At this moment, outside of the Nine Extreme Jail, within the Star Fire Dust Formation.
Lu Jueyan stood with his arms by his body, his expression was really weird. There was some rage, some shock and also a teasing intent.
However, most of it was surprise.
Lu Tianqing stood respectfully to the side and kept quiet.
He was looking at this Extreme Flame Saint Venerable but someone like him didn’t show his rage or joy on his face.
If he wanted to use that to test his thoughts and feelings, then it would be a great mistake.
After a long silence, Lu Jueyan suddenly laughed.
“Tianqing what do you think about this kid?”
Lu Tianqing thought about it for a while, hesitating on what he wanted to say.
“He is prideful and determined. He will definitely be someone who is stubborn and normal methods won’t move his heart…”
“Stubborn? Your evaluation of him is really straight to the point!”
Lu Jueyan nodded, a glow flashed in his eyes.
He knew that the junior beside him had deeper meanings in his words.
He was determined, in other words, it would be tough for the Lu Family to remove the hatred in his heart.
Even if they forcefully recruited him, it would be tough to clear out the cracks and layers between them.
They had to consider the risks involved.
Neither agreeing nor disagreeing, Lu Jueyan acted like he didn’t understand what had been said as he smiled, “What I am asking about isn’t his personality but his ability. Under such pressure to not collapse and still training his own Sword Path and Martial Intent to improve even further, this kid…”
Although he looked only around 20, he was actually an old man.
It was as if he couldn’t find any good words to evaluate him, Lu Jueyan thought about it for a while before speaking up.
“He is a top swordsman! I actually see a chance that the Grand Dao is in him. In the future, he would easily enter the End Realm. This Junior is definitely not trash! I remember not long after he was born, someone reported he had a Dual Meridian Body and broken soul?”
Lu Tianqing’s eyes flashed and then he bowed toward him, “That’s right! To me, there are no people in the same generation that are on his level!”
Zong Shou was not only not trash but he possessed unique talent.
From his perspective, he couldn’t think of many such experts in this region over the past 1,000 years who could even be regarded to be on the same level as him.
There would only be one or two such top talents every 1,000 years.
However, Zong Shou had the Lu Family Sky Burning Blood in him so he had a different meaning to them.
“As expected from the descendent of the Saint Emperor. If he finds out, he would be delighted! The Yanyuan Bloodline will have a successor.”
His tone sounded like he was praising but when Lu Jueyan heard this, he shook his head and asked directly, “Are you trying to remind me that if this kid returns, Yanyuan’s bloodline will take over? Don’t act smart…”
Lu Tianqing’s expression changed. He could feel a scorching flame attacking his soul.
He gritted his teeth, not begging for mercy at all as he just kept silent.
Lu Jueyan looked at him without expression.
“Looking at the kid’s situation, he has obviously awakened by the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Blood. He had pretty much merged the two bloodlines into one. Oh right! The person who charged into the Death Jail a while ago was Hanyan’s husband? In just 20 years, he reached God Realm, he is also from the Nine-Tailed Xuan Fox Bloodline! Hanyan really has good taste. Speaking of which, she wasn’t wrong and instead was meritorious?”
Lu Tianqing’s brow furrowed, he hesitated a moment and then said, “However, this is only a special case! It is tough for our Lu Family Sky Burning Bloodline to be maintained. Recently, no End Realm and Saint Realm Experts have appeared. If everyone acted like her, in just 3,000 years, the Lu Family would break apart and collapse.
Be it God Beast Bloodline or their Lu Family Sky Burning Blood, they would become diluted over time.
When one’s cultivation reached a certain level, it would be purified. If someone evolved their Sky Burning Blood to the purest form, it would allow the bloodline power to benefit the entire race.
7,000 years ago, the Sky Burning Bloodline had already reached its pinnacle.
Even the new Saint Realm Cultivators were unable to do anything more.
During these few years, they were only able to barely maintain it. After some time passed, there were even signs of it weakening.
This was why each person who was listed into the direct bloodline name list was hugely important to the race.
As for people like Lu Hanyan, there were huge hopes for her.
This was also why Lu Hanyan was punished.
“Moreover, that day, her punishment was decided by the few Saint Venerables! If we revert the sentence now, then the Punishment Hall and the few Saint Venerables would lose face.”
“That does make sense!”
Lu Jueyan’s expression didn’t change, instead, asking, “Who are you speaking for? Which Country Ruler needs you to help them so much. Or what reason do you have?”
His tone was really flat but it was extremely sharp. Someone like him didn’t need to be indirect with others and waste energy, he could just get straight to the point.
There weren’t many matters of this world that could be hidden away from him.
No one dared to!
“It is Country Ruler Xuanhua!”
Lu Tianqing’s face was ashen white but he said honestly, “Saint Venerable doesn’t know that 10 years ago, my eldest grandson married Xuanhua Country Ruler and today they completed their wedding. 20 years ago, Xuanhua Country Ruler became the Punishment Hall Head.”
Lu Jueyan didn’t react and instead retracted the suppression.
He heaved a sigh of relief and then spoke, “Although I have my selfish reasons, my words are also spoken because of the responsibility I have as part of my job. I don’t dare to be disrespectful to Saint Venerable. Please consider your decision!”
“You do in fact not dare!”
Lu Jueyan waved his sleeves and didn’t worry much about it. His Spiritual Sense focused on the kid who had passed the abyss gate and entered the eighth layer of the Death Jail.
“What a stubborn kid, how interesting! Then, according to you, how should I deal with him?”
Lu Tianqing’s brow rose up when he heard this and then his expression returned to normal.
“This person is the descendant of Yanyun Saint Venerable and for the sake of stabilizing the Lu Family, he can’t die in our hands. We also can’t let him remain outside. Let’s just throw him in this eighth layer and not worry about him…”
There were no fluctuations in his tone, filled with a bone-chilling coldness.
The eighth layer Nether Death Jail was 100 times more dangerous than the Spirit Ocean Death Jail and snatched more Life Essence. Even if this kid could take it, he would turn into a pile of bones after 200 years.
“Don’t worry about him? Okay, I will do as you have just said…”
Lu Jueyan laughed when he heard this like he agreed with what Lu Tianqing said.
His gaze was profound, “However, you need to know that if something happens, even I can’t do anything. When the time comes, you will have to suffer the consequences.”
Lu Tianqing was startled, he didn’t understand what he meant by this.
However, since this Extreme Flame Saint Venerable had already agreed to him, then his family wouldn’t have any more problems.
