“That would work!”
Leng Wuxin nodded. “Usually, patriarchs of the families are Earth Immortal Realm warriors. Semi-God Realm warriors normally will not engage in managing family affairs. If you can capture a Feng Family patriarch, you will be able to find the 18 blessed lands of the Feng Family.”
Lu Li asked another question after some thought, “Leng Wuxin, say I can destroy Feng Family’s 18 blessed lands. What do you suppose their Semi-God Realm warriors will do?”
“They will be hopping mad. Blessed lands are Feng Family’s foundations. When they are ruined, Feng Family will be greatly undermined. Blessed lands are unique fields of fortune. Not even when two dynasties are in war will they go and destroy each other’s blessed lands. The blow to the Feng Family will be fatal if you really can take down their 18 blessed lands.”
“Good!”
Lu Li decided to give it a go whether the action could threaten the Feng Family or not. He wandered around in the neighborhood, looking for Earth Immortal Realm patriarchs of the Feng Family.
There were many people around nearby. They were all warriors that had fled the City of Feng. However, Earth Immortal Realm were few and far between. Lu Li had been wandering around for a while, but he didn’t see any Earth Immortal Realm. He did encounter many regular warriors who were all crushed to death by him.
“Let’s go back to the City of Feng.”
Lu Li believed that the Feng Family would have Earth Immortal Realm in the city to deal with the aftermath. He gave up on chasing warriors in this area. He turned around and flew to the City of Feng.
“What?”
The five Semi-God Realm warriors were confused by the fact that Lu Li had turned around instead of going after more warriors. The Feng Family progenitor asked, “Do we have any disciples of family branches living in cities of that direction?”
Brother three of Feng Family nodded and replied, “There are several small cities, but I don’t think there are many still there.”
“Send them a message and let them go. Tell them not to gather in the city. Spread out on their way. Do not stay in crowds of thousands or tens of thousands,” instructed the Feng Family progenitor.
Cities around the City of Feng resided disciples of Feng Family branches. Many of the disciples would lose their lives if Lu Li went and attacked the cities one by one.
They were not far away from the City of Feng at the moment. In the time for a few incense sticks to burn, Lu Li had arrived. He used psychic power to check. As he expected, he found some Earth Immortal Realm warriors in the rubbles, conducting rescuing and rehabilitating efforts.
“What is he doing back? Retreat!”
An Earth Immortal Realm warrior shouted when he saw the Wicked Bead flying back. Those Earth Immortal Realm warriors were indeed patriarchs of the Feng Family. They were here to deal with the mess.
The Earth Immortal Realm warriors were not scared of being smashed by the Wicked Bead. It had been proven that the Wicked Bead could only hurt them, but not kill them. They had been pounded by the Wicked Bead many times before.
“Whoosh~”
The Wicked Bead came at the shouting Earth Immortal Realm warrior at a high speed. The Earth Immortal Realm warrior dashed away and dodged the hit.
However…
The Wicked Bead came to a sudden stop next to the Earth Immortal Realm warrior. A Feather Wind dragon came out and surrounded him.
Since there were people around, the pursuing Semi-God Realm warriors refrained from attacking. The patriarch hurt so much that he howled and rolled around in midair. It shocked the Semi-God Realm warriors. What was Lu Li doing? Was he lashing out on an Earth Immortal Realm warrior?
“That is too bad!”
The Wicked Bead glowed as an Earth Immortal Realm warrior was sent out. He choked the patriarch of the Feng Family and then dragged him into the Wicked Bead by force.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
The Semi-God Realm warriors reacted quickly. As soon as the person was sent out from the Wicked Bead, they sprang into action. Nevertheless, they were too late. The person vanished into the Wicked Bead along with the Feng Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior.
“Run, now!”
The Feng Family progenitor yelled. They had not paid enough attention just now because the Wicked Bead could not kill Earth Immortal Realm warriors. They did not expect that one of the Earth Immortal Realm warriors was captured.
