The Invincible Dragon Emperor

The five years left little mark on Jiang Qiling’s appearance. The same could be said for Lu Ling, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang. They had reached a high realm while they were young. Currently, their life spans was more than one thousand years. Naturally, they aged little.

While her looks didn’t change, Jiang Qiling’s realm had gone through tremendous transformation. Jiang Qiling had come with a group of four and all five were Earth Immortal Realm warriors. In other words—she had reached the Earth Immortal Realm.

Since Jiang Qiling was about the same age as Lu Li, she was in her early twenties. The fact that she had already reached the Earth Immortal Realm stunned many in the city.

When Lu Renhuang reached the Human Sovereign Realm at the age of 20, he was acclaimed as a talent rarely seen in one hundred thousand years. But Jiang Qiling had arrived at the Earth Immortal Realm when she was merely 23 or 24. Nobody, other than Emperor Heaven Reverse and the other chosen warriors, could ever compete with Jiang Qiling.

The future chosen warrior for humans!

Many came to terms with the fact because Jiang Qiling was pointed the future chosen warrior for humans. Having received divine energy from Emperor Heaven Reverse, she already had a higher chance of becoming a real chosen warrior. She had always been talented and had only squandered away a few years because she had sunk into despair. It was within reason that she could reach the Earth Immortal Realm in over five years if she had been cultivating with her utmost effort.

“Jiang Wuwo?”

Ji Ao’xian was surprised to see that Jiang Wuwo was standing behind Jiang Qiling. Jiang Wuwo was Family Patriarch of the Jiang Family. Shouldn’t he lead the team?

Ji Ao’xian remembered the joint announcement issued by the Great Buddhist Temple, the Pavilion of Delicacy, the Tumulus of Universe, the Palace of Immortals Inquiries and the Red Moon. He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Could it be…

Could it be that Jiang Qiling was the master of the Pavilion of Delicacy? Had she become the Family Patriarch of the Jiang Family?

Jiang Qiling flew over and arrived at Lu Ling’s side. Instead of talking to Ji Ao’xian, she bowed to Lu Ling with respect and said, “I am honored to meet you, Sister Lu Ling. Nice to meet you, Sister Qiuxue.”

Lu Ling put on a delighted smile. She knew what had happened between Jiang Qiling and Lu Li. “It’s good to see you as well, Sister Qiling. My brother is fortunate to have a friend like you.”

Bai Qiuxue knew the story as well. “Nice to see you, Sister Qiling,” said Bai Qiuxue.

Jiang Qiling nodded to them as a respond. “Master Ji, a month ago, I was officially pointed the Family Patriarch of the Jiang Family. Now, I am speaking to you on behalf of the Jiang Family. Let them go or you shall never see the end of the feud between the Pavilion of Delicacy and your four forces,” said Jiang Qiling to Ji Ao’xian.

“What~”

A chorus of reaction swept across the plaza.

Jiang Qiling had mobilized Xuan Energy when she spoke so her voice was heard all over the city. She was a girl in her twenties. The fact that she reached the Earth Immortal Realm was stunning already. Nobody would expect the Jiang Family to be so crazy as to name her the Family Patriarch.

What was more, Jiang Qiling had announced that she would make an enemy of the four forces. The shocking fact was that—not only didn’t Jiang Wuwo stop her, he was actually helping her?

The Pavilion of Delicacy would face eternal doom if they could not win the fight against the four forces. It was not unlikely that the Pavilion of Delicacy could be wiped out completely and disappear into the history. Had the seniors of the Jiang Family lost their minds?

All the big families had strict mechanisms. There were Halls of Patriarchs. When the Family Patriarch took insane actions, Hall of Patriarchs was entitled to oust the Family Patriarch so that the family would not descend into an abyss of misery just because the Family Patriarch’s craziness.

Jiang Qiling had always been a passionate girl and she could do anything for Lu Li. It was nothing unusual. But what is happening to the Jiang Family seniors and Jiang Wuwo?

“What…”

Ji Mengtian, Lu Suan, Lu Ni, Yang Xuan and others were still fighting against the Walking Puppets at city west. They had all stopped their actions. As they looked toward the city plaza, they found themselves in utter shock.

Ji Mengtian felt frustrated. She had thought that her cultivation was progressing fast enough and that she was still the most celebrated young lady of the Central Plains. But Jiang Qiling had come and crushed her fantasy. Not only had Jiang Qiling reached the Earth Immortal Realm, she had become the Family Patriarch. Ji Mengtian wasn’t even qualified enough to talk to Jiang Qiling now…

Lu Suan, Lu Ni, Yang Xuan and Yang Yu were burning with jealousy. Not only Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang had fallen for Lu Li, but how come a lady like Jiang Qiling was so crazy about Lu Li?

