Lu Li was brought back to the Dragon's Pavilion. He stayed in the same attic with Ming Yu and Yu Huashen. Mo Ye, on the other hand, didn't stay with them. He had his own room.
Lu Li's soul was invaded by Great Patriarch. Even though he was driven out by the silver dragon in his Soul Pond, his soul was still hurt and he passed out.
He slept for two days and two nights before he woke up. After waking up, he felt a headache from time to time.
After he woke up, the Eighth Elder came over and fed him some soul-nourishing elixirs. Only then did he feel a little better.
The real name of Patriarch Eight was Lu Yunshan. Theoretically speaking, he was of the same generation as Lu Li's grandpa and he was even older than Lu Li's grandpa.
His current position in the family was that of the Head Steward. He was in charge of all the small matters of the family. Currently, the Eighth Elder was in charge of the external affairs of the family.
Lu Fenghuo, Lu Liantian and Fourth Patriarch Lu Dixian were from the same generation as Lu Li's father.
The reason why the three could become patriarchs and be so powerful was that they were disciples of the immediate Lu Family, cousins of Lu Renhuang.
The rest of the elders were all born in the branch family, and their ages varied. The oldest, the seventh elder, was already more than a thousand years old.
Mo Ye had explained all of this to Lu Li after he had visited him.
Lu Li thought about what he had seen and guessed. He felt the situation at the Lu Family was complicated.
The Lu Family … seemed to be divided into factions!
In other words, the Lu family wasn't united, and there might even have been internal strife?
Lu Li remembered that his father, Lu Renhuang, went to the Northern Desert and nobody went to the Northern Desert to look for him for 20 years. Lu Li felt uneasy.
After so many hardships and journeying across mountains and rivers, Lu Li finally returned to the Lu Family that he had been longing for day and night.
But!
When he returned to the Lu Clan, he did not see the scene he had been expecting. There were no Lu Clan disciples welcoming him back warmly. There were no clansmen hugging him with tears in their eyes. He did not see anyone close to him.
On the contrary …
His identity was being questioned and he was being questioned by the Lu Family. Even Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian wanted to kill him.
Even though he did not have anything to prove his identity, he knew the chant of the War God Album. He looked so much like Lu Renhuang. Also … he did not believe that anyone would have the guts to pretend to be a disciple of the Lu Family.
His grandfather was in seclusion?
Even if he was in seclusion, the clan elders should have the authority to inform him, right?
What if the Mystic Armor City was breached?
Could it be that he couldn't inform his grandfather and could only watch helplessly as the disciples of the Lu Clan were killed?
He was the only grandson of the Lu family's king.
Also, Lu Renhuang had been missing for 20 years. Now that he was back, shouldn't he inform his grandpa at once?
Moreover, it had been a day since he had woken up from his coma. Other than the Eighth Elder who had come once, Mo Ye had come once.
No elders came to visit, and no clansmen came to visit.
Patriarch Eight had said that Great Patriarch had confirmed Lu Renhuang's identity as a disciple of the Lu Family. Then why was Lu Renhuang's son so unpopular?
Lu Renhuang was the future Family Patriarch of the Lu Family, the most talented genius of the Central Plains in one hundred thousand years.
Everything was strange. There were too many questions. The patriarch's attitude towards him made Lu Li's burning heart turn cold …
He actually did not have much affection for the Lu Family. However, he had always been sure of one thing, and that was that this was his home, his roots. There were many people here who shared the same blood as him.
Lu Li sat on the bed all night thinking. He didn't fall asleep until the sun rose.
It was late in the morning when Patriarch Eight came again. This time, there was one more person, Patriarch Four, Lu Dixian.
They asked about Lu Li's injuries with concern. Lu Li said he was better but it would take some time for him to recover completely.
After some small talk, Lu Dixian said, "Lu Li, the family has confirmed that you are a disciple of the Lu Family. But some patriarchs are not sure that you are the son of Lu Renhuang. After all, you don't have any proof.
