Chapter 87 Take control of the Charles family!
The two exchanged a few words, and the Fallen Knight left first.
Looking at the other person's back, Lu Ming silently thought about the various possibilities of this cooperation.
When Lu Ming returned to the City Lord's Mansion in Sunset City, he scanned the area with his spiritual sense and found that Alia had left, but had left a letter for him.
After opening the letter, the content read: "Master, something happened at the Charles family headquarters. The traitors in the family joined forces with the Church of Light and suddenly moved in with a large number of strong men, trying to forcibly seize power."
"It's an emergency. I went back after receiving the message!"
"If you come back and see the letter, please rush to Charles Family headquarters to help me!"
After reading the letter, Lu Ming's eyes flashed with coldness.
The Church of Light had recently lost several powerful Sanctuary-level warriors, but it had not restrained itself and openly interfered in the affairs of the Charles family, intending to support a puppet to take power and control the entire family. This made him even more disgusted with the Church of Light.
Thinking of the master-servant contract signed with Arya, he had promised to help her expel the forces of the Church of Light and let her take charge of the family. Now the situation is urgent and he cannot stand idly by.
Without any delay, Lu Ming followed the instructions in the letter and immediately took the teleportation array to the southern part of the Magic Continent, a prosperous city near the sea - Charles City.
This city was built by the Charles family. It is large in scale and far more prosperous than the capital of the Blue Empire, demonstrating the family's strength and influence.
The city of Charles is located on a fertile plain, surrounded by lush forests and winding rivers. The buildings in the city are scattered and orderly, combining classical and modern styles. Each building seems to tell the glorious history of the family.
The streets are wide and clean, lined with shops and bustling with pedestrians, showing the vitality and prosperity of the city.
In the center of the city stands a majestic castle, which is the symbol of power of the Charles family. The castle's outer walls are built with solid stone, with tall towers and fluttering flags, demonstrating the family's glory and majesty.
Inside the castle, the luxurious decorations and exquisite sculptures make people feel as if they have stepped into a palace of art. Every detail reveals the family's wealth and cultural heritage.
After Lu Ming arrived in Charles City, he immediately felt the tense atmosphere in the city.
Soldiers were fully armed and patrolling the streets, and there was an oppressive atmosphere in the air.
Obviously, the turmoil within the family has affected the daily order of the city.
He quickened his pace and headed towards the family headquarters.
Lu Ming secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would ensure Arya's safety and help her consolidate her position in the family. At the same time, he would also completely eliminate the minions of the Church of Light and clear the obstacles for the future of Sunset City and the Charles family.
Lu Ming released his spiritual sense, which instantly covered the entire city and quickly grasped the situation in the city.
Arya and other core members of the Charles family were imprisoned in the dungeon of the castle, which was blocked by a powerful magic circle. The magic circle not only had defensive functions, but also could isolate the magical elements in the air and suppress mental power, making it impossible for magicians to cast magic and the knights unable to break through the defense.
Although Arya's magic skills were not affected, her strength was still weak and she was unable to break the magic circle.
Lu Ming sent a message to Arya through his spiritual sense, and the voice reached her ears clearly: "Arya, I'm here. You stay in the dungeon for now. I'll go get rid of the people from the Church of Light first, and then I'll let you out."
Hearing Lu Ming's voice, hope suddenly ignited in Arya's heart, and her originally heavy mood became much lighter.
In order to avoid attracting attention, she immediately calmed down, nodded slightly, pretended nothing had happened, and waited for rescue.
Lu Ming teleported and instantly arrived outside a magnificent church in the center of the city.
This church was specially built by the Charles family in order to maintain good relations with the Church of Light. It usually serves as a branch of the Church of Light stationed in the family, with strong men from the church stationed there for a long time. In name, it is to protect the family, but in fact it is to monitor the family's actions.
At this time, a sumptuous dining table was set in the center of the church. The traitor of the Charles family was drinking with several strong men of the Church of Light to celebrate their impending victory.
They seemed unaware that a storm was quietly approaching.
……
Lu Ming teleported and quietly sneaked into this magnificent church. There was an eerie tranquility in the air, and only the laughter coming from afar broke the silence.
