Xu Chen was in the habit of drinking afternoon tea, and usually with the company of a concubine. Xu Chen had married many concubines, probably 15 or 16. Now, he was drinking tea in one of their rooms and three concubines were there.
The three concubines were as pretty as flowers and jade, not second to Xu Fangfei. The concubines were young, in good shape, and in revealing clothes. One of them was rubbing Xu Chen"s shoulder, one of them rubbing his feet and the other one feeding tea to Xu Chen in his arms. She was not using cups to feed him, but her mouth...
Bang, bang, bang~
From the outside came some noises of hurried footsteps. Xu Chen looked displeased. He got his hand out from the concubine"s dress and waved it. The concubine stood behind him walked into the backside of the room. Xu Chen was ready to scold the man that came.
"Bang!"
The door was b.u.mped open as a person rushed in. Xu Chen was instantly filled with killing intent. The Xuan Energy glowed in his hand as if he was ready to kill at any time.
When he saw it was a girl, his daughter Xu Fangfei, he became less intense. He unhappily scolded, "Fangfei, don"t you know how to behave? Why don"t you knock?"
Xu Fangfei"s robes were messy, her eyes were filled with tears, and her face was pale. She didn"t look at the three aunts in revealing clothes; she just said in a choking voice, "Father, my big brother died and so did Second Patriarch. Their Jade Talisman of Life broke."
"Boom!"
Xu Chen suddenly stood up and looked at the two broken Jade Talismans of Life in Xu Fangfei"s hand. His strong body trembled, and killing intent surged around him. One of the concubines was so frightened that she walked back and fell to her hips.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
After a second of pause, Xu Chen flew out and angrily shouted, "All the warriors above the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, a.s.semble outside the yard, right now!"
Xu Chen"s shout was loud, which resounded through half of the G.o.d-down City. The entire Xu Family was in a mess. It had been years since Xu Chen yelled like this the last time. Something must be wrong.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoos.h.!.+"
Many people ran towards the Xu Family gate, waiting outside in order while looking confused.
The Xu Family was a Fourth-rank Family. Even though it ranked the last among all the Fourth-rank Families of the Thousand-island Lake, there were many warriors. There were at least 200 warriors of the Soul Pond Realm, and more than 10,000 of the Spirit Sea Realm.
The Chief Patriarch of the Xu Family rushed over. He saw Xu Chen walking over angrily and asked, "Family Patriarch, what has happened?"
Xu Chen closed his eyes in lament and said, "Yaoyang and Sihe died, just now!"
"What?"
Xu Tianwen" face twitched and cold glares came from his eyes. Xu Sihe and Xu Yaoyang went to supervise the fight at the Blood Evil Island. They both died? Something must have happened over there.
"Lu Li!"
Xu Tianwen clenched his teeth in hatred and shouted. No matter how Xu Sihe and Xu Yaoyang died, Lu Li must have something to do with it. Who else at the Thousand-island Lake dared to kill Xu Yaoyang apart from Lu Li?
The warriors of the Xu Family gathered quickly. In the time for one incense stick to burn, many warriors above the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm were waiting outside the gates. There were 1000 of them.
Xu Chen walked out with Xu Tianwen. Regardless if everyone was here, Xu Chen waved his hand and said, "All of you, go to the Blood Evil Island as soon as you can and level that place!"
"Yes!"
All the warriors ran to the city gate at the top of their speed in an orderly manner. Many of them had no idea what had happened, but they all could tell that Xu Chen was enraged. Anyone who dared to displease him right now would be killed.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Xu Chen and Xu Tianwen both released their Fate Wheel and flew to the sky towards the city gate in a blur.
The weakest warriors going to the fight this time was at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm. They were quick. In the time for just half an incense stick to burn, they had pa.s.sed the city gate and vanished into the distance.
"What?"
The city was boiling. It was the first time in a decade that Xu Family sent out so many warriors. Judging by Xu Chen"s actions, n.o.body could survive at the Blood Evil Island.
"This is bad..."
Many people were terrified. Lu Li was valued by the Bai Family. Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang once travelled miles to bid Lu Li goodbye, they went to the Yu Emperor City for him, and it was said that they stayed a few days at the Blood Evil Island.
