Third Heaven, City of Mystic Armor!
Lu Li had been missing for three years. During the three years, the entire Lu Family had been living a hard life. They felt like they were living a life worse than death.
That was right, living a life worse than death!
This was not an exaggeration. This was how the Lu Family felt.
The City of Mystic Armor had become an empty city. Apart from the Lu Family, everyone else had left. Even some disciples of the Lu Family left quietly. They went to other cities to live their lives incognito.
Life in the City of Mystic Armor was hard.
Over the past year, a group of people came to the City of Mystic Armor. They were not powerful warriors. They didn't make a scene in the city, nor did they attack the Lu Family.
The purpose of this group of people was to abuse and humiliate.
They stood outside the city all day long and hurled abuse. They took out feces, dead animals and other filthy things and threw them into the city. They burned Lu Li's portrait and even drew portraits of the Lu Family. They were insulting …
If it were a group of warriors, the Lu Family wouldn't show them any mercy.
The key was that this group of people were all powerless commoners. Some of them were old women, and some of them were children.
Some young men of the Lu Family were furious. They went out with their sabers, ready to scare the people away and teach them a lesson.
Unexpectedly, before the Lu Clan's disciples could make a move, the old women outside had already committed suicide …
As a result, news spread out that the Lu Family disciples were cruel and heartless. How could they kill civilians and old ladies?
Had the Lu Family become the dogs of the Abyss of Demons just like Lu Li?
Needless to say, the old ladies, children and old men were under someone's orders. Otherwise, how could some civilians do something like this to a famous Family of the Third Heaven?
How could they have the courage to commit suicide?
What about the Lu Family?
Could it be that he had to kill that group of people?
Drive them away by force?
What if they all committed suicide?
By then, the Lu Family's reputation would be ruined.
The Lu Family was already in the limelight. If this went on, the Lu Family might not be able to stay in the Third Heaven any longer.
What to do?
They would have to go back to the Second Heaven. By then, they might all be killed by their enemies.
Therefore, they had to swallow the humiliation. Lu Ling ordered the city gates to be closed. Apart from a small number of guards, everyone else went into the primitive realm to cultivate. Out of sight, out of mind.
So many people were in the Primitive Mystic Realm, unable to come into contact with the outside world.
More importantly, he was worried. Nobody knew what was going on with Lu Li. What if Lu Li died?
Or maybe Lu Li had been completely demonized. What should they do then?
Was he going to cultivate here for the rest of his life?
There was a primitive Mysterious Realm here that many forces would be jealous of. Things would be fine in the short term, but in the long term, there would be forces that would have their eyes on this place. Most importantly, Lu Li had many enemies.
For example, this matter was very likely caused by the Zhu Family.
Lu Li was missing and he was notorious. The entire Lu Family felt they had lost their backbone and soul.
Lu Ling, Yin Qingsi, Qi Dingdong and Xiang Linglong were all powerful warriors. But none of them could become the backbone of the Lu Family. They could not give the Lu Family a sense of security.
The bitterness in his heart was worse than death!
This was how many members of the Lu family felt. They couldn't share their bitterness with others and could only hide it in their hearts.
Lu Li's wives and concubines, in particular, were under great pressure. Their husbands' life and death were unknown, which made them bitter. Now, they had to endure the abuse of others and pretend that nothing had happened to stabilize the morale of the Lu Family. How could they not be bitter?
They had to endure hardships and endure humiliation!
The Lu Family had to hold on and wait.
They all believed in Lu Li. They believed that he would not surrender, that he would create another miracle and that he would come back with glory.
The morale of the entire Third Heaven was unstable. Lu Li's surrender had a great impact. What was more, Emperor of Freedom had gone missing for a long time. Many people thought he was dead.
Emperor of Freedom went to the Northern Plains with Lu Li last time. Lu Li surrendered but Emperor of Freedom went missing and there was no news for a long time.
Emperor of Freedom used to be free and unfettered. But since he joined the northern theater of operations, he had been obedient.
If he were still alive, he would go back to the Flying Cloud City, or at least send a message.
The death of the Reincarnation Emperor had already devastated the people of the Third Heaven. If Emperor of Freedom were to die as well, then it would be a great loss for the Third Heaven.
Emperor of Freedom had always had a good reputation, much better than Emperor Candle Heaven.
Emperor of Freedom was the kind of person that contributed quietly and didn't want to fish for fame.
What he had done over the years was praised by the world. The more low-key he was, the more he was loved by the world.
Immortal of Heaven Sin never organized a counterattack, which disappointed the world. They had thought that Immortal of Heaven Sin would lead them to reclaim the lost land and drive out the Abyssal Demon warriors.
Little did they expect that this Saint King would not be of much help. The world was disappointed.
On the other hand, the Abyssal Demon warriors kept attacking. Though they were beaten back every time, the human side was suffering a great loss.
Several months ago, the north and south were attacking at the same time. The north side feinted and the south side attacked. Saint Ancestor Yun even secretly came here.
If it were not for Immortal of Heaven Sin, Emperor Candle Heaven would not have survived and would have been killed.
Even so, the south side suffered a great loss. One Overlord Realm warrior, dozens of lords, and more than five million troops were lost.
There were only so many Overlord Realm warriors in the Third Heaven. The number of Overlord Realm warriors that had come out was the majority.
According to Immortal of Heaven Sin and Emperor Candle Heaven, there were no more than 10 Overlord Realm warriors that had been hiding.
Including the Overlord Realm warriors that had died, the number of Overlord Realm warriors in the three Third Heaven was less than half.
Overlord Realm warriors were hard to come by. In all these years, only Lu Li had appeared.
Every death of an Emperor-level expert would cause countless people to grieve and feel even more fear and unease.
Some families had secretly entered the Secret Realms and started to manage those Secret Realms and small worlds.
More people could not go anywhere. They could only wait for the situation to get better or sink into oblivion forever.
Spring went and spring came. Flowers bloomed and wilted!
In the blink of an eye, six years had passed. The Abyssal Demon and the human side were still in a stalemate. For the past six months, the Abyssal Demon had been peaceful. There had been no attacks.
The more peaceful the Abyssal Demon was, the more likely it was that a large-scale operation was brewing. Generally speaking, the Abyssal Demon would attack once every month. This was also the Abyssal Demon's way of training and strengthening the low-level warriors.
Immortal of Heaven Sin sent Immortal of Purple Cloud to the south side and told him to send a message at once if anything happened.
Immortal of Heaven Sin was afraid that the Abyssal Demon and the Abyssal Demon would split up and attack at the same time.
As expected!
After another month, the Abyssal Demon's army began a large-scale attack. First, it was the north side and then the south side.
Immortal of Purple Cloud and Emperor Candle Heaven led a group of Overlord Realm warriors to meet the enemy, but they found Saint Ancestor Yun.
