Chapter 674: Humiliation

“Admitting defeat?”

Yang Xuan, Lu Ni, and Ji Mengyao were frustrated. They had been harboring some anger and wished they could cut Lu Li into pieces.

They eagerly longed for the news of Lu Li’s death and they hadn’t been able to get a good night’s sleep. Little did they expect of such an outcome.

Everyone present here were favored and loved in their families. They were born with a golden spoon in their mouths. Not once had they been mistreated, let alone suffered.

Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan, Lu Suan, Lu Ni and Die Feiyu were kept by Lu Li for months, during which time they endured strikes of thunderbolts. They had seen death and they had come back, again and again. It was more painful than in hell.

Finally, they were saved after several months and the Deputy Master was about to kill Lu Li in person when Lu Li and Grand Master together shamed him and the young masters and young ladies were exiled to the Blood Realm.

They were in fatal danger on many occasions and suffered miserably. In the end, with Lu Suan’s strategy and Ji Mengtian’s breakthrough to the Human Sovereign Realm, they managed to best the indigenous people in the Blood Realm and survived.

Ji Mengyao and Yang Yu were released not long ago. Yang Yu was okay while Ji Mengyao was mentally tortured to the point where she almost lost her mind. She was a darling young lady. Once, she was the most admired young lady at the Central Plains, which made her proud and arrogant. Yet, she had been shamed.

Everyone choked with resentment. If they couldn’t find a way to vent that anger, it would become monsters on their minds, which would affect their cultivation and jeopardize their futures.

They had more than eight years to go. For the old warriors, this was nothing, a flash in time. But for those young people here, they felt it was too long. Eight years were valuable to young men. If they couldn’t find inner peace to cultivate, their entire life would be affected.

Lu Suan smiled at the other’s reactions. He said, “What? You don’t want to do it? You can go on if you like. Lu Family quits. Do as you wish. Lu Ni, let’s go back to the Mystic Armor City.”

Lu Suan walked out in a carefree manner. He seemed to mind nothing about Lu Li. Lu Ni rarely had opinions of his own and had always been following Lu Suan’s lead. Now that Lu Suan was gone, Lu Ni had no other choice but to stomp his feet and leave.

“Young Master Suan is really big hearted!”

Die Feiyu exclaimed. Ji Mengtian smiled and said, “If Lu Suan is really okay, he would have reached the Human Sovereign Realm. He is the one most concerned about Lu Li’s death. Between us and Lu Li, there is only hatred. But between him and Lu Li, there is a threat of his status.”

Yang Xuan sighed and was ready to leave when Yang Yu asked, “Are we really letting it go? Do we need to suffer for eight years and a half?”

Looking back at Yang Yu, Yang Xuan said, “Lu Suan is right. We will only humiliate ourselves to get back at Lu Li now. It seems like a long time, the eight years, but it is impossible to turn the Clouds Plains and the Northern Desert into a super force. At the very least, it is unlikely that they can have an Earth Immortal Realm warrior just by going through their resources. Therefore…if you want revenge, wait for eight years. Go back and cultivate. Let’s all try to reach the Human Sovereign Realm. When the time comes, we will go with our armies and kill our way to the Northern Desert and Clouds Plains.”

Yang Xuan left with Yang Yu. The only ones remaining here were Ji Mengyao, Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu. Die Feiyu patted her chest, exhaled and said, “I will go now. Mengtian, you have reached the Human Sovereign Realm. I must work harder as well.”

Die Feiyu was gone. Ji Mengyao could not let it go. Standing at the window, she gazed into the ocean.

“Sister~”

Ji Mengtian walked over and said, “Xing Mu has put pressure on Lu Li. In the same way, he has put pressure on us as well. If we can manipulate the monster on our minds well, the monster will turn into a sword over our head, spurring us on at every moment so we can avenge ourselves. Sister, cultivate now. In eight years and a half, you and I will go to Northern Desert and wipe out his entire family!”

“Okay!”

In Ji Mengyao’s eyes, there was coldness. She clenched her fists and veins popped out.

“Whoosh~”

Before they left, a man rushed in. He knelt and reported, “Ladies, I heard news from the Xi Long City. Yang Tiancheng captured Recluse Solar Dragon and handed him to Lu Li in person. Lu Li killed Recluse Solar Dragon in front of the public in the city. The body is still hung at the top of the city wall…”

“Bang!”

Ji Mengyao was unable to remain calm anymore. She grabbed a teacup, smashed it onto the ground and her face was twisted in anger. Ji Mengtian was not much better herself. Lu Li’s intention of killing Recluse Solar Dragon in front of the public of the city was clear—he was humiliating them, retaliating, frightening and shaming them.

Both of them thought of Lu Li. When they gazed into the sea, they seemed to see Lu Li on Beast Kings while laughing at them silently.

They stood for a while. Later, that scout returned with an order from their father for them to go back to the Samsara City at once and that they should no longer go after Lu Li.

“Hmm!”

Ji Mengtian and Ji Mengyao looked at each other with a bitter smile. Lu Suan, Yang Xuan and the others must have received orders as well. They would not be allowed to act as they wished now that Lu Li could control Beast Kings…

…

Lu Li did execute Recluse Solar Dragon in front of everyone at the Xi Long City and he did so in person.

When Recluse Solar Dragon was brought to Lu Li, he was hardly clinging to life. After the mess caused by Lu Li, the Hades Society’s reputation was in tatters. Yang Tiancheng was already being merciful by not killing Recluse Solar Dragon.

After Lu Li ended the life of Recluse Solar Dragon, he hopped on the sea serpent and went back to the Clouds Sea just as he promised and made no more trouble.

To fly back to the Island of Tranquility from here would cost him half a month and yet Lu Li had no other choice. He didn’t dare to take Teleportation Formations, fearing that the one at the Island of Tranquility would be destroyed by the time he reached the City of Waters. In that case, he would have a longer way to go.

More importantly, he thought Little White might come to him. Therefore, he decided to go back the way he came so that he could pick up Little White should it show up.

He was not afraid of any danger this time. The four forces would not go after him unless they were not scared of Xing Mu’s revenge. He believed Ji Mengtian and the others were called back to their families after this incident.

Lu Li was hosting some anger himself as well. If Ji Mengtian were to show up, he would not hesitate to kill her. But he was being sensible. He didn’t go after Ji Mengtian or Lu Suan. To kill Recluse Solar Dragon in public was Lu Li’s way of venting anger.

Lu Li hadn’t let the three Beast Kings go now in case there were dangers. He decided to release them after they arrived at the Island of Tranquility.

He didn’t plan on bring the Beast Kings to the Clouds Plains or Deserted World, either, as they were not his spirit beasts. When he was around, he could control them but when he was not, they would go on a riot, which was utterly risky.

“Young Master Li, spend some time to cultivate.”

Seeing that Lu Li was looking everywhere, Hu Lang said with a smile, “Cultivate and by the time we get back, you will reach the Noble Lord Realm. Don’t mind anything else. I will keep an eye out for Little White.”

“Alright!”

Sitting around for such a long time was boring. Lu Li indeed needed time for cultivation so that he could be fully prepared for reaching the Noble Lord Realm.
