Chapter 858: Landscape Changed

Since the passing of his wife, Lu Renhuang had locked himself up. Apart from his two kids and his families, the only thing on his mind was the pursuit of greater achievement in his warrior life.

His son and daughter had grown. They were more accomplished than him. There was nothing for him to worry about his children. His father had recovered. He did not have to concern himself about the Lu Family, either. His entire mind was now on becoming a more powerful warrior.

He had visited the Prison of Wood in the Prison of Primordial Chaos. That was a lace that was calling him. He yearned for the Prison of Ice at heart. That was a holy place for him to learn a Profound Meaning in the family of ice.

Lu Li had nothing to say. Lu Renhuang was determined and resolute. The former waited for a while to make sure that he could no longer change Lu Renhuang’s mind. Afterwards, Li nodded and said, “Alright. Thank you, father. Leng Wuxin, go with him. I will send five soul slaves to go with you. Go to the Prison of Ice directly. Lay low and don’t get caught!”

“There is no need for Earth Immortal Realm warriors. It will make us more of a target!”

Lu Renhuang knew that those soul slaves were captured from different families. He was capable enough to defeat other Earth Immortal Realm warriors, so those soul slaves wouldn’t be of much help. Rather, they could get exposed.

“You are right. Then let two patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall to go with you. At the very least, you will have some company.”

Lu Li nodded after some thought, “Take this Zen Bead. It can scare off the Beasts of Primordial Chaos. Leng Wuxin, Uncle Nine of the Jun Family, give my father a detailed account of the Prison of Ice and Prison of Wind, and show him information of the grasses.”

“Yes!”

Leng Wuxin nodded. Lu Li left with Jiang Qiling. They went to check on Jiang Tianshun, and to learn about the situation in the city.

Jiang Tianshun and the others who were poisoned were frozen. There were over two thousands of them. They were seriously wounded. Those that were poisoned earlier had already passed away…

Jiang Tianshun and the other Earth Immortal Realm warriors were stable. They had one or two years left. After all, Earth Immortal Realm warriors were stronger. As for the other warriors and Human Sovereign Realm ones, they had half a year or one year left.

“Whoosh~”

Lu Li left the room. A man flashed by. Lu Li took a look. To his surprise, it was Ye Cha. “Whoosh~”

Given the urgency, Lu Li had not had the time to check on Ye Cha. Lu Li was happy to see him now and asked, “Ye Cha, anything wrong?”

“Meng Zhi has died!”

Ye Cha said with grief. Lu Li was shocked. When they were fighting against the four alien races, Lu Li did notice someone from the Titan Race and the Mammoth Race. But he did not have time to talk to them because he was entirely focused on his fights against the four alien races. Meng Zhi was dead?

“How many died in your races?”

Lu Li asked, sorrowfully. Ye Cha thought about it and said, “A few dozens, I suppose. Meng Zhi was killed by an Asmodian Earth Immortal Realm warrior. But Meng Zhi did kill a bunch of four alien races. His death was worthwhile.”

“I understand. Bring his remains back and bury him properly.”

Lu Li sighed. On second thought, he said, “You know what? Take him to your ancestral grounds! I think your ancestral grounds are by where the Yaksha Race is, right? When you go back this time, go and reclaim that land.”

“Our ancestral grounds?” Ye cha was surprised. He dropped to his knees and said in joy, “Saint Lord, thank you!”

“You are welcome. You deserve this.”

Lu Li said, shaking his head. “Can you unseal your small world’s Inhibition Formation? If so, relocate your clans! Later, I will have the Lu Family and Jiang Family to help you expel the Yaksha Race there, so you can take your lands back. Also, the other ancient races like the Titan Race, if they want to go with you, let them. I can get a larger land for you. How about 10 regions per race?”

Lu Li promised Ye Cha, Meng Zhi and God of Meng to lead their races back to the Central Plains. He had the ability now. Unfortunately, God of Meng and Meng Zhi had passed away.

“That is more than enough!”

Ye Cha nodded. Their races did not have a large population. As a matter of fact, one region per race was adequate. Ten regions were more than enough for them to develop quickly.

“Okay, go and set it up. I will go back to the Inferno after some time. You can go with me.”

Lu Li said. He planned to return to the Inferno after everything was settled down here. As for the Demon-slaying Hall? He was not attached to this place at all. Patriarch of Law Enforcement could manage.

Lu Li went to Patriarch of Law Enforcement and sent someone to scout around for information of the four alien races. Lu Li stated his plan. Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not say otherwise. It was stable. The four alien races would not invade any time soon. Where Lu Li lived did not matter. In the event of an invasion, the Demon-slaying City could provide protection for some time, while Lu Li could teleport here.

The reinforcement from the Central Plains returned bit by bit. The Demon-slaying Hall returned to normal soon. Nothing changed, other than the fact that someone died and a new Grand Master had come to power.

As more and more people went back, what happened here was learned by people all over the Great Land. The nine plains were extremely shocked.

Pavilion of Blossoms, Hades Society, Yaksha Race, and the Life League was in a constant state of anxiety. Their Family Patriarchs had died. Almost all their contacts in the Demon-slaying Hall were rooted out. Lu Li had become the hero of mankind. He would definitely go after the four forces.

“We need to leave!”

Hades Society and the Yaksha Race were decisive. They organized their families to retreat right away. Those forces all had small worlds in their control. Even though there might be less and scarce Mystical Materials, and it would be harder to develop, but staying at the Central Plains would lead them to nothing, but death.

Lu Li might not go after them. But those forces had offended too many families over the years. Those families would ally together to wipe the four forces out.

Leaving now, they could still have a chance to transfer their valuables and wealth they accumulated over the years. The powerfuls and their families could be saved.

The Hades Society and the Yaksha Race were of the same minds. The Pavilion of Delicacy and the Life League were in a panic. They did the same, in a hurry. As for the remaining forces of the Ji Family, they had left already. The landscape of the Central Plains was changed all of a sudden.

With several Royal Families gone, many territories became unoccupied. Countless mines, farms, and mountains were abandoned.

However…

No family dared to go and claim those territories at the moment before Lu Li and the Lu Family declared their positions. Those Royal Families that stayed were disturbed. Lu Li and the Lu Family were too strong. Was there anyone that could stop them, if they wished to unify the world?

In the old days, the Demon-slaying Hall had the dominant power. They were seldomly involved in the affairs of the Great Land. Even so, they had been keeping tabs of families in case any one of them became too strong and unified the world.

But now, Lu Li was the boss of the Great Land. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was from the Lu Family. Lu Renhuang was better than many Earth Immortal Realm warriors, not to mention others such as Lu Ling…

The Lu Family was formidable. Any family that dared to stand in the way would have to face possible doom.

“Lu Li, have you thought about ruling all the land?” In the Demon-slaying City, Patriarch of Law Enforcement asked Lu Li before he went back.

Scouts that went to gather information of the four alien races came back. All the entrances on the Asmodians’ side had been closed. The other alien races had gone back. Only a small amount stayed to protect their cities. The four alien races were not coming to attack the humans any time soon.

“Rule the world?”

Lu Li had not considered it. The question caught him by surprise. He wondered in a frown. After a moment, he answered, “Personally, I do not care that much. It is the same. I will need to ask my sister. She is the one enjoying being a majesty.”

Lu Ling had said before that she would take him with her to conquer the Central Plains and then the Great Land. They would ascend to the throne together. At this moment, this target seemed to be easily attainable…