If Lu Li was killed, would Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue, in a fit of rage, bring powerful warriors of the Bai Family with them and put the G.o.d-down City in a blood bath?
...
In the outdoor pavilion on the Bai Emperor Mountain.
Madam Yan was drinking tea quietly while the twins were standing next to her. The twins looked very unhappy. Bai Qiuxue"s face was cold, and Bai Xiashuang was pouting.
Madam Yan had on a purple cheongsam, revealing her perfect figure. Her figure was better than the twins. The twins were like lilies yet to blossom, but Madam Yan was like a rose in full bloom.
Seeing that Madam Yan remain seated quietly with no intention of talking, Bai Qiuxue made up her mind and said, "Auntie, the Bai Family is the most prominent Family at the Thousand-island Lake. Shouldn"t we be able to tolerate differences and be broad-minded? Lu Li is just hesitating about joining the Bai Family. I even think it is normal for him to refuse. Also, he had saved us both. Now you are fighting against him? If the story got spread across the Northern Desert, what would others think of us?"
Bai Xishuang added, "Auntie, Lu Li is not a bad guy. Forgive him this one time."
Madam Yan still said nothing. When Bai Qiuxue wanted to start again, Madam Yan waved her hand and said, "I have told you that I already ordered that Lu Li was not to be killed. I just want to teach him a lesson. Why are you so worried? Do you like him? If so, then Lu Li should die."
"It"s not this..."
Bai Qiuxue raised her pretty eyebrows and said, "You know how Lu Li is. If you send people to kill every one of the Blood Evil Island, don"t you think he will put up a desperate fight? He will do anything when he goes nuts. Something huge will happen. No… I have to go and find out."
Bai Xishuang was a troublemaker. She immediately said, "I will go with you."
"Stop!"
Madam Yan became unhappy and said, "Are you done? I haven"t disciplined you for what you did the last time. You want to do it again? I will ground you for a year, do you believe me?"
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Right at that moment, a person rushed over. It was Bai Ding who had been serving Madam Yan. After he got here, he immediately said, "Madam Yan, I have urgent news! White Beard was killed by Lu Li and he also killed Xu Sihe and Xu Yaoyang. The scout didn"t see that powerful warrior, and all our people saw only Lu Li and Hunchback Tian working together to kill Xu Yaoyang, Xu Sihe and White Beard."
"Hmm..."
Madam Yan, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were all stunned by the news. Bai Xiashuang soon smiled and said, "Nice, nice. That punk Lu Li is good."
"What the heck is nice?"
Madam Yan couldn"t help but swear. She looked at Bai Ding and said, "How about the G.o.d-down City. Are there any news?"
"Not yet!"
Bai Ding said, cupping his hands in front of his chest. Before he even finished his sentence, Chief Steward Bai rushed in and shouted from afar, "Madam Yan, I got news from the G.o.d-down Island. Xu Chen is on his way to the Blood Evil Island with all their powerful warriors."
"No!"
Madam Yan and Bai Qiuxue"s expressions changed. Madam Yan reacted fast and she shouted, "Bai Ding, send a word to Bai Ge and Bai Rui. Tell them to teleport to G.o.d-down City now and go to the Blood Evil Island to take control of the situation. Don"t let it get any worse. I will go and notify Uncle Xi."
Bai Ge and Bai Rui were at the Heaven Prison City, and they were at the Eternal Realm. They could be teleported to the Blood Evil Island now to contain the situation.
Bai Ding left soon. Madam Yan ran towards Bai Xi"s fortress with Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang following her.
Bai Xi was reading a report in his fortress. Before Madam Yan explained what happened, Bai Xi threw away that report and coldly said, "Yan, I just got the news. There are some powerful warriors of the Heaven Martial Kingdom sneaking into the Thousand-island Lake. I think they are from the Yu Family. Ask Bai Leng to go to the Blood Evil Island right away and bring someone with him to kill all the warriors of the Yu Family. How dare the Yu Family!"
"Swish, swish~"
Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang looked at each other. Their faces turned pale. The Yu Family was trying to fish in troubled water. Could Lu Li survive this?