Lu Suan and Yang Xuan kept asking themselves what they lacked compared to Lu Li. Why was that bastard so worthwhile? Why those beautiful women were all sacrificing their lives for him?

“Ha, ha, ha~”

Ji Ao’xian laughed a sarcastic laugh. “Jiang Wuwo, Jiang Nijun, are you sure that you want to make the four forces of ours an enemy of the Pavilion of Delicacy? You’d better think it over. If you lost, there would be no more Pavilion of Delicacy at the Central Plains,” said Ji Ao’xian to Jiang Wuwo and another Earth Immortal Realm warrior.

That Great Patriarch, Jiang Nijun, said nothing. Jiang Wuwo forced a smile and said, “Qiling now is our Family Patriarch. I have stepped down. She represents the Pavilion of Delicacy now.”

“Alright then!”

“Master Xiao, Master Che the Terror, come on out!”

“Whoosh~”

From a castle came out eight people. Four of them were average human beings wearing beautiful robes. They were of various ages but all were at the Earth Immortal Realm.

The other four, though, were evidently not humans. They were of a special race. Their looks were more than ugly. Their teeth propped out and so were their cheekbones. They had no hair covering their foreheads. Around their necks hung a cluster of skulls, which made them appear more horrifying and disgusting.

Xiao Wanjun, Che the Terror!

Jiang Wuwo and Jiang Nijun were horrified to hear the news. Xiao Wanjun was the Master of Life League and Che the Terror was the Master of the Yaksha Race. How those two forces could were involved?

Now, the four forces had become six, with the total number of Earth Immortal Realm warriors reaching over 20. Some of them were fighting the Walking Puppets. But if they freed themselves from those fights, they could come at Lu Ling, Jiang Qiling and Jiang Wuwo at any time.

It had become more suffocating in the city. The battle was on the verge of breaking out. If Jiang Qiling would not retreat, the five Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the Pavilion of Delicacy could all perish in the city today.

“Could you please not fight?”

A delicate voice was heard. From the north came two people, two bald people. One of them was a monk and the other a nun. The monk was very old. His face was covered with age pigment.

The nun was very young. She was only about 10 years old. Her face was delicate, like porcelain. Her watery eyes blinked, stirring up tender care from others. Nobody would have the heart to hurt her.

The monk flew over with the nun to Lu Ling and Jiang Qiling. The nun made a zen gesture and said, “I am Prajna, dear sisters. Where is Brother Lu Li?”

Lu Ling had heard stories about Prajna. The former couldn’t help but care for her when she saw such a pretty nun. She took Prajna’s hands and said, “Prajna, it is not a suitable place for you. Go back now. When Lu Li comes back, I will tell him to hang out with you.”

“No!”

Prajna shook her head stubbornly. “You are all Brother Lu Li’s friends and family. I cannot sit around when you are in trouble.”

Now the Great Buddhist Temple was getting involved, even though it was just one Earth Immortal Realm warrior and a nun. Ji Ao’xian felt cornered. “Master Tranquility, is the Great Buddhist Temple going to rival against us as well?”

“May the Buddha preserve us!”

The monk said the prayer face before he continued, “The Abbot has told me to protect Prajna. I am acting lone and not representing the Great Buddhist Temple.”

“Okay!”

Ji Ao’xian yelled, “You asked for it yourself. Today, you will all be buried here in the Samsara City. You want to save them with so few of you? You wish!”

“How about me?”

A thundering roar came out. From the south came a golden blur. The man carried a golden spear in his hands, like a god of war. He dashed over like a sword. Before he came close, a surge of intimidating energy had spread across.

“Mystic Armor? It is… golden? It is the ninth rank Mystic Armor, the ultimate one! Earth Immortal Realm?”

Lu Zhengtan, Lu Tiandi, Lu Fenghuo, and Lu Liantian were all taken aback. The man’s armor was no Quasi Relic. It was from the Mystic Armor Bloodline Skill of the Lu Family.

All the powerful warriors of the Lu Family had come, except for Great Patriarch and Great Grandfather Five. Now, an unfamiliar Lu Family warrior whose Mystic Armor was at the ninth rank had come. Of the entire Lu Family, merely one person could he be.

Lu Renhuang, who had gone off the grid for 23 years, had finally come!
