Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li went to Yu Huashen and Ming Yu to tell them his thoughts.

Ming Yu was fine with it. He would go anywhere with Lu Li. Ming Yu had identified Lu Renhuang as his master. Since Lu Renhuang was not here, Ming Yu would follow his young master.

Yu Huashen almost burst into tears. He had thought that going back to the Lu Family would bring him tons of benefits. He believed Lu Li would dissolve the Soul Worms, and then he could go back to the Northern Desert to be an overlord again. Little did he expect that not only did he not get benefits, this evil Lu Li wanted to go back to the Northern Desert and unify it…

But what could he say?

Lu Li saw the expressions on Yu Huashen's face. Lu Li smiled and then took out two jade talismans which controlled Soul Worms from his Interspatial Ring. With a glare of Xuan Energy, he dissolved the jade talismans and the Soul Worms in Yu Huashen died.

Yu Huashen would no longer be a slave after the Soul Worms died and he was free again.

"Ah? Young Master… what are you doing?"

Yu Huashen was taken by surprise as he asked.

Ming Yu's eyes glowed. He was combat-ready as if Yu Huashen were their enemy.

Yu Huashen was at the middle stage of Noble Lord Realm and Ming Yu's Force couldn't do any impact to Yu Huashen. What if he suddenly made a move?

Lu Li was not worried. He looked at Yu Huashen with a smile. However, Yu Huashen felt chills on his back when Lu Li smiled. Yu Huashen knelt down and said, "Thank you, Young Master. I will regard you as my master for my entire life and you have my sworn allegiance."

Yu Huashen was a clever guy. He knew how powerful Lu Li was. Even at such a short distance, Yu Huashen wouldn't be able to tell which one was the real Lu Li and he would be crushed to death by the Blood Claw as soon as the latter released his Bloodline Skills.

"Very good!"

Lu Li nodded. He had been observing Yu Huashen. If Yu Huashen showed any signs of killing intent, he would died by now.

Lu Li said, "Yu Huashen, stand up now. I want to unify the Northern Desert and nobody can stop me. I can kill any warrior at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm if I want to, so I have no more match at the Northern Desert."

To this, Yu Huashen and Ming Yu agreed. Noble Lord Realm warriors could not see through the cloning skill and Lu Li's Fate Wheel was different from others. He was very fast, comparable to average six or seven-layered Fate Wheels.

More importantly, there were Ye Cha and others as powerful servants for Lu Li. Nobody at the Northern Desert could beat Lu Li.

The new emperor of the Northern Desert.

Yu Huashen was intrigued by the idea. The Yu Family was only a fifth-rank Family and had always been under the control of the Zi Family. If the Yu Family still had to be controlled by others, they might as well serve under the new emperor of the Northern Desert. By then, the Yu Family could harvest great benefits and rise up along with Lu Li.

One more thing!

Lu Li was the disciple of the Lu Family at the Central Plains, his father was Lu Renhuang, and his grandpa Lu Zhengyang was the Family Patriarch of one of the 12 Royal Families. Sooner or later, Lu Li would be going back to the Central Plains. If Yu Huashen stayed by the side of Lu Li who could become the Family Patriarch of the Lu Family in the future, how many rewards and benefits could the Yu Family get?

How talented Lu Li was?

The others might now know, but Yu Huashen was clear about it. Before he was 15, Lu Li couldn't even cultivate Xuan Energy. After such a short time, he could already kill warriors at the Noble Lord Realm. Decades later, how much more powerful could Lu Li grow to be?

Unimaginable!

Yu Huashen didn't stand up. Instead, he bowed and said, "Young Master, I sincerely regard you as my master. If I have untoward thoughts, the Yu Family will be destroyed and every member of the Yu Family will die."

Yu Huashen's vow was solemn. Even Ming Yu felt touched. Lu Li's smile grew thicker. He nodded and said, "Yu Huashen, you have been with me for some time now and I think you have a pretty good idea of what I am like. If you follow me, as long as I am still alive, I will treat the Yu Family well."

"Thank you!"

