Chapter 207: Die For Him
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
A middle-aged warrior of the Cyan Phoenix Race carried Lu Li and rushed toward the tribe in a speed as fast as flash. The other warrior had already gone to the tribe to report.
The two warriors of the Cyan Phoenix Race should both be at the Fate Wheel Realm. They were very fast, and in just an hour, Lu Li could see the tribe in the distance.
The warrior went back ahead to report so Ye Cha came out to greet Lu Li with four other Patriarchs. Ye Xiaoxi was there, too. Many civilians were looking at Lu Li with excitement and curiosity.
"Greetings, Saint Lord!"
After Lu Li came over, Ye Cha and the several Patriarchs bowed to him. The other civilians all knelt down, shouting, "Greetings, Saint Lord!"
Only Ye Xiaoxi was pouting. She just casually bent over and said the words with others. Lu Li didn’t smile. He only coldly nodded. "Get up now. Clan Leader Ye and Patriarchs, go with me to the Meeting Hall."
Lu Li’s expression and attitude surprised everyone. Ye Xiaoxi was very unpleased. If Lu Li was at the Eternal Realm or the Noble Lord Realm, it was okay for him to act like this, but he was only at the Spirit Sea Realm and he was showing off?
Ye Cha and the Patriarchs were not offended. They soon followed Lu Li to the Meeting Hall with great respect. On their way, Ye Cha asked in a gentle voice, "Saint Lord, has something happened?"
Lu Li paid no attention at all to Ye Cha. He walked in front of everyone with arrogance. He seemed to be a totally different person from the one that came here the first time. This time, he was much more arrogant and aggressive.
Ye Cha and the other four Patriarchs looked at each other, shocked again. Still, they didn’t feel too upset. They went on in silence.
After they entered the Meeting Hall, Lu Li sat on the central seat without saying anything. Since he didn’t give permission, Ye Cha and the others were afraid to take their seats. They were standing in awe, waiting for Lu Li to allow them to sit down.
Silence, silence!
Lu Li drank the tea some maids had brought him arrogantly. He lowered his eyes, uttering no word, which was baffling for Ye Cha and the others.
Only after the time for one entire incense stick to burn did Lu Li look at Ye Cha and said, "Clan Leader Ye, I need some Xuan Crystals because of an emergency. Can you give me some Mystical Materials? I want to trade for some Xuan Crystals."
The several Patriarchs’ expressions changed. After Lu Li came in, he said nothing other than asking for Mystical Materials directly. How could he assume such an attitude now that he was in debt to them?
Ye Cha’s expressions didn’t change. He nodded and said, "Saint Lord, how many Xuan Crystals do you need? I will send someone to fetch the Mystical Material."
Lu Li casually mentioned, "Three billion!"
"Hiss, hiss…"
The four Patriarchs gasped. Lu Li had demanded an exorbitant price. One Heaven Serpent Fruit was worthy about 40 or 50 million. He was practically asking for 60 or even 70 Heaven Serpent Fruits. He thought the Cyan Phoenix Race was his personal warehouse of Mystical Materials?
Ye Cha was hesitating, but only for a little while. Soon, he said, "There is no problem for us to provide you with the Mystical Materials. But I am worried, Saint Lord, that someone will notice you when you sell so many Mystical Materials. It will do you harm. Saint Lord, can you tell me what is going on. And how will you sell them?"
"Why are you asking so many questions?"
Lu Li waved his hand bossily and said, "I just want to know if you can give me or not. If not, I will think of something myself."
"Eh?"
This time, the expressions of the four Patriarchs completely altered. Lu Li was so swollen with arrogance. Did he really think that he was the master and the others were his slaves? Even if they were slaves, should he put on such an air now that he wanted something from them?
"Yes!"
Ye Cha’s eyes flickered in hesitation. After a moment, he said, "Brother Four, go and get 70 Heaven Serpent Fruits for our Saint Lord."
"Clan Leader…"
Patriarch Four was unwilling to move. Ye Cha’s expressions grew colder as he said, "Why are you still standing here? Even if it was our lives that our Saint Lord want, we still could not have a moment of hesitation, let alone these small things. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Patriarch Four left in a hurry. After a short while, he came back and gave Lu Li an Interspatial Ring. Lu Li nodded, took over the ring and poured his Xuan Energy in to make it his. He made sure that there were 70 Heaven Serpent Fruits in there. Lu Li stood up and said, "That’s good. Okay, Clan Leader Ye, show me out now."
