He couldn't bear it any longer. Otherwise, it would probably be 50 million next time.
It was not that Lu Li had no Xuan Crystals. The elixirs in his Interspatial Ring could be sold for more than a billion Xuan Crystals. But he didn't want to give them. He couldn't bear the humiliation and he didn't want to feed the Xuan Crystals to the dogs.
He asked Hunchback Tian to take him to the Blood Evil Island. He saw Xu Yaoyang who was sitting on the host seat with an arrogant expression. He also saw the Second Patriarch of the Xu Family, Xu Sihe.
Lu Li had met Xu Sihe once, at Xu Chen's birthday banquet. Xu Sihe even held Lu Li's hand and walked into the Xu Family compound.
Now that Lu Li met Xu Sihe, he seemed to be a different person. Xu Sihe sat next to Xu Yaoyang, drinking tea with his head lowered. He didn't even look at Lu Li.
Behind Xu Yaoyang and Xu Sihe stood two more warriors at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm.
Looking at the situation, Lu Li suddenly realized that Xu Yaoyang was not here with good intentions. Clearly, Xu Yaoyang was here to pick a fight and suppress the Blood Evil Island.
Besides, the Shang Fang Sword in Xu Yaoyang's hand was not given by Xu Chen, but by Madam Yan.
This was because Xu Chen did not dare to offend Ming Yu. Although Ming Yu had not appeared since the last time he left, Xu Chen did not dare to take the risk.
Also, when he went to the Wu Ling County, Xu Chen would have scruples about the mysterious powerful warrior that had been following him.
For Xu Chen to allow Xu Yaoyang to mess around without any scruples, it was obvious that someone behind him had given him a hint. That someone must be Madam Yan.
With the support of the Bai family, Xu Chen had nothing to worry about.
It seemed that Madam Yan was really angry, or she wanted Lu Li to suffer some hardships so that he could understand one thing — offending the Bai Family at the Thousand-island Lake would lead to a miserable ending. If he wanted to live comfortably at the Thousand-island Lake, the only way was to yield to her.
Having thought it through, Lu Li walked over quietly. He cupped his fists in front of his chest and said to Xu Sihe, "Greetings, Lord Xu. Young Master Xu, how have you been?"
Xu Yaoyang snorted but said nothing. Xu Sihe looked up at Lu Li coldly and said, "Lu Li, you are here?
Have a seat. "
Lu Li didn't stand on ceremony. He found a place to sit down and asked, "Lord Xu, what are you here for? Let's get straight to the point."
Xu Sihe took a sip of tea, sighed and said, "Lu Li, you don't know this. The lake bandits have been running wild recently. There are four powerful groups of bandits.
Two of them are led by Fate Wheel Realm warriors. Recently, the Xu Family has suffered a great loss. We are short of all kinds of herbs and elixirs. We … have no choice but to come to you to get some Xuan Crystals. "
Lu Li didn't want to hear any more nonsense. He cut to the chase, "I heard that Lord Xu wants five million Xuan Crystals this time?
How can our small Blood Evil Island afford it? "
"Island Lord Lu is too humble."
Xu Sihe smiled lightly and said, "You spent 20 million Xuan Crystals at the auction house. Everyone at the Thousand-island Lake knows about this.
Truth be told … according to our speculation, these lake bandits are coming for you. They want to rob the Blood Evil Island and rob you, a rich man.
You're living comfortably in the rear, but our Xu Family is constantly losing people. Isn't this inexcusable? "
"Coming for me?"
Lu Li sneered to himself. They were coming for him.
Lake bandits?
Who knew which clan's martial artist was in disguise?
Perhaps some of them were from the Xu family?
"We really don't have any!"
Lu Li shook his head and sighed, "The Blood Evil Island is so poor that we don't even have pants to wear. If Lord Xu wants hundreds of thousands of Xuan Crystals, we can make some. But I can't get five million even if you kill me."
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to offer Xuan Crystals."
Xu Sihe looked at Lu Li and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to offer money, then offer strength. The Blood Evil Island will send 10,000 warriors to suppress the bandits."
"…"
Lu Li was speechless. There were less than 10,000 warriors on the Blood Evil Island.
