“Good!”
Lu Li smiled after becoming extremely angered. The white-eyebrow old monk checked the Interspatial Ring in the Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior’s hand and nodded to Evil Punisher.
Evil Punisher said, “Alms Giver Bi has 1.5 billion Purple Xuan Crystals. Now that Alms Giver Yan is willing to give him 500 million, then the offer is valid.”
Lu Li showed no expression. Gu Min and patriarch of the Gu Family looked at him, not knowing what to do. Prajna stood behind Lu Li.
Many people looked over. Lu Li was in deep thoughts. After a while, there came a white glow over his body and his face. His bones moved slowly and his facial features changed drastically. His appearance changed back. He also took off his armor, showing the cyan robe he had on underneath.
“Um…”
Since many were already looking at him, his change of appearance caused quite a disturbance. Some gave Lu Li hard stares. Suddenly, one shouted, “That man, isn’t he…”
“Lu Li!”
Someone yelled his name. Many families had information and portrait of Lu Li. After all, he was the one covered by the Grand Master and the only one that could live after offending the four forces.
“Lu Li!”
More yelled. Thousands stood up. Many young masters and young ladies went to Ye Rong’s luncheon the day before were shouting in shock. Gu Fengliu was Lu Li?
“No wonder!”
Many could see better now. No wonder Gu Family young master dared to mess around and to defile Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu. It was not all explained when Gu Fengliu was Lu Li.
What in the world did Lu Li not dare to do? He could kill in the Demon-slaying Hall, shaming the four forces publicly. He was the only one at the Great Land.
Lu Li decided to risk it all. Now that he was recognized and trapped by Ji Mengtian, it would be pointless to hide now.
What was more, by revealing his identity, his safety would be injured. He didn’t have to be timid. No family of the Central Plains dared to anger him now.
“Lu Li?”
The patriarch of the Gu Family only knew it was Lu Li till now. Previously, he was notified by the Family Patriarch that Lu Li’s orders were everything. The patriarch looked quite awful now that he knew who it really was. Could the Gu Family stay any longer at the Central Plains after they were involved with Lu Li?
“You look much better now.” Prajna pulled Lu Li’s sleeve and smiled sweetly at him.
Lu Li patted her shoulder. He looked at Evil Punisher and said, “Master Evil Punisher, I can borrow Xuan Crystals and bid?”
With a Zen gesture, Evil Punisher made a bow and answered politely, “Alms Giver, of course you can as long as you can settle it. We don’t care how you get the Xuan Crystals.”
“Buzzing~”
The shield over Ye Luo’s lotus seat vanished. He smiled bitterly at Lu Li and said, “Lu Li, I only have 200 million Purple Xuan Crystals now. If you want it…you can have it all!”
Nobody else dared to say anything. Lu Li, by showing who he really was, was challenging the four forces. Who dared to make unwanted comment now?
Many also admired Ye Luo for daring to lend Xuan Crystals to Lu Li. It was an act shaming the four forces by helping Lu Li publicly.
“Thank you, Young Master Ye, but no need!”
Lu Li cupped his fists toward Ye Luo and nodded to Ye Yu. Then, Lu Li looked toward the lotus seat Yang Xuan was at and said, “Today, I want to borrow some Xuan Crystals from Young Master Yang Xuan. Is that okay?”
“Um…”
Not many could figure out what was going on. People looked at each other speechlessly. Wasn’t Lu Li and Yang Xuan mortal enemies? How come Lu Li was borrowing Xuan Crystals from Yang Xuan? Was he nuts?
The lotus seat for the Hades Society became center of attention now. But Yang Xuan didn’t give any response, turning a deaf ear. He didn’t even deactivate the shield over the lotus seat.
“Young Master Yang, you are not willing to grant me this favor. I see.” Lu Li said with a light smile, “If so, I will not be mercy to Yang Yu, either.”
