...
An hour ago, inside the fight club.
Su Yunying diligently mopped the floor, glancing occasionally at Shen Zhao, who was lounging in a rocking chair, half asleep. Then she quickly picked up a piece of almond shortbread from the table and stuffed it into her mouth.
"By the way, girl, what day is today?"
This question almost made Su Yunying choke. She quickly swallowed the almond pastry, wiped her mouth and said, "Today is the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Lord Lu's birthday. Boss, do you want to go and join in the fun? It's so boring staying here."
"Do your job and mind your own business."
After giving the order, Shen Zhao closed his eyes to rest again.
Su Yunying pouted and made a face at Shen Zhao, then looked at the half-eaten almond shortbread again, and quickly picked up a piece and turned her back to steal a bite.
Shen Zhao's mind was filled with thoughts of the Lu family.
On this day in the previous life, the Lu family of Qingyang City encountered a massacre from the Nine Netherworld at Lu Zhantian’s birthday banquet, resulting in the death of all 282 people in the mansion, except Lu Chen who luckily escaped the disaster and Lu Xuanji who was abducted to the Nine Netherworld and became the Saint of the Netherworld.
Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Qingyang City were also killed as a result; the methods used were extremely cruel.
Shen Zhao, who was once a military god of the Immortal Martial Continent in his previous life, has always had only one attitude towards the Nine Netherworld.
kill!
This was not a choice made because of system requirements, but rather a heartfelt desire to rid the Immortal Martial Continent of this scourge.
How cruel are the kingdoms and sects in the Nine Netherworld? Only Shen Zhao, who has witnessed it firsthand, has the right to speak.
The emergence of the Nine Netherworld brought only endless slaughter and chaos. Over the thousands of years, billions of innocent people have died because of the Nine Netherworld throughout the Immortal Martial Continent.
Instead of working together to fight the invasion of the Nine Netherworlds, the major forces in the Immortal Martial World were preoccupied with how to avoid becoming enemies with the Nine Netherworlds and turned a blind eye to their atrocities. This chilled Shen Zhao to the bone.
"Since you are unwilling to stop this catastrophe, then let me do it!"
In the battle at the entrance of the Nine Netherworld, the 100,000 iron soldiers of the Pojun Mansion, led by Shen Zhao, stepped into the Yellow Spring Road and fought a desperate battle with the Nine Netherworld evil army.
This war lasted for three full years, frightening all gods and ghosts, turning the world upside down, and moving the heavens and the earth.
Finally, under the relentless onslaught of the Po Jun Mansion, the Nine Netherworlds were terrified by Shen Zhao.
The various races of the Nine Netherworlds are cruel, but Shen Zhao is even more cruel than them.
You kill one citizen of my Immortal Martial Continent, I'll kill ten of yours!
The Netherworld Holy Land, the Asura Empire, the City of Reincarnation, the Ten Kings of Hell, the Other Shore Kingdom, and the Nine Hells Demon Path—the strongest allied forces in the Nine Netherworlds were utterly crushed and nearly wiped out under Shen Zhao's iron-fisted offensive. Thousands of cultivators with ten thousand years of cultivation within the Nine Netherworld perished in this most brutal war in nearly a thousand years of the Immortal Martial Continent. The Asura Emperor was even captured and became a prisoner, deeply experiencing what it means to pay for blood debts!
Even more brutally, Shen Zhao tortured and killed 300,000 captured Netherworld evil spirits one by one in front of the major clans of the Netherworld. Afterwards, he used their corpses to build a blood wall to intimidate the Netherworld. Such bloody and cruel methods shocked the entire Immortal Martial Continent.
For the first time, they were deeply shocked by the humans they had once regarded as ants. This tit-for-tat approach made them re-examine the human race and even propose peace talks.
Unfortunately, Shen Zhao never intended to negotiate with this group of people. The envoy brought back the dismembered corpse of the Asura Emperor, who had already been executed by slow slicing. Afterwards, he directly led the Po Jun Mansion to continue to penetrate deeper into the Nine Netherworld.
This time, even the Lord of the Nine Netherworld, who unified the Yellow Springs Road, was afraid. Several major forces were almost in despair and waiting for death. They all trembled when they heard the name of the God of War, Chen Zhao.
In order to escape Shen Zhao's relentless pursuit, the various tribes of the Nine Netherworld, under the call of the Nine Netherworld Lord, jointly sent a peace treaty to Empress Yu Xiyan of the Yintian Dynasty, willing to submit to the Empress's rule and agree to any conditions. Their only requirement was that Shen Zhao must, immediately, withdraw his troops, as the Netherworld could no longer withstand Shen Zhao's devastation.
Ultimately, Yu Xiyan accepted the Nine Netherworld's pleas for peace, issuing twelve gold tablets in succession. She even mobilized the highest-level Supreme Realm Shadow Guards, who traveled at a speed of eight thousand miles a day to reach the border of the Nine Netherworld, urgently ordering Shen Zhao to cease hostilities and withdraw his troops.
That time, it was also the first time that Shen Zhao defied the system's will and disregarded the imperial decree to continue the advance.
However, the backlash of violating the system made him feel extremely miserable, and every step forward made him endure the pain of the thunder of heaven piercing his heart.
More importantly, when the remaining soldiers of the Po Jun Mansion and countless refugees who had escaped the sea of suffering shouted "General" in unison, Shen Zhao could only stand blankly in front of the Sea of Reincarnation, watching helplessly as the remnants of the Nine Nether Army retreated safely back into the barrier.
This moment...
He finally understood...
There's nothing I can do...
Pulling his thoughts back to the past, Shen Zhao began to consider the second question.
Should the Lu family be saved?
In Shen Zhao's memory, apart from being a show-off and a womanizer who had fleeting affairs with many female cultivators and even becoming a madman who was a master-chaser, Lu Chen didn't seem to have done anything particularly wrong.
At least in terms of the overall view, Lu Chen still has a firm grasp of it, has a bottom line in life, treats his friends and brothers well, and repays those who have done him a favor. Finally, at the peak of the Supreme Realm, he retired bravely and traveled around the Xianwu Continent with his three wives, living a carefree and happy life.
Thinking about it this way, the Lu family is not impossible to save. Lu Chen is at least a hundred times stronger than Lin Feng, who is hypocritical, unscrupulous in achieving his goals, and even does not hesitate to join an evil sect and harm his fellow disciples to achieve his goals.
Shen Zhao didn't have the obsessive idea that all the beauties in the world should be added to his harem. He would let things take their course. Besides, thanks to the system that made him so devoted to his love, he had developed an extremely strong fear and aversion to relationships between men and women. Even without the system's constraints, his heart would ache whenever he was involved in emotional topics.
