Lu Tao coldly stared at Lu Tianqi: "You're but a naive little girl, what makes you think you are worthy to be the head of this family? Today, you better hand over this murderer to be brought to justice, and then we can discuss the matter of you becoming the head of the family!"

Before Lu Tao stepped forward, he had already received news that the culprit who hurt his son was a direct relative from the family head lineage.

Thus, he wanted to use this opportunity to force a coup!

When the time came, even if Lu Tianqi truly had the heart to kill her own kin, he would still have more reasons to impeach Lu Tianqi!

Anyway, the struggle for the position of family head had already given him too many advantages today. He no longer wanted to drag this out. He wanted to settle it today!

"Lu Tao... Did your fox tail finally show?" Lu Tianyue chuckled coldly, then turned her attention to Chu Mo without bothering about Lu Tao: "Who are you? And why did you injure someone at the Lu family's doorstep?"

Chu Mo looked at Lu Tianyue, then hesitated and again looked at Lu Tianqi, "Are you guys Tianyue and Tianqi?"

"Impudent... How dare you call the family head's name?" A cultivator standing beside Lu Tao scolded loudly, seemingly wanting to confront Chu Mo.

"Shut up!" Lu Tianyue's golden pill realm energy suddenly burst out, covering the entire scene.

The powerful pressure left everyone speechless, including Lu Tao.

Lu Tao's face became extremely pale, with an ominous glint in his eyes. He inwardly cursed, 'Wretch...If it weren't for the Lingdong Mountain backing this wretch, I, Lu Tao, wouldn't have to put forth so much effort to become the family head.'

The cultivator who had just spoken spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and his face turned ghostly pale, not daring to utter another word.

Lu Tianqi furrowed her brows, looking at Chu Mo, murmuring: "I... I feel like I have seen you somewhere, but I can't recall where?"

"Tianqi, I am Lu Tianming!" Chu Mo looked at Lu Tianqi, speaking emotionally. "Don't you remember? We used to play together!"

While speaking, Chu Mo couldn't help but disdain himself in the depths of his heart, 'My acting has improved...'

However, it was a necessary act. According to Lu Tianyue, Chu Mo could continue using this identity till he ascends to the Immortal Realm in future!

Therefore, he must deceive everyone, including Lu Tianyue's biological sister, Lu Tianqi.

"You...you're Brother Tianming? Oh my god... Is it really you, Brother Tianming? That's wonderful...you finally came back! You have no idea, after you left, I cried for many days. I have been thinking about you all these years. You really are heartless to show up only now, Brother Tianming. If my dad was still here, he would be so happy to see you..." As Lu Tianqi spoke, she couldn't help but let tears fall from her eyes.

Chu Mo sighed: "I only came out after hearing about what happened here. I asked my master to let me out. I already know about everything. Tianqi, you should accept it. Don't worry, I came to help you overcome these difficulties!"

Her eyes misty with tears, Lu Tianqi just shook her head weakly, whispering: "Just knowing that you've come to see us, Brother Tianming, already makes me very happy!"

Lu Tianqi's character had changed quite a bit after Chu Mo had given her a stern scolding earlier. Now that her father was no longer alive, the tomboy that used to swagger around Jinxiu City seemed to have vanished completely, replaced by a strong, stubborn little girl holding onto her father's properties.

On the other side, Lu Tao's face turned extremely dark. He coldly looked at Chu Mo, sarcastically saying: "Who knows where this bastard came from? Who knows whether you're the real deal or just an impostor? Hmph, if you really were from the Lu family, how could you take actions against your own brother? Open your fucking eyes and see—who you just killed—are all descendants of the Lu family!"

Chu Mo just glanced coldly at Lu Tao: "Do you want to die?"

"You...you dare to threaten me?" Lu Tao was immediately furious: "By seniority, I am also your elder! Why would a descendant of the Lu family...who gave you the courage to speak in such a way to your elders?"

"An elder? You're joking right?" Chu Mo stared at Lu Tao with a cold gaze: "As soon as I arrived in Jinxiu City, I heard about the major change that had happened. The family head had fallen, a side branch of the family was attempting to seize power—that must be you?"

"You're just making baseless accusations!" Despite the decision to face off, Lu Tao still felt a burning shame on his face after being confronted in public.

"Whether it's baseless or not, you know it very well." Chu Mo said indifferently: "When I arrived, I asked the guard to announce my arrival. Your son came out and asked the guard who I was. As soon as the guard said I was a relative from the head of the family lineage, your son flew into an attack. Even after failing once, he still wanted to kill me! You certainly have raised a good son. He wanted to kill me without hesitation even knowing that I'm a Lu family descendant...Now, here you are, playing the same game as your son, trying to smear all this filth on me. You two are quite the pair!"

Before Lu Tao could say anything, he was interrupted by Chu Mo once again.

"Also, if you're not blind, you should be able to see that it was them attacking me. Look at the dagger in your son's hand, it's his, right? Now look at the wounds on your son...apart from the wrist that I broke, which injury did I cause?" Chu Mo ridiculed Lu Tao: "Furthermore, don't talk to me about seniority. It's true that my surname is Lu but I have no relation with you."

Lu Tao was infuriated to the point of nearly vomiting blood. He couldn't argue with Chu Mo, so he decided to cast his glance onto the Lu sisters, Lu Tianyue and Lu Tianqi: "Acting family heads...are you planning to shield this murderer today?"

Lu Tianqi glanced at Chu Mo before saying: "He's not a murderer. They were the ones who attacked him first. He was defending himself."

"Ha, self-defense, what a wonderful phrase!" Lu Tao gritted his teeth: "If you people want to be unkind today, then don't blame me for being unjust! I, Lu Tao, swear to stand against you to seek justice for my son, even if it kills me!"

By this time, the entrance of the Lu family mansion was completely sealed off. Everyone had gathered here. The people behind the Lu sisters were clearly outnumbered by those siding with Lu Tao.

Someone behind Lu Tao laughed coldly: "This kind of person who points their arms outward doesn't deserve to be a family head at all. If the Lu family falls into their hands, it won't take long for it to be squandered completely!"

"That's right, today they're covering for a pretty boy, who knows who they'll go for next!"

"The Lu family doesn't belong to just one or two people, it belongs to all of us. We'll never let the reputation of the Lu family be tarnished by you people!"

"That's right! We'll never let it happen!"

"Never let it happen!"

All the people behind Lu Tao joined in the uproar.

Even under Lu Tianyue's golden pill realm pressure, this group of people still raised their voices, demanding a change in leadership.
