"I am Du Ran of the Du Family. Nice to meet you, Young Master!"
An old man of the Noble Lord Realm walked over with a young Young Master and cupped his fists in front of Lu Li.
Lu Li was still vomiting, so much so that his bile was coming out.
The young Young Master next to Du Ran showed disdain in his eyes. Du Ran glared at him and the young Young Master restrained himself.
"Du Ran?"
The leader of the Palace of Peaceful Heavens looked at Du Ran, casually cupped his fists and said coldly, "You are a patriarch of the Du Family. You have no say in the Cloud City.
Teleporting people from the Northern Desert requires Xuan Crystals. This is the rule.
Now that Patriarch Du Ran has come, I will do you a favor and reduce the Xuan Crystals by half. "
Half was still 150 million Xuan Crystals. It was not that Yu Huashen could not afford the Xuan Crystals. It was just that this was bullying.
If he and Ming Yu were not at the Noble Lord Realm, they would swallow the humiliation. But now, a warrior of the Eternal Realm was bullying them.
Du Ran had white hair and beard. He looked old. He sneered and said, "The Palace of Peaceful Heavens is trying to humiliate the Du Family on purpose, isn't it?
Tai Hong, don't cross the line. We will meet again in the future. "
Tai Hong sneered and said, "Are you going to give me the Xuan Crystals or not?
If not, I will have to arrest you! "
"You?"
Ming Yu finally lost control of his anger. Violent qi and energy poured out from him, enveloping the area and suffocating Tai Hong.
Powerful warriors all had their dignity and pride. If Tai Hong was more powerful than them, they could just swallow the humiliation.
Ming Yu could kill a warrior of the Eternal Realm at any time. How dare he be so arrogant?
"Hmm!"
A cold snort suddenly came out. It exploded in Ming Yu's Soul Pond like a thunder from a clear sky.
Ming Yu's killing intent was weakened. His face turned pale and blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth.
"Xuan Skill of the soul category!"
Yu Huashen's pupils contracted. Only a powerful warrior that could hurt Ming Yu with a snort was at a higher realm than Ming Yu and could use Xuan Skills of the soul.
"Terry!" Du Ran's expression turned gloomy. He shouted, "Don't cross the line."
The mysterious powerhouse didn't show up, but a cold voice came, "If you don't pay the Xuan Crystals, take them all down. If they dare to make a move, kill them."
"Good, good, good!"
Du Zheng was so angry that his entire body was trembling. His storage ring lit up and he threw a storage ring to Tai Hong and said, "Our Du Family will remember this matter. We will definitely repay you in the future. Let's go."
Du Zheng winked at Yu Huashen and Ming Yu. Yu Huashen helped Lu Li out of the plaza.
There were two carriages parked outside the square. Everyone got on the carriages and went straight out of the city.
When they were out of the city, Lu Li finally stopped vomiting. He closed his eyes and rested for a while. He looked better.
"Buzz!"
Out of the city, Du Ran took out an Iron-armored Ship. He boarded the Iron-armored Ship with the four of them and flew straight to the south.
"Young Master Lu, I'm sorry!"
In the ship's hold, Du Zheng cupped his hands in guilt and said, "White Cloud Island is the territory of the Palace of Peaceful Heavens. The Palace of Peaceful Heavens is a faction of the same level as our Du Clan. We are both Grade 6.
Grand Master is more powerful than my Family Patriarch. Also, there is a talented disciple in their family. He has reached the peak of the Noble Lord Realm at the age of 40. He can reach the Human Sovereign Realm at any time. That is why he is so arrogant … "
Lu Li forced a smile and said, "This has nothing to do with Lord Du. Yu Huashen, do you have Xuan Crystals?
Give them back to Lord Du. "
"No, no, Young Master Lu, you must be joking!"
Du Ran waved his hand and said, "Du Zheng is my cousin. He told me to take care of you and make arrangements for you.
It is my fault that you have been mistreated. Take these Xuan Crystals as my apology.
