937 Before The Change (1/2)

The World Burning Flame exploded out for just a moment, totally dispersing the black mist within100 miles.

Everything here was open and one could see once more. Spiritual Sense was no longer blocked.

The source of the gaze was Lu Hanyan under the Monster tree, her beautiful eyes filled with both shock and worry.

Jueyan smiled and with a flash he arrived beside the tree.

With a wave of his sleeve, those vines that restricted Lu Hanyan exploded out. All the restrictions along with the tree were smashed to dust!

Jueyan looked at Zong Shou who he was carrying. He felt a headache.

Thinking about it, he tossed him aside like rubbish.

Lu Hanyan was originally surprised and shocked about why Jueyan destroyed the restrictions.

Seeing the situation, she didn't worry about herself and flashed over, grabbing Zong Shou.

Her eyes were filled with astonishment as she looked at Jueyan.

”Saint Venerable, why are you doing this? What is this all about?”

”What else can this be about? Your luck is not bad and you gave birth to a good son. Your punishment in the past was too hastily decided. A few days ago, Yanyuan and I decided to pardon you for the rest of your sentence...”

Jueyan smiled, his hands hung behind his back, ”Before this, you have served more than 20 years on this Eighth Layer and I will compensate you for it. I only have something to ask you. Are you angry for being locked up here?”

Lu Hanyan's brow rose up. What she asked him was why he treated Zong Shou like this?

He obviously had high hopes for him and even used the Jade Bone Spirit Returning Marrow but still tortured him like that.

When she heard these words, her expression changed.

She was lucky to have a good son? What did he mean? Her remaining sentence was pardoned like that?

The person in front of her was an End Realm Saint Venerable, one of the most powerful people in the Lu Family, so naturally he wouldn't spout nonsense. So what was the reason for all this?

Hearing his tone, the reason why she was able to escape was because of Shou'er?

She then kept silent. He asked her about whether she was angry toward the Lu Family. This was really a tough one to answer.

She was indeed filled with hate. In the beginning, she hadn't expected such a thing to occur. She was just too young and her thoughts were too pure. She thought that it was just a normal punishment.

She didn't expect that it was because the few Country Rulers were creating trouble for her.

She was indeed filled with rage due to being trapped within the Death Jail.

However, after these dozens of years, she saw through it and the only person she felt guilty toward was her grandfather, the current Sky Burning Saint Venerable...

Lu Hanyan's body shuddered, her back became straight and her eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at Jueyan.

”Afterward, there were the issues about you and the Sky Fox Bloodline guy in the Cloud World. At that time, Country Ruler Xuanhua was the first to create problems. He had control of the Punishment Hall. He said that your grandfather only had you left and you married an outer race, giving rise to impure descendants. If he used the treasure to enter the End Realm, it wouldn't help the entire Lu Family. After he started it, 70% of the Country Rulers and Elders all supported him such that we had no choice but to agree to prevent the Lu Family from splitting apart...”

Lu Hanyan's face fluctuated between green and white. She knew that her punishment at the Nine Extreme Death Jail was really weird.

She didn't know the true reason but only heard some astonishing news.

It involved an End Realm position fight and naturally it was something they fought to the death for.

Sky Burning Saint Emperor was able to escape unharmed due to his great fortune.

”At that time, Beiwu had two choices. He could find another wife before he reached End Realm to give birth to a kid. He would just push back the time he stepped into the End Realm by a few hundred years. However, your grandfather loved your grandmother and they were really close, so they didn't consider this issue. The next plan was to force you to give up on that fox kid and marry another person.”

Lu Hanyan gritted her teeth, her fists clenched tightly and fresh blood dripped within.

Lu Beiwu was her grandfather, the current Sky Burning Saint Emperor!

She was really clear that the Sky Burning Flame Emperor helped to block her from the rain and win from start to finish like a tree covering the Heavens.

”Your grandfather had pride and used the power in his hands to exchange for the support of a few Elders to protect your life. After that, he went into seclusion and stopped worrying about Saint Dynasty matters. He backed out of the fight for the god treasure. He didn't want to use external items to enter the End Realm of the Grand Path...”

When he said this, he paused, ”Speaking of which, the matters that year were too much of a coincidence. Thinking back, there might have been people scheming from the dark. Unfortunately, out of all the descendants of Beiwu, he is the only one I had high hopes for.”

Lu Hanyan's eyes were filled with shock. So her love with Zong Weiran was actually arranged?

Afterward, she shook her head firmly. She loved Weiran deeply and he loved her back too.

Regardless of whether their meeting was planned by others, their relationship couldn't be faked.

She also found it weird, why Jueyan would reveal all these secrets in front of her for no reason.

Jueyan smiled awkwardly, ”At this moment, Beiwu isn't in a good state. Decades of not dealing with Saint Dynasty matters, he has long given up his spot. Although this Saint Dynasty battle that had lasted for 20 years is still going on, many people are calling for a change in Saint Emperor. Your grandfather has many enemies in his life who he could threaten when he is still in power. The moment he is not, those people might take the chance to enact revenge. With his ability, even if he doesn't fear, he would still be worried and might not be able to cleanly prepare for the End Realm Tribulation...”

”Let me ask you a question, are you willing to return to the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty to help your grandfather? This matter is all up to you. You make your own choice.”
