World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Without hesitation, Luo Wuji asked, "Qing'er, what's the situation? Give me the details."    

Luo Qing'er was forthright, sharing all the recent developments.    

"Hmph, Luo Changkong, that old fox—I've always known he had his eyes on Big Brother's Luo Shui Merchant Union. His true colors are finally showing," Luo Wuji remarked with a cold snort of disdain.    

During his time with the Luo Water Merchant Union, Luo Wuji had recognized Luo Changkong's ambition. He had long intended to eliminate this threat to the Union, but Luo Changkong had been too cunning, leaving no openings to exploit. Reluctantly, Luo Wuji had to shelve his plans to confront him.    

Now, with Luo Changkong attempting to seize control of the Luo Water Merchant Union in the wake of his brother's injury, Luo Wuji was not about to let him off the hook so easily.    

"Qing'er, if you've already secured the healing elixir for Big Brother, why the delay? Let's hurry and get it to him," Luo Wuji said, determination glinting in his eyes.    

"Elder Wuji, I'm concerned that Luo Changkong won't allow us easy access to the Alliance Leader. Aren't we being a bit rash in trying to deliver the medicine just like that?" Luo Li interjected, visibly worried.    

"We can't afford to wait on Big Brother's injuries," Luo Wuji replied sternly. "If Luo Changkong dares to stand in our way, we'll take him down!"    

Even as a seventh-grade Heaven Immortal, Luo Wuji's combat prowess had rivaled that of a ninth-grade Heaven Immortal. Now, having advanced to the eighth-grade Heavenly Immortal realm, he was confident that even a peak ninth-grade Heavenly Immortal like Luo Changkong would not be a match for him.    

Luo Li was about to voice further concerns, but Luo Qing'er cut him off. "Uncle Li, there's no point in arguing. We'll follow Uncle Wuji's lead."    

"Uncle Wuji's return won't stay secret for long. If we try to visit our father now, it's bound to lead to a confrontation."    

Luo Li opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent.    

Since Luo Qing'er and Luo Wuji had made up their minds, there was no point in objecting.    

Besides...    

Luo Wuji possessed exceptional talent. His boldness suggested he had some level of confidence in facing Luo Changkong.    

Moreover...    

They had Peter Parker's assistance this time. It wasn't as though they stood no chance at all.    

"Let's head to where big brother is in seclusion."    

Having said that, Luo Wuji took the lead, making his way to Luo Qianqiu's residence.    

Before long, the four of them arrived at the outskirts of Luo Qianqiu's home.    

A few months earlier, upon returning from an expedition to a mysterious realm, Luo Qianqiu had erected a Golden Immortal Barrier around his residence, sealing himself inside to recuperate from his injuries.    

Several months had passed with no activity from within Luo Qianqiu's home.    

In the meantime, the Grand Elder, Luo Changkong, had stationed guards around the property, forbidding anyone from coming within a 3,000-meter perimeter.    

The current state of Luo Qianqiu's injuries was unknown.    

As the quartet approached the residence, Luo Alonzo, who had been on watch outside the manor, promptly led a contingent of guards to intercept Peter Parker's group.    

Luo Wuji's demeanor grew icy. "Luo Alonzo, it's been a while. You've grown quite audacious, blocking my way like this!"    

"Elder Wuji, I apologize."    

Luo Alonzo, clenching his jaw, explained, "The Great Elder has decreed that no one is to come within three thousand feet of the Alliance Master's mansion to prevent any disturbance to his seclusion."    

"And who does he think he is? Even if Big Brother is in seclusion, he doesn't run the Luo Water Merchant Union."    

Luo Wuji glared at Luo Alonzo and demanded, "I'm here to see my Big Brother. Step aside!"    

Luo Alonzo shook his head and said, "Elder Wuji, the Great Elder is acting in the best interest of the alliance leader. Please don't make this difficult for me."    

"Do you actually believe I wouldn't dare to kill you, Luo Alonzo? Since you're so intent on meeting your demise, I'll grant your wish!"    

As Luo Wuji's voice trailed off, an overwhelming Heavenly Immortal pressure surged toward Luo Alonzo, causing his complexion to turn deathly pale.    

However, just as Luo Wuji prepared to strike, two Heavenly Immortal energies pulsed through the heavens and the earth.    

Moments later, two figures materialized before Luo Wuji.    

The leader, exuding an aura as formidable as Luo Wuji's, was Luo Changkong, the Grand Elder of the Luo Water Merchant Union.    

Standing beside Luo Changkong was a middle-aged man also in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, Luo An, another Elder of the Luo Water Merchant Union.    

In addition to Luo Qianqiu, the Golden Immortal, the Luo River Merchant Union boasted six elders in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.    

Two of them managed the external affairs of the Luo River Merchant Alliance, while the other four had convened here today.    

"Luo Wuji, what unexpected turn of events has brought a wayward soul like you back to the Luo Shui Merchant Union?" Luo Changkong inquired coolly.    

He continued, "You've stirred up quite the storm upon your return. It's hardly becoming."    

"Enough with the platitudes, Luo Changkong," Luo Wuji retorted, his impatience evident. "I need to see my elder brother today. Are you really going to stand in my way?"    

"The Alliance Master is in a delicate phase of healing. Disturbing him now would be unwise," Luo Changkong replied, his face devoid of emotion.    

"Old man, if you're angling for my brother's position as the Alliance Master, just be upfront about it. Don't hide behind pretenses," Luo Wuji challenged, his voice laced with a threat. "I will see my brother today, and I'll take down anyone who tries to stop me!"    

"Is that a fact?" Luo Changkong's eyes grew icy. "You'll have to prove you're capable of such a feat if you wish to lay a hand on me!"    

Luo Wuji was intent on killing him, so naturally, the feeling was mutual. Despite his aversion to leadership, his talent was undeniable, and his loyalty to Luo Qianqiu was unwavering. Today, his goals were twofold: to thwart Luo Wuji and his cohorts from healing Luo Qianqiu and to eliminate Luo Wuji himself. Luo Wuji's demise would effectively cripple Luo Qianqiu.    

In due course, he would break the news of Luo Wuji's death to Luo Qianqiu. Given the deep bond between them, such news would surely shatter Luo Qianqiu's spirit, exacerbating his injuries. It was a perfect strategy to achieve multiple objectives with a single move.    

"Luo Changkong, today I, Luo Wuji, will demonstrate the true extent of your abilities as a ninth-grade Heavenly Immortal," Luo Wuji declared, his palm morphing into a saber as he launched an attack on Luo Changkong.    

It's important to note that while both True Immortals and Celestial Immortals harness Immortal Energy, it is categorized by different levels of potency. The energy wielded by a True Immortal is known as the power of a True Immortal, whereas that of a Celestial Immortal is referred to as the power of a Celestial Immortal. The force behind Luo Wuji's saber strike, powered by the might of an eighth-grade Celestial Immortal, was nothing short of formidable.
