Divine Brilliance

Chapter 938: Digging A Hole And Burying A Person

“As the Saint Venerable asked, I rushed back in 10 days...”

While speaking, Lu Tianqing’s eyes rose up and peaked at Jueyan’s expression.

The outcome disappointed him. Although Saint Venerable liked to show his joy and anger, it was close to impossible for him to use this to deduce his thoughts on this matter.

“Thank you, at least you won’t delay my important matters.”

Jueyan waved his sleeves and took the Jade Box. He opened it and took a look before laughing in a satisfied manner. He tossed it to the woman in the red shirt, who was beside him.

At this moment, Lu Tianqing was glancing at Lu Hanyan.

“Saint Venerable, I recall that there are still 20 years till this woman’s sentence is up.”

He really didn’t understand why Jueyan would release her and bring her out of the Death Jail?

His words were probing but also filled with curiosity.

When Jueyan heard this, he laughed coldly, “What? Do I need to report to you, regarding such a small matter?”

Lu Tianqing’s body shuddered slightly and felt like his soul was about to be smashed into pieces.

This was the only part of spending time with a Saint Venerable that he didn’t like, it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, he could only bow in terror, “Of course, I don’t dare.”

“That’s good!”

Jueyan laughed and retracted the Soul Suppression before asking flatly, “Then, have you thought things through over these 10 days? If you know what is good for you, then your descendant’s marriage matter can be scrapped. Help me tell Xuanhua that I am annoyed at what he has been doing recently...”

Lu Tianqing felt a small explosion in his mind.

Saint Venerable really had a deep reason for getting him to obtain the Cangwu Saint Fruit.

...He was annoyed about Xuanhua Country Ruler’s recent actions referred to Xuanhua colluding with outsiders and mixing with outer race Saint Venerables?

He had a relaxed feeling in his chest, thinking that he had already guessed most of it, about what this Extreme Flame Saint Venerable was planning.

Speaking of which...

Lu Tianqing saw Lu Hanyan from the corner of his eyes.

He brought this woman out of the Death Jail because he was preparing to support the Sky Burning Saint Venerable who had been in seclusion for many years?

Thinking about it for a moment, Lu Tianqing laughed coldly.

He most probably didn’t have such intentions, he just wanted to use this to warn Xuanhua.

If not, he would have brought Zong Shou out too.

Speaking of which, Saint Venerable hadn’t bothered about worldly matters for really too long! He was actually so dumb to use Lu Beiwu as a betting chip.

20 years ago, out of a full 76 Country Rulers and Saint Realm Elders, 70% of them became enemies with the Saint Emperor.

If he was able to make a comeback, which one of them wouldn’t be worried that he would take revenge?

What happened then wouldn’t involve just Xuanhua. The other few would probably be dragged into this matter too.

Did Saint Venerable really think that the Lu Family was like it was years ago when 3 End Realm Experts working together could control everything?

8 Country Rulers, each had the power to fight someone of the End Realm.

Let’s not talk about Yanyuan Saint Venerable, the other Saint Venerable, the ancestor of the Lu Family wouldn’t agree with what Jueyan was doing.

Then, why was Jueyan’s unhappiness directed at him?

No wonder after that he felt that every word and action of Jueyan’s was a little weird.

Saint Venerable was naturally unhappy about that.

With everything becoming clear, the feeling of uneasiness and annoyance faded.

He hesitated and moments later he still shook his head, “Their marriage is already set, so how can I go against it so easily? I will help pass the message over to Country Ruler Xuanhua.”

Although this move was a little risky, he wanted more lifespan so he could improve his cultivation.

Moreover, if he died, his remaining descendants needed someone to care for them.

Saint Venerable didn’t bother about matters and Yanyuan Saint Venerable was slowly phasing out of the Saint Dynasty. He also had some animosity toward Lu Hanyan over the Fire Hummingbird matter.

On the other hand, the Xuanhua bloodline was really strong and was undoubtedly the top of the Saint Dynasty.

Even if he couldn’t become the Saint Emperor, the next Saint Emperor would definitely be under his control.

With the 3 Country Rulers working together along with End Realm Saint Venerables helping from the outside, there was no way he would lose at all!

Even if Lu Hanyan’s case was overturned, it wouldn’t affect his foundations.

Moreover, Xuanhua and Tianqing were connected really deeply, so how could they just be so easily torn apart?

There were many things that if they came to light would cause him to end up in an unsalvageable situation.

He could only take a risk now.

As expected, Jueyan’s expression changed. His gaze turned dark and sunk down as he looked coldly at Lu Tianqing.

He smiled but it wasn’t really a smile as much as killing intent exploding out. He tried his best to suppress it. Moments later, when he spoke his tone was calm as ice, “Lu Hanyan has spent 24 years in the Nether Jail and also suffered the punishment of the Red Hummingbirds. Moreover, her son is in jail serving time on behalf of her. This can make up for her sins...”

After saying this, he said with deep meaning, “As for you Tianqing, you didn’t fully take care of the Death Jail and you abused your power. I will inform the Saint Dynasty to remove you from your post. You can head over to receive your punishment!”

