Lu Ming and the others returned to their residence and waited. However, they did not have to wait for long. Three days later, a piece of news came from the Grand Council. Lu Ming was conferred the title of Hidden Dragon Marquis. His clan residence was also upgraded to Marquis Residence, and he was also given a Marquis Residence.
This caused a huge commotion in the Holy Capital.
Lu Ming had become a Marquis. This could be said to be the youngest Marquis in history.
Lin Que was also conferred the title of Marquis, but it did not cause any commotion. Instead, it was treated as a joke.
"This mansion is quite big, isn't it?"
Lu Ming stood in front of a residence and smiled.
There were five words written on the residence: Hidden Dragon Marquis Residence.
In the Taixu Dynasty, anyone who became a Marquis or a Heavenly Lord would be given a residence in the Holy Capital by the Imperial Family.
This was the residence given to Lu Ming by the Imperial Family. It was very spacious and took up an astonishing amount of space. There were layers upon layers of buildings, and one could not see the end of it.
It could even house an army.
Lu Ming walked around the residence and was very satisfied. Then, he brought his people and stayed there. At the same time, he hired a group of people to take care of the Marquis Residence.
Lu Ming had become a Marquis, and the news of Lu Ming and Lin Que's battle quickly spread throughout the Holy Capital. It pushed Lu Ming's reputation to the top.
The youngest Marquis and Lin Que was defeated in seconds. This was too shocking.
Lu Ming was a new batch of students, and he could defeat Lin Que in seconds. Although Lin Que was the last of the Nine General Stars, it was enough to prove that Lu Ming was qualified to be one of the Nine General Stars.
Such a young General Star was amazing.
But soon, the rumors about Lu Ming died down. This was because an even bigger event was about to happen in the Taixu Dynasty.
It was the birthday of the Holy Emperor, which was ten Stellar Years.
At the Divine Lord realm, one could only live for 10 stellar years at most, and this was only in theory. In fact, many Divine Lords would perish from the exhaustion of their souls before even reaching 10 stellar years.
It was already extremely rare for the current Sacred Emperor to live for 10 Stellar Years. Therefore, this birthday celebration would be extremely grand.
At that time, apart from the generals guarding the borders of the Taixu Dynasty, almost all of the big and small powers would be there.
All the Heavenly Kings, Marquises, and Generals would gather at the Great Void Sage Capital to celebrate the Sage Emperor.
Lu Ming originally wanted to return to the Hidden Dragon Star, but after hearing this news, he decided not to go back for the time being. This was because there were only five years left until the Sacred Emperor's birthday.
During this period of time, the number of people in the Holy Capital had gradually increased. Many people from various forces had already arrived in advance.
If he went back, he would have to make a trip back here. Therefore, Lu Ming decided to stay here for the time being and return to the Hidden Dragon Star after the Saint Emperor's birthday celebration.
Anyway, five years was just a blink of an eye to them.
The entire Holy Capital was discussing the Sacred Emperor's birthday celebration. In addition, they were discussing another matter, which was who would inherit the throne in the future.
The Sacred Emperor's lifespan had already reached 10 Stellar Years. If he did not break through, this lifespan was almost the limit. He would not be able to live for long before he died.
However, breaking through was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
One had to know that the Sacred Emperor's cultivation had already reached the limit of a Divine Lord. However, it was extremely difficult to advance any further.
In the history of the Taixu Dynasty, no one had achieved this.
Therefore, the probability of this happening was extremely small.
Once the Sage Emperor perished, who would inherit the position of Sage Emperor?
The Crown Prince? Or the Second Prince?
The Crown Prince was undoubtedly the legitimate successor. However, the Second Prince was very outstanding in all aspects. He was vaguely above the Crown Prince and had many supporters. Therefore, the final result was unpredictable.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ming had been in the Great Void Sage Capital for half a year.
One day, a person that Lu Ming did not expect came to the Holy Capital and looked for Lu Ming.
"Shen Huang, why are you here?"
Lu Ming was surprised and then overjoyed.
Lu Shenhuang had come. Lu Ming had not seen Lu Shenhuang in a long time.
After so many years, Lu Shenhuang's temperament had become even more restrained. Lu Shenhuang had been accompanying Lu Ming's parents and his wife all these years. He had not gone out to fight, nor had he had any fortuitous encounters. However, with the help of some resources that Lu Ming had given him, his cultivation had improved very quickly.
Lu Ming could tell at a glance that Lu Shenhuang's cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of the True God Realm.
Lu Shenhuang had also cultivated the Universe Myriad Dao Art and could control many kinds of divine power. Without any fortuitous encounters, it was already very good for him to have such a cultivation.
"Father, I'm here to see Grandfather and Grandmother. Back then, you sent people to take them away, but there was no reply after so many years. I was a little worried, so I came to see them!"
Lu Shenhuang said.
"What? I took Father and Mother away? "
Hearing this, Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat and his expression changed drastically.
He had not sent anyone to take Lu Yuntian and Li Ping away. How could Lu Shenhuang say that he had sent people to take them away?
Seeing Lu Ming's expression, Lu Shenhuang felt that something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Father, did you not send people to take Grandfather and Grandmother away?"
"No!"
Lu Ming's heart sank and his expression turned ugly. "Shenhuang, what's going on? When did this happen? Tell me in detail! "
Lu Shenhuang also knew the severity of the situation and hurriedly explained in detail.
"About a hundred years ago, a young woman came to find us and said that she was Father's friend. Father had already settled down in the Taixu Dynasty and wanted to take Grandfather and Grandmother over!"
Lu Shenhuang said.
"How can you so easily believe a stranger's words?"
Lu Ming said somewhat anxiously.
"That woman said that she was Father's friend and that they had a good relationship. She even took out a Rest Image Stone with images of Father and Auntie Autumn Moon together. Only then did we believe her!"
Lu Shenhuang said.
"What? She had images of us together? "
Lu Ming's expression darkened. That meant that she must be someone that Lu Ming knew.
"What's her name?"
Lu Ming asked.
"She said she was Cui Wei!"
Lu Shenhuang said.
"Cui Wei, it's her!"
Lu Ming's eyes emitted shocking murderous intent.
He had never thought that this person would be Cui Wei.
When he and Auntie Autumn Moon had just entered the Taixu Imperial Sacred Courtyard, Cui Wei had approached him and made friends with him.
Later, Lu Ming had fought in the Third King God Realm area of the Purgatory Arena and had been hunted down by experts. At that time, Lu Ming had suspected Cui Wei. He suspected that Cui Wei had approached him on purpose and leaked information about him.
Since then, Cui Wei had less contact with him.
He had never thought that she would deceive his parents.
Now that he thought about it, Cui Wei had approached them with malicious intentions. She had secretly recorded the images of them together with the Rest Image Stone.
"Damn it. Shenhuang, draw a portrait of that woman for me to see!"
Lu Ming ordered.
"Alright!"
Lu Shenhuang nodded.
At their level, they had a photographic memory. It was easy for them to spend an hour on a painting. If they were in the secular world, they would be top-notch painters.
