Chapter 784: Immense Dangers and Difficulties
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Five days went by fast. Tens of millions living in the Samsara City had been relocated, leaving less than five million warriors in the city. Those warriors were all above the Eternal Realm. Not a single one of them was even at the Fate Wheel Realm.
A curfew had been imposed in the city with nobody was allowed out or in. Many Noble Lord Realm warriors took the role of team leaders and patrolled around. Not even a fly would sneak past them.
In the middle of the city was a plaza with a radius of at least three miles. The plaza was now packed with warriors, millions of them. Over two hundred thousand among them were at the Noble Lord Realm. The number of Human Sovereign Realm was quite large was well.
The millions of warriors gathered around and stood in circles, one layer after another. In the center was a temporarily built elevated stand. On the stand erected 10 columns, each of which had a person chained onto it.
Lu Feixue, Bai Xiashuang, Ye Cha, Madam Yan, Bai Leng…
Altogether, 10 of them. They hadn’t gone through any torture or abuse but they must have been fed with some special potion because they were pale and vulnerable. They couldn’t even move their fingers, let alone mobilizing Xuan Energy.
The 10 of them were tied high onto the columns. They could not keep their eyes wide open but they could see the entire plaza, the crowds of warriors and many more hiding around the plaza.
This was a mountain of swords and a sea of flames!
The Samsara Palace now was a huge trap. It was easier to come in than to get out. No… there would be no way out.
Lu Feixue, Ye Cha and the others could not move nor use their psychic power. That being said, they could vaguely sense how many powerful warriors were lurking around the plaza. Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the four families should all be here now.
“Ling-er, Qiuxue, please, do not come here.”
Lu Feixue prayed to herself. If she could commit suicide, she would have done so already. The moment she was captured, she had foreseen this moment. She was guilty that others had suffered because of her.
…
On the second floor in a castle at the north of the plaza, many powerful warriors were gathered around. Lu Suan, Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan and Die Feiyu were here as well, standing behind warriors of their respective families.
Masters of Samsara Palace, Palace of Blossoms, Hades Society and Lu Zhengtan had all come. The four Family Patriarchs had come for the obvious reason. They wanted to slash Lu Li and all that were related to him so that the shame Lu Li brought about could be eliminated.
It was a declaration for every one of the Central Plains—authorities of the Royal Families should not be challenged. The only fate for the challengers was death!
Lu Zhengtan had come without the Great Patriarch of the Lu Family or Great Grandfather Five. Instead, the person with him was a man with similar appearances. Next to the man stood Lu Fenghuo, Lu Liantian and someone else.
This man was the Chief Patriarch of the Lu Family, Lu Tiandi. He had been in closed-door cultivation for many years. One year ago, he had made the final step and reached the Earth Immortal Realm. Lu Feixue was among the to-be-executed. She was actually Lu Zhengtan’s niece.
Therefore, Lu Zhengtan didn’t come with Great Grandfather Five. He brought along his three sons and some External Clan patriarchs who were loyal to him, fearing that the other patriarchs might mess up his plan…
Ji Ao’xian, the Master of Samsara Palace, didn’t seem to be advanced in ages. He looked like a middle-aged man with a grand air. The Master of the Pavilion of Blossoms was a silver-haired old lady. Her a benevolent and kind countenance made her look nothing like a master of a royal force. Yang Bucheng, the Master of Hades Society wore a black cloak, showing only half of his face. There was a constant red glow in his eyes that made them too scary for many young people to look at.
They sat on the second floor of the castle in silence. Through the windows, they could see what happened at the plaza clearly. They waited, quietly, for the final moment to draw in the net.
Time was passing by slowly but they were patient enough. They were convinced that those they were luring over would come. At the very least… Lu Ling would be here.
“Whoosh~”
After two hours, a man dashed in. Getting down on one knee, he reported to Ji Ao’xian, “Master, two Walking Puppets have shown up at the Ruins City. Casualties are great. Please help up.”
