The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 379: Incoming Attack

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Ever since Lu Li learned that he was a disciple of the Lu Family, he had been longing to come back. He and Lu Ling would do anything to be back at the Mystic Armor City and ask powerful warriors of the Lu Family to save their parents.

From the Di Long Tribe to Lu Ling County, then to the Thousand-island Lake... He traveled for quite some distance before arriving at the Central Plains. Moreover, he was forced to the Wicked Sorcery Mountain, fell to the Gargoyle Mountain, and then was hunted down by the Song Family…

Lu Li had endured so many hardships and escaped deaths on so many occasions to be back at the Mystic Armor City.

However…

The actual Lu Family was different than what Lu Li had imagined it would be like. Lu Family members weren't like what Lu Li had thought, either. He and those people came from the same family and they had the same kind of blood running in their veins. Those should be his close relatives. He had his grandpa here, uncles, cousins and many more with the same kind of blood.

But he was downhearted by how those people treated him. What happened this time had disappointed him completely. He was okay being the target, but he was not okay of his aunt falling into a trap, a lady that had already been hurt for so many times.

This was not the Lu Family that he would have wanted. He was not used to the politics at the Mystic Armor Mountain. He didn't feel at home living here. Instead, he spent his days in trepidation. He had to look out for people that wanted to hurt him and set him up, and now he was missing the Northern Desert!

He was free there. He was the leader of the most powerful force at the Northern Desert. It was an open world whereas the Lu Family was like a prison, just as the literal one he was in right now.

Therefore, as far as Lu Li was concerned, to be exiled was better than living here forever. Of course, Lu Li would not allow himself to be seized without a fight. If he had a chance, he would definitely flee.

Lu Ling went missing and he could turn to nobody to help Lu Renhuang. It was pointless to stay longer at the Lu Family. On the contrary, living here felt suffocating.

Lu Lin and Lu Hongyu wanted to comfort Lu Li but there was nothing they could say. They looked at Lu Li for a while and then left, shaking their heads.

When they were about to go out, Lu Hongyu turned back and threw Lu Li a glance. She looked at his young but stubborn face and his eyes as bright as the start. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind—maybe the Lu Family had made the biggest mistake ever by treating Lu Li in such a way…

…

The Mystic Armor Mountain was quiet the next few days and the city calmed down as well.

The patriarchs of the External Clan were satisfied with the result. Patriarch Eight, Patriarch Four and Patriarch Five desired to do something but there was nothing they could do.

Patriarch Eight went to see Great Patriarch but the later didn't open his door to the former. Patriarch Eight knew that Great Patriarch belonged to the entire Lu Family. Even if he favored Lu Li in his heart, he had to choose to be silent and stay out of this under the current circumstances.

Once Great Patriarch made a move, more people would lose their belief in the Lu Family that was already in turmoil.

One day passed, and then two, three, four!

What Lu Hongyu and Lu Lin suspected didn't happen. Lu Renhuang didn't show up. Lu Zhengyang didn't wake up. It would seem that there was nothing that could be done.

On the fifth day, Lu Li was escorted and sent away to an Iron-armored Ship. Lu Tianhe, Patriarch Feng, and another patriarch at the Human Sovereign Realm sent Lu Li to Omen Island in person along with 10 warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm.

Lu Feixue had calmed down and she said nothing, but she smiled mockingly. Lu Fenghuo didn't come. The only ones here to bid them goodbye were Patriarch Eight, Patriarch Four, Patriarch Five, Lu Hongyu and Lu Lin.

Of course, there were some other Lu Family disciples but they didn't show themselves. They stood in alleyways yards away and stared at the Iron-armored Ship in midair silently.

Lu Li was still chained up by the Demon Trapping Chains. He stood at the deck, gazed into the fortresses and buildings on the Mystic Armor Mountain and the building in the city. Suddenly, he broke into laughter and said, "Ha, ha, ha, grandpa, I am sorry that I cannot even see you. If I can come out of this alive, I will level the Mystic Armor Mountain when I come back and I will kneel to you to ask for forgiveness!"

