The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Once again, Lu Li took out the Slayer"s blood . He observed for a moment . The visual that came to his mind was something he hadn"t seen for quite a while now . The sunset glow was as red as blood . A young man with white hair was faced with crowds of demons and fiends swarming toward him .

The Slayer walked toward them with a saber in his hand, slowly . Every time he swung his saber, he could kill several demons . His moves were graceful, elegant and casual as if he was just waving mosquitoes away .

Every time he swung his saber, Xuan Qi in heaven and earth would gather and bear down on the demons, rendering them still . The demons could do nothing when they saw the saber coming at them and cutting them in half .

Lu Li"s breaths shortened and his eyes grew redder . The blood was boiling in his body . He made a great effort to put the cork back . He closed his eyes and take deep breaths . The killing intent in the Slayer"s blood was too strong . Even though Lu Li had made signs of progress, he could not take that violent spirit for long .

In the old days, Lu Li might fall asleep right away so that his soul could recover . But this time, he did not . He closed his eyes and rested for the time for one incense stick to burn . Afterward, he started cultivating at once and entered the Transcendence State to study the Slayer"s move .

G.o.d of Barbarian once said!

Since Lu Li once used the Slayer"s move, it implied that Lu Li was inspired to some extent or there were imprints of the Slayer"s move in his body as well . If Lu Li could find the integrating point, he would push a door open to a new path and eventually learn the Slayer"s move .

Lu Li still remembered the visuals . Now was the best time to study the Slayer"s move . Even though his soul was tired, he struggled to use the method of Transcendence State, and his soul entered a completely serene world of darkness .

In this state, he felt his mind was functioning better, and there was something he could not quite tell . The visual of the Slayer was particularly clear . He could see all the details and all the specific movements in s.p.a.ce .

"Okay!"

Lu Li was delighted . The weakness in his soul had been swept away . He forgot everything else and concentrated on the Slayer"s move .

Five days later, he opened his eyes, confused . He had been working for five days but did not achieve much . He seemed to have grasped a gist of something but could not quite put a pin on it .

His soul was exhausted . He could not help but fall asleep which was the best medicine to treat a weak soul .

Having slept for a day, he woke up . This time, he did not try to go back to cultivation again . He walked out of the Wicked Bead and washed up .

He then used psychic power to check . Surprisingly, Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue were cultivating, but Jiang Qiling was not .

"Shuang-er…"

Lu Li was stunned . Bai Xiashuang was never fond of cultivating . The Prison of Wood was buzzing with activity . It was rare that she didn"t go out to have fun .

Jiang Qiling was sitting on a patio by herself, troubled . Lu Li walked over; he told the servants to prepare some dishes and went to the patio .

Jiang Qiling was at the middle stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, which was quite impressive . However, as Lu Li walked into the patio, she was still in a trance . He was confused . He came to her and hugged her from behind .

"What?"

Jiang Qiling was alerted . A glint of coldness rose in her eyes . Then, she saw who it was . Looking at Lu Li with delightful surprise, she said, "Darling, you have finished cultivating?"

He kissed her gently on her neck and asked, "What happened? Why are you here on your own, absent-minded?"

"It"s okay!"

Jiang Qiling smiled . "I just hit a rock in my cultivation and am kind of vexed . "

"I see!"

Lu Li smiled in response to what she said but did not say much . Some maids served the dishes, and Lu Li poured wine into the goblets . Handing one to Jiang Qiling, he said, "We have been married for some time now . We know each other, and we understand each other . You can tell me anything . Is it something you cannot deal with? Let me . "

"Hmm!"

Jiang Qiling forced a smile . She shook her head . "I know I cannot fool you . Yes, something has happened . Jiang Wuwo… has done something wrong . I am struggling to find a way to tell you . "

"My father-in-law?"

Lu Li was taken aback . Jiang Wuwo once was the Family Patriarch of the Jiang Family . He had always been able to look at the big picture . How could he possibly do something that would trouble her?

"It"s about women . "

Jiang Qiling was embarra.s.sed to say it . She was silent for a while since she was still too ashamed to speak out .

Lu Li took her hand . He served her a bowl of soup and one for himself before he said with a smile, "It"s okay . For me, everything can be handled . That woman… is she related to me somehow? You are afraid to tell me!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Qiling answered with shame, "Do you remember Zi Lian? She started with a relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Wuwo lately . I heard that… she once had a thing for you?"

"Poof~"

Soup spurted out from Lu Li"s mouth . He was shocked . Even though prepared for a surprise, this news was astonis.h.i.+ng to him .

Zi Lian did fancy him and pursued him once, but he had no romantic feelings for her .

She was in a relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Wuwo? Lu Li thought Zi Lian was one of the girls with unreasoning pa.s.sion . She might never fall for another man if Lu Li turned her down .

"Is it revenge? She cannot become my wife so… she is becoming my mother-in-law?" Lu Li had an idea, one he thought quite likely .

Jiang Wuwo never married since the pa.s.sing of Jiang Qiling"s mother . Lu Li knew about that .

Zi Lian was good-looking and more importantly, she had been progressing . Reaching the Earth Immortal Realm had increased her social status .

The world had no shortage of pretty girls . Beauty in itself did not amount to much . If a girl had nothing but good looks, she would become a toy for a man with power and wealth . If she had some strong connections, she might be able to marry into a rich household . If the girl came from a rich household herself, then she would be very popular .

Cases in point would be Jiang Qiling and Ji Mengtian .

Zi Lian had come from a wealthy and influential family . After reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, she became quite popular . Jiang Family would want to win her over, which was to be expected . However, the Jiang Family had many young masters . Why would Jiang Wuwo get in touch with her in person? Zi Lian was in the same generation as Lu Li . This was incest .

Of course!

In this world, warriors had a long lifespan . A man of one or two hundred years old marrying a girl was nothing strange .

But in this case, there were gossips about Zi Lian and Lu Li!

It was true that Lu Li never loved her . That being said, if Jiang Wuwo was in a sane state, he would not have flirted someone that had fancied Lu Li .

Therefore, Zi Lian must have taken the initiative to flirt with Jiang Wuwo . She was either seeking revenge or giving herself up . The fact that she liked Jiang Wuwo for who he was could be unlikely even though he was elegant and charming .

"Never mind!"

Lu Li decided not to think about this matter anymore . Since he never had a romantic feeling about her, then who she ended up with was none of his business . However, Lu Li did feel bothered to think that he might have to address Zi Lian as mother-in-law in the future .

Jiang Qiling sighed . What she said next troubled Lu Li more . "Yesterday, at the Prison of Wood, Zi Lian killed a young master from the Ye Family . For her sake, Jiang Wuwo almost broke into a fight with the Ye Family . "
