Lu Li had cleaned up Zi Lian's mess for her. They were friends and the Zi Family had followed Lu Li for such a long time. Lu Li had to be considerate.
Also, Lu Li could not let this matter go. Otherwise, if the Jiang Family and the Ye Family continued to fight, the Jiang Family would become unstable internally. With the enemy at hand, he could not afford to let anything go wrong.
Lu Li went to the Ye City. Ye Luo's father was in closed-door cultivation and Ye Luo had invited him out.
Since Lu Li had come to apologize in person, the Ye Family would not say anything. Without Lu Li, the Ye Family would not be where it was today. What was more, given Lu Li's abilities and forces, it would be a piece of cake for him to wipe out the Ye Family.
Not only did Lu Li apologize on behalf of Zi Lian and Jiang Wuwo, but he also gave all the interests of the Jiang Family at the Eastern Land of Oceans to the Ye Family as compensation.
On top of that, Lu Li slapped Jiang Qiling's uncle in public. The Ye Family warriors felt better. Ye Hongtu, who had come to his senses, didn't say anything.
Ye Luo understood Lu Li's difficulties. He saw Lu Li out in person and told Lu Li not to worry. He would keep the Ye Family under control and would not let Lu Li be in trouble.
Having comforted the Ye Family, Lu Li did not go to the Qiling City. Instead, he went to the King Kong City where the Lu Family was located and sent a message to Jiang Tianshun, asking him to come at once.
After chatting with Lu Zhengyang for a while, Lu Zhengyang shook his head with a bitter smile.
Lu Li told him to pay attention to his family members. If anyone was abusing the prestige of the Lu Family to do evil deeds or bully the weak, he would be dealt with severely.
Lu Zhengyang attached great importance to this. He called Great Grandfather Five over and told him that Great Grandfather Five would enforce the family rules himself. Great Grandfather Five would punish anyone who disobeyed the family rules.
"Any news from your father?"
After Great Grandfather Five left, Lu Zhengyang asked with concern.
Lu Li shook his head. How could he know?
He did not go to the Prison of Ice. Lu Renhuang had been gone for a long time and he did not bring back any news. Only his jade talisman of life was intact, which reassured Lu Li and Lu Zhengyang.
Since Lu Li did not know, Lu Zhengyang asked again, "When will the enemies invade?"
Lu Li told Lu Zhengyang something about the warriors of the nine universes but he did not make it too clear. He only mentioned that some enemies would come and they were not that terrifying.
"In the next one or two years," Lu Li said after some thought.
Lu Zhengyang was worried. He asked again, "Are you confident?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li nodded with a smile and explained, "Grandpa, I have reached an agreement with God of Sorcerer and God of Barbarian. When enemies invade, they will send an avatar to help me fight. Think about it … with two immortals helping me, do you think I can lose?"
"God?"
Lu Zhengyang was shocked. Lu Li explained patiently but did not tell Lu Zhengyang everything.
Then, on second thought, Lu Li taught Lu Zhengyang the Skill of Shield, Spiritual Element, and Transcendent State.
The three skills were the cornerstones of the Lu Family. If any disciple of the Lu Family could learn them, the Lu Family could dominate the Heaven Reverse Universe for generations to come.
"Divine arts?"
Lu Zhengyang was thrilled. He recorded it with a piece of animal hide. Lu Li told him not to leak it out and not too many people knew about it. He could not reveal that it was a skill from the Divinity and could only say it was an ancient skill.
Of course, Lu Zhengyang understood the seriousness of this matter. He put away the hide roll in excitement.
Taking a moment to calm himself down, Lu Zhengyang said, "Lu Li, you are more powerful than any of us. You are smart and sensible. I cannot help you too much. All I can do is to help you manage the rear.
Go ahead and do what you want to do. Grandpa will always support you. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li smiled. He left and went to a room to cultivate.
It would take Jiang Tianshun a couple of days to arrive. Lu Li did not want to go to the Qiling City. He decided to cultivate for a few days first.
Several days later, Jiang Tianshun teleported over. He did not go to the Qiling City but to the King Kong City. Lu Li came out from cultivation to meet him.
Lu Zhengyang did not keep Jiang Tianshun company. Otherwise, Jiang Tianshun would feel embarrassed.
Lu Li did not waste time. Looking at Jiang Tianshun, he said, "Grandpa Jiang, the Jiang Family has been impatient lately."
"Yes!"
Jiang Tianshun had learned everything before he came. He did not refute or explain. Instead, he said with a forced smile, "I know. Later, I will go back and deal with it. Lu Li, what instructions do you have for me? Just tell me."
Jiang Tianshun's use of the word "instructions" indicated that he was being humble. He was not as reckless as Jiang Wuwo. He knew that in the Heaven Reverse Universe, Lu Li's will could not be disobeyed. Even immortals had to bow to Lu Li.
Jiang Tianshun knew Lu Li's character well. The Jiang Family would not have a good ending if Lu Li was angered.
"No, Grandpa Jiang. You are exaggerating."
Lu Li said with a straight face, "I have promised the Ye Family that you will give them your interests at the Ocean Land of the East as compensation. Grandpa Jiang, you will not blame me, will you?"
"Of course not."
Jiang Tianshun's heart was bleeding but he pretended to be fine. The Jiang Family at the Ocean Land of the East had occupied many resources and lands.
Forcing himself to shake his head, Jiang Tianshun said, "Since Wuwo has done something wrong, he must pay the price. Also, Jiang Family disciples have been impatient these years. It is time to give them a wake-up call."
"Grandpa Jiang, you may not know this, but the Heaven Reverse Universe is about to face a catastrophe."
Lu Li sighed. He did not explain too much. He said solemnly, "To survive this catastrophe, I am doing my best to prepare. I don't want any more trouble at the rear.
This time, I did not show my cousin any respect. Please apologize to him on my behalf. I will not go over. Help me comfort the uncles of the Jiang Family. "
"Catastrophe?"
Jiang Tianshun frowned and asked with caution, "Is it serious?
Lu Li … you have moved the families here to deal with the catastrophe? "
"Don't worry too much and don't tell others."
Lu Li explained, "I have reached an agreement with God of Barbarian and God of Sorcerer. They will help me. It is just some Semi-God Realm warriors that will invade. I can handle them."
"Okay, I know what to do!"
Jiang Tianshun nodded. "I will keep an eye on the Jiang Family. There will be no more trouble. I am sorry to have troubled you."
"Thank you, Grandpa Jiang!"
Lu Li smiled. He added after some thoughts, "When you pass by the base camp, go and talk to Qiling. She listens to you."
"That child."
Jiang Tianshun's eyes revealed a trace of doting, and he sighed, "Her mother died early, and Wuwo left her alone, so her temper is a bit bad. Fortunately, she met you, and you should be more tolerant."
Jiang Tianshun remembered that he did not agree to Jiang Qiling staying with Lu Li. Now, Lu Li's status and abilities made Jiang Tianshun sigh.
Luckily, Jiang Qiling insisted on staying with Lu Li. Otherwise, the Jiang Family would not be where it was today.
Jiang Tianshun left after a while. He had to go back to the Jiang Family.
Lu Li walked out and ordered Ye Cha who was guarding outside, "Send someone to keep an eye on Zi Lian. If she dares to do anything, ask my grandpa to take her down and put her under house arrest!"
