Chapter 116: Terrifying Family Background

……

"Wouldn't they think about capturing me to threaten them into showing themselves?" Lv Cheng asked.

"They don't dare take that risk," Asharuiya said.

"If they captured you first, and your mother were still alive, the Holy City would become a battlefield. Given the destructive power your mother displayed back then, even though the Archangels have the strength to take her down, the Holy City would absolutely suffer unimaginable destruction!"

"The Holy City is of great significance to the Holy Judgment Court and cannot afford any mistakes. If an accident really happened, even the Archangels could not bear that responsibility."

"So many years have passed; with your mother's talent, she must have reached the Forbidden Curse level by now. She had that kind of destructive power back then, and now..."

"The risk is too great."

"Moreover, it is not convenient for them to make a move."

As she spoke, Asharuiya looked at Lv Cheng with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Lv Cheng asked.

"Do you know how you obtained your status as a Councilor?" Asharuiya asked.

"I don't." Lv Cheng shrugged.

"I just mentioned it casually at the time; I didn't expect them to actually give it to me."

"This matter indeed has the influence of that former Holy City High Priest you know, as well as the influence of your parents. After all, the Holy City is currently at odds with many organizations and its relationship with the Magic Palace is not great either. So, they harbor ulterior motives toward you, giving you the status of one of their own so you can go and stir up trouble for the Holy City," Asharuiya said.

"However, the most direct connection is your uncle."

"..."

"Huh?" Lv Cheng looked bewildered.

"How did I suddenly end up with an uncle?"

"You know about the Asian Magic Association, right?" Asharuiya said.

"Su Lu, the Councilor with the most prestige in the Asian Magic Association, is your uncle."

"When you caused a scene at the Magic Palace, news about you was reported up. I received the news at the time and, out of curiosity, I looked into it, and that's when I discovered this secret."

"No, it doesn't count as a secret. It seems to be information released by the Holy City, because Continental Councilor Su Lu is very much at odds with the Magic Association Council Speaker of this country, Shao Zheng. They should be trying to stir up trouble."

"I just didn't expect Continental Councilor Shao Zheng to agree directly..."

"..."

Listening to Asharuiya's explanation and analysis, Lv Cheng's expression gradually became strange.

What the hell?

How is his family background getting more and more exaggerated?

His father is a Holy Judgment Court Judge, his mother is a Heterodox Mage and a Space Element Calamity, and now an uncle pops up, a top-tier Forbidden Curse Mage?

And Su Lu, Boss Su, the strongest boss in humanity.

With things like this, if he hadn't gotten involved with the Demon, and just developed normally based on his own talent... wouldn't he have to conquer the world with Boss Su?

He really was born with the fate of a villain!

……

Under the illumination of the Sun Magic Tool, Lv Cheng and his group passed through the land of the Undead quite smoothly and arrived at Yangyangcun, an ancient village that strangely existed unscathed within the land of the Undead.

"What is going on here?" Mo Fan looked suspiciously at the messy pile of abandoned wood at the bottom of the hillside.

"Are you playing us?" the bearded attendant said with a hint of anger.

"I don't know what's going on either!" the short man said in a panic.

He was guiding a Councilor this time; how would he dare to pull any tricks!

The burly man on the side saw the vanished Yangyangcun and ran toward the bottom of the hillside in a frenzy.

"It must have been attacked by the Undead. Are there any other villages nearby?" Lv Cheng asked.

"There are, but they are a bit far," the short man said.

"The nearest one, Hua Village, is still two days' journey away."

"Then let's go. Even if the people here aren't dead, they should have migrated. Staying here is useless," Lv Cheng said.

Hearing this, the short man went to comfort the burly man, and the group set off again on the journey to Hua Village.

The road was long, and the group began to chat.

Lv Cheng walked very close to Asharuiya, and they kept exchanging glances along the way. Although they didn't speak aloud, everyone likely guessed that the two were whispering using the Psychic element, and no one dared to interrupt.

