Chapter 673: Inviting Humiliation



Chapter 673: Inviting Humiliation

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li and Hu Lang swaggered back to the Cloud Sea with the three Beast Kings. Hades Society sent a message to people along the way, forbidding anyone to challenge or attack the Beast Kings.

Hades Society put down a gag order as well. They allowed for nobody to speak anything about the Beast Kings and declared that violators would be punished by death.

That being said, given the scale of the matter, it was not surprising that information would be leaked. The general public was kept in the dark but the major families learned the news. The 12 Royal Families were the first to be informed. Of course, they didn’t allow the news to spread further.

Therefore, all the general public knew was that three Beast Kings were chasing after a human and they stepped into the territory of the Hades Society. Later, powerful warriors of the Hades Society drove the three Beast Kings out of the Central Plains.

Since the gag order was put in place quickly and the three Beast Kings didn’t cause too big a casualty, the matter quieted down soon.

However…

The major families could not stay calm because…it was related to Lu Li, who, to their utmost surprise, could control Beast Kings!

For millions of years, humans had been studying how to control Xuan Beasts. At the beginning of history, humans were in a weak position. Powerful Xuan Beasts pervaded. The number of Xuan Beasts around the Great Land was beyond count. Humans stood to be empowered should they be able to control Beast Kings.

Unfortunately, many had studied for a long time and yet the best humans could do was to control fourth or fifth rank Xuan Beasts, which was pointless. To many, this was a lifelong regret. Lucky for humans, Emperor of Heaven Reverse came to the rescue.

Today, someone finally was able to control Beast Kings and he controlled three. Many had witnessed with their own eyes how Lu Li controlled the three Beast Kings to kill Shi Jun. It was an undeniable fact.

They didn’t know how Lu Li did it or whether he could keep the Beast Kings in control for a long time. But at least, he had done it. Naturally, the matter became sensational. On top of that, Lu Li’s identity was sensitive…

The four forces felt bothered. They were not worried that Lu Li would order a crowd of Beast Kings to make a mess. However, they were concerned that Xing Mu would promise to cover for Lu Li for a lifetime given how uniquely gifted he was or to take Lu Li into the Demon-slaying Hall.

But the Demon-slaying Hall didn’t give any response days afterwards. Words were that after Xing Mu heard about it, he gave nothing other than a smile…

At a coastal city was a tasteful tavern that was built over a cliff. The top floor of the tavern provided on ocean view, quite picturesque.

At the moment, several young masters and young ladies in elegant robes were here. If Lu Li were to pass by, he would recognize all of them.

Lu Suan, Lu Ni, Ji Mengtian, Ji Mengyao, Yang Xuan, Die Feiyu and Yang Yu were gathered together. None of them was saying anything and all were drinking and sulking. Yang Xuan, Lu Ni and Ji Mengyao looked frustrated. Die Feiyu was mentally disturbed. Only Lu Suan and Ji Mengtian stayed calm and composed.

“Bang!”

After sitting for a while, Lu Ni slapped the table, stood up in rage and said, “How can that little bastard be so lucky? How come three Human Sovereign Realm warriors cannot kill him? When did he start to control Beast Kings? He makes me so mad!”

Ji Mengyao added, gritting her teeth in hatred, “He must have used some taboo objects or learned some taboo skills or else he wouldn’t be able to control Beast Kings? Should we send someone to investigate off the records? If we can find evidence of any taboo objects or skills, not that old dog Xing Mu can protect him.”

“Sister, watch your mouth!”

Ji Mengtian said seriously and gave Ji Mengyao a scolding look. Ji Mengyao touched her nose and sat down. She was drunk with flames of fury. If words got out that she was being disrespectful to Xing Mu, the Samsara Palace might not be influenced but she would be in trouble.

Lu Suan waved his hand and said, “Even if there are evidences, we will not be able to find them. Who should we send? He has Human Sovereign Realm warrior and Beast Kings with him. Who can get to him?”

Lu Ni said unhappily, “How about…we spend some money and ask an Earth Immortal Realm warrior to make a move? We don’t have to look for evidence. We can just ask that Earth Immortal Realm warrior to kill Lu Li.”

