After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
Before him lay a sumptuous dinner.
"Manager, it's time to eat."
Zheng Meng stood to the side, looking slightly reserved, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Clearly, he wanted Lu Yuan's approval.
Lu Yuan reached out and picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently. The tender and smooth taste immediately improved his mood.
"I didn't realize you were such a good cook!"
Upon receiving Lu Yuan's praise, Zheng Meng immediately revealed a satisfied smile.
"Of course! Manager, if you want to eat it again in the future, I'll make it for you again!"
Lu Yuan smiled and then asked, "Have the Wu family father and son woken up?"
“They’re awake.” Zheng Meng nodded. “I fed them some porridge, but they’re still very weak and can’t get out of bed.”
Upon hearing this...
Lu Yuan nodded slowly.
The healing effects of universal salvation are quite powerful.
Basically, as long as it's not an immediate fatal injury, it can be completely healed, but the spiritual energy and physical strength consumed will still need time to be replenished.
"Have Wu Mingxu come to see me after he is able to get out of bed."
“Okay,” Zheng Meng replied with a smile.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zheng Meng conscientiously cleared away the dishes, while Lu Yuan slowly walked outside.
The matter of the Wu family's sudden disappearance is now almost resolved.
For him, the most important thing right now is to get news of Wan Jietian and Li Jia.
His only source of information was Zheng Ran and the others who had been arrested.
"I wonder how the interrogation of Mu Ruxing is going. It would be great if we could get more information about Wan Jie Tian and Li Jia."
Lu Yuan murmured softly, his eyes flickering slightly.
The exact nature of the impending catastrophe that foretells the destruction of the world is still unknown, yet Bai Ze insists that he is an outsider capable of changing the disaster, which makes him feel uneasy.
It's like there's a time bomb hidden in the room.
You don't know where the bomb is hidden, or when it will explode.
Moreover, Wan Jietian and Li Jia's affairs are also somewhat troublesome.
If it's not dealt with soon, it will always be a source of anxiety.
"well!"
Lu Yuan sighed softly.
Let's finish what we're doing first and wait patiently for news.
...
Time flies.
While Lu Yuan was diligently cultivating in the Beast Taming Space, he suddenly sensed a noise coming from outside.
He immediately exited the Beast Taming Space and then saw Mu Ruxing standing at the door.
"Young Master Lu, those people have finally spoken, but they want to see you in person."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded.
"Then let's go take a look."
...
Mu Ruxing led Lu Yuan toward a detached house on the outskirts of Yandu.
After circling around, I headed towards the basement.
This residence was purchased by Mu Ruxing at Lu Yuan's behest, to serve as a temporary residence for members of the Divine Pavilion, and to handle other miscellaneous matters.
A creaking sound rang out.
The heavy door in front of them was slowly pushed open.
What came into view was a prison filled with black tones.
Similarly, there was a slight fishy or foul smell lingering inside.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but wrinkle his nose.
Mu Ruxing quickly said.
“Master, the smell here is not pleasant. Perhaps I should take them to another room for interrogation?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan slowly shook his head.
"It's alright."
As they spoke, they walked forward and soon arrived at the deepest room in the prison.
After pushing open the door, Lu Yuan immediately saw Zheng Ran bound, her hands tied to a chair.
He was covered in blood at this moment.
Some of the wounds on his body had already rotted.
His eyes held no color other than pain.
Even when he heard someone come in, Zheng Ran didn't make any move.
Clearly, he has now lost his desire for life.
"Are you willing to tell me about the Myriad Realms Heaven and leaving home?"
Lu Yuan's tone carried a hint of a smile.
Upon hearing these words, Zheng Ran's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly raised his head.
His scarred face revealed a longing for death.
"I'm willing, but you have to agree to one condition."
"You still want conditions? You're really courting death!"
Mu Ruxing gave a cold shout and casually picked up the whip next to her, ready to lash out.
This scene caused Zheng Ran, who was on the other side, to tremble violently. The torment he had endured for the past two days had caused him to develop a stress response.
"Wait a minute."
Lu Yuan spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ruxing immediately put down her whip and stood aside as if nothing had happened.
"Go ahead and tell me. If your information is useful enough, I can certainly meet your conditions."
Having received Lu Yuan's agreement, Zheng Ran took a deep breath.
Only then did he slowly begin to speak.
"There are various families in the Myriad Realms Heaven, and each family has a beast tamer at the True God level. This is the foundation for a family to stand tall in the Myriad Realms Heaven."
"How many Illusion God-level Beast Tamers does the Jiang family you serve have?" Lu Yuan asked curiously.
"I know of eight in total, but that's only on the surface. I have no idea how many true god-level beast tamers are hidden behind the scenes."
Lu Yuan nodded slowly.
He felt this was normal; if a family that stood tall in the myriad realms would so easily expose its secrets.
That's something only an idiot would do.
No one will truly reveal their hand to anyone else.
After all, revealing your hand means others know how to deal with you, and your demise is not far off.
"Let's talk about leaving home. Tell me everything you know."
Upon hearing these words, Zheng Ran on the other end did not respond directly.
Instead, they remained somewhat silent.
Clearly, he didn't really want to talk about leaving home.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke slowly.
"The Li family is a special family in the Myriad Realms Heaven. Their bloodline talent allows them to contract more than two beasts at the same time."
"This made other families covet their bloodline, and they even launched an attack on the Li family, attempting to use their clansmen as breeding stock and surrogate mothers."
"But there are strict bloodline rules for leaving home, and no matter what, we will not let our family bloodline be revealed."
"There are very few, if any, people from outside the family who have left home."
After saying this, Zheng Ran couldn't help but glance at Lu Yuan across from him.
In his view, Lu Yuan was the only member of the family who was not related to him.
Even now, he still can't figure out what's going on with Lu Yuan.
After all, Li Jia's current level of protection for himself has reached a hysterical level, so how could there be a person of a different surname who has Li Jia's bloodline?
It's even possible to contract three beasts at the same time!
Lu Yuan smiled slightly at Zheng Ran's questioning gaze.
"Then tell me, if they knew I existed, what would they do?"
"They will do everything they can to capture you and forcibly take you away from home, or they will destroy you."
