The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 615: A Drastic Solution

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Four forces in the Serenity Plains mobilized an army of ten million, including nine Human Sovereign Realm warriors and 5000 at the Noble Lord Realm.

Powerful warriors of the four forces sallied out in full strength. All the Human Sovereign Realm warriors were on the move. They were not here to have fun. They were here to uproot Lu Ling and occupy the prosperous land that was the Clouds Plains.

Lu Li and Ye Hu arrived at the Drifting Cloud City via Teleportation Formation. It was depressing in the city. Many civilians formerly relocated before the previous war came back. Many had ran again this time. The city seemed to be deserted.

Lu Li found Lu Ling easily with psychic power. She was playing Chinese zither in the back area leisurely. She closed her eyes and moved her head along with the music, quite carefree.

"Ha!"

Lu Li was more at ease now, seeing the state of Lu Ling. He walked toward the back area with Ye Hu. By the time Lu Li arrived, Lu Ling had just finished one song. She looked at Lu Li with a smile and said, "You reached the peak of the Eternal Realm? I think you will need at least half a year to build your Bead of Life, right?"

Lu Li nodded and said, "I have Rising Dragon Grass but I do need to stabilize my realm or else I could fail. I will need at least four or five months. Sis, everything is ready?"

Lu Ling nodded and poured him a cup of tea. She looked at Ye Hu who left on cue. Then she said, "When the Serenity Plains was sending over their troops, I had already started the plan. Without any surprise, we will be able to occupy Serenity Plains after this."

"Um…"

Lu Li was taken aback. He thought that it would be nice for them to defeat the Serenity Plains' army. Never had he expected that Lu Ling was planning to take over the entire Serenity Plains.

He had no doubt of Lu Ling's abilities. Still, he voiced his concern, "Serenity Plains and Clouds Plains are both large. If we take both, will it backfire at us from the Central Plains?"

Controlling Serenity Plains and Clouds Plains would make a super force, posing threats to the 12 Royal Families in the Central Plains. Back in the days, the Palace of Blossoms had occupied three plains and developed. Eventually, the Palace of Blossoms found a place at the Central Plains.

"It will be fine during the first eight or nine years!"

Lu Ling answered with a gentle smile, "After eight or nine years, the four forces including the Samsara Palace are sure to launch attacks at us. During this time, however, the 12 Royal Families will not bully us publicly. If so, why should we be afraid of them? Why don't we expand? The stronger we are, the more influential we will be and the four forces will be more bonded to take actions. We need to make the best of the next eight or nine years and develop fast so that we can compete with the four forces!"

"Right!"

Lu Li was convinced. He asked, "When will you draw in the net? Not even warriors of the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm can catch up with me. If I can manage a surprise attack, I can even kill warriors at the initial stage of the Human Sovereign Realm in one move. Let me go with the army when you are ready to fight."

"That fast?" Lu Ling was surprised. She thought for a bit and said, "It will be half a month before I draw in the net. Spend some time cultivating. I will make plans for you."

Lu Ling was concerned about Lu Li's safety. That being said, without participating in real-life battles, a warrior could never grow to be a powerful one.

Lu Ling was a resolute and cruel person. She was merciless on enemies and on herself. When she was a girl, she could scare off Di Hu by cutting flesh off her thigh. Now that she had decided to let Lu Li grow in battles, she wouldn't worry too much. It was already settled that Lu Li would fight in this war.

Lu Li was relieved to learn that he was allowed to fight. He minded nothing else. He trusted Lu Ling completely and believed that the ultimate outcome of the war was predetermined.

…

Lu Li spent 10 days in closed-door cultivation. Then he was woken up by a person sent by Lu Ling. She didn't come to see him and only sent a message for him to go with Hu Lang and that Hu Lang would tell him everything.

"Going to the Serenity Plains?"

Hu Lang brought Lu Li and 100 warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm to a castle to be teleported to the entrance of the Deserted World at the Serenity Plains. Lu Li was confused by the arrangement but soon understood.

