Divine Brilliance

Within a narrow small world, right beside the shore of a floating island.

Aokun was frozen in a block of ice, unable to move. He could only casually use his Spiritual Sense to control the chessboard in front of him.

Moments later, a white shadow appeared beside him.

“Why are you back so quickly?”

Aokun’s face was filled with shock. Unfortunately, his eyes were blind and he couldn’t see the expression on Aoyi’s face.

“What happened?”

“There is already no need to go over!”

Aoyi walked behind Aokun. When her hands touched that piece of Xuan Ice, the entire ice layer melted.

“Cangyan Hall people interfered. That newly appointed Head is really amazing. At just Initial Saint Realm, he managed to block me.”

“Cangyan Saint Hall, Lu Family?”

Aokun’s brow rose up. Sky Burning Lu Family had 6 Saint Halls. The Cangyan Saint Hall was one of them!

Naturally, he didn’t think that Aoyi would be weaker than him.

Most probably because she had to heal him and was worried, so she wasn’t willing to fight him and risk injuring herself.

Threads of cold Dragon Power injected into his body. It was cold but not ice-cold, it was extremely comfortable. Using the Destruction Dao, it caused his self-inflicted injuries to slowly heal, bit by bit.

He had healed up for several months. Aoyi personally pulled him back from the brink of death.

 Three days ago, his consciousness was still at a loss and he might have died at any moment. However, today he was already able to talk freely.

“Of course, it is the Lu Family. I heard that your brother is the only child of the Lu Family? This newly appointed Head is called Fangjue and was the main servant of his Mother.”

She explained impassively, her eyes filled with a weird expression.

“I think this person wouldn’t do anything to your Brother. This concerns the Lu Family, so I can’t interfere. Looking at his intentions, he probably wants your Brother to fight for the position of Lu Family Head.”

“Oh? Lu Family Head?”

Aokun’s expression was also filled with disbelief which was followed shortly after with enlightenment.

“Speaking of which, my god Brother does have the rights! He just needs to return and which one of those disciples could fight with him? However, that fellow probably wouldn’t be willing…”

He didn’t even bother with the Gantian Mountain legacy his Father left him.

Why would he want to step into the huge swamp which was the Lu Family?

Sky Burning Lu Family didn’t only rule 800 worlds now. Their strength could be listed in the top three within the region.

A family who was able to suppress all the races alone, they were definitely strong.

They were the most noble and famous family, the most powerful in this region.

Although the race was powerful, there were many internal squabbles.

If Zong Shou was wrapped up within, then he would have to spend huge amounts of time and effort, going through huge amounts of risk to be able to stand at the top of that pyramid. Either that or he was going to be crushed into pieces by the hidden currents within the Lu Family!

This was totally different from what that fellow always chased for.

Since the start, he only worried about the pinnacle of the Sword Path and didn’t care much about anything else.

Even if he had to rule his country, he did so in a really casual manner. It was okay if it was in place and best if he didn’t need to personally interfere. That was his personality…

This fellow couldn’t be saved by any medicine.

“Interesting! Zong Shou’s mother’s old forces are actually able to climb so high up to the position of Cangyan Hall Head, to hold one of the 6 Saint Halls. Does the one currently in charge of Lu Family have intentions or not? Wasn’t the current generation Head already in secluded mediation?”

There was no one who replied to this. Aokun thought about it and knew that Aoyi didn’t bother and wasn’t in the mood to discuss this matter. He smiled, “Your chess game is so weird. Your opponent seems really clumsy, but why was he the one to win in the end?”

“Who said he won? This person is Common People’s Path Wei Xu, he loves to be cunning and cheat. He placed two pieces when I wasn’t looking!”

Aoyi glanced at the chessboard, then she focused on healing him and wasn’t distracted for even a moment.

Only then she noticed that the chessboard was the same as months ago, even the locations of the pieces were the same. There were only two more. Then, he asked curiously, “How did you know that I was the white piece?”

“The pond…”

Aokun smiled and explained, his Spiritual Sense swept across the chess piece urn as well as the lake water. “That Extreme Flame True Water! You spent these years trapped in Extreme Flame True Water?”

Aoyi kept silent and didn’t reply. What else could she do?

She was filled with love, but in the end, she was only heartbroken. She was prepared to hide in another world to congratulate her sister and the man she loved to be blessed forever, never to leave one another.

Who knew that she would hear such shocking news? She wanted to save him, but her strength wasn’t enough.

She could only lock herself here and focus on the Dao, in hopes that one day she would be of some help. Even if she was able to pull him up a little, that would be good enough.

After a short period of silence, Aoyi laughed.

