Since there is suppression, why is there light?

"You've lost."

Lu Xunyang stood atop the void, covered in blood, his voice ringing like iron.

Across from him, the Lord Lu was riddled with countless bloody pits. His long hair hung matted with blood, his head bowed, his eyes dim beyond measure.

"My lord...!"

In the distance, several elders of Lu Prefecture watched in stunned disbelief, their auras feeble.

They couldn't believe Lu Xunyang had defeated them so utterly, even with the joint efforts of the two prefecture lords and their own.

"Lu Xunyang, Prince Lu!"

The second elder of Lu Prefecture cried out in anguish. His legs trembling, he dropped to his knees in the void.

"I beg you, spare my lord! For the sake of your own Lu Prefecture bloodline, leave Lu Prefecture a sliver of hope!!!"

The onlookers watched, struggling to take it in.

The second elder of Lu Prefecture, usually so high above everyone else, was now kneeling before Lu Xunyang, begging him to spare the Lord Lu's life.

"Second Elder, get up!"

He snapped:

"How can an elder of Lu Prefecture kneel?!"

His voice shook the air. Blood sprayed from his body as he stared fixedly at Lu Xunyang.

"Tell me, what exactly did you go through?!"

Even now, his eyes were filled with unwillingness and shock.

He had never imagined Lu Xunyang could be this powerful.

He couldn't fathom
