Divine Brilliance

Lu Family didn’t prohibit people of the same race from marrying, but they prohibited people from the same family.

As Lu Yunge was quite distantly related to Lu Hanyan, he was chosen as her husband.

However, at this moment, this also meant that he would receive the least benefits.

Lu Yunge didn’t bother, not only wasn’t he furious, he laughed instead, “Why do you need to worry about my ranking? Moreover…”

He paused and he glanced coldly over.

“Even if your position can exceed mine, can you sit stably at your position?”

Lu Daoyan’s brow rose up. He felt like the cold gaze was like a knife that stabbed right into his mind.

It felt like it had taken physical form and made his heart feel like it was sliced into pieces.

He stared solemnly for a moment before Lu Yunge’s gaze became gentler.

“Let’s hope you don’t meet with some accident when you head out someday and get killed by someone! Brother Daoyan should be used to such things, after all how many direct bloodline disciples of the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty fell over the 100 years?”

Lu Daoyan’s heart jumped and then he was filled with rage.

“You dare to speak to me like this!”

Those words were a naked and obvious threat.

However, before he could chide him, Lu Yunge’s cold laugh once again interrupted him.

“You were the one with the most hope in the past, but now you can’t even keep your top-five spot. I know you are angry and unwilling to lose to me, but if you want to point the blame, then blame your bloodline for being too weak and having a bitch like Lu Hanyan!”

Lu Daoyan felt frustration in his chest as his eyes turned red. He felt all the grievances and hatred accumulated in his chest.

Lu Yunge didn’t want to let him off just like that, saying flatly, “Cousin Daoyan, since you are a dog who lost its home, then you should be more well behaved and stop barking. You must know that there is a limit to one’s patience. Who knows, I might be angry one day and kill this ownerless dog for some silence. Does that make sense?”

He continued, “It is tough for you to maintain your position. Just don’t come and offend me. To be more direct, I can just order a subject to kill you and who in this Saint Dynasty can blame me? The Sky Burning Saint Emperor who is about to be kicked? That’s right, he is the only person you can rely on. However, he couldn’t even protect his own granddaughter, so how can he protect you?”

Lu Daoyan’s body shivered, his first turned green and he was unable to speak.

Lu Yunge laughed arrogantly.

If there was a day when he could become the Saint Emperor and grasp power, he would use all his strength to ensure that the Lu Beiwu bloodline would never see the light of day!

He would definitely torture Hanyan, that bitch, to death!

He only thought about such things in his heart but didn’t say them out loud and he also couldn’t say them to other people.

In the next moment, his heart moved and he looked below.

At this moment, there were numerous people who were looking toward the stone plaque.

The light around the Sky Burning Saint Plaque dimmed, the red color that flowed within started to firm up and many words appeared at the bottom of the stone.

His heart instantly twitched. No matter how shrewd one was, one would still feel nervous.

Actually, just now he shouldn’t have said those words to Lu Daoyan. He didn’t need to worry about that person mocking him.

However, for some reason, since he knew that someone could advance to the purest Lu Family bloodline, he felt really anxious and uneasy.

He felt like this matter was really weird. He headed around but was unable to find out who the person that rose up and owned the Sky Burning pure blood was.

Before this, there were no signs and he had never heard about such a talented person within the race.

He couldn’t have just popped out from stone right?

He had many thoughts and questions but he didn’t have any answers. Lu Yunge shook his head and continued to look at the stone plaque.

At this moment, the first name appeared on the stone.

“Lu Xichen?”

Lu Yunge muttered and then he frowned.

This name was slightly foreign and wasn’t one of the original 49 Princes!

The names that appeared next were all names that he had never been seen before.

Although there were some that he had heard of, their talents and achievements weren’t good enough to be listed among the Princes.

Was it due to this Bloodline Retracement?

Lu Daoyan calmed down and laughed silently, “The choices for princes are a little huge, they far exceeds 49. Such a prosperous scene probably only happened 7,000 years ago. It seems like Country Ruler Xuanhua and cousin is going to be busy in the future.”

Lu Yunge understood what he meant, his expression was also really cold.

In the past, when there were fewer choices, the Country Rulers and the Elders could suppress things.

The future Sky Burning Saint Emperor and the 8 Country Rulers could be manipulated.

However, now that there were more competitors it was going to be a little problematic.

As long as one was a member of the Lu Sky Burning family who wouldn’t be ambitious?

