Chapter 535: Kill Them All
Chapter 535: Kill Them All
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Every time, the small battlefield would be available for one year and a half, after which everyone would be teleported out with no exception. But usually, after half a year, the teleportation portal would be activated and fights at the small battlefield would come to an end.
Half a year was enough to tell which side was the winner. Either the four races overwhelmed the humans or the other way around. Once the result was clear, it was pointless to go on. The losing side would began to retreat.
This time, there were quite a number of powerful warriors on the human side. As far as numbers of warriors were concerned, human side was not weaker than the four alien races. What was more, Lu Li defeated the allied forces of the four alien races at the Tower of Delicacy fight. It was certain that humans had won this round of fights at the small battlefield.
Toward the end, no barbarian came out to fight. Most of the other three alien races were hiding in the base camp as well. Clearly, they were waiting for the teleportation portal to open to leave.
To waste more time in the battlefield was pointless. The four alien races could not get more points or win more fights.
Lu Li understood this. After resting for two days, he led the army back to their base camp, ready to leave.
Last time, when they came to the Asmodians’ base camp, it took them more than 10 days. Given that everyone was in a good mood, they had sped up on their way back. It took them only 10 days to arrive at the base camp.
The base camp seemed to be empty when seen from the distance. In a fortress ruins in the middle, a huge teleportation portal was glistening.
“I am too late!”
Lu Li, Jiang Qiling, Ye Luo and Lu Hongyu looked at each other bitterly. If they were to leave the moment the portal was activated, they would have gained upper hand.
Now that the teleportation portal was activated in advance, warriors of the four opposing forces have left early. News of what had happened here would be learned by powerful warriors of the four forces as well. Maybe those from the four forces were waiting for Lu Li at the Demon-slaying Hall right now.
At this moment, Lu Li decided to take his time. He said after some deliberation, “Let them wait outside. We will have some rest here.”
The teleportation portal would be open for a year. Lu Li was in no rush. He might just as well let the four forces wait for him for a while.
Ye Luo dismissed the army, telling them they could leave or stay as they wished.
After some thoughts, he said, “Lu Li, how about I go with Lu Lin and Lu Hongyu first to find patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall and tell them about the situation. In this case, you will not be forced into a corner when you got out.”
“Okay, thank you, Brother Ye!”
Lu Li nodded. Jiang Qiling waved to Jing Hu who was behind her and said, “Jiang Hu, you go with Young Master Ye. When you are there, go to my grandpa right away and tell him everything. I will go with Lu Li later.”
“Yes, my lady!”
Jiang Hu cupped his fists. Lu Hongyu forced a smile and said, “Lu Li, don’t worry. I will go to great-grandpa and tell him everything. I think…he will side with you.”
Lu Li nodded. Ye Luo and the others walked toward the teleportation portal and vanished in a blur.
Hundreds of warriors were moving toward the teleportation portal. To stay here longer was pointless. They were all eager to leave after they have acquired so many points.
Lu Li brought Jiang Qiling back to the base. Looking at the empty space, Lu Li smiled gently and said, “It’s nice that they all left. We can have some alone time, as a couple. Such a nice life.”
Jiang Qiling glared at him and retorted, “How can you think something like this at this time?”
“Worrying will not help!”
Lu Li asked Little White to take out the Ding of Barbarian God. He inspected it a bit and ordered Little White, “Discharge more electric arcs and torture them!”
“Ah? You want to go on?”
Jiang Qiling was surprised. They were about to leave now and Lu Li still wanted to torture Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan and the other three. When their families’ powerful warriors saw them, wouldn’t they go mad?
“You don’t understand.”
Taking Jiang Qiling’s hand, he said, “I want them to be miserable and on the verge of dying. Only by this will their families have fear. I want them to know that if they dare to lay a hand on me, I will take Ji Mengtian and the others with me when I die.”
Jiang Qiling said with determination, “If you die, I would go with you.”
Jiang Qiling’s simple words added pressure to Lu Li. He looked into her tender eyes and sighed. He patted her shoulder while sat down with his legs crossed, thinking about what kind of situation he would be up against when he left and how to deal with them accordingly.
