Chapter 907: Chapter 386: Clearing Doubts
Seeing the imnse anger of the Family Head of the Suo Family, the Luo Family Head hurriedly placated him, saying, “Yes, yes, you are the most capable. You will definitely be able to defend Weyang City. I have no doubt about you.”
Upon hearing this, the Suo Family Head’s expression softened a bit, and then he glanced at Lu Hong beside him, saying, “Have we perhaps talked a little too much today?”
“It’s alright.” The Dukeesa Family Patriarch smiled and said, “Since I invited him, there’s no need to restrict today’s discussions.”
“I wonder what wicked sches you, old man, are up to again. Although he’s powerful, war is no child’s play. A strong person like him is destined to be targeted and even plotted against for assassination. Frankly, I doubt he can survive the stabilization period of the dynasty.”
Having said that, the Suo Family Head imdiately stood up and said, “Alright, it’s late. I don’t like staying up all night. I’m going to sleep.”
Ignoring whether the other two had more to say, he waved them off and left.
Watching his figure disappear from the room, the Luo Family Head shook his head with annoyance, saying, “Old Suo still has that temper and hasn’t changed all his life.”
“Indeed!” The Dukeesa Family Patriarch also reminisced about the past glorious years, and couldn’t help but feel emotional, “If he could change that temper, we wouldn’t have the current situation of the three families holding each other in check.”
“That’s true.” The Luo Family Head agreed wholeheartedly, “In that case, it’s better if he doesn’t change.”
Having said that, the Luo Family Head also stood up, tidying his wrinkled clothes, “Since Old Suo has left, I shall take my leave as well.”
Watching the Luo Family Head leave, the Dukeesa Family Patriarch then turned his gaze to Lu Hong, smiling, “What do you think?”
Opinions, opinions, damn it, always asking for opinions.
Lu Hong rolled his eyes and shook his head, “I have no opinion.”
“Hehe.” The Dukeesa Family Patriarch didn’t comnt, “Then let’s presu you have none.”
After a pause, the Dukeesa Family Patriarch continued, “Old Suo is a very self-important person. Back then, when the Tian Sheng, Dukeesa, Luo, and Suo families competed for dominance over the Sky Domain, fierce battles erupted. Old Suo was the strongest military strategist among us, originally turning the chaotic four-family battle into a one-on-three. If Old Suo had had a better attitude towards my Dukeesa family, he might have destroyed the Luo and Tian Sheng families four hundred years ago. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant, too proud to even bow slightly, and didn’t accept my Dukeesa family’s olive branch, so the Suo family lost. After defeating the Suo family, our three families also suffered significant damage, and to prevent other Sky Domain families from encroaching, we waved them off together. But no matter what, Old Suo is currently the strongest military master under the heavens, holding the position of Grand Marshal among the three officials.”
Listening to the recollections of the Dukeesa Family Patriarch, Lu Hong asked, “I fail to see what this has to do with ?”
“Haha, of course, it has nothing to do with you. When you get old, you tend to reminisce aimlessly.” The Dukeesa Family Patriarch waved it off and then added, “Alright, old fellow, I won’t ramble aimlessly with you. I called you here this ti hoping you will have good prospects in the future.”
At these words, Lu Hong raised an eyebrow, “Patriarch, I didn’t think I was part of your Dukeesa family, was I?”
“But you are Lando’s husband, aren’t you? You caused such a stir in Weyang City, and now you want to disown it?”
“No, I am Lando’s husband, at most considered your Dukeesa family’s half-son-in-law. I believe your family has many sons-in-law like , right? You don’t lack , so why specifically support ? Is it purely because you value my strength?”
The Dukeesa Family Patriarch nodded slightly, “That is part of the reason, but it is not the main reason.”
“Then what is the main reason? I have received such benevolence these days that it makes so dubious; is it real, or just a beautifully woven dream of lies?”
Lu Hong’s words were sharp, and they laid bare the facts.
In response, the Dukeesa Family Patriarch rely sighed before saying, “I’ll tell you a story. Listen, and if you still have questions after, then ask .”
“I am all ears.” Lu Hong replied respectfully.
