Chapter 1090: Chapter 475: Righteous and Unafraid of Death
Zheng Fa had not yet spoken when light footsteps ca from inside the room.
It seed he had underestimated Luo Yun—she seed to have a way to break through the Sound Insulation Spirit Talisman and was eavesdropping.
It must have been because she heard Shi Nandang speak just now, she couldn’t hold back her excitent and took a few steps closer, only then was she discovered by Zheng Fa.
On the faces of Shi Nandang and the other three, there was no change of expression, they rely watched Zheng Fa, seemingly waiting for his response.
“Master, if restoring the Gu God ans sacrificing the whole of Haori Mountain?”
Shi Nandang’s face twitched slightly, but he replied firmly, “Then it must be done.”
Zheng Fa fell silent, feeling as though even if he did nothing, these people could still target him to death.
Seeing him not utter a word, another elder of the Lu Clan spoke righteously, “With the Saint Ancestor’s condition unknown and the Jiushan Sect eyeing us covetously, we need the protection of the Gu God, and besides, if we can’t get the Saint Ancestor’s relics, we will surely die!”
“The people from the two clans have received great favor from the sect, now is the ti to show their loyalty!”
From the inner chamber ca a loud pounding against the wall. Zheng Fa smirked inwardly, though his face remained stern: “But they are our fellow disciples.”
“Are you unwilling?”
“I truly cannot bear it.”
Shi Nandang let out a sigh, his long sleeve sweeping across the table.
A strange, eerie statuette appeared on the table before him, made of black stone, its main form a throne adorned with engravings of various Gu insects on its base, back, and armrests.
Seated on the throne was the Gu God, her eyes seemingly alive, staring at Zheng Fa.
“This is…”
“You and I have been master and disciple…” Shi Nandang lowered his head to gaze at the statue, speaking nonchalantly, “I truly do not wish for you to die at the hands of the Gu God.”
“…”
The statue exuded a strange aura, quite sinister. It seed that the reliance of the four from the Lu Clan was this object.
Zheng Fa was unafraid; he had fought a living Gu God, why fear a lifeless one?
Yet his eyes revealed a hint of shock and anger: “Master, are you threatening ?”
“Of course not, I just hope you find your way back, after all, you are my disciple. Changing your surna to Lu isn’t out of the question in the future.”
Though Shi Nandang claid it was not a threat, his eyes conveyed the opposite intention.
A Lu Clan elder beside him was far more candid: “The Gu God definitely needs blood sacrifices; if not them, then it’s you!”
“This is granted by the Gu God, its power extraordinary, now on Haori Mountain, no one can resist. If you persist in defiance, don’t fault our Lu Clan for being ruthless.”
Zheng Fa considered the Gu God statue for a long ti before saying, “… Disciples understand.”
Seeing his tone softening, Shi Nandang nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and walked out. As he reached the door, he abruptly stopped and turned back to say:
“Both Luo Yun and that Yun Clan Xianghao of yours will naturally be yours once things succeed.”
Zheng Fa remained silent, and Luo Yun slowly erged.
She was neatly dressed, her deanor cold as she looked at Zheng Fa.
They remained silent for a long ti before Luo Yun suddenly spoke: “Master Shi, when the day cos, disciple only wishes for a swift death.”
After speaking, she did not wait for Zheng Fa to reply and decisively left, seemingly believing that with the Lu Clan’s assistance from the Gu God, Shi Nandang’s choice no longer mattered.
Zheng Fa watched Luo Yun leave. He appreciated her more, not for her unclothed appearance but rather for her now.
In contrast, the situation with the Lu Clan gave him so thoughts—these people were really deluding themselves.
He didn’t know who gave them the courage to play mind gas with three True Immortal Demon Ancestors; to be honest, Zheng Fa dared not enter Nine Luminaries Heaven because he dreaded these three.
Now the Lu Clan truly dared; though they had so ans, it was a desperate act akin to retrieving chestnuts from the fire.
However, Zheng Fa was very interested in their thods…
Shi Nandang and the other three were silent all the way until they arrived in front of their cave abode. Only then did soone speak: “Now you’ve offended your beloved disciple.”
“Beloved disciple?” Shi Nandang sneered, “He doesn’t even bear the Lu surna, nor does he possess our Lu Clan bloodline!”
“You really are willing to do so.”
Shi Nandang chuckled again and said, “This child’s heart is no longer aligned with ours, but his strength is indeed extraordinary, even I, as his master, cannot fathom it. It’s just right to use him to balance the Gu God.”
ntioning the Gu God, the other three also wore grim expressions, one muttered lowly, “The Gu God is a bit too greedy. Doesn’t needing this much blood sacrifice interfere with our great undertaking?”
“That’s why we need to leverage Shi Nandang’s power to make the two clans submit and sustain the Gu God,” Shi Nandang explained. “As for Nandang, he is a lone figure, his strength incomparable to the Gu God, not worth worrying about, dealt with in due ti.”
…
“You wish to utilize the Lu Clan’s ans to deal with Creation and White Bone?”
Within the Jiushan Realm, Senior Sister Zhang and others listened to the account of the Heavenly Emperor Body, exchanging bewildered looks.
“Exactly.” The Heavenly Emperor Body nodded, “Entering Nine Luminaries Heaven is too risky, but since the Lu Clan is so confident, they must be holding sothing crucial.”
The Heavenly Palace hall exchanged glances and slightly nodded.
The Lu Clan, after all, was the heritage of Lu Yao, the oldest clan on Haori Mountain, with Nine Luminaries Heaven being their clan’s Holy Land.
It was normal for them to have so trump cards.
Senior Sister Zhang pondered, “The Lu Clan’s strength is weak, this item should hold considerable power…”
This echoed Zheng Fa’s thoughts, the Lu Clan might be mad, risking their lives like this, perhaps they did have sothing substantial.
In the hands of the Lu Clan weaklings, it might not amount to much.
But if Zheng Fa could use it, it would enhance his power significantly.
“On the other hand, the body also fears that the Lu Clan might create trouble after I enter Nine Luminaries Heaven.” The Heavenly Emperor Body outlined Zheng Fa’s second concern, “At the very least, understanding their thods to prevent them is necessary.”
