Chapter 816: Brothers in Arms
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The four alien races did not start off with a united mind and heart. However, as the master of the Asmodians reached immortality, the four alien races became more united than ever. They had seen hope and their objective was to wipe out the Demon-slaying Hall, to invade the Great Land and to occupy the fabulous and prosperous land.
Once upon a time, the four alien races could score anything they wanted at the Central Plains and they belittled everyone else. Similar to the situation of the Cyan Phoenix Race, the Central Plains was the ancestral land of the four alien races. They had predecessors buried in this land, a land where their past glories were written on.
For more than hundreds of thousands of years, the four alien races had been longing, looking forward to killing their way back to the Great Land, to take back their ancestral land and to restore their past fame.
Therefore, this time, their attack had been exceptionally ferocious. All their powerful warriors spread out. A large number of warriors were gathered in the Demon-slaying Battleground. The four alien races had a fast breeding speed and the Asmodians had a particularly large population. Loss of lives was not their primary concern. On the other hand, for humans, the casualties were great. The human race was faced with imminent danger.
The Deputy Master did not come to ask for the favor from Lu Li because he was too proud for that. He had to turn to Patriarch of Law Enforcement who could go to Lu Li.
Lu Ling had in her control Walking Puppets which were killer tools to exterminate low-level warriors. Lu Li, with the Wicked Bead in his hand, would not be afraid of the Asmodian Lord. What was more, Lu Li had many Earth Immortal Realm warriors as his soul mate. Lu Renhuang also possessed impressive abilities. If those people could lend a helping hand, things might be different.
Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three described the situation in the Demon-slaying Hall. Jiang Qiling and Lu Ling both looked at Lu Li, waiting for him to make the decision of whether they should take actions or not.
Lu Ling had her own view. That being said, Lu Li was the backbone of their group now so his order preceded other’s decisions.
Lu Li thought about it for the time for half an incense stick to burn. He stood up and said solemnly, “Grandpa Jiang, Great Grandfather Three, please go and let Patriarch of Law Enforcement know that I will bring people with me to the Demon-slaying Battleground after I make due arrangements. I think I will be arriving in a month and a half at most.”
“Thank you!”
Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three looked at each other with delight. Lu Li had made a clear distinction between his personal anger and hatred among the races. Both thought their trip was worth their while.
The two bid farewell at once. The situation in the Demon-slaying Hall was worsening day by day. They must go back and take control.
When the two were gone, Jiang Qiling asked Lu Li, “Are you really going to do that?”
“Yes!”
Lu Li nodded. “The conflict between us, the Deputy Master and those families are internal struggles. But our fight with the four alien races is about the entire human race. We must make a clear distinction of that. Besides…when will I ever have the chance to kill Ji Mengtian and Yang Xuan if I don’t go to the Demon-slaying Hall? They will always be my snake in the grass as long as they are still out there in the world. They will bite us one day like vipers sooner or later. When I get there, I will find a chance to finish them once and for all.” Lu Li said.
“He is right!”
Lu Ling nodded in agreement, “Personal feelings should not be mixed with the feud between the races. Father is in the Prison of Wood, though, and it will be some time before he gets back here. Well…I can take the time and make more Walking Puppets.”
Walking Puppets could be as powerful as Human Sovereign Realm warriors. No blade and spear could pierce the Walking Puppets. Average Human Sovereign Realm warriors would find it hard to kill those Walking Puppets, which could come in handy in dealing with alien races’ warriors and the damage they posed could be lethal.
Many of the Beasts of Primordial Chaos in the Inferno were killed, which meant that a large number of beast souls were harvested and sealed. The Mystical Materials were abundant. Making more Walking Puppets could be easy.
Lu Li went back to cultivation. But he did send Leng Wuxin to find Lu Renhuang. With Lu Renhuang’s abilities, Lu Li believed that it would be more than easy for the two of them to cooperate and kill Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the four races.
The Deserted World, Inferno, Clouds Plains, Serenity Plains, and Northern Desert had quieted down. The previous invasion took a heavy toll but what Lu Li did in the Samsara City had passed around the Great Land. The death of the Samsara Palace could, in some way, be a revenge for the deceased. Popular sentiments had calmed down.
Lu Li continued to study the line diagram while Lu Ling had people making Walking Puppets. Leng Wuxin went to look for Lu Renhuang. At the same time, Ming Yu was deploying forces. His plan was to let those achieved and those that wanted to go to the Demon-slaying Battleground to hone their skills to participate and contribute to the battle.
