Divine Brilliance - Chapter 945
Chapter 945: Willingly Serve
“In the end, I still dragged Shou’er you into this…”
The voice spoke calmly as a person suddenly appeared beside Zong Shou.
They patted his shoulder to console him.
Zong Shou was silent and although he felt rage and hatred within, he was mostly overcome with helplessness.
There was really nothing he could do about the Extreme Flame Saint Venerable.
What he didn’t understand was why Lu Hanyan was willing to head back with Jueyan.
The person beside him said with melancholy, “You don’t have to be like this. When your mother gave birth to you, she owed her grandfather a lot. Although she broke free, she has her own responsibilities and debts to pay. The Sky Burning Saint Emperor is a righteous person and shouldn’t have reached a stage where he was all alone and kicked off his throne. I am not only happy to see your mother go with that choice, but I am also glad that she did…”
Zong Shou frowned as he didn’t fully understand the grievances and kindness that his parents experienced.
Since Zong Shou was reassured by Zong Weiran that his mother had her reason for doing so, then she definitely a valid reason.
He just didn’t expect that the Sky Burning Saint Emperor Lu Beiwu would have such a high evaluation within Zong Weiran’s heart.
He sighed, turning around and looked beside him.
He hadn’t seen him for many years and his father was looking more and more handsome. His face had a few more tough lines, his body was still the same but had become more mountain-like.
His eyes looked like he had gone through the hardships of life. Although the current situation wasn’t good and he was trying his best to hide it, the awakened Blood Eyes ability could see through it all.
He bowed respectfully, saying in a sad tone, “Father, you have suffered! Son came too late…”
He knew Zong Weiran was just to the side and Lin Xuanshuang was waiting outside, which was why he wasn’t afraid of Tianqing Venerable.
With the World Burning Blood Eye, his combat strength within the Nine Extreme Death Jail could compare to Peak God Realm.
If he worked together with Zong Weiran, they would be able to battle Lu Tianqing.
However, at this moment, he also felt fortunate that the Saint Venerable acted in time.
Although the two of them had a chance of winning, but even if they did, Zong Weiran’s injuries would have gotten even worse.
He felt guilty. If his father had not given him the Book of Eon, would this have even happened?
A step to Saint Realm, if he had the book, then even in front of an End Realm, he would be able to escape.
“You saw it? Lu Family peak ability is really extraordinary!”
Zong Weiran laughed and then he shook his head, “However, I only hid here for 2 years, it isn’t much compared to your mother. However, all thanks to you, I could get out! Unknowingly, you have grown so much! Just now, you smacked Lu Tianqing into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, you looked really cool. I hated him for so long! However, to touch some Cause and Effect, was that appropriate?”
Zong Shou’s was a little startled, he felt a little awkward hearing these words.
The first few sentences displayed his father’s worry. His heart felt warm and he explained in response, “It is okay! If one owes too much, a little more is nothing, it is just a small matter.”
He too hated Lu Tianqing down to his very core and especially those Red Hummingbirds.
To be able to send that person to the Animal Path to be tortured for many lives was well worth the small price he paid.
Not to mention, how he unknowingly owed the Buddhist Faction a lot.
At most, he would help them when they wanted to create the true Blessed Land of Amitabha.
Just a little help! Not too much.
Zong Weiran laughed and looked forward with a profound expression. To have such a son, what more could he ask for?
He thought back to Lu Hanyan who had left with Jueyan and his face dimmed.
20 years had passed and although the two met, they didn’t even get to speak to one another.
The Sky Burning Saint Dynasty was turbulent and dangerous and she needed to deal with many outright and hidden problems.
His eyes flashed and he said solemnly, “Shou’er! It is okay to head over to the Saint Dynasty to help your mother and your great grandfather…”
Zong Shou was stunned, looking at Zong Weiran whose dimmed, “Although I am her husband, to the Lu Family I am an outsider, so I can’t interfere. Not only would I not help, but it would make her situation worse. You are the only one who can help her now!”
Zong Shou was silent when he heard this as he entered deep thought.
Return to the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty to become the top Prince? Wouldn’t that be what Jueyan wanted?
However, he really had no other choice.
Just as he was thinking about this, Zong Weiran turned toward the broken Nine Extreme Death Jail, his brow furrowing.
“Who are you? Why did you follow us and not leave this place.”
Only at this moment did he realize the aura was weird and he quickly became wary.
In the next instant, he saw a person step out from the void.
It was a middle-aged man. Although he was just wearing a prison uniform and brandishing a badly made sword, when he walked over he looked really majestic and cool, causing one’s heart to flutter.
Zong Shou studied the Sword Path in the last life and also focused on this.