So … we are here to ask you if you know where your father is.
If you do, we will send someone to look for him at once.
As long as your father is back, everything will be fine. "
Lu Li had thought about this for a long time last night. He shook his head almost without thinking and said, "I have said it before. My parents went missing when I was born. I didn't even … see my father. I don't have any news about him.
If you can bring my sister back, I think she will know more. She has my father's token. "
"Your sister?" Lu Dixian frowned and asked, "You said your sister is at the Cyan Plains?
Is she your real sister? "
"Yes!"
Lu Li nodded with certainty and said, "She is my real sister. We share the same father and mother.
She was taken away by the Palace of Goddess at the Cyan Plains. She is of fire phoenix birth. They took her away by force. "
"Fire phoenix birth?"
Lu Dixian and Patriarch Eight, Lu Yunshan, looked at each other. Lu Dixian was angry. He snorted and said, "How dare the Palace of Goddess?
How dare they take away a disciple of the Lu Family?
Uncle Yunshan, how about I go there myself and destroy the Palace of Goddess? "
"No!"
Patriarch Eight shook his head and said, "Our family has given the order to seal off the city. Nobody can go out unless they have the permission of the Great Patriarch. If you go out, you will be violating the family rules."
Patriarch Eight thought about it and said, "Isn't Mo Ye here?
It is just a small Palace of Goddess. Mo Ye can send a message to the Palace of Blue Lions and bring some people there.
Don't make too much noise. Just bring Lu Li's sister back. We can talk about it later. "
Lu Li's eyes glowed. The Palace of Blue Lions was a seventh-rank force with at least three Human Sovereign Realm warriors. Mo Ye and the others could bring Lu Ling back easily.
What was more, Mo Ye represented the Lu Family. Unless the Palace of Goddess was tired of living, they wouldn't refuse.
At once, Lu Li said with excitement, "I will go with them. I want to bring my sister back in person."
"You?"
Patriarch Eight thought about it and said with a frown, "I don't think you should go. Your wounds are not healed yet. You have absorbed so much blood essence. You must cultivate as soon as possible or it will be wasted.
You are too weak. It will be useless even if you go. You can't teleport continuously, can you? "
"Okay."
Lu Li felt dizzy thinking about taking the Teleportation Formation. Also, it would take longer if he went. The wounds in his soul could not be cured in a day or two.
"Blood essence!"
He had forgotten about it. He asked after a pause, "This is good for cultivation?
I don't feel anything. "
"Blood essence is hiding in every part of your body. You will feel the benefits when you cultivate.
Not only will it be beneficial to your cultivation of profound strength, it will also be beneficial to the cultivation of your soul and physical body. "
Patriarch Eight explained and then added, "Later, I will have someone give you a book on soul cultivation. You take care of your wounds and cultivate for the next few days. We will talk about it after you have absorbed the blood essence and healed."
Lu Dexian added, "Yes, Lu Li, don't worry. We will send someone to bring your sister back. The Cyan Plains will not refuse a disciple of the Lu Family.
Also, what is your sister's name? Do you have a portrait? "
Lu Li told Lu Dixian about Lu Ling at once. Lu Dixian found an artist and asked Lu Li to draw a portrait of her.
Lu Li also told Mo Ye that he gave Han Wuxin 20 billion Xuan Crystals, that the Han Family helped him and that the Song Family was after him.
Lu Dixian left to find Mo Ye to make arrangements.
Patriarch Eight stayed behind and told Lu Li to focus on cultivation and not to worry about anything else. He would take care of it.
Seeing that Patriarch Eight was about to leave, Lu Li asked, "Patriarch Eight, is my grandpa … really in closed-door cultivation?"
Patriarch Eight paused. He turned around and said, "Lu Li, don't ask about this. Let's talk about it after we bring your sister back and find your father."
"Then … can I see my aunt?" Lu Li asked one last question.
