Chapter 622: The Deadly Rose

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

As soon as Ji Mengyao and the three young masters escaped, the 1000 Noble Lord Realm warriors descended into chaos. They were not actually warriors from the Serenity Plains. They were allocated here by forces of Central Plains off the record and they didn’t belong to the Hades Society or the Samsara Palace.

The formation was not constructed within a day or two. It would require the warriors to learn to cooperate. After all, if one among the 1000 stood the wrong position, the formation would fall apart.

To make today’s plan work, Ji Mengyao had taken great pains. She put in a lot of effort just to recruit the 1288 warriors. She couldn’t have used warriors from the Samsara Palace or the Hades Society or else the Demon-slaying Hall could hold the fact against her. She could only buy off some warriors secretly or use carrot or stick strategy on some warriors.

Killing Lu Li alone would not be the most difficult thing. The hard thing was not to involve the Samsara Palace or the Hades Society or leave any traces of evidence behind.

If they didn’t have such concerns, the Samsara Palace could send over any Earth Immortal Realm warrior to level the Northern Desert and the Clouds Plains. The seniors of the Samsara Palace and the Hades Society were not involved in this plan. They had told Ji Mengyao to take charge for a purpose. They could blame her when exposed, claiming that she was insensible and that she had acted on impulse without due consideration.

Therefore, when Ji Mengyao and the young masters ran, the 1000 warriors’ morale dropped. Some of them escaped as soon as possible. The others broke up instantly as well.

“Boom!”

Hu Lang generated phantoms of hands in anger and pounded the hundred Noble Lord Realm warriors that didn’t have time to run. The surviving more than 50 Noble Lord Realm warriors from the Silver Wolf Mountain were seized with desire for revenge. They didn’t go after the Noble Lord Realm warriors. Instead, they vented their anger in the Black Tortoise City.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom~”

Soon, the city was reduced to ruins. Many warriors were crushed and many innocent civilians were hurt as well. Castles were leveled and the Black Tortoise City had turned into hell.

“Spare the civilians!”

Lu Li couldn’t help but shout. Civilians were innocent. It was normal for two forces to put up a life-and-death struggle but the civilians had done nothing wrong.

The Noble Lord Realm warriors from Silver Wolf Mountain regained senses. Lu Li, by injuring Recluse Solar Dragon in one move, had established his absolute authority. They didn’t dare to disobey him.

“Run!”

Finally, warriors of the Black Tortoise City came to their senses. They ran toward all directions. Nobody dared to pause or stop.

“Charge!”

Hu Lang shouted in fury. He almost lost his entire army. If Lu Li had died, none in Hu Lang’s family could survive.

Hu Lang had harbored some anger. Like a fierce tiger springing down from the top of a mountain, Hu Lang resorted to his deadliest kills. He generated phantoms of hands and smashed at castles of the Black Tortoise Hall where their warriors were gathered.

“I will go after Ji Mengyao!”

Lu Li was upset as well. He didn’t want to kill those low level warriors as slaughter wouldn’t bring him delight. Being set up by the Ji Family for so many times, Lu Li had developed rage toward the Ji Family. He wished he could kill his way to the Ji Family and destroy it.

“I will go with you!”

Hu Lang was worried about Lu Li leaving alone so he left with Lu Li. Before Hu Lang went, he turned to the dozens Noble Lord Realm warriors and said, “Listen to State Councilor’s order. You can kill warriors but don’t hurt civilians. I will give you some time and then we will gather at the Dragons City in the central region.”

They almost were annihilated here. The Silver Wolf Mountain lost dozens of Noble Lord Realm warriors. Hu Lang wouldn’t let go of chance for revenge. He left the 50 peak Noble Lord Realm warriors behind to hunt down their enemies. As for how many warriors of the Black Tortoise Hall could escape, Hu Lang wouldn’t concern himself about that.

