Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 300 Is the Zu Clan About to Be Destroyed? Let's Start with the Mu Clan!

Shao Zheng's pupils contracted sharply, and he felt a cold sweat pouring down his face.

As the speaker, there are almost no secrets that can be kept from him, so how could he not understand Lu Ran's implied meaning?
Within just half a month, the Holy City gathered intelligence that an archangel had descended upon Parthenon to judge Lu Ran.

Is it simply because Lu Ran killed the judge in Parthenon and had the Black Dragon Emperor backing him up?
Obviously not.

If that were all, there would be no need for the three archangels to act together!
According to the intelligence he possessed, someone from the Zu clan had leaked information about Lu Ran's deeds in Kyushu, which had already been classified as secret, to the Holy City.

Why do that?
In Venice, Lu Ran humiliated Zu Huiyin, so he was naturally retaliated against!
Zu wanted to use the Holy City to get rid of Lu Ran, but he didn't expect that even the archangel of the Holy City would mess things up!
In short, Lu Ran and the Zu family are now mortal enemies!

Now, after Lu Ran's words, Shao Zheng was at a loss for words.

As the speaker, he was mindful of the overall situation and certainly didn't want Lu Ran and the Zu family to fight.

But this time, the Zu family really went too far!

They have already extended their reach into the country.

Seeing Lu Ran's attitude, Shao Zheng knew that there was no need for him to persuade her anymore.

Lu Ran even rode the Black Dragon Emperor back to China.

It's no use trying to stop it yourself, is it?
Shao Zheng's astute assessment of the situation led him to make a decision immediately.

Zu clan, you've brought this upon yourselves, so don't blame us for being isolated and helpless!

"Mr. Lu, you're too kind. I'm just here to take a look around Fei Niao City," Shao Zheng sighed, then smiled.

Lu Ran's calm expression faded, and she smiled slightly.

Shao Zheng was sensible and understood the situation, so Lu Ran didn't bother to pay him any more attention.

The Zu clan has already put a knife to your throat, and you're still thinking about peace?

joke!

Previously, they hadn't directly destroyed the Zu clan's power, so they didn't directly retaliate.

And now.
The Zu clan and the Mu clan, those clans that offended him, none of them will escape!
“Speaker Shao Zheng, I have other matters to attend to, so I will not keep you company any longer.”

"Yu'er, come back to the city with me."

After saying something friendly to Qin Yu'er, Lu Ran flew straight towards the center of Feiniao City.

Qin Yu'er didn't even glance at Shao Zheng before following Lu Ran away.

A group of powerful and high-ranking officials were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

"Speaker, he... he's gone too far!"

"Yeah, Lu Ran doesn't take you seriously at all!"

“I suggest that his honorary membership be revoked,” a member surnamed Zu suggested.

Before the man could finish speaking, Shao Zheng interrupted him with a rebuke:

"You bastard, what are you saying?"

The councilor surnamed Zu was stunned. In his memory, Shao Zheng had never shown such a tough side. He was always very kind to everyone and never showed his emotions.
Shao Zheng smiled coldly:

"You don't really think that Lu Ran's return to China this time is just to stay in Asuka City, do you?"

"Your Zu clan can barely protect itself; you might be wiped out of the Nine Provinces one day! How dare you continue to spread such alarmist rumors?"

Shao Zheng's face was cold. He was thinking about what kind of impact the country would have if the Zu family were destroyed.
He was undoubtedly on Lu Ran's side at this moment, intending to minimize the impact as much as possible.

Shao Zheng immediately called a meeting.

The councilor surnamed Zu looked pale.

"The Ancestor, the Ancestor Clan is about to be destroyed?"

"What a joke!"

"Is Shao Zheng serious? No, he's the one spreading alarmist rumors."

"Are you alright?" Qin Yu'er asked worriedly. Lu Ran shook his head.

He understood what Qin Yu'er meant.

It's simply that his affair in Parthenon has become common knowledge.

Everyone knows that he murdered the judge of the Holy Tribunal, but the Holy Tribunal has not taken any action and remains silent!
This event has had a significant impact worldwide, and has even shaken the economic development of Asuka City!
After all, it was Lu Ran who made Asuka City famous!

Once Lu Ran falls, someone else will inevitably take his place; no one would refuse such a coveted prize.

Just when everyone thought Lu Ran would be wanted and tried by the Holy Tribunal.

The Court of Judgment did not take action.

Meanwhile, some high-ranking members of various factions also learned about the Archangel of the Holy City's journey to Parthenon.

The final result is self-evident.

At least Lu Ran is still standing safely in front of the world.

He helped Ye Xinxia ascend to the position of goddess in the Parthenon.

Today, Asuka City's international influence is comparable to, or even surpasses, that of the clan.

It's simply that our foundation isn't strong enough yet; that takes time to accumulate.

Sensing the somewhat heavy atmosphere, Lu Ran joked, "I'm fine, why don't you give me a pat?"

As he spoke, Lu Ran took Qin Yu'er's soft hand and guided it to his own abs.

Qin Yu'er blushed slightly: "You're such a chatterbox. I'm glad you're alright."

In Qin Yu'er's view, the original situation should have been very serious.

After all, it is a fact that the judge of the Holy Tribunal died.

But Lu Ran's current ease made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Since the Holy Tribunal has not taken any action, that is the best course of action.

Some even believe that if the archangels of the Holy City cannot judge Lu Ran, how could the Holy Tribunal possibly be in charge?
This shows that they can't afford to mess with Lu Ran!
"How has the development of Feiniao City been lately?" Lu Ran asked.

Lu Ran entrusted Qin Yu'er with the overall management of the development of Fei Niao City.

He only needs to step in when necessary to help clear obstacles.

Qin Yu'er was silent for a moment, then said truthfully:

"Some time ago, the Zu family made a big show of force, and it seems that Zu Hengyao was in charge."

"At almost the same time, the Mu family also aggressively invaded the economic chain of Feiniao City. They now have a presence in most industries in Feiniao City, and families like Nanrong and Dali are almost all their vassal families."

Qin Yu'er spoke each word carefully, and Lu Ran's face darkened.

Zu Hengyao.
According to Michael, the person who leaked the information to the Holy City was Zu Hengyao.

Is this because they thought he was bound to die at the hands of the archangel, so they popped the champagne early?
As for the Mu family, it's impossible that they didn't know about the archangel's deployment; it's likely that the Zu family shared the information on their own initiative!
Everyone thought he was dead?

Therefore, the Mu family dared to covet Asuka City and take direct action!
As for families like Nanrong and Dali, they are nothing more than dogs that stick out and make noise!

Once the Mu family makes a move, it will have far-reaching consequences. Countless families will be drawn by the scent of food and come to devour Fei Niao City, hoping that while the Mu family gets the meat, they can only have a sip of the soup, thus dividing up Fei Niao City.

"The Zu family is more international, while the Mu family is more domestic. Domestically, only the Mu family has such influence."

"Alright, I'll settle them one by one!"

"I hadn't decided whether to target the Zu family or the Mu family first, but now it seems I should first test my skills against the Mu family's forbidden spell!"

As for aristocratic families like Nanrong and Dali, or even smaller clans, Lu Ran no longer bothered to take action himself.

Once the Mu clan is destroyed, they will obediently offer up everything.

Unless, of course, they also want to be removed from Kyushu!
