Chapter 517: Calling White Black
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Yang Xuan's words were so cruel that even Die Feiyu and the others found them hard to hear.
Lu Suan didn't mind it. His expressions were always so calm and he had always been wearing a smile. Nobody could tell whether he was happy or sad. His sophistication was not a match for his age. He didn't seem to be a young man of about 20 years old but a monster that had been living for thousands of years.
Lu Suan shook his head and said, "Young Master Xuan, I know that Lu Li was driven out from the Lu Family but he is still my cousin and he still has the Lu Family blood in his vines. So, even though he has committed heinous crimes, please be merciful on him, for me."
What Lu Suan said stunned the others for a bit. Why was Lu Suan begging for Lu Li? Why did he say that Lu Li had committed heinous crime? Lu Suan said it so naturally that Lu Li almost thought he had done something that caused widespread indignation and discontent.
As a matter of fact!
Never once did Lu Li start a conflict with Yang Xuan, Lu Suan, Ji Mengtian and the gang. Instead, they were the ones that had tricked him and Jiang Qiling to a near-death-trap.
He was the one scammed and the one who came to get even. But he hadn't done anything yet. On what ground would Lu Suan say that Lu Li had committed crime? This was only the second time that Lu Li had ever ran into Yang Xuan and Lu Suan…
Albeit shocked, Yang Xuan and the others came to their senses soon. He put on a cold smile and said, "Young Master Suan, we will control ourselves even if Lu Li has done wrong - unpardonable wrongs. We will punish him lightly. After all is said and done, he is a disciple of your Lu Family and he has the Lu Family blood in his body. I will show mercy for Lu Family's sake."
There were two young masters behind Yang Xuan. The two went along with Yang Xuan's words. One of them thought of an idea and said, "With due respect, I don't agree with Young Master Suan and Young Master Xuan. The fact that Lu LI hooked up with alien races is unforgivable. He should be beheaded as a warning to others."
"That is right!"
The other one said, "Lu Li ganged up with the four alien races, attempting to harm Lady Ji and Lady Die Feiyu. Luckily for the two young ladies, they had on materials to build Transportation Formations. Otherwise, they and warriors from the Samsara Palace and the Pavilion of Blossoms would have been tricked and killed."
"Right!"
A warrior from the Samsara Palace picked up the cue and added, "Lu Li colluded with the four alien races, seeking to harm Lady Ji to take her Quasi Relic. If we didn't run, we would all be dead by now. Lu Li's plan didn't work out so he put on a show with the four alien races. One warrior beating four alien races, who would believe that? One warrior of the Eternal Realm could best the allied forces of four alien races? This is ridiculous. Clearly, he has been working with the alien races…"
"Yes, that is right…"
"Kill this bastard!"
They all said something that added up to a plump lie, a quite elaborate one. It was reasonable and hard to be refuted. If an outsider was here, he might really think Lu Li had been ganging up with the four alien races.
They were lying through their teeth. They were so righteous and honorable in their words that Die Feiyu couldn't bear it. She turned her face away.
On the other hand, Yang Xuan, Lu Suan and Ji Mengtian were calm and accepted the account with no shame as if they felt this was exactly what had happened…
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Under the extreme gravitational force, Lu Li couldn't even stand up. But now, he raised his head and laughed. He laughed so hard that tears broke out. He had met many shameless one, but nobody came close to this group.
He understood why they were doing this. Tied to each person's belt, there was a jade talisman which contained a miraculous Inhibition Formation that could keep track of everything happening nearby. At the moment, everyone took their jade talisman out to record this. They wanted to let the outside know that they were killing or punishing Lu Li for justice and there was a good reason.
Lu Renhuang never showed up again and Lu Zhengyang was still clinging to life. The group had no courage to kill Lu Li with no reason at all.
They wanted a cover, even if it was a bad one that would not hold up in close analysis. At least in this way, they would have a plausible reason.
Lu Li stopped his laugh. He turned to Ji Mengtian and said, "Lady Ji, you have been given such a perfect body and I think the Creator was blind when he created you. I have never seen any girl as sinister and evil as you. Anyone who will marry you will be practically marrying a viper or demon with human skin."
With that said, Lu Li looked away from her and said to Die Feiyu, "Die Feiyu, to me, you are an innocent, pure, delicate and adorable girl. I could not convince myself that you are colluding with them and help with their evil cause. You have done something vicious. I am very disappointed…in you!"
Then Lu Li turned his to Yang Xuan and continued, "Yang Xuan from the Hades Society? I don't think I ever was in a conflict with you. Why do you try again and again to set me up? Even if you can kill me this time, are you not afraid that my grandpa will wake up? Are you not afraid that my father will turn the Hades Society upside down?"
"And my two dear cousins!"
Finally, Lu Li looked at Lu Suan and Lu Ni. Neglecting Lu Ni, Lu Li said to Suan, "Lu Suan, I have to admit that you are the most terrifying opponent I ever had. Your wisdom and strategy are second to none in the world. It should have been the Lu Family's honor to have someone like you. Too bad…you have put your wisdom to the wrong place!"
"Now that I have left the Lu Family, I will not go back. Therefore, I am not a threat to your position. I don't care for the position of being a Family Patriarch of the Lu Family. Why do you have to put me in death's way over and over again? At the end of the day, we still have the same blood running in our body. How will you face the ancestors of the Lu Family when you die by killing your own cousin?"
Lu Li glanced to every one of them after he said his piece. Die Feiyu was more abashed. As for Lu Suan, Lu Ni, Ji Mengtian and Yang Xuan, they still had no expression as if Lu Li had merely farted.
Ji Mengtian sighed and said, "Lu Li, why do you still refuse to come to your senses now? Just admit your mistakes and we will let you go. If you can stop before it is too late and admit your error and ask for punishment at the Demon-slaying Hall, we will not force you into a conundrum."
"Yes!"
Yang Xuan yelled. A long sword appeared in his hand. Pointing it to Lu Li, he said, "Lu Li, you have two choices. One, you can kowtow and confess. When we get out, ask for punishment at the Demon-slaying Hall and we will cut you lose. Or…we will have to enforce justice on behalf of heaven."
Lu Suan shook and lowered his head, appearing to be disappointed. But he said nothing, like a detached monk.
The few warriors behind Yang Xuan were getting more eager to kill. As a matter of fact, everyone knew that Lu Li would not kowtow. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the guts to kill patriarchs of the Lu Family back at the Mystic Armor City. Everyone here were secretly preparing to take action.
Lu Li laughed an angry laugh. He said nothing more. His ferocious smile and his strong killing intent made everyone else chill. He was like a shepherd dog surrounded by a pack of wolves.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Right at that moment, a loud laugh broke out, alarming Ji Mengtian and others. Lu Suan suddenly opened his eyes, from which shot out cold glares, as gold as ancient glaciers.
A man in white flew over. A young man with a huge sword on his back presented himself. He had beautiful and inspiring looks, as if he was an immortal detached from worldly pleasures.
Ye Luo, of the Tumulus of Universe, had come at such a critical moment.
Ye Luo stood 30 feet behind Lu Li. Ye Luo glanced over to the rest and said with ridicule, "I have been living in the world for 25 years and I have been proud to call myself a disciple of the 12 royal family. Today, as I watch you, I feel it shameful to be a disciple of 12 royal family like you. I don't want to meddle in this but you have gone too far, too dirty. I am afraid that you will defame the name of disciples of 12 royal families. So…with all due respect, I'd like to right the wrong."
