Chapter 742: Who Is He?

There must be a good reason before waging a war!

Without a justified reason, the initiator of a war would be accused by others. Over the course of history, every war between the universes were under good pretenses, or at the very least, a tolerable excuse.

What was the excuse this time?

The five families could not have said that they were threatening and attacking at the Leng Family, which would be utter humiliation. Therefore, Jun Hongye used Lu Li as the shield. As for if the excuse could convince others, that was not Jun Hongye’s concern.

Leng Family wanted Lu Li dead. So, they were here to save Lu Li. It was that easy! As for who Lu Li was… that was not important. All they needed was a plausible cause.

As a matter of fact!

To those people, they didn’t care about whether they could save their disciples or not. They had sprung to action. Naturally, they would figure out a way to rescue their disciples. They planned to tear Lu Li into pieces in the process.

The most crucial goal of the mission was—to find an excuse to ravage the Leng Family which had enjoyed a history of a million years. The five families were now on the same side. Without a proper proposal, they would not give in.

Many Family Patriarchs took actions on hearing the news. They gathered at the City of Feng, capital of the Feng Dynasty to discuss if they should put up a fight or negotiate.

The location was set at the Feng Family, instead of the Qi or the Leng Family for a reason. Leng Family was the target of this allied assault. Since the Qi Family and the Leng Family were closely tied, it was highly possible that the Qi Family would send in troops to help.

Two days had passed but the discussion brought about no conclusion. Jun Hongye was right. If he desired to call on more families to cooperate, to purge the Central Imperial Universe was nothing difficult.

The Leng Family issued an announcement: angrily rebuking the five families. A call-up was published. Leng Family urged others to gather at the City of Leng to fight against their enemies together. At the same time, a message was sent to the Divine Imperial Universe and the other universes through a secret channel. Leng Family asked those families to unite in the face of the group of five.

Soon, Qi Family responded. They stated that they would work with the Leng Family to resist the enemy. Qi Family also appealed to all the others of the Central Imperial Universe to fight against the group of five together. They also expressed desire to go to the Earth Imperial Universe to retaliate.

Three days later, powerful warriors from two major families of the Underworld Universe arrived. After another half a day, powerful warriors of the Wu Family from the Mage Imperial Universe came to the City of Chaos as well.

In addition to those from the Wu Family, Chen Family, another super power of the Mage Imperial Universe also sent forces over. Chen Wutian, Family Patriarch of the Chen Family, came in person to participate in the party of looting.

The group of five had grown to six. Two of the lunatic families of the Mage Imperial Universe had come. The families that were gathered at the City of Feng were frightened. Many that had been advocating to go to the City of Leng for a life-and-death battel against the group of five ceased all activities. Clearly, they had adopted the stance of onlookers…

Another two days passed. Powerful warriors of the group of six took actions. They didn’t take Teleportation Formations to go to the City of Leng because the one over there had been destroyed.

A great senior warrior of the Ren Family from the Underworld Universe had constructed a miraculous formation that could take them across the space and the void. Their trip to the City of Leng could go uninterrupted.

A Semi-God Realm freak and five Earth Immortal Realm warriors were assigned by the group of six to stay in command at the City of Chaos. The rest all took the ancient formation built by the Ren Family and journeyed to the north.

The group of six were clever enough to not kill any warriors along the way, nor did they loot any cities. They were making it clear that they were going after the Leng Family.

This action frightened the other families of the Central Imperial Universe more. There was trace of belief in their heart that the six families were targeting at the Leng Family solely.

Leng Family was in a complete panic!

Because of the arrival of the Chen Family from the Mage Imperial Universe, Qi Family, who had promised reinforcement, hadn’t sent over any powerful warriors.

Leng Xing, Family Patriarch of the Leng Family, stopped cultivation. He took over the authority of the Leng Family from Leng Tianhen. Leng Xing activated a secret tunnel to relocate the women, the senior, the children, and the invalid of the Leng Family.

