On the first row to the left were some empty seats reserved for the group. Patriarch of Law Enforcement had arranged a very decent place for them. As they were seated, Patriarch of Law Enforcement said, “Lu Li, the warriors sent by you are settled down in a mansion in the city. They have not gone out to the battlefield. You must have learned about the reason.”
“Yes!”
Lu Li nodded. “Have you thought about capturing a Voodoo Race warrior and torture the antidote out of him?” Confused, Lu Li asked.“We did~”
An elder warrior in the first seat on the right answered, “We took the risk and captured three Voodoo Race powerful warriors and one of them was at the Earth Immortal Realm. We used our skill to search their souls as soon as we took them down. However, the Voodoo Poison was passed down from ancient times and currently, only their master knows the prescription of the antidote. Their master has been staying in the base camp, not a step away. That is why we have not found a way.”
Lu Li was concentrating. He checked the city with psychic power and saw no army attacking. “I was told armies were attacking at our cities day and night, right? How come they are not here today,” he asked.
Another Patriarch stood up and answered, “Yesterday, Grand Master and Patriarch Qian Huan led powerful warriors in person to fight back. They slaughtered some four alien warrior races and they had conceded for a moment. I believe they will return to attack at night.”
“Then let us wait and see.”
Asking too many questions was not particularly useful. It would be more beneficial to observe the actual situation. Lu Li had seen the four alien races. He must decide the fighting strategy based on knowledge of the enemies.
Lu Renhuang had no more questions of his own. Silence took over the hall. After a while, Lu Li wondered, “Is Ye Cha around?”“Yes!”
A patriarch said. Lu Li cupped his fists and said to Patriarch of Law Enforcement, “I want them to go out and have a look.”
“Patriarch Lei, please go with them.”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement said that the Cyan Phoenix Race was the best of the scouts over the Great Land and that was a fact that nobody could question. It was a pity that Ye Cha had not reached the Earth Immortal Realm, or else not even the Asmodian God could inflict damage on Ye Cha.
Lu Li left with Patriarch Lei. It was a stressful atmosphere in the hall, so Jiang Qiling and Ye Luo came out as well, leaving Lu Renhuang to keep the senior warriors accompany.
As soon as Patriarch Lei, Lu Li, Jiang Qiling and Ye Cha went outside, they felt many psychic powers on them. Some people left their rooms and looked at the group from a distance.
Lu Li was surrounded by five Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves. He wore a bright magnificent beautiful robe. Next to him was the sexy and enchanting Jiang Qiling, who was rather breathtaking. Lu Li was envied by many people. Of course, more young masters admired Lu Li and there were pretty young ladies gazing at Lu Li with passion.
“Hmm, Lu Li, I think you are very popular now.”
All of a sudden, Jiang Qiling whispered into Lu Li’s ears, “Check out those young ladies who are looking at you. I think they are going to devour you and I believe they will come to your bed as soon as you say the word.”
Jiang Qiling delivered those word with a smile and a gentle tone. But somehow, Lu Li felt the chills on his back. He quickly explained in a serious tone, “Do you really think your husband is like this? Have I looked at them once? I am not that kind of person, not like Ye Luo…”
Ye Luo was standing right next to Lu Li and was looking toward the young ladies. On hearing Lu Li’s words, Ye Luo felt embarrassed. He cleared his throat and said immediately, “Lu Li, you are talking nonsense. You are not that kind and I am? Heaven knows how much I love Hongyu!”
“Ha, ha~”
Jiang Qiling grinned. Giving Ye Luo a glance, she continued, “I think I am going to have a talk with Hongyu when I get back. I will let her know how loyal you are. Ha, ha~”
Ye Luo paled on those words. He made a bow to Jiang Qiling with hands folded in front and said, “Please don’t do that. Will you kindly spare me…”
While they were chatting, they found themselves in a new mansion where the warriors sent by Lu Li resided in. Meng Zhi was also here together with warriors of the Mammoth Race and the Titan Race. But rooms here were not tall enough, so those warriors had to sit on the open land outside.