“Hmm!”
Ji Ao’xian snorted, “Trying to lure us away? Tell Patriarch Ten and Patriarch Sixteen to go over there and fight. I don’t expect them to kill the Walking Puppets. I only want them to stall for a day.”
Only few civilians could be found in nearby cities. As for low level warriors, the death of some of them was not to sweat over. Central Plains might lack in many things but people wasn’t one of them. For Ji Ao’xian, low level warriors were nothing different from livestock.
“Hmm!”
Yang Bucheng, Master of the Hades Society, laughed in a weird way but said nothing. The old lady of the Pavilion of Blossoms put on a light smile as well. The fact that nearby cities were not under attack meant that Lu Ling had come. They might be doing many things but their ultimate goal was to save Lu Feixue and Bai Xiashuang and all the others. The four forces merely had to lie in wait. Lu Ling and her team would come to knock on the door of death sooner or later.
Lu Zhengtian, on the other hand, sighed. Lu Ling was his grandniece. No matter how this fight might end, he would not be able to preserve his reputation.
In addition…
They were a bunch of old guys and they were aiming at a group of young people. Adding to that, they had to take hostages. This event in itself was humiliating enough.
“Report!”
An hour later, another piece of news came. One more city was under attack. Two more Walking Puppets appeared there.
Ji Ao’xian was not to be swayed by the information. On the contrary, he kept grinning. The more Walking Puppets Lu Ling used, the less cards she had in her hands. He believed that the number of Walking Puppets she had was very limited.
Ji Ao’xian had sent over merely two Human Sovereign Realm warriors and dispatched none of the Earth Immortal Realm warriors. It might pose some threats for two patriarchs to fight back two Walking Puppets with other regular warriors. But Ji Ao’xian was afraid to send more people.
An hour passed and he learned that another city nearby was struck by Walking Puppets. Around the Samsara City, there were four satellite cities, three of them had been hit.
Those of the four families had becoming more excited. They believed the moment the last satellite city was under attack was when Lu Ling going to arrive at the Samsara City.
Two Walking Puppets appeared outside the fourth satellite city. They dashed over, barged in through the walls, ripping and tearing, and killing anyone in sight…
The atmosphere in the Samsara City turned suffocating. The four satellite cities under attacking was a warning sign of Lu Ling striking the Samsara Palace. Soon, a battle would break out.
Time flashed by. It was now high noon. Nobody was showing up near the Samsara Palace. Millions of warriors in the city anxiously gazed till their eyes were strained.
In the afternoon!
To the south of the Samsara Palace, space trembled as a group of people emerged. A stunning young lady released one iron beast after another from her glowing Interspatial Ring.
One, five, 10…
The Interspatial Ring glowed 14 times as 14 Walking Puppets came out. They rushed toward the Samsara Palace. But space around the group of people shook again. Soon, they vanished on the spot.
“Boom!”
For today’s fight, the Samsara Palace had opened all their city gates. They didn’t even activate the shield just so that Lu Ling could come in. Therefore, the 14 Walking Puppets smashed through the city walls with no hindrance. They managed to break into the city at once.
“Eh?”
Ji Ao’xian and the others had been monitoring the city with psychic power. They soon found out the 14 Walking Puppets. They were surprised to see that Lu Ling had so many of them. She must have used dozens of Walking Puppets from the very beginning till now.
Many people turned to Ji Ao’xian who waved his hand and said, “Don’t sweat over it. It is Lu Ling’s hope that we will be thrown into confusion. I will send someone to ward off the 14 Walking Puppets.”
“Someone come here!”
Ji Ao’xian yelled, “Let Great Patriarch dispatch two people to fight back the Walking Puppets. They cannot be allowed to go into the plaza.”
Two Earth Immortal Realm warriors hiding near the plaza flew up at Ji Ao’xian’s order. The two of them flew to the south, leading seven to eight Human Sovereign Realm warriors.