He could sense the really sharp Sword Intent that was gathered on his brow.
“I am Yexuan, I was once called Dao Xiaoyao. 70 years ago, I failed and was trapped in the jail. Not long ago, Your Highness met me.”
Yexuan stood still a breath away and looked at Zong Shou with fervent eyes.
“Since Your Highness wants to head over to the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty, then you need helpers. Are you willing to accept a subject like me? The top Prince, Young Master of the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty can’t have too few subjects.”
The moment he said this, Zong Shou and Zong Weiran were both totally caught off guard.
Yexuan mocked himself, “Although the Nether Jail collapsed, there are still two End Realm Spiritual Senses locking down the place. If it was only Extreme Flame Saint Venerable, I would dare to try. However, along with Yanyuan, then I am really helpless. I have been trapped here for 70 years and I’m not willing to stay even for another moment. I can only ask for help from Young Master! I am not praising myself but before I entered the jail, no one under the Saint Realm could block one of my swords! I could even fight Venerable Tianqing! I will definitely be of some help for Young Master…”
The first few sentences were to remove their suspicion and the last few were intended to show off his skills. A Sword Intent also burst out to show that what he said was true.
Not only was Zong Weiran surprised, but Zong Shou’s brow also rose up. He felt slightly interested deep down.
He did see this person before! Right when he had just entered the Eighth Layer.
※※※※
Pretty much at the same time, millions of worlds away, the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty that was discussed by the Zong father and son was deathly silent.
Especially the area in front of the Ancestral Temple. Numerous Lu Family disciples were gathered here but it was totally silent. One could even hear the sound of a pin drop.
On one side, they were waiting for the Vital Energy changes on the Sky Burning Saint Plaque to settle down. On the other side, they were sucking and absorbing the Bloodline Retracement Power.
All of them were really focused and solemn whilst also slightly surprised.
The further away in the branch they were, the more joyous they were.
Normally speaking, those who were further away would receive fewer benefits than those of the direct bloodline.
However, when the Sky Burning Blood reached a certain thickness, then it would be extremely hard to raise it at all.
On the contrary, the weaker and thinner side bloodlines would have a proportionately larger improvement.
Which was why no one, be it the young or old, strong or weak, dared to be distracted for even a moment.
With Lu Yunge’s identity as Second Prince, he naturally didn’t need to mix with all these lowly disciples.
At this moment, he was not far from the plaque, within one of the buildings and looking down coldly.
“Keke! This Sky Burning Blood actually rose by a full grade, how rare, how rare! I heard that such a thing only happened 7,000 years ago when Yanyuan Saint Venerable passed his End Realm Tribulation to enter End Realm. There really is someone within the Lu Family that grasped the Lu Family World Burning Blood Eye…”
Behind Lu Yunge, Lu Daoyan also opened his eyes.
The Bloodline Retracement Power had also gotten close to the end.
He only needed to use some of his mind to deal with the remaining portions.
Lu Daoyan stood up and walked over to Lu Yunge’s side.
The moment he reached the side of the railing, he felt the Vital Energy within him move once more.
He was shocked and he instinctively exchanged glances with Lu Yunge, his heart was filled with shock…
Could it be? It still hadn’t ended?
No! Even when the few End Realm Experts of the family went through their tribulations, it wasn’t like this!
After the meridians moved, then everything calmed down.
There was only one possibility. The person had grasped the top ability of the Lu Family and had squeezed out all the potential!
Or maybe it was someone who was really close who also had signs of advancing who could also retrace to benefit the entire race!
Lu Daoyan’s eyes instantly turned dark. No matter what the case was, it would result in huge changes within the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty!
Lu Yunge’s expression didn’t change as if he didn’t sense anything at all.
Lu Daoyan’s brow rose up and he knew that there were only two possibilities.
The first was that Lu Yunge had noticed and was acting calm. The other was that the branch that mutated was far from him.
He wanted to laugh but his face didn’t reveal anything.
“Looking at the situation, the Saint Plaque is about to reveal things. The Prince rankings will probably change greatly. Who knows what your rank will be? You probably won’t be able to protect your identity as Second Prince…”
He said so with a mocking and gloating tone.
The Lu Family Prince rankings were based on five things; Bloodline, achievements, potential, strength, and closeness.
Lu Yunge was able to rank second due to his strength which was not bad. Secondly, he had a few Country Rulers supporting him.
Thirdly, his achievements over the years were the greatest within the Lu Family.
However, after this, who knows how many bloodlines would be improved?
On the contrary, this person stopped cultivating early and obviously didn’t gain much.
Naturally, out of all the Princes, he would be at the bottom.
