It was very difficult to establish faith. In the past, the Reincarnation Emperor had established his faith once. However, after the death of the Reincarnation Emperor, his faith crumbled once.
Then, Lu Li and Immortal Tianzui rebuilt their faith. Now, Lu Li had surrendered to the enemy?
If it were not for the fact that Immortal Tianzui was still alive, the entire Third Heaven would be in chaos.
If Lu Li had only died in battle, then the impact wouldn't be so bad. But Lu Li had surrendered to the enemy, which was tantamount to turning his back on the human race. This was a heartless betrayal.
Lu Li was the idol of the young generation. Many people worshipped him passionately. Many regarded him as a spiritual pillar and a goal to surpass in their lifetime.
But now, this idol had become a shameless traitor. He had betrayed the entire human race and the people who supported him, believed in him, loved him, and worshipped him.
The death of Reincarnation Emperor was the collapse of faith. Lu Li's surrender was more like the collapse of his spiritual pillar. This was a serious blow to the morale of the army.
In the two war zones, countless soldiers were cursing loudly. Many people were crying loudly. Many people were dead drunk. Even more people had a sad and sorrowful expression on their faces.
Among the people, many statues of Lu Li were carried out and burned. Many portraits of Lu Li were torn into pieces. Some large statues in the cities were smashed.
All of a sudden, Lu Li was regarded as a traitor. Many cities in the Third Heaven were swearing at Lu Li. Many people suggested to conquer the Mystic Armor City.
They suggested killing all of Lu Li's family and hanging their bodies on the city wall so that Lu Li could see the consequences of turning his back on the human race.
Of course, this was only a minority. Who dared to do anything when Immortal Tianzui was here?
Lu Li's family members were not guilty.
The Mystic Armor City was in chaos!
The Mystic Armor City was lively. Not only the Lu Family, but many smaller families had come to the Mystic Armor City to attach themselves to the Lu Family.
Some warriors had settled down in the Mystic Armor City so the city was lively.
Now, the Mystic Armor City was in chaos. Many people started to evacuate. The smaller families decided to move, regardless of the attitude of the Lu Family.
Many small families had moved here because they had arranged marriages with disciples of the immediate Lu Family. Now, the young ladies that had married into the Lu Family were called back and evacuated with the families.
Some families that had some properties in the Mystic Armor City couldn't care less now. They had to evacuate first, fearing that they would be killed if they were late.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!
The once bustling city had become empty in just a few days. Some of the soldiers and experts who had sought refuge with the Lu Clan had also left.
Originally, the Lu Family had four Lords and Elders. Now, only one was left.
The disciples of the Lu Clan were in disbelief when they received the news. After receiving confirmation, all of them fell silent. They didn't even dare to go out for fear of seeing the strange gazes of others.
Many people had married wives, but when they returned home, they found that their wives had suddenly run away. They cursed and cursed, and then howled and cried. There were also many people who gathered together and did not speak. They drank to drown their sorrows, and as they drank, they began to cry.
Compared to the disciples of the Lu family, the higher-ups of the Lu family were much more stable.
Without Lu Li, Lu Ling was the leader of the Lu Family. Even Lu Renhuang listened to her.
Not only was his daughter powerful, but she was also intelligent and had the air of a great general.
Lu Ling didn't do anything about what was happening in the City of Mystic Armor, including the girls of small families running away.
She did not issue any orders to manage the city. She only sealed off the rear courtyard. She did not send out any orders, nor did she see anyone.
There was no crying in the rear courtyard of the Lu Family. Instead, it was peaceful!
In addition to Lu Ling and Lu Renhuang, Lu Li's wives and concubines were not panicking. For them, Lu Li's survival was more important than anything else.
Surrender?
Lu Ling and the others would never believe that. Even though it was proven that Lu Li had surrendered, they still did not believe it.
Instead, they were wondering if this was a special operation planned by Lu Li and Immortal Tianzui.
They knew Lu Li too well. They had been living together for so many years and they had been through so many things together. They had faith in Lu Li.
They never thought that Lu Li would surrender. There was no doubt at all.
Since Lu Li would not surrender, then there must be something fishy going on. Maybe, this was a secret operation?
Was Lu Li surrendering on purpose?
Lu Ling and the others didn't care about the public opinion and the turmoil in the city. They could not control other people's mouths.
If the City of Mystic Armor wanted to be in chaos, then so be it. If the families wanted to leave, then so be it. The Lu Family was just a small family. It didn't matter if they lost their assets.
As long as Lu Li could come back alive, nothing else mattered. If Lu Li could not come back, then those people would not be able to stay.
"Master will not surrender to the Abyss of Demons. He will not!"
An Luer said with determination after she got the news. She even said angrily, "Those who scolded Master deserve to die!"
Five days later, Lu Ling left with Qi Dingdong and Jiang Qiling. They teleported to the Flying Fire Continent at the Flying Clouds City.
They wanted to ask Immortal Tianzui. Jiang Qiling was Lu Li's wife and Qi Dingdong was the descendant of the Reincarnation Emperor. Immortal Tianzui would summon them.
Sure enough!
They arrived at the Flying Clouds City. Immortal Tianzui received them after Lu Ling asked for permission.
Someone from the Purple Clouds Town led them in and they met Immortal Tianzui in a side chamber.
The three bowed with respect. Immortal Tianzui waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so courteous. Lu Li and I are good friends. Please, take a seat."
Maids served them tea. Immortal Tianzui waved everyone away and asked, "What are you worried about? You have come such a long way.
Don't worry. I have asked Zi Yun to spread the word that I will kill anyone that dares to mess around at the City of Mystic Armor. "
Lu Ling and the other two stood up and thanked him. Immortal Tianzui had done them a great favor. In the end, he said to kill without mercy, not to pursue the matter.
These words were much more serious. Not to mention the Yang Emperor and the Phoenix Empress, even the Candle Heaven Great Emperor wouldn't dare to mess with them.
After Lu Ling expressed her gratitude, she bowed solemnly and said, "Immortal, based on our understanding of Lu Li, he will never surrender. We are here to ask if there is any inside story."
Immortal Tianzui thought about it. He didn't answer Lu Ling's question directly. He said, "Since you trust Lu Li so much, then you don't have to ask too many questions. Go back and wait.
When Lu Li comes back, he will tell you everything. "
The three's eyes glowed and they were more confident. They asked no more questions. Immortal Tianzui had guaranteed the safety of the Lu Family. When Lu Li came back, all the mysteries would be revealed. If so, what else was there for them to ask?
"Zi Yun!"
Immortal Tianzui shouted after some thoughts. Immortal Tianzui walked in.
Immortal Tianzui waved his hand and said, "Escort them back to the City of Mystic Armor in person. Also, send two warriors to the City of Mystic Armor to stay there in case some thieves make trouble."
"Thank you, Immortal Tianzui!"
Lu Ling and the others were relieved. Immortal Tianzui was escorting them in person, which represented the will of Immortal Tianzui. Anyone that dared to mess around would be an enemy of Immortal Tianzui.
