Chapter 883: Second Time Hearing About Death Jail

“I have been serving Xuanye Country Ruler and he values me because of my strategic skills. I was sent to serve under Young Master Wushuang to help him take the Saint Emperor’s throne. However, now that he is already dead, as well as the few God Realm Experts under Country Ruler, I really can’t imagine what would happen to me if I returned to the Saint Dynasty…”

Lu Wubing’s expression was calm from start to finish.

Like the things he mentioned, the situation that he was in was totally unrelated to himself.

“Country Ruler Xuanye is magnanimous, it is only that I have made a huge mistake this time. Although I won’t have to die for it, I would be heavily punished. I would definitely be cast aside like a piece of trash.”

Zong Shou listened on quietly and didn’t reply. He didn’t bother and didn’t need to care about what happened to this person.

Then, he heard Lu Wubing say, “Hence, Wubing wants Ruler to keep me. From today on, I will serve by Young Master’s side…”

Oh?

Only then did Zong Shou’s brow rise up, a surprised look appeared on his face.

Keep him? In other words, he wanted to serve him?

This person is really interesting. He wants to use this method so that he can keep his life?

Thinking about it for a moment, Zong Shou shook his head.

“I don’t lack people by my side. However, you really have wild fantasies.”

“How can you say that it is a wild fantasy?”

Lu Wubing laughed, “In the past, Wubing was loyal to my Master. Since I was under Young Master Wushuang, I tried my best to plot for him, to help him kill the enemy and to consider specific plans for him. It seems like Young Master would have this bit of magnanimity right? Do you have to wipe me out to prevent all future problems?”

Zong Shou was silent and didn’t say a word. What he said was indeed true.

Speaking of which, it seemed that he was really petty and couldn’t accept people.

Lu Wubing continued, “However, now that Young Master Wushuang is dead, as a subject I didn’t let him down. A good bird would give up on a dying tree, with him gone why can’t I change to serve another Master? To me, Young Master is far better than Young Master Wushuang and is one who is more worth serving. If Young Master wants to fight for the next Sky Burning Saint Emperor spot, it is actually in your bag…”

Zong Shou burst out laughing and shook his head, “Lu Family Sky Burning Saint Emperor? I don’t have such an intention, if you want to help me and try to get some benefits from the Lu Family, then I think you are going to be disappointed.”

Fangjue was the same, so was this person.

“It is okay if you don’t fight!”

Lu Wushuang scoffed expressionlessly, “Although Lu Family has 800 worlds and they are strong, they also have many restrictions. Ruler is wise to not be wrapped up in this problematic situation. However, seeing how you eagerly conquer the outer region when Great Gan is slightly stabilized, your future ambitions won’t be limited to the Cloud World right? Young Master has many good generals but lacks officials. Lu Wubing isn’t a talent but my organizing talent is better than normal people, I might be able to help your ambitions.”

Zong Shou’s expression changed slightly, his heart relaxed a little as he looked closely at this person.

To be able to say these words meant that he had a deep understanding of his current situation.

All of a sudden, he was filled with hesitation. That killing intent also retreated by a little.

Lu Wubing sensed it, looking deeply at Zong Shou, “To me, if you aren’t willing to join the Lu Family then all the more do you need me to support you. I have served Xuanye Country Ruler for 60 years and have been all around. In this region, I have a huge understanding of the powers around. I am also good at the Formation Dao, especially Spacetime Techniques. My strength has little to no opponents within the Celestial Realm. If Ruler wants to save Princess Hanyan, I might be able to help you. I know the Nine Extreme Death Jail like the back of my hand!”

“Like the back of your hand?”

If the words before made Zong Shou a little interested, then these final ones hit his soft spot.

Nine Extreme Death Jail, it was something that even Fangjue who was the Cangyan Hall Head didn’t know about.

How did Lu Wubing dare to say that he knew Lu Family Death Jail like the back of his hand?

“Young Master probably doesn’t know but I came out from that jail. My parents were sent into the jail due to their crimes and then I was born. 60 years ago, my parents died due to the punishment within the jail. Someone was kind and merciful who allowed me to escape from it.”

He was obviously speaking about a tragic matter, but he spoke about it like it was a simple matter. His lip curled up, forming a contemptuous smile.

“It is funny talking about it. The person that saved me did so only to continue torturing me and not let me die early. We are from the same race but his actions were much more cruel than outsiders. Ruler probably isn’t willing to listen to such petty things. However, apart from the few Saint Venerables in Lu Family, no one in the Lu Family would know as much about the situation within the Death Jail as me. Outsiders told you that the moment one enters the Nine Extreme Death Jail, one would definitely not be able to come out? However, based on what I know, at least two people escaped from it.”

Two?

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed. With End Realm Spiritual Sense taking care of it, how would one be able to escape from the jail?

Was what he was saying true or false?

After Lu Wubing said this, he didn’t say anything else. Zong Shou also couldn’t deduce what his intentions were.

He thought about it and asked, “How am I going to believe you?”

This was the more important thing. After all, he was a subject of Xuanye Country Ruler, the subordinate of Lu Wushuang.

It was really tough to believe that he would be loyal.

No matter how magnanimous Zong Shou was, he had to be really careful with this matter.

He also had another reason for saying this. He really didn’t know if Lu Wubing was baiting him regarding this Death Jail matter or if it was really true.

If he believed what he said just like that and proceeded forth, he might end up being trapped in the jail.

Then, he would be considered really dumb.

“There are very few people who know about this matter, but there is evidence! However, due to the race being afraid of causing loss of face to the Saint Venerable, they locked down the news. Speaking of which, these two people have died, but I was fortunate to see the method they used to escape.”

Lu Wubing continued, his voice pausing for a moment, “As for me, you probably won’t believe me if I tell you that time will tell. At this moment, there is no other way to gain your trust. However, what good will it do for me to have second thoughts regarding you? I only ask for power in this life. Apart from you and the Sky Burning Lu Family, who can give me that?”

Zong Shou was startled and then started to laugh.

He thought that this person would use a soul oath or similar methods. This final sentence was one that was truly unexpected.

Only ask for power? Wubing was really frank.

He shook his head slightly, the last bit of hesitation in him disappeared.

Although he didn’t totally believe him, it wasn’t much of a problem to keep this person and let time tell.

As for the Nine Extreme Death Jail, even without Lu Wubing’s words, he was definitely still going to go take a look. From the moment Fangjue mentioned that his Father had shown signs of him appearing there, he already started to have such thoughts.

However, he was unable to make the trip due to his lack of strength.
