Chapter 724: Jun Mengchen
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Someone had come either by chance or on purpose. Either way, it foreboded trouble.
Lu Li was fully awake now. After cultivating in the pit for four months, he had comprehended the wind-related Profound Meaning. He hadn’t mastered it yet, but it was only a matter of time.
What disappointed him was that—the Profound Meaning seemed to be a low level one. It was merely related to wind, enabling him to leverage the power of wind.
Lu Li knew some low-level Profound Meanings could borrow forces from heaven and earth, such as those related to fire, water, earth, and space. However, those Profound Meanings were not strong themselves.
The coming footsteps meant Lu Li couldn’t think too much right now. He walked to Leng Wushang and asked, “What is happening?”
“Shush~”
Leng Wushang made a hush gesture. He looked at the opening and listened carefully. The footsteps were getting heavier. There must be four or five people. As the sound approached, everyone in the pit became more nervous.
“A pit here!”
Suddenly, a person shouted from outside. Leng Wushang and the others were scared pale. The pit was discovered!
They had nowhere to run to. They could dig out tunnels, but they could never outrun Earth Immortal Realm warriors. All families would send Earth Immortal Realm warriors to protect their own disciples in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God.
Leng Wushang took a deep breath. He stood up. He was a special one here, being the future crown prince of the Leng Dynasty. Usually, people had to take his status into consideration. After all, Leng Family would retaliate should he be murdered.
He looked at Leng Buji and the rest. A silver Quasi Relic armor appeared over his body, and he had a sword ready in his hand. He said in a low voice, “Do as you see fit. I will go and deal with them first.”
Leng Wushang ran out on his own. Even Lu Li had to exclaim that the future crown prince really deserved the title. His courage was commendable. He did not shy away from danger. and that was the true color of a disciple from a distinguished household.
“Let’s go!”
Leng Wuxin and Leng Buji said without any hesitation. If they had to face a fight, there was nowhere they could run to. They might just as well face the danger together.
Lu Li and Leng Wumi followed them. The idea of running away did cross Lu Li’s mind, but he also needed more supplies of antidote. Given that running away would lead him to death just as much, he decided he had to face the fate with them.
There were six people outside, two Earth Immortal Realm warriors, three young masters, and one girl. Lu Li was relieved after he took a look. He knew none of them. They were not his enemies.
However, when Leng Wumi saw them, she became terrified. Lu Li threw her a questioning look and she explained in a low voice, “They are from the Jun Family of the Earth Imperial Universe, one of the two major families of that universe. Jun Mengchen and Brother Wushang shared mutual hatred. Last time, Brother Wushang broke Jun Mengchen’s leg…”
Then the situation was clear!
Xiao Wanjun and Tao Di must have exposed Leng Wuxin and Leng Wumi’s whereabouts. Jun Mengchen from the Earth Imperial Universe was here to get revenge.
Whichever the reason was, Lu Li knew today was not going to end well judging by the looks of the yellow-robed young master standing in the front.
Jun Mengchen glanced through Leng Wuxin, Leng Wumi, and Lu Li. He then took a look of the pit and asked with a grin, “Leng Wushang, where are your Earth Immortal Realm warriors? Ask them out and let them hang out with our uncles. The four of us can keep the five of you company.”
Leng Wushang stayed composed. He didn’t show any terror or weakness. He answered with a snort, “Our three uncles will come out when they want to. What? Jun Mengchen, is your leg healed? You think everything is good when the pain is forgotten? Gosh, what gave you the courage to come to us when you have such a weak force on your side?”
Leng Wushang started to bluff. When he said “three uncles”, Jun Mengchen was taken aback. The Leng Family sent in three Earth Immortal Realm warriors? Wasn’t it against the rules agreed upon by the universes? Each family could only send two Earth Immortal Realm warriors to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God.
“Ha? Are you scared?”
