The Cherry Blossom Valley was a charming place. It was a vast valley with wild cherry blossoms all over the hills and dales. Outside the valley was a large bamboo forest. A pond was located in the valley as well. In an area of thousands of miles in radius, this valley had to be the most beautiful place.
It was Ye Family’s scout that first came to know this place, and he reported to Ye Zheng—Ye Luo’s cousin—at once. Back then, neither Ye Luo nor his father was in the city. The servants would naturally use this piece of news to cozy up to Ye Zheng.
Ye Zheng took someone with him and checked the place out. He was quite satisfied. However, the construction of Ye City was underway at that time so Ye Zheng had little time to manage the Cherry Blossom Valley. He sent someone to station there, as a way of saying that he had taken a liking to this place.
Ye Zheng’s father—Ye Luo’s uncle—was at the Earth Immortal Realm and was the most important patriarch of Tumulus of Universe. He was quite a fighter. Ye Zheng’s status in the Ye Family was high. He believed that nobody would come to fight over the Cherry Blossom Valley now that he had stationed his men there.
It just so happened that someone did come to fight for this place. The day before yesterday, Zi Lian and someone else passed by, and she fell for the place at once. She wanted to establish a residence in the Cherry Blossom Valley directly. Those warriors stationed here were loyal to Ye Zheng, and they did not know Zi Lian. They were enraged by her and wanted to drive her away.
Little did they expect that Zi Lian would resort to violence. She killed people and let one live so he could go back and tell Ye Zheng that this valley was hers.
Ye Zheng did not know she and Jiang Wuwo were in a relationship and had never heard about her and Lu Li. Ye Zheng led his men to the Cherry Blossom Valley. The result was Ye Zheng was killed by Zi Lian.
The fight over the Cherry Blossom Valley could have been a trivial matter if Zi Lian had not killed people. They could fight all they wanted, but Ye Luo or his father would try to settle the whole matter down. After all, Zi Lian and Lu Li had a past. They might not be an item, but they would try not to embarrass Zi Lian.
Ye Zheng was at the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm, and one of the most favored young masters in the Ye Family. He was Ye Luo’s uncle’s only son.
Ye Hongtu—Ye Luo’s uncle—took someone with him and went to the Cherry Blossom Valley as soon as the news of his son’s death reached him. Ye Hongtu claimed he wanted to kill Zi Lian to avenge his son. However, Jiang Wuwo came and defeated Ye Hongtu, stating that Zi Lian was his lady. Jiang Wuwo said that anything could be talked out as long as Zi Lian’s life was not threatened. However, if the Ye Family wanted nothing other than Zi Lian’s life, then he had no other choice but to fight!
At that time, Lu Zhengyang was in the Prison of Wood. He was informed right away. He did not come over in person, but he did send a word for the Ye Family to remain calm and that he would handle the matter reasonably.
Lu Zhengyang sent a message to Lu Li. After all, this matter was a troublesome one. Both Ye Family and Jiang Family were in-laws. He could offend neither of them nor did he dare to make the call.
This matter was brought under control. However, today something else happened. Ye Hongyu was told that after she killed people, Zi Lian did not leave. Instead, she had people build cabins in the Cherry Blossom Valley as if… she wanted to live here indefinitely.
Ye Hongyu’s son’s body was still warm and had not been put into a coffin yet. Zi Lian was building cabins at the scene of the murder. She was so arrogant and inconsiderate. Ye Hongtu would be boiling with anger even if he was made of mud.
When he was informed this morning, he took people with him and hurried over immediately. For fear that this could escalate, Ye Luo, who was cultivating, was informed. He rushed over at once.
When Lu Li heard the entire story from the Noble Lord Realm leader of the Ye Family, his rage increased. As far as he could tell, this entire matter should be blamed on Zi Lian. Why had this once gentle lady of the Zi Family changed? Did love beget hate? Had she given up on herself?
The Cherry Blossom Valley was a bit far away. Lu Li was fast though. During the second half of his trip, he grabbed Ye Cha with one hand and flew on.