They might win or they might lose. In any case, the Leng Family must go on. Young disciples of the Leng Family could be relocated. They could rehabilitate in the secret land Leng Family owned for tens of millions of years. The Leng Family would rise again. By that time, they could return to the Central Imperial Universe.

The Leng Family had been having this question. Why did the group of six say they were here for the sake of Lu Li?

Leng Family didn’t know that Lu Li had disciples of these families in his control. Therefore, Leng Family could not find the answer—who was Lu Li? Why were the six families allying together to protect him? Was it because of the Blood Emperor?

Prestigious as the Blood Emperor was, Leng Family didn’t believe that he had the power to solicit help from six major families.

The underlying reason was not important at the moment. The war was coming, and there was no place for Leng Family to run. They gathered all their powerful warriors to prepare for the war. They even called back some cultivating warriors in other small realms and those that had retired from society. The resources a million-year family could allocate was not to be undermined.

The Ren Family senior warrior’s skill of going through space was impressive. In just two days, more than 100 powerful warriors had been teleported to near the City of Leng.

Instead of starting attacking at the city, they flew to the north and aimed at the entrance to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God.

They had not forgotten their initial task. They must take control of the entrance to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God so as to save their disciples. Then, they would take the time and deal with the Leng Family.

Two days were left before Lu Li and all the others were about to be teleported out. The more than one hundred powerful warriors killed the several Human Sovereign Realm warriors guarding the entrance. There were some Earth Immortal Realm guards, but they were all called back by the Leng Family.

Half a day later, Leng Family sent over a messenger, demanding a chance of negotiation!

Another reason that the group of six hadn’t started to attack the City of Leng was waiting for the Leng Family to extend an invitation of negotiation. For either side, a war would always bring about steep casualties. When victory could be won without a battle, when everyone could come and leave, knowing their needs had been satisfied, one would only be too glad to do it.

The group of six talked it over and made a list of demands, stating that they would withdraw their armies if Leng Family could provide them with the Mystical Materials.

The messenger of the Leng Family was greatly shocked by the list. The six families were asking for the moon, demanding an exorbitant price. Leng Family couldn’t afford what were on the list even if they sold out all their assets.

Of course, asking for the moon didn’t mean there wasn’t room for negotiation. As long as the six families showed willingness to talk, the two parties could reach a consensus of the price. It was still possible for the talk to yield fruit.

Leng Family naturally didn’t want to go to war under the premise that the conditions were within reason. After all, it would take the Leng Family tens of thousands of years to recover when they lost those powerful warriors.

The messenger of the Leng Family went back. The six families were in no rush. Lu Li had yet to be teleported back. When he did, saving their disciples was the first on the agenda.

Their disciples had become Lu Li’s soul slaves, but none of the families felt worried. They believed that Lu Li, a Noble Lord Realm warrior, was nothing other than an ant for them.

When they took Lu Li down, the rest would come easily.

Many families had called upon a number of old and great warriors who possessed more than one incredible skills. They had countless ways to control Lu Li and to make him take back his soul seeds, which would save their disciples.

In the Forbidden Ground of Elder God, Lu Li left the wind cave. He was about to teleport about. Whether he could remain alive or not was dependent on what was going to happen tomorrow.

He gathered all and told them to take out all their Interspatial Rings and Quasi Relics. He confiscated them all. When he died, all this stuff would fall into the hands of others. But what if during the teleportation, those people were sent back to their respective universes? In that case, Lu Li would have zero chance of having these Quasi Relics. Of course, he wanted to have them secure in his hands first.

“Buzzing!”

As the Wicked Bead glared, all were taken into it. He had told them not to move about in the hall. Otherwise, when they stirred up the Feather Wind, none of them could survive.

“Phew, phew~”

After all were taken in, Lu Li sighed. He looked up to the sky, waiting for the coming of the final moment silently.
