Chapter 524: Which Lady Jiang?
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
"I am a Barbarian Race sinner!"
Rui the Iron was regretful. The Barbarian Race only had few Quasi Relic which were incredibly valuable. Rui the Iron's father would skin him to know that he had lost one of them. If his father learned that he had given one to a human who could actually use it, his father would break his bones and pull out his tendon…
The human side would be more powerful now that Lu Li could use the Quasi Relic. He was still young. When he grew up and had the chance to go the Demon-slaying Grounds, it would be a nightmare for the other four races.
The more he thought about it, the more regretful and fearful Rui the Iron was. When he went back to the Northern Land of Barbarians, he would end up miserably. He might not be killed but his lives would not be comfortable…
"Hmm!"
Having no response from Rui the Iron for a while, Lu Li was getting a bit angry. He shouted coldly, "Will you tell me or not? If no, I will put you and all the barbarians in but I will not kill you. I will bring you back to the Central Plains and I will not break my oath. By that time, I will ask our powerful warrior to chop you and make you a filling for dumplings."
Rui the Iron was indecisive. After a while, he made up his mind and said, "You can elevate the power of the Ding of Barbarian God. It's the same with Quasi Relics you humans have. But if you want to increase the power, you must elevate your realm first, of which I cannot offer help. If you reach the Human Sovereign Realm, you will be able to kill Human Sovereign Realm warriors with it."
Lu Li frowned. It was Little White that was controlling the Ding of Barbarian God. Could Little White improve its realm? How would a Xuan Beast cultivate?
Lu Li stared at Rui the Iron coldly and said, "You are telling the truth? You know the result if you feed me with a lie."
Rui the Iron answered with a sour face and a shook of his head, "How can I have the guts to lie to you?"
"Okay!"
Lu Li asked Little White to fly the Ding of Barbarian God to the open land and said, "Tell your barbarians to pour more energy into it to strengthen it. Or I will not be able to use it when the energy runs out."
"Eh?"
This caught Rui the Iron's attention. Lu Li did not know to absorb power from nature? There was an Inhibition Formation in the Ding of Barbarian God that when activated could take power from heaven and earth. Last time, the barbarians were pouring in energy just to increase the power of thunderbolts.
Rui the Iron thought quickly. Soon, he answered with a bitter smile, "Human, my barbarians have poured in enough energy last time for you to use over a long term. They don't have too much in store. Just let us go."
"Don't try to waste your breath. Let them pour energy in or I will put you away into it!" Lu Li wouldn't worry about too many things. He pressed him ferociously.
"Alright!"
Rui the Iron was speechless. He called over teams of barbarians to pour energy into the Ding of Barbarian God from the distance. Secretly, he felt pleased.
Lu Li didn't know how to use nature's power. After a while, then the energy in the Quasi Relic ran out, it would be a useless tripod Ding.
"Swish, swish~"
Countless electric arcs were discharged and shot into the Ding of Barbarian God. Ye Luo and Lu Hongyu at the distance were left breathless with awe and shock.
Lu Li had dominated over so many barbarians all by himself and he was even ordering them to do things for him. This was never heard of.
Barbarians were pouring in energy which made it miserable for those inside. All of a sudden, the thunderbolts became more powerful and electric arcs were dancing around. The gang began screaming and shouting.
Die Feiyu was freaked out, thinking that Lu Li had increased the power because he was enraged. At this rate, none of them could survive. Soon, they would all turn into burnt flesh.
Yang Xuan and Lu Ni were terrified as well when they sensed the increased power. They felt they could not escape fate this time and all hope had lost.
Once again, Lu Suan fell to the ground. Ji Mengtian collapsed as well. Sophisticated as they were, there were fear in the depth of their eyes even though they usually kept their feelings to themselves. Nobody wanted to die. The two were in the prime of their lives. How could they succumb to death like this?
After the time for three incense sticks to burn…
Lu Li finally remembered this. He inspected with his psychic power and was surprised by what he saw. The power of thunderbolts had increased. If he really forgot all of them, after two hours, those inside would become a pile of charcoal.
