Chapter 983: Just So Overbearing

“Rude words, arrogant and unrestrained, scolding the top heir of our Sky Burning Lu Family, future Emperor Lord. Who says you can leave like that?”

So it was the Lu Family!

Zong Shou came to his senses and frowned slightly.

Why did they come at such a time and what were they planning?

Who was this person in front of him?

Lu Wubing knew his thoughts and said softly, “He is the Huangyan Hall Head Tan Kongbian, he has always been neutral.”

Only then did Zong Shou’s frowned brow relax. However, he felt a headache.

What was called neutral? Naturally, he didn’t lean toward Xuanhua Country Ruler and Xuanye Country Ruler, nor Sky Burning Emperor Lu Beiwu.

Also because he was neutral he was unable to guess what this person was planning.

He had many questions here, Li Wuque was stunned while Liu Muchen was totally confused.

Insulting the Sky Burning Lu Family top heir, future Emperor Lord? When did that happen? No matter how arrogant he was, he wasn’t this arrogant and stupid to offend the Lu Family…

Li Wuque frowned and wanted to speak.

Tan Kongbian didn’t even look at this End Realm Saint Venerable, directly muttering toward Liu Muchen.

“…Crazy! Actually wanting to make my Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty give up five small worlds. You really are trying to make the worlds laugh! An ant of a country with less than a million troops and no more than 10 Celestial Realm Cultivators. You actually dare to say that you will make the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty give up land? You really have lost your mind and really are a joke! Can you really say these words?”

Liu Muchen was stunned. He didn’t say that but it was in a Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty letter. How did it insult the Lu Family top heir and future Emperor Lord?

He recalled that the current heir was Lu Huanxiao who should be fighting thousands of worlds away. Did this person join Great Gan and he didn’t know?

The future Emperor, did this girl become the next Sky Burning Saint Emperor so quickly?

Just as many thoughts flashed, Tan Kongbian laughed coldly. He pulled up the long sword and waved, cutting off Liu Muchen’s other arm.

Who knows what method he used such that Liu Muchen was totally unable to move and resist?

Zong Shou took a slight look. Tan Kongbian had a treasure on his body that could compare to the techniques of an End Realm cultivator.

Lu Wubing was the one who explained, “When the five Saint Hall Heads have duties, they will hold a God Realm End Treasure. They aren’t like the eight Country Rulers who hold End Realm strength but their combat strength will be far above Saint Realm…”

Zong Shou nodded his head solemnly. He had heard about the five halls and five God Treasures.

At this moment, his chest was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

As expected from the shocking power of a group that ruled tens of thousands of worlds.

His voice continued, it was ice cold.

“Let me ask, Great Gan Small King Zong Shou you are crazy? Or you had enough of living? Or as rumors say you are stupid… Did you say these few words?”

He listened on with a stunned expression, his eyes filled with loss.

He did say those words and it was recorded in the letter to Great Gan.

His heart suddenly jumped as he thought about something.

Zong Shou?

It was said that his Mother was the Lu Family Princess, the only descendant of the Sky Burning Saint Emperor Lu Beiwu.

It was said that she married a Sky Fox and gave birth to Zong Shou. He was deemed by the Lu Family as trash and threw into the Cloud World.

Was he now the top heir of the Sky Family? Even decided so early as the next Sky Burning Saint Emperor?

The moment this thought rose up, he found it really preposterous.

He knew roughly the situation in the Lu Family and knew that as long as Xuanhua was there, then this Beiwu descendant wouldn’t be able to return.

Tan Kongbian waved his sword once more and with a crisp crack he mercilessly sliced off his left knee!

“I heard you have a small Celestial Realm Cultivator calked Hong Jiuchen. He called my Young Master a Lu Family abandoned bastard and tried to scheme against him. You not only didn’t punish him, but protected him right?”

Liu Muchen’s pupils constricted. He looked toward Zong Shou at a loss.

Was he really the top heir?

Li Wuque also had a weird expression in his eyes, asking, “Hall Head Tan, the first heir you mention is Great Gan Celestial Lord Zong Shou?”

“Yes!”

This Tan Kongbian couldn’t totally ignore this End Realm Saint Venerable. He said expressionlessly, “Roughly three months ago, his bloodline rose up and awakened the World Burning Blood Eye. He is unique in the Lu Family, the only pureblood. The Sky Burning Ancestral Court decided on him being the top heir. So, what this person did and said can’t be pardoned…”

Li Wuque’s face turned white and green, he looked toward Zong Shou in astonishment.

He naturally knew what the bloodline purification into World Burning Blood Eyes meant.

