"In your employ?"
Lu Ling"s words were met with quite a sneer, especially from those of the three forces. Many were showing looks of ridicule.
Even though they didn"t know why their leaders had begun to work with the Drifting Cloud Hall, but they knew for a fact that the three forces couldn"t have surrendered to the Drifting Cloud Hall, not to mention a little girl of the n.o.ble Lord Realm.
Even Lu Li thought that Lu Ling was lying, let alone the other warriors and the Ji Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior. He soon snorted and said, "You are such a sweet little girl. Are you not afraid of karma? How can you say something like this? A n.o.ble Lord Realm warrior can command the Drifting Cloud Hall and the three forces? Hmm!"
Lu Ling tore off the veil from her face, showing her beauty that could overthrow states and cities. She smiled lightly and said, "b.a.s.t.a.r.d of the Ji Family, if I lied, I would commit suicide here and I will tell my brother to leave the Clouds Plains and stay out of its affairs. But if I am not, what do you propose to do?"
"Eh…"
Her words caused many people to discuss. Lu Ling was betting with her own life? Was she really the commander of the Drifting Cloud Hall and the three forces? If so, why didn"t they know? How preposterous it was!
The Ji Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior was hesitating. He was afraid to answer for fear that there might be some trap waiting for him. After all, n.o.body would bet with their lives if they were not sure of a win. But on checking up the warriors on the ground, he noted many were confused and sneering. Therefore, he felt she was bluffing.
He thought about it and said, "If you can show me proof that you are the commander of the Drifting Cloud Hall and the three forces, I will not look into the fact that a Ji Family disciple was killed here."
The Ji Family senior warrior was being careful. He didn"t say that he would commit suicide if he lost the bet to Lu Ling. He merely promised to stay out of the affair.
If Lu Ling really was the commander of the Drifting Cloud Hall and the three forces, then Lu Li would be perfectly justifiable in interfering. In that case, by forcing his way into the conflict, the Ji Family warrior would make himself an enemy of Lu Li. Currently, the Samsara Palace didn"t dare to do that openly. That would be a challenge to the Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall. The Ji Family warrior was trying to facilitate his own way out.
"Okay!"
Lu Ling smiled and looked at Master of Drifting Cloud Hall, Tu Ni and Master of Silver Wolf Mountain and others.
The five Human Sovereign Realm warriors that were fighting against the two from the Palace of Sun flew over, stood neck to neck, knelt to Lu Ling and yelled, "Saint Lord!"
"What~"
A chorus of reaction took over the place. Many people were stunned by the fact that five Human Sovereign Realm warriors were on their knees. Lu Li was astonished as well. The Ji Family warrior could not believe what he was seeing.
Five Human Sovereign Realm warriors were kneeling to a young girl of the n.o.ble Lord Realm and calling her Saint Lord? Was this a joke? How old were those Human Sovereign Realm warriors? How old was Lu Ling? This was ridiculous.
Tu Ni looked at warriors of the Drifting Cloud Hall and shouted coldly, "What are you doing standing there? Say greetings to Saint Lord!"
Tu Ni was the Master of Drifting Could Hall and his orders could not be disobeyed. Many patriarchs dropped to their knees at once. The other warriors followed suit and said, "Greetings, Saint Lord!"
Masters of the Silver Wolf Mountain, Palace of Black Moon, and Lotus Society all said the same thing to their warriors. They all knelt and saluted her.
The Earth Immortal Realm warrior of the Ji Family and the two Human Sovereign Realm warrior of the Palace of Sun looked at each other in increasing astonishment. They began to check the other five Human Sovereign Realm warriors with psychic power. Soon, the Earth Immortal Realm warrior yelled, "No wonder you are really good. Even I am tricked by you!"
Lu Ling was calm. She stood in midair, her dress dancing. Her unworldly look made her a muse. She snorted and said, "b.a.s.t.a.r.d of the Ji Family, go away now. After today, the entire Clouds Plains will be my and my brother"s territory. If you hatch another sinister plot against the Clouds Plains, me and my brother will go to the Demon-slaying Hall and ask the Grand Master to make it right for us."