There were more warriors coming back to the base camp and then teleported out directly. Lu Li took his time. He stayed here to cultivate Xuan Energy and study Profound Meaning.
After three or four days, Lu Li still showed no signs of leaving. Jiang Qiling asked, “Lu Li, when are we going to go? We must face it. This…is not something we can escape from.”
“Ha, ha!”
Lu Li said casually with a smile, “The four families must be torn with anxiety. We must keep calm, especially in times like this. Have some rest to recover. We will wait for the Demon-slaying Hall to send in some warriors. They will in 10 days at most.”
Looking at how composed Lu Li was, Jiang Qiling felt reassured somehow. She had always trusted him. She drove all the thoughts from her mind and sat down to cultivate and tend to her wounds.
…
While Lu Li and Jiang Qiling sat comfortably in the small battlefield, the Demon-slaying City was upside down.
Ji Mengtian was the pearl of the Samsara Palace. Yang Xuan was the future Family Patriarch for the Hades Society, Lu Ni and Lu Suan were valued by Lu Zhengtan and even though Die Feiyu was not a future Family Patriarch, she was the most treasured young lady at the Pavilion of Blossoms.
This time, all the families sent some patriarchs over to escort their young masters and young ladies. The four forces all enjoyed quite some power at the Demon-slaying Hall. There were many patriarchs at the Demon-slaying Hall and the 10 most powerful ones had their souls rebuilt. But the other patriarchs with lower ranks didn’t, such as Jiang Tianshun.
Once one joined the Demon-slaying Hall, one would die here and devote his life to it.
This was the most important iron clad rule of the Demon-slaying Hall. Warriors that had joined the Demon-slaying Hall should not meddle with the disputes at the Central Plains. That being said, they were still worried about their families. If those patriarchs really didn’t care, they would have rebuilt their souls already.
Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan, Lu Suan and Die Feiyu were the most outstanding talents in their respective families among the young generation. They were the hope for their families’ future. But now they were all taken by Lu Li and enduring a suffering that nobody could describe…
If it were not for the fact that their jade talismans of life were intact, a proof that they were alive, the Demon-slaying City would have been thrown into chaos.
It was forbidden to have dog-eat-dog business at the small battlefield. How dare Lu Li make a move against his own kind?
He made a move against the most reputable young masters and young ladies no less. This was a slap on the four forces’ faces. There was a young lady from the Samsara Palace, the most powerful force at the Central Plains, still trapped in there.
The Demon-slaying City was in quite a stir recently. There were many warriors from the four forces gathered in the hall where the entrance to the small battlefield was. They were waiting here to make trouble for Lu Li.
After Ye Luo and Lu Hongyu came out, they went to someone secretly. But hearing their reports of the entire incident, the big shots didn’t give any response other than saying they should wait for Lu Li to come out first.
Jiang Hu went to Jiang Tianshun as well. Jiang Tianshun didn’t say anything except for telling Jiang Hu to leave for now after hearing him out.
No patriarch at the Demon-slaying Hall showed any signs of actions. It all looked dead calm. But everyone in the city knew that this was just the purple cloud before a storm.
How resourceful were the four forces?
How many patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall came from the four forces? How intricate were the connections in there? Not even a disciple of a royal family, let alone Lu Li, would be able to face the wrath from the four forces.
Three days past, and then five, eight!
Many were waiting for a show. But it had been eight days and Lu Li had yet to come out. It appeared that he was planning on living there for a year and then be teleported out by force…
Eventually, a patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall that originally came from the Ji Family became restless. He sent two young disciples to the small battlefield to rely his order, having Lu Li teleport to the Demon-slaying City at once.
After an hour, the two young disciples came back with Lu Li’s message—Lu Li requested that the Master of Demon-slaying Hall should handle this matter in person or else not only would he not leave, he would kill Jiang Mengtian, Yang Xuan, Lu Suan, Lu Ni and Die Feiyu!
