Lu Jinyan sat in the secret chamber for several hours. If the Lu Family's Ancestor wasn't in trouble, then he would've received a reply. But now, there was nothing. Lu Jinyan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He now thoroughly understood that the proof was nothing but a lie. The reason why the Holy Court chose him was because the Lu Family's Ancestor was gone. Even if the Lu Family's Ancestor was destroyed, no one would stand up for them. They wouldn't bring any trouble to the Holy Court.
However, the people of the Holy Court didn't expect that Zhao Hai and the others would intervene. This completely disrupted their plan. If there wasn't an anti-Holy Academy alliance, then the Puhe City would've been destroyed by now.
But now, the problem was that the Lu Family's Ancestor was gone. How could the Puhe City survive? Not only did they have to consider the issue of survival, but they also had to consider the survival of the Lu Family.
This was definitely not an exaggeration. In the world of Spiritual Weapons, everything was so realistic. If your clan had a River Breaking Realm expert, then your clan would prosper in a short period of time and could even snatch other people's city-states. If your clan's River Breaking Realm expert passed away or died in an accident, then you would have to think carefully about what your clan would do in the future. In such a situation, there were generally only two ideas. One, find a backer, a very big one, so that others would not dare to touch you. Two, when others came to deal with you, don't resist and just give everything in your hands to them. Perhaps they would even give you face and let you become a rich man. This was the world of Spiritual Weapons.
But now, the one who wanted to deal with them was the Holy Court. And the Holy Court had already said that they killed Tang Fei. This meant that the Lu Family had a great enmity with the Holy Court. The Holy Court would absolutely not let them go. In this case, if they surrendered, then there was only one consequence, and that was death. The Holy Court wouldn't hesitate to kill them in order to establish their prestige.
As for finding a backer? In this world, was there a stronger backer than the Holy Court? Originally, finding the Holy Court as a backer was the best choice. But now, the Holy Court was attacking them. Even if he wanted to find a backer, he couldn't find the Holy Court. If he didn't find a backer, then not only would he be unable to protect Puhe City, but the Lu Family would also be finished.
Although Lu Jinyan's face was ashen, his head didn't stop moving. He was thinking about how to deal with this situation.
Lu Jinyan couldn't help but sigh. Then he left the secret room and returned to his study room. He sat there in a daze.
The accident of the Lu Family Ancestor seemed to have drained Lu Jinyan's spirit. Although he was desperately trying to think of a way, his mind was a mess, and he couldn't think of anything.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside Lu Jinyan's study. Then, a voice said, "City Lord, there's an important news."
When Lu Jinyan heard it, it was Chen Guohua's voice. He weakly said, "Come in." Chen Guohua nodded, then he pushed the door and entered the study room.
Upon entering the study room, Chen Guohua stared. This was because he saw Lu Jinyan sitting on a chair. The current Lu Jinyan was completely different from the Lu Jinyan he saw a few hours ago. Although Lu Jinyan had a sad expression on his face, his spirit was very good, and he was full of fighting spirit. But now, Lu Jinyan looked completely different. His spirit seemed to have been drained. Although he was sitting there with no expression on his face, his temperament had completely changed. Chen Guohua could clearly feel the decadent aura coming from him. This made Chen Guohua's expression change.
Chen Guohua looked at Lu Jinyan and said, "City Lord, what happened to you?" Naturally, Chen Guohua was startled. He knew that if Lu Jinyan gave up at this time, then everything would be over.
Lu Jinyan looked at Chen Guohua and sighed, "Guohua, you're the person I trust the most. I don't need to hide anything from you. While I was eating with Zhao Hai and the others, I sent a letter to the Old Ancestor. However, I haven't received a reply yet. I have an agreement with the Old Ancestor. If he doesn't reply within an hour, then it means that something has happened to him. It's been a few hours since I sent the letter to the Old Ancestor, but I still haven't received a reply. You should know what's going on now." Chen Guohua nodded, then he looked at Lu Jinyan.
You should know now. "Chen Guohua stared, then his expression changed. He looked at Lu Jinyan and said," City Lord, is what you said true? "
Lu Jinyan nodded, then he sighed and said, "Do you think that I would joke about this at this time? You should understand now. Even if we escape the calamity of the Sacred Courtyard, Puhe City would still be in danger. Not only Puhe City, I'm afraid that our Lu Family would be in danger as well. Guohua, I think you should make a plan early. "
Chen Guohua certainly understood Lu Jinyan's intentions. Lu Jinyan wanted him to leave as soon as possible so that he wouldn't be implicated. However, Chen Guohua didn't want to leave just like that. He had received Lu Jinyan's great kindness. Moreover, after becoming Lu Jinyan's aide, Lu Jinyan trusted him very much. No matter how big or small the matter was, Lu Jinyan would always discuss it with him. Now that Lu Jinyan was in trouble and needed him, if he left at this time, then Chen Guohua wouldn't be alone.