With that said, Lu Ling yelled again, "Tu Ni, what are you waiting for? Qu Yang, you have two choices. Either surrender to me or enjoy the extermination of the Qu Family!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"
Tu Ni and the other four made a move at once with no hesitation. Qu Yang was already injured. He couldn"t flee even if he wanted to. He had to try his best to hold on while sending Ji Family warrior looks for help.
The Ji Family warrior hadn"t left yet. He was hesitating and wrestling inside.
The Palace of Sun had surrendered to the Samsara Palace secretly. Clouds Plains was originally under the control of the Samsara Palace. How could he sit around while Lu Li took it away from him?
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
Seeing he was hesitating, Lu Li yelled again in Dragon Roar. He held the jade talisman in his hand up high and shouted, "On count the count of three, if you don"t leave the Clouds Plains I will crush the jade talisman right away and let the Grand Master know. If you have the guts and ability, kill all of us. If not, go away. One, two…"
The Ji Family warrior was struggling. If Lu Li really notified the Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall, the Samsara Palace would be in big trouble. Losing the small Clouds Plains was nothing for the Samsara Palace. But the loss would be greater if they provoked the Grand Master.
"You punk, you can enjoy it while you have the chance. Grand Master only gave you 10 years. We shall see how you will die after 10 years."
The Ji Family warrior left behind some harsh words and flew away in rage. Soon, he disappeared into the northeast.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
At the same time, Masters of the Silver Wolf Mountain and the Palace of Black Moon and Tu Ni were attacking at Qu Yang together. Qu Yang fell down like a meteor rock. He smashed a castle below him. The shockwave that it caused led to hundreds of deaths.
"Die—"
Master of Silver Wolf Mountain generated shadows. Before they dispersed in midair, he had rushed into the collapsed castle and crushed Qu Yang in one move.
"Surrender, I surrender!"
The other Human Sovereign Realm warrior of the Palace of Sun was covered in blood. He understood that he was powerless now that the Ji Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior had left and his master had died. If he didn"t surrender, not only would he be slayed, so would all the disciples of the Qu Family.
"Saint Lord!"
Tu Ni turned to Lu Ling, waiting for her orders. She waved her hand and said, "Bring him to the front hall. Tu Ni, get someone to clean the field."
Lu Ling, Lu Li and several Human Sovereign Realm warriors brought the one from the Palace of Sun to the front hall. Curtain of the war finally dropped.
But many were still standing in astonishment. Some of them had bleeding wounds but they were not aware. They felt they had been in a dream. Everything was so surreal and ridiculous.
In the front hall, Lu Ling and Lu Li entered first. Three Human Sovereign Realm warriors escorted the one from the Palace of Sun in. Another Human Sovereign Realm warrior was standing in front of Lu Ling in case the one from the Palace of Sun would hurt Lu Ling in one last fatal blow.
Lu Ling began to be covered in a red glare. A red pellet slowly came into shape in her hand. The pellet was bouncing, like a ball of flames.
Throwing the pellet over, she said to the Human Sovereign Realm warrior of the Palace of Sun and said, "Qu Cheng, take it and you can live."
"This is…"
The only surviving the Human Sovereign Realm warrior of the Palace of Sun Qu Cheng took over the pellet. He felt the surging powers contained within. He knew that this would not be a piece of cordiality. He might become Lu Ling"s slave for the rest of his life if he took it.
At that moment, he finally understood why the other five Human Sovereign Realm warriors were regarding Lu Ling as their masters. They must have all taken this pellet and were controlled by Lu Ling.
Lu Li knew better now as well. He had been wondering how come the Human Sovereign Realm warriors from the three forces would listen to Lu Ling"s plan and cooperate with the Drifting Cloud Hall to fight against the Palace of Sun. It was because of this pellet.
