Chapter 801: Ungrateful Son

Because of Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Great Grandfather Three’s involvement, the conflict of the Lu Family was resolved in a less bloody manner. Lu Li and Lu Ling’s original plan was to execute many people, including Lu Zhengtan, Lu Fenghuo and Lu Suan who could not be spared.

But for those that would be sent to the Demon-slaying Hall and had their souls reconstruct, they would be assigned to the Hall of Warfare and sent into the Demon-slaying Hall. In that case, it was pretty much the same as a death sentence. For those that could survive by any luck, they would be living a different life since they had no more memories of the past. They would be different people.

Patriarch of Law Enforcement was the previous Family Patriarch and the biggest connection of the Lu Family. Nobody could disobey him. What was more—Lu Fenhuang wished to avoid a dog-eat-dog scenario and internal strife. Lu Li and Lu Ling respected Lu Renhuang enough to refrain from doing anything rashly.

It would be a lie to say that Lu Ling and Lu Li harbored no hatred toward Lu Renhuang. But he did stay in the Ice Abyss for more than a decade in order to save their mother. What was more, he did show up at the most critical moment. The hatred they developed over the years had been dispersed.

Lu Zhengtan, Lu Tiandi and Lu Suan were brought to the Demon-slaying Hall by Great Grandfather Three. Great Grandfather Five would put Lu Fenghuo and the others in prison by himself. He would sent the sinned to the Demon Island and they would stay there for 10 years.

The implicated was not Lu Fenghuo. There were masters of the affiliated force, some patriarchs of the External Clan and deacons. All that were loyal to Lu Zhengtan and that were involved in invading the Clouds Plains, Serenity Plains and Northern Desert were taken down. After their trials, they would all be sent to the Demon Island.

Of the gigantic Lu Family, at least tens of thousands were thrown into prison. Great Grandfather Five would love to discourage this from happening but Lu Renhuang did not show mercy this time.

After all, those that joined the army and invaded the Clouds Plains, Serenity Plains and Northern Desert were those that determined to rival against Lu Li and Lu Ling. Those were the people that were trying to take Lu Li and Lu Ling’s lives. Those were the people that could lead to future trouble. Those were the people that might take a stab in the back in the future…

It was against the will of many to be sent to the Demon Island which was a perilous place. There was little chance of survival there. Therefore, there were small scale resistance and fights in the city. Some tried to flee. Needless to say, they were all killed by Lu Li’s soul slaves. A potent smell of blood hovered above the City of Mystic Armor.

Lu Li didn’t go and concern himself of such trivial matter. The culprit had been captured. Such underlying weren’t worthy of Lu Li’s attention.

Lu Li and the others went to the hall with the blood pond in it. This was where Lu Zhengyang were kept in ice. Now that Lu Renhuang had the cure, he would have to try to save Lu Zhengyang as soon as possible.

The door to the ice room was opened. The room was filled with thick ice in which lay an old man. Lu Li and Lu Ling checked with psychic power and were delighted to realize that Lu Zhengyang was still alive. Same as Bai Qiuxue a few years ago, the signs of life were unclear but at least Lu Zhengyang was still breathing.

Lu Zhengtan didn’t go so far as to take Lu Zhengyang’s life. In that case, Lu Li would go and kill Lu Zhengtan even if Patriarch of Law Enforcement came to stop him.

Great Grandfather Five was here as well, along with some healers of the Lu Family. They all checked on Lu Zhengyan and were relieved. Taking out the cure, Lu Renhuang handed it over to Great Grandfather Five and said, “Grandfather Five, I will leave you to it.”

Great Grandfather Five was a warrior with strong soul. The trickiest part of Lu Zhengyang’s poison was in his soul not in his body. Therefore, Great Grandfather Five would have to contribute in person.

Great Grandfather Five took it as his responsibility. He told two healers to release Xuan Energy to melt the ice bit by bit. In the time for half an incense stick to burn, they carried Lu Zhengtan out and put him on a bed outside.

Several healers sprung to work. First and foremost, they would have to let Lu Zhengyang recover his energy. Many bodily functions were damaged after being iced for so many years. To cure the poison right away would overwhelm the body. Lu Zhengyang could die very quickly thusly.

Lu Family had more than enough elixirs. Lu Li and Lu Ling had many rare kinds in their Interspatial Rings. The healers worked for an hour to ready Lu Zhengyang’s body a bit better.

