Lu Da Tou?
Hearing the name, Zhou Zhishan trembled.
He quickly stood up and asked, "May I ask if Your Excellency is Mr. Lu, known as Xi Yuan?"
Lu Da Tou said proudly, "That's right, Xi Yuan, it is I!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in a clamor.
Most of the guests present were well-traveled and had naturally heard of the renowned titles, "Southern Madman, Northern God, Eastern Hero, Western Grievance."
Although Xi Yuan's presence among these four unparalleled figures was relatively weaker, it was mainly because this individual was elusive, unlike the other three who had their own vast enterprises.
However, how could someone who could be mentioned in the same breath as Xiao Tian Ce be an ordinary person?
The Zhou family, entrenched in Wei City, was a prominent aristocratic family. But before this Mr. Lu, Xi Yuan, they were nothing.
After receiving Lu Da Tou's affirmative reply, Zhou Zhishan's imposing aura immediately diminished.
He timidly asked, "Mr. Lu, the Zhou family has always had no dealings with Your Excellency, and we have kept to our own paths. May I ask why Your Excellency is causing such a disturbance at my birthday banquet today?"
Before Lu Da Tou could reply, Master Luo said faintly, "He is here for me."
Then, Master Luo looked at Lu Da Tou and said, "Da Tou, it has been over thirty years since we last parted, my disciple and I. In the blink of an eye, you have become the renowned Xi Yuan of the martial world. Every time I think of this, I feel deeply gratified."
Master Luo's words undoubtedly dropped a bombshell into the crowd.
This Master Luo was actually the master of Xi Yuan?
If the disciple was already so formidable, then the master must be even more so!
Upon hearing Master Luo's words, Zhou Zhishan's spirits lifted, and he said with a smile, "So Mr. Lu is one of us. Mr. Lu, please take the honored seat. After Master Luo helps me resolve my troubles, you two master and disciple can catch up."
As soon as Zhou Zhishan finished speaking, Master Luo said with an embarrassed expression, "My lord, you misunderstand. Da Tou is here to seek revenge from me..."
"..."
Zhou Zhishan was speechless. Were they not master and disciple? Why was he seeking revenge?
Then, he heard Master Luo say, "Da Tou, if you want to take revenge on your master, I can understand. You must have searched for me with great difficulty for the past twenty years... However, I have important matters to attend to. If you want revenge, wait until I deal with this brat!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Da Tou's figure flashed, and he had already positioned himself in front of Chen Xiao.
"Heh heh, you wish. I've known these two young friends for a long time. How could I stand by and watch you harm them? Stop your nonsense. Since you know I've been looking for you for twenty years, you should know how desperately I want to kill you!"
Lu Da Tou said with a chilling tone.
Chen Xiao noticed that upon seeing Master Luo, Lu Da Tou's demeanor had changed.
A bit of his carefree spirit was replaced by intense anger.
He wondered what kind of grudges and entanglements existed between this master and disciple.
At this moment, Zhou Zhishan grew anxious. He was unsure who was stronger between Lu Da Tou and Master Luo.
However, Lu Da Tou's reputation preceded him, and Master Luo was old and past his prime. It was likely that the master was no match for the disciple.
He secretly grumbled in his heart, "Even if you want revenge, couldn't you wait until Master Luo finishes helping me first?"
With this thought, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu, you may not know, but this brat Chen Xiao is utterly disrespectful and has gone too far. Could Mr. Lu do me a favor and wait until Master Luo has finished his business before settling your grievances!"
"Bah!"
Lu Da Tou spat disdainfully, "You old scoundrel, you think too highly of yourself. I heard everything you were saying outside just now. You old scoundrel even harmed your own daughter. You are worse than pigs and dogs. Why should I give you any face!"
Zhou Zhishan was instantly enraged. He thought, "He's the dignified Xi Yuan, yet his language is so vulgar and crude?"
However, despite his anger, he dared not speak ill of Lu Da Tou. If this gentleman were to become displeased, his own old life might be in jeopardy.
Just as Zhou Zhishan was at a loss, Master Luo suddenly said nonchalantly, "My lord, please remain calm. Since Da Tou is insistent on seeking revenge from me, I will deal with him first, and then kill that brat to vent your anger."
Zhou Zhishan was slightly stunned. "Master Luo, do you have the confidence to defeat Mr. Lu?"
Master Luo smiled proudly and said softly, "My lord, don't forget, I am Da Tou's master. I taught him all his skills. How could I be inferior to him?"
After speaking, Master Luo looked at Lu Da Tou and said in a calm tone, "Come on, Da Tou, let your master see how much progress you've made over the years."
His tone was as if he were merely going to spar with Lu Da Tou, but Chen Xiao noticed that the killing intent emanating from this man was more than ten times stronger than before.
All his humble and respectful demeanor was a pretense.
This was another hypocritical gentleman!
At this moment, Lu Da Tou suddenly turned his head and whispered to Chen Xiao, "Young friend Chen Xiao, this person's strength is considerable, and I may not be his match. However, I can certainly keep him occupied. When we start fighting, you should quickly take your woman and leave, do you understand?"
Chen Xiao shook his head. "I don't understand, Mr. Lu. Since you don't have a guaranteed victory, why did you come to seek revenge from this person?"
"I have a reason to kill him!"
Lu Da Tou said with firm conviction, his eyes flashing with rage.
"Moreover, I have been searching for him for twenty years and no longer wish to wait... In a person's life, how many twenty-year periods are there, wouldn't you agree, young friend Chen Xiao..."
Without waiting for Chen Xiao's reply, Lu Da Tou turned back and walked towards Master Luo.
Their eyes met, filled with determination, like sharp points of needles clashing.
This was a duel, deciding not only victory and defeat but also life and death!
Master Luo smiled slightly, "Da Tou, you have aged considerably, and I never expected you to become so unhygienic. Your master is truly surprised."
"Enough nonsense. Considering our master-disciple relationship, I will let you make the first move!"
Lu Da Tou said forcefully.
Master Luo did not get angry. "This place is a bit cramped and not ideal for fighting. Perhaps we should move elsewhere."
Before he finished speaking, Master Luo took a step forward, and his figure flickered, appearing ten meters away, right in the center of the hall.
"My apologies, everyone. I need to clear a battlefield. Please bear with me if there is any offense!"
Master Luo bowed with his hands clasped, then stomped on the ground. An invisible surge of energy spread out from him.
Suddenly, the banquet hall was like a scene of flying sand and rolling stones. Tables and chairs were sent flying everywhere. The distinguished guests were also affected and sent tumbling backward.
In just four or five seconds, within a ten-meter radius around Master Luo, there was nothing left...
