453: Chapter 453 Recapture of White Cloud City (Part 4)

For a moment, Lu Zheng's face became extremely unsightly.

The worst-case scenario had still happened.

"Hide."

Lu Zheng said to Shi Guangyu. Seeing General Lu Zheng like this, Shi Guangyu realized that something terrible was happening, and in his panic, he found a room and hid inside.

He then hid himself under the bed, not daring to breathe loudly, closing his eyes and praying.

For General Lu Zheng to act like this, it must be that the so-called cult Saint had appeared.

"He didn't even bother to conceal his aura at all. Does he think he can take me down with absolute certainty, or is he just too confident in himself?!"

Feeling the increasingly distinct aura, Lu Zheng muttered to himself, immediately suppressing his presence to the absolute minimum and hiding in the shadows.

With his parents in the enemy's hands, he couldn't act rashly, nor could he just stand here and wait for him to arrive.

And his greatest trump card was his own strength.

As of now, no one knew exactly how powerful he had become.

A moment later, the Alien Holy Son appeared, with Lu Zheng's parents by his side. However, just as Lu Zheng had suspected, he didn't take him seriously at all.

He didn't even take any precautions or defensive measures, simply letting his formidable aura and pressure spread wildly, as if to announce his arrival to everyone here.

"Lu Zheng, I know you are here. I will give you a chance now."

"Submit to me and join my cult, and everything that happened before can be written off."

"I see that you are a talent, which is why I don't want to drive you to a dead end. You humans have an old saying: those who understand the times are wise."

Standing in the street, the Alien Holy Son's voice echoed out. Within his Perception, the human who had fled, General Bu Keer, was nearby, so Lu Zheng must be here as well.

To him, Lu Zheng had merely caught his attention; it was far from enough to make him act cautiously.

That was why he was so brazen.

Although no one had ever seen Lu Zheng fight with his full strength, he had learned from others in Baiyun City that Lu Zheng was stronger than City Lord Li Xin and General Bu Keer, but not by much.

Even when those humans, City Lord Li Xin and General Bu Keer, joined forces, they were no match for him. Even though his current strength was compromised, with Lu Zheng's parents in hand, he could definitely take him down.

There was no need to search for him either; Lu Zheng would deliver himself to him.

But as his voice fell, there was no response. The Alien Holy Son couldn't help but sneer; it seemed Lu Zheng was hiding very well.

Within his Perception, everything here lay bare before him: the trembling figure hiding under the bed not far away, and even a weak aura in a basement in another corner.

That must be General Bu Keer.

Yet, he did not sense Lu Zheng's aura. It seemed Lu Zheng had found a way to conceal himself. He wasn't particularly surprised by this, as there were many things that could hide one's aura.

Especially in this revived ancestral land, it was nothing unusual.

He then looked at Lu Zheng's parents, Lu Chuan and his wife, beside him.

The father, Lu Chuan, knew what the Saint meant and nodded hastily, then spoke up loudly.

"Son, come out."

"We have nowhere to run now. Don't make any more futile resistance. Even if we escape from Baiyun City, where can we go?"

"Listen to the Saint and submit to the Holy Cult. This is the only way we can survive."

"Your mother and I are both waiting for you."

"Be a good boy, son, and come out quickly. Submit to Lord Saint. I believe the Saint will not treat you poorly."

The father, Lu Chuan, shouted loudly, but even so, there was still no movement in the surroundings. Seeing this, the Alien Holy Son couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious.

Still no reaction?

Could he have already left and is no longer here?

He continued to sweep his Perception over the surroundings but still found nothing. With a sneer, regardless of whether Lu Zheng was truly absent or just pretending, he let out a cold snort.

"Since you won't come out, let's see if you can really sit still!"

His gaze swept over Lu Zheng's parents, Lu Chuan and Ji Lanze, and without any warning, he made a move against the mother, Ji Lanze, slapping toward her.

Although it was just a slap, it contained terrifying power.

If this slap landed on her, she would surely be shattered to pieces.

It was clear that the Alien Holy Son was not holding back at all.

"Stop!"

"I'm coming out!"

At the critical moment, Lu Zheng's voice finally rang out. A figure slowly walked out. Seeing this, the Alien Holy Son smiled slightly, his palm stopping just five centimeters away from Ji Lanze.

"As expected, you are a filial son."

"Wouldn't it have been better to come out earlier? Why did you make me wait until now!"

"You wouldn't want your father and mother to die right in front of you, would you? Be obedient, and the two of them might just live."

"But I am very curious, what exactly did you use to hide from my Perception?"

The Alien Holy Son said with interest as he looked at the appearing Lu Zheng. However, though he spoke casually, he was actually extremely cautious, keeping the mother, Ji Lanze, and the father, Lu Chuan, close to him.

At the slightest sign of trouble, he could strike immediately and use their lives as leverage.

Although he didn't care about a native like Lu Zheng, he didn't want to suffer an unexpected defeat, so he remained cautious.

Lu Zheng had originally planned to hide in the shadows and find an opportunity to rescue his parents from his grasp first. But he hadn't expected this man to strike at his mother directly, leaving him with no choice but to reveal himself.

"Don't lie to me, or your mother's life will not be spared."

The Alien Holy Son directly choked Ji Lanze's neck and said to Lu Zheng, a playful look flashing in his eyes.

"It's the time tower. I have a spirit tool that can help me hide my aura."

A look of struggle flashed across Lu Zheng's face, but seeing his mother in the other's hands, he finally spoke. Seeing this, the Alien Holy Son was very satisfied; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

"Good. Throw that time tower you mentioned over to me."

The Alien Holy Son continued, staring intently at Lu Zheng. His hand choking Ji Lanze's neck didn't loosen in the slightest. Fearing that Lu Zheng might still have some hidden cards, he demanded that the time tower be thrown over.

Hearing the Alien Holy Son's words, an incomparable rage flashed in Lu Zheng's eyes. If looks could kill, this Alien Holy Son would have died countless times already.

His veins bulged, and his fists clenched tightly.

But in the end, he slowly relaxed his palms and let out a sigh. As if his energy had been completely drained, the time tower emerged in his hand.

The Alien Holy Son wanted to wear down this man's spirit bit by bit until he became a completely submissive subordinate.

Lu Zheng steeled his heart, seemingly about to throw the time tower, but the sharp-eyed Alien Holy Son's voice rang out once again.

"I forgot to tell you, your parents are now members of my Divine Cult. Even if I tell them to die right now, they won't hesitate for a second."

"You, the filial son, must be absolutely obedient. Don't try any little tricks."

"So, I want to see you sever your contract with this time tower with my own eyes before you throw it over!"

"Otherwise, the two of them will die right before your eyes."