Leng Wushang continued to shout, “Tell you what. The two Earth Immortal Realm warriors from the Qi Family of the Central Imperial Universe are here as well and the two from the Feng Family are on their way. Jun Mengchen, you want to play? I will play with you today. If you want to snatch the treasure, then show me what you’ve got!”
“Eh?”
Leng Wushang’s words shocked Jun Mengchen and the others on his side. They would be asking for death to fight against so many Earth Immortal Realm warriors. Leng Wushang wouldn’t dare to kill him but he wasn’t so sure about the two Earth Immortal Realm warriors and the other three.
Leng Wushang walked over in an impressive manner. While doing so, he yelled, “Buji, let Uncle Wushuang now. Tell them to forget about the treasure for now and come out and hang out with the Jun Family.”
“Okay!”
Leng Buji ran back to the pit and shouted as he was told. Since it was a small pity, the echo was loud.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
From the north came some noises. Leng Wushang took a look and said with delight, “Good, Feng Family is here. Jun Mengchen, none of you can leave today. Charge!”
The sword in Leng Wushang’s hand started to glow as he dashed forward to Jun Mengchen and the others. Considering the fact that there were two Earth Immortal Realm warriors on his opposing side, Leng Wushang, a Human Sovereign Realm, was beyond bold.
“Let’s go!”
Jun Family were frightened. An Earth Immortal Realm warrior dragged Jun Mengchen away at once. The other Earth Immortal Realm warrior slapped at Leng Wushang. But he did so without using Profound Meaning and merely smashed Leng Wushang away.
“Nicely done!”
Lu Li admired Leng Wushang’s solution secretly. The young man reached the Human Sovereign Realm at the age of 16 and was unofficially named the future crown prince. He was impressive indeed. A few sentences from him had scared away the Jun Family people.
“Let’s leave!”
Blood was seeping out from his mouth and he rolled around on the ground because of the impact from the blow. He stood up quickly and yelled. Leng Buji dashed out from the pit. Everyone took out their Bead of Life to fly close to the ground and rushed downstream like crazy.
Jun Family people were not idiots. They would come around sooner or later.
The fact that no Earth Immortal Realm warrior was with Leng Wushang was a giveaway. Leng Wushang was too distinguished to go around without Earth Immortal Realm warriors from the Leng Family. If Leng Wushang was dead, then no amount of Quasi Relics collected could make up the loss.
Therefore, Leng Wushang and the others were flying to escape on their Beads of Life at the top speed. Nobody was concerned about triggering Inhibition Formations now. They were going to fly away as quickly as they could before the Jun Family figured out the fact.
Jun Mengchen wasn’t worried that the Leng Family would murder him. Similarly, Leng Wushang didn’t think the Jun Family would kill him, eiwther. That being said, things would be different for Leng Wuxin, Leng Wumi, Leng Buji and Lu Li. Big families had mutual agreements in their relationships. The successor and most outstanding disciples could not be murdered but the families wouldn’t engage in massive fights should the lesser disciples were murdered.
For example, if Leng Wuxin and Leng Wumi were raped or killed by the Jun Family, Leng Family would only seek revenge when chances permitted. However, if Leng Wushang was murdered, the Leng Family would send out armies and powerful warriors and kill their way to the Jun Family at the Earth Imperial Universe to avenge for Leng Wushang.
This was the line between families!
Leng Wushang didn’t think he would be murdered, but he was afraid of being humiliated. Last time in the Prison of Gold, he had humiliated Jun Mengchen. Not only did Leng Wushang break Jun Mengchen’s leg, the former tortured the latter for hours, making the latter ask for death…
“Eh?”
Leng Wushang was flying as fast as he could. His speed reached the later stage of the Human Sovereign Realm. He was afraid that Leng Wumi couldn’t keep up but relieved to see that Leng Wuxin was helping Leng Wumi. He then threw another look and found Lu Li was able to keep up with them, which was surprising.
Lu Li, a warrior at the initial stage of the Noble Lord Realm, was able to keep up with them? Was it because of another skill he learned from Blood Emperor?
