More than half of disciples in the City of Feng had been relocated by the time Lu Li was about to arrive.
In the Feng Royal Palace was a portal that was linked directly to their ancestral land. The portal had been sending away Feng Family disciples. In one day, millions had gone through the portal.
That being said, the city still housed a huge crowd of warriors since many members of branches of Feng Family were gathered here as well. Feng Family was a rich and influential one with a history of a million years. The family had expanded into many branches. How many were there in the family? Not even the Feng Family Patriarch could tell.
Lu Li was three hundred thousand miles away from the City of Feng when the Feng Family progenitor sent a message, instructing all warriors in the city to run, turning the City of Feng into a ghost town.
The City of Feng was the capital of Feng Dynasty. Within the city resided disciples of the family. The city was not open for civilians. Therefore, the evacuation had been fast.
When Lu Li arrived at the City of Feng, a huge ancient city that should have a population of hundreds of millions was practically empty.
Lu Li scanned the city using psychic power. The fact made him burst into anger. He had been flying for a day to get here, and now the City of Feng was empty? He smashed the Wicked Bead forcefully at the Feng Royal Palace in a fit of rage.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
Nobody was in the palace. Lu Li flew the Wicked Bead around in there, razing one building after another to the ground. The Feng Family Semi-God Realm warriors stared as it happened. To build the palace was not difficult, but it was the Feng Family’s base camp. The fact that Lu Li was ruining the palace under their nose was burning them up.
Soon, the Royal Palace became a wasteland. Not one single building was intact. All the pavilions, corridors, and gardens were destroyed by Lu Li.
But it was not enough for Lu Li to work off his anger. He flew the Wicked Bead and started to smash at the mansions of distinguished households, mansions that used to belong to some bigger families. Now, the mansions were all unoccupied. Lu Li found them to be eyesores. He hit them one by one and all were damaged.
“Boom!”
A beautiful city was reduced to shambles under Lu Li’s strike. The Feng Family progenitor witnessed the entire event. He made a determined effort and told the Semi-God Realm warriors to keep on striking the Wicked Bead. The city could be rebuilt afterward.
The Semi-God Realm warriors had been teleported over earlier. They initiated attacks, and as they did so, the houses in the city fell into ashes.
Lu Li stopped smashing around since he had found himself with helpers. He flew the Wicked Bead around in the city randomly and left the business of breaking down the City of Feng to the Semi-God Realm warriors.
After the time for three incense sticks to burn, Lu Li flew away from the City of Feng. A huge city that was never breached before turned into ruins today. No single building was left intact in the city. The few people that stayed in the city lost their lives to the attacks of the Semi-God Realm warriors.
“I don’t think Qi Family and the Feng Family are giving up!”
This was a conundrum. The Feng Family didn’t even care about the City of Feng and the death of their own people. Feng Family and Qi Family must be resolute.
Lu Li had left the Zen Mountain, and he could not go back again. What was more, the Zen Mountain didn’t belong to Yin Qingsi but the Crippled Zen Master… and the latter didn’t intend to help Lu Li out…
The Wicked Bead still had ample energy left. However, he could not threaten the Semi-God Realm warriors into a truce. The major families must have transferred their people already and he could not go and murder civilians.
To the Semi-God Realm warriors, the civilians were regarded as worthless. Lu Li could kill billions of them, but the Semi-God Realm warriors would not mind.
Lu Li had thought that he could force them to compromise and to let him go by killing some Feng Family and Qi Family disciples. As of this moment, this attempt seemed to have failed.
Lu Li had lost his bearings. There was nothing he could to the Semi-God Realm warriors. The Wicked Bead would be broken down sooner or later unless he returned to the Zen Mountain.
He flew the Wicked Bead to a random direction. On the way, he kept thinking. He ran into a group of warriors after half a day. The warriors were not running away. Rather, they hid inside a mountain. It was quite a large group with at least ten thousand.
“Kill them!”
They might be from the Feng Family or not. Nevertheless, Lu Li decided to kill them first. He had murdered so many people that his eyes were burning red. He was frustrated by the fact that he could not find a way out and was in desperate need to vent his anger.