Yu Huashen kowtowed. This time, without Lu Li telling him, Yu Huashen stood up. He looked more determined now. The three of them looked at each other and smiled. In the beginning, there seemed to be some barrier between Yu Huashen, Ming Yu and Lu Li. The barrier had vanished completely.

"Young Master!"

Yu Huashen didn't change his way of addressing Lu Li since he was used to it. He thought about it and continued, "Do we go back to the Northern Desert by ocean or by Teleportation Formations?"

If they were to fly past the ocean, it would take them one or two years as it was such a long distance. Teleportation Formations required Xuan Crystals which they didn't have as they even had to borrow Xuan Crystals to go back to the Lu Family.

"Buzzing~"

Lu Li's ring glowed and another Interspatial Ring showed up. This one was the one Great Patriarch gave to him. After Lu Li connected with the ring, he inspected and found himself shocked.

Great Patriarch said he had some Xuan Crystals and Mystical Materials for Lu Li, but there were five or six million Purple Xuan Crystals in it which could amount to 50 or 60 billion Xuan Crystals.

Great Patriarch said he only had few Mystical Materials, yet this Interspatial Ring was hundred times larger than Lu Li's and there were at least tens of thousand plants of Mystical Materials in it of different kinds.

Great Patriarch wouldn't collect anything that was average. Those Mystical Materials must be treasured ones and priceless.

"Teleportation, we will teleport back!"

Lu Li had tens of billions of Xuan Crystals so there was no reason that he still had to take the Iron-armored Ship which was slow. It was a long journey. Nobody could tell what could happen. What if they ran into some pirates at the ocean?

Lu Li took out the map of the Central Plains and took a few glances. Soon, he made up his mind and said, "We are about to pass through the ocean soon, and after that, we will travel along the coastline towards the north for two months before arriving at the Flowing Clouds Region which is the territory of the Palace of Heaven's Roars. We will teleport to the northern Central Plains from the Flowing Clouds Region and teleport back to the Northern Desert from the Clouds City."

"That should be fine!"

Ming Yu and Yu Huashen agreed that this should be the shortest way. Teleportation Formations were safer. Lu Li had reached the Fate Wheel Realm and his soul was stronger now so he should be able to endure teleportation. At the worst, they could take a rest after teleporting for a couple of days.

The Iron-armored Ship flew on. At that night, they were finally at the ocean. Gazing into the vast ocean, the tranquil and beautiful ocean, Lu Li felt quite cozy.

He realized that Lu Feixue had been staying in her cabin these days. He knocked and walked in. She was sitting there in a low spirit.

"Lu Li, is everything okay?" Seeing Lu Li come in, Lu Feixue put on a smile in a hurry. Lu Li sat down next to her and asked, "Aunt, what is the matter? Are you unhappy?"

Lu Feixue thought about keeping her feeling to herself, yet looking into Lu Li's deep eyes, she couldn't help but sigh and say, "Lu Li, am I useless? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to be homeless. Ah… you have been lonely and helpless since you were a kid. Now that you finally came back to the Lu Family, you have to leave again because of me."

"Aunt!"

Lu Li's smile vanished as he seriously said, "I have told you this before. This has nothing to do with you. Lu Zhengtan wants to come into power and my and my father's existence has been in his way. Therefore, I still would be thrown out or killed by Lu Zhengtan if you were not here."

"Plus…"

Lu Li continued after some thoughts, "Truth be told, I am not happy living there in the Lu Family. I am more comfortable being alone. I am used to not relying on anybody, so I didn't have much expectation on the Lu Family in the first place. I will make a living by myself. I will… prove to Lu Zhengtan that his decision is wrong. I will let the Lu Family regret. Aunt, do you believe me?"

"I do!"

Lu Feixue nodded. She reached out, patted his face and said, "You don't look like my big brother but you have the same genes within. You are stubborn, crazy, determined and unyielding. Too bad… my big brother is missing now. If he can meet you, he will be so fond of you."

"Actually, father is not missing!"

Lu Li didn't hide any information this time. They were out of the Lu Family now, so there wouldn't be any need to worry about information leak. He explained, "I know where my father is. He is trapped in a dangerous place with my mother. I am not powerful enough. When I grow stronger, I will go down there and save them. But aunt, I will need your help!"
