One person: A hundred years of dormancy to build a long-lived family

Jinhua, Zhejiang.

Lujia Village.

At this time, Lu Ci was sitting in the center of the ancient and solemn Lu Family Ancestral Hall.

Next to him were several elders of the Lu Family.

They were called"elders", but they were actually Lu Ci's children. The eldest son Lu Zhong, the second son Lu Xiao, and the third daughter Lu Ping were all in the most conspicuous positions.

In addition, there were some close relatives of the Lu Family. Although they were also present, they were not prominent because of their distant blood relationship. They could only sit in the back row and had extremely limited right to speak.

In fact, since Lu Ci excluded Lu Jue's lineage decades ago, he successively suppressed many collateral branches. Now the Lu Family has long been dominated by Lu Ci's lineage.

In fact, the Lu Family has developed very slowly in recent years.

The Lu Family can be called the most closed and conservative family in the alien world. They adhere to the strict principle of pure bloodline. There are many close relatives in the family. Even if there is occasional intermarriage with outsiders, it is strictly required that men marry into the family to ensure the continuity of the Lu Family bloodline.

In Lu Ci's words, it is necessary to ensure the purity of bloodline.

Such a closed family is actually unable to keep up with the pace of the times.

Lvjia Village has been through a lot recently.

The cause was the Longhushan incident. Some of the Lv family members were accidentally involved in the conflict between the Tianshi Mansion and Quanxing. There were even rumors that they killed many Quanxing disciples in the battle. This move undoubtedly pushed the Lv family to the opposite side of Quanxing.

After the Luotian Dajiao, people from Quanxing would occasionally secretly attack the Lv family. After all, the Lv family members now have to go out in groups.

The situation became more and more serious. Lv Ci had no choice but to make a major decision to temporarily block Lvjia Village, strictly prohibiting any clan members from leaving without permission, in order to protect the clan members from outside intrusion.

However, one wave has not yet settled, and more bizarre things have followed. The Nadutong branch suddenly launched an investigation into the Lv family, claiming that the Lv family's behavior hindered the company's important plan for Biyou Village.

Zhao Fangxu, chairman of the Nadutong Company, even called Lv Ci directly, hoping to sit down and talk with Lv Ci and let Lv Ci take the initiative to hand over the self-cultivation furnace.

During this special period of time, Lujia Village was completely closed off, and knew nothing about the changes in the outside world, such as the secrets of Biyou Village and the existence of the self-cultivation furnace.

In Lu Ci's eyes, Zhao Fangxu's recent doubts and accusations were completely unwarranted provocations and lacked real evidence.

Lu Ci, one of the Ten Masters, naturally would not give Zhao Fangxu any face and hung up his phone directly.

Although the company is powerful, his Lu family is not afraid at all.

However, these two seemingly unrelated events happened one after another, like a snowball, which made Lu Ci, an old man who had been through many battles, feel unprecedented pressure and distress.

All this was due to the false accusation, and this"mad dog" was somewhat aggrieved.

At first, the reason given by the family for the outbreak of the Longhushan incident was that they had a conflict with the Quanxing sect in order to hunt down Lu Liang, who had defected and was suspected of killing his relatives.

Although this reason was a bit rough, it was still reasonable to some extent.

But the second thing, that the Lu family deliberately obstructed the company's affairs, was groundless and unfounded.

At first, Lu Ci suspected that there was a traitor in the family, but now he has to suspect that there are forces outside who want to harm the Lu family deliberately.

The only thing that can comfort Lu Ci is that his grandson Lu Gong lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully captured Lu Liang who had defected to Quanxing.

Lu Liang has always been the target of Lu's family because he is suspected of brutally killing his beloved sister Lu Huan.

Now, it is a good thing that he can be brought to justice.

……

"Dad! You can't hesitate any longer. The future of our family depends on this."

The eldest son, Lu Zhong, said with a tense face and excited emotions.

"I think Lu Liang should be severely punished to rectify the family rules and warn those Quan Xing demons who intend to violate the dignity of our Lu family.

Only in this way can they understand that anyone who dares to provoke our Lu family will pay a painful price."

Lü Gong and Lü Liang are both descendants of Lü Xiao, the second son of Lü Ci. They are not of the same origin as the eldest son Lü Zhong. This blood difference has invisibly exacerbated the interest disputes within the family.

