Chapter 150: Enemies of the Cyan Phoenix Race
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Li remained seated for the entire afternoon, but even at dusk, he still couldn’t figure it out.
A maid came to report that Ye Cha had prepared a banquet for them. Later, he would come to extend an invitation to Lu Li in person.
Lu Li shook his head and placed all the ideas in head at the back of his mind. He decided not to think about it. Anyhow, the situation was in his favor now. His life was not threatened, and instead, he gained so many entourages.
What was the truth? It didn’t matter! At least, publicly, Lu Li was the Saint Lord of the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race. Being the master was better than being eaten.
Any plots or schemes must be to gain some benefits. What could the Cyan Phoenix Race get from him? He couldn’t even fight Ye Xiaoxi with his power, so he was practically meaningless to the Cyan Phoenix Race.
Taking things as they came.
Lu Li was positive, and he put the matter to the side. Since he could be a master, why would he say no? Hunchback Tian didn’t waste time thinking about it either. He was envious. Anyways, this was a good thing. They transformed from prisoners to honorable guests.
After a while, Ye Cha and the four patriarchs of the Cyan Phoenix Race came to invite Lu Li and Hunchback Tian. They were respectful and humble, looking very much like servants.
Lu Li dared not to assume the airs of a master. He modestly followed Ye Cha to a great hall. Inside, a huge square table was ready. On the square table was all kinds of delicious food, and there were even beautiful maids were waiting beside the table.
Ye Cha asked Lu Li to sit in the seat of honor, then he picked up an earthen jar to propose a toast. Lu Li took a sip and found the wine here was strong. It burned his throat.
“Saint Lord, have a taste of our food. The small world is not big, and we don’t have too many delicious food here. Please just eat something as you like.”
Ye Cha pointed to the table of delicious food and spoke with a smile. Lu Li reached out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat. He suddenly remembered that Ye Xiaoxi said she wanted to eat human flesh. Lu Li’s hand trembled and asked, “Clan Leader Ye, this meat… it’s not human flesh, right?”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Ye Cha and the four patriarchs laughed. Ye Cha explained with a smile, “Saint Lord, Xiaoxi was messing with you. We the Cyan Phoenix Race have no habit of eating human flesh. Xiaoxi was just using it to threaten people. The girl is naughty. Please don’t laugh at us.”
“Oh, oh.”
Lu Li was relieved. He took a bit of the meat. It melted in his mouth, and a strand of warmth filled his stomach and intestines. He felt very comfortable. He asked with surprise, “Clan Leader Ye, what is this meat? I think it is really nourishing.”
Ye Cha casually explained, “This is the meat of the Fourth-rank Xuan Beast Heaven Phoenix. Two days ago, it came and invaded our clan. Brother Four killed it with one swing of his saber. The meat of the Heaven Phoenix can nourish one’s qi and blood, and make one’s constitution stronger. Saint Lord, please have some more.”
“…”
Lu Li and Hunchback Tian looked at each other. Their mouths twitched. Killing a Fourth-rank Xuan Beast with one move meant that Patriarch Four of the Cyan Phoenix Race had reached the Eternal Realm.
Lu Li thought of something and asked because he could no longer hold back his curiosity, “Clan Leader Ye, I have a question and I don’t know if I should ask it?”
“We have no secret for our Saint Lord!” Ye Cha said with sincerity, “We will not withhold any information if Saint Lord want to ask something.”
Lu Li nodded and asked, “Which Realms… are you five at?”
Ye Cha directly answered without even thinking, “We are all at the peak of the Eternal Realm. Too bad, we lack a few Mystical Materials in this small world, otherwise, we would have casted Fate Bead and try to reach the Noble Lord Realm.”
“Noble Lord Realm!”
Lu Li and Hunchback Tian were shocked. Noble Lord Realm warriors were the most powerful standing at the peak of the Northern Desert. There were no Human Sovereign Realm warriors, so Noble Lord Realm warriors were the supreme. Right here, there were actually five powerful warriors that could break to the Noble Lord Realm at any time.
