A grand battle that had been planned for a long time came to an end soon after Lu Li showed up.
Though many warriors and powerful warriors of the Yin Family died, it was a great victory. Cang Sui, the Family Patriarch of the Cang Family, and five other Quasi-Emperors were killed. More than a dozen warriors of the Sixth Tribulation were killed by Lu Li.
Hundreds of thousands of warriors were killed and 300,000 were captured. The Cang Family had suffered a great loss. The families allied with the Cang Family suffered great losses as well. They could no longer challenge the Yin Family.
Even though it was only a fight between two families, this was a special time so people were paying attention to it.
The forces outside might not know but at least those at the Chilly Winter Land were paying attention.
There were many scouts lurking here. The news of the battle spread throughout the Chilly Austere Continent, and then to the Third Heaven.
When Lu Li learned that the Lu Family had moved to the Third Heaven, the territory of the Yin Family, he flew into a rage.
Not only did the Cang Family want to destroy the Yin Family, but his family as well?
Did the Wu Family and the Shan Family behind the Cang Family just want to destroy the Yin Family?
Were they not trying to vent their anger by killing his family and friends?
Lu Li had been thinking about the catastrophe at the Third Heaven. He asked Yin Fushun and the others not to kill the captives in case the Abyss of Demons would become a laughing stock.
When he learned that Lu Renhuang was at the territory of the Yin Family, he sent out a notice through the Yin Family!
The notice was sent out in his own name. It was a lengthy and eloquent article, full of emotions. His words revealed his anger.
The general meaning of the article was questioning why the Cang Family would kill their own when the human race was facing a catastrophe and could be destroyed at any time.
For the Third Heaven, Lu Li risked his life to blow up the altar. Now, someone was trying to murder his family at the Broken Sword Mountain?
Was there any justice in the world?
The announcement that Lu Li asked the Yin Family to send out soon spread across the Third Heaven along with the fight.
The Third Heaven was in an uproar. Lu Li didn't die?
He made it back?
The family of General Yong Yi, one of the acknowledged heroes of the human race, was almost wiped out?
It was okay for some families to kill each other in front of a formidable enemy. But General Yong Yi's family?
This was insane!
The entire Third Heaven was filled with curses and crusades against the Cang Family. Many families also sent out notices to support Lu Li.
He questioned the two supreme commanders of the Human Race at the same time. Why did such a thing happen?
Why did no one stop the Cang Clan from attacking Broken Sword Mountain?
Now, the two Great Emperors were talking about uniting the entire Third Heaven to fight against the enemy together.
They talked about righteousness, unity, fraternity and mutual help. But now, they were dealing with the relatives of their hero. If it were not for the fact that Lu Li had come back, the Yin Family would have been wiped out.
All of Lu Li's families had died as well, right?
For the sake of the human race, Lu Li was not afraid of death. He blew up the altar.
Otherwise, the Ancestral Demon would have descended long ago, and the Human race would have been annihilated.
Lu Li had made such a great contribution and now someone wanted to murder his family?
The most important thing was that the upper echelons of the Human Race were indifferent. This made people feel bitterly disappointed …
Why did countless martial artists flock to the two battlefields?
Although some of them did it for resources and opportunities.
But most of the martial artists did it to protect the Third Layer of Heaven, to protect their families and loved ones. After all, if the nest was overturned, there would be no intact eggs.
Many people fought in blood, many shed blood on the battlefields, and many died without leaving a complete body.
But their clansmen might be murdered, so what was the point of them fighting?
The upper echelons of the Human Race couldn't even uphold basic justice. What was the point of having a commander like this?
The unity that Reincarnation Emperor and other upper echelons of the Human Race had built up with great difficulty was on the verge of collapse.
If the Human Race was not united, then how could they survive this catastrophe?
Could they fight against hundreds of millions of Abyssal Warriors with just some Great Emperor Realm warriors?
Not to mention that many Great Emperor Realm warriors were not happy about this.
On the third day, Reincarnation Emperor issued a notice in a strict tone. The notice was all on Lu Li's side.
Reincarnation Emperor asked for an explanation from the Cang Family. If they could not satisfy Lu Li, he would seek justice for Lu Li in person.
Reincarnation Emperor had made a clear stand on Lu Li's side. If he had any concerns before, he had nothing to worry about after Lu Li showed up and suppressed the Cang Family with Great Emperor Realm warriors.
Next, Emperor Candle Heaven issued a notice as well. In the notice, he apologized to the world, stating that he was not in charge. How could such a thing happen at the Chilly Winter Land?
He had asked three Great Emperor Realm warriors to investigate this matter. In a few days, he would give an explanation to Lu Li and the Yin Family.
At the same time, he stated righteously that before the Abyssal Warriors left, if he found any more killings among the Human Race, he would personally kill the Family Patriarch that started the trouble.
With just one notice, Emperor Candle Heaven absolved himself of all responsibility. He also stated with righteous words that if something like this happened again in the future, he would punish severely and maintain his image of selflessness.
Of course, no matter how hard he tried to clear his name, Emperor Candle Heaven's prestige was inevitably weakened.
People were not idiots. How could they not know when something happened right under their noses?
What was more, the Cang Family and the Yin Family had been in conflict for a long time. The war did not break out all of a sudden. The war had been going on for half a year. No matter how ill-informed they were, they should know about it.
What was more, he was the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations.
If they didn't even know about such a big thing, then what right did they have to be the commander?
Did they not know if an army from the Abyssal Warriors went into the hinterland of the Human Race or the Godly Wind Land?
Many things were well known but they would not point it out.
However, once the matter was brought to the surface, everyone would become sanctimonious and righteous.
Three Great Emperor Realm warriors went to the Cang Family to investigate and soon came back with a report. Emperor Candle Heaven also issued an announcement — this was indeed the Cang Family's fault. There was no need for discussion or trial.
He punished the Cang Family on behalf of the southern battlefield. He ordered all warriors above the peak of the Fourth Tribulation Realm of the Cang Family and the other 30 families to join the southern battlefield and serve for 10,000 years within three months. Otherwise, they could be free after the army from the Abyssal Warriors left.
If the Cang Family was not willing to accept the punishment, then Emperor Candle Heaven would kill all the powerful warriors of the Cang Family in person.
After the news spread out, the Third Heaven quieted down. This was a heavy punishment.
If all the powerful warriors above the peak of the Fourth Tribulation Realm of the Cang Family went to the battlefield, then the Cang Family would not be able to protect their territory. If all the core forces of the Cang Family went to the battlefield, many of them would die or even be wiped out.
The Cang Family was finished!
Even if some of the powerful warriors survived, the Cang Family and the other dozens of families were destined to be defeated.
If they couldn't protect their territory, then they could only shrink their forces. Without territory, there would be no resources. Without resources, how could they nurture powerful warriors on a large scale?
If they couldn't nurture powerful warriors continuously, when all their powerful warriors died in the southern battlefield, how could they rise again?
Other than the feud with the Yin Family, Cang Family definitely had other enemies.
No one might target the Cang Family in a short period of time, but after a long time, there would definitely be old demons or powerful forces coveting the wealth that the Cang Family had accumulated over the years. If the Cang Family didn't hide well, then they might be exterminated.