Although Lü Ci has always adhered to the principle of"family interests first" and maintained the superficial unity of the entire Lü family with his own unfathomable strength, this false harmony based on power cannot last long.

Over the years, the power struggle within the Lü family has never really stopped.

Today, Lü Ci is old, and the successor to the position of the head of the family has become the focus of attention from all parties, and the decision lies in the strength of the heirs.

Since the death of Lü Huan, the most sophisticated person in the younger generation of the Lü family who has mastered the art of soul enlightenment is none other than Lü Liang, followed by Lü Xiao. Both of them are descendants of Lü Xiao.

If Lü Liang is not restrained or eradicated, Lü Xiao's lineage will undoubtedly take over the position of the head of the family smoothly.

Facing Lü Zhong's aggressive accusations, Lü Xiao looked stern and responded calmly:

"Big brother, you are too harsh. No matter what, Lu Liang is a member of our Lu family. So far, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Lu Liang was responsible for Lu Huan's death."

Lv Zhong heard this and sneered, his words were full of doubt and dissatisfaction:

"If it's not him, then you should stand up and tell everyone who it is? All the clues and evidence we have investigated over the years point to Lv Liang!"

""Shut up!"

Just as the tense atmosphere was about to reach its peak, Lu Ci suddenly shouted, and a strong internal force burst out instantly as his palm slammed heavily on the seat.

It was like an invisible shock wave that rushed directly to Lu Zhong and Lu Xiao. Seeing this, the two did not dare to neglect it and quickly used their internal energy to resist the impact of this force.

"No matter how bad Lü Liang is, he is still a member of my Lü family, and his blood is also my Lü family's wealth."Lü Ci's cold and low voice echoed in the house, like a sharp ice knife piercing everyone's heart.

"Even if he committed a heinous crime and was demoted to the lowest status in the family, becoming a breeding dog that only serves to continue the bloodline, his life must not be taken lightly."

"What the Lu family values most is family! It's bloodline!"

Lu Ci is an absolute tyrant in the Lu family. When he speaks, no one dares to murmur.

There was a long silence.

Lu Ci looked at Lu Gong at the back of the room.

"Xiao Gong, you captured the man, what is your opinion?"

In fact, Lu Gong should not have the right to speak in such a family meeting. But because he was responsible for capturing Lu Liang and he was the only one who knew the situation in Longhu Mountain at that time, he had the opportunity to speak.

At this moment, Lu Gong's heart was filled with deep contempt and helplessness for the Lu family. Faced with the upcoming huge crisis, the Lu family not only failed to work together, but also harbored selfish motives and attacked each other. This scene made him feel very sad.

Compared with the united Xiao Lu Village, the performance of Lujia Village is undoubtedly pale in comparison. The gap between the two is more than one level. Behind the seemingly powerful Lu family, the only pillar that can really be called the autocratic one is Lu Ci, who was ruthless and cruel.

However, Lu Ci's attitude towards the bloodline of his clan members, viewing them as tools for reproduction, made Lu Gong feel a strong sense of disgust and nausea.

He realized that both himself and Lu Liang were just tools to achieve family interests and maintain the continuation of bloodline in the eyes of the Lu family.

Thinking of this, Lu Gong's belief became more firm: if they have the opportunity to escape from this family cage that treats clan members as objects of use, it will be their greatest luck and the beginning of their self-salvation.

Great uncle Lu Jue is their real elder!

And the great grandfather Lu Ci is just a mad dog.

"Master, this is what I think."Lü Gong bowed his head and said

"In fact, what I hate most in these years is my younger brother Lu Liang, but you are right, Grandpa, Lu Liang is the pure blood of our clan, and his life and death should not be simply defined."

"The only thing we need to confirm now is whether this kid was captured by me on purpose, with the purpose of sneaking into my Lu family for Quan Xing!"

"After all, this kid has a high level of attainment in the art of soul-lightening. If he uses it to manipulate his clansmen, it will easily cause great trouble to the family!"

After hearing what Lu Gong said, Lu Ci frowned slightly.

In fact, what Lu Gong just said was also what Lu Ci was worried about.

Lu Ci naturally hated the fact that Lu Liang might have killed Lu Huan, because Lu Huan could be said to be the best bloodline of the Lu family.

But now, no matter what, Lu Huan is dead, and Lu Liang is the best bloodline. As long as he is still willing to work for the family, Lu Ci is absolutely unwilling to kill him, and can also forgive the fact that he once joined Quan Xing.