Hu Lang sped up, going after Lu Li, only to realize that Lu Li was even faster than him. Hu Lang pouted to himself. Lu Li indeed was a freak. When he reached the Human Sovereign Realm, how fast would he get?

While flying toward the south, they ran into many escaping warriors on route. Lu Li didn’t do anything but Hu Lang wasn’t merciful. He killed them all.

They were using their psychic powers at its best to try to find Ji Mengyao and the others. They hadn’t gone long. They only had a head start of the time for half an incense stick to burn. Theoretically speaking, they couldn’t have run far. At best, they were tens of thousands of miles away.

However, Lu Li and Hu Lang had already flown for dozens of thousands of miles but they hadn’t caught up with Ji Mengyao and the others yet. Lu Li was thinking. He stopped and looked at Hu Lang behind him. They both frowned.

Clearly, they had been chasing the wrong way. After Ji Mengyao ran away, she must have changed direction during the time. Otherwise, Lu Li and Hu Lang would have caught up with her. The best of Ji Mengyao and the three young masters was the later stage of the Noble Lord Realm. They couldn’t have been very fast.

If not the south, then there left only the east and the west. Central Plains was at the east, where Recluse Solar Dragon had run to. Therefore, Hu Lang thought about it and said, “Should we go toward the east?”

“No! The west!”

Lu Li shook his head and said, “Ji Mengyao is a clever girl. Normally speaking, people will think that they are going toward the east. But smart people usually don’t follow logic. So…we go to the west!”

“Alright~”

Hu Lang nodded. They were making guesses anyways. It would depend on their luck. The longer they wasted, the more difficult it was to find Ji Mengyao and the others. This was not the Clouds Plains, not Hu Lang’s territory.

Lu Li and Hu Lang dashed toward the west at the top speed. They flew parallel with 30 miles between them so it would be easier for them to search.

Ah hour later, Hu Lang shouted suddenly, “Stop there!”

“We got them?”

Lu Li was delighted. He rushed over to Hu Lang only to see that Hu Lang was chasing three people, all men.

“Hmm, hmm!”

Lu Li didn’t go after Hu Lang. He snorted and toured and scanned the surrounding areas with psychic power. After a while, he detected some fluctuation of inhibition formations in a ravine nearby. A mocking smile climbed to Lu Li’s mouth. He attacked at the ravine.

“Bang!”

With a glare from the Inhibition Formation in the ravine, the view changed drastically. A beautiful lady was standing in there with a look of panic. She looked at Lu Li and said, “Young Master Lu, why are you doing this? I am a young lady from the Ji Family. You will not benefit from killing me…”

“Ha, ha.”

Lu Li’s reply was a faint smile. Ji Mengyao was only at the later stage of the Noble Lord Realm. To kill her was nothing for him. Hu Lang would be back soon so Lu Li was not worried about Ji Mengyao having something up in her sleeve. Lu Li said, “True, I will not benefit from killing you but you almost killed me today. If I don’t get back at you, I will not be able to resolve my anger. What do you think I should do?”

Ji Mengyao’s fear seemed to grow. Her pitiful looks could melt any men’s heart. She hugged her arms in front of her chest, squeezing her prominent chests and said in a soft tone, “Young Master, please show mercy and forgive me, this one time, okay? I will agree to anything as long as you don’t kill me or ruin my body.”

“Ruin your body?”

Lu Li’s smile turned into a grin. If he were other men, he would have surrendered to his animal nature and had sex with Ji Mengyao.

He once was fooled by Ji Mengtian. He knew very well that the sisters had hearts as malicious as snakes and scorpions. She was doing this on purpose, the purpose being—let him rape her.

A beauty’s body could be a piece of terrifying murder weapon, one that could kill many heroes without them knowing. Lu Li believed that Ji Mengyao must have something planned. If he gave up to his animal instinct and raped her, he might die without knowing.

Maybe down there, she had poison and he could be killed unconsciously as soon as he touched her.
