Chapter 867: How Could They?

Tens of thousands of miles to the north of the Serenity Plains was a perilous area. According to legends, demons and monsters lurked around in this place. All the humans that entered the area would be hunted by the demons and eventually turn into ghosts.

The story about this area had been around for more than one hundred thousand years. Many warriors of the Serenity Plains that went to this place never came back. Ten thousand years ago, a Human Sovereign Realm warrior from the Serenity Plains wanted to challenge fate. He went but never came out.

This area featured a mountain range with a dark haze around it, emitting a spooky atmosphere. Even the temperature dropped by more than a dozen degrees. It turned people’s blood cold.

Lu Li arrived with the troop. He used psychic power to scan the area as he listened to warriors of Serenity Plains giving him the introduction.

This was a hidden land. There must be Earth Immortal Realm warriors from the Ji Family guarding the place. Naturally, those from the Serenity Plains intruding this area could not make it back.

Lu Li brought three Earth Immortal Realm warriors with him. Lu Ling did not come. Lu Li was a capable warrior and those several Earth Immortal Realm warriors were enough for them to force their way in. There was no need for any setup.

Great Grandfather Five came in person. Accompanying him were powerful warriors of the Lu Family and the affiliates. More than one thousand were at the Noble Lord Realm.

“Whoosh, whoosh~”

As they were about to go into the area, they heard some noises coming from behind them. Lu Li frowned. He checked with psychic power. To his surprise, it was the master of the Palace of Heaven’s Roars with four Earth Immortal Realm warriors and leaders of the Palace of Immortal’s Inquiries and Red Lunar.

“What are they doing here?”

Great Grandfather Five murmured. Lu Li put on a sarcastic smile. Needless to say, this group was here to butter them up by helping them with eliminating Ji Family disciples.

“Grand Master Lu!”

The masters flew over with hundreds of warriors. Yin Feiyun, the master of the Palace of Immortal’s Inquiries, shouted from the distance, “You are pretty quick. We moved out as soon as we learned the news, but we have just arrived.”

“He is right!”

“Ha, ha, ha!”

The Master of the Palace of Heaven’s Roars did not say much other than cupping his fists and said, “Nice to meet you, Grand Master Lu.”

“Nice to meet you all!”

Lu Li smiled. He merely gave a nod as he said, “Thank you so much. Well, as a matter of fact, I am indebted to you. You have done me a great favor. I owe you.”

“Grand Master, you flatter me.”

The Master of Palace of Heaven’s Roars did not seem to be advanced in age. He was strong, like a cow. He waved his hand and said, “Grand Master, you have done much for the human race. We are just doing you a small favor. You don’t owe us anything. It is us that owe you.”

Master of the Palace of Heaven’s Roars was a smart man. Not only did he decline Lu Li’s favor, but he also talked to Lu Li in a subtle way.

Lu Li nodded with satisfaction and said, “Still, a thank-you is in order. You are a kind man.”

The Master of the Palace of Heaven’s Roars grinned from ear to ear upon hearing what Lu Li said. Chen Tianjiao and Yin Feiyun were jealous. However, it was the Palace of Heaven’s Roars that found out about the Samsara Region.

Chen Tianjiao added, “That is right. Grand Master, you have made such great efforts. This time, please let us set forth in advance to make arrangements. I cannot believe that someone has the courage to hurt Madam Yan. That someone sure is our enemy. We will fight for Madam Yan.”

Yin Feiyun also seemed to be furious as he said, “Ji Family has committed sins. It is a monstrous crime to attack Madam Yan. Madam Yan is so kind and beautiful. How could they offend her? How could they?”

Bai Xiashuang was right next to Lu Li. She could not stop smiling when she heard those words. Lu Li was speechless. How could those people not feel embarrassed? They could say anything just to suck up to him. Ji Family hated Lu Li and it was within reason that they would attack. But to Yin Feiyun, Ji Family turned heinous…

“Thank you all very much.”

For the sake of Bai Xiashuang, Lu Li cupped his fists and said politely. Then, he waved everyone in and said, “Let’s go and have a look.”

The group moved out in a formidable array. The area was loaded with Inhibition Formations. But Ke Mang had come in advance. Those dangerous Inhibition Formations had been destroyed. The group flew to the depth of the mountain range.

In here, three Earth Immortal Realm warriors were on guard. Ke Mang was here as well. They bowed as soon as Lu Li arrived.

Lu Li took a look. There was a huge cave. He could tell that there used to be some illusions but those should already be destroyed.

He asked, “Ke Mang, what is the situation?”

Ke Mang replied, “The entrance in there is closed. But given time, I think I can open up the entrance.”

“Okay!”

Lu Li was relieved. The Wicked Bead glowed, and an Earth Immortal Realm warrior came out. He was a patriarch of the Internal Clan of the Ji Family. But now, he was Lu Li’s soul slave.

“Do it now!”

This patriarch knew how to contact with people inside. After he gave the signal, those people inside would open the entrance. Even if they didn’t, Ke Mang could get it open. How to make it in was not a problem for Lu Li.

“Get ready!”

There were 10 Earth Immortal Realm warriors in total, including Chen Tianjiao and Yin Feiyun. They stayed close to the Ji Family’s Earth Immortal Realm warrior, ready to charge forward at any time.

Lu Li waved his hand. The Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves with him unsheathed their weapons, all prepared to take action. Lu Li, on the other hand, stayed at the back casually with Bai Xiashuang.

Most of the Ji Family’s Earth Immortal Realm warriors had been eliminated. There might be some of them in the Samsara Region, but the number would not be greater than three. This was a fight that Lu Li did not have to participate in person.

In the depth of the cave, the Ji Family’s Earth Immortal Realm soul slave took out a jade talisman. He crushed it and the others all waited quietly.

“Buzzing~”

After the time for one incense stick to burn, the seal in the cave glowed, revealing a dark and narrow entrance. Lu Li waved everyone in and said, “Let’s go!”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”

Like hungry tigers dashing toward their prey, the Earth Immortal Realm warriors charged into the cave, followed by some Human Sovereign Realm warriors. Lu Li did not hurry in with Bai Xiashuang. After the time for one incense stick to burn, a jade talisman Lu Li held broke. He nodded and said, “Shuang-er, it is safe now. Let’s go.”

They entered, followed by other warriors. After a flash of white glared, Lu Li and Bai Xiashuang found themselves in a small city. A round of battles had ended. Many people were dead in the city and more were captured.

From the soul slave of Ji Family’s patriarch, Lu Li learned many things about the Samsara Region. This small city was built to guard the entrance. In this small world were three large cities and several smaller ones. More than ten thousand survivors of the Ji Family resided in this small world. Of course, among them were someone from Ji Family’s affiliates. Those people were afraid that Lu Li was going to retaliate so they came to hide.

“Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing~”

More warriors kept coming in. The entire troop constituted of merely over one thousand warriors, but all were above the Noble Lord Realm.

Lu Li did not even have the desire to take action himself. After all, this was merely a boring killing for him. When everyone in his troop came in, Lu Li gave an order to Chen Tianjiao and the others, “They have three major cities. Split into three teams and move out. Ji Family has many treasures and valuables here. The three of you can get one-tenth each. Also, do not kill the innocent, women and children. As for their warriors… spare no one!”

“One percent?”

Chen Tianjiao was overjoyed. Samsara Place had been an overlord for a long time. They had accumulated a tremendous amount of treasures. Even one percent was more than enough.

“Charge!”
