Chapter 844 The Farce Ends, the Spirit Seed Matures (Part 2)

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Lü Zheng burst into laughter.

Amidst the laughter, his aura continued to rise.

At this moment, Lü Zheng appeared calm and composed, with a natural air of authority between his brows.

"Dugu Ba, did I, Lü, contribute anything to your becoming the ruler of the country today?"

Dugu Ba was startled upon hearing this.

He bowed with both hands raised in submission.

"Dugu Ba's current success is largely thanks to Elder Yang and Brother Lü."

"Very well, since that's the case, the child in my sister's womb will be the legitimate son of your Dugu family, and the future heir."

Who was Dugu Ba? He naturally wouldn't take such a trivial matter to heart.

"It's natural."

"You swear an oath before the elders that if this child suffers any misfortune or accident in the future, it will be considered that you have broken your oath, and the elders will uphold justice and take your life."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Ba's expression changed slightly.

"Life is unpredictable, but since Brother Lü has made such a request, I will certainly fulfill it."

Dugu Ba finished speaking and turned around.

"Today, in front of all my fathers and brothers, I hereby swear that the child in Hui Niang's arms will be named Dugu Xin, and will be the head of my Dugu family in the future."

The Dugu family warriors below all responded in agreement.

What they care about is the position of the Dugu family in the Guzhu Kingdom; as for who is the head of the family, they truly don't care.

It was originally thought that after the deaths of Dugu Chen and his son, the Dugu family, having lost the support of the Longevity Sect, would fall from its current position.

Unexpectedly, Dugu Ba managed to survive from the brink of death and led everyone to create a new era.

Now is the time when Dugu Ba's popularity is at its peak, and with the elders of the Longevity Sect by his side, the entire Dugu family naturally has no objections.

These long-established powerful families have long since scorned so-called benevolence and morality, focusing only on the gains and losses of advancement and retreat.

If Lü Zheng is willing to change his surname, they can still support him as their successor.

Dugu Ba, on the other hand, would accept any promise, let alone a thousand, or even ten thousand, as long as he could get through tonight.

"Alright, in that case, please take care of your mother-in-law, Brother Dugu."

Lu Zheng made his last request.

"what?"

Dugu Ba glanced at Yunniang, who was sitting on the ground on the other side.

He originally thought that Lü Zheng would definitely send this old bastard to some remote place to do hard labor, but he didn't expect that he would actually send her to his own hands.

This kid.

Dugu Ba was secretly delighted. He had only had Lü Huiniang and felt it wasn't enough to be safe. Now that he had Lü Zheng's mother and sister under his control, he could truly rest easy.

"If my mother-in-law is willing to give Dugu Ba a chance to show filial piety, that would be my good fortune."

"Therefore, I have no further requests."

Lü Zheng smiled.

Dugu Ba sensed something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

As he spoke, Lü Zheng bowed to Su Che.

"This disciple kneels to express gratitude to the elder for saving me."

"The sinner Dugu Ba thanks the elder..."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Inside the main hall, whether they were Dugu Ba's armored soldiers or Dugu King's concubines, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank Su Che.

Su Che was rather disappointed.

Originally, it was thought that Lü Zheng would continue to kill, but unexpectedly he stopped at the last minute and entrusted his mother and sister to Dugu Ba.

If Su Che hadn't been able to sense some kind of change occurring in the spiritual seed within Lü Zheng's body, he would have thought that the kid had run into some kind of problem again.

"Dugu Ba".

Su Che looked down at Dugu Badao.

"The sinner is here."

"From now on, the Changsheng Sect will no longer send disciples to Guzhu Kingdom to serve in various positions."

"Ah..." Although Dugu Ba had already guessed it, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.

The original Longevity Sect had at least four Longevity True Persons and numerous Void Step experts. The sheer number of Rejuvenation Pill experts alone was enough to overwhelm all surrounding forces.

If it weren't for the Black Blood Cult having the Black Blood Demon as its foundation, it would have been completely eradicated by the Longevity Cult long ago.

However, given the recent chaos, although Dugu Ba doesn't know exactly how much the Changsheng Sect has lost, he expects it will need some time to recover.

I never imagined it would escalate to the point of withdrawing from the Kingdom of Guzhu.

Dugu Ba felt a chill run through his body.

He knew all too well how many ferocious beasts were waiting to tear him apart. Without the protection of the Longevity Sect, how long could his Dugu family rule the Guzhu Kingdom?

With the Longevity Sect around, as long as I keep the Wanyan and Tuoba families in check, I can control the Guzhu Kingdom.

Without the Longevity Cult, the entire Guzhu Kingdom would be nothing more than a piece of fat meat waiting to be devoured.

Did I waste my time all night?
Dugu Ba glanced at Yunniang and Lü Huiniang beside him and felt a little cheated.

"Elder, the Ten Thousand Mountains are surrounded by demons, and various evil spirits are causing trouble throughout the country..."

"I told you, you have the bearing of an emperor."

Su Che smiled and said to Dugu Badao, "I believe you can lead the Guzhu Kingdom to create a new era."

Is this a new phenomenon of everything being eaten up by monsters?

Dugu Ba knelt on the ground, at a loss for what to do.

"If all else fails, you can go to the Black Blood Cult."

Su Che's next words gave Dugu Ba a glimmer of hope.

"Of course, we will also deal with those who collude with our enemies."

Su Che stretched comfortably.

Today, the Kingdom of Guzhu is a bad asset for the Eternal Life Sect, and Su Che's future plans will see a different positioning for it than before.

The purpose of bringing Lü Zheng on this trip was to announce this matter, but unexpectedly, it also led to a dramatic and melodramatic scene.

"gone."

Su Che took Lü Zheng with him, and Lü Zheng followed Su Che without any hesitation. The two of them rode the wind and flew directly away from the palace tower.

"Dugu Ba kneels to bid farewell to Elder Yang, may the Elder enjoy eternal bliss and live as long as heaven and earth!"

The chanting sounded from behind. Su Che had no more regrets and, taking Lü Zheng with him, transformed into a shadow and soared away.

However, in the blink of an eye, Su Che landed.

The temple is dilapidated and crumbling, and the statues of the gods are no longer there.

There was even a faint smell of blood in the air.

Su Che returned to the City God Temple in Guzhu Kingdom.

Lu Zheng looked at Su Che, his mentor who had given him a second chance at life. Su Che was looking up at the City God statue in his hands, seemingly deep in thought.

"Elder?"

"What were you thinking, handing your mother and sister over to Dugu Ba?"

Su Che got straight to the point.

"Put his mind at ease. I'll kill him sooner or later, just not now."

Lü Zheng explained.

"revenge?"

"Yes, Dugu, Wanyan, Tuoba, I could not kill them all in one night. It is better to take it slowly. I will not let them go. The elders taught me that beheading them with one stroke is merciful, but cutting them into a thousand pieces and turning them into ghost slaves is the way of our Holy Sect."

Lü Zheng smiled.

"Moreover, the two of them were also a source of torment for Dugu Ba."

"Humans are not plants or trees; feelings develop over time."

Su Che looked into Lü Zheng's eyes.

"Your mother and sister will probably be heartbroken then."

“Lu Zheng has long since lost all his relatives like them.” Lu Zheng smiled. “The elder is right. Apart from me, there is nothing else. Since they only regard me as a tool, I will treat them as livestock.”

Su Che nodded.

Regardless of her state of mind, the spiritual seed she had planted in Lü Zheng's body had indeed matured.

I owe you seven chapters.
