Spirit Galaxy, on a very large star.
There were many cities on this star. Just the number of large cities alone exceeded a hundred. Each of them was comparable in size to the imperial capital of the Four Great Empires, or even larger. The entire star was shrouded in blood light, just like the sunlight on the Immortal Star. The blood light contained a powerful death energy, and under the illumination of the blood light, the people here were able to live normally and were not affected at all.
The people of the Spirit Race were naturally not affected by the death energy. On the contrary, the blood light was an important source of cultivation for them.
Among the hundreds of large cities, the largest one was naturally the most important place in the entire star. It was also where the ruler lived. Even the people of the Spirit Race who could live in this city were not ordinary people. Not only were they powerful, but they also had a very high status.
At this moment, a spatial fluctuation appeared in the city. Following that, two people walked out. They were the two people who had just returned from the Heavenly Star River. The person called 'Brother Ding' was led by the other person to the center of the city. The area of the center of the city was very large, even larger than the average city. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a city within a city. After quickly entering the center of the city, they quickly came to a courtyard and stood outside the palace.
Just now, this person only said that the 'higher-ups' were looking for him. However, to 'Brother Ding', 'higher-ups' meant a lot. Generally speaking, as long as one was at the Heavenly King Realm, they could be said to be 'higher-ups'. However, he did not expect that the person who wanted to meet him would be this person!
Just this star alone had many Heavenly King Realm experts, and the owner of the palace in front of him was ranked in the top five in terms of strength and status. He could be considered one of the highest echelons in the entire star!
In the past, 'Brother Ding' had never spoken to this higher-up. Even if he had seen him before, he had never been summoned. After all, he did not have the qualifications. It was not that he had never received a mission personally given by a Heavenly King Realm expert, not just a few times, but many times. However, it was always the weaker ones in the Heavenly King Realm who gave him the order. He had never truly faced this true expert.
It was impossible to say that he was not nervous. Even so, 'Brother Ding' took a deep breath to calm himself down. He walked up the steps of the palace and stood outside the door. He cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Junior Lu Ding requests an audience!"
That's right, 'Brother Ding' was surnamed Lu. Lu Ding was his name!
In the Spirit Galaxy, the surname 'Lu' was not a common surname. This was completely different from the Immortal Planet! The eight surnames of the Hachiko clan were Fu, Gao, Li, Chu, Liu, Li, Xiang, and Jiang. However, on the entire Immortal Planet, people with these surnames could be found everywhere. They were not exclusive. Not to mention the Immortal Planet, after the Sengoku civilization was popularized in the Milky Way, the number of people with these eight surnames in the entire Milky Way was completely uncountable and immeasurable. But in the Spirit Star River, the situation was completely different.
For example, the Huo Clan, which had once attacked Lu An, was the only clan with the surname Huo in the entire Spirit Star River. In other words, as long as one had the surname Huo, they must have come from this clan. Surnames were strictly controlled, and no one dared to use the same form. If anyone dared to use the word 'Huo', they would immediately become the enemy of the entire Huo family and be hunted down by the Huo family.
It was the same for the Lu Family.
In reality, the Lu family was more powerful than the Huo family. The people who had gone to the Huo family and asked them to help kill Lu An were from the Lu family. If not for the fact that the Lu family was more powerful and intimidating, they would never have asked the other clans to help clean up this mess. In the entire Spirit Race, the Lu family was one of the top clans. Its status in the Spirit Race and the Spirit Star River was so high that it was not even comparable to the Kang Clan's status in the Hachiko clan and the Heavenly Star River.
To put it bluntly, if the Lu family of the Spirit Race and the Kang Clan of the Hachiko clan were to fight, the Lu family would be injured, but the Kang Clan would definitely be wiped out.
Because the Lu family's status was so high, the existence of the people from the Lu family was even more mysterious. Up until now, the Lu family had not participated much in the war and only acted in the dark to gather information. Up until now, no one from the Hachiko clan had been caught. Because of this, Fu Yu had never heard of the Lu family.
After Lu Ding bowed, a voice came from the palace and said, "Come in."
