Chapter 1102: Internal FeudTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Guangyuan was terrified. He thought he was being scolded by Lu Zhengyang just now, given Lu Li"s momentum. But the former came to his senses. There was something wrong with Lu Li"s words!
Many souls had sacrificed but the Lu Family should not be blamed because this was a piece of land without an owner.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement announced on behalf of the Demon-slaying Hall, identifying this piece of land uninhabited, which meant fighting over it was legal.
Also, the major families could not intervene or take sides. Therefore, Lu Li accusing them of being blinded was being interpreted as asking for trouble.
Lu Guangyuan, of course, was a disciple of the Lu Family from a branch of the family. Deacons did not have the right to meet with Lu Li. Lu Guangyuan only had the chance to throw some glances to Lu Li in the distance in the past.
So, Lu Guangyuan did not recognize Lu Li. The former was hopping mad. Who was this lad? How could he be so arrogant? How could he be so intimidating? Lu Guangyuan found Lu Li unfamiliar and believed the latter was not from one of the major four families, especially the Lu Family or else he could tell.
“How dare you!”
Lu Guangyuan took out a sword from his Interspatial Ring and bellowed, “Punk, here is your chance. Get to your knees and notify your family. Have a senior in your family come over. Otherwise, you will die in vain under my sword!”
“Ha, ha, ha~”
Bai Xiashuang burst into laughter. A deacon of the Lu Family was asking Lu Li, the leader of the Lu Family, where he was from? The deacon asked Lu Zhengyang to come? If Lu Li didn"t reveal his ident.i.ty, there would be a case of internal strife.
Bai Xiashuang"s laughter stunned Lu Guangting. How could she smile under such circ.u.mstances? Young ladies should be terrified out of wit, shouldn"t they? If Bai Xiashuang was in a sane mind, she must be acting out of reason.
Lu Guangting threw a look at Lu Li and used psychic power to check carefully. When the former noticed his white hair, his heart trembled.
There were many men with white hair at the Great Land. Some special races had all kinds of hair colors. However, Lu Guangting sensed something was not right given Lu Li"s domineering power and the powers in his words.
Lu Li drank his bones. Though Lu Guangting was at the Earth Immortal Realm, he could not find out which realm Lu Li was at. Lu Guangting tried to sense Lu Li"s energy, only to find it unfathomable, unable to find out.
“Oh no~”
A young man with abysmal energy, white hair, and strong momentum. There was only one such man of the Great Land. At first, Lu Guangting didn"t think of this possibility. Now, he was more and more convinced.
But Lu Guangyuan was losing patience. He was about to do something when someone slapped at the back of his head and smashed him away.
“Well…”
Family Patriarch and warriors of the Zhao Family were stunned still. They finally saw Lu Guangting taking action. Little did they know that the target was Lu Guangyuan, not Lu Li.
“Brother Six?”
Lu Guangyuan was about to fly into rage, having suffered this sudden attack, but suppressed down his anger when he saw it was Lu Guangting. Looking at Lu Guangting with astonishment, Lu Guangyuan asked, “Why have you…”
“Shut up!”
Lu Guangting scolded him coldly. Then, he dropped to one knee with respect and said, “Nice to meet you, Young Master Li.”
“What~”
Everyone was stunned. Lu Guangting was an Earth Immortal Realm warrior and a patriarch of the Lu Family. He was one of the higher-ups in the Lu Family. He was kneeling to a young man? Many people were confused. They could not think straight.
“Young Master Li?”
Lu Guangyuan and the other deacon of the Lu Family realized something. There was only one person in the Great Land that could make Lu Guangting kneel and was called “Young Master Li”, Lu Li.
“Plop!”
Lu Guangyuan dropped to his knees, trembling, while the other deacon flew to the ground and knelt down in fear.
The one the patriarchs and deacons in the Lu Family feared the most was not the Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Lu Zhengyang who was always strict and old-fas.h.i.+oned, or Great Grandpa Five, but Lu Li.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement didn"t manage the Lu Family. While Lu Zhengyang could be mean and old-fas.h.i.+oned, as he aged, he became more softhearted. He wouldn"t implement heavy penalties even when there were wrongdoings. Great Grandpa Five, on the other hand, was the one who tried never to offend anybody.
Lu Li was never attached to the Lu Family. Back in the days, Lu Family disappointed him. Therefore, when Lu Zhantian and Lu Fengyun fell to his hands, they didn"t end up well.
What was more, as the leader of Great Land, Lu Li"s orders would not be disputed by Lu Zhengyang, Great Grandpa Five and Patriarch of Law Enforcement.
If this matter was not handled delicately, Lu Li could banish the deacons and patriarch from the Lu Family, which would be the end of them, even if not killed directly.
Lu Guangyuan, in particular, almost wet his pants in fear. He felt fortunate that Lu Guangting had slapped him away. Or else if he did strike Lu Li, he would be punished heavily when he returned to the Lu Family even Lu Li didn"t kill him now.
Since he was recognized, Lu Li didn"t want to conceal his ident.i.ty further. His body glowed as his muscles moved and grew taller. His looks were more handsome as he restored his own appearance.
Everyone could recognize him now. Lu Li"s portrait was found in every city and many people had committed his looks to their memories.
“Plop, plop!”
The warriors dropped to their knees. Family Patriarch and warriors of the Zhao Family were scared out of their wits. They could never imagine that this young man was the hero of the Heaven Reverse Universe.
“All glory to Grand Master Lu.”
Master of the Flames City was overjoyed. He dropped to his knees and shouted with his warriors; their eyes filled with tears.
They had thought that the Flames City was doomed and so was the Ren Family. Now, Lu Li came here and was helping them?
“All glory to Grand Master Lu.”
The warriors all pa.s.sionately chanted. Whether they were from the Ren Family or the Zhao Family, everyone was choked up with emotions. After all, it was a privilege to see Lu Li once.
“Lu Guangting, come with me!”
Lu Li said nothing. He turned around and flew away, emotionlessly. Lu Guangting stood up and went after him in a hurry. He saw Jiang Qiling and the twins coming too, so he smiled at them fawningly. Though the three of them had disguised their looks, Lu Guangting could tell who they were.
“Hmm~”
Bai Xiashuang snorted, unhappily. But she wouldn"t complain about Lu Li"s presence.
Thirty miles later, Lu Li turned to Lu Guangting and asked coldly, “Now, tell me. What is going on? You know what will happen if you don"t give me a satisfactory answer.”
“Yes, of course!”
Lu Guangting dropped to his knees, terrified and answered honestly, “Young Master Li, I am sorry. I am guilty. Zhao Family bribed me with billions of Xuan Crystals and asked me to be their supporter. They didn"t expect me to help when they were expanding territories, only to make sure that the rules at the owned land are followed. I will support them when other bigger families are against them. I was greedy, so I said yes because I didn"t think that it was a violation of rules.”
“Unowned land? Rules?”
Lu Li was confused. He looked at Jiang Qiling and the twins. The latter was puzzled as well. Only Jiang Qiling was deep in thought.
