"Pang Lai, what do you think?"
Shao Zheng asked, who participated in the meeting online.
Does he really have that ability?
"I don't know," Pang Lai shook her head.
"I am also not certain."
According to Han Ji, Lü Cheng has most likely come into contact with some forbidden techniques, but they have no idea where those techniques came from.
But now, Lü Cheng's demand is not to kill those who wanted to kill him, but to wait until he has successfully rescued the ancient capital before taking action.
From this perspective, Lü Cheng was confident.
"Speaker, are you perhaps planning to compromise with that kid?" an old man asked in a deep voice.
"What if he really is a member of the Black Vatican, and his goal is even to make our Magic Association's higher-ups kill each other?"
"The disaster was orchestrated by the Black Vatican. That kid is just a high-level mage. How dare he make such a boast? If he fails, it's understandable. After all, his head was held to his throat. It's normal for him to make a threat."
"But if he really solves it, and he's not the Black Vatican, do you believe it?"
“Speaker, if we compromise so easily, the Black Vatican will only become more audacious in the future. Today they are holding the ancient capital hostage, but what about tomorrow?” another councilor chimed in.
"If we back down today, what about tomorrow?"
"..."
The members of parliament present spoke one after another, and almost all of them held an opposing view.
Only a few councilors advocated including Lü Cheng in the decapitation plan. After all, Lü Cheng was just a high-level mage, and no one paid much attention at the time, especially since even Zhu Meng had been involved.
But this is not just about the deaths of a few councilors. The prestige of the National Magic Association and the Supreme Inquisition is built on the blood of countless mages. If it is destroyed today by a few words from a child, what about in the future?
Some things cannot be compromised!
……
Do you think they will agree?
On the streets of the inner city, Lü Cheng and Ling Xi were strolling leisurely.
"Definitely not." Lü Cheng shook his head.
His demands went far beyond simply killing a few villains; they crossed the line of the highest magic association.
If he can threaten like that, can't others threaten like that too?
If he can demand the killing of these people today, will others follow suit tomorrow?
"Then why did you make this request?" Lingxi asked.
“Because I really have that ability,” Lü Cheng said.
"Whether they agree or not, I will take action."
"The only difference is whether they maintain their dignity themselves, or whether I help them maintain their dignity!"
The Magic Association will definitely not agree, at least not publicly.
But what happens when he demonstrates power beyond what is expected?
Is the Magic Association more self-aware?
Or should we wait for him to take action himself?
Moreover, he made a request that the Magic Association did not agree to, but he still saved the ancient capital, thus making his image impeccable.
Repay evil with kindness!
Taking control of a holy city requires prestige; without sufficient prestige, power alone is not enough.
"Why?" Lingxi asked.
Why did you try to stop this?
Lu Cheng already knew that she was in charge of this matter, so why did he want to sabotage her plan?
"Then why did you do this?" Lu Cheng countered.
"For the faith in Death?"
"Is it still for Wen Tai?"
"I don't understand, just how attractive is Wen Tai? Everyone is thinking about him, and his shadow is everywhere in my life."
"My parents left me because of him, and you like me because of him. If it weren't for him, I should have grown up surrounded by the Holy City, possessing the noblest birth in the world. Suffering would have been irrelevant to me, and my life would have been filled with glory!"
The divine armor he held, blessed by the Holy City Father, had come to him on its own when he was just born!
In other words, if he hadn't left the Holy City, he would now be the high and mighty Son of God in the Holy City, able to enjoy his life as he pleased.
rule?
With his mastery of divine equipment, he could rise to the rank of Emperor at any moment!
He controls the energy of light!
He is God's most orthodox spokesperson!
His word is law!
"But because of him! I've lived in constant fear outside for over ten years! Because of him, I've been forced to do those scheming things that even I find disgusting!"
Lü Cheng stared at Ling Xi.
“I could have lived a clean life, but you threw me into the mud and made me like this, unclean and filthy.”
He couldn't even imagine how happy he would have been if it weren't for what happened with Wen Tai back then! The parents of the Holy City Judge, the mother of the heretical mage, the uncle who was a BOSS-level figure, and the divine armor symbolizing the Heavenly Father.
He doesn't have to live in fear, nor does he have to scheme at every turn!
"I'm sorry..." Ling Xi lowered her head with a complicated expression.
“You don’t need to apologize, this has nothing to do with you.” Lu Cheng turned around.
"I'm not complaining, nor am I saying that I did everything because I had no choice."
"No matter how disgusting it is, those things were my own choices."
"I never shirk responsibility; once I've done something, I've done it."
"Same for you."
"Everyone must take responsibility for their own choices and not say they have no choice but to do so."
Lu Cheng looked into the deep alley behind him.
"Is that so?"
"..."

Those stirring up trouble, please stop. You're bringing up things like massacres and ruthless family ties—do you think this is a novel?
This is practically trying to destroy my book!
You think I can write this kind of stuff? Do you think I've never had my books banned?
I only wrote this part to stir up emotions. Massacres and indiscriminate killing? Are you trying to destroy an ancient capital? You're trying to destroy my book! (灬)

……
"I didn't expect you to actually get in touch with her."
Asha Ruya walked out of the alley and looked at Ling Xi beside Lü Cheng with a complicated expression.
She wasn't sure who Salang was, so the information she provided to the Magic Association was inaccurate. Besides, even if she were sure, she probably wouldn't be able to say it directly.
“However, what I didn’t expect was that you would actually take the initiative to approach him.” Asha Ruya looked into Ling Xi’s eyes.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
Even if Ye Chang is insane, even if she wants to take revenge on the whole world, she has no right to take revenge on Lü Cheng!
Lu Cheng's father forcibly broke into the Dark Judgment and almost died along with Wen Tai. Su Meng also launched the spatial storm that affected the Holy City in order to save Lu Chengze.
The family's life was ruined because of her adoptive father, Wen Tai.
Even if Ye Chang is crazy, she shouldn't have laid a hand on Lü Cheng!
"How do you know so much?" Lingxi looked at Asha'ruya with great interest.
