380: Come to announce the imperial edict another day?
What Zhuge Rizhao didn't know was that Zhuge Changde had already left the Manor and concealed his heavenly secrets with the Eight Formations Diagram.
He was currently in a special space.
At the very center of this space, a halberd stood upright, ancient and mottled, with countless cracks. At the same time, it exuded endless Evil Qi, and countless chains wrapped around it, sealing this fierce weapon.
"Junior Zhuge Changde, greets the 13th Generation Ancestor!" Zhuge Changde performed the Junior's Rei.
The Eight Desolations Demon-Slaying Halberd trembled slightly, and a phantom, bound by chains, appeared directly above the halberd.
This person was precisely the Zhuge Clan's 13th Generation Ancestor, Zhuge Longteng.
"Changde, why have you come to see me this time?!"
Zhuge Changde bowed respectfully: "13th Generation Ancestor, the Eight Desolations Demon-Slaying Halberd Technique has already been passed down!"
"Oh?"
Zhuge Longteng was clearly delighted: "Is the person who inherited my Halberd Technique little Rizhao? Quick, bring him to see me!
From the first moment I saw him, I felt a connection with him! I never expected it would really be him who inherited my Halberd Technique, little Changde! You've truly given birth to an extraordinary child!"
In the Zhuge Family, every child, after birth, would be brought to this space immediately to let the Zhuge Clan's 13th Generation Ancestor take a look.
When Zhuge Rizhao was young, he naturally came to this place, but that part of his memory was erased.
This space is the Zhuge Clan's top-secret location. Anyone who comes here, except for the Zhuge Clan's Clan Chief, will have their memories erased.
Upon hearing the 13th Generation Ancestor's words, Zhuge Changde's face twitched, and he bowed even lower.
Could Zhuge Rizhao, with his pig-like brain, really learn it?
"Replying to 13th Generation Ancestor, the person who learned your Halberd Technique is not from the Zhuge Clan. He is... he is Rizhao's master."
"Master?!" The 13th Generation Ancestor was clearly stunned, completely not expecting Zhuge Changde to hand over the Zhuge Clan's Legacy to an outsider.
Zhuge Changde clearly felt the terrifying pressure on him and quickly explained: "He is not an ordinary person!"
"How is he not ordinary?" The 13th Generation Ancestor's tone was still cold, "If you don't give me a good explanation, do you believe I'll hang you up and spank your bottom!"
Zhuge Changde instinctively took a step back, clearly having been hung up and spanked many times before.
But, upon closer thought.
He had at least entered the Taiyi Realm.
Out in the world, which power wouldn't treat him as an honored guest and respectfully call him an Immortal King?
As if seeing through Zhuge Changde's little thoughts, this space was quickly filled with powerful energy.
Zhuge Changde was like a small boat in a vast ocean, swaying precariously, on the verge of capsizing.
"Although my body is Sealed and my Divine Soul can only reside within the halberd, you must understand one thing: your 13th Generation Ancestor is still your 13th Generation Ancestor. If I want to spank your bottom, you can't resist!"
As he finished speaking.
Countless Laws condensed into a long whip, fiercely lashing Zhuge Changde's bottom.
One, two, three times... until most of his Qi dissipated, only then did the 13th Generation Ancestor stop spanking.
Zhuge Changde was trembling all over, not because of the burning pain in his bottom, but purely out of shame.
He, a dignified Immortal King, being hung up and spanked, if word got out, his lifetime of prestige would be ruined.
However.
Fortunately, there were no other outsiders here.
"Tell me, what is the background of that person who inherited my Halberd Technique, that you would defy my ancestral teachings and still teach him the Halberd Technique?"
Zhuge Changde, with a bitter face, slowly explained to his 13th Generation Ancestor... The first ray of morning light fell.
Chu Mo slowly opened his eyes, and the incomparably violent aura on his body also subsided at this moment.
"Refreshing!"
Chu Mo got up, stretched his body, and every pore on his body greedily absorbed the immortal spiritual Qi.
Beside him, Zhuge Rizhao got up and came over, "Master! Have you learned the Eight Desolations Demon-Slaying Halberd Technique?"
In fact, he had already learned the final result from his father's mouth.
He was asking now.
Just to flatter him and gain some favorability.
"I haven't learned it, it's quite difficult."
"Master is awesome! You can even... eh? No, you haven't learned it?!"
Zhuge Rizhao had already prepared his flattering words, but who would have thought Chu Mo would say something like that to him.
A series of compliments turned into a muddled mess.
At this moment, Zhuge Rizhao didn't know whether he should comfort his master.
"Master, even if you haven't learned it, it's fine. It's my ancestral Halberd Technique to begin with, so it's normal for it to be difficult..."
"I'm not learning it! One Move is enough! The others are all variations of this one Move anyway, so whether I learn them or not doesn't matter!"
The Great Dao is simple.
The Profound Truth of the Eight Desolations Demon-Slaying Halberd is just one Move; there's no need to practice the other Moves.
Anyway, when fighting, Chu Mo rarely uses small skills; he just goes straight for the ultimate Move.
"..." Zhuge Rizhao truly didn't know what to say at this moment.
Every word from his master could make his brain crash for a while.
"Oh right, where's your father? I have a big business deal to discuss with him!"
Chu Mo had wanted to talk to Zhuge Changde last night, but it was delayed because of the Halberd Technique.
Now, he had to have a good talk.
"I'm not sure. My father's whereabouts are always unpredictable. Perhaps he's currently creating a small account with some woman!"
Zhuge Rizhao was still resentful about last night's incident.
Creating a small account? Then let him create it!
As for the position of Zhuge Family Head, whoever wants to sit on it can. He only needs to cling tightly to his master's thigh.
His future achievements would definitely be higher than that of a mere Zhuge Family Head.
Chu Mo deeply understood Zhuge Changde's desire to create a small account. After all, Zhuge Rizhao's account was already ruined.
It's just that.
Wouldn't there be too many of these accounts?
Zhuge Rizhao's account was already the ninety-ninth.
Was he going to make it a round number?!
It was at this moment.
A commotion came from outside.
Immediately after, a familiar figure, holding a gleaming imperial edict, walked into the Duke Wus Mansion.
"Imperial edict arrives! Where is Duke Wu?"
Eunuch Wang scanned the courtyard but only saw Chu Mo and Zhuge Rizhao, the two of them.
He was clearly stunned.
He hadn't expected the two of them to be here.
"Duke Wu is not here. You can come another day!"
Eunuch Wang: "..."
Announcing an imperial edict, and he could come another day?!