Besides, even if he sent people out to fight, only a few could come back.
If he went out himself, he might be assassinated as well.
Lu Li refused directly, "Lord Xu, we don't have many warriors on the Blood Evil Island. All of them are of low combat abilities. They will be courting death if they go.
How about … we give you all our Green Dwarfs? "
"No!"
Xu Sihe said with certainty, "Our Family Patriarch has given the order. All the affiliated forces must either offer Xuan Crystals or offer strength. Otherwise, we won't do anything if the lake bandits break into the Blood Evil Island."
"Then let them fight."
Lu Li didn't want to waste any more time. He stood up and said, "Lord Xu, you can send a message to those lake bandits. I will be waiting for them at the Blood Evil Island. But if they dare to set foot on the Blood Evil Island, they will be responsible for their own lives."
With that said, Lu Li walked out in strides. Xu Sihe was pressing him so hard that he had no way out.
Since he wanted to play, then he would play along with the Xu Family. He would kill as many lake bandits as they could get in.
It was Madam Yan who gave the order secretly. Lu Li was not afraid of her since she didn't dare to do it openly.
If she didn't do it openly, it meant that the Bai Family wouldn't send out warriors of the Eternal Realm. Lu Li could still fight against some warriors of the Soul Pond Realm and some of the Fate Wheel Realm.
The lake bandits wouldn't attack so fast. The ones at the beginning wouldn't be too powerful. After a few rounds, Ye Cha and the others would come out. Lu Li didn't want to put up with it anymore.
This time, no matter how hard he tried, Xu Yaoyang would not let him go.
The more he tried, the more Xu Yaoyang would push his luck. Even if he gave out tens of millions of Xuan Crystals, the result would be the same. Why would he let the Xu Family take advantage of him?
"Ha, ha!"
Looking at Lu Li's arrogant attitude, Xu Yaoyang laughed out of anger. He said coldly, "Lu Li, you are stubborn. If the lake bandits attack the Blood Evil Island and we can't come to your rescue in time, don't blame us."
Lu Li stopped at the door. He looked back at Xu Yaoyang and said, "Young Master Xu, I have a piece of advice for you. You should leave some leeway for others. Otherwise, it will be hard for us to meet again.
Also … there are too many lake bandits lately. You shouldn't go out and show off your power. It will be bad if you are killed by the lake bandits. "
With that said, Lu Li left the castle. He said to Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven who were waiting outside, "Help me see off Lord Xu and Young Master Xu. I have something else to do. I will leave now.
Remember, you must protect Young Master Xu. Don't let him die in the territory of the Blood Evil Island. "
"Bang ~"
From inside came a muffled sound. In a fit of rage, Xu Yaoyang smashed the table next to him. Xu Sihe stood up with a straight face and said, "Go back."
Xu Sihe left with Xu Yaoyang. Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven saw them off, trembling with fear. When they came back, they found Lu Li who was standing on the peak of the Elephant Dragon Mountain. Patriarch Seven solemnly said, "Island Owner, do you really want to fall out with the Xu Family openly?"
"What else?"
Lu Li looked at Patriarch Seven coldly and said, "It is clear that the Xu Family wants to deal with me. No amount of Xuan Crystals will help. If they want to play, then so be it."
Seeing that Patriarch Seven and Liu Yi's expressions were getting worse, Lu Li said after a pause, "What?
Are you afraid?
If you don't want to fight, fine. Just give me the Earth Dragon Island.
You can announce to the public that I have left the Blood Evil Island. I will take all the responsibility. "
Patriarch Seven was hesitating. Liu Yi, on the other hand, said without hesitation, "Everything that the Liu Family has now is given by you, Island Owner. Island Owner, if you want to fight, then the Liu Family will fight to the last man."
Patriarch Seven thought about it. Without Lu Li, the final outcome of the Liu Family would be destruction. They were all tied to the same chariot. The Liu Family had been branded with Lu Li's mark. They could not be separated.
Soon, Patriarch Seven nodded and said, "We are willing to go through thick and thin with you, Island Owner."
"Good!"
Lu Li squinted. He looked towards the God-down Island and said with a grin, "Then we will have some fun with the Xu Family."
