Chapter 126: The King of Luo

  Luò Wáng

  Just as the Zhenwu Academy was in a state of jubilation, the Luo Wang Fu not far away was filled with sorrow. Their young master, Luo Shui Tian, had died just a few days ago, killed by the second-in-command of the Zhengfa Gate, the second-largest sect in the world. It was said that he was protecting his brother's woman and had infuriated the second-in-command of the Zhengfa Gate, Li Yuan, who then killed him...

  Although his brother Zhou Yuan finally returned, in a fit of rage, he killed Li Yuan without considering any consequences. However, the dead cannot be revived, and Luo Shui Tian can never return again.

  At this time, the Luofu Palace was filled with grief, especially King Luo, whose sorrow at losing his son in middle age was not something that ordinary people could bear. Even someone as strong as King Luo, a renowned master for many years, couldn't withstand it.

  Inside the mourning hall, Luo Wang sat quietly on one side, his eyes red-rimmed. It was clear that losing his only son, Luo Shui Tian, had dealt him a heavy blow. Occasionally, some relatives and friends came to offer their condolences, but Luo Wang's expression remained indifferent, responding perfunctorily to their comforting words.

  "Uncle!!!" A strange voice suddenly reached Luo Wang's ears, pulling him back to reality from his memories. Looking at the young man with a clear face in front of him, whom he had never seen before, Luo Wang was very surprised, because he didn't understand who the other person was and why he would attend his son's funeral.

  The King of Luo took a look at the young man, and it was clear that he had great talent. At just over ten years old, he had already reached the realm of killing intent, which was rare in the entire Central Plains continent.

  "Who are you?" King Luo asked.

  "Uncle, I'm Zhou Yuan. Luo Shui Tian and I are brothers. I'm sorry, he was killed by Li Yuan to protect my woman."

  Luo Wang's face changed, he hadn't expected that this was the same Zhou Yuan who was rumored to be a rare and exceptional Lei system practitioner, one who had been making waves in the outside world for thousands of years, and also his son's good brother.

  It was also because he wanted to help Zhou Yuan protect his woman and son that he ended up dying at the hands of Li Yuan, so it can be said that Zhou Yuan also had a bit of a relationship with this matter.

  However, Luo Wang is indeed worthy of being Luo Wang, as he distinguishes between gratitude and resentment very clearly.

  He shook his head and said, "No need to apologize to me, you didn't do anything wrong. Everything was what I should have done myself. When my brother is not around, protecting his woman from being taken advantage of is something a capable brother should do. There's nothing to apologize for. Instead, I should be thanking you properly, because the grudge against my son was avenged with your help."

  "Don't say that, Uncle. By saying this, you're only making me feel more ashamed. My brother died to save my woman, and even if I have to risk my own life, I must avenge my brother's death. I said that the people who were supposed to take action later had already made preparations, but they were all destroyed by you?"

  "Right, you avenged my son for me. I couldn't just sit back and let them kill you. Besides, this wasn't something I did alone - your ancestor was also involved."

  "The Ice King's Battle Has Begun!!!" Just at this moment, suddenly the crowd erupted in a loud cheer, and then, two figures dressed in white robes slowly walked in.

  Zhou Yuan's heart sank, the person walking in front of him was none other than Bing Xue, the younger brother of Bing Wang who had previously tried to kill Zhou Yuan. And behind him was the young man who had clashed with Zhou Yuan before - Bing Jiutian.

  As expected, Bing Zhan had already seen Zhou Yuan, and in an instant, his face turned stiff. His gaze was tightly fixed on Zhou Yuan, with a fierce killing intent bursting forth from his entire body.

  He hated Zhou Yuan, originally, he and the leader of the Cloud Dragon Guard, Gong Sun Dao, who had stirred up the Tian Di realm, went to Nan Huang together, but in the end, they didn't catch him, and let him escape.

  First, there was the black mamba clone set up by Zhou Yuan, whose strength was comparable to that of an invincible expert who could move heaven and earth. Furthermore, Zhou Yuan's own strength should not be underestimated, as he was able to find a way to make so many guardian positions help him block the pursuit of Ice War without regard for life or death, which ultimately allowed Zhou Yuan to escape.

  Originally, Ice War thought that Zhou Yuan had barely escaped with his life and would definitely find a place to rest and recover for a period of time. At the very least, he wouldn't show up again during this time. However, he didn't expect that this time when he came to Luo Wang's residence, he would actually see Zhou Yuan again, and it turned out that he was also attending this funeral.

