Lu Li’s anger had always been intimidating since the old days. When he became the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall—the human leader—he was regarded to be more awe-inspiring. When he flew into a rage, people felt a mountain was bearing down on them. They felt his rage choking them.
Lu Tianren thought about defending himself but did not dare to talk after hearing Lu Li’s words. After all, he was not close to Lu Li even though he was in the same generation as Lu Li’s grandpa. Lu Li had already executed Lu Zhengtian. Naturally, the bond between Lu Tianren and Lu Li would not seem that significant.
Lu Li continued to talk with a cold voice again, “Last chance! All of you that have abused and killed the Asmodians, to the left. All that have raped Asmodian females, to the right. Those that have done both, step to the front!”
Nobody hesitated this time. Four of Lu Family’s disciples stepped to the front. They dropped to their knees, lowered their heads and apologized, “Young Master, we are sorry. We have sinned. Please punish us as you see fit!”
Lu Li cast a glance to the four but said nothing. He turned to the other people. Some of the Jiang Family members looked at Jiang Qiling, hoping she could reason Lu Li out of this. But she pretended she did not see them. Those disciples had no other choice but to step to their respective sides. All of them kept silent as they dropped to their knees.
More and more people walked either to the left or the right, but the majority was at the front…
In the end!
Only a dozen of the hundred stayed where they were. The rest were on the three sides. In the front stood at least sixty.
Lu Li pulled a long face. So many leaders had committed crimes. When the leaders behave wrongly then the subordinates would do the same. How could they expect their warriors to abide by the law and regulations?
Lu Li turned to Lu Tianren, Jiang Hongyu and the Earth Immortal Realm from the Demon-slaying Hall. “How about the three of you? Come on out.” He said coldly.
“We…”
Lu Tianren and Jiang Hongyu looked awful. Only the Demon-slaying Hall’s patriarch stayed calm. He must have had a good conscience.
“You only have one chance. Do not regard my words as nonsense. Nobody can stop me if I want to execute you!”
Lu Li said, brimming with wrath. He took out the “Cold Blade” saber. People felt that the temperature was dropping.
Once again, Jiang Hongyu turned to Jiang Qiling, begging her to help. After all, he was her father’s cousin. How should he face the family if he was punished? His prestige would be affected in the Jiang Family once the people heard about what was going to happen to him.
“Don’t look at me. I cannot help!”
Jiang Qiling finally talked but in a cold manner, “I will not beg even if it were my father here, not to mention you. This is Lu Li’s decision.”
Jiang Hongyu’s face paled. He had no other choice but to walk toward Lu Li. Then, he knelt in front of him with shame on his face.
“Alas..”
Lu Tianren sighed. He stepped to the left, dropped to one knee, waiting for Lu Li’s punishment.
“Patriarch Sun!”
Lu Li shouted his order, “Those in the front, cut off their legs and arms. Let the Demon-slaying Hall take them back and inform their families… those people can never take positions in their families again!”
Swish, swish, swish~
Jiang Hongyu and those who were kneeling in front of Lu Li shook in terror.
Cutting off their legs and arms? How painful, but that was the pain to their body. Lu Li wanted their families to know that their future would not be so bright anymore.
Never assume any positions!
Their families would not disobey Lu Li. Therefore, those warriors could never take up any positions in their families. They would enjoy no power or resources, and they would never be able to leverage the strength of their families…
“Young Master Li, please forgive us. Please spare us!”
Jiang Hongyu shouted and kept kowtowing. The others followed suit and begged for mercy.
Lu Li did not look at them. He took Jiang Qiling, Bai Xiashuang, and Bai Qiuxue into the Wicked Bead and then threw Patriarch Sun a glance. The latter sighed. He took out a saber and started with Jiang Hongyu.
“What?”
Jiang Hongyu tried to dodge, but he was only at the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm whereas Patriarch Sun was at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm. He only saw a flash, and the next thing he knew his limbs were already broken.
“Whoosh, whoosh~”
The other four patriarchs came over. They surrounded the group, then one of them shouted, “Don’t move! Or I will kill you!”
The others who tried to run away or hide stopped moving around. They watched as Patriarch Sun came at them one by one. Not long afterward, the ground was already covered in broken limbs. Blood spurted. Dozens of people rolled around and howled. The other warriors on the plaza were appalled.
“Those on the right cut their legs. Send them back to their families and never to hire them again!”
“The ones on the left, break their arms. Send it back to their families as well, and let their families settle their matters as their families see fit.”
Lu Li gave two more orders. Patriarch Sun took actions again. After several glares, more hands and legs were broken. Over a hundred people screamed in pain. It was so miserable that one cannot bear seeing it.
Lu Li kept a straight face. It seemed like he was absolutely cold-blooded. He threw a glance to many warriors in the distance and said with no emotion, “Remember this, only scumbags will murder civilians and rape girls. These actions will cloud your mind, and affect your cultivation as warriors. If warriors only knew how to bully the weak and to enjoy, then those warriors will never achieve anything in this life. How can you succeed without a determined mind, a mind that can resist temptation and a mind that can honor integrity?”
With that said, Lu Li turned to the patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall and said, “Take care of the rest. Send my words, if something like this happens again, I—Lu Li—will not be soft-hearted again.”
“Yes, Grand Master!”
The patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall bowed. Lu Li left with Patriarch Sun and stepped into the Teleportation Formation. He then set off to the north.
“I need someone here!”
The patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall shouted, “Treat their injuries then send them to the Demon-slaying Hall. Let Patriarch Jiang Tianshun deal with them. Tell him Grand Master’s instructions. Also… keep Patriarch of Law Enforcement informed at once.”
“Patriarch of Law Enforcement?”
Lu Tianren and Jiang Hongyu sunk into despair. Once Patriarch of Law Enforcement was informed, the two of them would be doomed. They might be thrown into prison, they would also never have the chance to hold up their heads again.
“Buzzing~”
After over a hundred rounds of teleportation, they arrived at the small world. Lu Li let Jiang Qiling and the twins out. He did not go into the small world right away. Instead, he planned to take a rest and, then enter the small world when he had restored his spirit and energy.
“Darling!”
Bai Qiuxue did not see what happened, but she figured out what had happened. When Lu Li was angry, he would be unwilling to let go. She made up her mind and asked, “Is what you did… too strict? Will it affect your reputation? After all, the Asmodians are alien races.”
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!”
Lu Li answered with a straight face, “When we were young, we are all kind and we hate injustice like it was poison. We loathe bad people. However, as time pass, we’ve been influenced by society. Sometimes, we become what we loathed when we were a kid.”
“I am not pitying the Asmodians. I am being this strict to send the humans a warning—in the ancient times, the ancient races abused us. We called them demons and fiends. Now, we have become such things. At this rate, the human race might become the next Asmodians. Maybe in several hundreds of years or thousands of years, we would be wiped out—exterminated!”
