"Then, how are we going to uproot the Lu Family?"
Chen Xiaobei asked calmly.
Dong Zhuo said, "To the overlord, the Lu Family is just a tool, a pawn! The reason why the overlord wants to protect the Lu Family is because he does not have a suitable tool to replace them! "
"Are you trying to say that as long as someone can replace the Lu Family and make them useless, the overlord will no longer protect the Lu Family?" Chen Xiaobei immediately understood what she meant.
"That's right!"
Dong Zhuo continued, "The Lu Family's main responsibility is to manage the South Town Star Temple on earth! Other than that, the Lu Family's ancestor is one of the core elders of the temple who is in charge of external battles! If someone can do the same thing, I believe that the overlord will abandon the Lu Family without a second thought! "
"Governor Dong, why are you so sure that the overlord will abandon the Lu Family?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Simple!"
Dong Zhuo explained, "The Lu Family has been managing the South Town Star Temple for a very long time. The Lu Family's ancestor has also reaped a lot of benefits from the external battles!
"However, in addition to fishing for benefits, the Lu Family is also desperately trying to form factions. Many forces are secretly close to the Lu Family!"
For a ruler like the overlord who values power, the most intolerable thing is for his subordinates to form factions for personal gain! Besides, the Lu Family's ancestor also controls part of the military! It's inevitable that the overlord will be wary of them!
Five hundred years ago, the overlord was wary of the Overgrown Forest nobles because they were too powerful! Now, the Lu Family is not as powerful as the Overgrown Forest nobles, but they are very similar!
With the overlord's personality, as long as there is a suitable candidate to replace the Lu Family, he will not hesitate to kill the Lu Family while it is still in its infancy! He will not allow the Lu Family to continue to grow stronger! "
Dong Zhuo's analysis was very detailed. The stakes in this matter were the king's mind and the art of controlling his subordinates!
Chen Xiaobei nodded and asked, "If that's the case, the next most important question is, who will replace the Lu Family?"
"You!" Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao looked at Chen Xiaobei and said at the same time.
"Me?"
Chen Xiaobei asked. "Are the two of you joking? How can an outsider like me replace the Lu Family? "
Wenren Jinghao said, "There are two important factors to replace the Lu family. First, they must have enough strength to convince the masses! Second, enough prestige to convince the masses! As long as we can convince the people of Northern Wilderness Starfield, replacing the Lu Family is not impossible! "
"Strength? Prestige? "Chen was taken aback.
Wenren Jinghao continued, "Strength! Mr. Chen could fend off a million Demonic Beasts on his own, including three demigod level Beast Kings! Who wouldn't be convinced by such strength? "
"Actually, my cultivation is not that strong. I relied on my intelligence to fight against the Demonic Beasts!" Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said.
"Who says that strength must be cultivation?"
Dong Zhuo said, "As the saying goes, those who work with their minds govern others, and those who work with their muscles are governed by others! In the core of the temple, there are many people who hold important positions, but their cultivation is not high! "
"For example, the Chief God's Consecrated Military Advisors, Great Traditional Chinese Doctors, Great Onmyoji... These people's cultivation is weaker than many core elders, but their status is much higher!"
"That's why intelligence is also a part of strength! What's more, your medical skills are even better than that Great Traditional Chinese Doctor! "
"If you really cure Muyue's illness, your name will be known throughout the Northern Wilderness. When that happens, even the Overlord will look up to you!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded. "As long as I get the Golden Purple Jade Dew Lotus, I will definitely be able to cure Ms. Wenren's illness!"
"Mm! That's all for strength, let's talk about prestige! "
Wenren Jinghao said. "During the Overgrown Forest Battle, you single-handedly saved millions of youths. To all the Northern Wilderness nobles, you are already a great hero! As long as you raise your arm and call out to the masses, you will be able to rally them! Most of them will be convinced by you! "
Dong Zhuo continued, "That way, Mr. Chen, you will already possess exceptional strength and unparalleled prestige! As long as we can find the right opportunity to introduce you to the Overlord, there's a high chance that we will succeed! "
Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei grinned and said, "That opportunity might come very soon!"
"What? What do you mean? "Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao were taken aback.
Chen Xiaobei shrugged and said, "This morning, the mothership that escorted us back to the base lost 30 combat space jets! All the core members of the Lu Family, including Lu Mingjun, were sent to prison by the governor of Qianhu, Zheng Xiongfeng! "
"How … How is that even possible?"
Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao were stunned. "Combat space jets are extremely important combat equipment! How could they lose 30 of them? Mr. Chen, are you sure about this? "
"I swear on my honor that this is absolutely true!" Chen Xiaobei said.
"God really wants the Lu Family to perish!"
Dong Zhuo's face lit up with excitement. "The Overlord of Atlantis is already furious! He had no choice but to protect the Lu Family! But now, the Lu Family is asking for it! Thirty combat space jets cost nearly three billion low-grade Spiritual Stones! The Overlord will definitely not go easy on them this time! "
"That's right! In order to stop the Atlantis incident, the Lu Family has sold all their assets to raise a few hundred million Spiritual Stones to rebuild Atlantis! "
Wenren Jinghao said excitedly. "This time, the Lu Family will not be able to pay for the loss of 30 combat space jets! If they can't fill this hole, not only will the Overlord not protect the Lu Family, he will even destroy their entire family! "
Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, "The situation is pretty clear now. It won't take long for the overlord to make a decision on this matter! Once he gives up on the Lu Family, he will be looking for a replacement. This is our best opportunity! "
Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao nodded in unison. "Everything is ready! All we need is the final push!"
…
After everything was settled, Chen Xiaobei asked Dong Zhuo for an intergalactic flight chart and left the governor's mansion in a hurry.
Chen Xiaobei did not return to the secret space to rest. Instead, he used the Somersault Cloud to fly away from Silver Plume City.
Chen Xiaobei had something that he had to settle as soon as possible. And that was to find a new home for the one million Demonic Beasts in the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd.
Chen Xiaobei had saved a million young men and a million Demonic Beasts at the same time by ending the war. That was how he earned 10 million merit points.