Chen Guohua didn't respond to Lu Jinyan's words, he just frowned and stood there. After some time, his eyes suddenly lit up. Then he looked at Lu Jinyan and said, "City Lord, I'll tell you the news that I just received. This news might surprise you."
Lu Jinyan looked at Chen Guohua's appearance and couldn't help but be puzzled. After hearing the news, although Chen Guohua was startled at first, he calmed down quickly. This made Lu Jinyan feel surprised. However, Lu Jinyan still looked at Chen Guohua and said, "What's the matter? Tell me, I really want to hear what other news can surprise me."
Chen Guohua looked at Lu Jinyan's appearance and smiled faintly, "I just received news that around the Lost Soul city-state, 15 cities suddenly announced that they would leave their original city-states and voluntarily join the Lost Soul city-state. The Lost Soul city-state's acting City Lord, Feng Lihua, has also received the applications of these cities. In addition to changing the garrison of these cities and making them abide by the laws and regulations of the Lost Soul city-state, the City Lords of these cities would be able to retain their positions."
Lu Jinyan stared blankly at Chen Guohua, he was still somewhat puzzled. After some time, he opened his mouth and said, "You mean to say that 15 cities left their original city-states and voluntarily joined the Lost Soul city-state?"
Chen Guohua nodded and said, "Right, it can be said that the Lost Soul City-State didn't have to spend a single soldier to obtain 15 cities. Now, the Lost Soul City-State has already sent troops to those cities to take over their defenses." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right. It can be said that the Lost Soul City-State didn't have to spend a single soldier to obtain 15 cities. Now, the Lost Soul City-State has already sent troops to those cities.
Lu Jinyan suddenly stood up and muttered, "Too crazy, too crazy. I knew that Zhao Hai would help us because he has a purpose. He wants to use this opportunity to expand. Everyone's eyes are focused on us. Although this news is big, I'm afraid that the other city-states wouldn't care about it. After this war, Zhao Hai would have already digested all of the city-states. Nobody would be able to take them away from him. Fierce, brilliant, such a fierce method."
What a brilliant move. "After speaking up to this point, Lu Jinyan suddenly stopped. Then he looked at Chen Guohua and said," No, you wouldn't suddenly talk about this news for no reason, especially at this time. Do you want to …? "
Chen Guohua looked at Lu Jinyan, then he smiled faintly and said, "City Lord, the City Lords of those cities have already joined the Lost Soul city-state. Now, they have become the City Lords of Lost Soul city-state, moreover, this position is hereditary. If you also join the Lost Soul city-state, then your position would certainly be higher than theirs. Even if you can't control Puhe city-state like you do now, I'm sure that the Lu Family can be preserved. If Zhao Hai's mind is big enough, then you might even be able to retain your City Lord position.
Lu Jinyan didn't say anything, he just kept pacing around the room. He was thinking about Chen Guohua's words. Lu Jinyan understood Chen Guohua very well. Chen Guohua can be said to be resourceful. Most importantly, he was very loyal. Although Chen Guohua's proposal made Lu Jinyan's position as City Lord become someone's subordinate, one must know that this was the best method so far.
The death of the Lu Family's Ancestor would cause a lot of things to happen. Even if they managed to repel the attack of the Sacred Court, what would the other city-states do when they know that the Lu Family's Ancestor was dead? They would certainly try to divide the Puhe city-state. At that time, what would happen to the Puhe city-state? The Lu Family wouldn't be able to do anything about it. If things went wrong, the Lu Family would be ruined.
Perhaps some people would say that the Puhe city-state still had a lot of Void Dance Realm experts. Lu Jinyan could organize these Void Dance Realm experts to fight against those who wanted to annex the Puhe city-state. Even if they couldn't kill them, they could at least make them feel some heartache. At that time, maybe he could rely on his own strength to defend the Puhe city-state. Even if the Puhe city-state was occupied, it would still be better than being someone else's subordinate.
However, Lu Jinyan didn't think of this from the beginning. The reason why he didn't think of using those Void Dance Realm experts to stabilize the Puhe city-state was because he knew that once those Void Dance Realm experts knew that the Lu Family's Ancestor was dead, their loyalty would be greatly reduced. Maybe the first ones to betray the Puhe city-state and the Lu Family would be those Void Dance Realm experts. This kind of thing happened more than once or twice in the Spirit Weapon World.
In the Spirit Weapon World, although it was very difficult for the lower to defeat the upper, it wasn't completely impossible. Just like in the Puhe city-state, this kind of thing could happen. When those Void Dance Realm experts heard that the Lu Family's Ancestor was dead, they wouldn't be able to suppress them. Maybe they would turn around and kill the Lu Family. Even if they couldn't snatch the position of the Lord of the Puhe city-state, they would still be able to snatch it. From then on, they would be able to live a free life and go to another city to establish their own family.
