Chapter 499: Save Her
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The divine energy was meant to be his but Lu Li's silver dragon mark fought it off when the book held by Emperor of Heaven Reverse was giving out lights. After that, the divine energy ended up with Jiang Qiling.
As luck would have it, he got the divine energy back. Lu Li had a question.
Currently, the divine energy was in him but how come the silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond and on his Fate Wheel had no reaction? Wasn't the silver dragon resistant of it? How come it was calm this time?
How should he use divine energy?
Lu Li focused his mind on the strange energy, whose amount was not much. The quantity of divine energy was about the same amount of Xuan Energy he could get in a few hours of cultivation.
Given that the amount of divine energy was not much, if Lu Li were to use it directly, it would be pointless as it would not kill many enemies. Lu Li thought about it and decided to see if it could be absorbed into his Soul Pond.
Jiang Qiling had given him some soul energy as well. His soul was weak but it was strengthened now. Now was the time to see if he could increase the power of his soul attacks. If there was a way to integrate divine energy with soul energy, soul attacks could become intimidating.
Lu Li was a man of vigorous and resolute actions. He diverted divine energy into his soul at once. He didn't rush the divine energy into his Soul Pond at once. Instead, he controlled several strands of divine energy and moved them slowly toward his Soul Pond.
"Buzzing!"
The silver dragon mark suddenly glared. The divine energy that was moving toward his Soul Pond began to surge to the silver dragon uncontrollably till the silver dragon…absorbed all the divine energy.
There were more!
All the remaining divine energy in the space of his soul surged toward the silver dragon. The rest of the divine energy Lu Li had left in his body started to move violently as well. They all rushed toward his mind and then…were absorbed by the silver dragon.
"Sh*t, f*ck!"
Lu Li almost swore out loud. Last time at the Gargoyle Mountain when he was trying to absorb energy from Soul Crystals, the silver dragon took in a large part of it. Lu Li could forget about that. But how valuable was this divine energy?
Divine energy was his last saving straw. If the silver dragon was not in his Soul Pond, he would have dug it out…
But what could he do when the silver dragon mark took in all the divine energy. He kept inspecting the Soul Pond, hoping that the silver dragon mark would feel sorry for him and give the divine energy back to him.
"Buzzing~"
The silver dragon mark kept glaring for an hour before it showed signs of movement. Streaks of pure-white energy surged out from the silver dragon mark and merged into his Soul Pond.
"Um…"
Lu Li's soul was trembling and so was he. Those pure-white energy merged with his soul energy. His soul pond was getting stronger in a speed that he could tell clearly.
Lu Li held his breath and remained still, for fear that he might interrupt the silver dragon from imparting the energy.
Time went on. The silver dragon mark kept generating more pure-white energy and his Soul Pond continued to grow. After nearly an hour, the silver dragon mark finally died own and became motionless again.
"Good heavens~"
Lu Li inspected many times to make sure that his Soul Pond was times larger and his soul energy grew by 10 times. He finally opened his eyes and exhaled in relief.
He rubbed his face and looked at Jiang Qiling who was sleeping next to him to make sure that this was not a dream. Then, he smiled.
He didn't know that had happened exactly but there was one thing for sure. His soul was strong, as strong as or even stronger than that of a warrior of the Noble Lord Realm!
Besides, he felt after being merged with the pure-white energy, his soul energy had become different than normal soul energy. It seemed…his soul had transformed.
"Did the silver dragon mark take in the divine energy, consume it and convert it into a different kind of energy to give to me?"
An idea sprang to Lu Li's mind. It was the only explanation that made sense. Could it be because normal people could not use divine energy that Jiang Qiling failed to put it into use? Did the silver dragon mark knows this so it absorbed the divine energy and consumed it for him?
"I need to try my soul attacks and try to learn a power means!"
Whatever the reason was, it didn't matter now. Lu Li sat for the time for one incense stick to burn to calm down and began cultivation.
…
More than 1500 warriors had gathered in an open land in the center of the small world. There were more coming.
Many tents were built nearby with those of Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan, Die Feiyu, Lu Suan and Lu Ni located in the middle. Ye Luo was nowhere to be found.
Many warriors from families of the northern Central Plains had come to see the young masters and young ladies, pleading for them to send out a troop to go and rescue Jiang Qiling. But Yang Xuan turned all requests down, using the insufficient number of warriors as an excuse.
Yang Xuan stated that he had sent someone to have a look and that the number of four alien races had reached 4000. But he only had 1000 warriors here and he would send everyone to death. Therefore, he concluded that they must wait for more human warriors to gather together before they could make a move.
Warriors from families at the northern Central Plains had to wait in patience while they sent out people to look for more human warriors for help. Many more spent their days in tents on pins and needles in deep anxiety.
With the passing of every day, they would feel more frustrated. There were more human warriors gathering but only two or three hundred of them would come each day. It would take them at least 10 days or half a month to gather 4000 warriors.
Jiang Qiling was the chosen warrior for the future. If she died here, Jiang Wuwo would tear each one of them apart when they went out…
Four days later, 2000 human warriors had gathered up. Yang Xuan, Ji Mengtian, Die Feiyu, Lu Suan and Lu Ni finally left their tents. Yang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go. We won't wait any longer. I know we are at a disadvantage, number-wise but we cannot watch her die without offering any help. We must spare no effort to beat the allied forces of the four alien races and save Lady Jiang!"
"Move!"
Warriors from families of the northern Central Plains rushed out at once. The army marched toward the north. An army of 2000 warriors had the bearing of having 10,000.
"Hmm!"
Lu Lin and Lu Hongyu were in the army as well. They snorted as they saw Lu Suan, Lu Ni and Yang Xuan rushing ahead.
It would take them at least two or three days to arrive at Jiang Qiling's spot. Lu Li and Jiang Qiling had been under siege for nine days. By the time the army arrived, Lu Li and Jiang Qiling would have been long gone.
"Idiot Lu Li!"
Lu Hongyu murmured and said angrily, "I told Ye Luo to warn him. How can he fall into siege? Did that idiot Ye Luo go there too late?"
"Don't blame Young Master Ye."
Lu Lin sighed and said, "He has done everything he can by warning Lu Li under such risk. If he is not in love with you, he will not help Lu Li at the risk of offending Yang Xuan, Lu Suan, Lu Ni, Die Feiyu and Ji Mengtian. We have done our share. If will be up to fate to see if Lu Li can make it."
Lu Hongyu was still angry. She glanced to Lu Suan and others in the distance and said in a low voice, "Lu Suan thought this is a flawless plan. Hmm! Later…if Uncle Renhuang comes back or our Family Patriarch wakes up, Lu Suan will not escape from death."
"Enough!"
Lu Lin scolded her, "We don't have any proof. There is no use in discussing it. If Lu Suan heard this, we would never leave the small battlefield."
Feeling resentful, Lu Hongyu snorted. She looked to the north and murmured again, "Lu Li, you must make it. I don't want the Lu Family to be under the leadership of such a vicious person as Lu Suan. He will only lead us into destruction…"