“How about the Mammoth Race? What is the situation like over there?”
Hunchback Tian asked with curiosity. Lu Li asked a follow-up question, “The Mammoth Race are not living with you?”
“They live in the mountains in the west, only about three miles from here.”
Ye Cha said while pointing to the west. He considered it and explained, “The Clan Leader of the Mammoth Race and three of their Patriarchs also reached the peak of the Eternal Realm. They also are in want of several Mystical Materials so they can build Fate Bead and make the breakthrough.”
“Three?”
Hunchback Tian exclaimed. There were nine at the peak of the Eternal Realm in the two races. If they left the small world and went to the Northern Desert, they could wipe out many Families and forces. Once they all made the breakthrough, they could fight against Fifth-rank Royal Families.
Lu Li digested the information and took several bits of the meat. Then he asked the most important question, “Clan Leader Ye, can we leave the small world of yours? We entered from the Thousand-island Lake at the Northern Desert. Can we return to the Thousand-island Lake?”
Ye Cha nodded and said, “Since you can come in, you can leave. You triggered the Teleportation Inhibition Formation. There must be a Teleportation Inhibition Formation where you landed. Later, I will send someone to find it. Please be rest assured Saint Lord, you can leave whenever you want.”
“Um.”
Lu Li and Hunchback Tian were relieved. The heavy burden in their hearts were lifted. They enjoyed the fine food and wine, and after Lu Li and the other Patriarchs toasted, he thought of something Ye Cha just mentioned. He asked with doubt, “Send someone to find the Teleportation Inhibition Formation? Clan Leader Ye, you have never left this place for 5000 years?”
“No!”
Ye Cha’s eyes showed signs of bitterness as he said, “Our ancestor left us teachings. We cannot leave unless the Saint Lord presented himself. Also… the Teleportation Inhibition Formation was built by our ancestor. We cannot leave the place unless we reach the Noble Lord Realm. Unfortunately, we lack a few Mystical Materials in here. As such, for thousands of years, none of the disciples of us two races ever left this place.”
“Of course, we don’t have the courage to go out even if we reach the Noble Lord Realm!”
Ye Cha paused, his expression turning even more solemn. He sighed. “The enemies of our races are too powerful. Once the people of our races go outside and the information is learned by our enemies, our two races will be wiped out at once.”
Lu Li frowned. He asked with confusion, “Clan Leader Ye, since you never left the place, how do you know that your enemies are still here? What if they were destroyed? What if their power declined?”
“Destroyed? No way…”
Ye Cha shook his head and bitterly smiled. “Saint Lord, you have no idea how powerful our enemies are. They are at the top of the Central Plains, and they are the most powerful Family in the world. It has just been several thousand years, so how can such a powerful family be destroyed? Also… the enemies of our two races are not from one family, but six, six out of the ten most powerful Families of the Central Plains.”
“…”
Lu Li touched his nose in embarrassment. Central Plains was said to be the vastest land of the world, dozens of times larger than the Northern Desert. Warriors of the Central Plains were the most powerful, and any one family could sweep over the entire Northern Desert.
The enemies of the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race were six out of the 10 most powerful families of the Central Plains? Lu Li, as their Saint Lord, needed to lead them back to their ancestral place and restore their glory?
In other words—
Lu Li needed to help the two races to fight against the six most powerful Families of the Central Plains?
On thinking of this, Lu Li eyebrows were knitted, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He could not even go to the Central Plains now, let alone fight against the six families. Any warrior of the six families could smack him to death, right?
Ye Cha looked at Lu Li. He seemed to have guessed what Lu Li was thinking. He smiled lightly and said, “Don’t feel too stressed, Saint Lord. You are still young. We have enough patience to wait for you to rise up. Since you are the one decided by our ancestor using the Heaven Augury Spell, you will have a promising future. We will… do our best to help you.”
