Chapter 528: Making Trouble?
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Not many were staying in the base camp, only two or three thousand warriors. The rest had gone out to hunt for alien races.
Because of Lu Li, most alien races were hiding in their own base camps. Humans had gained the upper hand and they would not let such a good opportunity to go. They had not come here to have fun, but to gain points and experiences.
That being said, there were still warriors from families affiliated with the four forces in the base camp. When Lu Li came back, those warriors were alarmed and they gathered up soon.
“What?”
Lu Li took Jiang Qiling’s hand, glanced to the more than 100 warriors coldly and said, “Are you trying to make trouble?”
Not many of the warriors were from the Ji Family, Yang Family, Lu Family and the Die Family. There were only a couple of them who were from collateral branches of the families. The rest of the group were from affiliated families.
Lu Li’s reputation was too well known. Under his glance, not so many dared to look directly into his eyes. They looked at each other, all waiting for others to make the first move.
Eventually, a warrior from the Ji Family’s collateral branch worked up the courage and said, “Young Master Lu, where is our Young Lady?”
“Your young lady has legs and she can walk on her own. How can I know where she is?”
Lu Li answered indifferently and added another lie, “I heard a rumor a dozen days ago. I heard that your lady has gone to the base camp of the Asmodians and she never came back. I think she is married to their prince now.”
“Bullsh*t…”
The Ji Family warrior was about to swear when he saw the killing intent flashing through Lu Li’s eyes. The warrior shut up at once. He thought about it and said, “Young Master Lu, our Lady, Young Master Suan, Young Master Xuan and Young Lady Feiyu have gone missing for more than a dozen days. If…it is you that have taken them, please let them go. Nobody can benefit from it when it spins out of control!”
Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan, Lu Ni and Die Feiyu were missing for more than 10 days. Warriors were sent to find them but no one succeeded. Also, Ye Luo said that Lu Li had taken the five so everyone bought it.
“Buzzing!”
Lu Li sent out some golden needles of psychic power, enveloping this particular warrior and someone else nearby. He mobilized Xuan Energy and kicked at the Ji Family warrior forcefully, knocking him and the two men behind him over together. After that, Lu Li glared at the rest coldly and said, “Get lost. If you dare to keep on pestering us, I will break all your legs. Go and look for your young masters and young ladies on your own. I am not your father. Not my f*cking business!”
Everyone felt angry. But that warrior of the Ji Family was at the later stage of Noble Lord Realm but he was defeated by Lu Li in one move. Who else dared to invite humiliation?
Lu Li’s demonstration of power shocked the others. At the same time, they were more convinced that he was the one who took Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan and the others.
“Ha, ha!”
Jiang Qiling was one eager to stir up more trouble. A smile climbed up to her pale face. Thinking of the suffering enjoyed by Ji Mengtian in the Ding of Barbarian God, Jiang Qiling felt extremely pleased. She glared at the warriors around them and said, “Lu Li, don’t waste time here. If they don’t get out of the way, break their legs.”
Ye Luo and Lu Hongyu stood behind Jiang Qiling and Lu Li. The former two looked at each other with a bitter smile. Ye Luo had some understanding of Lu Li’s character and knew that the warriors would enrage Lu Li. He waved his hand and said, “Okay, off you go.”
Considering that Ye Luo’s enjoyed more authority than Lu Li, the warriors had no other choice but to leave.
Lu Li led Jiang Qiling to their tents, swaggering. Jiang Hu tried to search for the man encircling them the other day but he didn’t find any. The 20 warriors that fled that day still didn’t have the courage to come back to the base camp.
There was still a month before the teleportation portal back in the Demon-slaying City would open. Lu Li was idling about. He had killed more than enough alien races and there weren’t many of them left outside now. He wouldn’t get more points unless he went to the base camps.
But he was not that encouraged to think he could fight his way to the base camps. There were Inhibition Formations in the four base camps. Warriors of other races would be weakened. Lu Li didn’t want to seek his own doom.