The ten thousand warriors had fled from the City of Feng. They were informed of the coming of the Wicked Bead earlier, so they had gone into hiding, hoping that they could escape Lu Li’s search.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
The Wicked Bead pounded on them like a meteor. Hundred were struck to death at ones. Then, the Wicked Bead flew around and grounded all those hiding nearby.
“Spread out. Spread out!”
The Feng Family progenitor recognized that many of them were from branches of the Feng Family. He shouted to warn them. The Feng Family Semi-God Realm warriors felt a lump came into their throat as the view of their family members being smashed to death entered their eyes. This hatred could never be resolved.
More than half of the ten thousand people lost their lives soon. The few alive people fled to all sides. Since it would take a longer time to hunt down them one by one, Lu Li flew the Wicked Bead away.
He was still stuck in trouble because he sensed the five Semi-God Realm warriors were still at his heels. The Feng Family Semi-God Realm warriors seemed to be less concerned about their own people now. Maybe they had become insensitive. Lu Li could kill more people, but he still couldn’t make the pursuers change their mind.
What was more, the elites must have been relocated. Those left should be the less talented ones or born in family branches. Of course, they did not matter as much to the Semi-God Realm warriors.
Killing… was pointless now!
Lu Li sunk into deep thought. What else could he leverage to threaten those old guys?
Lu Li saw Leng Wuxin in the hall. Something came to his mind. He asked, “Leng Wuxin, what else do you think the Semi-God Realm warriors of the Feng Family will value apart from their people?”
Leng Wuxin had no idea what had happened outside. Upon hearing Lu Li’s question, she gave it some serious consideration. Then, she answered, “Ancestral lands!”
The other Earth Immortal Realm warriors nodded in agreement. For superfamilies, ancestral lands were the most crucial because they mattered to the life of a family. The family would be destroyed completely when its ancestral land was ruined.
When the ancestral land was still in existence, the family could gradually rise again even after their disciples outside were all murdered. The family could kill their way back to the universe again.
Lu Li replied, “Then, can I go to Feng Family’s ancestral land?”
Leng Wuxin shook her head. “No. Nobody can go in except for Feng Family people. Once the ancestral land access is opened to relocate their disciples, the passageway will be destroyed soon afterward. You can only go into the ancestral land of the Feng Family if you can gather a group of powerful Semi-God Realm warriors and break the space barrier,” said Leng Wuxin.
This was an answer Lu Li had been expecting. He sighed and asked again, “What else? Anything more other than the ancestral land?”
Leng Wuxin frowned as she thought. Uncle Nine of Hao Family suddenly had an idea. “There are blessed lands!”
“Yes!”
The other Earth Immortal Realm warriors nodded and agreed. “Blessed lands are what the families value the most apart from their ancestral lands.”
“What are blessed lands?” Lu Li felt his hope rekindled.
A Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior explained to him, “Blessed lands are naturally formed lands of treasure. Valuable Mystical Materials can grow out constantly. These lands are cherished by the families, but the blessed lands usually are well-hidden and not known to the outside.”
Lu Li turned to the three Earth Immortal Realm warriors he had just captured. They were sent by the Feng Family, and Lu Li had turned them into his soul slave.
The three were in a corner, still recovering from their wounds. Lu Li asked, “Do the three of you know about Feng Family and Qi Family blessed lands?”
Two of them were so badly wounded that they could not even talk. The other one replied, “I only know that the Feng Family have 18 blessed lands. But I don’t know… where they are exactly. The Feng Family Patriarch should know. We do not have access to this information.”
“18 blessed lands!”
A glint of hope was kindled in Lu Li’s heart. Blessed lands that were so well-hidden that not even the Semi-God Realm warriors knew must be significant for the Feng Family.
He deliberated about the idea. “Get ready. Later on, help me and let us capture a Feng Family’s Earth Immortal Realm warrior. Their own Earth Immortal Realm warrior must know the location of their blessed lands!”
