Lu Li and the others were locked under a castle. This was the most heavily guarded prison in the Mystic Armor City.
Everything inside was made of cold iron. Not even warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm could break through.
Also, there were Noble Lord Realm warriors guarding outside the prison day and night. There was also a Human Sovereign Realm patriarch. Nobody could escape.
Lu Li and the others were brought in. They were all tied up by Demon Trapping Chains. As soon as the Human Sovereign Realm patriarch of the External Clan came in, he said, "Separate them. One for each of us."
Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were both at the Noble Lord Realm. It was easy for something to go wrong when the four of them were put together. Lu Li stared at the patriarch and said, "Separate them but I have to stay with my aunt."
"You have no right to speak here!"
The patriarch of the External Clan sneered. There were only three outcomes for those who were locked up here: exiled to the Omen Island, sentenced to death or locked up here for the rest of their lives.
Lu Li was calm. He squinted at the patriarch of the External Clan and said, "What is your name?
Are you so sure that my grandpa will not come out?
If he does, aren't you afraid that your entire family will be killed?
It is better to leave a way out. Don't block your way out completely. "
The patriarch of the External Clan was stunned. He stared at Lu Li but said nothing. He waved his hand and said, "Then I will do Young Master Li a favor and separate them."
Lu Li and Lu Feixue were put in a room with nice facilities. There was a bedroom, a bathroom and a toilet.
This was where important criminals were locked up. Those who could come here were big shots and the conditions were not bad.
Lu Feixue had been crying. After the patriarch of the External Clan left, she looked at Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, this is all my fault.
Later, I will beg the patriarchs to let me take the blame. You, you … don't be so impulsive in the future. Take care of yourself. "
Lu Li grabbed Lu Feixue's hands, led her to the bed and said with a smile, "Aunt, this is not your fault. It is me that they want to deal with.
You are not the one who implicated me. I am the one who implicated you. It doesn't matter whether you take the blame or not. "
"No, it's not like this."
Lu Feixue shook her head, her face filled with panic and guilt.
Lu Li patted her shoulder and said, "Auntie, don't worry too much. This is not a big deal. If Great Patriarch can step in, we will all be fine."
"Oh right …"
Lu Li asked after a pause, "Aunt, what happened at the Li Family? Why did you kill people?"
"Because everyone in the Li family deserves to die."
Speaking of this, Lu Feixue's eyes turned red. She gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't know it before. I only learned recently that Li Li, that bitch, had an affair with Zhao Lu …"
"Who's Zhao Lu?" Lu Li was confused.
"Who else could it be?"
Lu Feixue gnashed her teeth and said, "My former lover, the man who swore to me that he would never betray me …"
Lu Feixue talked for a long time. Her thoughts were jumpy. She mentioned one thing and another. Sometimes, she would gnash her teeth and sometimes, she would complain. She seemed to be babbling nonsense. Lu Li understood after a while.
Lu Feixue was deeply in love with a man named Zhao Lu, a young master of a small family.
Later, the Lu Family disagreed. Lu Zhengyang locked Lu Feixue up for three years and then married Qiu Wenze.
On the night of the wedding, Lu Feixue ran away to find Zhao Lu.
However, Zhao Lu's entire family disappeared. Lu Feixue thought that Zhao Lu's family was scared away by the Lu Family. She gave up and married Qiu Wenze.
Some time ago, Lu Feixue suddenly received news that someone saw Zhao Lu in the City of Mystic Armor with the granddaughter of an External Clan patriarch.
Lu Li happened to be in the middle of trying to reach the Fate Wheel Realm so he didn't know about this.
Lu Feixue didn't say anything either. She just sent someone to investigate secretly. On the day Lu Li was about to come out from cultivation, Lu Feixue sent someone to report — Zhao Lu and Li Li, Li Yuan's granddaughter, were in a tavern in the city.
Lu Feixue had been wanting to ask Zhao Lu why he left without saying anything.
Therefore, she left the Mystic Armor Mountain alone and went to the tavern to find Zhao Lu.
However, as soon as she went to the tavern, Zhao Lu and Li Li had left and went back to the Li Family compound.
Lu Feixue went to the Li Family compound to ask. She saw Zhao Lu as well but she was humiliated and ridiculed.
Zhao Lu even put his arms around Li Li and said that he was with Lu Feixue only because she was the daughter of the Lu Family Patriarch and he never loved her.
Now, Lu Feixue was old and withered. He told her to get out of here and not to embarrass herself …
Lu Feixue was mentally unstable after being tortured by Qiu Wenze for so many years.
The anger that had been suppressed for so many years exploded. She quarreled with Zhao Lu while Li Li instigated and insulted Lu Feixue for being shameless …
Lu Feixue lost her mind. She killed Zhao Lu and Li Li. She even killed Li Yuan's grandson who had been insulting her.
She didn't let go of the maids and servants who were involved in the mockery either. Her only thought was to kill all the people who had insulted her and then commit suicide.
"Alas …"
Lu Li sighed after he heard the story. He didn't say anything. He just hugged Lu Feixue and patted her back to comfort her.
What happened tonight was clear!
This was a conspiracy, and it was obvious that the mastermind was from the Lu Clan. The Outer Clan Elders and the Li Clan were involved, and even Li Yuan might have been involved.
Zhao Lu had been missing for so many years. How come he suddenly showed up at the City of Mystic Armor?
Why did he show up in the Mystic Armor City with Li Licheng?
Who was Zhao Lu?
He was a disgrace to the Lu Family!
The City of Mystic Armor was closed. Average people couldn't get in, not to mention a young master from a small family who once had an affair with a young lady of the Lu Family.
Unless Patriarch Feng was senile, he wouldn't let Zhao Lu in.
Unless Li Li was an idiot, why would she marry such a man?
Also, who was Li Li?
How dare she insult Lu Feixue?
Lu Feixue might have a bad reputation but she was Lu Zhengyang's daughter.
What about those maids and servants? How dare they mock a young lady of the Lu Family? Were they out of their minds?
Coupled with the fact that Elder Feng and the elders of the Lu Family had arrived late, it was clear that this was a conspiracy.
The target was not Lu Feixue, but Lu Li!
To be able to mobilize Elder Feng and Elder Li, to be able to suppress the group of Outer Hall elders from making any reckless moves, to be able to set up such a grand scheme, this person's identity was obvious.
It was either Lu Fenghuo or Lu Liantian or … Lu Zhengtan!
When Lu Zhengtan came back, he summoned Lu Li and made him stand outside for an entire afternoon.
Lu Li happened to be away?
The smile on Lu Li's face grew colder. Even if it wasn't Lu Zhengtan's plan, he must be in the know.
Lu Li had figured it out. But he was troubled. How should he solve the problem?
The opponent's move was ruthless, forcing him and Lu Feixue to kill someone in the city, forcing them into a dead end.
Not even Patriarch Eight and Patriarch Four could plead for mercy. After all, if Lu Li and Lu Feixue were not punished severely, the civilians would not be angry and the warriors of the External Clan would not be reassured.
What was more …
If Lu Zhengtan came back soon and convicted them, not even Great Patriarch could say anything.
After all, Lu Zhengtan was the Family Patriarch, the supreme king of the Lu Family.
