The Invincible Dragon Emperor

The entire prison was built with cold iron. Not even warriors at the peak of the n.o.ble Lord Realm were able to damage the prison. Also, there were escorts of the n.o.ble Lord Realm guarding outside each cell day and night with a patriarch of the Human Sovereign Realm a.s.suming command. n.o.body could escape.

Lu Li was brought in. He was chained up by the Demon Trapping Chains. The Human Sovereign Realm patriarch of the External Clan ordered as soon as they were in the prison, "Put them in separate cells."

Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were both at the n.o.ble Lord Realm so something might go wrong if the four were put together. Lu Li glared at the patriarch and said, "Separate cells are fine but I must stay in the same one with my aunt."

"You don"t have the right to talk here."

The patriarch snorted. There could only be three results for whoever was kept here: exiled to the Omen Island, death sentence, or life imprisonment.

Lu Li stayed calm. He squinted at the patriarch of the External Clan and said, "What is your name? You are that sure that my grandpa is not coming back? What if he does? Are you not worried that your entire family will be killed? I think you need to do yourself a favor. Don"t force yourself to such a difficult place."

The patriarch of the External Clan paused for a moment. He stared at Lu Li for a while but said nothing. Then he waved his hand and said, "Then let us do Young Master Li a favor. Put the others in separate cells."

Lu Li and Lu Feixue were put into the same cell. The facilities inside were nice. There was a bedroom, a shower room, and a rest room. This prison held the most critical criminals. Those that were put here were big shots so the cells here were quite well-equipped.

Lu Feixue had been crying. After that patriarch left, she turned to Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, it is all my fault. Later, I will beg the patriarchs to let me shoulder all the responsibilities. You, you… don"t be so rash from now on. Take good care of yourself."

Lu Li took Lu Feixue"s hands in his, showed her to the bed and sat down. He answered with a smile, "Aunt, actually, this is not about you. It is me that they are after. You haven"t affected me in any way. It"s the other way around. So, it doesn"t matter if you want to shoulder the responsibilities or not."

"No, no."

Lu Feixue shook her head. Her face was covered in fear and guilt. Lu Li patted her shoulder and said, "Aunt, don"t worry. This matter still can be resolved. If Great Patriarch is willing to help us, we will be okay."

"Right…"

Lu Li asked after a pause, "Aunt, what happened at the Li Family? Why did you begin to kill people?"

"Because all of them deserved to die."

Lu Feixue"s eyes reddened on the thought of this. She continued while gritting her teeth, "I didn"t know this and I only got the news recently that the b*tch Li Li is hooking up with Zhao Lu…"

"Who is Zhao Lu?" Lu Li was confused.

"Who else can he be?"

Lu Feixue said with hatred, "My previous lover. The man that pledged eternal loyalty until the seas dry up and rocks decay…"

Lu Feixue went on for quite some time. Her mind was wandering so she talked about one thing for a moment and then skip to other matters. Sometimes, she showed hatred, and other times, she seemed to be in sorrow. It appeared she was rambling but Lu Li did understand what she was getting at.

Lu Feixue was in love with a man called Zhao Lu who was a young master from a small family.

But then the Lu Family disapproved the match. Lu Zhengyang grounded Lu Feixue for three years and married her to Qiu Wenze.

On the night of the wedding, Lu Feixue ran away to search for Zhao Lu. The entire family of Zhao Lu, however, disappeared, and Lu Feixue had thought that the Zhao Family was scared away by the Lu Family so she put all that behind her and married Qiu Wenze.

A while back, Lu Feixue suddenly learned that somebody spotted Zhao Lu in the Mystic Armor City and he was with a granddaughter of a patriarch from the External Clan.

Lu Li was trying to reach the Fate Wheel Realm during those days so he didn"t know this. Lu Feixue said nothing, either. She sent someone to look into this matter off the records. The day Lu Li came out from his cultivation, Lu Feixue was informed that—Zhao Lu and Li Li, granddaughter of Li Yuan, were in a tavern in the city and they acted as a couple.

Lu Feixue had been meaning to ask Zhao Lu why he left without a message.

Therefore, she went down the Mystic Armor Mountain to look for Zhao Lu in the tavern. When she arrived, she learned that Zhao Lu and Li Li had gone back to the Li Family yard.

Lu Feixue hurried over there to question them and she did see Zhao Lu. However, she was humiliated in many ways. What was worse… Zhao Lu hugged Li Li and told Lu Feixue that he was only with her because she was the daughter of the Lu Family Patriarch and that he had never loved her. He said Lu Feixue was getting old and of little worth. He told her to get lost and not to disgrace herself in public…

Lu Feixue"s mind was twisted a bit already after being tortured by Qiu Wenze for so many years. She could not push down the anger she had been holding down for so many years so she quarreled with Zhao Lu. Li Li made it all worse by calling Lu Feixue names and saying she knew no grace…

Lu Feixue was agitated and she went insane. She killed Zhao Lu, Li Li, and Li Yuan"s grandson who also insulted her.

She didn"t let the other maids and servants that insulted her go, either. She had only one thing on her mind, which was to kill everyone that ridiculed her and insulted her and then commit suicide.

"Sigh…"

Lu Li sighed after she finished her story. He said nothing. He hugged Lu Feixue and comforted her by patting her back gently.

It was clear!

This was a scheme and Lu Family was involved in making it happen. Partic.i.p.ants included patriarchs of the External Clan, Li Family and possible Li Yuan himself.

Zhao Lu had been missing for so many years, so how could he suddenly appear in the Mystic Armor City? He was a couple with Li Li?

Who was Zhao Lu?

A source of humiliation for the Lu Family.

Usually, n.o.body could get into the Mystic Armor City since it was sealed off, not to mention that Zhao Lu once had a scandal with a young lady of the Lu Family. He was a disgrace to the Lu Family. Patriarch Feng wouldn"t have let him in unless Patriarch Feng was too old to have a clear mind.

If Li Li was not an idiot, she wouldn"t find some man like Zhao Lu. Who was Li Li? How dare she to insult Lu Feixue? No matter how bad Lu Feixue"s reputation was, she was still the daughter of Lu Zhengyang. And those maids and servants insulted a lady of the Lu Family. Were they nuts?

On top of that, Patriarch Feng and the other patriarchs of the Lu Family came too late. It was certain that this was a scheme.

The target was not Lu Feixue, but Lu Li!

There were only a few people that could order Patriarch Feng, Patriarch Li and that could stop the other patriarchs of the External Clan from doing anything, only one that could devise such a grand scheme. The person"s ident.i.ty was obvious.

Lu Fenghuo, Lu Liantian or Lu Zhengtan!

When Lu Zhengtan came back, Lu Li was called over but he stood outside for an entire afternoon. This time, Lu Zhengtan happened to be away? Lu Li"s smile grew colder. Even if Lu Zhengtan was not the planner of all this, he must be in the know.

Lu Li figured this out but he was at a loss of what to do. How could he get out of this? His opponents were so cruel and they caused Lu Li and Lu Feixue to kill in public in the city and they were now at a dead end.

Not even Patriarch Eight or Patriarch Four could beg for mercy. After all, if Lu Li and Lu Feixue were not punished severely, the public wouldn"t be satisfied and the warriors of the External Clan wouldn"t be calmed down.

It could get worse…

If Lu Zhengtan made a verdict as soon as he came back, not even the Great Patriarch could say another word. After all, Lu Zhengtan was the current Family Master, the commander of the Lu Family with no one coming in second.

Lu Li thought for a long time but realized that there was no other way out. Either he would be sentenced to death or exiled to the Omen Island.
