Lu Li had always been an easy-going person. He would not pick on others for no reason, nor would he bully or humiliate others. If it were something trivial, he would just laugh it off.
Today, he wouldn't let it go because Meng Li and Commander Cao wanted to kill him.
Now that they were setting up a trap to kill him, why should he be polite?
He was nominally the commander and Meng Li's superior. How could Meng Li fight him in front of so many warriors?
Also, since Meng Li and Commander Cao wanted to kill him, then he would create some trouble on purpose so that everyone would know that he and Meng Li had a grudge against each other.
By then, Meng Li would have scruples about killing him. At the very least, Meng Li wouldn't dare to do anything to him in public. He could only do it in secret.
As long as they were playing dirty, then Lu Li was not afraid of anyone. It all depended on his own ability. If Meng Li could kill him, then he would have nothing to say.
Meng Li looked gloomy. A warrior of the Second Tribulation, a so-called commander, dared to make things difficult for him?
Did he really think that the Great Commander was something?
If he wanted to, he could dismiss Lu Li at any time.
However, the problem was that there were thousands of pairs of eyes staring at them, and countless soldiers watching the show from nearby.
If he fought with Lu Li, he wouldn't gain anything.
On the contrary, if the news got back to the Hell City, he would be punished.
What was he doing here?
He was here to kill Lu Li and to avenge Su Yueqin. But he could not go against the rules of the Hell City.
Otherwise, how could the warriors be convinced?
If the news got out, not even his great grandpa could handle it. Not even his great grandpa would help him.
Commander Cao's eyes flickered. He said, "Young Master, a little impatience will spoil the great plan. Many patriarchs must be secretly investigating but they didn't come out.
On the surface … Lu Si is in the right. We will be at a disadvantage if we go on.
Anyway, we can kill him when we get to the Ghost Realm. "
Commander Cao's words calmed Meng Li down. A group of patriarchs must have sensed the situation here but Patriarch Yang didn't come out. What did it mean?
Several old patriarchs were waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
"Alright!"
Meng Li let out a long sigh, cupped his hands and said, "As a man, I'm not afraid of losing face even if I did something wrong. Today's matter was indeed my fault. I've made my brothers wait for a long time. Meng Li apologizes to everyone here."
After saying that, Meng Li bowed slightly and lowered his noble head.
The warriors were in an uproar. This was a distinguished young master that even the five patriarchs went to greet. How could he bow to Lu Li?
This was the biggest joke in the world.
Not only the soldiers, but many commanders and elders were also slightly astonished.
This Young Master Meng had always been arrogant and looked down on them. How could he be subdued so easily by Lu Li?
Was he really a disciple of the Meng Clan?
Or did he have other plans?
"Depart!"
Lu Li waved his hand and the army marched into the Drifting Souls Universe. Lu Li and Meng Li followed the army into the depths of the valley and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
"This …"
Patriarch Yang walked out from the castle. His eyebrows were knitted together and his face was gloomy. He looked to where Lu Li, Meng Li and the others disappeared to. He thought about it and waved his hand and said, "Someone!"
"Whoosh!"
A man in black clothes appeared. Patriarch Yang waved his hand and said, "You go in and keep an eye on them. Don't worry about the usual things. But if Meng Li's life is in danger, you must protect him. You don't have to come back if he dies."
"Yes!"
The man in black clothes nodded and flew away in a blur. Even though he was at the peak of the third tribulation, he was proficient in assassination. Even average warriors of the fourth tribulation would lose their lives in a sneak attack from him.
If he went with the army, not even Meng Li and Lu Li would be able to find him. It would be best if he could protect Meng Li in secret.
"Please don't let anything happen to him!"
Patriarch Yang sighed. Killing Lu Li was not a big deal. It could be covered up easily.
But if something were to happen to Meng Li, then nobody could cover it up. The entire Hell Palace would be shocked and Patriarch Yang's position as a patriarch would come to an end.
Of course, Meng Li was strong and had many treasures. Lu Li might have some strange skills but he couldn't kill Meng Li.
Everything would be fine as long as they didn't run into the Phantom King.
The Phantom King hadn't shown up for years. He wouldn't show up in the next 10 years, which put Patriarch Yang's mind at ease.
"Ha, ha!"
In the other castle sat two white-haired old men. These two were very strong and were the two most powerful Elders in the Ghost Valley.
They didn't go out to greet Meng Li when he arrived. They didn't even show up later.
At the moment, they were drinking tea together. One of the old men laughed and said, "The Meng Family kid is good at enduring. But that Lu guy is not easy to deal with. I think something will go wrong in the Ghost World. Either the Lu guy will be killed or Meng Li will be killed."
"Meng Li will be killed?"
The other skinny old man raised his eyebrows and said, "Patriarch Huo, are you kidding me? If Meng Li dies, Great Patriarch will fly into a rage. None of us will have a good time."
"Hmm!"
The old man named Huo snorted and said, "Yun, we have been sent here to guard for a thousand years. Do you think we will have a good time?
What else can we do?
Does he have the guts to kill us?
His disciples are courting death. Who else can he blame? "
"Courting death?"
The skinny old man, Yun, was surprised and asked, "Patriarch Huo, are you so sure that Lu guy can kill Meng Li?
Does he have the guts to kill him?
He can't get out of the Ghost Valley. He will die if he kills Meng Li. "
"He is very bold …"
Lao He said with a smile, "I got some information. This kid didn't listen to the Goddess's orders and fled. He even killed Old Demon Xia who was about to die.
This kind of person is unruly and can do anything if he is forced.
Meng Li wants to kill him to please Su Yueqin. How can Lu boy sit still and wait for death?
As for his strength … I'm not sure, but since he can easily deal with the ghosts, he must have his own unique skills.
Don't forget, although Old Demon Xia is seriously injured, he is still a fierce tiger. "
"Do you want Old Yang to send someone to protect Meng Li?"
The skinny old man, Yun, said hesitantly, "We are guarding this place after all. If the Meng Family kid dies here, we can't escape responsibility. At least it will be troublesome."
"Don't worry about it!"
Patriarch Huo said with a trace of mockery, "I still hope that something will happen. Otherwise, those old things in the Hell Palace will forget our existence.
Back then, Meng Qishan also had a part in suppressing us. I really want to see his flustered and exasperated look, hahaha! "
"Alright!"
Yun sighed helplessly. Since Patriarch Huo had decided, it was not good for him to act alone.
Patriarch Huo was right. They were already like this now, how bad could they be?
Could it be that the Hell Palace would expel them?
Or kill them?
"I feel like a big show is about to begin!"
