Chapter 739: Upside Down
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
“This is pretty much it!”
In total, disciples of five families had been taken down by Lu Li. It would be pointless for Lu Li to go after more families if these five families couldn’t even occupy the entrance to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God to the north of City of Leng.
Through the spiritual connection built by the soul seeds, Lu Li told Jun Mengchen to come back. The latetr should be on his way at the moment as Lu Li had ordered him to return within half a month.
Lu Li felt the fatigue in his soul grew worse as he took the four outside under control. He could tell that based on the strength of his soul that he had reached the limit. More soul slaves could backfire.
He arranged for the wounded to recover while he took out top level soul-nurturing elixirs he obtained from Young Master Haochuan and the others. He must improve his soul or else his soul would crush under pressure like a weak invalid.
Jun Mengchen came back after a day and a half. He was unlucky. He didn’t encounter any other young masters or young ladies. But Lu Li didn’t need more. Besides, his soul had stretched too thin. He could no longer take more soul slaves.
Another day passed!
Lu Li woke up. He had consumed 10 top-level soul-nurturing elixirs so he felt less weak in his soul now.
He gathered all soul slaves together. Pointing to Jun Mengchen, he said, “You, contact your family through the Print Stone and send my message—tell them you have all been taken into my control. Spread the word to Jun Family, Hao Family, Wu Family, Li Family, and the Ren Family from the Underworld Universe. Tell powerful warriors from your five families to come together and launch an attack to the entrance of the Forbidden Ground of Elder God to the north of the City of Leng. Kill all the powerful warriors of the Leng Family there. In half a month, that will be where I teleport to. If I couldn’t survive, then none of you could. If I could make it alive, you shall see freedom again.”
Jun Mengchen nodded. He took out Print Stone and poured Xuan Energy in. When the Print Stone glowed, Lu Li shouted, “On your knees, all of you!”
Nobody dared to disobey Lu Li. The more than 20 people knelt with grievance and shame on their faces.
Lu Li stood in front of them with pride. He wanted all their families to learn the plain fact—their life and death were in his control. His orders must be followed if they were to stay alive!
The Print Stone was glowing brighter and brighter. After a moment, Xuan Qi in heaven and earth gathered. An image emerged. In it was a garden and an old man in a graceful robe was standing in a pavilion.
“Mengchen, what is the matter?”
The old man’s question came out from the image. Soon, a glint of coldness rose in his eyes. Through the Print Stone, he could see Jun Mengchen kneeling on the ground. Near him were many other young masters and young ladies. A Noble Lord Realm young man stood in front of them proudly.
The old man in the graceful robe was Jun Mengchen’s grandfather, the current Family Patriarch of the Jun Family. He was an outstanding man. He could tell something was wrong with one look. He glared at Lu Li harshly but said no more words.
“Grandpa!”
Jun Mengchen smiled a bitter smile and continued with shame, “All of us have been turned into his soul slave, all of us kneeling here. He wants you to work with several super families and attack the entrance to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God to the north of City of Leng. He will be teleported there in half a month. Leng Family wants his life but he wants to stay alive….”
Jun Mengchen didn’t go into the details. He knew his grandpa could figure out the situation based on the few words given his wisdom. His grandpa would know how to make a decision.
“Who are you?”
The old man didn’t look at Jun Mengchen. He stared at Lu Li and posed the question.
Lu Li smiled casually. He cupped his fists and said, “I am Lu Li, a nobody. Family Patriarch Jun, I have no intention to challenge the authority of the Jun Family. But the Leng Family wants me dead and I don’t see another way out. I have to ask for a favor from the Jun Family, Hao Family, Wu Family, Li Family, and the Ren Family. I will not do anything ill-advised as long as my life can be protected!”
Lu Li said with politeness. He didn’t mean to make an enemy of the powerful warriors from those universes. He merely wanted to prolong his life. To antagonize the powerful warriors would be meaningless.
“I see. Don’t hurt my family or else… I think you know!”
The old man said after a moment of silence. With a wave of his hand, the image disappeared. At the same time, the Print Stone in Jun Mengchen’s hand exploded.
“That is going well!”
Lu Li nodded. Then, he turned to Young Master Haochuan and said with a smile, “It is your turn now, Haochuan. Contact your family.”
Young Master Haochuan took out his Print Stone and poured Xuan Energy in against his indignation and sorrow. After a while, a picture appeared in midair. A beautiful lady in a dress with a pattern of phoenix on it was sitting in a hall. Her eyes were sharp. She looked around the scene and then stopped at Lu Li.
The beautiful lady didn’t give Haochuan a second look. Even so, he had to say something. He looked at the lady and said with shame, “Mother, I am so sorry. I have been taken under control. Lu Li said… if the five families can cooperate and take down the City of Leng… Mother, Family Patriarch of the Jun Family has already agreed… Mother, help me!”
Haochuan told her the story. Seeing that the beautiful lady had no intention to speak, Lu Li forced a smile and said, “Madam Hao, I am Lu Li. No offense but…”
“Shut up!”
Before Lu Li could finish his words, he was interrupted by the beautiful lady’s cold voice, “If you have balls, kill Haochuan and all the others. You can run to the end of the world all you want, but I will still wipe out your entire family.”
With that said, the image was crushed in midair.
Lu Li was in the middle of his bow. He flew into a rage, staring at the broken picture in midair. Turning to a Hao Family young master next to Haochuan, Lu Li reached out to his head with Blood Claw.
“Buzzing!”
The young master’s Quasi Relic armor appeared automatically. However, Lu Li commanded, “Retract your Quasi Relic!”
That person was seized with horror. That being said, since Lu Li could control his soul directly through soul seed, the young master retracted the Quasi Relic armor. Lu Li grabbed his head with Blood Claw.
“Bang!”
The young master’s head crushed. Haochuan and the others were bleached from fright. Haochuan bowed and said hurriedly, “Lu Li, relax. My mother will save us. She is just acting in a strong way. She will come for us…”
“You’d better hope that is true!”
Lu Li out away the dead young master’s Quasi Relic armor and Interspatial Ring. The young master must have a jade talisman of life left in their family. By killing him, Lu Li was trying to warn the beautiful lady that he was not delivering empty threats. He really would do it.
Lu Li then looked at the future Family Patriarch of the Wu Family of the Mage Imperial Universe and said, “You are up!”
The Blood Claw was still dripping blood. To his surprise, Wu Xie, future Family Patriarch of the Wu Family of the Mage Imperial Universe, grinned and said, “Lord Lu, don’t worry. My family will not have a problem of ransacking the Leng Dynasty. Trust me!”
Wu Xie took out his Print Stone. In the picture showing in the air, there was a pond of blood in which a middle-aged man sat with his legs crossed. He seemed to be cultivating a certain kind of skill.
“Father!”
Instead of saying with resentment and sadness, Wu Xie spoke with excitement, “I have been taken down. Go and work with the other big families of the Mage Imperial Universe. Attack the Leng Dynasty together. Many other families are helping, the Jun Family, the Hao Family, Ren Family, and the Li Family. I will survive if the Leng Dynasty can be beaten!”
Seeing the passion in Wu Xie’s eyes, Lu Li said to himself that those from the Mage Imperial Universe were indeed nuts. Leng Wuxin’s expressions changed. If the four families of the Mage Imperial Universe were to cooperate, the Leng Dynasty would cease to exist in an instant.
“Lunatic, mad!”
Leng Wuxin was experiencing regrets. She shouldn’t have brought Lu Li up from the Inferno. She should have just killed him there.
Never had she expected that Lu Li, an insignificant Noble Lord Realm warrior, could turn the universes upside down…