To be able to be listed as a Prince, one definitely had some connection and status within the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty.

Probably after today, the Saint Dynasty was going to have a new reshuffling to confirm things.

Out of the previous 9 Princes, the one who held the most unstable position was Lu Daoyan.

He was the most likely to be kicked down. To think he actually had the heart to provoke him now?

How funny! How unbelievable.

As for him, his work over 20 years already solidified his position. There were already 6-7 Saint Realm Elders who he could get help from.

It wasn’t something those new people could shake.

He was too lazy to reply and continued to look, only to see that 60 names appeared and then finally someone familiar materialized.

“There aren’t 77 but 108?”

The moment such a thought rose up, Lu Yunge felt that it wasn’t right.

But he couldn’t seem to put his finger on what exactly was wrong.

Lu Daoyan’s body was tightly clenched, his fists were held together like he was controlling his emotions.

He noticed something…

Lu Yunge wasn’t willing to ask this person and just kept silent.

At this moment, the entire building was filled with a loud discussion noise. All of them were shocked by the changes in Prince choices.

Apart from the new additions, there weren’t many changes.

The few remaining direct bloodline disciples received roughly the same benefits from the Bloodline Retracement.

Moments later, the blood on the stone plaque rose to the top.

At this moment, everyone knew that the crucial moment had arrived. It was time for the top 9 Princes to be revealed. They all held their breaths and everyone became silent.

Even Lu Yunge and Lu Daoyan were fully focused and both had nervous expressions on their faces.

“Lu Junyu, Lu Gaoge, Lu Mingyang…”

When he looked at the few names appear, Lu Yunge was stunned.

How did this happen?

To him, even if someone rose up and snatched the top spot, then the previous 9 would just drop down accordingly and move a position down.

However, at this moment, there were two people who missed out and weren’t among the 9 Princes.

At this moment, a buzz spread out around the Ancestral Temple.

Many strong auras rushed over, several strong Spiritual Senses spread throughout the sky.

In the surrounding buildings, anyone who had the ability to get a spot in these buildings, all stood up suddenly as their eyes filled with disbelief.

Lu Yunge gritted his teeth.

Many thoughts, many guesses flashed in his mind but it was all okay.

Seventh, sixth…

Another two names appeared on it.

Lu Yunge’s name was a big surprise.

Why wasn’t Lu Daoyan in this sixth or seventh? Was this fellow not even on the list?

From the corner of his eyes, he saw the pleased smile on his face.

Why was he so gleeful?

Just as Lu Yunge had many questions that he couldn’t solve, he saw a name appear on the stone plaque.

“Lu Yunge…”

He was slightly distracted and his eyes were filled with shock.

Why was he fifth?

Even if he dropped by two, he would be fourth, why was he fifth?

His gaze was like a knife, he really wanted to smash the stone plaque. However, he saw that the three words ‘Lu Dao Yan’ appeared above his.

He was stunned once more and he gritted his teeth.

This trash, what kind of ability did he have? He directly jumped past three people and was above him.

“Cousin Yunge! I don’t know whether you noticed but the people whose positions rose up were mostly the descendants of Yanyuan Saint Venerable?”

Lu Daoyan’s voice rang out once more, but it wasn’t filled with the hatred and grievances from before.

“Among those new Prince choices, my Yanyuan Bloodline took up 30% of it! The rest were all people really close to the Sky Burning Saint Emperor.”

Lu Yunge didn’t understand at first, but then his pupils suddenly constricted.

That was really true! Looking at the names on the plaque, it was just as Lu Daoyan said!

No wonder he felt that things were a little weird.

A weird color flashed in his eyes as he suppressed that shock and killing intent rose in his heart.

So what? He just had to spend a little more effort. How could he allow the Lu Beiwu bloodline to rise up?

Country Ruler Xuanhua also badly offended him, so he wouldn’t sit still and do nothing!

Lu Daoyan laughed, “Do you know what this means? Even if the person who has the World Burning Blood Eyes isn’t Yanyuan Saint Venerable’s descendant, he must be really close…”

Just as he said this, the third-ranked Prince name showed up. It was Lu Huanxiao.

Looking at this name, the two of them weren’t surprised. He originally held the top spot.

They became more and more curious about the remaining two.

In just a thousandth of a breath, a name formed on the Saint Plaque.

Lu Hanyan…

The moment this name appeared, Lu Yunge felt his heart jump. He crushed the railing in front of him with his palm.

How was she the second position?
