Chapter 542: My Darling

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The moment Deputy Master finished his words, the outcome had been finalized. Not even god could change that.

Truth be told, when Lu Li made his statement, his fate had been sealed. He had shamed Deputy Master in public. Anyone that did that, apart from the Grand Master, would have to face death.

To climb up at the Demon-slaying Hall was difficult. Fighting abilities was one thing. Behind each person here was an intricate intertwined web of connections. Demon-slaying Hall was the most powerful force at the Great Land and the members were powerful warriors from different families. The connections involved was so complicated that there might be domino effect with one single move. The fact that Deputy Master could climb up to the position was proof that the resources in his hands were beyond imagination.

Today, the Grand Master didn't show up!

Maybe…

It was possible that Grand Master had conceded secretly and he had rendered Deputy Master a favor by staying out of the matter.

Of course, it was also plausible that Grand Master was really in closed-door cultivation. Whichever reason it was, Deputy Master had announced the verdict. Not even Grant Master would object if he come out or else the Demon-slaying Hall would descend into chaos.

Patriarch Yang grabbed Lu Li on his shoulder. A surge of strange energy enveloped Lu Li. Once again, neither Lu Li nor Little White could move.

Patriarch Yang took Lu Li outside in strides. Many powerful warriors in the chamber followed them out. Some of them were seeking a way to vent their anger while others might be bidding farewell to Lu Li.

Deputy Master stood up and left. Law Enforcement Patriarch sat there still emotionlessly. At the moment Lu Li was taken outside, though, he closed his eyes.

He didn't want others to see the remorse and guilt in his eyes.

Yang Xuan walked out with the crowd. Lu Ni had gone out even earlier. Die Feiyu didn't, though. She lowered her head, afraid to see what was going on outside.

Ji Mengtian would have gone out but she turned to Lu Suan and saw him show no move. She seemed to understand some things and stayed behind as well.

Law Enforcement Patriarch suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Suan who lowered his head right away in respect.

Law Enforcement Patriarch sighed, shook his head and said in a low voice, "Lu Suan, you are a talent but you will not make a qualified Family Patriarch. You have…disappointed me."

With that said, Law Enforcement Patriarch disappeared in the chamber. Lu Suan was stunned pale instantly. Law Enforcement Patriarch's look was like two sharp swords piercing into Lu Suan's soul and dug out every secret hidden in his heart.

The words might be less important coming from others.

But who was the Law Enforcement Patriarch? He was the strongest patron of the Lu Family and Lu Suan's great-grandpa. If Law Enforcement Patriarch sent a message back to the Lu Family, then Lu Suan's future would be bleach.

Soon, Lu Suan's looks turned fierce. His eyes glowed and his fists clenched together. He said in a voice audible only to himself, "I am not a qualified Family Patriarch? Then who is? Lu Li? I am confident that I will lead the Lu Family to glory and lay down a foundation for the Lu Family to prosper for millions of years. Great-grandpa, just you wait. I will prove it to you."

"Let's go out and have a look!"

Lu Suan waved to Ji Mengtian. He only stayed here to put on a show for Law Enforcement Patriarch. Now that he had seen everything through, there was no need for Lu Suan to pretend anymore. He wanted to see Lu Li die with his own eyes. Nobody at the Lu Family would threaten the status of Lu Suan after the demise of Lu Li.

It was crowded. There were 6000 warriors originally and now the number had grown to more than 10,000.

Patriarch Yang grabbed Lu Li and walked slowly toward the plaza. He seemed to have slowed down on purpose to stall. Obviously, he was trying to get more people to come out and kill Lu Li in their face as a warning.

Lu Li had offended many people today, Patriarch Yang among them. He wanted everyone at the Demon-slaying Hall and the Central Plains to know and let the news spread out to the world—anyone that was bold enough to challenge the Demon-slaying Hall, the Deputy Master and him had only one possible fate, the ultimate demise.

