As Mo Wuchang's cultivation was infused into Lu Sheng's body, Lu Sheng's aura began to undergo a drastic transformation.

Bang!

A muffled sound emanated from within Lu Sheng's body, accompanied by a tremor that shook his entire being at this moment.

Soon after, a surge of cultivation exclusive to the later stage of the Venerable Realm roared out from Lu Sheng.

"Venerable Realm's later stage!"

Feeling the power within his body, Lu Sheng's lips curled slightly upwards at this moment.

"Not only have I stepped into the later stage of the Venerable Realm, I've advanced quite a bit within this stage as well."

"I'm not far from the peak of the Venerable Realm!"

"This Mo Strategy fellow... does have some tricks, actually got a powerhouse from the later stage of the Venerable Realm to make a move."

Lu Sheng chuckled, but soon his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Wait, Heavenly Strategy Marquis?"

Lu Sheng suddenly recalled the words Mo Wuchang said when he earlier challenged, and the memories in his mind suddenly surfaced.

"Heavenly Strategy Marquis… Isn't he from the Mo Family in Duke Wei's household too? Mo Family's third son?"

Lu Sheng looked at Mo Wuchang before him, now completely devoid of cultivation, and sank into silence.

Lu Sheng originally planned to use Mo Strategy's methods to create an endless stream of enemies for himself, thereby absorbing their cultivation to buy himself development time.

However...

I forgot that this Heavenly Strategy Marquis Mo Wuchang is also from the Mo Family, still Duke Wei's third son.

"So... did I just abolish the cultivation of Duke Wei's third son?"

Lu Sheng came to his senses, looking at the unconscious Mo Wuchang before him, unable to help but furrow his brows slightly.

"In this case... Duke Wei probably won't let this slide easily!"

"Moreover, he's a Marquis, his cultivation was abolished by me, and the court is likely to lose face, probably mobilizing troops to suppress me."

"This... is a bit troublesome!"

Lu Sheng scratched his head, but quickly regained his calm.

"Well, abolished is abolished. With my current strength, even if a Martial Saint makes a move, as long as I harness the power of my true self, I can hold my own!"

"At worst... I'll just absorb more powerful beings from the Venerable Realm!"

Lu Sheng said, quickly dispelling the worries from his mind, after all, with his current strength, Martial Saints really couldn't do much to Lu Sheng.

Unless a Martial God makes a move.

But in this world, to make a Martial God take action, it's only possible if the dynasty faces utter disaster, or if Lu Sheng becomes excessively disruptive, forcing the world's consciousness to drive Martial God powerhouses to act.

So, Lu Sheng didn't have much to worry about.

"Since it's been done, and we've angered Duke Wei, there's nothing to regret now. This guy... just finish him!"

Lu Sheng looked at Mo Wuchang lying in the deep pit, and as his voice fell, a terrifying force suddenly descended.

Bang!

Mo Wuchang's body instantly turned to dust under this force.

...

Duke Wei's Mansion.

The entire mansion was shrouded in an oppressive aura.

It was as if a gathering of dark clouds formed above Duke Wei's Mansion's sky, about to unleash a terrifying world-ending thunder upon it.

"The third son... is dead!"

Within the hall of Duke Wei's Mansion, a hunched old man sat silently in the main seat, his voice devoid of emotion.

Yet within his words was a chilling tone that made souls shiver.

The temperature in the hall dropped to its limit at this moment.

Meanwhile, two burly middle-aged men sat quietly there, their faces also showing some discomfort.

Mo Strategy sat trembling in his own seat, full of terror.

Indeed, not long ago, the news of Mo Wuchang's death had also reached Duke Wei's Mansion.

Mo Strategy felt as if the sky had fallen when he heard this news.

After all, that was his third uncle!

Esteemed as the top-tier force known as Heavenly Strategy Marquis.

Surprisingly killed by a mere second-generation Viscount.

What kind of situation is this?

Before Mo Strategy could recover from the shock, his grandfather, the current Duke Wei, had already emerged from seclusion.

With his emergence, the atmosphere in Duke Wei's Mansion changed considerably.

"Strategy! Your third uncle went to Xingyun County for your sake!"

Duke Wei's gaze fell on Mo Strategy, and his sharp eyes stirred an endless wave of fear in Mo Strategy's already terrified heart.

"And about that Fengxing County man... what's going on!!"

In Duke Wei's words was a hint of severity, yet also a tone full of confusion.

Understanding his son, Duke Wei knew Mo Wuchang well, and logically, within the Great Wei dynasty, unless Mo Wuchang provoked the Duke, or some top-tier Venerable Realm experts, his life was rarely threatened.

Besides, Mo Wuchang was smart enough to not place himself in danger.

Such circumstances could only mean the opponent's strength exceeded Mo Wuchang's expectations, perhaps even killing him in an instant.

Only that could truly achieve such a feat.

But how could such a presence be a mere second-generation Viscount? That's simply unrealistic.

Thus Duke Wei asked Mo Strategy for clarity.

Mo Strategy hesitated before revealing everything about him and Lu Sheng to Duke Wei.

"So... a former wastrel suddenly became a Great Grandmaster, now able to kill Venerable powerhouses! Even my third son died at his hands!"

As Duke Wei spoke, his eyes shimmered with faint radiance.

"Father, I believe there might be some oddities in this situation!"

Duke Wei's eldest son slowly spoke, realizing the peculiarity of the matter.

Such an event had never occurred within the Great Wei dynasty.

What could cause an individual to rise from a wastrel in a few years to become a being capable of killing later-stage Venerable Realm experts?

It's simply unscientific!

"It seems... there's some secret on that Fengxing County man's body!"

Duke Wei's eyes sparkled with a unique radiance.

Suddenly, Duke Wei seemed to have realized something, and with a wave of his hand, an exceedingly terrifying power enveloped the entire council chamber.

"Father, what's this?"

Everyone was puzzled.
