Chapter 233: Bring it On

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li’s patience had run out. Next time, Xu Yaoyang would ask for 50 million.

Lu Li had the Xuan Crystals. Any piece of Mystical Grass in his Interspatial Ring could be sold at several billion Xuan Crystals, but he wished not to offer anymore. He could not suffer in silence any longer, nor did he want to feed the Xuan Crystals to a bastard.

He asked Hunchback Tian to take him to the Blood Evil Island. He saw Xu Yaoyang who had taken the center seat, looking very cocky. The Second Patriarch of the Xu Family, Xu Sihe, was there as well.

Lu Li met him once before at Xu Chen’s birthday banquet. Back at that time, Xu Sihe even took Lu Li’s hands with kindness and showed him to the Xu Family compound.

But now, Xu Sihe was an entirely different person. He sat next to Xu Yaoyang, with his head lowered, while enjoying his cup of tea, not even looking at Lu Li. Behind them stood two warriors at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm, looking indifferent as well.

Lu Li knew in his heart that they were not here with goodwill. Xu Yaoyang clearly was here to find fault with Lu Li and to crack down the Blood Evil Island.

Also, the order probably didn’t come from Xu Chen, but Madam Yan. Xu Chen was afraid to upset Ming Yu. Even though he never showed up at the Blood Evil Island again, Xu Chen still wouldn’t take the risk.

Also, Xu Chen was concerned about the mysterious warrior that had followed Lu Li to the Wu Ling County. The fact that Xu Chen allowed Xu Yaoyang to come and make a fuss was clearly because some secret supporter had indicated it was okay. Of course, the supporter was Madam Yan.

With the Bai Family backing him up, Xu Chen had no more worries.

Madam Yan was really getting mad or she wanted Lu Li to taste the bitter result so he could understand something—it would not end well for him to offend the Bai Family at the Thousand-island Lake. To live on comfortably here, Lu Li must surrender to her.

Lu Li walked over, staying calm and collected, now that he had straightened out his thoughts. He cupped his fists in front of his chest and said to Xu Sihe, "Greetings, Lord Xu, and Young Master Xu. How are you doing?"

Xu Yaoyang coldly humphed without saying anything. Xu Sihe raised his eyes and looked at Lu Li while saying, "Lu Li, you are here. Please, sit down."

Lu Li didn’t pretend to refuse. He found a seat and sat down immediately. He asked, "Lord Xu, what are you here for? State your business."

Xu Sihe took a sip of his tea, sighed and said, "Lu Li, don’t you know? Recently, the bandits here are running wild. There are four armies of powerful bandits now. Two of them are even led by Fate Wheel Realm warriors. Our Xu Family has been suffering great losses and we are in dire need of Mystical Grasses and pellets. Now… we don’t have other options so we are here to get enough Xuan Crystals."

Lu Li didn’t want to go through all those rubbish again. He bluntly said, "I hear that Lord Xu you want five million Xuan Crystals. We are just a small Island. How do you think we can afford this?"

"You are being too modest, Island Owner Lu."

Xu Sihe smiled a light smile and said, "You spent 20 million at the Auctions House in one throw. Who of the Thousand-island Lake doesn’t know this? Tell you what… according to our speculation, those bandits are coming at you and they want to rob the Blood Evil Island and you, you big wealthy man. You are living a comfortable life here, away from the battlefield, but the Xu Family is seeing more and more people die. I don’t think this is okay."

"Coming at me?"

Lu Li laughed at them secretly. They were really coming at him. The bandits? Who knew warriors of which families dressed up as the bandits? There must be some from the Xu Family.

"We can’t afford it!"

Lu Li shook his head and said, "The Blood Evil Island is basically destitute now. Lord Yu, if it is a couple of hundred thousand Xuan Crystals you ask for, maybe we can get it together. But you can kill me now but you cannot get the five million Xuan Crystals from me."

"It’s okay if you don’t give us the Xuan Crystals."

Xu Sihe looked at Lu Li and said, "If you don’t have money, then give us some of your warriors. Send 10,000 warriors and let them go with us to suppress bandits."

Lu Li really didn’t know how to react now. There were less than 10,000 warriors of the Blood Evil Island in total. Also, even if he could send some warriors out, not many of them could come back. If he himself went, he would be assassinated.