"Yes!" Lu Ding accepted the order and raised his hand to push open the palace door. After entering the palace, he closed the door and stood at the door to face the front.
The interior of the palace was not luxurious, but it was filled with an extremely solemn and dignified mood. At this level, the so-called luxurious things were not even worth looking at. What they cared about was strength and mood. Every layout of the entire palace was related to the mood.
Just by standing there, Lu Ding could feel the huge pressure generated by the solemn mood. He did not dare to do anything and only had the qualifications to follow orders.
Forcefully withstanding the pressure, Lu Ding cupped his hands again and said respectfully to the person sitting on the high seat in front of him, "Greetings, senior."
The person sitting on the high seat opened his eyes. When Lu An saw this, he immediately felt his Sea of Consciousness shake violently. It was as if a pair of incomparably huge eyes had appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. His Divine Consciousness was under the pressure of this pair of huge eyes, and he did not dare to move his Divine Consciousness at all!
"I asked you to come because I have a task for you," the person sitting on the high seat said faintly. Although his tone was not heavy, it made Lu Ding feel as if every word was hitting his sea of consciousness heavily, like the evening drum and morning bell. He had no choice but to listen to every word very clearly and remember every word.
"Senior, please speak," Lu Ding said respectfully.
The person sitting on the high seat looked at Lu Ding's performance under pressure and was satisfied. He said calmly, "Clean up the family and kill Lu An."
Boom!!!
These words immediately caused the interior of Lu Ding's Sea of Consciousness to explode. It was blank!
The person sitting on the high seat did not deliberately use force to say these words. It was the content of these words that shocked Lu Ding so much! His expression obviously changed, and his gaze also changed. He looked at the person sitting on the high seat in disbelief!
Why was it him?
Indeed, his strength was not bad. In terms of his realm, he had reached the peak of the Celestial Realm. However, in terms of strength, he was not considered the best in the entire Lu Clan. It was even difficult for him to enter the top five. Realm did not represent everything. There was also the comprehensive consideration of the use of strength, the degree of understanding of spirit arts, combat ability, and so on. Only then could one judge a person's true strength. He knew that the clan would have to clean up the family sooner or later, but he really did not expect that this heavy burden would fall on him!
Looking at Lu Ding's shocked expression, the person sitting on the high seat asked indifferently, "Are you afraid?"
"I'm a little afraid." Hearing this, Lu Ding immediately came back to his senses. He cupped his hands and said honestly and respectfully, "I'm not afraid of Lu An, and I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid that I can't complete the mission and embarrass the clan."
Even Huo Lue from the Huo Clan could not take down Lu An. Lu Ding and Huo Lue had crossed paths before. Huo Lue had always been cautious, but he still could not take down Lu An. Moreover, he had already alerted the enemy, causing Lu An to be on guard. In addition, now that an all-out war had begun, Lu An would definitely be more careful. He was afraid that he would not be able to kill Lu An, and instead bring bad reputation to the Lu Clan.
"It's indeed not easy to kill Lu An, but you don't have to feel too pressured. I'll give you two years. It's enough for you to use all your methods, "the person sitting on the high seat said." Also, do you know why we chose you? "
'We'?
Lu Ding's heart tightened. It seemed that the person in front of him was not the only one who wanted him to take action. It was a joint decision made by many higher-ups. Even the clan leader might be involved. Therefore, he could not understand why he would give this matter to him when he had a better candidate in mind.
Lu Ding dared not delay any further. He immediately shook his head and said honestly, "I don't know."
"It's because your personality is very similar to Lu An's," the person sitting on the high seat said calmly.
'Very similar in personality?'
Lu Ding was obviously stunned. He immediately lifted his head and looked at the person sitting on the high seat. His face was filled with confusion!
"Your personality is calm, reserved, and not good with words. Lu An is the same," the person sitting on the high seat said. The man on the high seat said, "Based on the information on Lu An, the two of you have very similar personalities and styles of doing things. We've done our research. If you want to kill Lu An, strength isn't the key. You're strong enough, and you can find someone to cooperate with you at any time. Based on our previous experience, we think that people with similar personalities have a higher chance of succeeding. Because of this, we've chosen you after many rounds of selection. "
