When Lu Li voiced out his doubts, she paused for a moment and then explained in a low voice, "Actually, there is a secret that Jiang Wuwo told me. Don't tell anyone else."
Lu Li nodded. Jiang Qiling continued, "I told you before that there is a rule of the Demon-slaying Hall. Once you step into the Demon-slaying Hall, you will be a member of the Demon-slaying Hall until the day you die. You are not allowed to interfere in the disputes of the Great Land.
This is the first rule of the Demon-slaying Hall. The one to enforce this rule is Law Enforcement Patriarch, your great grandpa. "
Jiang Qiling did tell Lu Li about the rules of the Demon-slaying Hall. But he didn't know that his great grandpa was so powerful.
Law Enforcement Patriarch must be one of the top three patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall.
"Think about it!"
Jiang Qiling tilted her head and said, "Warriors of the Demon-slaying Hall are all powerful warriors of different families and forces. If Law Enforcement Patriarch is unfair and favors the Lu Family, what will happen to the Demon-slaying Hall?
What about the Grand Master and the Deputy Grand Masters?
What if the Grand Master agrees and favors his own family?
The Demon-slaying Hall will be in chaos!
Maybe there will be internal strife. The result will be the collapse of the Demon-slaying Hall. The four alien races will invade the Great Land and the human race will be wiped out … "
Lu Li nodded after some thoughts, "That is a possibility."
"Selfishness is human nature!"
Jiang Qiling continued, "Take your great grandpa for example. How can he not be worried when he learns that your great grandpa is poisoned and could die at any time?
He is so powerful that he can send someone to deliver the antidote.
Voodoo is nothing to the Demon-slaying Hall. "
Lu Li asked in surprise, "Then why doesn't my great grandpa do anything?"
"Because he is no longer your great grandpa!"
Jiang Qiling gave him a shocking answer, "The Grand Master, two Deputy Grand Masters and 10 patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall have all had their souls reconstructed.
There is no memory of the past in their souls. They have been reborn. In their hearts, there is only the Demon-slaying Hall and the human race. They no longer care about their families. "
"That … is so cruel!"
Lu Li finally understood. Then he exclaimed to himself. To erase all the memories of the past was not to seal them, but to erase them.
In other words — he was dead. He had become a walking dead, a war machine that lived only for the Demon-slaying Hall and for the human race.
"Yeah!"
Jiang Qiling exclaimed, "But they are all heroes of the human race, saints.
To protect the Great Land and to keep the Demon-slaying Hall in chaos, they were willing to die once. Without the Demon-slaying Hall, the human race would have collapsed long ago. "
Everyone could shout this slogan, and many warriors would die for the sake of the human race.
However, how much courage would it take to reconstruct one's soul and become a walking corpse with no past and no future?
His own children were right in front of him, but he didn't recognize them at all. Even when his own wife was standing by his side, she treated him like a stranger. What kind of pain was this?
Jiang Qiling pressed her lips together and said, "Actually, my grandpa is strong enough to be a patriarch. But … he didn't want to let us go. That's why he didn't reconstruct his soul.
If it was me, I would rather die than forget the past.
Lu Li, if it were you, would you do it? "
Lu Li shook his head and said, "I don't know. At least … not now!"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We're about to leave."
Jiang Qiling put on a serious face and said, "My mask is very advanced. As long as my grandpa is not with me, he will not be able to see through me.
So, Lu Li, don't call me by my name. How about we have a code name?
I will be Xian-er. What do you think? "
Lu Li was speechless. He pouted and said, "You don't sound like a fairy.
Hu Yao'er is more like it. "
"Hu Yao'er?
Good. That's a good name! "
Jiang Qiling wasn't annoyed. Instead, her foxy eyes turned into crescents. She tilted her head and said, "Lu Li, how about I call you a scholar?
I thought foxes were good at … scholars? "
Lu Li rolled his eyes and said, "That's not a good name. A useless scholar is a scholar.
How about Bloody Butcher?
That's impressive. "
"Alright ~"
Jiang Qiling twitched her pretty nose. There was another gust of wind, stirring up sand.
This time, Jiang Qiling asked Lu Li to fly forward directly. After they flew past the sandstorm, the view changed. It was a wild land.
In the distance, there was a huge mountain with a magnificent city at the peak.
"Um …"
Lu Li looked at the huge city from the distance, shocked.
Looking from here, the city seemed to be floating in midair. There was a mystical aura. It was more like a city of immortals, a place where immortals lived.
"That is the Demon-slaying City. Let's go!"
Jiang Qiling clapped her hands in excitement and said, "The city is huge. It will be hard for Du Wu and Jiang Yi to find us after we go in.
More importantly — nobody can use force in the city, not even my grandpa. We will be safe once we are in the city. "
Lu Li's eyes glowed. He flew toward the huge mountain on his Fate Wheel.
Before they got close, they felt some strong psychic power. That psychic power was not a secret probe. Rather, it was like a knife cutting through them. Both Lu Li and Jiang Qiling shuddered with fear.
Lu Li slowed down and soon arrived at a plaza outside the city at the peak of the mountain.
The plaza was filled with cultivators dressed in black Battle Armor. Their expressions were solemn, and they exuded an unconcealable killing Qi.
"They are all at the Noble Lord Realm!"
Lu Li was shocked. Jiang Qiling explained to him in a low voice, "Those that want to join the Demon-slaying Hall must be at least at the Noble Lord Realm. Lu Li, stay here and listen to me. Nobody can save you if something goes wrong."
Lu Li nodded and put away his Fate Wheel. He looked at the huge city gate and saw the three characters on it.
"Demon-slaying City!"
These three words seemed to have some sort of magical power that immediately attracted Lu Li's attention.
Lu Li's eyes turned red involuntarily. Killing intent surged out from him.
A hand covered Lu Li's eyes as Jiang Qiling said, "The characters were written by a human chosen warrior. There is a horrifying Profound Meaning in the characters.
It is the eighth rank Profound Meaning, Bloodthirst. Don't look at it anymore. Even Human Sovereign Realm warriors will lose themselves, let alone you. "
"Eighth-rank Profound Meaning, horrifying!"
Lu Li exclaimed to himself. Just now, he felt his blood was boiling and his mind was filled with killing intent. He wished he could kill all living beings.
How could the three characters be so horrifying? If he was enveloped by the Bloodthirst Profound Meaning, he would turn into a killing machine.
Jiang Qiling took the lead and walked toward the city gate. Lu Li followed her quietly, not daring to look around or make a sound.
They entered the city easily. The guards didn't check or stop them.
Inside the city gate was another huge plaza. Lu Li's attention was caught by a huge statue in the plaza.
It was an old man with white beard and eyebrows but black hair.
He was holding a book in his hands and his eyes were filled with wisdom. He didn't look like a warrior, but a scholar.
"Lu Li, go and kowtow. This is the statue of the human chosen warrior, Emperor of Heaven Reverse!"
Jiang Qiling said. Lu Li put on a solemn and respectful expression.
Emperor of Heaven Reverse. The Heaven Reverse Universe was named after his title.
He was the only immortal that could shatter the void and ascend to the heavens.
They walked to the statue. Before they could kneel, Lu Li suddenly stopped. His soul trembled.
Because …
The silver dragon in his Soul Pond began to move around automatically. His blood was boiling as well.
"What is going on?"