Lu Li told Little White to stop the thunderbolts discharges inside in a hurry. Those inside could hardly keep their eyes open for they were badly wounded. A young lady of the Pavilion of Blossoms and an attendant of Ji Mengtian were dead. Only seven were alive.
Die Feiyu was so severely injured that she could not use Source of Life Bloodline Skill. The rest had to use Xuan Energy to heal themselves. After one hour, Die Feiyu finally felt better so she used her Bloodline skill again to help others.
Soon, Ji Mengtian sat up, and so did Yang Xuan and Lu Suan, Lu Ni. This time, though, nobody was verbally abusing Lu Li anymore. They all sat in silence, knowing that they were the captives. It was pointless to hurl profanities at Lu Li, which would only enrage him and they would have to suffer more.
More than 2000 barbarians spent one day and a half to pour in energy before Rui the Iron told them to stop. He cupped his fists and said to Lu Li, "My people can barely hold up. They have poured most of their thunderbolt energy in. It will be enough for you to use more than a dozen of years."
"Fine!"
Lu Li could tell that many barbarians were sickly and fatigue. He asked Little White to take back the Ding of Barbarian God and left with Ye Luo and Lu Hongyu.
This time, Lu Li didn't take his time. He was worried about Jiang Qiling so he flew back to the base camp on his Fate Wheel at the top of his speed, taking Ye Luo and Lu Hongyu with him.
"How fast…"
Ye Luo and Lu Hongyu looked at each other speechlessly. They had an idea of Lu Li being strong but they never expected that he was this strong. He was even faster than a warrior at the initial stage of the Human Sovereign Realm.
Lu Li told Little White to leave the Ding of Barbarian God outside. Every now and then, he would inspect the situation. There were no thunderbolts released right now. But if those people were misbehaving in there, Lu Li wouldn't mind giving them some more…
The three of them flew through day and night in a direct line at the top speed. At this rate, it would take them four or five days at most to arrive at the base camp.
Two days later, they had covered half of the journey back. All of a sudden, a man was rushing over from the distance. He found Lu Li and Ye Luo and yelled from afar.
"Ye Jian?"
Ye Luo was surprised and said to Lu Li, "He is from my family. Lu Li, stop here."
Lu Li stopped the Fate Wheel. Ye Luo hopped in front of Ye Jian and asked, "Ye Jian? How come you are alone? Here is the rest? What has happened?"
Ye Jian was leading a team of his own with seven or eight men. However, he was alone now and covered in blood. Ye Luo could tell something was wrong.
Hearing Ye Luo's questions of concern, Ye Jian burst into tears. Sobbing, he said, "Dead, they are all dead. They were all killed by Yang Qi, Ji Nu just now."
"What?"
Ye Luo's eyes reddened. Lu Li and Lu Hongyu gathered around as well. Since Ye Jian didn't know them, he didn't pay much attention.
He went on in tears, "A group of people from the Hades Society, Samsara Palace, Pavilion of Blossoms and the Lu Family were gathering up to attack Lady Jiang. We were just nearby. I thought that you and Lady Jiang have a good relationship so I tried to talk them out of it. Little did I know that Yang Qi would attack us as well…"
Lu Li's eyes were wide open. He tensed up like an angry lion. He interrupted and yelled, "Which Lady Jiang? Jiang Qiling?"
"Yes!"
Since Lu Li was with Ye Luo, Ye Jiang could tell he was important so he nodded and answered with respect. Lu Li flew back onto his Fate Wheel, picked Ye Jian up with one hand while shouted, "Show me the way, now!"
Ye Luo hopped onto the Fate Wheel as well and said in a hurry, "Lead the way now!"
"That way~"
Ye Jian pointed to the northwest and said with indignation, "300 miles that way. There are more than 100 of them. When I left, more than half of the 40 with Lady Jiang had died. I don't know the situation now."