Bai Gu, Zi Lian, and some other familiar faces were among the crowds. Ye Cha was here as well. Lu Li went in, greeted the crowd and then called over Ye Cha to discuss the matter at hand.
Patriarch Lei distributed some maps to them, along with many antidote pellets. Those pellets were effective to all other kinds of poisons, except for the Voodoo Poison.
Ye Cha and the others accepted their assignments. Being the best of the scouts, Ye Cha was accountable to collect information. Ye Cha brought four patriarchs with him and secretly teleported away via Teleportation Formation at once. They were teleported to a secluded cave, from where they spread out to investigate.
Lu Li settled in the mansion, waiting for the night to fall quietly. The Demon-slaying Battleground was essentially a vast, independent small world. There was a distinction between days and nights in the world. But at night, the moon was red in color and was known as the blood moon.
It was growing darker and darker. The blood moon ascended to the sky, casting a red glow over the entire land. As they were told, the four alien races started to take actions.
To initiate the attack on the city at night was better. It could facilitate the Voodoo Race to release poisons and the Asmodians in secret raids. For this reason, during all this time, the four alien races had been launching ferocious attacks at night. On the contrary, their actions in the days were not as cruel.
Lu Li, Lu Renhuang, Patriarch of Law Enforcement and a group of other people stood in the city wall. The shield over the Heaven Blood City was not as strong as that over the Demon-slaying City. This shield was a blue one, giving out a feeble light. Under the blood moon, there was a hue of red and blue color, which was uncannily spooky.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
The Barbarian Race and the Feather Race were the first to come. With a height of more than one hundred feet, the Barbarian Race warriors were like moving mountains. Every step they made could shake the ground and even the Heaven Blood City. The millions of human warriors in the city felt their hearts pounding along.
The Feather Race spread their winds and hovered in the sky. There were so many of them that they covered up the entire sky. The red glow from the blood moon bounced off from their beautiful white feathers, adding a touch of peculiarity to the Feather Race.
The Voodoo Race and the Asmodians followed. The city wall of the Heaven Blood City was as tall as hundreds of feet. From above, Lu Li looked down. The open land outside was swamped with armies, endless formations.
The city wall was crowded with human warriors. Lu Li noticed that many of them had this awful looks on their faces. Evidently, those warriors felt suffocated and feared to see those four alien races.
“Woo, woo~”
The calling for an attack was initiated over at the four alien races. The Barbarian Race dashed over in rage. When they were hundreds of feet away from the city wall, they began to wave hammers and iron chains as they smashed the city shield. The Feather Race lined up in the sky, releasing countless arrows of feathers…
“Buzzing~”
The city shield glowed as the energy was consumed. Warriors on the city wall grew agitated. The shield was protecting them. That being said, warriors felt the hammers, chains, and arrows were coming directly to them. They could not help but feel nervous and frightened.
Lu Li observed for a while before he asked Patriarch of Law Enforcement, “At this rate, how much longer can the shield over this Heaven Blood City sustain on its energy?”
“Probably half a month!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement sighed. “Two months ago, the Voodoo Poison came into being. Since then, we had become cautious in our actions. The Heaven Blood City has been under attack for two months and the energy is running out. If we could not develop an antidote of the Voodoo Poison or kill the Asmodian Lord, it would only be a matter of time before the four cities fell. By then, it would be doomsday for the humans…”
“Then we must not let them continue like this!”
Lu Li was filled with murderous intent. After a pause, he continued, “I will spend half of the night observing. When Ye Cha comes back, I will go out and kill some of them myself, so that I can stop them from attacking the city.”
“Buzzing~”
There was a group of patriarchs and warriors of the Demon-slaying Hall around Lu Li. They were excited to hear his approval. They heard Lu Li had one Relic that not even the Deputy Master could crack. They were infused with hope that Lu Li had requested for a battle assignment.