“Well done!”
Inside the Wicked Bead, Lu Li used Feather Wind to knock out the Feng Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior. Then, he flew the Wicked Bead to the distance at once so that he could start soul snatching.
Lu Li acquired yet another soul slave after the time for one incense stick to burn. As of this moment, he didn’t feel any stress on his soul. Currently, he had 14 soul slaves. At the peak, he had a couple dozens.
“What is your name? What is your position in the Feng Family?” Lu Li asked after the Feng Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior woke up.
The Feng Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior answered honestly, “I am Feng Yuyang, a patriarch.”
Lu Li took out a map. He threw it over and said, “Mark the 18 blessed lands of the Feng Family.”
A trace of horror rose in Feng Yuyang’s eyes. That being said, he could not disobey Lu Li. He circled the lands on the map. Soon, 15 locations were marked. Giving the map back to Lu Li, he said, “These are the 15 I know. Only Family Patriarch and Great Patriarch know about the other three.”
“Good!”
Lu Li was more than satisfied. He took a reading of the map and realized that there was one blessed land nearby. He adjusted the course and flew the Wicked Bead to the south.
The Semi-God Realm pursuers were puzzled. What was Lu Li doing going here and there? They could not find the answer and had to follow him around.
After an hour, the Feng Family progenitor asked in confusion, “Is there a big city there? Do we have many disciples in that place?”
Brother Three of Feng Family was bewildered as well. “I don’t think so, but Cheng Family’s city is over there, and we will be reaching it in half a day.”
Cheng Family was a big family, and their progenitor warrior was at the Semi-God Realm warrior as well. However, he was not fast enough to join in the hot pursuit. Feng Family progenitor said, “Send a message to Brother Cheng and tell him to evacuate.”
Feng Family Brother Three nodded. He landed in a city so he could send someone to deliver the message. Then, he caught up with the team after he teleported two rounds.
“It’s done!”
Brother Three of Feng Family reported to the team. He looked around. After a while, he suddenly remembered something which took him by surprise. He sends a secret message to the Feng Family progenitor, “Progenitor, I think there is a blessed land there!”
“Blessed land?”
Feng Family progenitor tried to remember. His wrinkled face twisted. When he connected to the fact that Lu Li had just captured a patriarch of his family, he seemed to be more overwhelmed.
Blessed lands!
Blessed lands were naturally formed places of fortune. Their existence could not come easily. Usually, one would come into being every tens of thousands of years, and this was the surprisingly lucky cases. Over the course of a million years, the Feng Family merely found 18 blessed lands.
In the blessed lands, Mystical Materials could grow at a fast speed. Those that were nurtured there were of the first tier. With blessed lands, a family could accumulate times more wealth, and the family could develop fast.
In the history of the Central Imperial Universe, wars had happened. But no family dared to destroy blessed land. They were regarded as invaluable gifts granted by heaven. Destroying the blessed lands could invite the wrath of heaven.
That being said…
Lu Li was not from the Central Imperial Universe, and he had no intention of seeking hegemony here. For him, the blessed lands meant nothing. He was a cornered, mad dog at the moment. Now that he had learned the existence of the blessed lands, of course, he would go and destroy them.
The Feng Family progenitor had to pray to himself that Lu Li was not going to after their family’s blessed lands.
But reality was harsh.
An hour later, Lu Li arrived in front of a mountain. He stopped.
The mountain was gigantic. It didn’t show much, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about it. But the two Feng Family Semi-God Realm warriors were frightened as if they had just lost their loved ones.
They heard Lu Li’s voice coming through the Wicked Bead. “You of the Feng Family and Qi Family. This is the last chance for you. I have been informed of many blessed lands’ location. If a life and death struggle is what you want, then I will have to put my foot down and ruin all the blessed lands. I don’t think the Central Imperial Universe will be able to recover for a million years in that case.”
