The Heaven Frigid City had been very quiet recently because Du Heng was in closed-door training. Ever since he came back from the Heaven Prison City, Du Heng had been in closed-door training, preparing to break through to the Renhuang Plane.
The spirit materials were almost ready. Du Heng hadn't tried to break through before because he wasn't confident.
These spirit materials had cost the Du Family several years of savings. If the breakthrough failed, it would be destroyed.
At the Heaven Prison City, Du Zheng betrayed them and took Lu Li's side, which made Du Heng feel threatened.
He didn't know that Lu Li would leave the Northern Desert soon. He thought that Lu Li would unify the Northern Desert sooner or later so he was ready to risk his life.
If he could break through to the Human Sovereign Realm, he would be able to unify the Northern Desert and become an emperor.
Du Heng was in seclusion, and the Heaven Frigid City was under martial law. Anyone in the city who dared to make trouble and anger the Du Family would be killed immediately.
Du Heng had been in closed-door cultivation for a long time. At first, he was ready to reach the Human Sovereign Realm. But when he learned that Lu Li had left, he dared not to.
However, he did not come out of seclusion. He continued to cultivate, preparing to break through to the Renhuang Plane in one go. Therefore, the Heaven Frigid City had been under martial law recently.
"Hum ~"
Early in the morning, a huge Teleportation Formation in the square of the Heaven Frigid City lit up, which startled countless people. The commander guarding the Teleportation Formation immediately went to inform the elders of the Du Family.
This was because the Teleportation Formation was connected to the Middle State and the White Cloud City.
Someone from the Central Plains had come.
White Cloud City was the territory of the Palace of Peaceful Heavens. If he wanted to teleport from White Cloud City, he would have to pay one hundred million Xuan Crystals.
People from the Central Plains would not be teleported to the Northern Desert for no reason.
In the eyes of the Central Plains people, the Northern Desert was a countryside, a barren land.
Those who could be teleported to the Northern Desert were all big shots.
Of course, nobody thought of Lu Li because it was not a secret among the big families that Lu Li was the son of Lu Renhuang. Lu Li must have gone back to the Lu Family of the Central Plains. Why would he come back?
Several elders of the Du Family came out, and so did the first young master of the Du Family, Du Ziling. All of them respectfully stood outside the Transmission Formation, waiting for the important figures of the Central Plains.
It would take a long time to teleport from the Central Plains, at least two hours. No one was in a hurry, so they waited quietly.
The Teleportation Array kept flashing. After waiting for a full hour, the light from the Teleportation Array gradually weakened, and four figures appeared in the Teleportation Array.
"Eh?"
Du Ziling and the others took a few glances at them and found that they were strangers. Moreover, they couldn't sense their realms at all. Du Ziling hurriedly led his people and bowed, saying, "Greetings, my lords."
"Greetings, my lords!"
The soldiers in the city knelt down one after another. These four people had extraordinary bearings, and their cultivation levels could not be detected. Moreover, they came from the Central Plains, so they were definitely people from great clans.
The four of them walked out and stood outside the teleportation formation. A young man suddenly shouted, "Yu Huashen, destroy the teleportation formation."
Of course, the four were Lu Li and the others. They were all wearing Illusions Masks so Du Ziling and the others could not see through them.
Yu Huashen was surprised to hear the order. It was not easy to build the Teleportation Formation and it cost a lot. Destroying it would mean destroying billions of Xuan Crystals.
Lu Li threw him a cold glance. Yu Huashen made up his mind and poured out Xuan Energy. The Teleportation Formation behind him exploded and was destroyed.
Du Ziling and the others were dumbfounded. Who were these people?
Why did they destroy their Teleportation Formation the moment they arrived?
Although the Transmission Array was not built by the Du Family, but by a large family in the past, destroying the Transmission Array was a big taboo.
"Yu Huashen?"
Du Ziling remembered what Lu Li said. He stared at Lu Li and the more he looked at him, the more he looked like Lu Li. Apart from the fact that he was taller, his temperament and appearance were similar to Lu Li's.
