin, who was silent in the distance, and began to discuss things meaningfully without any attempt to hide their intentions.

"If you ask me, why bother with all that? When we see Li Muxuan, we should just take action directly. It wouldn't be a shame to kill someone like that."

As Lü Qian watched the two figures walking towards him, bent over and hand in hand, their undisguised words echoing in his ears, he couldn't help but smile.

"Gentlemen, you shouldn't advise others to do good if you haven't experienced their suffering. Let's not worry about it."

"Hey kid, do you think we two old folks don't understand reason?"

Lu Ci glanced at Lu Qian, and standing behind Wang Ai, looking at the tragic scene in front of them, shook his head and said, "It's precisely because we know too much that we don't want Lu Jin to be tormented by his inner demons until his death."

"Besides, that guy is stubborn. If he could be persuaded by our few words, then he wouldn't be Lu Jin of the Lu family."

Wang Ai nodded in agreement, "That's right. Only the Old Master can help Lu Jin, who's pretending to be serious, to see things clearly."

"Who told them to still remember that slap in the face?"

"Wang Ai, you shameless skinner, shut your mouth!"