Also, these Xuan Crystals are nothing to the Du Family. Young Master, don't worry about it. "
Du Ran was so sincere that Lu Li couldn't refuse his kindness. Lu Li cupped his fists, looked at the young master next to Du Ran and asked, "This is?"
"Oh, this is my grandson, Du Lun!"
Du Ran introduced. He stared at Du Lun and said, "Du Lun, bow to Young Master Lu."
Du Lun stood up lazily, cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Young Master Lu."
"Um, nice to meet you, Young Master Du."
Lu Li nodded. Du Lun was clearly looking down on him. Maybe it was because Lu Li's realm was too low?
Lu Li didn't mind at all.
He didn't mind at all. He looked at Du Zheng and said, "Master Du, where are we going now?
Also … can you give me a map of the Central Plains? "
"No problem."
The ring on Du Ran's hand glowed. He gave Lu Li a map and explained, "We are on the Clouds Island and we are flying towards the Dan City of the Central Plains. The Dan City is the headquarter of the Du Family.
Young Master, you can have some fun at the Dan City for a couple of days. Later, I will take you to the largest city at the north of the Central Plains, the City of Delicacy. We will take the Iron-armored Ship of the Delicacy Chamber of Commerce to the Heaven's Roars City.
At the Heaven's Roars City, you will need to take another Iron-armored Ship to get to the Mystic Armor Region. "
Lu Li glanced at the map and had a general understanding of the Central Plains.
The City of Delicacy was the main city at the north of the Central Plains while the City of Heaven's Roars was the main city at the northeast of the Central Plains. Both were territories occupied by Royal Families.
Lu Li thought about it and asked a question, "Lord Du, I heard that the Du Family is one of the four overlords at the north of the Central Plains.
Is the City of Delicacy also one of them? "
Du Lun put on a sarcastic smile. Du Ran forced a smile and said, "Young Master, you don't know this. The four overlords are just a rumor. The four minor overlords are more like it.
The overlord at the north of the Central Plains is the Pavilion of Delicacy, an Eighth-rank Family. We, the Du Family, are only at the Sixth-rank. How can we compete with the Pavilion of Delicacy? "
Du Ran pointed to the map and explained, "The entire northern Central Plains is under the influence of the Pavilion of Delicacy. That is the Royal Family.
The Du Family, the Palace of Peaceful Heavens, the Qin Family and the Yama Palace are the four most powerful forces under the Pavilion of Delicacy. That is why we are called the four overlords.
At the north of the Central Plains, the Pavilion of Delicacy is the supreme king. We, the four forces, are just four feudal lords. "
Lu Li understood now. Yu Huashen knew something about the situation here. Ming Yu, however, asked with confusion, "Are there no Seventh-rank Families or forces at the north of the Central Plains?"
"There used to be!"
Du Ran said, "Hundreds of years ago, there were two Seventh-rank forces. But a war broke out between the two forces.
In the end, one of the Families was wiped out and the other suffered heavy casualties. The Family was reduced to a Sixth-rank force, which is the Palace of Peaceful Heavens. "
Lu Li was shocked. He asked, "The Pavilion of Delicacy didn't do anything?"
"Ha, ha!"
Du Ran smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Young Master, you don't know much about the Central Plains. The 12 Royal Families of the Central Plains are the supreme kings.
As long as they are not provoked, they won't care even if all the Big Families are fighting.
They won't even care if … outside forces are fighting with their forces.
As long as their interests are not infringed, civilians are not slaughtered, and the rules they set are not broken, they will not care. "
"Um …"
Lu Li and Ming Yu looked at each other, speechless.
It was fine if they didn't care when the forces under them were fighting. How could they not care when the forces outside were attacking their brothers?
It was like when Xu Chen attacked the Blood Evil Island, the Bai Family could turn a blind eye.
But when the Yu Family attacked the Blood Evil Island or the God-down Island, the Bai Family would do something. Otherwise, who would listen to the Bai Family?
"The Central Plains is more chaotic than I thought …"
