(Seeking Collections Seeking Votes)_1 Dongfang Changhe was livid!
At the young age of thirty, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Inner Qi Stage 4.
This level of talent granted him high popularity within the Eastern World Family.
It should be known that among the entire Dongfang Family, aside from the youngster Dongfang Baoyu, he had the highest talent for cultivation.
As for Dongfang Baoyu, who was only thirteen this year, although it wasn’t until Lv Zhong’s “Song of Plum Painting” greatly advanced his strength, stepping into the realm of Inner Qi Third Stage, Dongfang Baoyu hadn’t truly grown up yet, representing only his infinite potential and future.
But Dongfang Changhe was different, he represented the present.
Presently, Dongfang Changhe led the younger generation of the Dongfang Family.
Among many of China’s ancient martial arts families, he was considered a rather outstanding cultivator, therefore, the Dongfang Family held great expectations for him.
Because of this, Dongfang Changhe was extremely proud, barely paying attention to ordinary people.
Moreover, due to his fairly good cultivation talent, he was assured of having enough strength to marry Dongfang Linglong.
Because Dongfang Linglong was indeed a beauty capable of overthrowing cities and kingdoms, Dongfang Changhe truly considered her his woman.
Hence, he would not allow any man to have an intimate relationship with Dongfang Linglong, not even the slightest hint of it.
Now, the “affection” unconsciously exhibited by Lv Zhong and Dongfang Linglong drove him somewhat mad.
Dongfang Changhe, who had always been lost in familial praise, was extremely haughty.
He would sometimes not even regard the current Dongfang Family head, Dongfang Yun Kong.
Seeing the woman intended to be his behaving as if she was “unfaithful”, he was no longer able to suppress the killing intent in his heart.
Suddenly springing up from one side, he quickly pulled Dongfang Linglong aside while glaringly at Lv Zhong with a “choosing a person to devour” look.
Lowering his icy voice he barked, “You little bastard, I warn you, some people are beyond your reach.
Otherwise, not just you, even your entire clan could vanish into thin air…”
“Where did this mad dog spring from?
Does it not fear being butchered while barking wildly?” Lv Zhong was not someone who was easily frightened.
Having inherited the True Spirit and legacy of the Plague God, his confidence was growing, as was his pride.
With secret techniques like “Bridal Dress Divine Skill” and the Plague God Pearl” at his disposal, in this End of Dharma cultivation era, he was confident of becoming Earth’s number one in short time.
Was he expected to be scared by a petty disciple of an ancient martial arts family?
This guy even dared to threaten him by using his family?
Instantly, Lv Zhong also held killing intent towards him.
Similarly, all of a sudden, Lv Zhong felt no goodwill towards the Eastern World Family.
Dongfang Changhe was merely a small-scale ancient martial artist in Inner Qi Stage 4, yet he dared to bark wildly in front of an early innate cultivator like him?
He even threatened others by using their families?
What kind of environment had brought up such a “talent”?
Obviously, the home education of the Dongfang Family was not up to par!
Although this guy’s cultivation talent appeared acceptable to secular people, it did not meet Lv Zhong’s standard.
Just this threatening behavior of his, targeting people’s families, made Lv Zhong look down on him, even stimulating an impulse to annihilate him.
In the cultivation world, the rule is “the stronger individual is the teacher”.
Now, Dongfang Changhe dared to breach the hierarchy and offend a powerhouse in the Innate Stage, even if Lv Zhong killed him, Dongfang Clan should “swallow the loss”.
Inner Qi stage masters are generally the supreme forces in ancient martial arts families!
Moreover, Lv Zhong was an eighteen-year-old Inner Qi stage master.
Once the Eastern World Family learned of Lv Zhong’s strength, even if they wanted to take revenge, they would consider whether or not they could withstand Lv Zhong’s counterattack.
After all, typical ancient martial arts families have large business interests.
If they dared to harm an Inner Qi stage master’s family, they would have to brace themselves for the master’s retaliatory schemes.
“You insignificant bastard, you’re courting death——” Dongfang Changhe angrily roared, clenching his fist and furiously struck at Lv Zhong.
Seeing the conflict between Lv Zhong and Dongfang Changhe truly escalating, Dongfang Linglong’s face turned pale, her usual cold and glamorous expression gone.
A wave of worry and urgency surged in her heart, and she instinctively placed herself in front of Lv Zhong.
Even though Dongfang Linglong had only met Lv Zhong three times before, these encounters had deeply imprinted themselves on her heart.
The first time was when they met on the bus due to a petty thief seeking revenge, leading to a misunderstanding between them.
