Chapter 145

Yes, I remember.

The black-robed man below heard this and immediately nodded: "Make them develop suspicion, if possible."

"During this North Sea Hunt, we will directly cause internal strife, even to the point of them attacking each other."

He knew that what he had to do was to constantly sow discord.

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng's smile grew ever richer.

To him, Lu Zhenxuan's qualities didn't matter; what mattered was the so-called Lu Family Divine Son.

Back when he was at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, he had originally obtained an Immortal Divine Weapon, his fame unmatched for a time.

Relying on that name, he would surely draw everyone's attention in the world, but who would have thought that in the end a celestial sword would fall from heaven, and moreover Duobao Zhenren himself would appear, completely overshadowing the glory that should have been his.

All of this is because of Lu Zhangsheng; how could Wang Teng not keep it in mind?

Of course, there is an even more important point: the other party's mother.

He already had a grudge with his own mother.

Since he is a son.

He naturally has the duty to settle all grudges.

However, Wang Teng clearly knows that it is very difficult for him to truly fight Lu Zhangsheng.

Leaving aside that the other party is merely a one-year-old child, even if not.

The gap in cultivation between them is still considerable.

Moreover, in the current world, there is an unwritten rule: peers are not allowed to directly fight when their strength differs too greatly.

Doing so would be considered bullying the weak with strength.

It would break the rules.

Then an elder generation would step forward.

Thus, in Wang Teng's heart, he still feels quite regretful.

He feels that only by personally defeating Lu Zhangsheng would he obtain what he needs.

But perhaps there is no such opportunity; Wang Teng will not let the other side grow to that extent.

Immediately, Wang Teng stopped thinking further, turned his gaze downward, and said directly: "Alright, you may go back; otherwise, Lu Zhenxuan will become suspicious."

"Yes."

The black-robed man nodded.

He then turned into a beam of light and vanished.

Soon afterward, he landed on a certain street within the city.

He slowly removed the black robe, revealing a youthful face.

The aura emanating from him, though not strong, was extraordinarily profound.

It goes without saying that his talent and strength are also very formidable.

Otherwise, he could not have become a follower of a Saint-Child Rank Person.

"From now on, we only need to wholeheartedly complete the task," Wang Tianfeng said, looking into the distance, speaking softly.

Although he is also a member of the Immortal Wang Family and possessed extraordinary talent from childhood, he differs from Wang Teng in that...

... he is not a direct-line member, so he was sent out early, with the purpose of finding a way to lurk among the major powers.

In fact, such people exist in the ancient aristocratic families and all the major holy lands; there is nothing strange about it.

Wang Tianfeng, however, lay low in the Lu Family and became the Fifth Line Celestial Son, a follower of Lu Zhenxuan; during this time he concealed himself deeply, revealing nothing, gradually gaining the other's approval.

Moreover, his own talent is quite good; now he has become one of Lu Zhenxuan's most trusted aides.

The news of Lu Zhangsheng leaving the Lu Family for training was also secretly spread by him.

Now things are proceeding very smoothly.

Therefore, in his heart...

... he is also very excited about this.

He knows that as long as he completes the task, he will certainly be favored by the family and receive various rewards.

There's no way around it; since he is not a direct-line member, to obtain more resources he must do this.

Immediately, Wang Tianfeng took a deep breath and entered another courtyard.

This place is also very large, with pleasant scenery, and there are formation after formation.

The surrounding heavenly and earthly spiritual energy continually gathers.

If some cultivators of low realm enter this place, they will certainly be able to cultivate extremely quickly.

"You're back?"

However, just as Wang Tianfeng had just entered, a cold voice sounded.

Turning his head, he saw a man in blue robes, hands clasped behind his back, standing in a courtyard, appearing very refined, yet his whole person now exuded a mighty aura.

Seeing this, Wang Tianfeng's heart jumped, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered.

He stepped forward, gave a slight bow, and then respectfully said: "Celestial Son."

That's right.

That blue-robed man.

is the Fifth Line Celestial Son of the Lu Family, Lu Zhenxuan.

At this moment, he turned his head, and golden light burst from his eyes.

As he slightly narrowed his eyes, divine power began to surge from his whole body, as if it could shake heaven and earth.

Lu Zhenxuan thus looked at Wang Tianfeng before him and slowly said: "Speak, what did Wang Teng entrust you with?"

Upon these words.

Wang Tianfeng's whole body shook violently at once.

He felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar and began to tremble.

"Your identity—I actually knew it all along. I originally thought that with me suppressing you, you'd behave yourself, and leaking some unimportant information would be fine, but you absolutely should not have revealed the matter of the Divine Son."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhenxuan's face suddenly showed a chilling killing intent.

"Celestial Son, I'm doing this for your own good. You were originally one of the strongest among the younger generation of the Lu Family."

"If there truly is a Divine Son, it should have fallen to you, but now it's been taken by a child who hasn't even grown teeth yet—I'm speaking out against this injustice for you."

Upon hearing that his identity had been exposed, Wang Tianfeng's first thought was that he was doomed.

But he was unwilling to admit guilt outright, and instead dropped to one knee.

He tried to justify his leaking of the information.

He claimed everything he did was for Lu Zhenxuan.

As for this excuse.

Wang Tianfeng actually thought it was pretty good, after all—who among the Heavenly Pride would want to be suppressed?

But those words only made the killing intent on Lu Zhenxuan's face intensify.

He took a step forward, and his qi and blood power surged alongside his divine power.

His entire body burst forth with an unprecedented aura.

In an instant.

He appeared right in front of Wang Tianfeng.

He lunged forward without hesitation, grabbed the other's neck, and said, "The Divine Son is the Divine Son—nothing can replace it. And do you really think I'd believe what you just said?"

No sooner had he spoken than his divine power surged and rushed straight into the other's body.

The other instantly sensed a tremendous threat and tried to resist.

But compared to Lu Zhenxuan, his strength was vastly inferior.

Otherwise.

How could he possibly be willing to be a follower?

Pfft—The next moment.

Wang Tianfeng spat a mouthful of blood.

His Qi Sea Dantian was outright destroyed.

The divine power he had painstakingly cultivated also completely dissipated.

"This is what you get for betraying me." Lu Zhenxuan's voice was ice‑cold as he continued, "I've merely stripped you of your cultivation; as for leaking the Divine Son's whereabouts, that's a capital offense—come with me to see the Divine Son."

With those words, he turned into a rainbow light, seized Wang Tianfeng, and shot straight out of the area.

In another hall, Tuoba Yun, Jin Hui Laolao, and the others had just returned from visiting the city lord.

They were just about to go see Lu Zhangsheng.

They immediately sensed a powerful aura approaching.