Liu Xian and Liu Ru followed quietly about two meters behind Lv Cheng, holding hands, and seemed not the least bit displeased by Lv Cheng's behavior.

The others, including the short man, expressed their envy one after another.

To be able to flirt with someone new while bringing a pair of sisters along—he is truly worthy of being a Councilor!

"However, although Su Lu is your uncle, my personal advice is that you should stay away from him for now," Asharuiya said.

"Consider it my warning; this person is very dangerous."

Su Lu and the previous Goddess of the Parthenon Temple, Yi Zhisha, had close dealings of interest, and the interest group led by Su Lu was even one of Yi Zhisha's supporters. She was not sure if Su Lu had participated in that incident back then.

Because the relationships between these forces were very complex. The Holy City was full of Yi Zhisha's minions, while the relationship between Su Lu and the Holy City could only be described as average, or even mutually antagonistic. She was not sure if this was just an act, as the Holy City had indeed become increasingly overbearing over the last hundred years, and the Magic Associations in many places were already dissatisfied with the Holy City, but they did not show it too obviously due to the Holy City's powerful military force.

However, world-class organizations like the Asian Magic Association did not need to be so subservient to the Holy City.

"I understand," Lv Cheng nodded.

"So, you've said so much, it's time to name your price, right?"

Many of the things Asharuiya revealed actually belonged to world-class secrets. Just take the matter of his parents; even Song Qiming and Pang Lai were unwilling to tell him much, let alone anything about his uncle.

Lingling had also investigated privately before, but she couldn't find any relevant information at all.

At most, she had managed to learn a little bit about his mother from Bao Laotou; there was nothing else.

"The price..." Asharuiya paused.

If it weren't for the matter of her foster father Wen Tai, Lv Cheng could have possessed the most superior and noble background in this world. However, because of the events back then, too many people were buried along with it, and Lv Cheng was also abandoned by his helpless parents in a small, obscure place, growing up all alone.

There are some things she finds inconvenient to say; even if Lv Cheng's parents were still alive, they could not appear, because only while their life or death remains uncertain and their whereabouts unknown will the Holy City not act rashly.

It is not that the Holy City lacks the power to deal with Lv Cheng's parents, but rather that they fear Su Meng going insane!

Because Su Meng's destructive power is truly too terrifying—she is a Calamity User who has already fully matured.

The Archangel has the ability to kill Su Meng, but cannot stop the disaster she brings; this is the true terror of a Space Element Calamity.

If Su Meng is killed, the Space Storm she triggered would not only fail to disappear, but would instead become even more frantic because it has lost its source of control!

Back when Su Meng triggered the riot, the reason she, a heavily injured Super-level Mage, could take the half-dead Lv Chengze and escape from a place like the Holy City, where Forbidden Curses are everywhere, was because of her ultimate move; at that time, Su Meng was only heavily injured, yet the power of the Space Storm multiplied several times over—if she were to die, that thing would truly be completely out of control.

It is also for this reason that the Holy City did not even stop her at the time.

After all, she did not directly launch a rebellion against the Holy City; she was only trying to save someone back then.

Since the Archangel did not make a move, the Heterodox Mages below would certainly not make a move either.

However, after Su Meng insisted on leaving the Holy City, she was no longer a Heterodox Mage of the Holy City.

She was just a Calamity User, a heretic.

As for that Continent Councilor Su Lu, she does not think that person would have much blood affection for Lv Cheng.

Or rather, only if Lv Cheng displays sufficient value, such as his current extraordinary talent, will that Councilor care about this nephew he has not seen in a long time.

However, Lv Cheng is no pushover either; she is actually looking forward to seeing how the relationship between these two will develop in the future.

Will they join forces? Or will they scheme against each other?

She is not yet certain of Lv Cheng's attitude, but Su Lu's scheming against his nephew has already begun.

At this moment, the Magic Association of this country is likely already arguing incessantly...
