“Then, how are we going to get rid of the Lu Family completely?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

Dong Zhuo replied, “The Lu Family is like a tool, a pawn, to the Overlord! He wants to protect the Lus because there are no other suitable tools to replace them!”

Chen Xiaobei understood immediately, “You are saying that as long as there’s a replacement for the Lu Family, the Lus will lose all value, and the Overlord will not do everything in his power to protect them anymore?”

“That’s right!” Dong Zhuo continued, “The Lu Family’s main responsibility is to guard the South Town Temple on earth! On top of that, the old man in Lu Family is an Elder in the Temple’s core management who are in charge of the campaign. If someone can do the job just as well, I believe that the Overlord will not hesitate to abandon the Lu Family!”

“Governor Dong, why are you so certain that the Overlord will cast the Lu Family aside?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“That’s simple!” Dong Zhuo explained, “The Lu Family has managed the South Town Temple for a very long time. They’ve pocketed so much wealth they are practically swimming in resources! Other than lining their pockets, the Lu Family also busied themselves with forming cliques. Many powerful forces have formed close relations with the Lus in the dark!”

To a person who values power and authority like the Overlord, this was intolerable, as his subordinates were basically forming groups for their personal campaign! Moreover, the old man also has control over a portion of the military authority! The Overlord is, naturally, worried about this! 500 years ago, it was because of how powerful the Overgrown Forest nobles were that the Overlord was worried about them! Although the Lu Family is not as powerful as the Overgrown Forest nobles, the pattern is pretty much the same! Based on the Overlord’s character, as long as there are suitable candidates who could replace the Lus, he would not think twice to rid himself of this disease that is the Lu Family! He would not allow the Lus to continue to grow bigger!”

Dong Zhuo’s dissection was meticulous.

Chen Xiaobei nodded thoughtfully. “If that’s the case, the next question, or rather, the most important question is, who would replace the Lus?”

Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao looked at Chen Xiaobei and answered concurrently, “You!”

“Me?” Chen Xiaobei pointed at himself, a look of surprise washed over his face. “Are you both joking? I am just an outsider. How can I replace the Lus?”

Wenren Jinghao said, “The two important criteria for replacing the Lu Family are: One, strength that is powerful enough to make everyone bow to you. Two: prestige that is good enough for everyone one to listen to what you say! As long as we could convince the people of Northern Wilderness, replacing the Lu Family is not an impossible task!”

“Strength? Prestige?”

Chen Xiaobei looked puzzled.

Wenren Jinghao continued, “Strength! Mr. Chen, you were able to defeat one million Demonic Beasts on your own! That includes three demigod ranked Beast Kings! Who wouldn’t submit to someone with strength like that?”

Chen Xiaobei shook his head. “Actually, my cultivation is not very strong. I had to rely on my wits to defeat them!”

“Who said that strength must be cultivation?” Dong Zhuo said. “A pen is sometimes more powerful than a sword! There are many people who hold multiple positions. Their cultivations are not very strong either! To give an example, they are the Overlord’s anointed military advisor, the Chinese traditional medicine doctors, and Yin Yang masters. These people’s cultivations are much weaker than most of the core elders, but their positions are much higher! That’s why, intelligence is a part of strength! In fact, your medical skills are much stronger than the Temple’s Chinese traditional medicine doctors! If you could cure Muyue’s sickness, your name would be known all over Northern Wilderness. Then even the Overlord would look up to you!”


Chen Xiaobei nodded. “As long as I can get my hands on the Golden Purple Echeveria Lola, I can cure Lady Wenren!”

“Hmm!” Dong Zhuo continued. “Now that we’ve talked about strength, let’s talk about prestige! During the battle in Overgrown Forest, you saved one million young people on your own! You are now a hero to all of the nobles in Northern Wilderness! One word from you and all of them will respond to you! Mr. Chen, you’re already equipped with an abundance of strength and also peerless prestige! All we need to do is find the right opportunity to refer you to the Overlord. This will very likely succeed!”

Chen Xiaobei grinned in return. “This opportunity might just be around the corner!”

“What? What do you mean?” Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao leaned forward with interest.

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “Only this morning, 30 combat space jets went missing from the mothership we boarded. All the core Lu Family members, including Lu Mingjun have been arrested by the Thousand Lake City governor Zheng Xiongfeng!”

“Ho… How is that possible?” Both Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao gapsed. “The combat space jets are extremely crucial battle equipment! How could 30 of them go missing? Mr. Chen, are you sure got it right?”

“I can personally vouch that this is absolutely true!” Chen Xiaobei said.

“My goodness! The heavens want the Lu Family dead!” Dong Zhuo nearly jumped out of his seat. “The Atlantis issue already had the Overlord in a fit and he had no choice but to protect the Lu Family! Now the Lu Family have stirred up problems again! 30 combat space jets costs about 30 billion low-grade Spiritual Stones! The Overlord won’t be so lenient this time!”

“That’s right! To abate the matters in Atlantis, the Lus had to sell off their Family’s properties, and take out a few hundred million Spiritual Stones to rebuild Atlantis!” Wenren Jinghao was also very excited. “This time, the Lu Family won’t be able to reimburse the loss of the 30 combat space jets! If they fail to pay this debt, the Overlord will not only give up protecting the Lus, but he will also have the whole Family destroyed!”

Chen Xiaobei nodded. “The situation is looking good. Soon, the Overlord will have to make a decision! Once he’s decided to give up on the Lus, he will be on an urgent search for a substitute! And that would be our best chance!”

Both Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao nodded. “Everything is in order except for one thing!”

Once the major affairs were decided, Chen Xiaobei asked for an interstellar map from Dong Zhuo, and then left the governor’s mansion in a hurry.

Instead of returning to the secret space to rest, Chen Xiaobei stepped onto the Somersault Cloud and flew to a place far away from Silver Plume City.

Obviously, Chen Xiaobei had something that he needed to take care of, and that was to find the one million Demonic Beasts inside his Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd a safe new home.

Chen Xiaobei settled the battle, and saved one million young people and one million Demonic Beasts. That was how he got his 10 million merit points.

If the Demonic Beasts starved to death, half of his merit points would be deducted!
