Chapter 421: A Dangerous Situation
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The Sanctuary was not a strand of force, but an organization similar to a chamber of commerce, like the Heaven Punishing Auction House of the Du Family.
The connection behind the Sanctuary was of course one of the 12 Royal Families, the most powerful acknowledged by all others for more than 10,000 years, the Samsara Palace!
The Sanctuary would do any kinds of business and anything that had a price. As long as there was Xuan Crystals, the Sanctuary could even help the hirer to destroy a seventh-rank family. Even killing a Human Sovereign Realm warrior was not a difficult matter for the Sanctuary…
“The Samsara Palace?”
Lu Li felt a bit uneasy as the Samsara Palace once participated in the action against Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race. What if the Samsara Palace traced back to the Northern Desert? Would they find out about Ye Cha?
No. 1 of the 12 Royal Families, a force that could send a seventh-rank family to destruction easily!
Lu Li could not imagine how powerful the Samsara Palace was. He asked after some thoughts, “Will they find out that we are behind this if we post a bounty hunting mission there?”
“No!”
Ming Yu was sure of this. He explained, “The Sanctuary pays much attention to their reputation and there has never been an issue with their credibility as the No. 1 chamber of commerce in the world. Also… we post the bounty hunting there, but it is not the Sanctuary that accomplishes the mission. They will make it public. Anyone that knows about this will accept the task. It’s not the Sanctuary that helps us.”
“Oh, I see.”
Lu Li was relieved and said, “Then go ahead. Give them a portrait of my sister. Tell them that this person is taken away by a powerful warrior that understand Holy Light Profound Meaning. Anyone that can find my sister or this warrior is going to be rewarded.”
“Okay!”
Ming Yu carried the order to his heart. He had a portrait of Lu Ling. He could go to the Sanctuary with some Xuan Crystals and let them post the mission.
Lu Li sighed, feeling awful. He had thought that the Pavilion of Delicacy could help him find Lu Ling easily, but he was met with such a grave piece of news.
He pulled himself together after a moment and asked, “Any other news? Bad news?”
“Yes!”
Ming Yu was not as tactful as Yu Huashen. Ming Yu answered honestly with a nod, “Jiang Hong told me that the Song Family has been ended.”
“Song Family? The one of the Palace of Heaven’s Roars?”
Lu Li asked. He was more confused when Ming Yu nodded yes and asked, “Song Family is our enemy. I think it’s a good thing. I don’t understand why you are unhappy.”
“Sigh…”
Ming Yu shook his head, sighed, and said, “Song Family is finished in the hands of the Palace of Blue Lions, but someone has escaped. The Family Patriarch and three patriarchs of the peak of the Noble Lord Realm fled. Jiang Hong said that… the Pavilion of Delicacy found traces of the four at the northern Central Plains. Upon realizing they were exposed, they went into hiding…”
“What?”
Lu Li looked awful. His mind was weighed down by anxiety. When he was in the Mountains City, he and Mo Ye killed several Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Song Family and thusly offended the Song Family completely.
Back at the Lu Family, Patriarch Eight stated that he would help Lu Li to seek justice. Later, Lu Li never paid more attention to it. He didn’t expect that the Palace of Blue Lions really sent over an army to finish the Song Family.
But how could they let the Family Patriarch go? Lu Li even wanted to curse the Palace of Blue Lions. Song Family Patriarch was a Human Sovereign Realm warrior after all.
Song Family was at the northeastern Central Plains. Why did they come to the northern Central Plains?
Clearly, they were coming after Lu Li. The Family Patriarch of the Song Family could not vent his anger on the Lu Family, so he was going after Lu Li!
Song Family Patriarch must know that Lu Li was exiled from the Lu Family and the fact that Lu Li had come back to the Northern Desert. So the Song Family Patriarch tried to seek revenge by coming to the Northern Desert to murder Lu Li.
“No—”
Lu Li felt there was something else. Was there any plot in this? Did Lu Fenghuo, or Lu Suan and Lu Ni do this?
Otherwise, how could the Palace of Blue Lions, a seventh-rank force, under the support of Lu Family, let the Family Patriarch of the Song Family run away?
