Chapter 737: Long Time No See

There was one young master that Jun Mengchen could contact, one that was from the Hao Family, one of the major families in the Earth Imperial Universe.

The Jun Family and the Hao Family were in the honey moon period in their relationships. There hadn’t been a battle between the two families for hundreds of years. Therefore, Jun Mengchen tricking the Hao Family would jeopardize the relationship between the two families and was most likely lead to war.

However…

Could Jun Mengchen disobey Lu Li?

Absolutely not!

Jun Mengchen took out a token. As he poured Xuan Energy in, the token glowed. He sensed the reaction from the token for a while and said, “Young Master Haochuan and his team are not far away. I have notified them. They will arrive in a day or two days at most.”

“Young Master Haochuan? He is in here?”

Lu Li was surprised which then turned to delight. During their last encounter, Young Master Haochuan almost ended his life. This was the perfect chance for Lu Li to pay off old scores.

Lu Li thought for a while before he commanded, “Wait out here. I will go into the wind cave with Leng Wuxin. When Haochuan arrives, try to trick them in. Tell them there are valuables inside and that with one less Earth Immortal Realm warrior from your family, you are afraid to go into the cave to take a look. Tell them… you want them to hunt the treasure with you.”

Jun Mengchen replied, “You don’t have to worry. I will think of a way.”

Lu Li nodded, appreciating the good sense of Jun Mengchen. Even though the latter hadn’t addressed Lu Li as “master”, he was speaking with politeness. It indicated that Jun Mengchen knew how to behave to avoid too much suffering and humiliation.

Lu Li led Leng Wuxin into the wind cave. They didn’t go in too deep, only two miles. He made the Feather Wind go around in circles and confined it within the cave. This way, when Young Master Haochuan and his team arrived, they wouldn’t be spooked.

Lu Li sat down and cultivated quietly. He didn’t have much time left. He must try to capture as many young masters and young ladies as possible during the rest of the month to buy himself some leverage.

Soon, two days went by. He heard some noises coming from outside. Jun Mengchen’s voice followed, “Young Master Haochuan, with your help, we will most certainly acquire the treasure in there.”

“They are coming!”

A glint of killing intent rose in Lu Li’s eyes. He waved his hand quietly to gather up the Feather Wind. After he made several wind dragons, he waited silently for them to come in.

In a short while, several people walked in. At the front was Uncle Nine of the Jun Family. Following him was an unfamiliar Earth Immortal Realm warrior. Behind were Young Master Haochuan and the others. Altogether there were seven young masters and young ladies. At the back of the team was another Earth Immortal Realm warrior.

“They are almost here!”

Lu Li could tell the distance was shortened to less than half a mile. He immediately controlled several wind dragons to dash over. The cave was dark all around and psychic power was cut off here. The ones coming in from outside could not see Lu Li or Leng Wuxin at all.

However, as the wind dragons coming, they could hear the noises. Young Master Haochuan and his team were alerted. The Hao Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior questioned, “What is that?”

Uncle Nine of the Jun Family was smart. He threw himself onto the ground and yelled, “There are special Feather Wind in the cave. Get down!”

Hao Family didn’t know that they had been ambushed. Seeing the Jun Family people getting to the ground, they did so, too. Needless to say, the wind dragons came at the group and hovered above them. Horrifying soul attacks initiated.

Jun Mengchen was clever enough to slap himself on the forehead to knock himself out so that he didn’t have to stand the pain in his soul. The other young master and the young lady of the Jun Family did the same. Uncle Nine followed suit as well. None of them cared about the Hao Family and they had all knocked themselves out.

Haochuan and his team were dumbfounded. They were howling and rolling around. Soon, they could no longer endure the pain and passed out. Only the two Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the Hao Family were hanging in, trying to bring Haochuan and the others out. But every time they were able to stand up, two wind dragons would come at them, knocking them into the ground. They had to hold their heads because of the pain.

