560: miscellaneous servants

This way, the scope for searching for the Key Figure became vast, potentially including everyone except for the Descenders.

So, would it be difficult to find the Key Figure?

Not necessarily!

Back then, Lu Li was able to find the next Key Figure at an extremely fast speed after his previous one died.

This meant that the so-called Key Figure must possess some very obvious characteristic.

Since every previous one was found accurately, there was no reason he wouldn't be able to do the same.

In terms of strength, Chen De was stronger than all the previous ones combined.

In terms of morality, Ancestor Lu had inherited Chen De's most righteous side, which was also beyond what those few fellows could compare to.

Honestly, from the very beginning, the others didn't stand a single chance of winning.

After the unification, to demonstrate the benevolence of the Baisheng Cult, he chose not to engage in large-scale construction, but instead focused on recovery and growth.

"You may all leave now."

He raised his hand and dismissed the leaders of the major powers, sending them off to carry out his orders.

"We obey your decree!"

The crowd withdrew one after another, and soon he was the only one left in the great hall.

At this moment, he stood up from the imperial throne and headed out of the court as well.

Leaving the palace!

Whether it was searching for the bronze statue or the Key Figure, Ancestor Lu had to take action personally to see for himself.

Now that the forces were integrated and orders had been issued, it was time for him to set out.

Lu Li always felt a bit uneasy about leaving all the tasks to others.

It was better to handle many things himself; even if he failed in the end, he would be at peace with it.

Stepping out of the imperial palace, he reached a street not far from the palace gates.

Ancestor Lu suddenly had a strange sensation, causing him to stop and look toward the source of the feeling.

In an alleyway, there was a young man who, judging by his attire, appeared to be a Menial Servant of the Divine Sword Sect.

He had no cultivation at all and was just doing menial chores here, possessing no status whatsoever.

The Imperial Capital was being rebuilt, with everything waiting to be revived; the first step was to move in a large population.

Being the major powers, their subordinates were naturally the first to be brought in.

As for some less-than-dignified tasks, they were left to those with low status within the organizations.

Currently, this laborer was being bullied by an Outer Sect Disciple leading a group of miscellaneous disciples.

"Speak, are you a son of a bitch?"

"Your father disappeared right after you were born; he probably realized you weren't his own seed."

"Hey, I heard he has a sister who's quite pretty. Should we have him call her out to play with us?"

"I heard she's only twelve, so..."

"Isn't that just perfect?"

"I heard his mother is also quite good-looking, still possessing her charm!"

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing them insult his mother and sister, the laborer lying on the ground looked up blankly.

A murderous glint appeared in his eyes as he stared intently at the two laborers who had just mentioned his mother and sister.

"Yo, look at that, he actually dares to glare at us?"

"Kid, I know you're not resigned to this."

"How about this." One of the laborers spread his legs and pointed to his crotch, saying, "Come, crawl through here, and I'll let you off today."

Another laborer came up behind him and stuck out his shoe. "After you crawl through, lick my shoe clean, and we'll call it even for you glaring at us just now."

"We can do that too?"

"Haha, then let's try it too!"

Seeing the first two act this way, the remaining laborers followed suit and lined up behind them.

Each person had their own 'event'; it was quite a diverse lineup.

Meanwhile, the Outer Sect Disciple just stood aside with his arms crossed, a smile on his face.

A mere miscellaneous disciple actually dared to offend him?

He didn't even need to lift a finger; his subordinates could handle it.

Ancestor Lu was also watching, but he really couldn't muster any interest in such boring things.

However, why did that bullied laborer give him such a strange feeling?

This was definitely not normal. Could it be... Vaguely, a suspicion formed in Ancestor Lu's mind.

After he made a decision, he suddenly felt a surge of Noble Spirit gathering in his chest.

In the dignified Pilgrimage Capital, right under the feet of the Baisheng Cult, such filthy things were actually happening.

How could he face the common people of the world with this, and how could he face the Supreme Holy Mother?

Ancestor Lu had inherited Chen De's most righteous side, so he could not tolerate even the slightest injustice.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, one of the laborers let out a piercing scream, his hands clutching his neck tightly.

He tried to pry open the mouth biting into his neck, and the other laborers rushed over to help upon seeing this.

It turned out that the bullied laborer had deliberately crawled in front of him, making him think he was going to crawl through.

Seizing the opportunity, the boy suddenly stood up, opened his mouth, and bit down hard on the man's neck.

Once he bit down, he was like a snapping turtle, refusing to let go even in death.

Blood from the bitten laborer seeped through the boy's teeth, quickly covering both of their necks.

The other laborers tried to pull them apart, but the bite was so tight that using force might actually kill the one being bitten.

So they repeatedly pummeled the laborer's body and head, but he still stubbornly refused to let go.

The Outer Sect Disciple, who had been watching the show, finally moved. Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit.

He had clearly given the boy a chance, yet the boy didn't know how to treasure it; he was simply seeking death.

At the same time, Ancestor Lu also moved; he would not allow this evil to continue.

With a reach of his hand, he captured everyone surrounding the laborer.

The terrifying power left them unable to resist at all; they didn't even know who had attacked.

The Outer Sect Disciple hurriedly shouted, "Senior, please stay your hand! We are disciples of the Divine Sword Sect."

However, when he finally saw the appearance of the person who had acted, he was completely stunned.

Indeed, he recognized the newcomer as the Leader of the Baisheng Cult, Ancestor Lu.

The figure to whom even their sect master and the leaders of all major powers had to kneel in submission.

As for Ancestor Lu, would he care about the identity of a mere Outer Sect Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect?

As for why he recognized him, it was because when these forces moved into the city...

...a grand assembly was held for everyone, and Ancestor Lu had attended in person.

From a distance, he had been fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of Ancestor Lu's appearance.

What was originally something to be proud of now made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Lea- Lea- Lea- Leader..."

After recognizing Ancestor Lu, the Outer Sect Disciple desperately wanted to beg for mercy, but he became incoherent.

The gap between them was too vast, as nerve-wracking as an ordinary person from Chen De's past life meeting the President of Earth.

"What are you shouting for?" Ancestor Lu frowned. "You disgraceful thing."

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, the Outer Sect Disciple and his laborer lackeys were all reduced to ashes.

The Holy Light of the Baisheng Cult was truly too intense; anyone even slightly evil would be turned to ash under its radiance.