Lu Li directly refused, "Lord Xu, there are not so many warriors of the Blood Evil Island. None of them is powerful enough. Even if they could go, they would be basically flying to death. How about… we lend you all of our Green Dwarfs?"

"No!"

Xu Sihe said with certainty, "Our Family Patriarch has given out orders. All the affiliated forces must give either Xuan Crystals or manpower. Otherwise, we will not offer any help if the bandits fight their way to your Blood Evil Island."

"Then let them."

Lu Li didn’t want to waste anymore time. He got up and said, "Lord Xu, you can send a word to those bandits. I am waiting for them here. But anyone that dares to set foot on the Blood Evil Island will be responsible for their own fate."

With that said, Lu Li strode over to the outside. The other party was getting too pushy that Lu Li didn’t have any alternative. Since the Xu Family wanted to have fun, then Lu Li would do it with them. The bandits could come here as they wished, and Lu Li would kill all that had the guts.

It was certain that Madam Yan was behind this order. She didn’t want to do it publicly so Lu Li was not afraid of her. It meant that the Bai Family wasn’t going to send out warriors of the Eternal Realm just yet. Lu Li could win in a fight against some warriors of the Soul Pond Realm and several Fate Wheel Realm warriors.

The bandits wouldn’t come so soon. The ones who got here first wouldn’t be too powerful. After several rounds of fighting, Ye Cha and the others could come out. Lu Li didn’t want to tolerate this anymore.

No matter how far he was willing to compromise, they still wouldn’t let him off the hook easily. The more he suffered in silence, the pushier Xu Yaoyang would be. Lu Li could give tens of millions of Xuan Crystals and the outcome would still be the same. Then why would he let the Xu Family get rich in this way?

"Ha, ha!"

Xu Yaoyang smiled out of anger, looking at how arrogant Lu Li was. Xu Yaoyang coldly said, "Lu Li, you have chosen your way. If the bandits are here and we cannot help you in time, don’t blame us."

Lu Li had reached the door. He stopped, looked back at Xu Yaoyang and rebutted, "Young Master Xu, I have a suggestion for you. Don’t go to the extremes. Save something for the future. Also… there being so many bandits running around, so you’d better don’t go out anymore because you have such powerful abilities. It will be utterly disturbing if you are killed by one of them."

Having said that, Lu Li left the fortress. He said to Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven who were guarding outside, "See Lord Xu and Young Master Xu out. I have other matters to tend to and I will leave now. Remember, take good care of Young Master Xu. Don’t let him die at the Blood Evil Island."

"Bang~"

From inside came a muffled sound. In a fit of rage, Xu Yaoyang smashed a table next to him. Xu Sihe stood up and said with a scowled face, "Let’s go."

Xu Sihe left with Xu Yaoyang. Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven sent them off nervously. As soon as they came back, they went to see Lu Li who was at the peak of the Dragon Elephant Mountain. Patriarch Seven asked with concerns, "Island Owner, are we really going to offend the Xu Family openly?"

"What else?"

Lu Li looked at Patriarch Seven coldly and said, "It is clear that the Xu Family are trying to hurt me. I can give them all the Xuan Crystals and it still won’t help. Since they want to play, then let’s play."

Seeing Patriarch Seven and Liu Yi’s expressions becoming even gloomier, Lu Li continued after a pause, "What? Are you getting scared? If you don’t want to fight, then fine, give me the Earth Dragon Island. Then you can make an announcement saying I have left the Blood Evil Island. I will take responsibility for everything."

Patriarch Seven was hesitating. Liu Yi, on the other hand, made up her mind and said right away, "Everything the Liu Family has now is because we have you, Island Owner. If you want to fight, then we will fight all the way till we have nobody alive."

Patriarch Seven give it some thoughts. The ultimate ending of the Liu Family still would be destruction without Lu Li. Now they were on the same boat. Lu Li had left such a deep influence over the Liu Family that they could not be parted. Soon, Patriarch Seven said, "We will advance and retreat with you, Island Owner."

"Good!" Lu Li squinted, looked towards the God-down Island, and said with a grin on his face, "Then let’s show the Xu Family a good time."