The Dukeesa Family Patriarch nodded and continued, “Do you know why the Sky Domain is the most enriched with Spiritual Energy and abundant in resources? Actually, towards the end of the so-called Ancient Era, there was also an extrely special period, known as the Beast Extinction Era. During that ti, all Human Race, Spirit Race (a collective term for other races), were engaged in one thing, to kill the darlings of the world—the Primordial mutant beast race. After those primordial mutant beasts were slain, their blood and souls would feedback to the realm, and my Dukeesa family originated from that period. Our ancestor killed a primordial mutant beast—Lion Poor, and absorbed the powerful energy within Lion Poor, gradually establishing the Dukeesa family that stands gloriously to this day. Furthermore, the Dukeesa family is the longest-lasting extended family under the heavens. As the Beast Extinction Era passed, the Dukeesa family gradually flourished, the heavens began to evolve on their own, continuously expanding new territories, and evolving into various barren worlds.
The ancestors of the Dukeesa family were very curious about this evolution, so the then Dukeesa Family Patriarch embarked on this journey with all the main bloodlines of the family, a journey with no way back. And no Dukeesa Family Patriarch in generations after that, including myself, gave up on finding the main bloodline.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Hong’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Are you saying, Lando and Lock Fan are the main bloodline of your Dukeesa family?!”
“Yes.” The Dukeesa Family Patriarch said solemnly, “They are the last main bloodline of my Dukeesa family. Unfortunately, the main bloodline seed to have lost the power of this bloodline at so undetermined point.”
With that, the Dukeesa Family Patriarch’s gaze locked onto Lu Hong, “Now…do you…understand?”
Lu Hong nodded, “I understand.”
“Although the Dukeesa family no longer requires the main bloodline, they ultimately carry an irreplaceable bloodline of my Dukeesa family.”
Now the doubts in Lu Hong’s heart were erased; perhaps, he is the Dukeesa Family Patriarch’s way of making ands to the main bloodline!
It seems that he has indeed benefited from Lando.
No longer staying, Lu Hong stood up to bid farewell, leaving the Dukeesa Family estate.
Lu Hong did not bring up the Shatterworld Artifact, because when he ca in, he saw a few big words written on the desk—Shatterworld Artifact, and a large question mark behind it, indicating that the three old folks had already discussed it before he arrived.
As ti passed bit by bit, the atmosphere of Weyang City beca increasingly tense, with nurous armies of iron hoofed soldiers receiving orders to march to the outskirts of Weyang. At this mont, no entry or exit was allowed through Weyang.
Accompanied by a strong roar, Lu Hong felt the power within him continually weakening, his strength dropping by almost ninety percent. It seems that the grand array hosted by the Hua Family was completed, suppressing Lu Hong’s God Realm back to the Third Transition Peak.
However, even so, he was still one hundred percent confident in crushing Luo Jinhong and his so-called genius peers.
Knock, knock, knock, ca the sound of knocking on the door.
Lu Hong opened the door, finding a squad of soldiers standing in front, who bowed upon seeing Lu Hong, “By order of the Grand Marshal, please escort General Lu to Chengtian Hall.”
Lu Hong nodded, “Lead the way.”
Chengtian Hall was located in the center of Weyang, originally the most prosperous comrcial area, but at so unknown point, a splendid palace towered there, probably the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace had long been surrounded by strong military guards.
The soldiers took out a Token, which was strictly inspected before the road was cleared for Lu Hong to enter.
Upon entering Chengtian Hall, the vast palace interior was already thronged with people.
Whether in groups of three and five or running about for communication.
In and out, it almost seed like a marketplace.
At this mont, Hua Xingyun ca over to Lu Hong, smiling, “Brother Lu, would you like to et so friends?”
Lu Hong looked at Hua Xingyun, whom he hadn’t seen for a long ti, and smiled, “Made a lot of money?”
Hua Xingyun was initially stunned, then caught on and smiled, “The Hua family temple is small and cannot house a deity like Brother Lu. Just by chance, there are people asking for your whereabouts. Our Hua family is in business, so Brother Lu should understand this, right?”
“I understand, just give half.” Lu Hong originally had no desires for money or anything, but Lando was really quite a spender. After going shopping with Lai Li seven tis, she had squandered half of the fortune given by Nuoshan to Lu Hong. At this rate, damn, money is going to run out!
