237: Headquarters' decision

Lu Ze listened to Huan Shen's words, but had no intention of responding.

His expression was also very calm, not stirring up a single ripple.

However, these words completely touched Qin Wan and Beast One, who looked at Lu Ze with deep and dark gazes, as if harboring some hidden thoughts!

Huan Shen retracted his gaze and left the place directly.

The light in mid-air disappeared, and everything returned to darkness.

In the huge underground cage, there were no more words, only the shallow and deep breathing of the many living beings.

Beast One and Qin Wan were both pondering Huan Shen's words. If Lu Ze was the son of Lu Qianfeng and Qin Yuze, then the situation before them would change!

Just as silence reigned, suddenly!

"Puff!"

A muffled sound suddenly rang out in the darkness, attracting the attention of Qin Wan and Beast One!

They quickly looked in the direction of the sound. Although the surroundings were dim and nothing could be seen, they could determine that it must be Lu Ze's side!

"Hey, kid, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Wan tentatively spoke.

But the reply was still a muffled "Puff" sound, like a struggle!

"Roar!"

The low growl of a Demon also followed!

A soaring Sword Qi burst forth, completely suppressing the low-growling Demon!

The Soul inside Qin Wan's body was a Human Demon, so she could naturally communicate with Demons and understand their language. With that low growl, Qin Wan also understood what Lu Ze was doing!

He was killing the nearby Demons!

But why?

Everyone stayed in their own cages, not disturbing each other. Why bother killing the Demons in the nearby cages?

Qin Wan couldn't figure it out.

Beast One also took advantage of everyone's attention being drawn by these sounds, and subtly hid himself a little further into the corner, his hands behind his back, crushing a spirit talisman!

The dark runes on the talisman flashed, and under the cover of Beast One's huge body, it didn't attract anyone's attention.

Once the talisman was completely destroyed, Beast One's tense body relaxed, and he continued to observe Lu Ze's side.

For a full twenty minutes, Lu Ze finally killed all the Fourth-Level and Fifth-Level Demons in the surrounding cages!

A Tier 4 Demon could earn one thousand Demon Points, while a Fifth-Level Demon could earn five thousand Demon Points.

When Lu Ze crushed the last Fifth-Level Demon, the System also sounded.

【Congratulations, Host! Your current Demon Points are: 62000!】

Lu Ze asked the System in his mind, "Can I use Demon Points to directly retrieve my sword and other items?"

【Yes! After System detection, the Host's Fierce Evil Broadsword, Demon General, and Stinging Thunder are currently in a confined state! The Host can use 20000 Demon Points to ignore the confinement and forcibly recall the Host's items!】

【System Reminder: The Host has been released from the Heavenly Punishment state, so the Host will receive normal rewards!】

【The Host killed Xuanyuan Sect, and the reward is being issued normally! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: Heavenly Dao Self-Enlightenment!】

As the words fell, Lu Ze suddenly felt as if something in his mind had been abruptly opened. A subtle power was guiding him, leading him in a certain direction.

Lu Ze sat down cross-legged involuntarily and began to comprehend everything around him.

This ethereal power led Lu Ze to a place he had never seen before. The surroundings were like a sea of stars, yet also like a peerless immortal Realm!

At this moment, Lu Ze completely entered a state of meditation!

In the dim cell, besides breathing, no other sound could be heard!

Qin Wan and Beast One also quieted down.

"He's in meditation, no, he seems to have comprehended."

Qin Wan's hoarse voice sounded, as if stating a fact, and also as if sighing.

"I didn't expect Lu Ze, at only twenty years old, to already be able to enter such a Realm. Heh, it's probably too late for the Demon Subduing Division to decide to capture him now."

Beast One remained in the corner, silent, but his eyes were like torches, staring in Lu Ze's direction. He was waiting, waiting for his clansmen who received his message to proceed with the next plan!

...Seven days passed in a flash. For seven whole days, Lu Ze remained cross-legged in meditation, showing no signs of waking up.

Outside, however, the world had been turned upside down!

First, the Demon Subduing Division Headquarters suddenly issued a notice to all Human Bases, informing everyone about Lu Ze's background and stating that Lu Ze's cultivation was powerful, and once his Demon Bloodline truly Awakened, he would become a huge hidden danger!

It also added many past incidents of people with Demon Bloodlines, after Awakening, rising up and harming the Human Race.

As a result, many people believed that Lu Ze was a dangerous individual. Even those in Xuanyuan City who had received Lu Ze's favor now had some wavering in their hearts.

Deep down, they didn't quite believe it, but with the spread of rumors, the idea that Lu Ze would become a Demon and endanger Huaxia became deeply ingrained and irrefutable. Many people, though they said they believed it, felt a great sense of regret in their hearts.

Fu Liang, far away in Yanjing, learned of this matter immediately. Before he could take any action, he was locked in his room by Xiang Tianliu. Outside the door, three Seventh-Grade experts guarded him strictly. Xiang Tianliu issued a death order: if Fu Liang took half a step out, he would be directly killed!

Lu Ze's matter had reached a point where it was no longer something they could decide or participate in!

Following this, three days later, the Headquarters once again issued another order to the entire Human Base!

It was decided that Lu Ze would be executed in Nüwa City a month later!

Although this order appeared calm on the surface, without any fluctuations, countless people were secretly shocked by it. For a time, many people began to work tirelessly on this matter!

...Underground, somewhere outside the Human Base!

A person in a gray robe hastily pulled out a specific token and entered this new city, which was not yet fully built!

He ignored the greetings from everyone along the way, his face anxious, and ran towards a certain place.

"Commander! Something has happened! A huge incident has occurred!"

His urgent cries attracted the attention of many people.

Zhong Sheng emerged from his cultivation, looked at the newcomer, and frowned, "What happened?"

The person paused, panting, and said, "The Monarch, the Monarch has been captured by those humans and will be executed soon!"

"What?!"

Zhong Sheng immediately stood up, and the others who heard were also extremely shocked.

The person immediately told everyone all the information he had received.

After listening, Zhong Sheng's expression was very grim. After a brief contemplation, he stepped forward a few paces, stood in front of everyone, and declared loudly: "All new city residents with cultivation above Fourth-Grade, put down your current tasks, gather all resources, and tomorrow, follow me to the old site of Nüwa City to ambush and rescue the Monarch!"

"Yes!!"
