By the time Qin Zhan and the others came in, the warriors of the Hall of Black Flame had left.
Qin Liantian and Qin Zhan should have known but they pretended not to. The atmosphere returned to normal as if the warriors of the Hall of Black Flame had never been here.
After this incident, the atmosphere in the hall became even more intense.
At first, the Fu Family, Bu Family and Ge Family wanted to leave. But now, they had to be obedient and put on a smile.
Yan Qi was a negative example. If she were to get into conflict with Lu Li, she would only be asking for humiliation.
Not even patriarchs of the Hall of Black Flame dared to fight Lu Li. If the Immortal Princes and Goddesses went to Lu Li, they would be asking for humiliation.
There were so many people here today. The Hall of Black Flame had been disgraced.
Of course, the Hall of Black Flame had been disgraced and so had the Fu Family. As long as Lu Li was alive, the Hall of Black Flame and the Fu Family would never be able to raise their heads again.
In the past, the Hall of Black Flame swore that they had killed the God of Massacre from Hell and hung a corpse on it. Now, it seemed to be a big joke …
The Hall of Black Flame used to be among the top 10 of the 36 forces. But secretly, the Hall of Black Flame had been at the bottom, at least in terms of prestige.
Now, some powerful warriors had left the Hall of Black Flame, let alone those who had gone to the Hall of Black Flame.
A force could not rely on just one family. Take the Qin Family as an example. Even though the Qin Family was the leader, many patriarchs were not of the same family.
A major power needed many clans to unite and constantly recruit experts in order to maintain its prestige and territory.
If a force had a bad reputation, the powerful warriors that were attached to it would leave, not to mention attracting powerful warriors from outside. Gradually, the force would decline or even perish.
This was the case for the Hall of Black Flame and the Fu Family. For example, if a genius was recruited by the Hall of Black Flame and the Qin Family at the same time and offered the same conditions, the genius would definitely choose the Qin Family …
When the powerful warriors of the Hall of Black Flame and the Fu Family passed away, there would be no new warriors to replace them. The two forces would perish sooner or later.
The drinking lasted until the afternoon. The guests gradually left but some stayed because the Axe Demon and Lu Li hadn't left yet.
Lu Li didn't leave. It was Qin Zhan who invited him alone. After entertaining the guests for the whole morning, Qin Zhan let Qin Liantian handle the rest. He invited Gan Lin and Lu Li to his own yard.
"Lu Li, what are your plans for the future?"
Qin Zhan didn't waste any words. After asking the maid to serve tea, he asked with a serious expression.
Although he had drunk a lot of wine, it was nothing to a martial artist like him.
"What's the plan?" Lu Li was confused and so was Gan Lin.
"Do you plan to spend the rest of your life in the second layer of heaven?" Qin Zhan was a straightforward person. He went straight to the point and asked, "Are you not planning to go to the third layer of heaven?"
"Third Heaven?"
Gan Lin's eyes flashed, and a yearning look appeared on his face.
Lu Li frowned. On the day of Qin Zhan's wedding, he didn't accompany his wife. Instead, he talked to him about the Third Heaven. What was going on?
He nodded and said, "I will definitely go to the Third Heaven, but my strength is not enough. I need to reach the peak of the Third Tribulation before I can go."
"Sure enough!"
Qin Zhan smiled and nodded, "I knew you would go back to the Third Heaven. The Second Heaven can no longer give you excitement. Ha, ha, ha, in other words, there is nothing in the Second Heaven that you can harm. People like you are more suitable to go to the Third Heaven!"
"What do you mean by harm?"
Lu Li curled his lips innocently and said, "You know that I don't like to cause trouble. It is others who provoke me."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore!"
Qin Zhan said seriously, "Lu Li, you have to promise me one thing. When you go to the Third Heaven, you must take me with you. I will go with you and explore the Third Heaven."
"What?"
Lu Li was speechless. He rolled his eyes and said, "You just got married and your wife just got married, but you want to go with me to the Third Heaven?
Do you know anything about the Third Heaven?
Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to come back? "
"You haven't gone yet, have you?"
Qin Zhan grinned, took a sip of tea and said, "I think it will take you 10 years to go to the Third Heaven. After 10 years, my children will be a few years old. During these years, I will make the best use of my time to leave a descendant for the Qin Family. By then, I can go with you to the Third Heaven.
It is too depressing in the Second Heaven. As the Qin Family's Chosen One, my every move has to be controlled. Most importantly — there are too many things to worry about here. Only when I go to the Third Heaven can I fight with my life on the line. Only then can I achieve great achievements on the path of martial arts. I feel that going to the Third Heaven with you will be very … exciting! "
"Exciting!"
Gan Lin's eyes lit up at this moment. He looked at Lu Li seriously and said, "Lu Li, when you go, you must take me with you. The Second Heaven is really not that interesting.
Us three brothers will go to the Third Heaven together. In the future, the three of us will become emperors and return home in glory. "
"…"
Lu Li was speechless. Were they out of their minds?
Did they think the Third Heaven was a place of treasures?
To go sightseeing and treasure hunting?
Lu Li said to the two seriously, "You must know many things. The Devil offended Empress Phoenix and the Zhangsun Family of the Third Heaven. I don't know why he didn't go down to the mortal world to seek revenge, but I can promise you — as long as we go to the Third Heaven, we will be hunted down endlessly by the two forces. If you are impatient, you can find a rope and hang yourselves now."
"I know!"
Qin Zhan's tone was very firm. He nodded and said, "I know all this, but I know one more thing.
If I don't go to the Third Heaven, I can only reach the peak of the Third Tribulation Realm in my life and then repeat the life of my grandpa and father.
This kind of life is so boring. If I didn't meet Yu Qiong, I would have gone to the Third Heaven by myself.
Now that Yu Qiong is married to me, I have no more regrets. Also, it will be exciting to follow you.
You know … a warrior can only go through life and death battles if he wants to become a powerful warrior. I have a feeling that if I follow you, I will have a chance to reach the Fourth Tribulation Realm! "
Gan Lin answered with determination, "Lu Li, I am serious as well. You know about my life at the Omen Island. I don't want to live under my grandpa's protection for the rest of my life. I want to go to the Third Heaven.
If you don't take me, then I will go alone. "
"Alright!"
Lu Li shrugged and said, "I will let you know when I am leaving. If you can convince Patriarch Qin and Lord Axe Demon, I will take you with me."
"It's a deal!"
Qin Zhan was overjoyed but Gan Lin was frowning. Clearly, he did not have much confidence in convincing Axe Demon.
"Ten years?"
Lu Li was confused. Could his comprehensive abilities reach the peak of the Third Tribulation Realm in 10 years?
After practicing the Bone Refining Technique for ten years, his bones should have turned black, right?
By then, could his physical body be as strong as the peak of the Third Tribulation Realm?
"I need to cultivate the Ghost Cut. I need to find a way!"
Lu Li nodded. If the Ghost Cut could be integrated with two more Fundamental Meanings and his physical abilities, he could be as strong as a warrior at the peak of the Third Tribulation Realm.