If the Palace of the Blue Lions were this useless, they wouldn’t be qualified as a seventh-rank force.
Also, the matter of his and Lu Feixue’s exiling was kept within the Lu Family. Only the other 11 Royal Families had the right to learn about this.
Where did the Song Family Patriarch get the news after the Song Family ended? How did he know that Lu Li had come to the Northern Desert?
Lu Li smelled a conspiracy.
Lu Zhengtan shouldn’t be behind this or he wouldn’t even let Lu Li go back to the Northern Desert. So, it was highly likely to be plotted by Lu Fenghuo or Lu Suan…
“So troublesome!”
The more Lu Li thought about it, the more troubled he felt. He could deal with the three patriarchs of the Noble Lord Realm, but there was a Human Sovereign Realm warrior!
The gap between different realms was huge. Human Sovereign Realm warriors’ Force Field, once activated, could ensure that they were unmatched within it no matter how many Noble Lord Realm warriors were there to fight.
There was a Teleportation Formation connecting the Central Plains and the Northern Desert. Lu Li could take control of the Teleportation Formation and he could even seal off the Teleportation Formation at the Ling Empress City.
But the Song Family people could go by the sea. They wouldn’t take Teleportation Formations. The sea was vast and endless. Lu Li could ask Jiang Qiling to close off the border at the north to stop anyone from entering the Northern Desert. That being said, the pavilion wouldn’t be able to stop any Human Sovereign Realm warrior if he tried to sneak into the Northern Desert.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he was.
He had worked so hard to build up the current situation. With the arrival of the Song Family people, everything would be gone. He could only yield to fate, without being able to resist.
“What to do?”
Lu Li forced himself to calm down to think of a way out.
Soon, he straightened out his thoughts. What he should do now was to find those from the Song Family. Once he located them, he could ask Jiang Qiling to mobilize two patriarchs from the Pavilion of Delicacy to kill them.
The Song Family Patriarch could not be allowed into the Northern Desert. Not only would Lu Li’s life be at risk, everyone that was related to him would be in danger.
“Let’s go!”
Lu Li could not sit still. He said, “Let’s go to the Ling Empress City and then we go to the Central Plains. I need to see Jiang Qiling.”
He didn’t want to owe Jiang Qiling too much but he was about to be forced into a dead end. Without Jiang Qiling’s help, Bai Qiuxue, Ming Yu and all the others would be killed.
Ye Cha would do anything Lu Li said. Patriarchs of the Cyan Phoenix Race would hide from the public which was required by Lu Li. Ye Cha understood that the more they came forward, the more dangerous it would be for them and for the Mammoth Race.
The Iron-armored Ship flew towards the Heaven Prison City. There, Lu Li asked someone from the Bai Family and learned that Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were not there. They went to the Ling Empress City.
Du Zheng sent someone over to invite Lu Li for drinks. The matter at hand was too urgent to put Lu Li in a good mood for drinks. He sent back a message saying that he would soon come back and apologize. He then hurried to the Ling Empress City.
“Greetings, Emperor!”
Once arrived, Lu Li was received by many people on their knees. Lu Li asked them to rise and went to his imperial palace.
Lu Li found Madam Yan. Without further ado, he said directly to her to send someone to patrol along the coast and report back to him as soon as some unfamiliar powerful warrior appeared.
“Unfamiliar?”
Madam Yan frowned, looking how anxious Lu Li was and asked with caution, “Someone from the Central Plains? Enemies?”
“Yes!”
Lu Li didn’t try to hide it. He nodded and said, “Once you find signs of any unfamiliar powerful warrior, go and hide in the small world. I will go the Pavilion of Delicacy and ask them to help us.”
“Okay!”
Madam Yan nodded. Lu Li left with Ming Yu in a hurry and teleported to the Clouds City. Madam Yan appeared to be in worry, looking at Lu Li as he went. Was this a Human Sovereign Realm warrior that made Lu Li so nervous?
The Northern Desert had just been unified. If a Human Sovereign Realm came to them, the Empire of Godly Prowess would immediately collapse…
