149: Chapter 149 Meeting with the Five Elders!

Outside Linjiang City.

Elder Su hovered alone in mid-air, looking at the large number of flying beast pets blocking the path ahead, lost in thought.

"Are these Lu Chen's beast pets? I am actually unable to discern their information. He truly is a super Prodigy!!!"

He did not force his way through.

With his strength, forcing his way through would naturally be no problem, but his purpose in coming was to win over Lu Chen, not to make an enemy.

Naturally.

He had to restrain his temper, put away his arrogant stance as a powerful figure, and face the father and son of Lu Chen with the demeanor of a Senior Elder.

Not long after.

Lu Chen arrived.

Since The Five Elders had shown themselves.

Lu Chen had no fear of continuing to blockade Linjiang City.

Lu Chen recalled all his beast pets, though the communication channel remained blocked.

Seeing only "Lu Sen" alone and no sign of Lu Chen, Elder Su chuckled: "Lu Sen, when did you become so brave as to come alone? Could it be that Lu Chen is invisible right beside you? Let your son come out; I have come with sincerity."

"It is just a meeting; there is no need for my son to follow."

Lu Chen said, using his father's tone.

"Hm? Your legs have recovered? You took your legs back from the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess?"

Elder Su was shocked.

"Of course. My son is absolutely invincible at the same rank. Not only did he help me take back my legs, but he also killed the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess!"

Lu Chen intentionally mentioned the killing of the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess to observe Elder Su's reaction.

"What? A god was killed by Lu Chen?"

Elder Su intentionally put on an expression of great shock.

This was only because the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess had contacted them some time ago, indicating that she was not dead; Lu Chen had at most killed a Clone of the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess!

"Elder Su, let us get to the point!"

Seeing that this Elder Su was a cunning person and he couldn't spot any flaws, Lu Chen had to get straight to the point.

"Fine! I have played along with you for a bit, so we should get to the point now, kid Lu Chen!"

"!!!"

Elder Su laughed heartily.

Lu Chen shook his head: "Elder Su is truly a top-level authority in the Great Xia, with sharp eyes. It seems my disguise failed to deceive you after all!"

"No! Your disguise was flawless, and I was unable to discern it either, but you are not your father after all. Your father's nature and temperament are completely different from yours."

Elder Su did not mind that Lu Chen had played him; instead, he pointed out the flaw in Lu Chen's failed disguise.

Lu Chen had no choice but to activate the video projection and contact his parents!

Hum!

The electronic projection appeared.

Lu Sen and Chen Rou bowed slightly through the screen: "Lu Sen/Chen Rou, greetings, Elder Su!"

"This is more like it. Kid Lu Sen, you still have the same demeanor as back then!"

"Elder Su is joking. This time, seizing the city and holding Elder Lei hostage was merely to increase our bargaining chips for a face-to-face meeting. Please do not take offense, Elder Su. If the truth is revealed and we are in the wrong, we will naturally bear the burden of our guilt and apologize!"

"Actually, you did not need to do this. If you wanted to discuss the truth of that year, you could have just come to Wuyao City to find me."

At this moment.

Lu Chen had already removed his disguise: "Dad, let us begin!"

Lu Sen nodded.

The pleasantries ended.

Lu Sen suddenly became serious: "Elder Su, back then you suddenly found me and asked me to lead an Epic-level team to the Central Region's Yunlan City to explore the Silent Forest Secret Realm. I felt very suspicious at the time."

"Within the Great Xia, there are so many newly born Five-Star Secret Realms. Why did you want us to explore the Silent Forest? How did you know that this Secret Realm would appear in Yunlan City?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Su also put on a serious expression and said: "Lu Sen, you truly had suspicions from the beginning. That is why, after coming out, you directly proposed to retire to me."

"I might as well tell you this: we already knew in advance that the Silent Forest Secret Realm would appear in the Central Region's Yunlan City, and we also knew that there was a god's map inside the Silent Forest Secret Realm. The reason we sent you to explore it was because we had reached an agreement with the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess in advance!"

