Chapter 271: Complete Loyalty
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The flames of war raged across the Bai Emperor Mountain and all the other places. A foul wind and rain of blood enveloped the Thousand-island Lake. Battles, or, to be exact, massacres, were everywhere.
All the powerful warriors of the Thousand-island Lake were at the Bai Emperor Mountain. Warriors at other places were weak. The best realm of them all was the Soul Pond Realm. There were one or two Fate Wheel Realm warriors who stayed in some places to protect it.
On the other hand, all the armies of the three kingdoms were led by warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm and there were three or four of them on each team.
Consequently…
Everywhere was experiencing massacres, except for the God-down City. The three Royal Families hated the Thousand-island Lake with all their souls. This time, when the armies marched their way into the Thousand-island Lake, there was no order that came from high above.
No order meant the armies could do anything they wanted!
Burning houses, killing, robbing, raping, just whatever made them feel good or happy. Warriors of the Northern Desert spent their days in killing and they all had some rage buried deep in their hearts. How would they let go such a chance of letting their anger off? Without any control from the powerful warriors, the armies could bring havoc to the civilians.
It might seem brutal and inhumane, but it was the reality nonetheless. This was war. The Northern Desert could see this kind of occurrence all the time.
Winners took all and this was the law of the jungle, the rule of living at the Northern Desert.
…
The God-down Island was peaceful. All the invading enemies were killed by the Fourth Patriarch of the Cyan Phoenix Race, Ye Xiao. It was utterly easy for a warrior of the Noble Lord Realm to best thousands of low realm warriors.
Lu Li assumed command and stayed in the God-down City. He lived in his original yard. He didn’t sleep, rest, or cultivate. All he could think of was Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang’s beautiful faces.
He had received Madam Yan’s message that she wanted him to burn them some offerings every year, which made Lu Li felt awful. However, he was helpless.
He must pay back the kindness he received!
The thing was, Lu Li didn’t have the ability. Bring Ye Cha, Ming Yu and Ye Xiao and for what, death? That was unfair for Ming Yu and the other two. Put three people that were so loyal to him in harm’s way to help out two friends? That was not something that Lu Li could do.
“Strength, power, I am still too weak.”
Lu Li sighed. For all those time, he had thought that he was fast enough in cultivation and that his fighting ability was good enough. But now he saw it, it was not enough. He was still too weak. Without power, he had to sit here and watch Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang killed.
“Whoosh!”
Ming Yu came in from the outside, accompanied by some subtle noise. He said, “Scouts say that Yu Huashen is arriving with his warriors. They took Iron-armored Ships after they left the Flames Island. In two hours tops, he will be here.”
Lu Li got up and said after some thoughts, “Okay, ask Ye Xiao to have a look of how many powerful warriors are here.”
“Ye Xiao?”
It was the first time Ming Yu had heard such name. Lu Li realized where Ming Yu’s confusion was and explained, “One of the two people at the Blood Evil Island. Send a message to Liu Yi and she can pass the message along.”
“Okay!”
Ming Yu dashed out to see Pei An who immediately arranged a scout to send the message. Soon, Ming Yu came back, walked over to Lu Li and couldn’t help but ask after a while, “Young Master, who are…those two? I don’t think they are normal human beings.”
“You are right!”
Lu Li smiled lighted and said, “But I cannot tell you their identity now. I promised them that I would tell nobody. In the future, when the time is right, I will let you know. You just get this, they are completely loyal.”
Ming Yu asked, “Loyal? To you or to your father?”
“Me!”
Lu Li smiled and asked in reply, “Why? You don’t think that I am that good?”
“Well…”
Ming Yu frankly said, “I am having some doubts. Young Master, you are talented and you have some amazing qualities in you, but it is not enough for two warriors of the Noble Lord Realm to acknowledge allegiance to you. Powerful warriors have their dignity and pride. If it were not for some special reasons, things like this almost never happen.”
Lu Li didn’t get mad. Instead, he liked Ming Yu’s honesty. Lu Li nodded and said, “There are some special reasons indeed. As a matter of fact… I myself find the matter too weird. Never mind. Let’s prepare for the fight.”
Lu Li walked out with Ming Yu to a chamber where Pei An and the others stood in agitation. It was Yu Huashen who would come this time. Could Lu Li’s people manage?
Lu Li said nothing after he walked in; he just silently waited. Ye Xiao was so fast that he should be able to send a message back in an hour at most.
As he expected –
After an hour, a shadow suddenly came in, which scared Pei An and the others. A person had come into the chamber and yet they felt nothing?
Seeing that the warriors were thinking of an enemy, Lu Li waved his hand and said, “He is on our side. Patriarch Four, how is it?”
Lu Li didn’t call his name Ye Xiao in case somebody would make an inference from the name. Ye Xiao bowed and said in a hoarse voice, “Young Master, there is a warrior of the middle stage of the Soul Pond Realm, three of the Eternal Realm, more than 10 of the Fate Wheel Realm and they should be here in over an hour.”
Ye Cha and Ye Xiao called Lu Li Young Master instead of Saint Lord so others could not deduce the relationship between them and could conceal more information.
“Are there any other warriors of the Noble Lord Realm hiding nearby? Did Yu Huashen notice you?” Lu Li asked. Ye Xiao nodded and said, “There is only one warrior of the Noble Lord Realm. I am sure. He didn’t find me and I am certain of this as well.”
“Very good!”
Lu Li turned back, looked at the map on the wall, pointed to a small island to the south of the God-down Island and said, “Let’s begin here. Patriarch Four, ask your Family Patriarch to go over there. We will wait for Yu Huashen there.”
Ye Xiao looked at the map, hesitated and said, “Young Master, do you have to go? Leave it to me and my Family Patriarch. I promise that we will get you their heads.”
“It’s fine. As long as you are here, can Yu Huashen hurt me?” Lu Li smiled gently and said, “This is going to be a stunning fight and how can I miss such a good chance to learn?”
“Okay!”
Ye Xiao looked at Ming Yu and thought of Yu Huashen’s realm so he was not that worried. He flew away like a gentle breeze. Lu Li looked at Ming Yu and the two walked out.
Pei An followed Lu Li out and said, “Island Owner, we will go with you!”
The others soon came to their senses. They wouldn’t want to miss out on such a great fight. Also, Lu Li’s people could kill warriors of the Noble Lord Realm? How could they not cling onto Lu Li since he was so impressively powerful now?
“Go away!”
Lu Li glanced to them and said, “Stay in the city and don’t even send scouts to that island. Don’t blame me if you are killed by mistake.”
Lu Li didn’t want any information of the Cyan Phoenix Race to be revealed so he could not let these warriors to go. Also, Lu Li knew very well what these men was like. They could sell him out at any time.
“Let’s go!”
Lu Li looked to Ming Yu who grabbed him and leaped out of the God-down City soon and vanished.
Pei An and the others waited nervously in the plaza. If Lu Li could win this, they would be safe. If not, Yu Huashen would destroy the entire God-down City and they still had to die.