Lu Li saw people staring at him. He smiled gently and took off the Illusions Mask. He said, "Du Ziling, how long has it been? Don't you recognize me?"
"Lu Li!"
Everyone's expressions changed as if they were facing a formidable enemy. The devil Lu Li had come back and destroyed the Teleportation Formation as soon as he arrived.
No one in the Du Family would believe that Lu Li was here as a guest.
Du Ziling crushed a jade talisman at once, a warning jade talisman. Du Heng would know something was wrong as soon as he crushed it.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
Many powerful warriors flew out from the imperial city, but most of them were at the Fate Wheel Realm and the Eternal Realm. The Du Family was only a Fifth-rank Royal Family with only two warriors at the Noble Lord Realm.
One was Du Heng and the other was the State Councilor of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom.
"What is going on?"
A thunderous roar came from within the palace, and two figures flew out.
The two men were so powerful that the civilians in the city were frightened. They were Du Heng and the State Councilor of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom who were in closed-door cultivation.
"Lu Li?"
Du Heng's expressions changed when he saw Lu Li.
He flew down with the State Councilor and stood in front of Du Ziling. He looked at Lu Li coldly and said, "Lu Li, what is the meaning of this?
Why did you destroy the Teleportation Formation? "
"Nothing!"
Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just leave one Teleportation Formation to the Central Plains. The other two must be destroyed."
"Hmm!" Du Heng was fuming with anger. He said coldly, "You want me to destroy them?
Do you really think you are the king of the Northern Desert? "
"You are right!"
Lu Li smiled lightly. He glanced over to the warriors and said coldly, "From today on, I, Lu Li, am the king of the Northern Desert. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy.
Du Heng, I will give you a chance. Surrender to me or die! "
That was right. As soon as Lu Li came back, he was ready to take action and he chose the Du Family to start with.
To unify the Northern Desert, words alone were not enough. Someone must die and blood must be shed. Now, Lu Li had given the Du Family a chance. It was up to Du Heng to decide.
The Du Family had two Noble Lord Realm warriors, one at the peak and one at the middle stage. Lu Li, on the other hand, had three.
He had the Blood Claw. As soon as Yu Huashen and Ming Yu arrived, they used psychic power to make sure that there were only two Noble Lord Realm warriors in the city. Naturally, Lu Li had nothing to fear.
"What ~"
The entire plaza was in an uproar. Many people of the Du Family came to the plaza and many affiliated families came to watch.
They wanted to see which big shot came from the Central Plains, but it was Lu Li, the devil. That was not the point. The point was that Lu Li said he wanted to unify the Northern Desert and declare war against the Du Family!
Du Heng was filled with killing intent. Du Ziling and the others stepped back at once.
The patriarchs of the Du Family were ready to release their Fate Wheels at any time.
Du Heng glanced over to Yu Huashen and Ming Yu and then to Lu Feixue. He thought to himself.
Yu Huashen was at the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm and so was Ming Yu at the initial stage. Lu Feixue had clearly just reached the Noble Lord Realm. Even though there was one more person on Lu Li's side, he was at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm. He could still fight!
It was easy to start the war. The problem was how to deal with the aftermath.
Lu Li and Du Zheng were close. Last time at the Heaven Prison City, how many Noble Lord Realm warriors did Lu Li have?
Would there be trouble if Du Zheng killed Lu Li?
If he didn't fight!
The Heaven Frigid Kingdom would be gone, and the Du Family would become an affiliated family of the Lu Family.
The resources of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom would belong to Lu Li. Soon, the Du Family would be wiped out.
"King of the Northern Desert?"
Du Heng suddenly remembered something. He sneered and said, "Lu Li, you are a disciple of the Lu Family of the Central Plains. The 12 Royal Families of the Central Plains have an agreement.
No family of the Central Plains can interfere with the internal affairs of other plains. Aren't you afraid that the 12 Royal Families will join hands to destroy you? "
"Ha, ha, ha!"
