Luo Zang stared blankly at Mu Jun, not daring to believe Lu Yin's words.
Mu Jun paled. "I'm telling the truth. I'm not lying to you."
Lu Yin straightened up. "I should believe you. My son is facing death, and I know about Luo Shan's plan with Divinity Shaoyin. I should believe you. No matter how I look at it, you have no reason to lie to me and protect Luo Shan. However, from what I know about you, including from when you were young, I can confirm that you don't care about Luo Zang. You don't care about anyone."
"Nonsense!" Mu Jun roared.
Lu Yin spoke and revealed many things about Mu Jun, especially about when she was young.
Mu Jun's face paled as she listened. Many things showed what kind of person she was. She was indifferent to family, scheming, and vicious.
"Let me think about it. If you want to keep Luo Shan's secret under such circumstances, there are only two possibilities."
Lu Yin stared at Mu Jun. "First, he's using some method to control you. You can also say that you're his puppet. If I ask you to betray him, it's the same as asking him to betray himself. Naturally, it's impossible."
Mu Jun was furious, and her gaze was fierce.
"Second, you're sure that he can save you," Lu Yin said slowly.
Mu Jun's expression was still as fierce as before, but this expression made Lu Yin even more certain that it was the second possibility.
"You're doing your best not to reveal any flaws, but it's hard for people to completely control themselves. Even an extreme powerhouse can't completely control their emotions. You're deliberately pretending. That's the second possibility, right?" Lu Yin moved closer.
Mu Jun smiled with mockery and disdain. "You're the same as Luo Shan."
Lu Yin did not understand.
Mu Jun laughed. "You're both suspicious. I've already told you the truth, but you're only following your own conjectures. If that's the case, why ask me?
The more suspicious you are, the more it proves that you're weak! "
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. Another of Luo Zang's arms shattered, and he screamed.
Mu Jun's expression darkened. "Xuan Qi, I've already told you everything. If you don't believe me, just kill him. He's never offended you. If you want to kill him, then do it. Why torture him?"
Lu Yin waved his hand, and Luo Zang's body trembled. Luo Zang's eyes filled with disbelief as he slowly fell to the ground...
Luo Zang never thought that he would die. With Mu Jun here, he should not have died. He was so close to Mu Jun, yet he still died?
He died so quickly, and the last thing he heard before he died was Mu Jun's, 'Kill him directly.'
Mu Jun did not expect Lu Yin to be so decisive. She stared blankly at Luo Zang's corpse, unable to react for a moment.
Lu Yin was indifferent: "You're next. Your nonsense is useless other than stalling for time. I'll ask you again, what kind of person is Luo Shan?"
Mu Jun looked at Lu Yin, her eyes filled with murderous intent. Her son had died, and she should hate Lu Yin to the core. However, at this moment, the depths of her eyes were not filled with killing intent or hatred. Instead, they were filled with anxiety, anger, and the fear of death.
"Do you still have any illusions?
I know what kind of person you are. Although Luo Zang is your son, you've never cared about him. He doesn't care about other people's lives, and he killed five just to vent his anger. You, on the other hand, don't care about his life either. Whether he lives or dies is just the standard you use to measure me. Now, I've given you that standard. "
Mu Jun stared deeply at Lu Yin. "Mu Qi betrayed me."
Mu Qi was Matriarch Mu.
Lu Yin nodded. "Not exactly.
She knew of my existence back then. She knew the moment I captured you, but she did not tell Luo Shan. At that time, I found it strange. Why?
Even if she was afraid that Luo Shan would implicate her, this matter concerns your life and death. The Mu family will prosper because of you. She must know that even Luo Zang might not be able to help the Mu family prosper. She should be the one who wants you to live the most. "
"Now I know. She would rather you die. If you die, perhaps the Mu family will continue to prosper because of Luo Zang. Perhaps it won't. Even if it weakens, she would rather you die, because you are essentially the same type of people."
"When I first met Matriarch Mu, she was also venting her anger. She stained her embroidery with human blood. When she captured Luo Zang, she was also venting her anger."
Speaking of this, Lu Yin frowned. "You people never take human lives seriously. In Matriarch Mu's heart, she knows very well that she is the same as the maid she killed. Once you no longer need her, she will be killed by you to vent your anger. This feeling of struggling on the edge of life and death is very painful. The more painful it is, the more she likes to kill. It is as if the dead can replace her."
"Mu Jun, you, how many lives have you ignored because of your anger?"
Mu Jun's eyes flickered. She met Lu Yin's gaze and did not refute.
Lu Yin was right. Mu Qi and Luo Zang had all learned from her. Too many innocent lives had died in her hands. They had long lost count. From the bottom of their hearts, they did not care about human lives. Even Luo Zang had no place in her heart. He was just a puppet for outsiders to see, a puppet to gain the trust of others.
If Lu Yin had not looked for Matriarch Mu to confirm Mu Jun's character, he would not have thought that such a vicious heart was hidden under such a beautiful face.
He would not have doubted Mu Jun's words when Luo Zang was facing death.
Fortunately, he had confirmed it.
The reason why Matriarch Mu had not told Luo Shan about it back then had planted a trace of doubt in his heart. Luo Zang and Matriarch Mu's indifference to human lives also made him feel that something was wrong. In the end, it was all because of Mu Jun.
