Chapter 818: The Four Cities

The Barbarian Race was known for its strong defense and their usage of thunderbolts. The Feather Race was fast as lightning and superb in the art of bows and arrows. The Asmodians were sinister and sly, the most insidious of the four races. They mastered the skills to pierce through the void and cloaking. The Voodoo Race was comparatively weaker in their defense and they had little arrows in their quiver of skills. That being said, the Voodoo Race’s toxins and poisons were horrifying…

To his dismay, Lu Li realized that without a cure to the toxin, there was no winning of the war. Turning to the several Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves behind him, he asked, “Any of you understand the voodoo skills?”

Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three were greatly excited. If those came with Lu Li could solve the conundrum of the voodoo toxins, then the chances of them winning the war could be greatly elevated.

Uncle Nine of the Jun Family was here. He took a look around but the other four soul slaves all shook their heads. Uncle Nine of the Jun Family thought of something and said, “I don’t think anyone of us is skilled in this regard. But speaking of such things, I think the girl from the Leng Family has some knowledge. Since she was a kid, she has always been into this sort of things.”

“Leng Wuxin!”

Lu Li remembered that Leng Wuxin once poisoned him. According to Yin Qingsi, less than three people of the entire Central Imperial Universe could develop antidote of that poison. Therefore, Leng Wuxin must be achieved in the field of toxins and poisons.

“Thank god I kept Leng Wuxin alive. She can be of some use after all!”

Lu Li felt lucky. He did not bring Leng Wuxin with him, though. She was still in the Prison of Wood. Lu Li turned to Great Grandfather Three and said, “Great Grandfather Three, could you please do me a favor? I will give you my token for you to go to the Deserted World to find my sister. Tell her to bring Leng Wuxin out.”

“Okay!”

Great Grandfather Three promised. He took over Lu Li’s token and left the city right away. It might take some time to go and come back. Leng Wuxin must be brought here as soon as possible. If she really could develop an antidote, then it would mean a world of difference for the human race.

As Great Grandfather Three took off, Lu Li looked at the modeling of the three cites of Heaven Blood City, the Earth Blood City, and the Monster Blood City. “Where are Deputy Master and my great grandpa?” He asked.

Jiang Tianshun said embarrassingly, “Lu Li, Master Ji is now the Grand Master. I think you’d better mind how you address him. Grand Master now is in the Monster Blood City and Patriarch of Law Enforcement is commanding in the Heaven Blood City. In the Earth Blood City, it is Patriarch Qian Huanhan of the Hall of Warfare.”

Lu Li took a closer look. The Monster Blood City was in the rear area while the Heaven Blood City and the Earth Blood City were at the frontline. “Then let us go to the Heaven Blood City. We will observe for a while before we can devise a plan,” said Lu Li with a nod.

“Good. Those warriors that came before you should all be in the Heaven Blood City at the moment.” Jiang Tianshun said.

Patriarch of Law Enforcement did have his soul reconstructed. Nevertheless, he was Lu Li’s great grandfather. He might not favor Lu Li but at least he would take a neutral position and would not help Deputy Master in setting Lu Li up.

They went to the plaza with Jiang Tianshun and entered the Teleportation Formation. Five Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves surrounded Lu Li in the formation in case Lu Li was assassinated as soon as they reached the destination.

After a flash of glare, they found themselves in another city, a city that was about the same size as Demon-slaying City. But in this one, the population was much larger. There must be at least a million here!

The permanent population of the Demon-slaying Battleground was over one million on an average day. After Deputy Master issued the order, many warriors from Central Plains, the other Plains and those that had retired from society responded. Over one or two million warriors of the Noble Lord Realm came to assist. More than four-fifths of the human powerful warrior were now gathered in the four cities.

As soon as Lu Li and the others arrived, they found themselves being locked on by psychic powers. Lu Renhuang, Lu Li and his five soul slaves spread out their psychic powers at once to see if there was any hidden danger in the city.

