Lu Li had been in the underground room for 10 days. While he was in there, a major event happened in the outside world. The Demon-slaying Hall issued a call for assistance. It was stated that the four forces were bearing down on the borders. Demon-slaying Hall was having a hard time trying to fight back. With that in mind, Demon-slaying Hall was calling upon families of the Great Land to send powerful warriors to assist the Demon-slaying Hall to resist the enemies.
This was the first of such call to be issued by the Demon-slaying Hall in over one hundred thousand years. Last call was published one hundred and fifty thousand years ago. Back in, powerful warriors all over the Great Land moved out and successfully beat back the four races.
The death of Xing Mu led to disturbance in the Demon-slaying Hall. The destruction of the Samsara Palace brought the entire Great Land to chaos. The call for assistance caused a panic among the human race.
Of course…
Most of the families and powerful warriors responded to the call. Five forces including the Palace of Immortals Inquiries, the Red Lunar, Great Buddhist Temple, Tumulus of Universe and Palace of Heaven’s Roars issued an announcement at once. Half of their powerful warriors were sent to support the Demon-slaying Hall.
Hades Society, Yaksha Race, Life League and the Pavilion of Blossoms reacted the same time. Powerful warriors and more than half of their regular warriors were sent into the Demon-slaying Battleground.
In addition to those Royal Families, countless sixth rank and seventh rank families answered the call. Many warriors that had lived secluded lives came back into the society and went to the Demon-slaying Hall. In peacetime, humans could have severe internal struggle. But at such critical junctures, humans would rally together.
Everyone knew it perfect well that nobody could survive in a total disaster. The hatred and feud between the Asmodians, Feather Race, Barbarian Race, the Voodoo Race and the human kind could never be resolved. Once the Demon-slaying City was breached, the Great Land would be occupied by the four races. In that case, many people would be ripped apart, abused or enslaved.
When Lu Li and the others came out from the underground room, they were notified of the event. Lu Ling and Lu Li smiled a knowing smile at once.
When Great Grandfather Three came, he didn’t mention that the Demon-slaying City was faced with such a desperate situation. The intention of Deputy Master in issuing this call was more than clear.
By exaggerating the crisis in the Demon-slaying City, he attempted to shift everyone’s focus to the alien races.
In this way, people would be distracted from the death of the Samsara Palace and the conflict between Deputy Master and Lu Li. Nobody would overthink that Deputy Master could not defeat Lu Li. Deputy Master’s honor would be preserved. At the same time, through the war against the four races, Deputy Master could expand his influence and preserve his authority.
Besides!
By allowing powerful warriors and armies of the Life League, Pavilion of Blossoms, Yaksha Race and the Hades Society to enter the Demon-slaying Battleground, their forces were protected in an indirect way.
Because per Lu Li and Lu Ling’s plan, after they had taken care of the Lu Family affairs, they would definitely go after the four forces. After all, over a hundred million of the Clouds Plains, Serenity Plains and the Northern Desert had lost their lives. Lu Li must avenge them.
But…
Powerful warriors and armies of the four forces had been sent into the Demon-slaying Hall. Lu Li could not go to the four forces and just slaughter some low level warriors and civilians, could he?
In that way, not only would Lu Li be faced with accusation from the entire human race, he would also have to make himself an enemy of the entire human race. It would be a pointless move. Killing regular warriors and civilians could not help him wipe out the four forces nor avenge for the deceased.
“Two birds with one stone!”
Lu Li sighed. Deputy Master had played an ingenious hand. Lu Li could not barge into the Demon-slaying City and announce war. Even if he wanted to, Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Jiang Tianshun and powerful warriors of the Great Buddhist Temple and Tumulus of Universe would not agree. Lu Renhuang and Lu Zhengyang would stop him as well. By doing so, he would really become an enemy of the entire world.
“Forget about it…”
Lu Ling said, shaking her head, “Brother, we need to put the matter aside for now. Revenge is a dish best served cold. We need to go past the four races crisis. Let us go back to the Deserted World to develop. In the future, when we are capable enough, we will unite the Great Land and kill Deputy Master.”
If the Deputy Master could not be finished, then it was impossible to unite the Great Land.
