One person said: "If I make you a holy child, will you be granted godhood through the art of Gu

A sinister glint flashed in Lü Ci's eyes, but he ultimately suppressed his anger and coldly snorted, "Fine, if you insist on searching my soul, then go ahead!"

"However, I can make it clear in advance: if we can't find out, don't blame me for using other methods to deal with him!"

Lu Ci's compromise was only superficial; in reality, he was already planning how to make his move before the soul search, ensuring that Lu Liang would not reveal his secret.

His eyes were unpredictable, and his fingers tapped lightly on his cane, as if he was waiting for the right moment.

"Thank you for your understanding, Third Elder." The white-haired elder breathed a sigh of relief and then nodded to the other elder.

"Elder Liu, thank you for using your soul-searching technique."

The middle-aged man, referred to as Elder Liu, nodded and slowly stepped forward, preparing to begin the soul search.

Seeing this, Lü Liang revealed a cold smile, his eyes full of mockery.

Lu Ci was not willing to let him go so easily, but as long as he could buy some time, he would have a chance to escape.

Moreover, he believed that the soul search could prove his innocence and expose Lü Ci's conspiracy.

Just as Elder Liu was about to use the Soul Searching Technique, Lü Ci suddenly launched an attack!

"Crack!"

A crisp sound of bones breaking.

Lu Liang let out a shrill scream as his left forearm bent at an eerie angle.

Blood gushed out from the cut, staining the ground red and emitting a strong, pungent stench of blood.

"Clan leader! What are you doing?" The elders were shocked and rushed forward to stop him, their eyes filled with shock and anger.

Lu Ci's sudden move caught everyone off guard.

Even Lü Liang didn't expect him to be so crazy, directly poisoning him in front of everyone.

This blatant disregard for family rules reveals Lü Ci's inner anxiety and unease.

"What are you doing? Humph!"

Lu Ci sneered, his eyes flashing with a crazed light, his face contorted like a raging beast.

"This traitor has defected to the company, betrayed the Lü family, and even murdered members of my Lü family!"

"Now you want to use soul searching to exonerate him? I think you've been bewitched by him!"

Lu Ci's voice was filled with anger and disdain, but even more so with barely concealed anxiety and fear.

Once the soul search begins, his conspiracy will be exposed, and then not only will Lü Liang be rescued.

His own position in the Lü family and the Quanxing sect would also be in jeopardy.

"Third Elder, we just want to find out the truth!" the white-haired elder explained urgently, his eyes filled with confusion and shock.

"Besides, he is of the Lü family bloodline; he cannot be executed so hastily!"

"Once the truth is uncovered, if he is indeed guilty, we will naturally deal with him according to family rules!"

The white-haired elder's words were filled with his adherence to family traditions and his pursuit of justice.

This is precisely the foundation upon which the Lü family has been able to stand firm in the world of supernatural beings for hundreds of years.

But at this point, Lü Ci was blinded by anger and fear and wouldn't listen to any advice.

"Bloodline? Hahaha!" Lu Ci laughed loudly, his laughter filled with mockery and disdain, his eyes flashing with a mad light.

"What right does a traitor who betrayed his family have to talk about bloodlines? He is no longer worthy of being a member of the Lü family!"

Lu Ci's words were filled with hatred and contempt for Lu Liang, but even more so with fear of his secret being exposed.

Once Lü Liang speaks, his hard-earned status and prestige within the Lü family will instantly collapse.

Despite the excruciating pain from his severed arm, Lü Liang coldly stared at Lü Ci, his eyes filled with mockery and contempt: "You're just afraid of the truth coming out, afraid that people will discover that I didn't kill those people, but that you arranged for them to be killed!"

"You just want to use this opportunity to get rid of me and then frame the company, right?"

"Lu Ci, your dirty deeds will be exposed sooner or later!"

Lü Liang's words were like sharp swords, piercing Lü Ci's heart.

Every word made Lü Ci feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. Fear and anger intertwined, almost causing him to lose his mind.

"Insolence!" Lu Ci roared, his eyes filled with murderous intent, his voice laced with a strong threat.

"Men, take him away and keep him under strict guard! Don't let anyone near him!"

Several guards from the Lü family immediately stepped forward, lifted up the wounded Lü Liang, and tried to drag him out.

The guards were rough and disregarded Lü Liang's injuries, causing him immense pain with every step.

"Lu Ci! You'll regret this!" Lu Liang struggled, his voice filled with resentment and anger, his face contorted with pain, but his eyes remained resolute.

"Do you think you can fool everyone? One day, the truth will come out!"

"At that time, not only the Lü family, but the entire world of supernatural beings will not let you off the hook!"

Lü Liang's words echoed like a curse in the secret room, intensifying Lü Ci's unease.

Lu Liang is right. Once the truth is exposed, his status in the Lu family and the world of supernatural beings will collapse simultaneously.

"Take him away!" Lu Ci waved his hand impatiently, his expression ferocious and terrifying.

"Remember, no one is allowed to approach. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without exception!"

The guards obeyed and dragged Lü Liang away from the secret chamber.

Lu Ci stood there, watching Lu Liang disappear behind the door, his expression a mixture of emotions.

"Third Elder, I'm afraid this is not a good idea," the white-haired elder stepped forward and said cautiously, his eyes full of worry and confusion.

“After all, Lü Liang is a member of our Lü family. Using such a private punishment would likely cause criticism from other families.”

"Besides, what he said makes sense. Shouldn't we still use the soul search to find out the truth?"

The white-haired elder's words represented the collective opinion of the Lü family elders' council.

Although they respected Lü Ci's status, they also had their own principles when it came to issues involving family reputation and fairness and justice.

"What do you know!" Lu Ci shouted sharply, his eyes sweeping sharply over everyone present, his voice filled with threat and disdain.

"You have no right to interfere in the affairs of Quanxing! Lü Liang has betrayed the Lü family and, according to the rules, must be executed!"

"This is the ironclad rule of the Lü family; no one can violate it!"

Lu Ci's voice was filled with fervor and obsession for the Lu family, as if he were talking about a supreme faith.

This attitude made the elders of the Lü family feel unfamiliar and uneasy.

They had never seen Lü Ci so crazy.

The elders looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Lu Ci held an extremely high position in the Lu family, and with the support of the supernatural world, even the family elders dared not easily confront him.

Moreover, most of the elders did not have a deep understanding of Quanxing, let alone know Lü Ci's status and influence within Quanxing.

"Alright, that's enough for today," Lü Ci said coldly, a hint of warning in his eyes.

"You may all leave. I need some peace and quiet."
