Chapter 44: Luo Yunshang Detained, Father and Son of One Heart!

"The other clans are all waiting outside, and they have all brought gifts, waiting for your return."

"I told them to leave, but they all said that if you don't return, they won't go."

Lu Tianyu was slightly startled: "I will go back right now."

One hour later.

Lu Tianyu returned to the Donghuang Star residence: "Father, wouldn't it be fine if you stepped forward to send them away?"

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head with a bitter smile: "They insist on handing the gifts to you personally."

"Especially Li Tiancheng, the Ancestor of the Li Clan; he has led all his clansmen to kneel on the ground for three days and three nights, and I cannot drive them away."

He patted Lu Tianyu on the shoulder: "They are likely all here for the sake of Bahuang Laozu, assuming that your relationship with Bahuang Laozu is good, and that befriending you is equivalent to befriending Bahuang Laozu."

"There are even rumors outside saying that Changmei Laozu has advanced to the Void Cave stage; otherwise, he would not dare to challenge the Nether Sect."

"Yu'er, your reputation in Bahuang has reached its peak this time; it is more appropriate for you to step forward."

"Go, just do as you see fit."

Lu Tianyu was slightly startled: "Their imaginations are truly rich."

"By the way, where is my mother?"

He had found a phoenix hairpin-style Spirit Treasure from the Storage Ring of the Black Bone Ancestor, and wanted to give it to Luo Yunshang.

"Sigh!"

A look of melancholy and helplessness appeared on Lu Jiuyuan's face: "Three days ago, your mother went to the Xuanqing Star Domain to seek help."

"Luo Qianqiu has detained your mother and will not let her return."

He then let out a long sigh: "It is better for your mother to be over there; it is safe."

"What?" Lu Tianyu was shocked, but he understood immediately.

His mother, Luo Yunshang, was the daughter of Luo Qianqiu, the Sect Master of the Xuanqing Sect, the largest sect in the Xuanqing Star Domain.

At the time she married over, Sect Master Luo Qianqiu had not agreed.

But Luo Yunshang insisted on marrying Lu Jiuyuan, and since Luo Yunshang was already pregnant with Lu Tianyu, the news had already spread.

Helpless, Luo Qianqiu could only agree.

However, ever since Luo Yunshang married over, she rarely had contact with the Xuanqing Sect, as the main family looked down upon the Donghuang Clan, a clan on the verge of decline.

They were disdainful of associating with people from the Bahuang Clan.

Now that Bahuang was facing a crisis of annihilation, Luo Yunshang had lowered her pride to go back and seek help, and Luo Qianqiu, fearing that something might happen to her, had directly detained her and would not let her leave.

Lu Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "The crisis my Bahuang Star is facing is only temporary; I will definitely find a way to resolve the crisis within a year."

"Father, you don't need to worry; once I have made arrangements, I will go and bring Mother back."

He had originally wanted to go to Diling City first to look for his great-grandfather.

But seeing his father's somewhat pale complexion, he wanted to go and bring his mother back.

Lu Jiuyuan's expression changed upon hearing this, and he grabbed Lu Tianyu's hand: "Yu'er, this time you must listen to me; do not go to the Xuanqing Star Domain."

"The Kulu Zong has united with the Diling Sect and the Tianling Sect to seal all exits of the Bahuang Star Domain; once you go out, you will be discovered immediately!"

"Your father has contacted Dumu Kunshan of the Dumu Star Domain; perhaps he can help us."

As he spoke, his eyes were somewhat evasive.

Dumu Kunshan was a person who would not release the hawk until he saw the rabbit, and he had already made exorbitant demands of him.

The condition was to cede the Donghuang Star Domain and live on a barren planet designated by Dumu Kunshan, only then would he provide protection.

Not only that, Dumu Kunshan also wanted to contact Bahuang Laozu through Lu Jiuyuan; if he wanted his help, at least half of Bahuang would have to belong to the Dumu Sect.

