224 MATTER OF CONFLICT
The arrival of the Teng Patriarch was a huge shock to the crowd. They didn’t expect that a figure of such prominence would personally show his face.
“Lu Ming is hereby arrested on suspicion of the murder of 10 Teng family members.” This announcement caused a huge commotion within the crowd. Lu Ming killed Teng’s family members and ten on top of that.
The Teng family was the current leader of the Ten family alliance. They have managed to hold their position since the establishment of the group. One could easily understand the extent of their power to have maintained this position for such a long time. Every single patriarch of the Teng Family has sat on the throne of the alliance head for generations.
It was said that the current generation patriarch of the family is the youngest one to ever sit on the seat. Contrary to his age, his strength is said to be the best among the previous patriarchs. One could roughly estimate the extent of Teng Luo’s capability to have risen to this position.
...........
The Teng family was said to have a special way of choosing every single successor to their throne. It was said that there would always be a bloody war that took place to decide the victor. The successors were asked to fight a bloody battle within themselves to prove their worth to the throne.
It was rumored that Teng Luo was the only inheritor who didn’t get any support from a Teng family faction and yet killed every single competitor of his in a bloody battle. The battle ended with the beheading of the last generation patriarch, who was Teng Luo’s father. He was personally killed by Teng Luo with his own hands.
The whole arena was silent on the arrival of the Teng patriarch. He was someone who stood on equal foot to the current valley master. He was out to capture Lu Ming.
“There seems to be a misunderstanding. Lu Ming is the top competitor in this year’s Pill Brew competition.” The elder in charge was showcasing a neutral expression. There was no nervousness visible on his old face. He stressed the competitor word to showcase the attitude Pill valley held towards Lu Ming.
.....
“I am here to capture him for interrogation.” Teng Luo didn’t take offense to the old elder’s words. He firmly abided by the decision.
“The Pill Brew competition only allows a practitioner who is within the bone age of twenty to participate. Lu Ming is quite young and is only a Qi in general by cultivation level. The allegations by the Teng patriarch seem too absurd. Unless he thinks that a Qi general can surpass a King realm practitioner.”
The old elders’ words had a mixture of mockery and sarcasm filled within them. His words didn’t give any face to Teng Luo. Although the tone was disrespectful, the words still had logic behind them. The whole audience knew that the allegation was too absurd. How can a Qi general kill a whole group of Kings?
“One’s cultivation doesn’t speak about his overall strength. Many geniuses could surpass their limits and fight with those in realms above theirs.”
“The boundary of Qi general and King can’t be surmounted so easily. Law energy can’t be countered by ordinary energy cultivated by QI generals. You are debasing yourself here, Teng Luo.”
This was the first time the elder spoke up in an angry tone. His position within the pill valley was not a small one. He was one of the emperor level cultivators who was charged with the maintenance of this year’s competition. The crowd was shocked upon him, referring to the Teng patriarch by name.
What shocked the audience, even more, was the unchanged expression of Teng Luo. He didn’t take any offense. These were the grounds of Pill Valley. Trying to subdue the old elder was quite easy for him. He could even kill him with a flick of his hand. But the retribution that would visit his clan wasn’t something they could face.
“No matter what you say, I am bringing this boy in for interrogation.” The Teng patriarch stood his ground. He was hell-bent on taking Lu Ming as a prisoner.

Crimson Lord World-
“This creates some complicacy in our original plan.” The Keeper reminded Lu Ming.
“The Teng family patriarch is still not taking any action. It means he is apprehensive towards the Pill Hall’s attitude.”
“Even if the Pill hall is quite powerful, the frontman is no joke.”
“What is his current cultivation realm.”
“seventh level of emperor realm.” The Keeper said.
Lu Ming didn’t expect the Teng family patriarch to be so powerful. He was a skilled individual after all.
“I can also feel the gaze of someone else. An entity of similar standing is currently overlooking the whole stadium.”
“Does that entity have some killing intent towards me?”
“He seems to be waiting for this guy to take action.”
Lu Ming couldn’t help but be apprehensive about the matter. Two humongous figures were currently thinking about restraining him.
“Can you sense the master’s aura anywhere around here?”
“I am restricting myself. Although I have managed to reach the top of the emperor realm, I can still be captured by them. I need to be careful while surveying the realm. There also seems to be a hidden place around here from which I can sense some dangerous auras. They are also watching the scene after your feat.”
...............
“I fear we can’t abide by your wishes, Teng patriarch.” The old elder spoke up. Lu Ming was once a thousand-year genius who broke every single record established ever since the formation of Pill Valley. How could they let Teng’s family imprison Lu Ming?
“Are you sure about that?” Teng Luo was extraordinarily calm.
The old elder instantly released his aura, trying to gain an upper hand in the situation. This was his home ground. How could he back down?
Teng Luo simply nodded his head in disappointment and waved his hand towards the old elder. A single wave of Qi released out of his sleeve directly hitting the old elder.
To his dismay, although he tried to defend against the attack, he was directly blasted to the ground, creating a huge vibration and spreading dust everywhere. Once the dust settled, one could see a wounded old man looking at Teng Luo in the sky with fear in his eyes. He held his injured arm tightly. Just what sort of attack was this?
The audience gasped in surprise. Teng Luo held the title of leader for good reason.
“Take him into custody.” Teng Luo said to the people behind him.
Throughout the whole process, Lu Ming was extremely calm. Although he was quite nervous about the current situation, all he could do was wait for his master to take action.
Just as the Teng family elders were about to move out, another humongous amount of pressure spread throughout the stadium, suppressing them directly.
“Does the Teng family think that my valley is their playground?”
Another colossal figure made his appearance within the stadium. All the valley elders stood up from their seats when he made his appearance.
“We greet the valley master.”
The head of Pill Valley made his appearance.