Lu Li and Lu Renhuang were relieved after an initial check. Deputy Master was not in the city and the total number of Earth Immortal Realm warriors in the city was about thirty. The majority of them were from Lu Family, Jiang Family, Great Buddhist Temple and Tumulus of Universe. None of those warriors were from his enemy families.

Deputy Master must have prepared for this when he deployed the armies. After all, if he had let Yang Bucheng, Che the Terror and the rest here, they might have been personally killed by Lu Li.

“Renhuang, Lu Li, Qiling, come to the main hall. The city is now in my control.”

They heard a hoarse voice. Lu Li felt he could finally breathe easily. Now that Patriarch of Law Enforcement had said so, their safety must be guaranteed. Being Lu Li’s great grandfather, even with a rebuilt soul, he would not put Lu Li in harm’s way.

They walked toward the main hall. At the gate, Human Sovereign Realm and Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Lu Family and Ye Family were helped to settle down while Lu Li and the others entered the hall.

The hall was magnificent. A row of 34 Earth Immortal Realm patriarchs was sitting in the hall. Most of the patriarchs were already old, indicated by their grey hair. Some even had a lifeless look as if they were coming to the end of their lives.

Lu Li, Lu Renhuang, Ye Luo and Jiang Qiling stood with respect. Many of those Earth Immortal Realm warriors should be over one thousand years old. They were the rare survivors of veterans. They had lived a long life, devoting many years in the Demon-slaying Battleground to safeguard the human race. They fought dauntlessly for the human race and they suffered the years in loneliness.

Lu Renhuang stepped forward. Taking the lead, he bowed and so did Lu Li and the others. Lu Li adopted a humble attitude. He did not act in an arrogant way even though his force was strong.

“Good~”

Many senior warriors appreciated Lu Li’s attitude. Lu Li was here with five Earth Immortal Realm warriors and three of the five were either at the later stage or the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm. They composed an impressive power.

Lu Renhuang’s achievement in the battle at the Samsara City was already known by the Demon-slaying Hall. He had ninth rank ultimate Mystic Armor which not even the Patriarch of Law Enforcement could accomplish. Lu Renhuang faced five Family Patriarchs on his own. Even so, he managed to kill Xiao Wanjun, the master of Life League. To those patriarchs in the hall, Lu Renhuang was more capable than half of them.

And there was Jiang Qiling. She reached the Earth Immortal Realm at such a young age. Those old guys enjoyed the fact that the future chosen warrior was respectful to them.

Those patriarchs had had their souls rebuilt. Over the course of their long lives, their own families, their past and outside matters had slipped through their minds. To them, there were merely two objectives. The first was to protect the Demon-slaying Battleground and the second was to achieve immortality through cultivation.

Of course…

Many patriarchs had lost their hope as for the second objective. The longer they lived, the more difficult it would be for them to have achievements in their realms. As the body aged, physical functions would deteriorate. But the worse part was the more rigid way of thinking. To make breakthroughs in Profound Meanings for those patriarchs was sometimes harder compared to a young man.

Young people had agile minds to facilitate faster learning.

When young, people’s thinking was not in a set pattern yet. Young people’s minds were inclusive and creative, which was why young talents were always valued in their respective families.

“Lu Renhuang, Lu Li, Jiang Qiling and Ye Luo, I am impressed by all of you. Please, take a seat!”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement said. He showed no emotion and his facial expressions were serious as always. However, everyone from the Demon-slaying Hall knew that Patriarch of Law never praised anybody. It was an unprecedented occurrence that he just spoke highly of Lu Renhuang, Lu Li and the other two.

Lu Li and Jiang Qiling didn’t think too much of it. On the other hand, Lu Renhuang put on a smile. After all, since his younger years, he had admired Patriarch of Law Enforcement, his grandfather. It was the first time for him to hear his grandpa’s compliment.

Ye Luo was smiling from ear to ear. To be able to have Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s praise was an amazing thing. He was also flattered to sit with so many senior Earth Immortal Realm patriarchs.

That being said, Ye Luo understood clearly that he had not won this treatment on his own. It was because of Lu Li. Otherwise, Ye Luo might not even have the right to enter this hall…
