But Lu Ziming shook his head and said, “Master Zhang, what I said today, the Zhang family, apart from you, probably won’t be able to control it.”
“Not only does not have the qualifications, but also the courage.”
When Lu Ziming said this, Zhang Zixi’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly.
She was a little curious.
What is it that only grandpa can call the shots, and no one else is qualified?
“Patriarch Lu has high regard for me.”
“I am alone now. I am neither the head of the Zhang family nor the president of the Martial Arts Association.”
“One has no power, and the other has no resources.”
“The only thing is, and only the place in front of me.”
“I’m a dying old guy, useless.”
“So Clan Master Lu, please come back.”
Zhang Jiuling didn’t seem to want to know Lu Ziming’s intentions.
Actually you don’t need to know.
He has decided to retire, to leave the troubled mortal world and the sinister martial arts world.
Now that he has decided to stay away, why should he pay attention to the outside world.
But Lu Ziming didn’t mean to leave, instead he said in a deep voice, “Master Zhang, do you really think that you can get out of this martial arts world with a single word of gold and wash your hands?”
“You have no resources and no power, a commoner. But don’t forget, you still have strength.”
“Now that the Lu family has fallen, if the outside martial arts forces invade Jiangbei, the first one to deal with is the Zhang family.”
“You want to retire, but can you really retire?”
Lu Ziming’s words were sharp, and the atmosphere in this world suddenly became solemn.
There was no sound everywhere, only the surrounding vegetation swayed in the wind.
After a long silence, Zhang Jiuling sighed.
“Yes, Patriarch Lu, you are right.”
“The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop.”
“The supreme powerhouses who were number one in the Heavenly Ranking list all fell under the battle of the martial arts forces.”
“Now what about me, an old man who doesn’t even have a title?”
“Tell me, who wants to encroach on the land of Jiangbei.”
“You can tell him that my Zhang family has no intention of fighting for power with him.”
“If he wants to take charge of Jiangbei and be the co-owner of Jiangbei Martial Arts, I, Zhang Jiuling, will never interfere.”
“If he is still not at ease, he insists on getting rid of me so as to avoid future troubles. Then tell him to wait for me in the land of West Lake.”
“Back then, Brother Songliang had blood in his stool and stained the West Lake. If I, Zhang Jiuling, unfortunately died, and my bones were buried in the West Lake, I would be able to meet my old friend Quanxia.”
Zhang Jiuling spoke calmly, her slow words like the still water of a Wangping lake.
Even things like death have become so commonplace in his mouth.
Also, for a centenarian like Zhang Jiuling, he has seen too many people with sinister hearts and conflicting interests.
When things become clear, things like life and death seem too sparse and common.
So, when he said these words, Zhang Jiuling’s old eyes still did not open, and his emotions did not fluctuate.
“Grandpa, you can’t die.”
“This battle, your granddaughter will pick it up for you!”
“Over the years, my granddaughter’s Nine Swords of the West Lake have reached a state of perfection. She is a master and a strong master, and her granddaughter still has the strength to fight!”
Hearing his grandfather’s almost solitary words, Zhang Zixi immediately became anxious and stepped forward.
At the time, Lu Ziming sneered, “Nine Swords of the West Lake?”
“Zixi’s niece, it’s not your uncle who hit you. The one who came to Jiangbei this time, not to mention the nine swords of the West Lake, that is, you have ninety-nine swords in the West Lake, and you won’t have any chance of winning in this battle.”
“Not to mention you, even adding your grandfather and your entire Zhang family is still far from enough.”
“This character is simply beyond the reach of our Jiangbei’s force!”
“Impossible!” Zhang Zixi disagreed, “My grandfather said that in this hot summer land, except for the few pillar kingdoms in the Martial God Temple, I can fight the rest.”
Facing Zhang Zixi’s arrogance, Lu Ziming didn’t answer, just smiled without saying a word.
“Zixi, you should step back first.”
“This is something of our older generation, you are still young.”
“When our elders are gone, after that, this Jiangbei is your era.”
Zhang Jiuling sent his granddaughter back at this time.
“Patriarch Lu, now you can say, who is the person here?” Zhang Jiuling still sat with her eyes closed.
Lu Ziming was silent for a moment, as if he was considering his words.
In the end, his eyes were cold and he said in a condensed voice, “You know this person too.”
“He once washed Jiangbei with blood, and once stepped on Yanshan.”
“Make the Chu family submit and make the world tremble.”
“Go to Trumen alone and not die, you can still live in the realm of fierce battle gods!”
…..
“No. 1 in the Heavenly Ranking, Unparalleled Title.”
