The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 588: Thank You

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The battle at the Drifting Cloud City was over, but the war over the Clouds Plains wasn't. That being said, the final outcome had been predetermined now that Lu Ling had controlled all the Human Sovereign Realm warriors.

Lu Li sent someone to Ye Hu and told him to let God of Meng and Ke Mang to go hide in Mount Mist. Lu Li had achieved what he had come for. There was no need for God of Meng to come. After all, he was from an alien race.

Many had died in the battle. The total number of casualties had reached hundreds of thousands. Privately, Lu Li felt shocked by Lu Ling's hardened heart. He would not have the boldness for such a plan.

Lu Li understood this was built in her character. She would help family and friends at the loss of her own life but she would be merciless to enemies. For those unrelated, she wouldn't shed a tear no matter how many casualties there were.

Lu Ling had gone through too much since she was young. The recklessness of the world had formed her character. Under the protection of Lu Ling, Lu Li wasn't exposed to too many cruelties. His characters were milder than Lu Ling's, thusly.

The several Human Sovereign Realm warriors each led an army and charged toward the forces that hadn't surrendered yet. Lu Li stayed with Lu Ling in the Drifting Cloud Hall.

Many patriarchs of the Drifting Cloud Hall were actually under the control of Lu Ling. Otherwise, Lady Seven wouldn't have said that many old guys trusted Lu Ling. They were her slaves, what else would they do other than trust her?

Lu Ling told Lu Li to have a rest while she listened to many reports and gave many orders and made arrangements. She had been planning for a long time and would not allow any untoward events.

Lu Li sat in a side chamber on his own, absent-minded. Not long afterwards, he heard some footsteps outside. He frowned and looked but saw a pretty girl.

Lady Seven had come to him!

Lu Li had changed back to his own looks after he washed his face. Lady Seven wasn't sure who he was so she asked timidly, "Are you Meng Ji?"

Lu Li gave a soft smile and said, "I am not Meng Ji. My name is Lu Li and I am from the Northern Desert. Lady Seven, I lied to you. I actually used you to get to my sister Lu Ling, the Saintess. Well…I am sorry."

He had achieved his goal. There was no need to lie to Lady Seven any more.

"As I have expected!"

Lady Seven shed tears as she said, "I didn't think a man like you was merely a warrior at our Tu Family. When I saw you talk to the Earth Immortal Realm warrior of the Ji Family, I thought I had the wrong guy. Ha…"

Lady Seven's laugh was sad. Lu Li had lied to her and used her. He must have also lied when he said he wanted to bring her out of the Clouds Plains and find a small town to live a comfortable life.

She looked at Lu Li, tearfully. After so many years, she had toyed with many men but this was the first time she actually had feelings for one. But she was used. This was a hard blow on her.

"Well, it actually makes sense…"

Soon, she wiped off her tears. She forced a smile and said, "You are amazing, brilliant. You are the moon in the sky. How can I, Tu Qi, a fallen woman deserve you? I will go now. Thank you for being a part of my life…"

Lady Seven looked into Lu Li's eyes, trying to remembering him.

Then she walked away with no hesitation. Lu Li looked at her, feeling a sensation of loss. But he didn't say anything.

Generally speaking, there was a sad story behind every slut. Lady Seven had Lu Li's sympathy but it didn't mean he approved of her. Everyone had their own life. Lu Li was not a savior and he could not save every person.

What was more…

The words left behind by the Ji Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior was still lingering on Lu Li's mind. He didn't know whether the four forces would unite and invade the Northern Desert after 10 years but he knew the Samsara Palace would bear insult.

Lu Li had one Human Sovereign Realm warrior in his employ and Lu Ling had six. But it was still like throwing an egg to a rock when they were up against the Samsara Palace.

Samsara Palace had more than 20 Human Sovereign Realm warriors and some Earth Immortal Realm warriors. How many Human Sovereign Realm warriors could be developed in Lu Li and Lu Ling's territory?

Would it be three, or five, or ten?

Say they were extremely lucky and they could mobilize 10 Human Sovereign Realm warriors, so what? One or two Earth Immortal Realm warrior from the Samsara Palace could beat them. The ultimate ending for Lu Li and Lu Ling would still be catastrophic.

"Well…"

Somehow, Lu Li was excited by the fact that Lu Ling had control over six Human Sovereign Realm warriors. He could finally send someone down the Ice Abyss.

God of Meng was sent by Lu Li to have an attempt before but he was not powerful enough. He was only half way through when he felt fatal danger and could not go further.

Now that there were more Human Sovereign Realm warriors, they could help each other. Three or four of them could go together. Once Lu Renhuang is located, they must be able to find a way to bring him up.

…

"Okay, sure!"

Lu Li told Lu Ling his ideas when she was done. She nodded and replied, "After the Clouds Plains is unified, I will bring four Human Sovereign Realm warriors to the Ice Abyss. Father's jade talisman is intact. At least, he is still alive."

Lu Ling took out a jade talisman that belonged to Lu Renhuang. Back at the Wu Ling County, she was burnt but the jade talisman wasn't damaged. After all, it was a jade talisman of life that the Lu Family had manufactured for Lu Renhuang. It would survive any average attack.

The night at the Wu Ling County, Lu Ling and Family Patriarch of the Zhao Family perished together. She was burnt alive but her Fire Phoenix Birth was awakened and she was reborn. Her crippled leg was healed and her body was transformed into one that was suitable for cultivation.

That was the reason for her fast progress. When she arrived at the Clouds Plains, both Master of the Drifting Cloud Hall and You Ping wanted her to quickly improve her realm. In this way, her Fire Phoenix Energy could grow into Fire Phoenix Flames. She was given the best recourse and she was able to advance quickly.

Lu Li didn't have a clear understanding of those miraculous births but they must be rare. As soon as she was seen to be of fire phoenix birth, Ghost Snake Granny snatched her, which proved that this kind of birth origins were incredible. It was understandable that Lu Ling could reach the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm in two years.

Lu Ling thought about the situation and said, "Lu Li, don't feel too stressful about the four forces. We have 10 years and I will help you. Maybe I will reach the Earth Immortal Realm in that time. If I can, my Fire Phoenix Flames can burn any Earth Immortal Realm warrior to death."

"Um!"

Lu Li nodded and said with a grin, "Actually, if we can get father and mother out and save Qiuxue, I will be happy to stay in the Deserted World for the rest of my life."

"Hmm!"

Lu Ling disagreed, "You are so mild. When someone bullies us, we must get back at them. We cannot just submit to humiliation. They are just four forces, right? Give me time and I can take control of the Great Land. By that time, I will make you emperor of the Great Land and Lu Zhengtan will kneel to you and apologize."

Lu Li was not used to Lu Ling being so hard-edged and ambitious.

But she was his only sister. He would help with anything she wanted to achieve. Therefore, he nodded after a moment and said, "Okay, let's work together and strive to conquer and dominate the Great Land one day!"