He used the secret magic to hide his body, and like an invisible ghost, he quietly observed the situation inside the church.
In the center of the church, a long table was filled with delicious food. The flickering candlelight illuminated the faces of a group of people. They were the traitors of the Charles family and the strong men of the Church of Light.
They seemed unaware of the coming storm and were still immersed in the joy of victory.
"Haha, with the support of the Church of Light, we will be able to seize power in the Charles family. By then, the entire magical continent will tremble because of us!" The traitor leader raised his glass proudly, and his laughter echoed in the church.
One of the powerful men of the Church of Light, a stern-faced Paladin, nodded slightly, with greed flashing in his eyes: "The power of our church, plus the wealth of the Charles family, is enough for us to run rampant on the continent."
Just when they were getting carried away, Lu Ming's figure appeared in the center of the church like a ghost.
His appearance was like a flash of lightning, instantly illuminating the entire church and causing everyone present to fall into shock and panic.
"Your good days are over." Lu Ming's voice was cold and firm, sweeping through everyone's heart like a cold wind.
The traitor leader's face changed drastically. He quickly drew his sword and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you break in here!"
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Sword in Lu Ming's hand shone brightly, and was surrounded by demonic energy. A strong sense of oppression made everyone present feel suffocated.
"I am the one who comes to put an end to your conspiracy."
His words were like a verdict, carrying with them an unquestionable majesty.
The battle broke out instantly, and the traitors and the strong men of the Church of Light drew their swords to fight. However, Lu Ming's movements were faster, and the Heaven Devouring Demon Sword was like the sickle of the god of death. Every sword hit the target accurately, and the demonic energy surged like a tide, engulfing the enemies one by one.
"Impossible! How can you have such strong power?" A strong man from the Church of Light shouted in horror, but his voice was quickly drowned out by Lu Ming's sword energy.
Lu Ming's movements were like those of a ghost, and every move caught the enemy off guard. He used his teleportation ability to instantly appear behind the enemy and kill him with one sword, cleanly and neatly.
"We are the messengers of light, and you are making enemies with the entire church!" The traitor leader roared in despair, but his voice seemed so weak under Lu Ming's attack.
Facing the traitor's roar, Lu Ming remained indifferent.
In an instant, each of Lu Ming's attacks was precise and deadly. He was like the god of death on the battlefield, reaping the lives of his enemies.
Inside the church, the collision between demonic energy and light magic produced a deafening sound, and the entire space seemed to be shaking.
"Your light is nothing but darkness in my eyes." Lu Ming said coldly. There was no trace of mercy in his eyes, only the persistence of justice.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Ming was the only one left in the church.
The traitors and the strong men of the Church of Light all died tragically at the hands of Lu Ming's sword, and were all devoured and refined by the evil spirit.
Lu Ming did not waste time. After leaving the church, he immediately rushed to the dungeon.
Deep in the dungeon, the magic circle still flickered with a faint light, as if mocking the powerlessness of the trapped people.
The appearance of Lu Ming was like a ray of light at dawn, breaking the despair here.
With his powerful strength, he waved his hand and devoured the seal of the magic circle with his demonic energy.
Finally, with disbelief flashing in everyone's eyes, the magic circle vibrated slightly and the door of the dungeon slowly opened.
Arya was standing in the crowd. When she saw Lu Ming, her eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration.
She knew very well that this time it was Lu Ming who saved them and the entire Charles family.
She bit her lower lip lightly, with complex emotions surging in her heart, including gratitude to Lu Ming and guilt for not being able to protect her family.
"Lord Lu Ming, you saved us again." Arya took a few steps forward, her voice trembling. She bowed deeply to express her gratitude.
Since there were outsiders present, she did not call Lu Ming "master".
Lu Ming didn't mind this.
He smiled, patted Arya's shoulder and comforted her: "Arya, everything will be fine. You are safe, that's the most important thing."
With Lu Ming's help, Arya and other family members were freed.
Back at the family headquarters, senior members of the Charles family gathered together for an emergency meeting.
