Lu Li's hand moved up and down. Pieces of flesh came off. Even Emperor of Feather, Emperor of Wings and Emperor of Mo found it hard to watch. They all turned around.
The young ladies, Family Patriarchs and patriarchs of small families were scared out of their wits. All of them were trembling.
For these small families, an elder of the Grim Reaper was a great figure. They could only look up to the Grand Elder, and the Big Shot was a legendary figure.
Now, one of the most powerful warriors was humiliated because of their young ladies. He had to cut his own flesh to make amends.
More importantly, he had to sentence his son to death. Even though Lu Li's soul could be preserved, it was a severe punishment nonetheless.
Those Family Patriarchs and Family Patriarchs did not feel good, nor did they feel the joy of revenge. All they felt was fear and dread.
They were not afraid of Lu Li's revenge. What they feared was Lu Li's subordinates, or the powerful warriors of the Lu Alliance — if they asked their boss to cut his flesh, then they would let all of their families die miserably.
One of the Family Patriarchs was smart. He crawled over, hugged Lu Li's leg and said, "Enough, enough. Emperor Lu, stop.
You have done enough. If you go on, we will have to die to make amends. "
"Yes, yes!"
The other patriarchs kowtowed to Lu Li in fear as well and said, "Emperor Lu, thank you for upholding justice for us.
You are a good man. You have done enough. We are happy. Don't go on or we will have to do the same. "
"Father!"
Lu An burst into tears. He took out a dagger and said, "It is my fault. Please let me suffer. If you go on like this, I will have to crush my own soul to make amends!"
Lu Li had cut off dozens of pieces of flesh. There was almost no flesh on one of his hands. He looked at the Family Patriarch of a small family who was kowtowing and Lu An who was in tears and full of remorse. Lu Li sighed and said, "Alright, Lu An, you do the rest yourself.
Emperor Mo and Emperor Yu, you deal with the rest! "
Lu Li knew that he had crossed the line. He would only be putting on a show if he persisted.
There was no need for him to put on a show in his position among the Grim Reapers. His true position was not something that could be achieved by putting on a show. Instead, it was brought about by one bloody battle after another and one victory after another.
Lu Li looked at Lu An and said, "Emperor of Feather, execute this unfilial son of mine. Keep his soul safe and arrange for me to rebuild my body.
After reconstructing his body, send him to the Valley of Condemnation to repent. "
Emperor of Feather nodded. Lu Li flew into the Lu Mansion and disappeared.
As soon as Lu Li left, the entire Tianyue City felt less oppressive. Everyone in the Hall of Penalty was relieved. Even the higher-ups of the Grim Reaper were trembling with fear.
Lu Li wasn't angry at all. Instead, he was punishing himself, but all the higher-ups of Grim Reaper felt that this was more frightening than being angry …
In the backyard of the Li Clan, Emperor Li sighed slightly. He could feel the atmosphere, and even he himself felt relieved.
Lu Li's power was so terrifying.
In the past, he had dreamed of challenging Lu Li's position. Now, it seemed that there was no chance at all. Lu Li's position as the leader had been engraved in the hearts of all the powerful warriors.
"Family Patriarch!"
A patriarch of the Li Family asked in a low voice, "Since Lu An is not going to die, can our son of a b * tch …"
"Fool!"
Emperor Li snorted. He threw him a cold glance and said, "Lu An is not dead because Lu Li cut off his own flesh. Are you saying … I should go out and cut myself?"
"Then go to hell!"
That patriarch touched his nose in embarrassment. The Li Family had many playboys like this. It wouldn't be a pity if one died.
The Li Family was disgraced, but Lu Li was even more humiliated. The patriarchs didn't dare to say anything.
Everyone in the Lu Union in Tianyue City let out a long sigh of relief. Those rich playboys were even more frightened. This incident had left a shadow in their hearts. It was likely that no one would dare to do evil in the future.
It didn't matter if they were playboys. But if they dared to do evil, they would have to consider if Lu Li would find out.
Lu Li had the courage to kill his own son. What were they to him?
Emperor Mo took care of the aftermath. Gu Xi and the other two were killed on the spot. The three families had acquiesced to the execution as a warning to others.
Therefore, Emperor Mo executed them in public to deter all the playboys of the Grim Reaper. He wanted them to know that playboys must have a bottom line or else they would end up like this.
Lu An cut himself and there was not a single piece of flesh left unharmed.
He was a man of integrity. He didn't disgrace Lu Li. He didn't let out a cry. In the end, he was slapped to death by Emperor Yu.
Emperor Yu was prepared. He took out a piece of artifact and sucked Lu An's soul in. Later, he would rebuild the body.
The Grim Reaper was rich now. Rebuilding the body was not a problem for them.
Also, they could use better treasures to rebuild the body. In this way, Lu An's aptitude would be better.
Of course … it would affect his cultivation. He might not even be able to reach the Saint Emperor in this lifetime, let alone reach the complete realm.
Those clans all received compensation, and it was a very heavy compensation.
In total, there were six families. Emperor Mo gave the order in person to grant them a small city next to the Tianyue City.
Next to the Tianyue City, they were under the watchful eyes of all the powerful figures. Who would dare to seek revenge and make things difficult for them?
The Family Masters and patriarchs of the small families were overjoyed. This was a blessing in disguise. The six families had the small city and the nearby land. In less than a hundred years, they would be able to soar.
They might not become major families, but at least they would be much more powerful than before.
Emperor Mo gave each of the six families a token. If there was a crisis that could threaten the survival of their families, they could use the six tokens. Emperor Mo would send someone to deal with it for them in person.
This was equivalent to six death-exemption medallions, and also six protective talismans.
Many small families in the city were envious. They wished they could give their young ladies to Lu An and the others to harm …
The six families had gained a lot by using a small city and having a token.
They all thanked Lu Ling profusely and left in delight. But the young ladies didn't leave. Lu Ling arranged for them to be taken away.
Their reputation would be ruined if they came here. They would be subjected to all kinds of rumors when they went back to their families. Some of them might even commit suicide. Lu Ling was meticulous.
She wanted to help Lu An and the others to atone for their crimes so she took them away.
They were secretly taken to a manor of the Lu Family. Lu Ling showed up in person, saying that she would take the young ladies as her protégés. She would give them many resources and train them to become top-level grim reapers.
Those young ladies were not talented. Because of their status as females, they were not valued in their families. Their realms were low.
Naturally, they were happy to hear that Lu Ling was the second most important person in the Lu Alliance and that she would focus on training them. They were confused in the first place and didn't know what to do next. Now, they had found a way out.
In the beginning, they hated Lu An, the Lu Family and Lu Li very much.
What Lu Li did today made them see Lu Li and the Lu Family in a new light. Lu Ling was a warrior of the Great Emperor Realm and the second most important person in the Lu Alliance. What else could they say when such a big shot was taking them as protégés?
The farce came to an end in the middle of the night.
It would take at least half a year for this matter to settle down. In a few days, the news would be spread across the entire grim reaper and the Chaotic Star Region.
By then, nobody could control whether there would be any negative repercussions or not …