Lu Tianqing listened on carefully, his expression was really calm. A mocking expression appearing in his eyes instead.

This Saint Venerable was still worried about things deep down and didn’t immediately kill him.

It seemed that it was true that Xuanhua Country Ruler had End Realm helpers!

It was far from the stage when both sides would go all in. Although Jueyan was furious, Xuanhua’s methods were really amazing too. He might even cause Saint Venerable to have a change of mind in the end.

When he headed over to the Punishment Hall to get his punishment, even if it was a little heavier, it didn’t matter much.

He had already informed Xuanhua and he would definitely do what he could on his part.

The situation looked risky but it was in fact really safe.

Lu Hanyan’s body shook as she looked at Jueyan in shock.

Her son was serving her sentence for her within the jail? What did he mean?

She felt extremely worried, her heart was filled with fear. She didn’t even think and directly asked, “What does Saint Venerable mean by my son is within the Death Jail?”

Jueyan laughed and didn’t reply.

Lu Tianqing raised his brow and then his lips curled up, slightly shaking his head, “Does Princess Hanyan still not know? 10 days ago, you met him once. Who knows what the situation was over the 10 days that I left.”

The moment these words were spoken, she felt her head go dizzy and then it cleared out once more.

Like a stick striking a bell, it shattered the Deduction Barrier.

That’s right! That kid, he is my son!

He told me that he was called Zong Shou...

Why didn’t I remember it then?

That kid who Jueyan had such high hopes for, using the Jade Bone Spirit Returning Marrow to heal him up, who was just one step away from awakening the top bloodline of the Lu Family.

Before the change, he nearly burned the entire Nether Jail World, that was her Zong’er?

She was first filled with disbelief. So, her kid actually stepped into the Celestial Realm before 30?

He charged into the Eighth Layer of the Death Jail all alone to find her?

She thought back to the past 10 days, when he tried to break into the Ninth Layer Nether Gate but returned wounded every time. However, even so, he still didn’t give up.

Even at the end, when he became determined to fight to the death...

His body was suffering from the restrictions and was being tortured by the Blood Spirit Curse, but he still wasn’t willing to give up.

He was suffering so much because of her?

Lu Hanyan couldn’t help but grit her teeth, the emotions within her chest were really tough to describe.

She was really surprised and delighted, this sense of happiness overtook everything in her mind.

She felt that all the pain and suffering she suffered during those 20 years was nothing at all.

For this child, even if she was trapped for another 100 or even 1,000 years, she was willing!

She also felt worried and furious. Zong’er didn’t care about his own life at all.

Even if she died, she wasn’t willing to see her son suffer so much.

She looked at Jueyan in rage. Although she could see his face, she didn’t know what he was planning. Only the Extreme Flame Saint Venerable had such methods.

She knew deep down that everything today was because of her child.

Poor Zong’er was going to be dragged down by the Lu Family like quicksand, unable to get out of it...

Jueyan seemed to be planning something but Lu Tianqing seemed to have no idea that Zong Shou was about to awaken the top bloodline of the Lu Family and the mutated World Burning Blood Eyes.

She thought back to what Jueyan said before he left to leave the jail to avoid calamity.

She instantly understood. The laws in the Nine Extreme Death Jail were strong and firm, only the Sky Burning Flame wasn’t restricted and it was instead greatly strengthened.

It restricted normal kinds of Daos and laws.

The World Burning Flame on the other hand was even above it!

The moment it broke out, it would definitely burn the Nine Jail Worlds!

Who knows what would happen to the other 8, but that Death Jail World was probably going to be destroyed.

Lu Family definitely wanted this rare bloodline evolution chance, not only were they unable to stop him, but they were happy to see it happen.

Then, Tianqing Venerable who was guarding the Death Jail...

She was startled, she still didn’t dare to believe her own conjecture.

However, the gloating expression in that girl’s eyes and Jueyan’s mocking intent wasn’t fake.

“You speak too much!”

Jueyan waved his sleeves unhappily, “You can leave! Just don’t regret your choice today.”

Lu Tianqing’s eyes were filled with a cold mocking intent once more. To say that it was a choice, but what choice did he even have?

He didn’t say anything more, bowing to Jueyan once more and saying “Forgive me Saint Venerable”, before he headed for the Nine Extreme Death Jail.

Before Jueyan told the Saint Court to remove him from his post, he was still the guard of the Death Jail.

However, after just a few steps and he heard Jueyan’s voice spread from afar.

“Take good care of Zong Shou. I hope that he is fine in the Death Jail and that his life isn’t at risk...”

Lu Tianqing’s body stopped, his brow furrowed as he was in deep thought.

Then, he shook his head. He had predicted everything.

The only thing he didn’t expect was that Xuanhua would recruit outer race Saint Venerable helpers who would trigger this Extreme Flame Saint Venerable.

Not only did he rescue Zong Shou and Hanyan, but he also gave Lu Beiwu a chance to come back.

He calmed himself down. Although this matter didn’t totally proceed as he intended, it could be considered settled.

He didn’t suspect anything, breaking open the space and stepping into the Eighth Layer once more.

The moment he stepped in, he was totally stunned.