Great Grandfather Five now started to deal with the poison. Lu Zhengyang was fed with the cure. Afterwards, Great Grandfather Five used soul power to remove the poison in Lu Zhengyang’s soul. When that part was taken care of, those in his body would not pose so much difficulty.

All held their breaths and they didn’t even dare to use psychic power to check, fearing that they might interfere with the process. They all waited on the side quietly. Great Grandfather Five put one hand on Lu Zhengyang’s head. The soul power streamed down from Great Grandfather Five’s hand and into Lu Zhengyang’s Soul Pond. Great Grandfather Five closed his eyes, sweat running down from his forehead…

Lu Zhengyang’s soul was weak at the moment. Once careless move and his soul could collapse. For this reason, Great Grandfather Five could not afford to make one mistake. Nobody dared to make a sound. Five Earth Immortal Realm warriors were guarding outside the door and they were ordered to kill anyone that dared to intrude.

Time moved on slowly. It had been 10 hours before Great Grandfather Five opened his eyes. He was exhausted. But there was a trace of smile on his face. Looking at Lu Renhuang, Lu Li and Lu Feixue, he said, “Okay, his soul is fine now. We don’t have to worry about too much about his body now.”

The healers went ahead to check. Soon, one of the older healers nodded and said, “He is okay now. We will take it from here on. Great Patriarch, go and have a rest. We promise that we will cure Family Patriarch.”

Lu Renhuang, Lu Li, Lu Ling and Lu Feixue were all relieved. Lu Renhuang sent someone to help Great Grandfather Five step away while he stayed. Lu Li and the other didn’t leave, either.

The healers were engaged in the process of cursing Lu Zhengyang. When they started, it was in the afternoon. By the time they were done, it was already midnight. The healers wiped sweat off from their foreheads and said, “Future Family Patriarch, we didn’t fail you.”

“Good!”

Lu Renhuang checked with psychic power. He nodded and replied, “Thank you so much. Go and have a rest. We will be here.”

Looking at Lu Renhuang, Patriarch Eight persuaded, “Renhuang, you go and have some sleep as well. I will keep an eye on him.”

Lu Renhuang dismissed the idea. He was not tired and he would be worried if he was not here in person. He must be around when Lu Zhengyang woke up.

When he was young, Lu Renhuang was so talented that he belittled others and was unruly. Lu Zhengyang was never able to tame him. Because Lu Zhengyang wanted to arrange a marriage for Lu Renhuang, the latter ran away from home in anger. Lu Zhengyang was boiling with anger. He ordered that nobody in the family could go and look for Lu Renhuang and that Lu Renhuang should stew in his own juice.

That being said, Lu Renhuang was Lu Zhengyang’s son. Lu Zhengyang was told that Lu Renhuang went to the Southern Land of Voodoos so he went alone to look for his son. However, he was attacked by Voodoo Race warriors and returned with grave wound.

Lu Renhuang felt guilty. At his age, he finally understood the feelings of a parent. Therefore, after leaving the Ice Abyss and found out about Lu Zhengyang, Lu Renhuang went to the Southern Land of Voodoo all by himself and fought for the cure…

Looking at Lu Zhengyang in a deep coma on the bed, and Lu Renhuang who was seized with guilt, Lu Li and Lu Ling were filled with mixed feelings as well.

If Lu Renhuang had not run away from home, he would not meet his wife and there would be no Lu Li nor Lu Ling. Nobody needed to take the blame in this string of matters. It was fate that played a joke on them all.

Lu Renhuang stayed in the underground room for 10 days. Bai Qiuxue, Jiang Qiling, Madam Yan and Ming Yu had settled down. Lu Li’s soul slaves were controlling the City of Mystic Armor while Patriarch Eight was handling internal affairs.

On the 11th day, Lu Zhengyang finally woke up. He was still a bit confused. It took him a long time after he opened his eyes to gain full consciousness.

“Plop!”

Once he made sure that Lu Zhengyang was fully awake, Lu Renhuang took the lead and dropped to his knees with Lu Feixue, Lu Li and Lu Ling. Lu Renhuang said with a chocking voice, “I am so sorry. I am here with my sister Lu Feixue, my son Lu Li and my daughter Lu Ling to meet you, father!”

Lu Zhengyang was still blurry in his sight. He looked around to Lu Renhuang and Lu Li for a long time. Tears streamed down from his eyes and dropped on the bed, making a clear sound.