The overall Lu Family power had rose by 10-20%!

Three End Realms, a Saint Emperor, Eight Country Rulers, 59 Saint Realm Elders would all benefit from this. Their bloodline power would also be increased.

A pureblood descendant also meant that once he entered End Realm, he would be able to bring the Sky Burning Bloodline a step further.

Unless this person gave up his rights to the throne, then no other person could fight with this kid!

Taking in a deep breath, Li Wuque calmed down and then opened his mouth once more, “There is a phrase about how someone who doesn’t know isn’t to be punished. Liu Muchen didn’t know about this matter before. Now he has already been punished…”

Before he said this, Tan Kongbian interrupted, “Which is why I didn’t slice him with 1,000 blades!”

The tone was cold and tough without any emotions at all, retorting everything that Li Wuque had said.

This person should understand. If one followed the Lu Family rules, anyone not in the family who insulted the Saint Lord would have their soul restricted, and burned for 10 days and nights under the Sky Burning Lamp.

Although Zong Shou wasn’t officially the Emperor, he was the Crown Prince and could use the strength of the Saint Emperor.

Li Wuque frowned once more and looked toward Zong Shou. Liu Muchen understood and looked at Zong Shou in despair.

He knew that the only one who could save his life was Zong Shou.

Even Li Wuque couldn’t do that…

Zong Shou was helpless. He really didn’t want Liu Muchen to die just like this.

Thinking to himself was all the bad stuff happening? He guessed that the Sky Burning Lu Family could use this person’s words to make a big issue. However, he didn’t know that they would react so quickly.

Speaking of which, the decree only occured half a day ago and this person already knew.

He had to be hidden nearby and just interfered at the right time.

“Hall Head Tan, this is my matter with them, I can solve it myself, the Lu Family doesn’t need to interfere.”

Then, he said leisurely, “This person has suffered enough punishment…”

To tell the truth, he didn’t like this Liu Muchen much. Even if he deserved to die, he shouldn’t die here.

When Tan Kongbian heard this, he bowed toward Zong Shou respectfully.

However, he didn’t recognize and agree with his words.

“Young Master’s words are false. This isn’t your own matter and it concerns the face of our entire Lu Family. Since you are the future Saint Emperor, every action is connected to us and you can’t do anything lightly. The Emperor Family never has private matters.”

His tone changed, “‘Naturally, if you are using your identity as Lu Family Crown Prince to give the order, then I have to follow. I still want you to think about it carefully. If we let him off, others will look down on us and laugh at you for being too unsystematic and too kind. Hanyan Palace Head will also be mocked by the race.”

Zong Shou was stunned, he was really stopped by Tan Kongbian.

Even though he was prepared to follow his father’s words, he still resisted his identity as the Crown Prince.

He was also unsure whether or not this matter would really affect Lu Hanyan.

However, at this moment, Lu Wubing pulled at his sleeves.

He was telling him not to argue about it.

Zong Shou retracted his voice and kept quiet. On one side, he was only letting his bad person live due to Great Gan’s expansion and thus had to leave his life, on the other, he was thinking about his mother. Naturally, one could tell which was more important.

Li Wuque knew what Zong Shou was thinking about just by looking at him. He knew that there was no hope.

He sighed and didn’t have many grievances. He could also tell that this kid was helpless and couldn’t do anything.

His eyes became dark and were filled with coldness.

“There is no other way? If you think these punishments aren’t enough, Muchen can compensate with other methods. Your Lu Family is strong, but there is no need to be so domineering! Just a few words and you want to kill someone.”

Tan Kongbian didn’t reply, the sword light stirred and a streak of light slashed toward Liu Muchen’s neck.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense and wanted to take his life now.

That Li Wuque reached out, a hand and a sword instantly clashed several times.

Moments later, Li Wuque’s hand pulled back.

His face was ashen white as he looked at Liu Muchen’s head. It was sliced off by the sword and blood spurted.

The entire void was in silence. Moments later, Li Wuque burst out laughing, “Good! Good! Good! What a Huangyan Palace Head, what a Huangyan Saint Armor. I have gained knowledge…”

He then scoffed coldly, “Let’s hope that your Sky Burning Lu Family can be so strong in the future and be so overbearing!”

That voice seemed to have come from the depths of hell. Li Wuque waved his sleeves, and he didn’t want to speak anymore as he stepped into the void.

Dragon Shadow’s voice rang out in Zong Shou’s mind once more.

“Not just Huangyan Saint Armor, this Huangyan Hall Head was not the only Lu Family Venerable that came here.”