She was the one who truly did not care about human lives.
Mu Jun closed her eyes. "If you win, I can tell you everything about Luo Shan and the three monarchs' spacetimes. I can also help you deal with Luo Shan and the others. I will submit to you in exchange for my freedom. After all, I am an extreme powerhouse, and I am useful to you."
If it was before looking for Matriarch Mu, Lu Yin had indeed thought of making Mu Jun submit to him. He had looked for Mu Jun many times with this goal in mind. It was better to have an extreme powerhouse under his command. But now that he understood this woman's character, he could not let her stay. The credibility of her words would also be reduced.
"Alright!" Lu Yin said.
Mu Jun stared at Lu Yin. "How can I believe you?"
The Divine Seal Catalog appeared above Lu Yin's head. Golden light shone through the deathly aura and spread out, covering the entire Eternal Kingdom.
Everyone looked at the ground and the golden light, bowing their heads in worship.
Lu Yin stood under the Divine Seal Catalog and was illuminated by the golden light. He looked like a god.
Mu Jun recognized it. She had seen the golden light descend from the ground before, and she had felt that there were extreme powerhouses fighting in the Eternal Kingdom. "Is this your innate gift?"
Lu Yin said, "The Divine Seal Catalog can help extreme powerhouses ascend to godhood. The target must agree completely, or the ascension will fail. Mu Jun, if you want me to believe in you, then you will succeed. Otherwise, I will kill you. Once I succeed, I can borrow the power of the sealed powerhouse to fight. It doesn't matter if it's one, ten, or a hundred. As long as I succeed, I can borrow their power. Unless the sealed powerhouse dies and their power projection disappears, I will not lose an extreme powerhouse for nothing.
The power of a powerhouse. "
Mu Jun was shocked, and her body trembled. Borrowing the power of an extreme powerhouse?
One, ten, or a hundred of them?
How was this possible?
How could there be such an abnormal gift?
What kind of power could do this?
She looked at the two figures in the Divine Seal Catalog. Could this person already borrow the power of two extreme powerhouses?
In order to make Mu Jun believe in him, Lu Yin had used the power of the Ancestor and Liu Yun.
Mu Jun believed him. The power of two extreme powerhouses couldn't lie.
"If you die, my power will also disappear, so I will not harm you. This is the only way for you to believe in me. If you want me to believe in you, then you must be willing to become a god. Otherwise, I will turn you to ashes right now. From now on, there will be no more Mu Jun in this world. Not even a Grand Empyrean can save you!" Lu Yin's voice was mighty and divine.
Mu Jun's eyes flickered as she stared blankly. She hadn't expected such a thing to happen. All her plans had failed. If she was willing, it would come from the heart. Once there was a scheme, how could she be willing?
"You only have one chance. Mu Jun, are you willing to become a god?" Lu Yin asked.
Mu Jun took a deep breath and slowly lowered her head, struggling.
Lu Yin knew that this woman definitely had other ideas, but none of them could be hidden from the God Sealing Catalog. As long as she wanted to scheme against him, there was no way she would be willing to be sealed as a god. Once she failed in her attempt, he would truly exterminate her.
Mu Jun suddenly looked up at Lu Yin. "What about me?
Once you become a god?
What will happen to me? "
Lu Yin looked down from above. "You will be fine."
"You won't be controlled?" Mu Jun stared into Lu Yin's eyes.
Lu Yin said, "No, I swear on my name. You can only believe in me."
"Mu Jun, are you willing to become a god?"
Mu Jun's breathing grew heavier and her face flushed red. She didn't look at Luo Zang from start to finish, instead staring at the ground.
"Mu Jun, are you willing to become a god?" Lu Yin shouted.
Mu Jun looked up. "Wait, I need time. Give me a day to adjust."
Lu Yin's gaze relaxed. This woman had decided to betray Luo Shan. Before the Divine Seal Catalog had appeared, she had still wanted to scheme against him, which meant that she truly believed that Luo Shan had the ability to save her. Now that she was faced with the Divine Seal Catalog, she only had one chance. Under the threat of Luo Zang's still-cold corpse, she had submitted.
People who didn't care about the lives of others actually cared about their own lives the most. Matriarch Mu was like this, Luo Zang was like this, and Mu Jun was no exception.
She didn't dare to take the risk. She needed time to adjust her mentality and truly betray Luo Shan.
At the same time, in the Astral Tree Realm, there was a branch of the Wang family in a corner of the continent. At this moment, Wei Rong had become the son-in-law of this branch.
"This son-in-law requests an audience with father-in-law!" Wei Rong bowed respectfully at the foot of the mountain range.
"What is it?" A voice came from the mountain, coming from the branch's patriarch, Wang Gui.
Wei Rong respectfully replied, "This son-in-law has something to tell father-in-law."
"Come up."
Wei Rong quickly ascended the mountain range and arrived behind Wang Gui. At this moment, Wang Gui was standing at a high point, looking in the direction of the Wang family's main branch.
Wei Rong bowed. "Father-in-law."
Wang Gui was indifferent. "What can you possibly want?"
He wasn't satisfied with Wei Rong, but since his daughter liked him, he could only accept him. As for this son-in-law, how should he describe him?
He seemed smart, but he couldn't accomplish anything. He was useless.
