Chapter 245: Lu Zhen becoming the new leader?

Lu Zhen just casually shrugged and looked at everyone before greeting his mother and father.

"I greet Mother and Father," he said with his crimson gaze.

Lu Ying nodded her head with a smile on her face, while Lu Huang had closed eyes as if he was contemplating something.

"Mother, why did you summon me here?" Lu Zhen asked.

"Lu Zhen, do you want to rule this place?" Lu Ying asked with a curious expression.

"I was just looking for you because we were just discussing you becoming the leaders of this entire Phoenix City and uniting all the people here. How about it?" Lu Ying smiled as she said.

While Lu Huang was frowning.

"What happened to the spy I planted on Lu Zhen? Did she give me false intel? But how is this possible? Royalty has been deeply ingrained in her since childhood; she wouldn't betray me." From the report he had gotten from Li Nan, Lu Zhen hadn't progressed much, but seeing Lu Zhen himself, Lu Huang would be blind if he didn't see the terrifying progress of Lu Zhen.

"He has become even stronger than me…" His hand started to tremble with fear when he sensed the previous aura of Lu Zhen.

And knew that he would be dead the moment Lu Zhen seriously made a move. The gap was apparent; while Lu Zhen had soared to heaven, he had stayed as a bug without much progress, and he was getting older now and would soon die if he didn't make any breakthrough, which terrified him greatly.

Lu Huang sighed. "I am getting old," he mocked himself for being jealous of his son to the point of planting a spy.

Lu Zhen had a contemplative expression when he heard Lu Ying before a smirk gradually appeared on his face.

"I am willing to become the leader then."

To the despair of the other powers besides the Lu family, they despaired the instant Lu Zhen uttered those words. After all, this means they had to divide their interests, and they might not have as much freedom and power now as much as they had previously wanted.

"Then it's official: Lu Zhen will become the leader of the Phoenix from now on. Is there any problem with anyone?" Lu Ying asked, her eyes glinting with a murderous gaze as she looked around at everyone.

Everyone shook their heads simultaneously, feeling the intensity of Lu Ying's gaze. Even Lu Huang just shook his head; he had planned to disturb the event, but the thought of his wife terrified him to such an extent that he couldn't utter any words.

"Man up, Lu Huang, or you will be a mockery of a man forever and ever," Lu Huang suddenly thought to himself as he gritted his teeth before his eyes flashed upon seeing Lu Zhen and Lu Yin again.

"I have a little problem," Lu Huang suddenly spoke with a concerned expression.

"What is it?" Lu Ying asked, her eyes glinting.

Seeing the gaze of Lu Ying, he broke out in a cold sweat; however, somehow he managed to speak.

"He is still too young to be a leader. Although his strength is enough to suppress all sides and corners of the Lu family, he is still young and doesn't have the skills to manage things. Besides, Lu Zhen will have less time to train if he becomes the leader, causing his cultivation progress to slow down.

We don't want that for our son, do we?" Lu Huang somehow managed to utter while holding his breath.

Seeing that Lu Ying was in a contemplative expression, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Thank god she wouldn't kill me," he muttered while still holding his breath.

"Lu Zhen, what do you think of what Lu Huang said?" Lu Ying voice transmitted to Lu Zhen, as the points that Lu Huang raised were valid, and if she caused her son to progress slower in his cultivation, she would be terrified.

Hearing the voice of his mother, Lu Zhen internally sneered as he looked at Lu Huang.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about this. Besides, who said I need to manage the territory by myself?" Lu Zhen's voice transmitted to his mother and beckoned to the four women who were outside.

"Come, my wives," he said with a smirk.

Instantly, everyone's gaze was drawn as they looked at the door with curiosity.

From the door, four women entered one by one.

Xia Mei was the first to come, giving off a seductive aura. However, her eyes glinted with intelligence as she looked at everyone with a frown on her face. She elegantly carried herself as she arrived beside Lu Zhen.

Following next was Lily, his little maid, emitting a dominating aura that instantly caused everyone to look away. Her expression was as cold as ice, but the moment she saw Lu Zhen, a smile appeared on her face as she quickly ran towards him.

After that, Huang Li and Jiang Xue came at the same time, causing everyone's eyes to widen as they whispered among themselves.

"Isn't that the young miss of the Huang family that was slaughtered by the Lu family?" They amusingly looked at her with a mocking gaze and a hint of irony.

"And the other woman, isn't she the treasure daughter of the Jiang who was slaughtered during the war?"

"I heard the Lu family played…"

"Shut up, you idiot! Do you not know where you are?"

The man hurriedly shut his mouth upon the reminder.

The entire town had thought that the Jiang family was slaughtered by the Lu family, which was not true. However, for them, that was the only reason a family so close to becoming a major family would die and be slaughtered overnight.

Lu Zhen's ears twitched when he heard this, and he looked coldly at everyone with his crimson gaze.

When they saw the stare of Lu Zhen, they broke out in cold sweat and put their heads down.

"Trash," Lu Zhen sneered.
