The Guan Family had an old Emperor Guan who used to be a famous powerful warrior of the Celestial Emperor Sect. He was on good terms with the other emperors of the Celestial Emperor Sect and offered some help.
This time, the Guan Family used these connections. They had to kill Lu Li to preserve the Guan Family's reputation. Otherwise, the Guan Family would have a hard time in the future.
Lu Li's mind was weighed down by the fact that the emperors were speaking for him. He cupped his fists and said, "Lords, as I said, I admit that I killed Guan Qianqiu and the patriarchs of the Guan Family.
What I want to say is, can anyone bully the disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect?
Can anyone assassinate them?
If they are dead, there is nothing to say. But if they are still alive, can't I get back at the murderer?
Do I have to report it to the higher-ups and get permission from the sect before I can get revenge?
What if the sect doesn't agree? Then I can't get revenge, right?
Am I being bullied for no reason? "
"Not long after I joined the sect, I went to another place to cultivate. I don't know the unspoken rules of the sect.
I used to repay kindness with kindness. I would kill anyone that tried to kill me. I don't care if it was the Liu Family or the Guan Family.
If the seniors of the sect ask me to do something, I will not fight back when people are insulting me or beating me up. I will never leave the Celestial Emperor Sect. What if I am bullied or killed? Where can I go? "
Lu Li's words were spoken out of anger. What he was implying was clear — the Celestial Emperor Sect, as the most powerful sect in the world, would not help its disciples when their disciples were bullied, but outsiders …
The disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect were in a heated discussion. If disciples of the most powerful sect in the world were living in cowardice like Lu Li said, then what would be the prestige of the most powerful sect in the world?
As disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect, what was the difference between them and a small sect?
"How dare you!"
Before the other emperors and Fang Wen could say anything, Emperor Rui had lost his temper. He slammed the table and stood up in anger, "Lu Li, how can you talk to your seniors like this?
Apologize! "
Lu Li cupped his fists in front of his chest and said with a wronged expression, "Dear elders, I spoke out of anger. Please forgive me."
Emperor Rui and Lu Li echoed each other. The disciples outside were talking about it, which made the two emperors in the room feel awkward.
It was a fact that Lu Li was assassinated. Lu Li killed three assassins and found out that the mastermind was Guan Qianqiu. This should be a fact as well.
In other words, Guan Qianqiu's audacity to hire assassins to kill a Celestial Emperor Sect disciple was a provocation to the Celestial Emperor Sect.
There were so many disciples outside. If the sect didn't back up their disciples and instead helped outsiders, it would disappoint the hearts of the Heavenly Emperor Sect's disciples.
Guan Shanyue's face was clouded by the gloomy expressions of the two emperors. After a while, Guan Shanyue said again, "Guys, according to what many people saw that day, Lu Li has become a beast. A disciple of the Heaven Emperor Sect is a beast. Shouldn't you give an explanation to everyone in the Endless Ruins of Divinity?"
"Hmph!"
Emperor Rui said nothing. But Emperor Heng snorted and said, "Family Leader Guan, this is an internal affair of the Celestial Emperor Sect. Do not meddle in our affairs again and again. If Lu Li really is a beast, we will deal with him. You don't have to worry."
Emperor Rui turned to Lu Li and asked, "What is going on?
Tell me! "
"This is a skill I have mastered, called Dragon Transformation!"
Lu Li didn't hide anything. After all, the news had spread. He explained, "Master, I was cultivating my body in the Pool of Ancestral Dragon but I accidentally absorbed all the blood. I learned a skill contained in the blood of Ancestral Dragon.
I can show it to you right now. You are all powerful warriors. You can tell right away. "
"Okay. Show us!" Emperor Rui nodded.
Lu Li mobilized the dragon qi in his acupoints at once. Following that, a horrifying surge of qi and blood surged out of his body. His robe burst open and scales grew out of his body. Then came the dragon tail, wings, horns and claws. Lu Li had become a dragon man.
"What ~"
Another commotion broke out. Lu Li's energy was horrifying. He gave people the feeling that he was a ferocious beast.
The warriors of the Great Emperor Realm were surprised. They had been checking the changes in Lu Li's body. When he used the Dragon Transformation, nothing could escape their notice.
Emperor Heng was the first to say, "This is a skill, no doubt about it. Lu Li is not a beast. Lu Li, you can deactivate this skill now."
Everyone here was powerful. Lu Li's change could not escape their notice.
This was a skill, not Lu Li's transformation from a ferocious beast.
If they couldn't even tell this apart, then they were all blind.
Lu Li forced a smile and said, "Emperor Heng, I have just learned this skill and I haven't learned how to deactivate it.
If it were not for this skill, I would have been killed by the three assassins. They are at the middle stage of the lord's realm! "
"Let me help you!"
The Rui Emperor moved and slapped on Lu Li's back, forcing the dragon energy in Lu Li's body into his acupoints.
The dragon scales over Lu Li's body disappeared. His wings and tail were gone. Lu Li was naked.
There were many female disciples outside and Wang Ningxue was here. They looked away, blushing.
Luckily, the Rui Emperor released a shield to cover Lu Li up. Otherwise, Lu Li would have been exposed to everyone.
Lu Li put on his robe quickly. Even though he had only used the Dragon Transformation, he was much weaker. He seemed to be a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness.
Fang Wen did not know how to decide. He could not afford to offend either side. On one side, it was Emperor Rui and Emperor Heng. On the other side, it was the Guan Family Patriarch and the two emperors he was on good terms with.
If Lu Li said he was wrong, then he was wrong. If he said he was right, then he could be justified.
If he said it was a light judgment, then Guan Shanyue would not be happy. If he said it was a heavy judgment, then Emperor Rui and Emperor Heng would not be happy. Fang Wen was in a dilemma.
"Alright!"
Guan Shanyue said again, "Let's take a step back. Let's say that Guan Qianqiu instigated this and you killed Guan Qianqiu.
But what about Patriarch Liu and the one hundred warriors?
What did they do wrong?
You could have hurt them if you wanted to. Why did you kill them?
As long as you can provide evidence, the Guan Family will not cover up for Guan Qianqiu. We will give you and the Celestial Emperor Sect an explanation. But you killed him. This is the greatest provocation to the Guan Family. "
Guan Shanyue was relentless. He had no other way out. Without a dignified way out, the Guan Family would be disgraced.
He had to be aggressive and hope that the Celestial Emperor Sect could give him an explanation and a way out.
Emperor Rui and Emperor Heng said nothing. They could not say more for Lu Li. After all, Lu Li had crossed the line.
If Lu Li had evidence, for example, leaving one assassin alive, they would not let it go. Guan Qianqiu would not be able to escape death.
But Lu Li had taken the risk. He had slapped the Guan Family in the face …
"Provocation?"
Right at that moment, a cold voice came from outside. As soon as the voice came out, a man appeared out of nowhere next to Lu Li. It was an old man in a black robe. He did not have a strong qi and energy, but his eyes gave people the feeling that they were as deep as the sea, unfathomable.
Looking at Guan Shanyue, he said, "I think the Guan Family is provoking the Celestial Emperor Sect. How dare you assassinate disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect?
You Guan Clan people are really daring.
Guan Shanyue, if I do not give you an explanation, will the Guan Family go on with the assassination?
Until all the disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect are killed? "