The second time, Dongfang Linglong became the target of the vicious thug Mingyu, with her chastity and life both extremely threatened.
When she was at her most despairing, Lv Zhong came to her rescue like a hero in a novel.
Not only did he save her, but he also saw her at her most vulnerable, which made her embarrassed and frustrated.
But precisely because of this, the memory was deeply engraved in her mind.
Even though the hero-saving-the-damsel scenario was clichéd, it was the very situation that touched women throughout history the most, especially when Dongfang Linglong was at her most helpless and despairing, it was easy for Lv Zhong to capture her heart.
The third time, they met at Leng Mei’s adult ceremony, where Lv Zhong proudly presented himself as a grandmaster of literature, impressing with his artistic calligraphy and painting skills, greatly embarrassing the deputy mayor Zhou Kaiyuan.
This made her witness Lv Zhong’s unparalleled talent.
Of course, her good friend Zhao Ziyu’s endless chatter about Lv Zhong’s medical skills had also engraved a deep impression of him in her heart.
However, the main point was that after finding out about the complex relationship between the old Zheng and Lv families, Dongfang Linglong had been feeling guilty towards the Lv family as her mother Zheng Shuyu and aunt Zheng Hongmei had repeatedly harmed Lv Zhong’s father.
This was all because the various emotions of misunderstanding, gratitude, indignation, shock, guilt, and other feelings continuously affected her, which made Lv Zhong’s image in her heart grow more profound and more vivid.
Add to that the helplessness and pressure of being in such a great family, which made her a bit rebellious, causing Lv Zhong to completely permeate her heart.
Although Dongfang Linglong eager to seek revenge on the thug Mingyu immediately, she really didn’t want to cause such an uproar this time, which would make her more ashamed.
However, Dongfang Changhe insisted, and the Dongfang Clan felt their family honor was not upheld, and ordered to end this throat-cutter.
Plus, she was somewhat looking forward to meeting Lv Zhong, so she had no choice but to rush over here.
Dongfang Linglong, whose mood was quite complicated, didn’t expect that in the hearts of Dongfang Changhe or some in the Dongfang Clan, they not only wanted to get rid of the throat-cutter but might even ruin or kill Lv Zhong, her rescuer.
“Dongfang Changhe, stop it!
Lv Zhong is just an ordinary person, don’t be too excessive,” Dongfang Linglong shouted at attacking Dongfang Changhe.
One of Dongfang Linglong’s major shortcomings is that when she becomes overly emotional or when the sentiments in her heart fluctuate dramatically, it’s easy for her to lose her cool and act impulsively.
She doesn’t realize that the more she defends Lv Zhong, it only further incites Dongfang Changhe’s anger.
Indeed, Dongfang Changhe saw that Dongfang Linglong not only unconsciously used her own body to block his punch at Lv Zhong, but she also roared at him.
Just then, Dongfang Changhe’s rage was burning furiously in his heart, and his killing intent was soaring.
Although he hadn’t gotten Dongfang Linglong’s body yet, Dongfang Changhe didn’t want to attack her, but he wouldn’t stop just because of her angry yelling.
Heavily influenced by tradition, Dongfang Changhe took male chauvinism to heart.
He wouldn’t tolerate his predetermined woman having anything to do with other men.
Even if he crippled Lv Zhong, could Dongfang Linglong really not become his woman?
In the Dongfang household, Dongfang Linglong couldn’t decide on her own marriage.
As long as the elders of the family agreed, it would be hard for her father, Dongfang Yunkong, to object.
With this thought, Dongfang Changhe flicked Dongfang Linglong’s arm gently, and she was pulled aside by a soft force.
His fist roared out like thunder, aiming for Lv Zhong’s right arm.
He was preparing to cripple one of Lv Zhong’s arms first!
“Hmph, the moment I don’t exert my power, every Tom, Dick, and Harry come to bully me?” Seeing Dongfang Changhe so arrogant, Lv Zhong felt an unparalleled rage rising in his heart.
Although he didn’t say anything, his eyes were terrifyingly ice-cold!
At this moment, Lv Zhong felt a great shock in his heart.
He realized that without strength, others would bully you; even if you have strength but don’t display it, others will still bully you.
Thus, to prevent such things from recurring, he had to show his power and suppress anyone who offended him fully.
As soon as he understood this, Lv Zhong was about to teach Dongfang Changhe a lesson.
However, he found that a figure abruptly positioned himself in front of him and launched an attack on Dongfang Changhe before he could.
“What the hell is going on?”
Surprised, Lv Zhong looked at this figure.