Higher realms did not necessarily mean strong abilities. If a warrior only cultivated in isolation, the warrior could reach the Human Sovereign Realm and a powerful Noble Lord Realm would still be able to kill him or her. If one wanted to grow stronger, one must steel oneself and develop in battles of blood.
Lu Renhuang came back after more than a couple of days. The number of Walking Puppets had reached 50. Their window of time was not long enough. Even though they have enough Mystical Materials and even if they were working around the clock, Lu Ling and her team could only make these many Walking Puppets.
Lu Ling had decided not to go this time. She taught Lu Li how to make the Walking Puppets. She would stay in command in the Inferno. What was more, she wanted to take some time to cultivate. Being of fire phoenix birth, she should be able to achieve great things. It would be a waste of her talent if she did not cultivate.
Lu Li had selected those he would take to the war. Of the 13 Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves, just five would go with him. The rest would either stay in the City of Mystic Armor, or the Serene Cloud City at the entrance to the Deserted World, or in the Deserted World.
Ye Cha had reached the Human Sovereign Realm for some time now. Naturally, he would go with Lu Li. He was the best of the scouts and Lu Li needed him to collect information. Meng Zhi asked to go as well. Now that he was also at the Human Sovereign Realm, he wanted to rejuvenate the Mammoth Race. Mammoth Race and Cyan Phoenix Race were both famous races in ancient times. They had stayed in the shadows for too long. Now, it was time for them to come back to the light.
With Lu Li as their support, neither race had to cover themselves up anymore. They could walk in the world. They could return to the Central Plains and nobody would have the nerves to kill their people.
Lu Li had promised that he would take the ancestral lands back for the two races. As a matter of fact, he could deliver his promise now. Their ancestral lands lied in where the Yaksha Race was. Lu Li could have the race wiped out and the two races would have their lands back.
But Lu Li had not taken action. He was still young and when he grew and unified the world, it would be a piece of cake for them to take back the ancestral lands.
Many young masters from the Bai Family, Yu Family, and Zi Family signed up and more young disciples from other families responded to the call. They had spent a long time cultivating in the Inferno at this moment. It was a rare chance for them to go out and explore. Plus, they would be going with Lu Renhuang. How could they miss such a great opportunity?
Lu Li could not put all of them in the Wicked Bead. Those were just regular warriors and no matter how frenzied Deputy Master was, he would not go so far as to murder regular warriors.
Lu Li told those warriors to teleport to the Great Buddhist Temple on their own and then people there would be taking them to the Demon-slaying City.
Many warriors had volunteered. Lu Li could not protect all of their lives. As long as Deputy Master and all the big families did not step over the lines, the war against alien races would follow regular procedures.
Together with some patriarchs of the Cyan Phoenix Race, Ye Cha left first. They were going to explore the way for Lu Li and the others. As long as Lu Li was still alive, nobody would have the courage to create trouble for Ye Cha.
Everything was ready. Lu Li took Jiang Qiling and Little White with him, and bid farewell to Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang. They and Lu Renhuang left the Deserted World, teleported to the City of Mystic Armor and planned to enter the Demon-slaying Battleground there.
At the Demon-slaying Battleground, Lu Li found, to his surprise, that Ye Luo was waiting with a couple of warriors there with him. Three months ago, Ye Luo just got married. Lu Li, Lu Ling and Lu Zhengyang went to his wedding ceremony. But Lu Renhuang didn’t since he was in the Prison of Wood at that time.
“You are going to the Demon-slaying Battleground?”
Lu Li noticed that numerous Human Sovereign Realm warriors of the Tumulus of Universe were here. They even came with one Earth Immortal Realm warrior. It was quite impressive. The number of Noble Lord Realm warriors had reached at least thousands.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Ye Luo laughed. “Humans are faced with fatal danger. When a bird’s nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact. Ye Family cannot be the coward when all of you are out there fighting. Lu Li, it has been years since we fought like brothers in arms and I do miss that. Also, this is a great chance for me to appreciate your impressive abilities.”
“Then, let us go. We shall fight shoulder to shoulder and we will crack down on the alien races!”
Lu Li waved and they flew to the north where an entrance to the Demon-slaying Battleground was located.
Lu Zhengyang and Great Grandfather Five watched as Lu Li and the others left. Great Grandfather Five smiled to his ears when he said, “Zhengyang, your grandson is amazing. Maybe, we will have a second Emperor of Heaven Reverse soon and he will be in our family.”
On the rigid face of Lu Zhengyang crawled up a smile. He was content and pleased.
