Lu Li, on the other hand, knew Hunchback Tian well. It was because he knew Hunchback Tian that Lu Li could defeat him.
Maybe a hundred years ago, Hunchback Tian was a big shot with the pride of a powerful warrior. But after a hundred years, the dignity and pride in Hunchback Tian's bones had long been worn out.
Over the past 100 years, Hunchback Tian had tried to reach the Fate Wheel Realm more than 80 times. This proved that he was a Kung Fu addict. Or in other words, the only thing he wanted to do now was to continue to reach the Fate Wheel Realm.
As long as someone could provide him with Mystical Materials to help him reach the Fate Wheel Realm, he could even be a coachman.
Warriors at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm were not that great. If they relied on themselves, they could not get a large amount of Mystical Materials and Xuan Crystals in a short time, especially at the Thousand-island Lake.
The size of the Thousand-island Lake was limited. The best land was occupied by the Bai Family and the rest were divided up by the eight Fourth-rank forces.
All Fourth-rank forces had powerful warriors at the Fate Wheel Realm. Unless Hunchback Tian had a death wish, he wouldn't dare to mess with a Fourth-rank force.
Perhaps he could loot a Rank 3 force, but don't forget that Rank 3 forces were all vassals of Rank 4 forces.
It was fine if you robbed them once, but how could you not be angry if you robbed a fourth rank clan several times?
The Fourth-rank families didn't want Hunchback Tian, but the Third-rank families couldn't afford to raise him. Hunchback Tian was in a bad situation.
Hunchback Tian had joined dozens of forces in the past 100 years. Therefore, Lu Li was confident that he could defeat Hunchback Tian.
With Ming Yu's reputation, how could Hunchback Tian dare to offend him?
After a hundred years, Hunchback Tian's sharpness had been worn down. He was a bully who feared the strong and bullied the weak. He would pretend to be a coward to those he couldn't afford to offend.
Lu Li chose to take in Hunchback Tian because the Blood Evil Island didn't have any powerful warriors to keep watch, so there was no absolute deterrence.
How long could Ming Yu's fame last?
If Ming Yu didn't show up at the Blood Evil Island in one or two years, what would the nearby forces think?
Also, Lu Li himself didn't want to borrow Ming Yu's name. He wasn't sure if Ming Yu was old friends with his father or if Ming Yu was just testing him.
In short, it was best not to borrow it, lest something happened.
The Blood Evil Island would develop fast in the future. Inevitably, people would covet it.
The Green Dwarfs alone were not enough to deter the enemy. They needed a strong person to keep watch.
Without a doubt, Hunchback Tian was a good candidate. This person had no ambition. As long as his requirements were met, he could be ordered around.
As for …
Where did the Mystic Crystals come from?
Lu Li was not worried about this. The market demand for the Blood Caterpillar Grass was limited. If he couldn't grow it on a larger scale, then he could grow something else.
For example, the Fire Fairy Ganoderma and the Netherworld Root!
The two kinds of Mystical Grasses were very rare and expensive. Lu Li didn't consider them before because the cost of the two kinds of Mystical Grasses was very high. They required the blood of at least Third-rank Xuan Beasts to grow, which the Liu Family could not afford.
Madam Yan used to want to work with him on these two kinds of elixirs. Now, Lu Li felt the time was ripe and he could try to cultivate them.
Once they could cultivate high-quality Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots, the Liu Family would have a Glazed Crystal mine.
It was not a problem to earn millions of Xuan Crystals a year. It was too easy to raise Hunchback Tian.
Lu Li didn't tell anyone about his plan. The Blood Evil Island was not completely stabilized yet. There might be many spies on the island. He planned to take action in two months.
Lu Li left Hunchback Tian alone and went back to the Elephant Dragon Mountain to cultivate. He asked Patriarch Seven to deal with the rest.
Hunchback Tian became the Hall Master of the Hall of Warfare, responsible for the safety of the Blood Evil Island.
