The Invincible Dragon Emperor

After Yu Lun said that it was too late, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang’s expressions turned gloomy. Even though n.o.body could say for sure how Bai Xi and the others would think of this, them standing behind Bai Qiuxue silently was a testimony of their att.i.tude. If Lu Li died today, they would not let the Yu Family off the hook.

Yu Huashen sent a message at once to see if there was still a chance of saving Lu Li. Bai Qiuxue and the others said nothing, nor did they enter the fortress. They stood there waiting for the result. Of course, Yu Huashen could not leave. He stood in anxiety, awaiting further news, awaiting the situation to be worsened.

Zi Lian was regretting. She should have taken control of the situation and asked the Yu Family to let it go. Now, there were signs of things spinning out of control. If Lu Li died, then Bai Qiuxue would seek revenge from the Yu Family in a fit of rage. Following that, Bai Xi would flip out as well. By then, n.o.body could manage the situation anymore.

After a moment of silence, Yu Lun uttered words of suspicion, "Lord Bai Xi, you say that the Bai Family didn’t send anyone to protect Lu Li? However, according to our intelligence, there is a mysterious powerful warrior that has been following Lu Li around. Many scouts of our family died because of him. At the Feng Shan County, that mysterious powerful warrior even disguised himself as Hunchback Tian and lured our scouts away. Many families around here know this. As far as I can tell, that warrior should be at the Eternal Realm. There aren’t many Eternal Realm warriors at the Thousand-island Lake, right?"

"I already said no!" Bai Xi coldly said, "Do you think I will lie to you?"

Silence fell again. Bai Qiuxue and the others were confused. There was a warrior of the Eternal Realm protecting Lu Li? All the powerful warriors of the Bai Family were here. Then who was that mysterious man?

There were indeed few warriors at the Eternal Realm at the Thousand-island Lake. Apart from the ones of the Bai Family, there were only three Family Patriarchs of Fourth-rank Families at this Realm. Those families, however, had nothing to do with Lu Li.

A family could only qualify as a Fifth-rank one with three warriors at the Eternal Realm, and a family with three warriors at the n.o.ble Lord Realm would be a Sixth-rank one. Since among the three families mentioned earlier only had one warrior of the Eternal Realm, they still could only count as Fourth-rank ones. It was the same logic for the Bai Family and the Yu Family. Without three warriors at the n.o.ble Lord Realm, they could only be regarded as Fifth-rank ones.

There were some Fifth-rank Families of the Northern Desert and some warriors of the n.o.ble Lord Realm, yet there was no force that boasted three such warriors on its own. For that reason, the most powerful three Royal Families were only Fifth-rank Families.

Bai Xi was certain that the Bai Family had sent no one to follow Lu Li in secret. None of the Family Patriarchs of the three Fourth-rank Families had anything to do with him. Then who was the man helping Lu Li?

Could he be the mysterious warrior of the n.o.ble Lord Realm under the Cliff of Purgatory? That was not a coincidence that he had made a move? What was so special about Lu Li? What was in him that could make a powerful warrior follow him around? Could it be Ming Yu? However, Ming Yu never made a presence at the Blood Evil Island afterwards.

The matter had become increasingly confusing and complicated. Bai Qiuxue felt there were more and more secrets in Lu Li.

"Whoos.h.!.+"

After the time for an incense stick to burn, a leader of scouts ran toward the Yu Family compound. Kneeling down on one knee, he said, "Family Patriarch, we have some information from the Wu Ling County."

Coldness rose in Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang’s eyes. Bai Xi and the others released their mighty killing intent. Every one of the Yu Family was ready to fight. The air in the city had become even more depressing as if a war was about to break out.

"Tell me!" Said Yu Huashen, biting his teeth.

"Lu Li is okay!"

As soon as the scout leader finished his words, the atmosphere in the city relaxed. The Yu Family people were relieved, but what the scout leader said next made the patriarchs of the Yu Family flew into rage. He continued, "But all our people over there died. Yu Yang, four Fate Wheel Realm warriors and many of the Soul Pond Realm were killed. Lu Li and Hunchback Tian are ma.s.sacring the Wu Ling County… as we speak!"

"What?"