"What?!"

Lu Sen and Chen Rou were furious: "You were really raising a god? Using the blood of us younger generation to raise it!!!"

Lu Chen's gaze also turned cold, his killing intent fully revealed.

"Calm down, and listen to me finish. Actually, we were forced to do so. We did not want to do this either, all because we were threatened by the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess!"

"Once, while raiding a high-star Secret Realm, the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess found us and unilaterally and forcibly demanded we make a deal with Her. If we did not agree, all members of The Five Elders Association, including external members, would be cursed by the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess."

"You know how many external members an Eight-Star Guild has. In order to save everyone, we had to reach an agreement with Her."

"The Three-Eyed Mother Goddess told us the location of the Silent Forest Secret Realm and asked us to arrange for 60 Epic-level job-transfer Geniuses to go there, which is why we did that."

Elder Su sighed helplessly: "We thought about compensating the two of you, but after you retired, you left the guild, deleted your information, and disappeared without a trace, so we did not send anyone to disturb your retired life."

"Do you dare to swear on a Rule Contract Scroll? That what you said is not false?"

Lu Sen questioned coldly.

Lu Chen threw out a Legendary-grade Rule Contract Scroll for him to sign.

"Why would I not dare?"

Elder Su signed it immediately.

He sneered in his heart.

It was indeed the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess who first approached them and forced them to make this deal.

But later, it was they who took the initiative to cooperate with the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess, which led to the powerful Nine-Star Guild and The Five Elders Association of today!

Therefore.

Everything he just said was the truth, so he naturally did not fear the oath.

This made Lu Sen and Chen Rou hesitate.

Could they have really misunderstood The Five Elders?

If the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess really threatened The Five Elders with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, then The Five Elders agreeing to this deal and sacrificing 60 people was indeed an act of righteousness.

Because if it were them, they would have done the same.

Seeing that the couple Lu Sen had taken the bait, Elder Su put on a painful expression: "You must have a deep understanding of the power of gods. We had no choice at the time. Although we were forced into it, it is true that because of our decision, you have suffered for over twenty years. As for those who died, we have long since given their families the most generous compensation."

"As for your family, we will compensate you even more, and we will forgive your mistakes of seizing the city and holding Elder Lei hostage. Kid Lu Sen, girl Chen Rou, come back! The Five Elders Association is your home!"

"As long as you come back, I will immediately arrange for you to have Elder positions, and furthermore, I will directly appoint your son Lu Chen as the sixth authority of The Five Elders Association, with a status equal to us Five Elders, and shared resources!"

Elder Su had a good plan!

As long as he recruited Lu Sen and Chen Rou back to The Five Elders Association, it would be equivalent to recruiting Lu Chen.

And at this moment.

Lu Chen frowned.

If this really was the truth, then they indeed had no reason to deal with The Five Elders.

"Wait! I also have a question. I wonder if Senior Elder Su would also dare to sign a Rule Contract Scroll?"

Lu Chen asked.

"Hm?"

Elder Su's gaze narrowed slightly: "Speak freely!"

"After the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess forced you to reach the first agreement, did you continue to reach agreements with the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess afterwards and continue to send people to feed the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess?"

Lu Chen thought that if The Five Elders had only traded with the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess once, then The Five Elders Association could not have become the fourth Nine-Star super guild force in the Great Xia in just over 20 years.

There must be something fishy going on!

"!!!"

Elder Su was not as decisive this time, because they had indeed taken the initiative to rely on raising the Three-Eyed Mother Goddess to become stronger later on!

As for how many people they had fed to Her, they could no longer remember, but it was no less than one hundred thousand, and they were all Genius-level job-transferers.

Lu Sen and Chen Rou's gazes also turned cold: "Elder Su, why have you stopped speaking? My son's question shouldn't be hard to answer, right?"