With Changmei Laozu away, the burden of the Donghuang Clan had fallen onto his shoulders, and the pressure was immense!

But as the Clan Head and a father, he had to shoulder this burden; at the very least, he had to ensure the clansmen survived first.

Lu Jiuyuan decided to agree to Dumu Kunshan's request and cede the Donghuang Star Domain.

Lu Tianyu shook his head immediately: "It would be good enough if the Dumu Star Domain didn't kick us while we're down; it is impossible for them to help us. We cannot leave the Bahuang Star Domain!"

"Father, you don't need to worry; we still have one year, and we will definitely find a way!"

Having undergone Soul Dual Cultivation with the Qian Gu Nu Di for one hundred thousand years, he was no longer that naive youth from before, and he saw through everything very clearly.

Lu Jiuyuan firmly denied it: "Yu'er, you must not go out; promise me!"

"If we cannot find a way within a year, even if I have to risk my life, I will send you out!"

He gripped Lu Tianyu's hand tightly, his expression incomparably firm.

He had only this one son, and he would not allow any mistakes to happen to Lu Tianyu.

How could Lu Tianyu not understand Lu Jiuyuan's worry: "Father, even if you risk your life to send me out, how could I live on in shame?"

"Father, please rest assured; I will not go without being certain."

He fabricated a reason: "Bahuang Laozu controls the Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array and can send me out safely."

"The Changheng Academy will hold its final selection in three months; if I can successfully enter the Changheng Academy, the siege of the Bahuang Star Domain can be resolved."

With the Bahuang Star facing such a crisis, he did not know if the Changheng Academy would still recruit him into the Academy under these circumstances.

After all, he was only in the top ten of the star domains outside the Changheng Star Domain; he had only secured a spot and had not yet officially entered the Academy.

He had to go to Diling City as soon as possible.

In order to persuade his father to let him go out, he could only come up with this reason.

At worst, he would risk entering the Kulu Zong, trigger the Underground Demon Cave to cause the Kulu Zong to collapse, and make them the public enemy of the Changheng Star Domain!

Of course, he would not do this unless it was the final moment.

The Dark Star Territory and the Bahuang Star Domain were adjacent; once the Kulu Zong incident occurred, the Bahuang Star Domain would also be implicated.

Lu Jiuyuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "If you can become an official disciple of the Academy, the Nether Three Sects at the very least will not dare to deal with us openly."

"At critical moments, one still has to rely on one's son; I, as a father, can do nothing."

In recent days, he deeply felt that his son had more of his own ideas than he did, and he even had a vague feeling that he was relying on his son.

This made him feel incomparably proud; his son had grown up.

The Council Hall.

Lu Tianyu had the representatives of each family bring in their gifts: "Leave the gifts, and you may return!"

He had to accept these people's gifts; otherwise, they would surely let their imaginations run wild when they returned.

He was also not prepared to disclose the matter of Ancestor Changmei not yet having advanced, which was also to stabilize people's hearts.

Everyone was dumbfounded and stood frozen on the spot: "Huh?"

"That's it?"

They had thought Lu Tianyu would at least say a few words.

They could have taken the opportunity to inquire about how Ancestor Bahuang intended to deal with the Nether Three Sects, so they could make plans for their next steps.

But they never expected Lu Tianyu to tell them to leave directly!

We contributed most of the spirit veins from our clans, after all.

Seeing this, Lu Tianyu immediately said in a deep voice: "What, do you still have business?"

He did not have even the slightest bit of affection for these families.

If he hadn't been prepared, he would have been captured and killed by Soul Searching by these people in the Manghuang Forest, and the Donghuang Clan would have fallen apart because of it.

As for making these families provide Spirit Stones, it was only right; if the Eight Desolations Demon-Suppressing Array were not activated, all these people would die.

It was already generous enough that he wasn't charging these people for their lives.

He was not the type of bleeding heart!