With Lu Ming's support, Arya stood in front of everyone. In a firm and powerful voice, she announced the treatment of the traitor and the family's future plans.
"My fellow clansmen, we have suffered an unprecedented betrayal, but fortunately, we have the support of Lord Lu Ming." Arya's words moved everyone present. "From now on, we will eliminate the corruption in our family and restore the glory of the Charles family."
However, at this time, some conservative elders questioned Arya's ability.
They believed that Arya was young and inexperienced and not qualified to be the head of the family.
"Ms. Arya, although you are brave, our family needs a mature and stable leader," an elder said bluntly, "the future of the family cannot be based on momentary courage and impulse."
What's more, some expressed dissatisfaction with Lu Ming's intervention, believing that outsiders should not interfere in the internal affairs of the Charles family.
"Master Lu Ming, we appreciate your help, but this is our family's business after all," another elder said seriously, "We don't want outsiders to get too involved, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes."
Faced with these opposing voices, Arya seemed a little helpless. She looked at Lu Ming with a hint of worry in her eyes.
However, Lu Ming's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. He did not choose to refute verbally, but chose a more direct way - speaking with strength.
Lu Ming stood up, demonic energy slowly flowing around him. His gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing through the psychological defenses of every opponent.
"I'm not here to fight for anything. I just hope you can face reality." Lu Ming's voice was calm and powerful. He raised his hand slightly, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire conference room.
The opposing elders felt their breath choked, as if they were being pressed down by an invisible mountain. Their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
He looked around coldly and said in a deep voice: "The reason why I am here and helping you solve the troubles of the Church of Light is entirely because of Arya."
“If it weren’t for Arya, I wouldn’t bother to interfere in the life and death of you people, as well as the affairs of your Charles family.”
"Now that you've been rescued, it's my idea to let Arya take charge of the family!"
"This is an order, not a discussion with you. I hope you can understand this."
Lu Ming did not hurt anyone, but the strength he displayed was enough to let everyone know that he was not someone who could be easily provoked.
"You may disagree, but please remember that the future of the Charles family requires unity, not infighting." Lu Ming's words were like a wake-up call, shocking everyone present.
At this moment, the voices of opposition gradually weakened, the elders looked at each other, and finally fell silent.
With Lu Ming's strong intervention, the conflicts within the family were temporarily resolved, and Arya was able to successfully take over the position of head of the family.
But Lu Ming knew very well that in order for Arya to truly consolidate her position in the family, more protection was needed.
In order to completely help Arya take control of the entire family and prevent intrusion from the Church of Light or other potential threats, Lu Ming decided to take a series of measures to build a solid line of defense for the Charles family.
Lu Ming carefully set up a demon teleportation array in the secret room of the Charles family.
This teleportation array is directly connected to the core area of the Warcraft Mountain Range.
There lived more than a dozen Sanctuary-level monsters that Lu Ming had taken in as his younger brothers.
Lu Ming selected two powerful Sanctuary-level monsters and had them stay in Charles City for a long time as a deterrent force for the family.
These two magical beasts, one is a huge black dragon covered with hard scales, and the other is an agile wind griffin with the ability to control elements.
Their existence is like two insurmountable mountains, deterring any enemy who dares to invade the Charles family.
If a powerful enemy attacks and the two Sanctuary-level monsters are unable to cope with it, they can then use the teleportation array to summon other Sanctuary-level monsters from the core area of the Monster Mountain Range to come to help.
If a god-level strongman attacks and cannot defeat you, just run away through the teleportation array.
Of course, only Arya knew about this teleportation array.
The other members of the Charles family knew nothing about it.
With the help of Lu Ming and the deterrence of the two Sanctuary-level monsters, the Charles family was completely stabilized.
Arya's leadership was widely recognized within and outside the family, and the family's defense system was significantly strengthened.
Lu Ming's layout not only solved the immediate problem, but also laid a solid foundation for the long-term development of the Charles family.
After resolving the Charles family issue, Lu Ming decided to go to the Dark Council headquarters, ready to work together with the fallen creatures to find a way to obtain a ball of the world's original power deep underground.
