Chapter 70: Lu Chen's Ambition
Zhongli didn't speak, he also wanted to hear Lu Chen's explanation, if he wanted to use him to fight against the three major sects, he couldn't agree. Although he will destroy the Biyun Sect in the future, his teacher is famous, after all, he is a disciple of the Heavenly Fire Sect.
"Naturally not, Brother Zhongli and I have a gentleman's agreement. After Lu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Li and said sincerely: "Brother Zhong Li, since the words have been said to this point, I might as well open the skylight and say something!"
Zhongli didn't respond, just looked at him with the head of the Lu family, wanting to hear what shocking things he would say next.
"I know that everyone in the Lu family is staring at the position of the head of the family, and the side of the Lu family is grabbing me all the time, and even the family elders have been complaining about me. Lu Chen looked at the head of the Lu family and said.
"Actually, in the past few years in Qingming City, I haven't been doing nothing every day. On the contrary, I had already privately recruited a large number of casual cultivators for my use. β
The head of the Lu family didn't speak, but his brows furrowed deeper, it was impossible for him not to grasp Lu Chen's movements in Qingming City in the past few years, he had long known about Lu Chen's private recruitment of casual cultivators, if Lu Chen felt that recruiting some casual cultivators would have no one in his eyes and dare to compete with the three major sects, then he would be too disappointed.
"Let's get to the point!" the head of the Lu family said in a deep voice, he was now extremely disappointed in Lu Chen, and even decided to give up Lu Chen to become the next head of the family, at the moment he just wanted to hear how naΓ―ve his innocent son was.
"Of course, I know that the three major sects that can't compete with just some scattered cultivation, if they could, Fengzhou would not be the three major sects in charge now. Lu Chen first explained, he didn't mention Yanji City, because Yanji City had a transcendent status and was in charge of the entire Fengzhou, and he had not yet thought of replacing Yanji City.
"The point is, by coincidence, I happened to two major events in Sunset City. Lu Chen seemed to be quite excited, and looked at Zhongli with some excitement.
"Brother Zhongli, as I said, our Lu family will provide you with a steady stream of spirit stones for your cultivation in the future, and you have already seen my sincerity. I agreed with you to become an elder of my Lu family, and then when my Lu family lives and dies in the future, you can help me, do you remember?"
Zhongli nodded, Lu Chen helped him take a picture of the 'Thunder Nine Heavens' spiritual skill, he agreed to become the Elder of the Lu Family, but he didn't know why he mentioned this at the moment, but he didn't speak, he waited for Lu Chen to continue. Lu Chen saw Zhongli nodding, so he looked at the head of the Lu family and asked.
"Father, do you think that the first person in Fengzhou to cause the thunder tribulation in tens of thousands of years, if he doesn't die young, how likely is it that he will become a Venerable one day? Even if he can't become a Venerable, even if he is a strong person in the Xuanwu Realm, in this land of Fengzhou, he is also a powerful figure. If our Lu family has a guest elder from the Xuanwu Realm in charge in the future, why can't we deter Xiao Xiao, this is one of them. β
Hearing this, the head of the Lu family looked at Zhongli and thought about it seriously, with Zhongli's age and his perverted talent to cause the Thunder Tribulation, the Xuanwu Realm should be a sure thing, it was only a matter of time.
As for Venerable, only the Earth Martial Realm and the Heavenly Martial Realm can be called Venerable, how difficult it is, it is not enough to have no talent, and there is still an opportunity. But what Lu Chen said was right, this is indeed a good investment, he thought to himself, even if he gave up Lu Chen to become the head of the family, he would have to carry on this investment. But at this moment, he became interested, bowed slightly, and motioned for him to continue.
