Lu Li’s arrival was somewhat timely but he was late for half an hour. Otherwise, those Human Sovereign Realm warriors would still be alive and so would the Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the Pavilion of Delicacy.
The silver lining was that Lu Renhuang had come and Jiang Qiling and Prajna offered assistance. Otherwise, Lu Ling, Bai Qiuxue and the others would have gone to the dwelling place of the dead.
Lu Li looked around. He was relieved to see those mattered to him were still breathing. Noticing Jiang Qiling, Prajna and Great Grandfather Five, he felt a surge of warmth through his heart. They had come without hesitation even if the situation was difficult and potentially fatal. A friend in need was a friend indeed.
“Who is that?”
He raised his head and felt surprised when he used psychic power to scan over Lu Renhuang. The latter was covered in a golden armor so Lu Li could not see his face. Even so, Lu Li could sense the man’s god-like might and his domineering spirit.
Lu Li was not familiar with Lu Family’s Mystic Armor and thought that this armor was a Quasi Relic. He wondered if the man was the mysterious warrior he had heard about.
“Wait a minute—”
When Lu Li was about to take back his psychic power, Lu Renhuang removed his helmet, revealing his handsome and rugged face. His eyes were brimming with tears, which spoke of guilt and remorse.
“Father!”
Lu Li trembled, filled with mixed feelings. Just as Lu Ling, he experienced both resent and delight. The fact that Lu Renhuang showed up in such a moment dispersed some of the resentment for Lu Li.
“Okay!”
Feeling more composed now that Lu Renhuang had finally presented himself, Lu Li looked away from Lu Renhuang and turned to Deputy Master.
Deputy Master seemed to be frustrated. After Xing Mu died in battle, Deputy Master had become the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall. This was the first time since then for him to return to the Central Plains. He thought he would be loaded with honors.
Little did he expect that just as he said something to strike awe in others, Lu Li came. On top of that, Lu Li had declared to end his life.
In the old days, he would have slapped Lu Li right away. However, at this moment, he said nothing because… the Wicked Bead was so fast that it spooked him. It was shocking that bead was even faster than he was.
While the Deputy Master remained silent, Patriarch Yang next to him could not keep calm. Back in the days, in the Demon-Slaying City, his arms were broken by Lu Li and Little White. It was an incident that shamed him for years.
Patriarch Yang wasn’t afraid even if Lu Li had acquired something that seemed to be out of the ordinary. For Patriarch Yang, he believed he was supported by Deputy Master who was here on behalf of not himself but the entire Demon-Slaying Hall!
With this conviction, Patriarch Yang yelled, “Lu Li, Deputy Master has been promoted to the Grand Master. He is now the leader of the human beings. Half a year ago, Deputy Master had reached the level of a chosen warrior. He is without a doubt the supreme warrior of human beings. How dare you spoke rudely to him? This is outrageous. Come on out and kneel to him to beg for mercy.”
“What~”
A huge reaction rose. Lu Ling, Jiang Qiling, Jiang Wuwo and Great Grandfather Five were all taken by surprise. Ji Ao’xian, on the other hand, felt excited. The warriors of the Samsara Palace were overjoyed.
He had reached the level of chosen warrior!
That was a realm higher than the Earth Immortal Realm. Xing Mu was talented and for thousands of years, he was second to none. That being said, he could not make the final step and reach a higher realm. Not only had the Deputy Master had made this achievement, he had also been promoted to Grand Master. It was not only a blessing for the Samsara Palace, but the entire human society.
Lu Renhuang felt threatened. He had felt so the moment Deputy Master came. Even though Deputy Master had contained his energy on purpose, but the realm difference was clear. Lu Renhuang was able to sense that immediately.
“What is so great about that?”
Lu Li sounded full of contempt. Deputy Master was just at the Semi-God Realm. In the Central Imperial Universe and the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, he had met quite a number of such warriors and many of them had died because of him. As soon as Deputy Master came out, Lu Li could already tell but he didn’t mind.