"Lu Gong, if I ask you to use the soul-clearing technique to detect Lu Liang's thoughts, how confident are you?"

Lu Gong smiled and said immediately,"Grandpa! I have made a breakthrough in the soul-clearing technique recently. I feel that I am better than Lu Liang, so it is not difficult to explore his thoughts."

"Even if this bastard modified his own memory, I have the confidence that I can dig it out for him!"

"But the problem is, Lu Liang is also a genius in the art of soul-clearing. I am afraid that he will plot against me and brainwash me. So I hope there can be a senior who also masters the art of soul-clearing to protect me."

"If Lu Liang gets desperate, we can remedy the situation in time."

Lu Ci narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and finally waved his hand and said,"That makes sense."

""Lü Zhong, and Lü Ping, the two of you find ten clansmen who have mastered the art of soul enlightenment in your own lineage, and go with Lü Gong to interrogate Lü Liang!"

Lü Ci had four sons. The eldest son, Lü Zhong, mastered the art of soul enlightenment, while the second son, Lü Xiao, did not. So Lü Ci passed on all his Ruyi Jin to him, and the third daughter, Lü Ping, mastered both the art of soul enlightenment and Ruyi Jin.

In addition, Lü Liang was originally the bloodline of Lü Xiao, and Lü Ci was also worried that Lü Xiao would cover up for him.

So he only let Lü Zhong and Lü Ping handle this matter.

""Yes! Father!" Facing Lu Ci's order, Lu Zhong and Lu Ping answered in unison, with a determined light in their eyes.

Lu Zhong's face flashed with a barely perceptible smile, thinking that since he was allowed to participate in the interrogation of Lu Liang, Lu Liang's fate was already worrying.

He was determined to use a fair and strict attitude to expose Lu Liang's crimes without any favoritism.

"Do this right away and tell me the results of the interrogation as quickly as possible."

After Lu Ci's order was issued, the Lu family's meeting came to a temporary end. Lu Zhong and Lu Ping returned to their own houses and selected a group of descendants and disciples who were proficient in Minghunshu and had extraordinary strength.

-------------------------------------

Soon, Lü Gong, Lü Zhong, and Lü Ping brought more than 10 Lü family disciples who had awakened the Soul-Clearing Technique to the iron gate of the dungeon.

Lü Gong looked at Lü Zhong and Lü Ping confidently and said,"Grandpa, Third Grandma, are you ready?"

"Get ready, let's go into the dungeon."

Lu Zhong glanced at Lu Gong coldly, with a playful smile on his face, and warned:"Lu Gong, you'd better not play any tricks on this matter."

"Although Lu Liang is your brother, everything must be handled impartially in the face of family rules. If it weren't for the mistakes he made, your family wouldn't have been so coldly treated by your grandfather."

After hearing this, Lu Gong also showed a trace of anger on his face.

"Grandfather, please be at ease. I, Lu Gong, hate that bastard Lu Liang the most in my life. His every move makes me hate him."

"But Grandpa also values his bloodline, so we have to give him a good explanation."

""We must all work together for the interrogation."

As he spoke, Lu Gong forcefully pushed open the heavy iron door of the dungeon. The sound of metal friction was particularly harsh in the silent space.

He turned around and warned the Lu family members who had also awakened the Soul Enlightenment Technique behind him with a serious face:

"Brothers and sisters, we have all experienced the strange methods of the Soul Art. When we enter the dungeon later, we must be extra careful~"

However, Lu Zhong in the crowd showed a nonchalant smile, obviously not taking Lu Gong's warning seriously."Okay, Xiao Gong, don't think that only you Lu Liang are proficient in the Soul Art. The rest of us are not vegetarians either."

"Can he control all of us?!"

Lu Zhong's words were full of confidence and arrogance, and he stepped into the dark dungeon without hesitation.

Lu Ping and other tribesmen followed him in, and their figures entered in a line, casting long shadows under the dim light.

But in this tense and depressing atmosphere, no one noticed that Lu Gong, who was at the end of the team, had a subtle and intriguing smile on his face.

"I want you to be careful. You don't take it seriously.……"

"The family has a bunch of rubbish like you, and it deserves to be declining."

After everyone entered the dungeon, he gently locked the dungeon.

In case of an accident, someone would escape by chance...

These clansmen who know the art of soul-clearing are the key to the destruction of the Lu family this time.