Taking away the firewood from under the cauldron!

Serenity Plains was the base for the four forces. All the Human Sovereign Realm warriors had gone to the Clouds Plains with the army. The Serenity Plains was basically with no defense. Hu Lang, Lu Li and the 100 Noble Lord Realm warriors could make a clean sweep at the Serenity Plains.

When the rear area was in chaos, morale ratings in the army would drop. Serenity Plains would have to send powerful warriors back to reinforce. By that time, Lu Ling could ambush them and then deal with the powerful warriors one by one.

Armies from the Serenity Plains had occupied half of the territories of the Clouds Plains. That big a land would stretch out the armies and disperse them.

Once the Serenity Plains descend into chaos, Lu Ling would begin her counter attack. She would be at home at the Clouds Plains. Her enemies' battle line was too stretched. Warriors of the Clouds Plains could sneak around wherever they wanted. Uprisings of war would be everywhere. Serenity Plains' armies would be deeply troubled, at a loss and between two fires…

"Move!"

Lu Li's confidence was boosted. Lu Ling was very proficient in strategy. She had known the chess board that was the Clouds Plains too well. The dragon that was the Serenity Plains would be gnawed away bit by bit till all of it was gone by entering the Clouds Plains so rashly.

"Let's go to the north!"

After everything was teleported over, Hu Lang flew out toward the north with them.

The two forces at north Serenity Plains were all jackals for the Samsara Palace. When the lairs of the two forces were under attack, news would be sent to the front line immediately.

The two forces at south didn't want to invade the Clouds Plains at the beginning. When they learned the news, their morale would drop. They would be worried about their own territory and there was a chance that they would fall back soon.

Teleportation Formation was located in the north, less than three million miles from the major city of a force at the north, the Yama Palace.

Hu Lang led the team and pressed forward day and night. They didn't go into any cities and they would pick the most remote areas. They killed all the scouts they met along the way.

In less than two days, they had arrived at the Yama City. It was quite here. Not even the city protection shield was open. Nobody assumed that Lu Li would be here to attack.

The south Clouds Plains was under siege. There were warriors and scouts from the Serenity Plains everywhere. Theoretically speaking, it would be difficult for warriors of the Clouds Plains to sneak into the Serenity Plains.

But the Serenity Plains didn't know that there was a Teleportation Formation here linked to the Drifting Cloud Hall directly build over a year ago…

"Hoy!"

Hu Lang generated a phantom of a hand and smashed at the city. Dozens of castles were crushed and the thousands in there died.

"Charge! Don't kill civilians but spare no warriors!"

Hu Lang was a merciless man. He roared and took the lead, rushing into the main hall of the Yama Palace.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

The city descended into chaos. Many warriors flew up. Most powerful warriors had gone to the Serenity Plains and only hundreds of Noble Lord Realm warriors were staying here with no Human Sovereign Realm warriors.

Lu Li inspected with psychic power. He had lost the desire to make a move. The city was heavily populated with at least 10 million civilians and hundreds of thousands of warriors but there was no Human Sovereign Realm warriors.

Hu Lang, on the other hand, was at the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm. He was like a hungry wolf in a flock of sheep. One could image the result…

"Boom, boom, boom, boom~"

The 100 Noble Lord Realm warriors launched indiscriminate attacks and many civilians were manslaughter. Lu Li couldn't bear this. He said, "Pay attention. Civilians are innocent. Don't kill them."

"Yes!"

Being the State Councilor of the Cloud Prowess Empire and Lu Ling's brother, Lu Li enjoyed a high prestige. The 100 peak Noble Lord Realm warriors were afraid to disobey him. They began to mind their actions.

"Charge—"

Lu Li took out his divine weapon of Dragon King and generated dozens of clones and joined the fight. He knew the longer the fight went on, the more civilians would be murdered. To reduce the civilian casualties, he had to defeat the army of Yama Palace soon and take control of the situation.
