"Greetings, Lord!"
Gan Lin and the two old warriors of the third tribulation knelt down. The confused people in the city finally came back to their senses.
To be able to release such a powerful golden hand and easily crush a peak third tribulation cultivator, only a Great Demon King could have such combat prowess.
In terms of courage, there was no one else apart from the Demon King that could crush a warrior at the peak of the third tribulation of the Zhangsun Family, let alone the Demon King.
"Plop!"
Many low-level warriors knelt down. For one, they were scared, and for another, they were in awe and admiration.
They didn't even have the chance to worship such a man.
The beautiful hand was gone. The sky returned to calmness as if the hand had never been there.
More than a dozen warriors of the Zhangsun Family were running toward Lu Li. They were not far away from him now, but none of them dared to move.
Lu Li was right in front of them. They could kill him easily. The hand of the Demon King was gone. But … who dared to move?
"Third Uncle!"
Zhangsun Wuque shouted in sorrow. He didn't dare to say anything. Out of instinct, he wanted to fly over only to realize that his third uncle's body was gone. There was nothing but a mist of blood floating in the air.
He was filled with regret and hatred. His third uncle was talking to a big family nearby. If Zhangsun Wuque hadn't crushed the jade talisman to inform the family, his third uncle wouldn't have died.
"Let's go!"
Zhangsun Wuque made up his mind. He waved his hand and asked someone to take away the bodies of the three young men and Zhangsun Ruyu.
Zhangsun Wuque was mad but he did not lose his mind. If the Demon King could do it once, he could do it again.
If he were to attack again, everyone would probably die.
Zhangsun Wuque and the others left by Teleportation Formation. As soon as they left, the atmosphere in the city was not as depressing as before. But many people still felt it was hard to breathe.
Some were trembling. Maybe it was because of nervousness or the excitement of seeing such a big fight.
"Alas …"
Lu Li climbed up from the ground and cupped his fists to the sky. He was not secretly happy that he had escaped death.
Instead, he felt humiliated. His face was gloomy.
He was not a kid anymore. On several occasions, he was in fatal danger and he needed the Demon King to help him out.
This made him feel ashamed and humiliated. He felt he had let down the Demon King's love.
"I'll go into seclusion after I return!"
Lu Li made up his mind. He needed to be more powerful. Otherwise, something like this might happen again. He couldn't rely on the Great Demon King to help him every time.
"Xiu!"
Gan Lin came with two old men. Gan Lin took Lu Li away and rushed into a manor. Looking at Lu Li who was covered in blood, Gan Lin sighed and said, "Lu Li, I am sorry. We are not capable enough to let you suffer alone."
"Hehe!
It's none of your business! "
Lu Li forced a smile and shook his head. Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Things had calmed down, but the city was not. News of the incident spread to the Second Heaven at an extremely fast speed.
The Great Demon King and the Zhangsun Clan were at odds. It would be hard for such a huge matter not to spread quickly.
Lu Li had killed Zhangsun Ruyu. Warriors of the Zhangsun Family were driven mad. They wanted to kill Lu Li.
The young couldn't be killed, so the elders took action. In the end, Zhangsun Family's Battle Hall Master Zhangsun Qie came, but he was killed by the Great Demon King with a single palm strike.
Who was right and who was wrong?
How come Zhangsun Ruyu was naked when she died?
Lu Li was wearing a bathrobe as well. Did he and Zhangsun Ruyu have an illicit relationship?
How did the Great Demon King come so quickly?
Was it because she was nearby, or was it an attack she released from the Omen Island?
Of course, people chose to believe the former explanation. The Great Demon King couldn't have released a skill from the Omen Island to crush Zhangsun Qie. The Omen Island was hundreds of millions of miles away from the Heavenly Sound Island. Not even warriors of the Fourth or Fifth Tribulation could do that.
There were too many questions and too many topics to talk about. Therefore, the news spread quickly. The entire Second Heaven was in an uproar.
Scouts from many forces swarmed toward the Sky Heart Island where the Zhangsun Family was at. They wanted to see if the Zhangsun Family would take action.
The most powerful warrior of the Second Heaven was challenging the most powerful force of the Second Heaven!
If an all-out war were to break out, no matter who won, the situation of the entire Second Heaven would be affected.
Even though the Zhangsun Family hadn't taken action yet, the Great Demon King's prestige was growing. The Zhangsun Family had a backer at the Third Heaven. The Great Demon King had already offended Phoenix Queen. How could she offend the Zhangsun Family as well?
Did she really think that the great forces of the Third Heaven would not dare to send people down to the Lower Realm?
Three days later, the Family Master of the Zhangsun Family said in person — Lu Li had killed Zhangsun Ruyu and the others for no reason. He hoped that the Omen Island could give him an explanation. If there was no explanation in a month, the Zhangsun Family would take actions to avenge Zhangsun Ruyu and the others.
The announcement of the Zhangsun Family didn't mention that the Asmodian Lord had killed Zhangsun Qi. It only mentioned that Lu Li had killed Zhangsun Ruyu and the others. The words were not too harsh, but they had expressed a certain attitude.
The Zhangsun Family hoped that the Asmodian Lord would hand over Lu Li and the matter would be over.
If Lu Li was not handed over, the Zhangsun Family would not hesitate to fight.
Would the Great Demon King hand over Lu Li?
This was obviously impossible. Otherwise, the Great Demon King wouldn't have killed Zhangsun Qie. Therefore, after the Zhangsun family sent out the announcement, the entire Second Heaven was immediately shaken.
Were the Zhangsun Clan and the Great Demon King finally going to fight head-on?
Was the Zhangsun family's old bastard going to come out of seclusion?
Would the Zhangsun Family ask powerful warriors of the Third Heaven to take action?
The atmosphere of the entire Second Heaven was depressed. Recently, all the forces were restraining their people from going out and causing trouble. They could not afford to have any big conflicts during this time.
Even some playboys were locked up for fear that they would go out and cause trouble …
Lu Li was still at the Heaven Music City. The Palace of Heaven Music sent over many powerful warriors to protect him, for fear that something might happen to him.
The Master of the Palace of Heaven Music went to the Omen Island in person to apologize to the Great Demon King. After all, it was the Zhangsun Family that started a fight in the city, but the Palace of Heaven Music didn't do anything to protect Lu Li. This was their fault.
The Demon King didn't meet with the Master of the Palace of Heaven Music. Axe Demon did, but he didn't explain clearly what the Great Demon King wanted. The Master of the Palace of Heaven Music came back with uneasiness.
The Axe Demon came over and picked up Lu Li, Gan Lin and the others who had recovered a little.
What happened to Lu Li was not sent back to the Cloud Mountain. After Lu Li woke up, he stayed at the Heavenly Asmodian City to tend to his wounds. He asked Axe Demon to go to the Cloud Mountain to block the news so that the Lu Family wouldn't be worried.
After half a month of rest, Lu Li's wounds had recovered a lot. That being said, the toxins in his body were still there. He still couldn't use his divine energy and his physical strength was suppressed.
Lu Li asked Axe Demon to take him to the Great Demon King. Lu Li knew about the announcement from the Zhangsun Family.
He wanted to ask the Great Demon King. If he couldn't handle it, he would go to the Zhangsun Family by himself.
"Nobody can threaten me at the Second Heaven!"