  Feeling the unusual atmosphere, Luo Wang raised his head and happened to see Bing Zhan's eyes filled with murderous intent staring at Zhou Yuan. Instantly, Luo Wang became unhappy. His own son from a previous life was good brothers with Zhou Yuan, and their relationship was very close. Luo Shui Tian had even paid with his life in the end to protect Zhou Yuan's woman from being violated. This could be seen from the emotions between him and Zhou Yuan.

  Moreover, Luo Shui Tian's death was avenged by Zhou Yuan, who killed the young master of Zheng Men regardless of the consequences. If it weren't for him and Liu Bai's master joining forces, Zhou Yuan would have been doomed to die this time.

  Although Luo Shui Tian had died, King Luo valued Zhou Yuan highly. In this era, there were not many young people who were so loyal and righteous. Therefore, when Bing Zhan revealed a murderous intent towards Zhou Yuan, King Luo's heart was not pleased.

  "Hmph, Ice War, if you're here to pay respects to my son, then I welcome you. But if you're here to cause trouble, don't blame me for not being polite. Believe me, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your big brother, and he won't have any objections either."

  Luo Wang let out a cold snort, and an invisible aura of pressure was emitted, immediately causing Bing Zhan's body to shudder with his blood boiling. His face turned pale, clearly having suffered a minor injury. This was only because Luo Wang had held back; if he hadn't been cautious and had struck with all his might, Bing Zhan would have been in grave danger this time.

  "King Luo forgives my crime, I understand. In the Luo family, I will absolutely not be presumptuous! You can rest assured on this point." Immediately, Bing Zhan's hostility towards Zhou Yuan was completely retracted.

  Bing Zhan and Bing Jiu Tian stood before the spirit tablet of Luo Shui Tian, lit an incense stick, and bowed three times with great respect. Then they comforted Luo Wang a little more, fulfilled the etiquette, and slowly backed out.

  As soon as they left the mourning hall, Bing Jiutian hastily asked Bing Zhan, "Uncle, do you know Zhou Yuan?"

  "Zhou Yuan? So that's his name!" Bing Zhan said, "Do you still remember your uncle's mission to Nanmeng this time?"

  "Remember, you went to help the eleventh prince with his errand and bring back his fiancée, but what does this have to do with Zhou Yuan? Have you seen him?"

  "Of course, I've seen her. She's the fiancée of the 11th prince, Qianqing, but now she's already Zhouyuan's woman, haha, it's really hard to imagine what kind of expression the 11th prince would have if he knew about this... I'm really looking forward to it..."

  Bing Jiutian was extremely shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that Zhou Yuan would be so deeply involved, everywhere had him, even the consort of the eleventh prince of the Daqian imperial family, Prince Qianqing, dared to be snatched away, truly audacious.

  But from Bing Jiuyi's heart, he couldn't help but admire Zhou Yuan's courage.

  The funeral of Luo Shui Tian lasted for three days, and during these three days, Zhou Yuan was always in the Luo Wang Fu, accompanying Luo Shui Tian to complete his last journey. Only after Luo Shui Tian was buried did Zhou Yuan return to the True Martial Academy.

  Before leaving, Zhou Yuan made a vow in front of Luo Shui Tian's tomb, that he would eradicate the Zhengquan Gate completely within his lifetime and avenge Luo Shui Tian's blood feud.

  Zhou Yuan returned to the True Martial Academy two days later. He was originally going to stay in the Luo Wang's mansion for a few more days, and he wanted to properly bid farewell to the Luo Wang. However, time did not wait for him, because he knew that today was the day when the three great forbidden lands of the True Martial Academy would be opened. He had to enter the Yan Luo Forbidden Land today.

  Others enter the Yama Hell for similar purposes, wanting to try their luck and see if they can get one or two good magical artifacts after entering, or whether they can get a good cultivation technique.

  However, Zhou Yuan's purpose was much simpler. He just needed to go through various challenges and temper himself between life and death, making himself stronger.

  When Zhou Yuan rushed back, many people had already gathered in the square in front of the college. At this moment, the square was crowded with people, and it's estimated that about 80% of the people inside the college were here. Such a vast square actually gave off a slightly overcrowded feeling.