Lu Li showed no expressions. He didn't seem to be frustrated or angry. All he felt was guilt, guilt toward Bai Qiuxue, Jiang Qiling and Lu Renhuang and Lu Ling.

Bai Qiuxue was still frozen in ice. If he died and she couldn't reach the third level of Enchantment, she would have to endure loneliness in the ice for 100 years before she could die!

And Jiang Qiling. She was such an unyielding girl. When she learned he was killed, would she commit suicide? She had made several attempts before. If she had her heart broken once again, it was highly likely she would do it again.

Lu Ling, his poor sister. Where was she suffering now…

Lu Li was brought to the middle of the plaza. From all directions soon came more people. He saw from the corner of his eyes that Ji Nu, Yang Ji and several others were standing about 100 feet away. Their eyes were filled with ridicule and sneer. A glint of coldness flashed through Lu Li's eyes. If he could move, he would have hacked the two to death.

Lu Suan, Lu Ni, Ji Mengtian and Yang Xuan were less high profile. After all, they would be berated given their special status if they were flashing it away.

Powerful warriors and patriarchs walked out from the chamber were observing from the distance. Some of them were gloating while others had mixed feelings of pity and dismay.

Anyways!

It had been accepted to all that Lu Li was a talent.

He was 17, at the initial stage of the Fate Wheel Realm and he could already defeat the four alien races, overwhelm Lu Suan, Ji Mengtian and the other reputable young masters and young ladies and he could take a Quasi Relic from the Barbarian Race. All those were proof of his amazing abilities and qualities!

If Lu Li hadn't been driven out from the Lu Family and today's incident never happened, what awaited Lu Li would be praise from the world, from powerful warriors and training for him to grow.

There were now more than 12,000 warriors present. More were observing with psychic power. Seeing that it was about time, Patriarch Yang stopped the noises and shouted, "I am carrying out orders from Deputy Master. Lu Li has violated rules of the Demon-slaying Hall. His crime cannot be pardoned. He will be executed in public as a warning!"

It was so silent that the sound of a needle dropping could be heard. More than 10,000 warriors looked at Patriarch Yang as he lifted up one hand. The hand was skinny and old but undoubtedly—Lu Li's head would be crushed like a watermelon when the hand fell.

The hand was raised to less than 30 feet above Lu Li's head. Xuan Energy began to glare. With a glint of coldness flashing through his eyes, Patriarch Yang smashed down his hand at Lu Li's head.

"My darling—"

It was at that precise moment when a person flew up from a castle in the distance and a grieved yell came through. The sound was so full of terror and despair that people were saddened by it.

People looked over out of instinct. They saw an incredible beautiful girl in red dress.

That girl was pale was if she an invalid just recovered from a dangerous illness. She looked at Lu Li from the distance with her beautiful eyes and shouted, "My darling, don't worry. I will be with you soon!"

A dagger appeared in her hand. She pressed it against her neck. As soon as Lu Li died, she would cut her throat and go with him.

"What~"

The quiet plaza was taken by surprise. Almost all at the city knew Jiang Qiling. The future chosen warrior wanted to leave the world with Lu Li?

"Whoosh!"

A man appeared suddenly behind her. He patted the back of her head. She rolled her eyes, collapsed and fainted again.

Maybe the appearance of Jiang Qiling had sowed doubt in Patriarch Yang. He slowed down his action by a bit and the energy enveloping Lu Li vanished.

"Whoosh~"

From Lu Li's sleeve came a flash of black blur. Little White had rushed out toward Patriarch Yang's hand directly!

Patriarch Yang was at the Earthly Immortals Realm, which meant his reaction was fast. But when he detected that it was only a small beast, he didn't stop. He planned to smash Little White along with Lu Li.

"Crack~"

However, what people heard was a clear sound. Amid the surprised stares from many, Patriarch Yang's hand was bitten off from its wrist by Little White at a horrifying speed!
