"This is Second Patriarch Lu Fenghuo, Third Patriarch Lu Liantian, Fourth Patriarch Lu Dixian, Fifth Patriarch Lu Tianming … Tenth Patriarch Lu Tianhe!"
Patriarch Eight introduced them to Lu Li one by one. What surprised Lu Li was that Patriarch Two, Patriarch Three, and Patriarch Four seemed to be younger. They seemed to be in their forties or fifties, and their vital energy and qi were young as well. The others, on the other hand, seemed to be much older.
After the introduction, Patriarch Eight pointed to Lu Li and said, "This is Lu Li. He said … he is the son of Lu Renhuang."
As soon as the patriarchs came in, their eyes glowed. Lu Li looked so much like Lu Renhuang.
If Lu Li were a few years older, he would be more aggressive, more noble and domineering, then he would be a living Lu Renhuang.
Three patriarchs were excited but Second Patriarch, Lu Fenghuo and Third Patriarch Lu Liantian frowned. They looked at each other and Third Patriarch Lu Liantian said, "Lu Li?
You said you are the son of the Human Emperor. Do you have a token? "
The other two patriarchs frowned as well. Lu Li's realm was too low. If he was Lu Renhuang's son, how could his realm be so low?
Also, why are you only back now?
No matter what, he had to prove Lu Li's identity first. Everything else could be discussed later.
"Keepsake?"
Lu Li was taken aback. Where could he get the token?
If he had the token, he wouldn't have been hunted down by the Song Family.
Of course, the fact that he was Lu Renhuang's son was not a problem. Lu Renhuang believed that he would be able to explain himself.
He thought for a moment and said, "When I was born, my father disappeared and didn't leave any keepsake.
En … there is a Lu Clan's token, but it was taken away by my elder sister. My elder sister is now in Qing Province. "
Lu Li's words were as good as saying nothing. There was no proof. The other Patriarchs frowned. Patriarch Eight asked, "Lu Li, have you awakened the King Kong Bloodline?
If it awakens, then there won't be any problems. "
"No … no, I didn't awaken the King Kong Bloodline!" Lu Li shook his head. If it weren't for the animal tooth pendant, he would have awakened the King Kong Bloodline.
"This …"
The group of elders looked at each other, feeling a little suspicious.
If he was Lu Renhuang's son, how could he not awaken the King Kong Bloodline?
Almost all the direct descendants of the Lu family could awaken, except for one or two who were extremely unlucky.
If it were not for the fact that Lu Li looked like Lu Renhuang and that he was not wearing any disguise, he would have been thrown out.
Third Elder Lu Liantian pondered for a moment before speaking again, "Then what proof do you have that you're the Emperor's son?"
Lu Li was dumbfounded. He had thought that as soon as he got back to the Lu Family, he could be reunited with his family.
But now, there was a huge problem. He could not prove that he was Lu Renhuang's son.
Seeing that Lu Li was silent, Lu Liantian continued, "How about this?
Whatever your father left you, as long as it was his, that was all that mattered.
Or did he tell you the secrets of the Lu family? "
"Things?"
Lu Renhuang only had one animal tooth pendant. Now, the animal tooth pendant had disappeared as if it had become the silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond.
As for the Lu family's secret, his sister didn't say anything, so how would he know?
Seeing that Lu Li had nothing to offer and couldn't say anything, all the patriarchs grew cold.
If Lu Li couldn't prove it, they would have no choice but to interrogate him as a fake.
"Right!"
Lu Li remembered something and said, "I know the War God Album, but only the first section. My sister said it was left by my father."
"War God Album?"
Patriarch Eight and the other patriarchs were relieved. Patriarch Eight said, "Read it from back to back."
Lu Li thought about it and began to recite it.
The first section of the War God Album only had dozens of words. He had memorized them. He had been cultivating this method. He could recite the first section easily.
"Yes, it is the War God Album!"
Patriarch Eight was relieved. The War God Album was a method unique to the Lu Family. Since Lu Li knew the War God Album, there should be no problem.
"But it doesn't prove anything …"
Lu Fenghuo, the Second Patriarch who had been silent, said, "You all know that there were two traitors in the Lu Family dozens of years ago.
What if the two traitors passed the section to someone else?
What's more, Lu Li only knows the first section. There are five more. "
The other patriarchs nodded in agreement. They looked at Lu Li with scrutiny.
It was as if they wanted to see Lu Li's soul and see if he was a real disciple of the Lu Family or a spy sent by other families.
Seeing that Patriarch Eight didn't say anything, Lu Li made up his mind and said, "Patriarchs, there is no doubt that I am the son of Lu Renhuang.
Where is my grandpa?
I want to see him. He should be able to tell if my identity is real or not. "
Patriarchs' expressions changed. A glint of coldness appeared in their eyes. Second Patriarch and Third Patriarch even had killing intent in their eyes.
Patriarch Eight was about to say something when Second Patriarch Lu Fenghuo said coldly, "Family Patriarch has been in closed-door cultivation for many years. If he doesn't come out, nobody can see him."
"Closed-door cultivation?"
Lu Li was surprised. Then he had some doubts. If he was in closed-door cultivation, why were they so shocked?
Lu Li didn't say anything. He was confused.
Why did he go back to the Lu Family?
To ask the powerful warriors of the Lu Family to save Lu Renhuang from the Ice Abyss.
He should tell them where Lu Renhuang was and ask the powerful warriors of the Lu Family to go to the Ice Abyss to save Lu Renhuang so that his identity could be proven.
However —
Somehow, Lu Li felt uneasy. He felt that some patriarchs of the Lu Family were nice to him and some were hostile.
Even though they didn't show it and everything seemed normal, Lu Li still felt uncomfortable.
Therefore …
He was wondering if he should tell them everything.
If his grandpa were here, he would have nothing to worry about. The problem was that he couldn't see his grandpa.
Seeing that Lu Li was silent, the patriarchs moved their lips as if they were discussing with each other. After a while, Third Patriarch Lu Liantian said, "Lu Li, you can tell us about your father. Tell us everything you know. We will be able to tell if you are telling the truth."
"Yes!"
Patriarch Eight nodded and said, "Lu Li, go ahead. Tell us everything and we can be sure of your identity."
Lu Li was still silent. Lu Liantian's words made him more alarmed.
Lu Renhuang went to the Northern Desert and was being hunted by powerful warriors. For 20 years, nobody from the Lu Family went to the Northern Desert to look for him. Now, his grandpa was in closed-door cultivation?
Out of instinct, Lu Li was alarmed and resistant. He didn't dare to take the risk.
"Tell us, Lu Li. How can we prove it if you don't say anything?" Patriarch Eight was getting impatient.
"I don't know much!"
After some thoughts, Lu Li decided to withhold some information. He said, "My father and my mother disappeared when I was born. I don't know where they are.
My sister was only four years old. She only told me that my father was Lu Renhuang and I was a disciple of the Lu Family of the Central Plains. She told me to find a way to go back to the family.
My sister might know more but she has been taken to the Palace of Goddess at the Cyan Plains.
How about … you send someone to get my sister back? She must know a lot. Also, she has my father's token with her. "
The patriarchs were silent again. What Lu Li said was as good as nothing. They couldn't get any useful information from him. Naturally, they couldn't prove Lu Li's identity.
"I have an idea!"
