Whatever the reason, the remnant soul had harmed so many people. It was unforgivable.
The little girl could be forgiven, but Lu Li must destroy the remnant soul. Not even God could save him.
"Uncle, I beg you, I beg you!"
The little girl's eyes were filled with fear on hearing Lu Li's words. Her family was destroyed and she was all alone. Now, the remnant soul of her great grandpa was about to be destroyed. How could she not be scared?
Not scared.
"Lord!"
The remnant soul spoke again. He made a shadow, knelt on the ground and said, "I know I have sinned and cannot be forgiven. You don't have to destroy me. I will end my own life.
But Lu-er is not guilty. Please forgive her.
She has the Holy Body of Frigid Shade, which is hard to come by in 100,000 years. Our family used to have elixirs that could suppress the cold toxins in her body.
Now that my entire family is dead, I am only left with a remnant soul, so there is no other way, I can only rely on this despicable and shameless method to extend her life. She is the hope of our entire family's revenge, even if I go to hell, never to return, as long as Lu Er can grow up and help us take revenge, I will die without regrets. "
Lu Li said nothing. It was understandable. Any other powerful warrior would have done the same.
But since he had done these things, his sin was unforgivable. He had to die. Otherwise, what would happen to the innocent people?
"Holy Body of Frigid Shade?"
Lu Li had heard of this kind of physique. It was a rare one in 10,000 years, similar to Linglong's Body of Frigid Shade but more powerful.
But there were pros and cons. This physique would be attacked by cold air for the rest of her life. She had to rely on elixirs of extreme yang to prolong her life.
Lu Li took a look at An Luer. She had reached the Second Tribulation Realm. She was only seven or eight years old and she had passed two Heaven Tribulations. She was a genius.
Lu Li thought about it and asked, "Who is the enemy of your family?
Why does he want to destroy your family? "
"Enemy?"
The remnant soul's face suddenly became ferocious, and its body was full of resentment. Before the remnant soul spoke, An Luer said with a guilty face, "It's all because of Luer. It's all Luer's fault. If Luer hadn't gone to Cold Haze City, she wouldn't have been discovered by that devil.
That demon wanted Lu-er so he hired someone to kill our family. "
"Eh?"
A glint of coldness flashed in Lu Li's eyes. It was because of the Holy Body of Frigid Shade?
Who could be so deranged?
Lu Li turned to the remnant soul who was hesitating. A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li's eyes as he said, "Say it. I will not protect anyone. If I can kill him, I will avenge the An Family!"
"No!"
At this moment, An Luer said firmly, "The revenge of our An family must be cleansed by our people.
Zhu Fan, this devil, Lu 'er swears that as long as I don't die, I will definitely kill him and avenge my father, mother, brother, and the whole clan. "
"Zhu Fan?"
Lu Li was taken aback. He asked back, "Are you sure it is Zhu Fan?
The youngest grandson of Emperor Candle Heaven?
Wasn't he sent back to the clan? "
Instead of answering Lu Li's question, the remnant soul asked, "My lord, are you … Emperor Lu, the brave and resolute general?"
Lu Li nodded. The remnant soul was so young that it would be easy for the higher-ups of major families to tell who he was.
The remnant soul was relieved and said, "Emperor Lu, the entire An family was indeed killed by Zhu Fan. This is not a small matter. You can go and ask around. Our An family is considered to be a slightly famous family.
Our Family Patriarch and Chief Patriarch died at the southern theater of operations. We took An Luer to pay our respects to them. But at the Chilly Smoke City, that bastard Zhu Fan fancied Lu-er. He wanted to take her back and raise her for a while so that she could be his cultivation vessel. "
"So, when we came back, he went to our door and said he wanted to take Lu-er as his concubine.
Lu-er is the hope of our entire family. How can we say yes?
He didn't say anything. That night, our family was ambushed by three mysterious powerful warriors. I risked my life to escape with Lu-er or else the consequences would be unimaginable … "
"Zhu Fan, hmm!"
Lu Li snorted. After a moment of silence, he looked at the remnant soul and said, "Go. I will get to the bottom of this. If it is true, I will adopt An Luer and keep her safe for the rest of her life.
If she can achieve something in the future, I will let her kill Zhu Fan herself. "
"Thank you, Emperor Lu. Thank you!"
The remnant soul was overjoyed. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed. As a warrior of the Emperor Realm, Lu Li's words were law.
Even though Lu Li had a reputation of being both good and evil, the remnant soul had never heard of him doing evil deeds, at least not bullying the weak.
The remnant soul knew very well that this was not the way to go. An Luer would either be found by Zhu Fan or his remnant soul would be shattered by powerful warriors. Eventually, An Luer would end up on the streets. She might be snatched away by some thug or torn apart by the beasts in the mountains …
"Lu-er!"
The remnant soul smiled and said with affection, "Forefather's sin is unforgivable. It is pointless to keep an remnant soul. Those who died innocently cannot allow my remnant soul to live on.
Lu-er, work hard and listen to Emperor Lu. Do not forget the blood feud between the An Family. Later, take Zhu Fan's head and offer it to our souls in heaven. "
"Forefather, no, no!"
Young as An Luer was, she was sensible enough. She knew that her forefather was about to shatter the remnant of his soul. Her face was covered in tears. She kept kowtowing to Lu Li and begged, "Emperor Lu, please, don't let my forefather die. If he dies, I will have no family left."
Lu Li said nothing. He was determined. The remnant soul took another look at An Luer. Then, with a tremble, it vanished in the air.
"Forefather, don't leave me here. Sob, sob, sob!"
An Luer trembled and choked with sobs. After a while, she passed out on the ground.
"Zhu Fan, this is all your fault!"
Lu Li sighed. He fed the little girl a pellet and put it away into the Separation Bead.
Then, he took the old man controlled by the remnant soul to the village. He left the old man at the gate of the village and left.
Then, he teleported to a big city and went to the largest black market in the city to get some information.
At noon on the second day, he got accurate information.
Half a month ago, the An Family was wiped out by three mysterious powerful warriors. The lord of the An Family was furious and was investigating the murderers …
Lu Li didn't blindly believe it. He teleported to a city near the An Family and asked around to make sure that the information was true.
Zhu Fan did come to the An Family and some people saw him with their own eyes.
Now that the information was confirmed, Lu Li's words were the law. He would adopt An Luer and keep her safe.
But how to settle An Luer was a problem. Sending her back to the City of Mystic Armor to be adopted by Xiang Linglong or Lu Ling was one solution. But if Zhu Fan learned that An Luer was at the City of Mystic Armor, what if he had someone sneak into the City of Mystic Armor to kill him in order to cover up his scandal?
Now that he could slaughter the An Family so crazily, he could do something like that as well. After all, if An Luer told the truth, his reputation would be ruined.
If Lu Li went to the Immortal of Heaven Crime, maybe not even Emperor Candle Heaven could protect him.
Of course, Lu Li wouldn't go to the Immortal of Heaven Crime just for this. He didn't want to fall out with Emperor Candle Heaven in the current situation of the human race. Otherwise, the Abyss of Demons would laugh at him.