Lu Li spent his time with Jiang Qiling every day to make up for what he owed her. Ye Luo didn’t leave the base camp, either. He stayed around Lu Hongyu’s tent all the time. But Lu Hongyu’s attitude toward him was varied, which was frustrating to him.
Several days later, Lu Lin came back. More warriors from the four forces returned as well after they heard Lu Li come back. But they dared not to go to Lu Li themselves. They had to beg Ye Luo, Lu Lin and Lu Hongyu to talk Lu Li into releasing Ji Mengtian and the rest.
“Set them free?”
Lu Li frowned at Lu Lin’s words and said, “Lu Lin, are you stupid or what? If I set them free now, I will be inviting trouble myself. Do you think Yang Xuan, Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan will bury the hatchet? Are you going to protect me if they showed up with a bunch of guys to kill me? Let’s say you can protect me. When they leave the Demon-slaying City and get powerful warriors from many families to kill me or to imprison me, can I go to get my justice? These people are now my amulet. I will not let them go until I am certain of my safety.”
Lu Lin was here because he was persuaded by many Lu Family disciples from collateral branches. He was afraid that this would be out of control as well so he had come to convince Lu Li. Lu Li’s explanation got Lu Lin thinking. He felt in a conundrum.
It would be uncontrollable if Lu Li didn’t let them free. The four forces would not let Lu Li live as soon as he was out of the Demon-slaying City. But if Lu Li let them go now, Ji Mengtian, Lu Suan and the rest would seek revenge. By that time, the trouble would be even bigger. It was such an awkward situation.
Jiang Qiling’s arched eyebrows were knitted together as she looked at Lu Li with worry. He smiled gently, held her hand and said, “Don’t worry. They are in my hands now. I have the leverage to negotiate. As long as my great grandpa is unbiased, I don’t think it will be very bad. What is more…as the future chosen warrior, you are on my side. I believe the Demon-slaying Hall will consider your feelings.”
Jiang Qiling was convinced and her frown was gone. She decided only to think about it when it really came to the point.
Lu Li found that many warriors were waiting outside for his response. He waved his hand agitatedly and said, “Lu Lin, tell those jerks to get lost. I will break their legs if they anger me. Also, tell Ye Luo to come here.”
Lu Lin walked out. After a bit, Ye Luo walked in with Lu Hongyu. Lu Li came directly to the point, “I wanted to stay at the base camp and enjoy some ease days but those guys out there are irritating. How about we…go and get some more points?”
“There aren’t too many alien races out there.”
Ye Luo raised his eyebrows and his eyes sparkled as he asked, “You want to attack the base camps of the four races?”
“I am not that confident yet!”
Lu Li shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “But we can get a group of people and wait for them outside of their base camps. We will get one in to provoke them and lure a bunch of them out for us to kill.”
“Eh?”
Ye Luo was stunned. He looked at Lu Hongyu and Lu Lin. The three of them believed this was a good idea. More importantly, Lu Li would be there with them. Even if there was an army of alien races, they could defeat them easily. This endeavor wouldn’t be too dangerous.
“Sure. We still have more than 20 days before the teleportation portal is activated. We can go and kill a bunch of them now. Let’s go to the base camp of the Barbarian Race, the nearest one to us. If we can lure their prince out and kill that guy, it will be perfect.”
Ye Luo was a man of speedily actions. He went with Lu Hongyu to gather up a group of warriors right away. He enjoyed a prestige. Lu Li was the leader. Many warriors from smaller families would be more than happy to go with them go get points.
There were more than two or three thousands of them in the base camp now. Many of them were from minor families not related to the four forces. Ye Luo managed to gather an army of 1000 in just two hours.
This time, Lu Li dared not to leave Jiang Qiling in the base camp alone anymore. He brought her along. Together with the 1000 warriors, they marched toward the base camp of the Asmodians in formidable array.