After the time for one incense stick to burn, everything finally quieted down as everyone had passed out.

Lu Li waved at Leng Wuxin who walked over. He moved the wind dragons away while Leng Wuxin dragged an Earth Immortal Realm warrior from the Hao Family over.

What happened next was natural. Lu Li used soul seeds and turned each one of them into his soul slave. Two hours were spent to finish the work.

“Two families now!”

Lu Li felt his confidence was boosted a bit. He told Leng Wuxin to splash the others with cold water to wake them up. He walked over in strides. Staring at Young Master Haochuan who was scratching his head in pain, Lu Li said with a grin, “Young Master Haochuan, long time no see.”

“Who are you?”

The light was dim. Under the influence of the tearing pain from his soul, Young Master Haochuan couldn’t see clearly. When he finally could tell that it was Lu Li, Young Master Haochuan flew into rage. He bellowed, “It is you. Courting death…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Lu Li’s cold voice, “Get down to your knees!”

Lu Li ordered Young Master Haochuan through the connection via the soul seed. Without any hesitation, Young Master Haochuan knelt down. He had lost control over his body and soul completely…

“What?”

To his terror, Young Master Haochuan soon understood what was going on. The other two young masters and one young lady looked awful. The two Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the Hao Family glared at Jun Mengchen and the others, resenting the Jun Family for setting them up. However, none dared to say a word in Lu Li’s presence.

Soul slaves had an innate fear of their masters, a terror that was rooted in the depth of their souls. Their souls were messy at the moment but as they gradually came back to their senses, they had already seen the cruel reality.

“Go out now!”

To torture a soul slave wouldn’t bring Lu Li much pleasure. The tunnel in the cave was narrow and the light was dim. Lu Li led everyone out.

“Take care of your wounds now!”

Out on the open grassland, Lu Li commanded. They all listened and sat down, taking out soul-nurturing elixirs to mend their souls respectively.

Lu Li was in deep thoughts. After a while, he asked Leng Wuxin, “Assume I tell powerful warriors from the Hao Family and the Jun Family to negotiate with your family. Do you think your family will cut me loose?”

Leng Wuxin considered about it for a moment. Then, shaking her head, she said with a sigh, “I don’t know. After all, Wushang was the most talented in the Leng Family for thousands of years. He was unofficially named the successor. He was the favorite of father and grandfather. If you were allowed to be alive… then the Leng Family would face great humiliation. For a super family, this is something that cannot be accepted.”

Lu Li sighed. He took out the Token of Blood Emperor and poured Xuan Energy in. The Token of Blood Emperor lit up. A surge of suffocating energy spread out from it.

Lu Li had one month left. He thought he could try to contact Blood Emperor and ask the powerful warrior he had never met to offer some help.

But…

The Token of Blood Emperor glowed for long time and yet no response came. Lu Li didn’t want to crush the Token of Blood Emperor directly. If there was no reaction now, crushing it wouldn’t bring any, either.

What was more, Lu Li had never met with Blood Emperor before. They were strangers. Why would Blood Emperor help Lu Li?

A couple of hours later, Lu Li noticed that Haochuan, Jun Mengchen and the others had recovered a bit. He woke them up and asked, “Do you have channels to contact your families?”

Jun Mengchen and Haochuan hesitated for a while. Then, Jun Mengchen said, “We can contact our families with the Print Stone.”

“Okay then!”

Lu Li stood up and said, “Contact your families in half a month. Tell them to go to the entrance to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God located to the north of the City of Leng if they want you alive. Tell them to kill all the Leng Family people there. Leng Family has gathered powerful warriors waiting there to end my life. But when I die, none of you can make it alive, either.”

“Try to lure as many young masters and young ladies over the next half a month. The more soul slaves I have, the greater the chance of survival will be. You will see the day to regain your freedom as long as I can stay alive. Do you understand?”

The Jun Family and Hao Family people smiled bitterly. Understanding it or not. Was there any difference for them?