Patriarch Seven made a deal with Hunchback Tian. He would give Hunchback Tian 50,000 Xuan Crystals a month and the rest would be given to Hunchback Tian after two years. When he had three million Xuan Crystals, Hunchback Tian could buy the Mystical Materials he needed himself.
Hunchback Tian was satisfied. He was not afraid that the Liu Family would go back on their word. He had become a hired thug hired by the Liu Family at the cost of Xuan Crystals, responsible for guarding the house …
Hunchback Tian was very responsible. He didn't need to cultivate anymore. All he had to do was to wait for the Mystical Materials to get to the Fate Wheel Realm.
He had lived for more than 150 years. Two years was just a blink of an eye for him.
Under Hunchback Tian's guidance, the Liu Family bought some formation stones and built some special Inhibition Formations, which greatly strengthened the defense of the Blood Evil Island.
Regular scouts could not sneak into the Blood Evil Island. Only powerful warriors of the Soul Pond Realm could.
After six or seven days, all kinds of arrangements were made on the Blood Evil Island. Hunchback Tian wandered around the island every day, eating and drinking well.
Regular warriors of the Liu Family treated him with respect. Hunchback Tian lived a leisurely life.
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 days had passed. Today was Xu Chen's birthday.
Early in the morning, Liu Yi sent someone to invite Lu Li over. Lu Li was the Island Owner, so he had to be the one to do this kind of thing.
Lu Li knew this was unavoidable. He took a bath and changed into a fairly gorgeous robe.
He brought Liu Yi, Patriarch Seven, Hunchback Tian and 10 Green Dwarfs to the God-down Island on a battleship.
Lu Li didn't need to worry about trivial things like gifts. Patriarch Seven had already prepared them. However, Hunchback Tian was unwilling to come along.
He said that his duty was to protect the Blood Evil Island, not to be Lu Li's follower …
Lu Li said he would break the promise, so Hunchback Tian had to go with him. As far as Hunchback Tian could tell, Lu Li's backer was Ming Yu, and he couldn't afford to offend him. If Lu Li really broke the promise, how could Hunchback Tian dare to kill Lu Li?
The Eldest Young Master of the Xu Family, Xu Yaoyang, was waiting for Lu Li at the dock in person. He was a bit surprised to see Lu Li with 10 Green Dwarfs and a powerful warrior at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm. Then he realized that Lu Li was demonstrating his strength to nearby forces.
Xu Yaoyang knew Hunchback Tian's identity just by looking at him.
He didn't say anything, but he was sneering inside. He thought to himself that Lu Li was being taken advantage of.
"Hold the Mighty Heaven Halberd for me!"
The battleship docked. Lu Li threw the Mighty Heaven Halberd to Hunchback Tian. The latter flew into a rage and murmured, "Island Owner, what kind of person do you think I am?
Hold your weapon for you?
Do you need me to hold your horse for you? "
Lu Li glanced over to him and said in a cold voice, "Hunchback Tian, you don't seem to know who you are?
You are just a deacon of our island. Have you ever seen deacons of other forces disobey the Island Owner?
Do you not want to work here anymore?
We can break the contract. I have been thinking about it, and I think it's not worth it to keep you … "
"Don't!"
Hunchback Tian was terrified. He said while clenching his teeth, "Just this once. If you do this again, I will quit."
"Let's go!"
Lu Li waved his hand lightly and walked towards the dock first.
Hunchback Tian followed Lu Li with his face covered in dirt, followed by Patriarch Seven and Liu Yi. The last one was the five Green Dwarfs.
There were many battleships at the dock. Many forces nearby had come early in the morning. Seeing Lu Li coming down with a group of people, they all looked at him.
The 10 Green Dwarfs at the back of Lu Li's team were too eye-catching. It was hard not to attract attention.
Ten Green Dwarfs were equivalent to 10 warriors at the Soul Pond Realm. Plus, there was Hunchback Tian at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm. Lu Li's move had shocked many Island Owners and patriarchs of different forces.
Many people asked around and learned that it was Lu Li from the Blood Evil Island. They were relieved and looked at Lu Li in a new light.
Of course …
