MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1317 - 294: Turning Hostile with the Mosian Family
"You’re called Master Hu, aren’t you?" Lu Hong smiled as he looked at his opponent, "Doesn’t the Redwood City have any laws? Are you allowed to rob and plunder here?"
"Heh heh." Master Hu wasn’t the least bit intimidated, instead, he replied bluntly, "You’re exactly right. I am the law in Redwood City. The City Lord is my brother-in-law, I am the king here!"
Of course, Master Hu wasn’t foolish. If he managed to extort those three hundred thousand gold, he’d definitely give at least two hundred thousand to his brother-in-law, letting him take the fall if anything went wrong.
Upon hearing this, Lu Hong didn’t waste any words, and as if performing a trick, he pulled out a thick stack of gold notes from his pocket and slammed them on the table.
Looking at those golden bills, Master Hu and his crew revealed greedy expressions.
Keep in mind, few in Redwood City possess the financial capability to use these gold notes. This wealth of three hundred thousand gold is enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for decades.
"The notes are here; if you can take them, they’re yours." Lu Hong then sat down with a smile, not making any other move.
Master Hu immediately reached out to grab the notes, but they seemed like they were rooted to the table. No matter how he tried, the notes remained stationary.
This agitated Master Hu, who smashed the stone table in frustration, but the notes bizarrely floated in mid-air, unmoving.
Witnessing this, Master Hu erupted in anger, pointing at Lu Hong and cursing, "Are you up to some trick?!"
The next moment, Master Hu’s entire arm flew off.
"I really dislike being pointed at when spoken to."
With his arm severed instantly, Master Hu grimaced in pain, his anger flaring as he yelled to his men, "Get him, cripple this piece of trash!"
Following the command, his men charged forward.
Unfortunately, in the next moment, these members of Master Hu’s crew were sliced into countless pieces, splattering blood and flesh all over him.
Master Hu was left in shock, exceeding his understanding were such bizarre tactics.
Terror began to crawl into his heart, causing him to retreat in panic, attempting to flee the inn.
Yet, Lu Hong’s Divine Power had already pressed upon him, firmly pinning him in place.
"No need to rush off. Let’s wait for your brother-in-law to arrive and settle this together, saving me another trip."
Soon, after receiving the news of his brother-in-law being detained at the Redwood Inn, the Redwood City Lord surrounded the city with a large force of elite soldiers.
The burly Redwood City Lord stepped into the tavern alone, didn’t even spare a glance at his brother-in-law, and sat opposite Lu Hong.
This City Lord wasn’t an idiot; his brother-in-law was already a late-stage Refining Mansion Realm expert, nearly always followed by dozens of Refining Palace Masters, holding sway over Redwood City. Few could defeat them.
Yet today, upon hearing about Master Hu’s men being instantly slaughtered, and Master Hu himself subdued, the City Lord realized the visitor was formidable and extremely powerful.
After sitting down, the City Lord smiled at Lu Hong, "My family is not sensible, offending you, Sir. I ask Sir to pardon my unruly brother-in-law’s life, would you?"
Lu Hong replied indifferently, "Why should I show you any face?"
"This City Lord is of the Mosian Family bloodline, is that not enough?"
"Mosian Family?" Lu Hong truly hadn’t heard of them.
In the face of Lu Hong’s confusion, the City Lord couldn’t introduce himself, so he gave a glance to the Redwood Innkeeper hiding in the corner.
The innkeeper, a clever fellow, explained to Lu Hong, "The Mosian Family is one of the first-class families of the Yanyang Domain, its influence widespread. Though Yanyang belongs to the Yanyang Emperor, secretly it belongs to the Mosian Family."
Such words surely bordered on rebellion, but in an isolated place like Redwood City, it’s the Mosian Family that holds real power.
Given this introduction, Lu Hong understood—there appears to be a family in Yanyang that can contend with the Domain Master’s authority. Quite impressive.
"Is that so? The Mosian Family sounds interesting." Lu Hong nodded, and as his words fell, Master Hu blew apart, slaughtered instantly.
Seeing Master Hu dead, the City Lord’s pupils widened. What was this? Killing just like that, couldn’t they negotiate?!
"You’re challenging the Mosian Family’s authority!"
The City Lord pointed at Lu Hong, his heart seething with fury.
"And so what, oppressing the common people, acting high and mighty—such a family is unworthy and should be eradicated." Lu Hong spoke calmly, "Don’t worry, your brother-in-law won’t be alone; you’ll join him soon enough!"
Hearing this, the City Lord was shocked, "Guards, kill...!"
Before his words could finish, he too exploded, dying thoroughly.
The City Lord of Redwood was the strongest in this small city. A Martial Sect First Layer Heaven expert being slaughtered so swiftly, those soldiers who planned to rush in, hurriedly retreated, not daring to take a step forward, knowing they’d be delivering themselves to death.
With the two tyrants of Redwood City slain, Lu Hong rose and addressed the soldiers outside, "It was Lu Hong who killed. If you want revenge, send Mosian Family to find me. I will keep traveling east, through Yanyang to Zhongding Domain, so find me quickly if vengeance you seek!"
Mos Gu listened to the Guard Commander’s report, eyes droopy, anger rising continuously.
"Bone General, this is exactly what Lu Hong did and said, every word is true, I beg General to investigate!" The Guard Commander prostrated, trembling uncontrollably.
The Bone General grinned broadly, "I understand, but I’m curious, my brother is dead, why are you still alive?"
This statement seemed to trigger a switch, and instantly, the Bone General’s men grabbed their weapons, stabbing them into the Guard Commander’s chest.
Watching the Guard Commander cease his struggles, the Bone General stood up and ordered, "Convey my command, as my brother is dead, let Redwood City be buried with him!"
This was destined to be a night of massacre.
The next day, the Mosian Family issued a statement that a vicious criminal had annihilated Redwood, presently heading east. The family would unite various forces to encircle and annihilate this villain, restoring peace to Yanyang.
Lu Hong’s height and appearance were described in detail.
Thus, Lu Hong became Yanyang’s top fugitive.
Lu Hong didn’t care much for this; after tasting Yanyang’s unappealing cuisine, his desire to enter cities had faded. Entering was merely for food and drink, and if these were lacking, entering held no meaning.
Within three days of leaving Redwood City, Lu Hong faced five assassination attempts by the Mosian Family, each more formidable than the last.
Initially, it was a group of Martial Arts Sect assassins, over thirty men.
After they died, without receiving reports from these people, the Mosian Family sent two Martial Kings with over ten Martial Arts Sect experts to attack Lu Hong again, only to be annihilated again, unreported.
The Mosian Family was quite stubborn; since two Martial Kings didn’t suffice, they dispatched seven.
The result was the same, total annihilation.
Having disposed of seven Martial Kings at once, logically the Mosian Family should be more prudent now, but no, they continued sending people to kill Lu Hong. On the fourth occasion, they sent a Martial Emperor with thirteen Martial Kings, only for all to be crushed instantly by Lu Hong.
In the last attempt, five Martial Emperors united to target Lu Hong.
Sadly, Lu Hong, having reached the God Realm again, effortlessly crushed them, without any accident.
After these five assassination attempts, the Mosian Family fell silent.
Currently, no Martial Gods have emerged in Yanyang, the strongest power remains at Martial Emperor Level; the family’s five assaults on Lu Hong resulted in the deaths of six Martial Emperors. Even considering the Mosian Family’s wealth and influence, such losses were tremendously painful.
Consequently, in the following days, Lu Hong experienced no further ambushes, calmly traversing the road through Yanyang.
