Great Venerable Yanluo left with the newborn Lu Lunhui.
Lu Ren hated to see them go, but he said nothing. As long as the Xuan King Faction remained, Lu Lunhui would always be in danger.
He could not stay by Lu Lunhui's side every moment, either. Great Venerable Yanluo was a Ten Thousand-Tier Immortal, and with him protecting Lu Lunhui, no one in the Wu Yue Immortal Realm could harm the child.
"This time, Lu Ren helped the Wuyue Clan kill Yuan Tiansheng. As clan leader, I grant him entry to the Immortal Moon Pool to cultivate!"
So declared Great Venerable Wu Yue.
"What?"
At those words, the expressions of many elders changed.
Wuyue Qian, the deputy clan leader standing nearby, immediately cupped his hands. "Clan Leader, Lu Ren did render great service when the Six Paths Immortal Sect attacked the Wuyue Clan, but only our clan's prodigies have ever been allowed into the Immortal Moon Pool!"
"Rules are dead; people are alive. Besides, Lu Ren earned the first clan leader's recognition and comprehended the Nine Character True Art. Are you saying he isn't qualified to enter the Immortal Moon Pool?"
Great Venerable Wu Yue's voice was as gentle as green willow branches, yet it carried an authority that brooked no challenge. No one dared argue.
Wuyue Qian nevertheless steeled himself and continued. "Clan Leader, rules are rules. If we break them simply because he has extraordinary talent, how can anyone trust the Wuyue Clan's rules in the future?"
He could not let Lu Ren enter the Immortal Moon Pool. With Lu Ren's talent, entering it would very likely allow him to break through again in a short time.
Though Wu Yuexuan had completely fallen from favor within the Wuyue Clan, he was still a prodigy of its younger generation.
