Chapter 894: Moribund
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Demon-slaying City had been in a gloomy atmosphere lately. Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s face was always overcast with sadness. In the city, everyone behaved for fear of being punished after enraging Patriarch of Law Enforcement.
It had been several months since Lu Li left for the Eastern Land of Oceans. All the entrances to the Eastern Land of Oceans were sealed off all of a sudden. The Demon-slaying City was cut off from all information.
More importantly, not long ago, two patriarch’s jade talismans of life were broken, which made every patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall worry.
Lu Li had a Wicked Bead that not even the Asmodian Lord could break. Ji Zhantian could not break the Wicked Bead, either. Then why had two patriarchs passed away? Was Lu Li in great trouble?
Patriarch of Law Enforcement and the others’ worry became more profound when they recalled that they heard the Asmodian Lord was summoning some powerful being. Lately, they had been on pins and needles.
“Patriarch…”
All of a sudden, they heard someone yelling, which startled those in the Hall of Patriarchs. Patriarch of Law Enforcement stood up and went out at once, followed by the other patriarchs.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement just checked with psychic power. It was a scout that had been stationed at an entrance to the Eastern Land of Oceans. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was delighted to see him and asked instantly, “Is it about Grand Master?”
The scout dropped to one knee and said, “We have some updates. Grand Master is coming back. But… Grand Master seems to have passed out and he is carried back by Patriarch Lei. Also… Grand Master’s hair has turned white.”
“What!”
Everyone was taken by shocked. How could someone as powerful as Lu Li passed out? He was carried back by Patriarch Lei? Was everything alright? Lu Li’s hair was white? Was he wounded seriously?
“Patriarch!”
While they were still wondering, another scout came from the distance. He knelt and reported, “Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Patriarch Lei has sent back a message to me. He says we must find the best healers and the best medicines. Grand Master is mauled heavily and needs medical attention.”
“Quickly, hurry up!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement could not keep calm. He shouted, “Go to the Great Land and invite all healers here, anyone that knows how to practice medicine. Also, gather healing medicines from all families and all from the Demon-slaying Hall’s inventory.”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement had always been prudent. This time, though, he was alarmed. It was proof that Lu Li was important to him.
Lu Li was not only the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying City but the backbone of humans, a guardian. Should anything happen to Lu Li, the Demon-slaying City would fall and so would the human race.
“You stay here in the city. I will go with Patriarch Hu to come to Grand Master’s aid. Get some herbs ready for me!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement paced up and down outside the Hall of Patriarchs. Soon, he made up his mind. Patriarch Lei was fast. Still, it would take him a day or two to arrive. Worried that something might happen to Lu Li, Patriarch of Law Enforcement decided to go to him so that Lu Li could be treated as early as possible.
Patriarch Hu was one of the patriarchs that understood medicine. Under Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s order, everyone sprang to work. Their warehouse was opened, and many elixirs were picked out. They were put into Interspatial Rings for Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Patriarch Hu.
“Patriarch–”
Before Patriarch of Law Enforcement set off came another scout who reported, “Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Patriarch Lei says that the Asmodian Lord is killed, and the Dragon Demon has surrendered. None of the Eastern Land of Oceans can compete with us. He asked several patriarchs to guard the entrances and asks you to mobilize an army to conquer the Eastern Land of Oceans.”
“What!”
The report was met with a chorus of reaction. Things had changed too quickly. Just now, they were informed that Lu Li was badly wounded and was about to pass away. But now they were told that the Asmodian Lord was killed, and they could conquer the Eastern Land of Oceans?
“Can it be that despite his injury, our Grand Master killed the Asmodian Lord and that monstrous being?”
A patriarch proposed a hypothesis which was agreed upon. Everyone felt excited. Patriarch of Law Enforcement thought for a while and then instructed, “Patriarch Huang, go to the entrance of the Eastern Land of Oceans with 30 patriarchs. Occupy a piece of land first. We will get an army there to conquer the Eastern Land of Oceans after we know the full picture.”
“Okay!”
They all agreed that this was a safer method. The rest of the patriarchs would stay in the Demon-slaying City to protect it.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement gives distinct orders. Then, he flew away with a group of patriarchs. Over 30 patriarchs left as fast as they could.
In a bit over a day, they met with Patriarch Lei. He and three other patriarchs came back with Lu Li, leaving the other five guard the entrances to the Eastern Land of Oceans, for fear that the Asmodians would destroy all the openings.
“Grand Master!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement could see Patriarch Lei carrying Lu Li from the distance. Everyone cried out involuntarily. Lu Li was unconscious, barely hanging onto life.
To make it more appalling, Lu Li’s black hair had turned white and his skin was wrinkled, like an old man. He had lost weight. Looking from afar, he appeared to be a man dying of old age.
If it were not for his bones and spirit, they would not believe that this skinny old man was Lu Li.
Lu Li was in his twenties and he had already reached the Human Sovereign Realm. He could enjoy three thousand years of life. For that life span, twenty years was his childhood. He should be at a sun-rising age. However, he appeared to be aged than all the others…
They all felt sorry to see Lu Li in this thin, old man state as if he had gained a hundred years of age.
Lu Li only became this for the sake of humans. Humans, with a population of billions, needed to be protected by a young man. This group of patriarchs felt mortified. Lu Li had sacrificed too much…
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
They flew over and put Lu Li in the center. Patriarch of Law Enforcement said at once, “Patriarch Hu, save Grand Master!”
Patriarch Lei put Lu Li on the ground, took out a green pellet and fed it to Lu Li. Then, the former began to check Lu Li carefully.
“Squeak, squeak~”
Little White came back as well. It had recovered well but it had blood all over its body. Little White stood next to Lu Li, worried and kept howling at Patriarch Hu.
Patriarch Hu did not pay much attention to Little White. After the time for one incense stick to burn, Patriarch Hu finally looked up and said, “Grand Master has consumed too much source of life. He has not sustained a great injury, though. That being said, the source of life is the most difficult to treat. He can hardly recover relying on regular elixirs. If delayed, things might happen…”
“Alright!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was relieved to hear that Lu Li was not in fatal danger. The Great Land had abundant elixirs. What was more, they could find some in the Inferno. Nursed well and Lu Li could recover.
Then, he asked Patriarch Lei another question, “How is it at the Eastern Land of Oceans?”
“It has been stabilized!”
Patriarch Lei answered with certainty, “I asked five patriarchs to guard the entrances. The Asmodians have few Earth Immortal Realm warriors now. Grand Master killed their Asmodian Lord and the Dragon Demon surrendered. The Asmodians’ Originator Artifact was ruined. The Asmodians no longer have the ability to fight us.”
“Okay!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s eyes glowed brightly. He shouted at once, “Patriarch Huang, go to the Eastern Land of Oceans at once. Do not invade the Eastern Land of Oceans impulsively. Protect the entrances first.”
“Whoosh, whoosh~”
Patriarch Huang and 30 other patriarchs left. Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not go with them. For him, conquering the Eastern Land of Oceans came second to Lu Li’s safety.
The Asmodian Lord had died in Lu Li’s hands. When Lu Li recovered, who of the Heaven Reverse Universe could compete with him?