Ye Cha nodded and led Lu Li out of the Meeting Hall. Without even throwing the other four Patriarchs a glance, Lu Li at once left the Meeting Hall. Only when he got to the door did he look at the four Patriarchs and asked, "You will not go and see me out?"
"We will!"
The four Patriarchs pushed down their anger and followed Ye Cha out. When they got out of the tribe, Ye Cha carried Lu Li and rushed toward the forest. On their way there, Lu Li said nothing, so did Ye Cha and the others.
Ye Cha stopped at the Inhibition Formation in the forest. Lu Li stood on the stone on the Inhibition Formation. He glanced over the four gloomy-looking Patriarchs and coldly said, "Are you four feeling upset? I just take some things from you and you dare to offend me with such an attitude?"
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Again, the expressions of the four changed. There seemed to be some anger flashing in their eyes. Ye Cha threw them a cold glance and scolded, "Kneel! Apologize to our Saint Lord."
Looking at the cold glares from Ye Cha, the four knelt down, biting their teeth, faces flushing in embarrassment. They said to Lu Li in a deep voice, "Saint Lord, please forgive us!"
"Hmm, hmm!"
Lu Li coldly smiled. "You must remember that I am your Saint Lord. You all count on me to bring you back to your ancestral ground and restore your past glory. You cannot hesitate even if I want you to die, let alone taking something from you. Understood?"
The four lowered their heads, clenched their teeth and said in grief and indignation, "Yes!"
"Good!" Lu Li nodded and said to Ye Cha, "Activate the Teleportation Formation."
"Saint Lord, take care."
Ye Cha nodded yes and released Xuan Energy. The Inhibition Formation lit up as Lu Li disappeared from the small world.
"He has gone too far, too far!"
As soon as Lu Li left, the four Patriarchs stood up. Patriarch Four looked at Ye Cha with fury and said, "Clan Leader, this punk is bullying us. Are you sure that this kind of Saint Lord can lead us back to our ancestral land?"
"Clan Leader!"
The other three also looked Ye Cha who seemed awful as well. After a moment of silence, Ye Cha said, "I once said his surname is Lu, and he has the animal tooth pendant and the Silver Dragon Bloodline so he should be our Saint Lord. You can never question him. However… this time, he is acting quite abnormally. This is not who he is."
"Not who he is?"
Patriarch Four said in a storm of anger, "Is there anyone else asking us to kneel down just now? He took billions of worth of Mystical Materials from us and he was so arrogant. He treated us as humans now. Saint Lord of this kind… we can give him up!"
"Stop!"
Ye Cha fulminated. "Whatever he is like, he still is our Saint Lord. For the future of our two races, I will sacrifice my life for him, not to mention suffering from some injustice."
The four Patriarchs said no more, even if they were still angry.
As Ye Cha was ready to leave with the four Patriarchs, the Inhibition Formation once again lit up. After a moment, a smiling young man emerged from the Inhibition Formation. Who else was it other than Lu Li?
"Eh?"
The five people looked at Lu Li’s pleasant face, as if they didn’t know him. This Lu Li looked nothing like the one they met before.
Lu Li stepped out of the Inhibition Formation, cupped his fists, bowed and said, "Patriarchs, I am sorry that I have offended you just now. Please forgive me."
Ye Cha didn’t understand what Lu Li was doing. He asked in confusion, "Saint Lord, what are you…"
Lu Li answered with a grin, "Nothing. I was just messing with you. Take back your Heaven Serpent Fruits. Well… here are some presents for you."
Lu Li gave the Interspatial Ring with the 70 Heaven Serpent Fruits back to Ye Cha and then gave him six jade boxes. "I think these will be very helpful to you."
Ye Cha opened the jade boxes in suspicion. A profound fragrance assaulted their noses, causing the five to be invigorated.
Ye Cha took a peek at the Mystical Material in the box. His old body trembled as he shouted, "Ri… Rising Dragon Grass?"