“Buzzing~”
As soon as Lu Li finished his words, the shield over Yang Xuan’s lotus seat vanished immediately. Yang Xuan gave Lu Li a sinister look and said, “Lu Li, I only have 300 million Purple Xuan Crystals. If you think it’s not enough…I don’t know what to do.”
“What…”
Many people lost track. Some random words from Lu Li forced Yang Yu to agree to lend Xuan Crystals? But the upper limit was only 300 million?
Ye Luo knew better. Not only him, disciples of the 12 Royal Families had reached the same understanding. War at the Serenity Plains was still ongoing. How could the 12 Royal Families not know what Ji Mengyao and Yang Yu had done at the Serenity Plains?
Lu Li was trying to get Xuan Crystals from Yang Family with Yang Yu’s life. But Yang Xuan was a hard character. He was only willing to provide 300 million Xuan Crystals.
Yang Yu was the grandson of a patriarch of the Yang Family. He was not talented and cowardly. It was normal that he was not welcomed at the Yang Family. Lu Li thought that it was nice he could get 300 million out of Yang Yu.
“Give me the Xuan Crystals now!”
After some thoughts, Lu Li signaled to Yang Xuan. The later waved and a Human Sovereign Realm warrior behind him took out an Interspatial Ring and threw it over.
Lu Li grabbed the ring and looked in it. Then with a glare from his hand, a small tripod ding appeared. He said to Little White, “Let’s invite Young Master Yang to come out!”
“Buzzing~”
The Ding of Barbarian God flew up to the sky. The lid was opened and a man fell out of it and rolled on the ground in front of Lu Li.
Yang Yu had fainted from starvation. His robe was burnt, his hair disheveled and he looked like a ghost. He was still in a coma.
“Whoosh~”
The Human Sovereign Realm warrior behind Yang Xuan dashed over, grabbed Yang Yu and rushed down the mountain before anyone could have a good look.
Yang Xuan said nothing more. He activated the shield of the lotus seat and stayed inside.
Nobody dared to make a sound. It was utterly tense.
Even though they were confused on many fronts, they did know that Lu Li would probably not return the 300 million Xuan Crystals he borrowed from Yang Xuan…
“Whoosh~”
The Ding of Barbarian God shrank quickly. Lu Li took it and put it away into the Interspatial Ring. Then he murmured to himself, “I now have 1.6 billion Purple Xuan Crystals and Young Master Yang gave me 300 million so I have 1.9 million now. It’s not enough. I must borrow some more.”
Lu Li looked across all the lotus seats and then stopped at Ji Mengtian’s. He smiled and said, “Lady Mengtian, we ran into some pretty risky moments together at the small battlefield. I don’t know…how many Xuan Crystals are you willing to lend to me?”
The shield was off on Ji Mengtian’s lotus seat. She was stunning. But Die Feiyu hid behind her, not daring to make eye-contact with Lu Li.
Ji Mengtian became the center of attention but she seemed to be meditating. After the time for more than a dozen breaths, she finally said, “Young Master Lu, you see, I have used one billion to buy Fairy Mushrooms. I don’t have too many now. I can only give you 110 million. If you want them, I can give you them all.”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha!”
Lu Li laughed. Ji Mengtian had given a clever answer. With the 110 million, Lu Li would have two billion and 10 million, just enough for him to make a new offer.
The Bi Family Human Sovereign Realm warrior had made an offer of two billion and some of it were borrowed from the Yan Family. If Lu Li made another offer, then it would be certain that he would get the Bodhi Fruit. After all, Lu Li was like a mad dog and nobody dared to challenge him.
However…
Now that everything was out on the open, Lu Li would not let her off the hook so easily.
He sneered and said, “Young Lady Ji, you are so cheap. I think I can ask your sister and she will be giving me 1.5 billion, easily. If you don’t give me that amount, then, I will have to…go and ask Lady Mengyao herself.”
His real intention was revealed. Lu Li demanded an exorbitant price!
