Chapter 182 Zhu Lu's Lament

Standing to the side, Zhu Lu, after hearing Zhu Xian repeatedly denounce him as a "beast," finally let his long-suppressed emotions burst forth like a flood breaking through a dam!

"Beast? What heinous crime have I committed?"

Why should I be subjected to such insults for no reason?

Is it possible that truly falling in love with someone is a sin?

In fact, if Zhu Lu had been able to humble himself slightly, bow his head to Zhu Xian, admit his mistake, and show his obedience, the storm would have subsided quickly.

After all, what Zhu Xian hates most is betrayal!

If Zhu Xian could exchange a woman for a bodyguard, even if the bodyguard didn't seem very powerful, he would do so without hesitation.

In his view, a loyal follower is a dog that will never betray you, while a woman, no matter how much you love her, will grow old quickly!

After a woman ages and loses her beauty, whether she's a celestial beauty or an ugly woman, they all look the same.

Furthermore, given his current status and power, would Zhu Xian lack women?

Although being cuckolded is absolutely unacceptable, judging from the current situation, there has been no substantial violation of ethics or morality between the two of them. This is nothing more than Zhu Lu's wishful thinking and unrequited love from beginning to end.

This can be verified from the intelligence he has and from the pale, terrified Bingniang's face—she was completely unaware of Zhu Lu's deep and passionate love.

But Zhu Lu, that kid, I don't know what's wrong with him today. He's usually so clever and quick-witted, but at this moment, it's like his brain has suddenly gone mad, and he can't wrap his head around it at all.

When he stepped into the magnificent hall, instead of immediately bowing his head and admitting his mistake as usual, he seemed like a different person. He dared to openly challenge Zhu Xian and even confront him head-on.

How could Zhu Xian, who was high above and whose word was law, possibly tolerate this?

His face was flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead, and his eyes were wide open. He roared at Zhu Lu with uncontrollable rage, "Beast! You unfilial and disobedient beast! Today I will tear you to pieces to vent my hatred!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lu's long-suppressed anger erupted like a volcano.

He stared directly at Zhu Xian without fear, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Come on! If you have the guts, kill me! I've been wanting to die for a long time anyway. Living in the agony of being deceived by you every day is worse than death. It would be better to just die!"

"You... what did you just say? If you have the guts, explain yourself clearly again!"

Zhu Xian stared in disbelief at her nearly insane "son," her voice trembling with rage.

At this point, Zhu Lu had no more scruples. He shouted hysterically, "Hmph! Fine, I'll say it!"

Didn't you always tell me that all my childhood playmates were in seclusion, cultivating their spirituality?

Actually?

Is this really the case?

I bother!

Actually, many years ago, you cruelly ate them all one by one!

Do you really think this can be kept secret?

Did you really think you could get away with it without anyone noticing? Huh?

You heartless and insane demon!

You won't even spare your own kind, tell me, who's the real beast here? Huh?

Upon hearing these words, Zhu Xian's face turned deathly pale, and a barely perceptible look of panic flashed in his eyes.

He had no idea why the secret hidden deep within his heart, a top secret unknown even to the other two lords, was known so clearly to a mere boy!

At that moment, he felt a chill run down his spine, and the surveillance methods that had given him peace of mind now seemed to have become a joke!

Is there really a spy movie involved?

At this moment, Zhu Xian completely panicked!

However, he quickly suppressed the surging emotions within. Then, Zhu Xian's eyes widened in anger, and he roared like an angry lion: "You lawless, unfilial beast!"

I raised you with great difficulty, caring for you with love and care.

I don't expect you to achieve great success; I only wish for a peaceful life.

I never expected that you would utter such outrageous words and fabricate such vicious rumors to slander me for the sake of a mere woman!

it is good!

That's great!

Since you are so heartless and ungrateful, disowning me, the ancestor who raised you for so many years, then don't blame me for disregarding our past master-disciple relationship! Ah!

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Xian suddenly swung his right hand, and an extremely sharp palm wind whistled out.

At this moment, Zhu Lu was immersed in endless grief and indignation, and never imagined that his ancestor would turn against him.

Even if he had some prior knowledge, he was powerless to resist.

"Bang~!"

Zhu Lu was sent flying by Zhu Xian's palm strike without any suspense!

Bingniang, kneeling to the side, stared in shock at everything that was happening before her. She was terrified and opened her mouth wide, trying to scream, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound.

A dull thud was heard as Zhu Lu's body was slammed heavily to the ground.

On the verge of death, Zhu Lu stared wide-eyed at Zhu Xian, his face filled with disbelief.

Even now, he still couldn't accept that Zhu Xian would kill him.

"Ancestor!"

Ancestor!

Zhu Lu's final cries were like the mournful wail of a dying young beast using its last strength!

Every sound is heartbreaking and devastating!

Even after the last glimmer of light in his eyes faded, his face remained filled with shock, despair, deep resentment, and regret.

This man, who had been struggling between justice and filial piety for more than a year, never imagined that he would leave this world in such a tragic and unexpected way!

Enraged, Zhu Xian had lost all reason. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with endless killing intent.

He glared fiercely at Bingniang, who was completely terrified and at a loss, and without hesitation raised his hands, slamming them down on Bingniang's smooth, jade-like forehead with overwhelming force.

You should know that she was one of the four beauties with a face that could launch a thousand ships, and was considered to be the most beautiful woman in the country!

She was his most favored woman.

However, at that very moment, accompanied by a muffled bang, Bingniang's beautiful head exploded like a ripe watermelon, with scarlet blood mixed with white brain matter splattering everywhere.

The once beautiful and charming woman passed away in the blink of an eye, leaving this world forever.

Looking at the red and white filth covering his hands, Zhu Xian's face, which was twisted and deformed with anger, suddenly showed an extremely strange and morbid smile.

With a slight pull of his hands, the two corpses that were lying on the ground seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force and flew into his hands with a "whoosh".

Then, an even more horrifying scene unfolded—Zhu Xian opened his blood-red maw, like a ravenous beast, and viciously bit down on the two still convulsing corpses in his hands.

In an instant, a chilling chewing sound and a gnawing sound that could make one's teeth ache echoed throughout the deathly silent hall...