“Um…”

Ji Mengyao, Yang Xuan and Yang Yu were very intrigued by Lu Ni’s suggestion. The others might not know but they understood perfectly well that—there were many old warriors living in seclusion at the Great Lands. Those were warriors that had offended the 12 Royal Families and had to hide. They were in great need of Mystical Materials.

To mobilize warriors of their own families to kill Lu Li was something none of them had the courage to do. To bring trouble to their own families could be catastrophic.

Therefore, for the past few attempts, they had resorted to forces outside of their respective families. They solicited Human Sovereign Realm warriors from the Serenity Plains to attack the Clouds Plains and they had paid Recluse Solar Dragon to ambush Lu Li at the underground palace.

What was more…

They might have the idea of turning to Earth Immortal Realm warriors of their own families but they would be turned down for sure. None of the young masters or young ladies here today had the authority to do that just yet.

However, if they could find help from an Earth Immortal Realm warrior from outside of their families, Lu Li would most certainly be killed no matter how skillful he was. He could control 100 Beast Kings and still couldn’t save himself. Human Sovereign Realm warriors or Beast Kings were nothing in the face of the rage of an Earth Immortal Realm warrior.

“Hmm!”

Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan looked at each other with bitter smiles on their faces. Lu Suan said nothing. Ji Mengtian stood up and said, “You are too simple minded. First of all, can you imagine the cost to ask an Earth Immortal Realm warrior to help? Also, even if we could offer something that would be appealing to such a warrior, do you suppose those at the Demon-slaying Hall were idiots? They might have left us alone when we used Human Sovereign Realm warriors. But once we turn to an Earth Immortal Realm warrior and take actions, we will not be able to escape death.”

“Um…”

Lu Ni, Yang Xuan and others looked at each other. Ji Mengyao and Yang Xuan seemed to have understood but Lu Ni, Die Feiyu and Yang Yu were still confused.

Lu Ni didn’t get any explanation from Ji Mengtian so he turned to Lu Suan and asked, “Demon-slaying Hall hasn’t done anything to save Lu Li. Why would they do so if we used an Earth Immortal Realm warrior?”

“Because we will have crossed the line!”

Lu Suan answered with a sigh, “Everything in moderation. Why did the Grand Master say he would cover Lu Li for 10 years? You haven’t thought about the underlying reason, have you? On the surface, Grand Master is trying not to displease Deputy Master and our families. In fact…he is trying to exert some pressure on Lu Li so that he can grow quickly in those 10 years’ time. Grand Master is helping Lu Li develop indirectly. If Grand Master wanted to save Lu Li every time, who do you think can go against him? Have you forgotten the incident 600 years ago?”

“600 years?”

Lu Ni and Die Feiyu shivered. Yang Xuan and Ji Mengyao were convinced and they fell to their chairs feebly.

Standing up, putting his hands at his back, Lu Suan said, “600 years ago, Grand Master killed Third Master and four other patriarchs himself and who dared to say no? Xing Mu is a man of resolution in killing. He will not think twice once he is committed. Therefore, it might seem that he conceded to Deputy Master but actually he is just steeling Lu Li.”

“Sister Meng Yao, you thought it was traceless that you used warriors of the Serenity Plains to attack the Clouds Plains? You thought the Demon-slaying Hall didn’t know we asked three Human Sovereign Realm warriors to ambush Lu Li? You have underestimated the Demon-slaying Hall!”

“Our Family Patriarchs have stayed away from our fight against Lu Li and they have said nothing. This feud now is still among us young people and it is above reproach that we have been helped by some Human Sovereign Realm warriors. On the other hand, if we went to Earth Immortal Realm warriors, not only the Demon-slaying Hall, but also our families would not condone it. It would infuriate Grand Master Xing.”

“Now that Lu Li can control Beast Kings, it is pointless to mobilize more Human Sovereign Realm warriors and we cannot go to Earth Immortal Realm warriors. Our families will not allow us to be so rash.”

Lu Suan sighed. He seemed to be defeated. Gazing into the sea, he shook his head and continued, “We have lost and we must admit it. We will have to wait until the 10 years’ time is up unless some of us can be the best of the Human Sovereign Realm warriors or reach the Earth Immortal Realm. We must swallow the pain now and you will have to find a way to do that even if you cannot. We will be only…inviting humiliation to rock the boat!”
