Yu Huashen was an ambitious man, an overlord.
There were no more powerful warriors in the Heaven Frigid City. If he couldn't control the entire city, then he would have wasted his position as the Family Patriarch of the Yu Family.
Lu Li knew very well that once he gave the order, the entire Heaven Frigid City would be flooded with blood. Thousands of people would be beheaded.
A general's success was built on the bones of tens of thousands!
This was the truth. How could one ascend to the top without dying?
Without blood and iron means, how could one awe others?
Influence people with kindness and righteousness?
Make them surrender willingly?
Bullsh * t!
There were too many warriors in the world and too many families. To become a powerful warrior, one must have endless resources. To have resources, one must have territory.
Whoever wanted to unify the Northern Desert would be the enemy of all the families of the Northern Desert.
Because you want to snatch other people's territories and resources, who would be moved by your benevolence?
Only iron means.
The only way was to put a sharp sword over the heads of all the families of the Northern Desert and force them to surrender!
When Lu Li decided to go back to the Northern Desert, he had made up his mind.
He was not a good man. There was no justice or evil in the world. Strength was the truth.
He had to save his parents and find his sister by himself. He needed to be powerful and he needed to have a powerful force.
He wanted to build a new Lu Family here and make Lu Zhengtan and all the disciples of the Lu Family regret it!
This was a difficult and dangerous path. One wrong move and he would fall into a deep abyss.
He was a stubborn man. Once he made up his mind, he would go all the way, even at the cost of his life.
…
Many families in the city surrendered soon. Du Heng and the State Councilor were killed. The Heaven Frigid Kingdom had a new master.
Anyone who dared to resist would be mercilessly purged. Also, Lu Li said he wanted to unify the Northern Desert. They were the first to surrender. In the future, they could be used as capital to seek benefits for their families.
There were eight Fourth-rank Families in the Heaven Frigid City and they were all affiliated to the Du Family. After they surrendered, Yu Huashen and Ming Yu had warriors they could use.
Yu Huashen was once an overlord so Ming Yu asked him to take care of the matter.
Yu Huashen ordered the city to be sealed. All the warriors of the eight families were mobilized and surrounded the Heaven Frigid City.
Yu Huashen knew clearly that he had to kill all the warriors of the Du Family. Otherwise, he could be ambushed and assassinated at any time.
The Heaven Frigid City had just changed hands. The Du Family had been here for many years. There must be some loyal warriors. Yu Huashen needed to find all of them and kill them one by one.
Also, there were some families that had a close relationship with the Du Family. Yu Huashen wanted to control the entire Heaven Frigid City.
Lu Li didn't care about what happened next. He brought Lu Feixue to a side chamber and asked Ming Yu to get the best imperial physician in the imperial palace and the best elixirs from the national treasury of the Du Family.
There were many treasures in this world, and it was not difficult to regrow a severed hand. There were also such spirit medicines in the Kingdom of Freezing Sky.
The imperial physician found some good pellets and fed them to Lu Feixue. Lu Li was relieved to make sure that Lu Feixue was recovering quickly.
However, he still didn't go out. He just sat in the side hall.
He trusted Yu Huashen. He didn't have the ability to manage himself. If he intervened, he would only disturb Yu Huashen. Therefore, he might as well let Yu Huashen handle everything.
Yu Huashen was a smart man. Now that he had surrendered to Lu Li wholeheartedly, he would do his best.
This was Lu Li's first battle since he came back to the Northern Desert. If he didn't do a good job, Lu Li would doubt his abilities.
One day and one night!
Yu Huashen had been busy for a day and a night. There were still shouts and cries in the city at midnight. Miserable cries could still be heard. The massacre was still going on …
It was not until dawn that the city quieted down. Lu Li still didn't show up. He was waiting for Yu Huashen to report.
"Whoosh ~"
At dawn, a shadow suddenly floated into the imperial palace. Ming Yu had been sitting next to Lu Li. He opened his eyes at once with killing intent in his eyes.
Lu Li didn't have psychic power so he didn't have to check. He opened his eyes, put on a smile and said softly, "It must be Ye Cha."
"Saint Lord, Ye Cha asks for an audience!"
As he expected, there came a shout of excitement. The smile on Lu Li's face grew bigger. The news of what happened at the Heaven Frigid City would spread across the entire Northern Desert in half a day. Ye Cha had left overnight. It was quite fast that he could get here now.
"Come in!"
Lu Li said. A man came in from the outside.
It was an old man with excitement. Who else could it be other than Ye Cha, the Clan Leader of the Cyan Phoenix Race?
"Greetings, Saint Lord!"
Ye Cha knelt down. Lu Li said with a smile, "Clan Leader Ye, don't be so formal. It's been a while. How have you been?"
"Good, good. Saint Lord is back. Everything is fine!" Ye Cha stood up. His wrinkled face was glowing.
Lu Li nodded and asked, "How are the other places at the Northern Desert?"
"Same as always!" Ye Cha's answer was short. Lu Li knew what was going on.
After a pause, he said, "I have been exiled from the Lu Family. I am going to unify the Northern Desert. What do you think, Clan Leader Ye?"
"As you wish, Saint Lord."
Ye Cha bowed and said, "The Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race are willing to follow you forever and assist you in your endeavors."
"Good!"
Lu Li stood up and said, "Don't worry. As long as I am alive, one day, I will bring you back to the Central Plains and take back your ancestral lands."
Ye Cha nodded without saying anything. Lu Li asked with surprise, "Clan Leader Ye, I remember you said that your enemies are six of the 10 most powerful families at the Central Plains?
I went to the Central Plains and it seems that the 10 most powerful families at the Central Plains are not the 10, but the 12 Royal Families. "
Ye Cha frowned and said, "Well … I don't know. Maybe, in the past thousands of years, there have been two more major families."
Lu Li was relieved. Then he asked, "Which families are your enemies?
Where is your ancestral land? "
Ye Cha looked outside and explained, "Our ancestral land is at the southwest of the Central Plains.
Our enemies are the Yaksha Race, the Palace of Immortals Inquiries, the Palace of Heaven's Roars, the Great Buddhist Temple, the Samsara Palace and the Pavilion of Blossoms. "
"Palace of Heaven's Roars!"
Lu Li and Ming Yu looked at each other. They once passed by the territory of the Palace of Heaven's Roars. They didn't know that the Palace of Heaven's Roars was involved in the operation to exterminate the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race.
They are all eighth-rank forces, one of the 12 Royal Families!
Lu Li's heart was weighed down. There were 12 most powerful families and races at the Central Plains. Now, he had to help the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race fight against six of them. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was an ant trying to shake the world.
Ye Cha comforted Lu Li seeing that he was not feeling well, "Saint Lord, don't be too stressed. We know it is difficult.
As long as you try your best, we will not blame you. "
"Okay, then we will unify the Northern Desert first and make this our territory!"
