Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

"Yes, we absolutely won’t agree."

The Sixth Elder, Lu Zhang, echoed.

Lu Changyin watched the scene without speaking, leisurely drinking a cup of spirit tea, quietly waiting for Lu Feng’s appearance.

Just at this moment, Lu Feng strode in from outside, quickly entering the room, prompting everyone to stand and greet him respectfully.

"Patriarch!"

"Patriarch!"

Upon entering, Lu Feng cast his gaze upon everyone.

Lu Hongying immediately spoke, but was interrupted by Lu Feng raising his hand, "Today, I have gathered you all here to announce a decision. Regarding the decree from the Domain Lord’s Mansion, I have made my decision.

If anyone refuses to follow my decision, they will have their Golden Core abolished, and everything received from the Lu Family will be taken back. Their family will be expelled from East Pole Immortal City, and everything belonging to the Lu Family will be fully reclaimed. Do you have any objections?"

Lu Feng coldly swept his gaze over everyone.

Lu Hongying and the others were somewhat stunned, as the patriarch had never spoken such harsh words before.

For many matters, the patriarch would consult with them, and this had been the case during previous discussions regarding the decree from the Domain Lord’s Mansion.

Why has he suddenly become so firm?

Abolish the Golden Core.

Their family expelled from the Lu Family.

Such heavy punishment has never appeared since the founding of the Lu Family.

However, after exchanging glances with the others, Lu Hongying didn’t care, "We will follow the patriarch’s arrangements."

The other seven people also spoke in succession.

"Follow the patriarch’s arrangements."

"We follow the patriarch’s arrangements."

Lu Feng nodded, speaking coldly once more, "Lu Hongying, Lu Shouren, you two will be the ones to receive the decree from the Domain Lord’s Mansion this time."

The words fell.

There was a deathly silence among the elders in the room.

Lu Hongying and Lu Shouren looked at Lu Feng in disbelief, and couldn’t help but glance at Lu Chan.

Why them?

Why not Lu Chan?

"Patriarch, Lu Chan has enjoyed two shares of Core Formation resources and exploited two Tier Three Yin Veins, yet she has never contributed to the Lu Family. Why are we receiving the decree instead of her?"

Lu Shouren hurried to speak, "Yes, patriarch, besides, traveling to the Traceless Mountain Range this time, even for those at the Golden Core stage, the risk of danger is high. Shouldn’t we send those less capable in order to prevent the Lu Family from suffering more losses? Elder Lu Hongying and I are considered mainstays among the Lu Family Elders, if..."

In Lu Chan’s surprised gaze, Lu Feng raised his hand to interrupt Lu Shouren’s words. A terrifying pressure belonging to the Middle Stage of Golden Core suddenly swept forth, "Is it because I have been too benevolent that you’ve become delusional? This is an order, not a negotiation. The Lu Family depends not on you, but on me. If you are unwilling to go, then when we go to war with Longteng Qianyue, both of you shall lead the charge!"

Lu Hongying was momentarily speechless, not daring to meet Lu Feng’s eyes directly.

She didn’t understand why, nor did she comprehend why the patriarch was acting so atypically today. However, under the oppressive pressure of the patriarch, she found herself unable to speak out, only able to glare at Lu Chan, "Patriarch, and what about Lu Chan?"

"Do I need you to instruct me on how to conduct affairs? Are none of you aware of the current situation within the Lu Family?" Lu Feng’s cold gaze fell, startling Lu Hongying into retracting her gaze, not daring to speak anymore.

"Every single one of you, when things happen, you evade and even connive together to force others. If I am defeated, the Lu Family will crumble instantly... Will you, at that time, be like the Qi Family members and turn around to sell out the Lu Family?" Lu Feng spoke coldly again, sweeping his eyes over the Lu Family members, frightening them into barely breathing.

Some had intended to speak a word or two, but Lu Feng’s words pressed down like a heavy mountain.

No one dared utter a single criticism.

Lu Hongying was like this.

Lu Shouren was the same.

The only thing both could do was bow their heads, nervous and silent, yet they still didn’t understand why the patriarch suddenly changed his attitude and favored Lu Chan so much. Whether they comprehend or not was no longer important.

The patriarch was already angered.

Angered more than ever before.

None dared question, not even had the courage to reply.

Though the patriarch was at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, and they were at the Early Stage of Golden Core, with only a minor gap in stage.

But only those with Golden Cores know the immense disparity that such a minor gap can create, what kind of chasm it is.

Lu Feng spoke again, "Lu Chan, continue managing the Yin Vein matters, the affairs of the Lu Family temporarily don’t require your attention."

Lu Chan quickly nodded in affirmation.

"Yes!"

Even though confused at the moment, they understood it was related to Fellow Daoist Li.

Yet they couldn’t comprehend the reason behind the dramatic change in the patriarch’s attitude. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Li has revealed something to protect themselves?

Quite possible!

Then, Lu Feng angrily declared again, "From today onward, whoever dares covet Cold Pool Mist Valley or Qi Mountain Yin Vein will similarly be expelled from the Lu Family. With the enemy at the door, still bickering over insignificant gains, truly laughable!"

The Lu Family members were further shocked and stunned by these words, glancing at Lu Chan, finding the outcome unbelievable. How could Lu Chan have earned such favor and protection from the patriarch?

Nonetheless, despite their confusion, none dared to refute.

Still dared not to speak.

Lu Shouren, Lu Hongying pondered even more now, suspecting that they had been chosen as recipients of the decree exactly because of Lu Chan. Neither dared believe it, but there was no other explanation.

After casting his eyes around the room, Lu Feng said no more, but just as he prepared to leave, the hurried steps of Lu Tianhong halted abruptly outside the room, "Patriarch, younger Lu Tianhong has a report."

The voice penetrated the magical barrier, entering the room.

The elders of the Lu Family, who had been apprehensive and dared not speak, were stirred by Lu Tianhong’s abrupt entrance into the forbidden area of the Lu Family and his audacity to disturb at this moment, yet they remained curious. But after a glance at the patriarch, they still dared not utter a single word.