Lu Chen looked at Zhong Li and asked, "Brother Zhong Li still remembers the woman in Tsing Yi who rescued you when Shangguan Yaowen attacked you yesterday, didn't you hear Deacon Su call her Special Envoy Ning?" β
"I'll tell you now, she is the envoy of Yanji City that I met when I went to Sunset City that day, I met with her, and my Lu family was fortunate enough to be requisitioned by Yanji City to deal with the aftermath of Sunset City, so I learned the purpose of Special Envoy Ning's stay in Qingming City this time. In order to find out the demon cultivator who slaughtered the city, Envoy Ning suspected that he had come to Qingming City, and recently, there were indeed many scattered cultivators in Qingming City who had disappeared recently, and all kinds of signs showed that the demon cultivator might indeed be hiding in this Qingming City. β
"Demon cultivators are punished by everyone, my Lu family will participate in it, contribute a little bit of effort, and help Special Envoy Ning find out that demon cultivator, although the contribution will not be too big, but I will let Yanji City see my Lu family's attitude! This is the second. β
The head of the Lu family frowned again, he would not agree to Lu Chen's plan, and would never allow the Lu family to be in danger, the matter of arresting the demon cultivator was naturally the first to be borne by Yanji City, and the three major sects cooperated, the Lu family was just doing business to earn spirit stones, what was the use of asking for that reputation, but as soon as he wanted to speak, Lu Chen interrupted him.
"And thirdly, the Heavenly Fall Golden Essence is a good thing, but do you think the Divine Sword Sect can hold it in your hand so securely?" Lu Chen let out a sneer, which was meaningful.
Zhongli frowned, he felt as if he was really being used. Sure enough, Lu Chen's next words made him extremely unhappy, and even a little angry.
"Actually, even if Brother Zhongli didn't open his mouth to borrow that spirit stone from me to Deacon Su yesterday, I would have found an excuse to lend the spirit stone. Lu Chen sneered and then continued: "Because the Heavenly Meteor Gold Essence is what I entrusted someone to the auction house to auction, and my purpose can only be for the Divine Sword Sect to obtain this Heavenly Meteor Gold Essence!"
"What!" The head of the Lu family was completely furious, and he slapped the table and said, "Do you know how high the seller of the Divine Soldier who joins the Heavenly Fall Golden Essence will be? What a lot of income it will be, you actually sold the raw materials like this!"
The head of the Lu family was very angry, if Lu Chen didn't give a reasonable explanation, he would even have the urge to kill this rebel himself. Zhongli was also very angry, he felt that he was really being used, and Lu Chen at this moment was a little sinister and terrifying.
Lu Chen saw that the two of them were so angry, but he was not in a hurry, and said lightly: "First of all, such a large piece of Heavenly Meteorite Gold Essence was also purchased by me personally, and it has nothing to do with the family. Secondly, if I didn't auction off the Heavenly Falling Gold Essence, how could I implement my plan? The appearance of such a large piece of Heavenly Falling Gold Essence would naturally be impossible for the Divine Sword Sect to miss as a sword refining sect of the entire sect. If the Divine Sword Sect obtains it, the strength of the entire sect will be qualitatively improved. β
"But how can the Biyun Sect and the Hengdao Sect allow the Divine Sword Sect to dominate in the future, then the result of the Divine Sword Sect getting the Heavenly Falling Golden Essence will only be for the two sects to join forces to fight, presumably now the two sects have begun to plot how to snatch this Heavenly Falling Golden Essence. Lu Chen sneered again and again, and did not continue, neither of them was stupid, at this moment they completely understood Lu Chen's thoughts, and also saw how big his ambition was.
One is against him Zhongli, it belongs to Yang Mou, even if he says it in front of him, he has no way to be angry, he really needs the support of the Lu family, he has seen the role of the spirit stone in the auction, he now belongs to the loose cultivation one, without the spirit stone, he will not be able to move an inch, and he will not be able to do evil cultivation in the future, it will cause public anger, and even someone from Yanji City will deal with him.
The second is to show the justice of the Lu family, not only to Yanji City, but also to all the monks in the land of Fengzhou. In the future, Zhongli will become a powerhouse in the Xuanwu Realm, so the Lu family, who has such a realm of Elder Keqing, can justifiably apply to the name of Yanji City to establish a sect!
The third is a conspiracy, he threw out the Heavenly Meteorite Golden Essence, to make the three major sects completely stand on the opposite side and consume each other's strength, even if the Lu family suddenly rises in the future, it will not attract the tacit agreement between the three major sects to suppress, but to win over and become a help. After all, the Heavenly Fire Sect that had been inherited for 10,000 years had all been destroyed, and the three major sects would never want to become the next Heavenly Fire Sect.