“Why talk about all this, it is great that you are out now! I am really happy these days…”

Aokun was stunned and then he sighed.

Unfortunately, he had lost his eyes and couldn’t see her smile. She would be extremely beautiful…

Even if one was Saint Realm, not having eyes made it really inconvenient.

Following this, he came back to his senses and thought about Zong Shou. That fellow was probably in a pickle.

Future Master of 800 worlds? This was a road filled with thorns!

※※※※

Within the Dragon Hall space, Zong Shou was looking forward, at a total loss.

Even if he had gone through numerous storms and hardships, reaching a state where he was unfazed by anything, no matter what changes occurred, he was able to calm himself down and keep composed.

However, when a Saint Realm expert suddenly walked to him and called him Master and bowed, he felt totally shocked and caught off guard.

Lu Family Young Master? He did have Lu Family blood in him, but he really didn’t have much relationship with them, in fact he was even their enemy. Why would he have anything to do with being their Young Master?

Ye Feishuang and Ye Feihan behind him were even more shocked, then their expressions became weird.

No wonder Zong Shou didn’t care about Young Master Mingyue.

If he was the future Head of the Lu Family, then be it Su Mingyue or Juelong Celestial Region, they were nothing in front of him!

Zong Shou was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, his brow furrowed.

“Sir, you are the Head of the Cangyan Saint Hall right? Did you get the greeting wrong?”

His tone was really cold and filled with a distancing intent.

“Please rise up! I am Great Gan Ruler Zong Shou of the Zong Family. I don’t have anything to do with your Lu Family, please don’t let people misunderstand…”

“Young Master, if Miss Hanyan hears that she would be extremely sad! Doesn’t your body have our Lu Family Sky Burning blood? Or you aren’t willing to admit it?”

The Cangyan Saint Hall Head laughed, not worrying at all, “My surname is Fang and my name is Jue, I followed Old Master and Little Miss for many years. Young Master can just call me by my name.”

Zong Shou stopped breathing and then he shook his head, “I remember that my Mother is a Lu Family sinner, who knows where you all locked her up? Why would I have anything to do with your Lu Family…”

Before he said these words, the people around had surprised expressions on their faces.

So, Zong Shou was actually the Son of the woman who was once the direct descendant of the Lu Family.

They had heard about the situation within the Lu Family that year.

Decades ago, for some reason there was a huge change in the Lu Family. The daughter who had a chance to inherit the 800 worlds was punished and convicted. The current Lu Family Head’s power was also greatly reduced because of this.

It was said that in the end he went into secluded meditation due to rage and stopped bothering with such matters.

Since he was the son of a convict, then his relationship with the Lu Family was naturally not what they imagined.

Probably only the old forces of that woman called him Young Master in private, it wasn’t really an official title.

However, since he was a bastard, then they didn’t need to care much…

They relaxed. As long as they didn’t offend the real Lu Family, then they still stood a chance to live.

Zong Shou’s voice was broken by Fangjue, “Young Master, since I am the Cangyan Hall Head, I naturally follow the rules! Why would I do whatever I want? How would I dare to be so casual with my greetings?”

He lowered his head and his lips curled, “However, I can’t blame Young Master for not knowing. Half a month ago, my Lu Family core had already placed your name into the Ancestral Temple, into the Direct Bloodline Book. Out of the 37 people, you are thirteenth. 4 days from now would be when we pray to the Ancestors. Not long later, many worlds will know about it!”

After he said these words, the Dragon Hall space was deathly silent.

Then, there was a heavy thud; Mingyu had lost his control and smashed the railing that he was holding.

The official successor of the Lu Family was totally different from the private calling of Young Master by old forces.

Being listed within the Direct Bloodline Book meant that even if he couldn’t get the position of Head of Lu Family, he would still be the Master of dozens of worlds.

Different from people like Cruel Sun Sword Saint who was the Master of one world, his worlds would be rich with resources and were at least medium-sized worlds!

No matter how the Lu Family fought within themselves, they held themselves with honor on the outside and were united. They wouldn’t let others insult and humiliate them…

He only felt his heart go numb, fear surging over into their heads.

He felt like there were 10,000 ants biting his heart, he had never felt so much regret in his life.

Why did he think about making this trip? Why did he stand up for these people? Why was his mouth so sharp?

If none of this had happened, then nothing would have occured.

Even that God Realm Cultivator, Su Rang’s face was ashen white. He couldn’t hold himself up anymore as he sat paralyzed on the ground.

His eyes were in a daze like he was thinking about something.

Everyone glanced at them before looking away.

Apart from Li Fengfei, most of them didn’t show much pity and didn’t worry about them.

That was because their situations were similar. Since the Baijue Su Family was in such a situation, what about them?