“What…”
Lu Ling, Jiang Qiling and Jiang Wuwo were astonished at Lu Li’s remark. Chosen warriors weren’t great? They were the best of human warriors and it had been so throughout the history. The emergence of every chosen warrior was a blessing on the human kind. With such a warrior, human beings could enjoy prosperity and peace for tens of thousands of years.
“Buzzing~”
The Wicked Bead suddenly began to cast beams as one Earth Immortal Realm warrior after another came out. All were equipped with Quasi Relic armors.
Of course…
Many Quasi Relic armors were given to them for the time being. In the Forbidden Ground of Elder God, Lu Li had obtained many Quasi Relic armors. It was a piece of cake for him to equip 13 warriors.
After the 13 Earth Immortal Realm warriors came out, they spread out and shielded Lu Ling, Bai Qiuxue, Jiang Qiling and Bai Xiashuang, Lu Feixue and the others who were still tied to the columns.
“Deputy Master, don’ think that as a chosen warrior you are really something. Over the past few years, at least 10 such warriors have perished because of me! You have just become a chosen warrior. To me, you are nothing! I will give you one more chance—you wipe out the six races yourself and I will spare your life!” Lu Li said coldly.
Silence, dead silence!
The moment the 13 Earth Immortal Realm warriors showed up, many people began to tremble in fright. They stared, with disbelief, at the 13 people standing proudly in midair.
All of a sudden, there came 13 Earth Immortal Realm warriors. What was more, seven to eight of them seemed to be as powerful as Ji Ao’xian and Yang Bucheng. In addition, the 13 all had Quasi Relics on them. Those Quasi Relic armors were giving out such a shining glaze that people could not lay their eyes upon the armors.
Lu Li’s words were startling as well!
More than 10 chosen warriors had died because of him. The others might never believe him if it were not for the fact that he had sent out the 13 Earth Immortal Realm warriors. But at the moment, people found it hard to question Lu Li. The fact that he could dispatch 13 Earth Immortal Realm warriors spoke to his achievements.
“Hiss, hiss~”
At the city west, Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan and the others were still fighting against Walking Puppets. In their eyes wrote terror.
They had thought that Lu Li must be cultivating to improve his realm, which was the reason for him not showing up before. They believed that the best Lu Li could do within five years, no matter how gifted he was, would be reaching the Human Sovereign Realm. Nobody could foresee that he could send out 13 Earth Immortal Realm warriors at once.
Deputy Master glared at Lu Li. The former realized the situation had turned quite grave. He found nobody of the 13 Earth Immortal Realm warriors familiar. They must not be from the Heaven Reverse Universe. Therefore, they could only be from other universes. Were there any small worlds that could be so resourceful existing outside the Heaven Reverse Universe?
“No less than 10 chosen warriors have died because of him? Can there really be a world this powerful outside the Heaven Reverse Universe?”
Deputy Master remembered a history record he read at the Demon-slaying Hall. On the record, it wrote once there were powerful warriors from other worlds bearing down on the Heaven Reverse Universe. The thought graved Deputy Master. If some big family from another universe was behind Lu Li, then he, the newly established chosen warrior, was really… nothing.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
High above, Lu Renhuang laughed in pride. Any father would be proud to have a son of such brilliance.
Neither side was making a move. Constant cries of misery could still be heard at all sides of the city as the Walking Puppets were still wreaking havoc. Deputy Master waved his hand. “Patriarch Yang, Patriarch Li, go head and stop those Walking Puppets.”
The more time they wasted, the more would die. No matter how this fight would end, the Walking Puppets must be dealt with first.
To fright or to settle? Deputy Master could not make up his mind!
What if Lu Li had some chosen warrior hidden in his Wicked Bead? If the fight was to go on, then too many would perish. But the newly appointed Grand Master would be shamed if he had sought peace. In the future, how could he ever lead and command?
More importantly, how could he ever bear this insult?
