"Lu …!"
Seeing that Lu Li was in a daze, Jiang Qiling whispered to him, "What are you doing here?
Kneel. You are disrespectful to Emperor of Heaven Reverse. That is a crime … "
Lu Li came back to his senses and knelt down with Jiang Qiling.
This was a chosen warrior of the human race. Nobody dared to question his achievements. Even Ye Cha and the others said that he was a peerless chosen warrior.
A man like him deserved to be worshiped and admired by tens of thousands.
However, Lu Li's blood was boiling and the silver dragon was moving around in his Soul Pond. He felt uncomfortable, as if it was telling him in a silent way — stay away from the statue.
While he was kowtowing, Lu Li moved back subconsciously. He had made up his mind that he would leave after three kowtows and never get close to the statue again.
"Buzzing ~"
After Lu Li and Jiang Qiling kowtowed three times, the book in the statue's hand suddenly lit up. It was like a pearl in the night sky, dazzling.
"What ~"
The entire square was in an uproar as countless powerful divine wills swept over. Following that, countless experts soared into the sky and flew over to the square.
"Eh?"
Jiang Qiling looked up. She saw the book in Emperor of Heaven Reverse's hand glowing and many powerful warriors flying over. Her face turned ghastly pale.
She could not figure it out. It was just a kowtow.
She had come here to worship once before. Why did the statue suddenly have such a big reaction this time?
Did they offend the Emperor of Heaven Reverse and were about to be punished?
"Go, Lu …!"
Jiang Qiling was panicking. She was about to get up and sneak away with Lu Li into the crowd when they heard a loud shout, "Don't move!"
With so many psychic powers locked onto them, they knew they could not run away. They stayed on their knees.
Lu Li was more frightened than Jiang Qiling. He knew very well that the glowing book must have something to do with him.
Otherwise, his blood wouldn't be boiling and the dragon patterns on his Soul Pond wouldn't be moving around.
He didn't understand why the book on the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse was glowing.
But when he saw so many experts coming out, including a large number of Earth Immortals, he knew that something big must have happened. If something went wrong, the two of them might be killed here.
Many powerful warriors of the Demon-slaying Hall had their souls reconstructed. The only thing on their minds was the greater good of the human race, not personal feelings.
Even if Lu Li's great grandpa were here, he would kill Lu Li mercilessly once he violated the rules of the Demon-slaying Hall.
"Buzz ~"
The scripture became brighter and brighter. A beam of light shot out from the scripture and shot into the heavens. It was already close to dusk, so it was especially eye-catching.
Suddenly!
The scripture floated up from the statue's hand.
The scripture slowly flipped in the air, and the pillar of light naturally changed its direction. It kept pressing down. This pillar of light clearly wanted to envelop the two of them.
Hundreds of warriors in black armor had already flown over from all directions. There were too many Renhuangs, and there were probably quite a number of Earth Immortals as well.
Everyone locked their eyes on the pillar of light to see who it would eventually land on.
The column of light moved down slowly. It was close to Lu Li now. Many gazes and psychic powers were locked onto Lu Li.
It made Lu Li feel as if he had become a naked woman surrounded by a group of hooligans …
"Don't touch me, don't touch me!"
Lu Li prayed to himself. He had a bad feeling. If he was enveloped by the column of light, he would suffer.
Those old guys at the Demon-slaying Hall would treat him like a lab rat. They would crack him bit by bit and all his secrets would be exposed …
Eventually, the column of light enveloped Lu Li.
Many people's eyes lit up. The silver dragon mark on Lu Li's Soul Pond was glowing in a golden light as if it was trying to resist the light from the scripture.
"Eh?"
What astonished Lu Li and the others was that the glow on the book suddenly dimmed down. Then … it moved again and shrouded Jiang Qiling in the end!
"Squeak, squeak ~"
Little White that was hiding in Lu Li's sleeve poked its head out. It threw a look at the column of light and then jumped onto Jiang Qiling's shoulder, lying down comfortably.
Jiang Qiling glanced at Little White. She knew that it was Lu Li's pet but she didn't mind.
She was nervous. She wanted to stand up to hide from the light.
"Ling-er, don't move!
This is divine light. It is good stuff. Don't move! "
A voice came to Jiang Qiling's ears. Jiang Qiling forced a smile. She was wearing a mask but her grandpa still saw through her.
Soon, the scripture glowed again. Something miraculous happened. Many golden characters flew out from the scripture and went into Jiang Qiling's body.
"Divine energy!"
Many people's eyes were filled with excitement. An old man said two words.
Then, his expression became extremely agitated, and his body even trembled a little.
Little White was lying on Jiang Qiling's shoulder. Inevitably, some golden characters went into Little White's body. Little White's face was filled with satisfaction and joy as if it had eaten the most delicious food in the world.
Jiang Qiling's body trembled. Every time the golden characters went into her body, she would tremble.
She closed her eyes. Her face glowed in holy light. At that moment, she was like a goddess from heaven. She was so holy that people would have the urge to kneel and worship her.
"How …"
Lu Li was right behind Jiang Qiling. He was holding his breath. He was confused.
The ray of light was covering him. Why did it move away all of a sudden?
Could it be that his silver dragon Bloodline resisted and the ray of light had to choose Jiang Qiling?
What were the golden characters?
Were they good or bad for Jiang Qiling and Little White?
Time moved on. It was so quiet at the plaza that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone held their breaths and waited in silence.
After the time for three incense sticks to burn, the glow from the scripture died down. No more golden characters came out from the scripture. In the end, everything quieted down and the scripture fell into the hands of the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse.
"Whoosh!"
Almost at the same time, five old men appeared next to Lu Li and Jiang Qiling.
One of them waved his hand. The space around Lu Li and Jiang Qiling trembled. Then Lu Li saw a white glare and the view changed. They were in a hall.
"Whoosh ~"
Little White flew into Lu Li's sleeve at once. Jiang Qiling opened her eyes. She and Lu Li were still on their knees.
They glanced over and saw five people standing in the hall. All of them were looking at Jiang Qiling with great passion.
"Grandpa ~"
Jiang Qiling stood up and scratched her face. The mask fell off, revealing her beautiful face.
Lu Li stood up as well. But he stood behind Jiang Qiling, keeping a low profile and looking on coldly.
Jiang Qiling's grandpa didn't seem to be old. He was a middle-aged man in the prime of his life.
He looked similar to Jiang Wuwo. Pointing to an old man in the middle, he said excitedly, "Ling-er, what are you waiting for? Greet Patriarch of Law Enforcement and the four patriarchs."
"Patriarch of Law Enforcement?"
Lu Li was surprised. Then, he turned to the old man standing in the middle.
Lu Li did notice that Patriarch of Law Enforcement was similar to Lu Zhengtan and more like Lu Li's father. The only difference was that Patriarch of Law Enforcement was a bit older.
"Great-grandpa!"
Lu Li bit his lips but didn't say it.
He knew that Patriarch of Law Enforcement had cut ties with the Lu Family. Even if Lu Li were to kneel to death in front of him, Patriarch of Law Enforcement wouldn't look at him.
