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

Chapter 304 Ruins, the Zu Clan's Resistance, A Thought Star Palace

Seeing this, Lu Ran didn't linger. He nodded to Hua Zhanhong and said:

"Commander Hua, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

"Oh? Do you need my help?" Hua Zhanhong asked politely.

Lu Ran blinked: "Would the Hua Army leader be willing to help with the extermination of the Zu clan?"

Hua Zhanhong's lips twitched, and he waved his hand: "Go ahead, I can't stop you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran curled the corners of his mouth, and rode the Black Dragon Emperor towards another mountain on the border of the capital, which was the Zu clan's main camp.

In an instant, the man and the dragon vanished without a trace.

"Zhan Hong, are we just going to let this go? After all, the Zu family has innocent members among them," Shao Zheng said hesitantly, his expression uncertain.

Hua Zhanhong glanced at Shao Zheng and spoke calmly:
"If Lu Ran establishes the Feiniao New City, are there no innocent people in Feiniao City?"

"If Lu Ran really dies in Parthenon, what will the Mu and Zu families do when news of his death reaches the country? What will happen to his family? Have you thought about that?"

Shao Zheng was speechless after being rebuked; he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

"Moreover," Hua Zhanhong paused, "Lu Ran returned to the country with endless anger."

"He needs to vent!"

"The Zu family's insidious scheme to have Lu Ran die abroad has even reached the Western Holy City! Don't tell me you knew nothing about it!"

"If Lu Ran, a pillar of the nation, were to die in Kyushu, that would be a true tragedy!"

"Even if the Zu and Mu clans are truly wiped out, they deserve to die!"

"Moreover, Shao Zheng, you know how selfish and self-serving these clansmen are. If you want them to guard the country's borders, the only way is for all the military mages on the front lines to die!"

Shao Zheng remained silent for a long time, then bowed deeply.

"Teachable."

"Shao Zheng, just focus on doing your own job."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Zhanhong transformed into a streak of light and disappeared.

Shao Zheng, no longer hesitant, felt he had to implement his plans for coastal cities in response to rising sea levels ahead of schedule!

Even if there is resistance, we must be resolute!

The puppets of the Antarctic emperor have appeared.

Will the tide of the Siren Prophet be far behind?

Border of the capital.

Before my eyes was a magnificent palace.

This is the headquarters of the Zu family in the capital!

In the heart of the Zu clan's territory, a tall and magnificent angel statue gleams.

As an internationally-oriented group, the Zu clan has always been proud of their positions in the Holy City and their friendly relationship with it.

On this day, a group of elders from the Zu clan in the capital gathered together.

The once arrogant and haughty elders of the Zu clan now all had ashen faces.

They gathered here to discuss a solution to their predicament!

Both sides are in the capital. The commotion caused by the Mu family and Mu Pangshan is so great that unless the Zu family members are all deaf, it is impossible that they did not hear a word about it.

As everyone knows, Lu Ran has stormed Mount Mupang!
Lu Ran's revenge has begun!

"Why panic!"

"The Mu family has two patriarchs who have forbidden spells. Can Lu Ran really turn the world upside down?"

"In my opinion, at most Lu Ran will do the same thing as last time: confront the Mu family about their alleged misappropriation of resources and then leave on his own."

Zu Hengyao glanced at the group of terrified elders and sneered:
"As for our Zu family, would Lu Ran dare to come?"

"Offending the Mu family means that only certain domestic forces will target him!"

“But offending the internationally renowned Zu family is a recipe for disaster, unless Lu Ran wants to be targeted by the whole world!” Zu Hengyao's words stunned everyone. Zu Huiyin, who had been looking pale, forced a smile.
"Hengyao is right. No matter how bold Lu Ran may be, he would never dare to offend my Zu family."

Before Zu Huiyin could finish speaking, a cold, amused laugh came from the sky above, passing through the Zu Clan Palace and reaching everyone's ears.

"Oh?"

"Is the Zu family really that powerful?"

"Then why didn't I see the Zu family at the Parthenon goddess ceremony? Did they not want to come, or were they afraid to come?"

'boom! ! ! ’

There was an explosion.

Everyone stared wide-eyed as the roof of the ancestral palace was ripped open.

In an instant, darkness and the long night enveloped the faces of the Zu clan elders.

Everyone was stunned. As they looked at the Tianshan Mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, with only a faint glimpse of a dragon's shadow, their legs trembled!
"Black, the Black Dragon Emperor! When did they arrive?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Why didn't our clan's protective barrier give any warning?"

"It's Lu Ran! He actually came to our door!"

“Zu Huiyin, Zu Hengyao, it’s all your fault!”

In an instant, the entire Zu family's upper echelons were thrown into chaos. Some were in despair, some were angrily rebuking Zu Huiyin and Zu Hengyao, and some were trying to take advantage of the chaos to slip away.
Lu Ran's gaze sharpened.

"Anyone who moves dies!"

The words fell like a death sentence!
No one dared to make a move.

Because a powerful aura spread out and enveloped them in an instant!

It was the Dragon's Might!!!

The imperial pressure emanating from the Black Dragon Emperor!

But some people still didn't believe it. A high-level shadow mage suddenly turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared from the spot.

Lu Ran smiled.

Is this the transcendent power of the Shadow element?
He never expected that even with the Black Dragon Emperor's personal presence, there would still be people who were oblivious to their fate.

escape?
Having escaped the emperor's pursuit, what's wrong with letting your Zu family go today?
Even without Lu Ran speaking, the Black Dragon Emperor was enraged!

How dare a weak human run away right under her nose!
This is an affront to her supreme imperial majesty!!!
"Roar!!!"

Austin roared and unleashed a whirlwind that locked onto the shadow mage with extraordinary power!
Wherever the wind whistled, the palace buildings spanning thousands of meters were reduced to ruins in an instant!
And that high-level mage was targeted by Austin.

The enormous dragon shadow vanished in an instant, and a devastating dragon claw slammed down!
"Boom boom boom!!"

The earth shook violently, the sound echoing throughout the world!

The entire Zu family's buildings were reduced to ashes by Austin's roar and claw!
As for that ancestral family's Shadow Overlord Mage who sought his own death, he probably didn't even leave behind ashes, right?

Because Lu Ran couldn't sense the other person's soul.

It's likely that even their souls were crushed to ashes by Austen's rage.

As for the ancestral family members who lived in the building, naturally not even ashes remained.

In the hall, the Zu family's senior members knelt on the ground, their faces showing astonishment, confusion, and bewilderment.

What happened in less than two breaths?
How come the ancestral home
Is destruction just one step away?

"Demon-Slaying Sword - Sky-Splitting Sword!"

High in the sky, a golden holy sword rapidly materialized.
Its speed of releasing magic is instantaneous!
Visible to the naked eye, cracks of light appeared in the surrounding sky!
This sword strike was suddenly aimed at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran chuckled softly.

A Super-Rank 3 Demon-Slaying Sword?

Peak cultivation level?

"Is this the Zu family's form of resistance?"

Lu Ran casually extended a finger toward the Demon-Slaying Sword.