Lu Li used the Traceless Twist Profound Meaning, and his speed became comparable to a Semi-God Realm. In the time for three incense stick to burn, he had arrived at the Cherry Blossom Valley.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
He could hear noises of the blast from the distance. Lu Li glanced over and saw two Earth Immortal Realm warriors fighting each other.
The two of them might be fuming with anger. Both were using Bloodline Skills. One of them released many swords, and the other one released black butterflies. They were using Profound Meanings to assist their attacks as well. The mountains were blasted away by the impact of the two warriors’ actions.
“Master Jiang and Patriarch Hongtu.”
Ye Cha explained in a low voice. Lu Li had met Ye Hongyu several times. Lu Li checked the surroundings with psychic power and saw warriors from Pavilion of Delicacy and Ye Family in a standoff outside the Cherry Blossom Valley. Both sides sent over many powerful warriors, and there must be over a hundred of them here. Fortunately, those people controlled themselves and did not get violent.
“Zi Lian!”
With psychic power, Lu Li found a yellow-dressed girl inside the Cherry Blossom Valley. At such a moment, she was sitting in a wooden pavilion in the valley while appreciating tea on her own. This pavilion was clearly just built. Two maids were standing next to her, worried as they observed the fight in the air.
“Hmm!”
Lu Li snorted. He put Ye Cha and the Ye Family Noble Lord Realm warrior down. He then flew up and went between Jiang Wuwo and Ye Hongtu.
“Buzzing!”
A cyan castle appeared and enveloped Jiang Wuwo and Ye Hongtu at once. Lu Li unleashed some Feather Wind dragons on them. Jiang Wuwo and Ye Hongtu were both quite capable warriors. That being said, both were at the Earth Immortal Realm. They could not stand the Feather Wind’s soul attack.
Inside the Feather Wind castle, the two of them held their heads and screamed in pain. Then, the castle disappeared, and the two fainted warriors fell from the sky.
“Eh?”
Lu Li was fast. The two families’ warriors were focusing on the battle in the sky. Therefore, when Lu Li dashed over, many did not notice until Jiang Wuwo and Ye Hongtu fell down quite lifelessly.
“Master!”
“Chief Patriarch!”
Warriors of both families cried out in alarm. Someone was about to fly up, hopping mad. But soon, they had a clear look at the young man in the air.
Lu Li!
Those here were shocked. Lu Li came and one move from him had knocked out Jiang Wuwo and Ye Hongtu. Lu Li’s face was clouded. Looking at him, both families were worried if Lu Li was going to fly into a rage and start slaughtering warriors from both families. After all, he was known to be cruel.
Ye Luo produced a forced smile. He waved his hand and had people take Ye Hongtu back. Then, he came to Lu Li and said, “Lu Li, I have come too late. When I arrived, the two of them were already fighting. After all, Ye Hongtu is my uncle. I cannot get physical with him…”
“Whoosh~”
One of Jiang Qiling’s uncles flew towards Lu Li. He glared at Ye Luo and said, “Lu Li, Ye Hongtu started it when he came here. He has pushed us too far. You must help us.”
Jiang Qiling’s uncle’s words made Lu Li angrier. He slapped Jiang Qiling’s uncle’s face. The latter was knocked away. His face became distorted, and he had several of his teeth missing.
“Ugh…”
Many Jiang Family and Ye Family warriors were stunned. Lu Li slapped Jiang Qiling’s uncle’s face in public. He was being merciless.
“Bring your master back!”
Lu Li coldly said, “Qiling has told me before I came that she cares about none in the Jiang Family apart from her grandpa. In other words—do not think I will not kill people here for her sake. Do you think I am blind or thick-headed?”
Lu Li had always been carrying around a killing intent with him, not to mention that he had been studying the Slayer’s move. Therefore, everyone from the Jiang Family became as mute as a fish when Lu Li flared up. One of Jiang Qiling’s cousins wanted to come up and say something, which he no longer had the courage to do so.
