812 No One Left Alive (1/2)

Zong Shou squinted and then looked at Fangjue carefully before shaking his head.

”All of you putting my name into your Lu Family name list is your matter, it has nothing to do with me. I also didn't agree. Moreover, that would be Lu Shou and not Zong Shou...”

Although he didn't know about the Lu Family's situation, just through the 30 successor choices and those rumors, he could tell how chaotic it was within.

Even if this was their plan to make one stronger, allowing the juniors to fight to choose someone who had the ability to succeed the family, the Lu Family 10,000 years in the future would not only not weaken, but become even stronger instead.

Zong Shou had no intentions of stepping in and being wrapped up in this whirlpool.

Moreover, whether or not his father would kill him for wanting to change his surname was another matter...

If he had enough power to cause the Lu Family to compromise and release his Mother, that was enough to satisfy him.

At this moment, he had already seen some hope. Common People's Path and Dragon Shadow, although it was far from enough to make the Lu Family yield, was already enough to go up against them.

That day was probably not too far away.

Fangjue probably predicted this and said expressionlessly, ”The matter has already reached such a state, so regardless of whether Young Master agrees, you are already our Young Master. There will be no changes to what has already happened. All enemies and friends of the Lu Family in this region will know about it, that you are our direct bloodline and the future Head of the Family.”

What he meant was that Zong Shou's thoughts were of no meaning at all and wouldn't affect the situation.

Zong Shou became even more unhappy, why did it feel like he was being forced? He didn't like to be on the back foot, to be made to do things by others.

He also felt helpless, there was really nothing he could do to such a person.

Speaking of which, why did he have to debate with these people?

Just now, didn't he find it inappropriate looking at these people kneeling towards him?

Thinking about that, he couldn't help but rub his temples.

”Please get up first before we speak!”

Fangjue laughed when he heard that. He didn't reject this time and stood up. His expression was the same as the people behind him; it was extremely complicated.

”After Little Miss gave birth to you, she never met you, but she still loves you deeply. If she knew of your current situation, she would be delighted!”

Zong Shou's expression changed slightly as he looked towards Fangjue. Apart from Zong Weiran, this was the first time he heard someone who knew his parents talk about his Mother.

That's true! How could she not love him?

He heard about the rules of the Lu Family, to still insist under such a circumstance to give birth to him, how was she a normal person to do such a thing?

He had never seen his Mother and had no recollection of her in his memory but he was still able to feel her warmth.

Then, Fangjue said, ”I once served Little Miss for 70 years. The entire Fang Family has benefited from her kindness. The most painful thing in my life was when Little Miss was being punished, but I was powerless to help her. Now, I am fortunate to have become a Hall Head, I will go all out to let Young Master control the Lu Family to take back everything that belongs to Little Miss...”

If the words before had touched him, the words after made him speechless.

However, since Cangyan Hall Head, the Head of one of the six halls of the Lu Family, maybe he knew where his Mother was?

”What is my Mother's current situation?”

He asked right as he thought about it, staring right at Fangjue, ”Where is she now?”

”In the Nine Extreme Death Jail!”

Fangjue answered without any hesitation, ”This is where the Lu Family punishes people. One world, nine layers, tightly guarded. It was said that the ninth layer is like hell. Once one enters, even a God Realm expert wouldn't be able to take the heavy punishment, often dying in a few years. There are only a few who are able to survive. Unless one relied on outside help, otherwise, one wouldn't be able to leave. Little Miss was only Heaven Realm when she was punished. Even if Old Master was helping her secretly, she should still have been suffering from a lot of torture.”

When he said this, he suddenly recalled something and said, ”A few days ago, there was a God Realm cultivator who entered and made a huge scene. Then, who knew where he went. Did he go to jail or did he just leave? Some people said that he was your Father Zong Weiran, who knows whether or not it's true?”

Zong Shou's pupils constricted before returning to normal.

”Nine Extreme Death Jail? Is it really impossible to leave once one enters?”

”That is not the case!”

Fangjue shook his head, ”Unless one has the purest Sky Burning blood or something above it. However, such a bloodline hadn't appeared in the Lu Family for several generations, even your Mother doesn't have it. Or maybe someone outside the jail helps her. However, that Nine Extreme Death Jail was said to be the incarnation of a spiritual sense of an End Realm of the Lu Family. So, no one had been able to escape the jail over these tens of thousands of years...”

Zong Shou nodded his head in deep thought. In other words, to save her, he had to risk angering an End Realm.

Fangjue said, ”There is one more plan, which involves you taking control of our Sky Burning Lu Family!”

Zong Shou glanced at him with a cold gaze. Then, he saw the dozens of Lu Family people behind him with passionate eyes, filled with craving and anticipation.

He held his breath. These people were all extremely loyal to his Mother.