The plaza was seized in a huge commotion as many people were discussing. A moment ago, many people wished for the survival of Lu Li. Now, they were praying for tearing Lu Li into pieces…

Zi Lian appeared to be stunned. Soon, she smiled a bitter smile. Lu Li really was a piece of work. He would not let it go without make a big scene.

Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang looked at each other and relaxed for a bit. It was unlikely that scouts of the Yu Family would spread false information so Lu Li really was alive.

Killed five Fate Wheel Realm warriors?

The twins thought of the mysterious powerful warrior. As far as they could imagine, Lu Li and Hunchback Tian were incapable to doing this. So it must be the powerful warrior.

Bai Xi and the others frowned but said nothing, engaged in thinking who that was. Thousand-island Lake belonged to the Bai Family. Everything should be under the control of the Bai Family. Now that there was an unidentified powerful warrior, it upset Bai Xi.

Yu Huashen’s shout attracted everyone’s attention. He said, "Who killed Yu Yang and the others? Did the scouts in that area noted his whereabouts?"

The scout leader said with hesitation, "According to the information I got, Yu Bu and Yu Qi were killed in the Di Long Tribe. First, their Fate Wheels were destroyed and then their heads were crushed. It is yet to be determined who killed them. However, there is somebody saying that…Lu Li killed them. They died in the same way as Yu Yang. We are certain that Yu Yang died in the hands of Lu Li. Many people in the county saw Lu Li break Yu Yang’s Fate Wheel and then kill him!"

"Shut up!"

Yu Huashen roared angrily. He could not buy this absurd theory. Many people were uttering sounds of doubts in the city as well. Zi Lian, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were all surprised. Then they shook their heads as n.o.body was convinced.

Lu Li killed Yu Yang who was at the peak of the Fate Wheel Realm?

This was not a joke? If any warrior of the Spirit Sea Realm could kill another one at the peak of the Fate Wheel Realm, there would be no order at the Northern Desert. The cla.s.ses of Wu Dao and the realms would have to be re-defined.

It was utterly difficult to kill a man of a higher realm, not to mention two realms higher. It was practically impossible. n.o.body here could believe this, not even Bai Qiuxue.

There was only one person who trusted the result, Liu Yi!

She had been a witness of the development of Lu Li, and she was amazed at the miracles created by Lu Li again and again. Liu Yi could even believe that he could kill warriors of the Eternal Realm, let alone several at the Fate Wheel Realm. The speed at which Lu Li grew was so fast that Liu Yi had developed an unquestioning admiration and trust to Lu Li.

Therefore, she said in a low voice to Bai Qiuxue, "Lady Qiuxue, we should go find our Island Owner."

Bai Qiuxue considered it. The matter had run its course to this point. Further trouble-making could make it hard to wind the matter up.

What were they here for? To help Lu Li. Of course, after Bai Xi got here, he was thinking about getting back at the Yu Family. After all, trying to kill Lu Li was indirectly taking vengeance on the Bai Family which was humiliating.

Now that their target was reached, and the Yu Family dared not to make any further moves, Bai Xi and others had shamed Yu Huashen so they could let it go while the situation was still favorable to them.

Bai Qiuxue looked at Bai Xi who nodded. Then she looked at Zi Lian and said, "Lady Lian, since Lu Li is making so many troubles, there is no way that we will leave him alone. We will go to stop him right away and we will bring him back to discipline him. Family Patriarch Yu, I have said some inappropriate words. Please forgive me. Goodbye."

Zi Lian bowed and bid her farewell with a smile. She was relieved. Yu Huashen and the others of the Yu Family said nothing with coldness on their faces. While they felt they could put their mind at ease, they were enraged. The Yu Family was greatly humiliated this time. They would once again become a cause for laughs once the news spread across the Northern Desert…

However, what else could they do?

Yu Huashen was not confident that he could win a fight against Bai Xi. What if he could win? Yu Lingxu was the one in the wrong in the matter of the Tomb of the Dragon King. If Yu Huashen engaged in a fight, the Old Man of Heaven Prison would send out troops to the Yu Emperor City.

"Swis.h.!.+"

Bai Xi, Bai Qiuxue, and the others flew towards the Wu Ling County in streaks of light. All Yu Huashen did was to release his Xuan Energy furiously and bombard the gate of the Yu Family compound behind him.