Patriarch Eight, Patriarch Four, and Patriarch Five looked at each other but said nothing. They wanted to, and yet they could not find the words to say. After all, there was nothing they could do now and comforting words were useless right now.

"Let's go!"

Lu Tianhe looked unhappy. He was afraid that Lu Li was going to say other unreasonable things. He urged people to control the Iron-armored Ship to go towards the south. At the same time, a warrior at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm contained Lu Li. If he said anything else, his mouth would be covered up at once.

Ming Yu appeared to be calm. It was Lu Renhuang that saved his life so he could die without any complaints. On the other hand, Yu Huashen was getting a bit agitated. He was only Lu Li's slave and he was about to lose his life now. That being said, what could he do? What could he say? He might be killed on the spot if he didn't control his mouth.

The Iron-armored Ship soon flew away and vanished into the southern sky. Patriarch Eight, Patriarch Four, and Patriarch Five's eyes dimmed down and they seemed to feel guilty.

If Lu Zhengyang woke up, they wouldn't know how to answer to him.

…

The sun was scorching hot. The Mystic Armor City was getting further and further away. Somehow, Lu Li was in a better mood as he felt he was in the open sky, free from the prison.

His eyes flickered. He glanced over to Lu Tianhe, Patriarch Feng, and the other patriarch of the Human Sovereign Realm. He frowned as he worked hard, trying to figure a way out.

Clearly, the three patriarchs were on the same side as Lu Zhengtan. Otherwise, they wouldn't be here. If there were only several warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm, Lu Li still had some possibility to beat them. Little White could chew the chains off and he could make a move at once.

But since there were three warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm here, the idea of making a move didn't even come up in Lu Li's mind. As soon as the Force Field was activated, he couldn't even move and he would have to wait for his death.

Lu Li and the other three were kept in a cabin with five warriors of the peak of Noble Lord Realm guarding them. Lu Li couldn't even ask Lu Feixue about the Omen Island.

The Iron-armored Ship was not large but it was fast. Clearly, it was specially made. Lu Li thought about it and asked a warrior at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm, "What is your name? How long will it take us to get to the Omen Island?"

The warrior showed no emotions. He answered after a pause, "Two days."

Seeing that Lu Li was about to ask another question, Lu Feixue shook her head and said bitterly, "Lu Li, don't ask. It is pointless. We can only fight for our lives in the Omen Island. It will be dependent on luck to see if we can survive. I am sorry to put you in so much trouble…"

"Aunt, it's okay."

Lu Li moved closer to Lu Feixue, smiled and continued, "Trust me. I can walk out of the Wicked Sorcery Mountain, and I can walk out of the Omen Island as well."

Lu Li dropped his questions. Lu Feixue had conveyed to him in a vague way that they could not flee on the way. They could only fight for their chances at the Omen Island.

Lu Li was a decisive person. He wasted no time and started restoring his energy and spirit. He would worry about it when they arrived at the Omen Island.

It was a calm trip. After all, this was an Iron-armored Ship from the Lu Family. Who would dare to attack it? Lu Tianhe and the other two patriarchs had been sitting in three cabins nearby. Instead of resting or cultivating, they had been on a look-out.

It was not Lu Li that they were fearful of but… Lu Renhuang!

Lu Lin and Lu Hongyu had guessed right. Lu Fenghuo had been doubting that Lu Renhuang came back secretly. Lu Li was just a cover. This time, actually, only one patriarch of the Human Sovereign Realm would be enough to send Lu Li to the Omen Island. Lu Fenghuo had sent three in case Lu Renhuang came.

Time pressed on. The Iron-armored Ship crossed rivers and mountains. Finally, the night came.

Lu Tianhe and the others became more vigilant. They had been investigating their surroundings with their psychic power. Any tiny signs of disturbance would alarm them.

"Buzzing~"

Right at that moment, a surge of strong psychic power spread from the mountain down below, as if a giant boulder was thrown into a calm lake. The strong psychic power surged like tides of waves and rippled. At once, it locked on every person.

Lu Tianhe was alarmed. He stood up with Xuan Energy glaring over him. He took out a huge golden axe and the black Bloodline mark on his neck glowed. He rushed out from his cabin and yelled, "Incoming attack—"