At the moment, Lu Li did not have the ability to deal with a Semi-God Realm warrior. He had no other choice but to drop the matter for now. At any rate, nobody would have the courage to provoke Lu Li, considering the power he owned now. The Inferno boasted a large amount of Mystical Materials. They could support warriors to grow. Since the speed of learning Profound Meanings in the Inferno was accelerated in the Inferno, powerful warriors could evolve at an alarming rate.
Lu Renhuang now was at the later stage of the Earth Immortal Realm and he was barely over forty. It should not be a problem for him to reach the Semi-God Realm. Once he made that achievement, it would be utterly easy for him to deal with the Deputy Master. At that time, the entire Great Land would have to act as the father and son pair dictated. At a hand’s turn, they would be able to kill Deputy Master and the four forces.
Lu Zhengyang had regained consciousness but he still needed sometime to achieve full recovery. Lu Li and Lu Ling had decided to stay in the City of Mystic Armor for half a month before returning to the Deserted World.
As for… establish permanent residence at the City of Mystic Armor?
It was neither Lu Li nor Lu Ling’s plan. To them, Northern Desert, Clouds Plains, Serenity Plains, the Deserted World and the Inferno were their territory, their home. It was true that their grandfather and father were the ones controlling the City of Mystic Armor, Lu Li and Lu Ling still didn’t feel the sense of belonging, especially Lu Li who had no emotional attachment to the city.
Of course, the fact that the Inferno was a land of treasures was deeply appealing to Lu Li and Lu Ling. Furthermore, the Prison of Wood, the Prison of Earth and the Prison of Water had more Mystical Materials. Lu Li couldn’t wait to go and send someone to harvest the Mystical Materials.
Lu Renhuang was still taking care of Lu Zhengyang. Lu Li and Lu Ling made some general plans. Finally, Lu Ling found the time to ask Lu Li about how he spent the past few years.
Lu Li told her everything with no reservation. To Lu Ling, he had no secret.
Lu Ling sighed with strong emotions. She didn’t know that the Inferno was the lowest level of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. She was surprised to hear that there were nine levels above the Inferno and after one successfully survived the Prison of Thunder, he would be able to become an immortal and ascend to heaven directly.
What came was a bigger shock to him was that there were other universes outside of the Heaven Reverse Universe. According to Lu Li—around the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, there were other universes, large or small. Of the nine universes, there were quite a number of powerful warriors. Earth Immortal Realm warriors could be found everywhere.
“A Relic!”
Lu Ling was delighted. But then, she was overwhelmed by worry. “Brother, will the powerful warriors of the nine universes give up on the Relic? What if they use some supernatural power to break down the barriers of universes and come to Heaven Reverse Universe…” Lu Ling asked after some thoughts.
From ancient records, Lu Ling had learned that in the distant ancient times, some powerful warriors from other universes once came to the Heaven Reverse Universe. She read that Emperor of Heaven Reverse was actually from the Central Imperial Universe. So, warriors of other universes could come to the Heaven Reverse Universe.
Once that happened, and those warriors of the nine universes threatened Lu Li with all the civilians’ lives and Lu Li’s friends and relatives, forcing him to give up on the Wicked Bead, should he do it or not?
“Crap!”
Lu Li was taken aback by the idea. What Lu Ling said might happen. “Should… we relocate all Lu Family and Jiang Family disciples to the Inferno?” Lu Li asked.
Earth Immortal Realm warriors and Semi-God Realm warriors from levels above the Inferno could come down. Safety was guaranteed in the Inferno. What was more, since learning Profound Meanings could be fast in the Inferno, Lu Family and Jiang Family could both develop rapidly.
“I am not the one you should talk to…”
Lu Ling smiled bitterly and shook her head. “I think you should talk to father and grandfather. But I don’t suppose they will agree, neither will the Jiang Family. Lu Family has been in the Region of Mystic Armor for so many years. It is unlikely that the Lu Family will give it up just like that.”
“Then I will talk to grandfather after he recovers.”
Lu Li shook his head. When Lu Zhengyang regained his health, he would naturally be in charge of the Lu Family. Anything related to the Lu Family must be approved by him.
“Mage Imperial Universe, Earth Imperial Universe and the Divine Imperial Universe…”
Lu Li murmured. His face was overcast with sadness. He needed more time. His realm was still too low.
If he could reach the Earth Immortal Realm or the Semi-God Realm, he could dissolve all the seals of the Wicked Bead. By then, he would have courage to face powerful warriors from the nine universes even if they came to the Heaven Reverse Universe…
