Lu Wen remembered that certain high profile inner disciples, as well as the person who would soon become an important inner disciple himself, Wen Zihao, the person ranked first in the arena, had disappeared in the 'Vermilion realm' this time well.

He clearly remembered fatty Fu's expression when he had mentioned that Shun Long was among these people too, but Lu Wen had been the most shocked by Wen Zihao's disappearance at that time.

That was the person who only had 2 defeats in the outer arena, and would certainly become an outstanding Elder of the 'Floating Cloud sect' in the future.

He even had a chance of becoming a figure similar to the Grand Elder Lan Hong!

Lu Wen wouldn't wait until Wen Zihao became too strong in order to curry favor with him.

Instead, he had planned on investing in him as soon as they returned from the 'Vermilion realm'.

This was why he was so disappointed once he heard that Wen Zihao had disappeared this time.

Although there was also a small chance that he had passed the second trial as well, to Lu Wen, it didn't make a difference.

At the same time, among the people who had disappeared, was also the sect master's daughter.

Lu Wen suddenly remembered, that fatty Fu had also mentioned back then, that Liu Mei might have been interested in Shun Long.

At the time, Lu Wen had scoffed at Fu Li inwardly.

Lu Wen considered himself more handsome than Shun Long, richer, as well as stronger.

Even in terms of talent, he didn't think that he was inferior to Shun Long.

Despite Shun Long rising in cultivation too fast, Lu Wen didn't believe that he was any slower than him.

Additionally, Lu Wen had also been fortifying his cultivation in preparation for his breakthrough to the Spirit realm in the future.

He already knew from his grandfather how tough the breakthrough to the Spirit realm would be, and yet, Lu Wen wasn't daunted in the slightest.

After all, despite taking his time fortifying his cultivation in preparation for his breakthrough, in the last 2 years, thanks to all the pills that he had consumed from the Lu family as well as the Meng family, Lu Wen had already become an early rank 2 Heaven grade cultivator, reaching the same level as his older brother!

It was impossible for Shun Long to be any faster than him!

However, without knowing why, as he thought of Shun Long, an astonishing thought was suddenly formed on Lu Wen's mind without any rhyme or reason.

''What if Shun Long actually managed to get together with Liu Jian's daughter?''

Lu Wen didn't know why this thought had suddenly sprouted in his mind and he immediately tried to suppress it, but the more he thought about it, the more this idea had started to take root in his thoughts.

After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, his eyes flashed with a bright light, as he moved towards the door of his room.

Although it didn't make any logical sense, and he had no reason to believe that this was true, Lu Wen intended to personally check whether Shun Long and Liu Mei had really come to the 'Floating Cloud city' together or not.

Besides, Liu Mei's destruction of the Meng family had already destroyed his plans.

Lu Wen knew that it was only a matter of time before his brothers got wind of this issue as well and came to restrain him.

After all, without the Meng family as his ally and support, Lu Wen also knew that his grandfather would no longer support him either.

The Lu family's old patriarch only cared for results.

Since Lu Wen had managed to fool his brothers for so long in order to take the position of the family head, his grandfather had secretly given his approval and even gave him pills and spirit stones to rear his own army.

However, if Lu Wen's plans were foiled, then even if he lost everything to his brothers his grandfather still wouldn't care.

After all, the old patriarch of the Lu family had 3 descendants to choose from, not just Lu Wen.

At the same time that Lu Wen was about to leave his room however, he suddenly felt his vision getting blurry while a painful sensation had suddenly appeared at the back of his neck.

Lu Wen felt like his body had suddenly been robbed of all its strength, as the second young master of the Lu family collapsed to the floor of his room.

He did his utmost not to lose consciousness and slowly turned his head around, only to see that the black-robed Elder who had just reported the news of the Meng family to him was the one to send a chop at his neck, aiming to render him unconscious.

''Why?''

Lu Wen mumbled while he felt his eyelids dropping ever so slowly.

Shaking his head, the black-robed Elder of the Lu family, Lu Chen, shook his head before he answered

''Young master, I am sorry, but it's already over. The Meng family has already been defeated! You no longer have a chance to become the family head! The next family head will surely be young master Lu Gong!''

Before he lost consciousness, these words resounded in Lu Wen's ears over and over, bringing him endless anger and killing intent!

So Lu Chen, one of his most trusted Elders, was actually planted by his elder brother? Or was it that he chose to betray him after learning of the Meng family's betrayal?

Without any more time to contemplate over this issue, Lu Wen could feel his consciousness drifting away, unable to hold on any longer as he finally passed out.

At the same time, in the sky above the 'Administration Building' of the outer city, Liu Mei was sitting on the 'red-winged condor's' back, and stared at her mother next to her before she said in a serious tone

''Mother, this will be the last thing before we leave!''

Lin Huefeng nodded her head with a solemn look in her eyes as she tightly held her daughter's hands.

She knew that what Liu Mei wanted to do now, was probably going to change the 'Floating Cloud sect' forever.
