"Why do you say that?"
Lu Li squinted. Then he shook his head and said, "How can it have anything to do with me? If it had something to do with me, the divine energy should be given to me, not you."
"Lu Li, you are lying."
Jiang Qiling stared at Lu Li and said, "You are not a good talker. Whenever you lie, your eyes will contract. I know you too well.
Also, don't forget that I am a woman. I am very perceptive. You cannot lie to me.
Lu Li … can you tell me the reason?
I will not tell anyone, not to anyone. "
Lu Li rolled his eyes. He was not good at lying. It was not that he didn't trust Jiang Qiling. It was that he didn't know what was going on himself. What else could he say?
He thought about it and said, "Maybe. Maybe it has something to do with me.
Jiang Qiling, don't ask. I don't know and … I don't want to tell you. "
"I knew it!"
Jiang Qiling's eyes glowed and said, "Last time when I went to worship the statue of the emperor, nothing happened.
When we did that, I felt your blood was boiling. At that time, I was sure that it was you who caused it.
The ray of light was aimed at you at first but in the end, it went to me. Lu Li, the divine energy should have been yours! "
Lu Li forced a smile and said, "Is there a difference between yours and mine?"
Jiang Qiling paused for a second. Then she smiled sweetly and said, "That's right. What's mine is yours.
Mine is yours. There is no difference. "
Lu Li pouted but didn't say anything. He changed the subject after some thoughts, "Jiang Qiling, where is the Demon-slaying Battleground?
Where is the small battlefield? "
"I don't know!"
Jiang Qiling shook her head and said, "But it is not in this small world. The Demon-slaying Battleground and the small battlefield are actually two large small worlds.
This small world has a passage connecting the two battlegrounds. We can teleport in. "
"There is one thing I don't understand!"
Lu Li asked with a frown, "Asmodians, Barbarian Race, Voodoo Race and Feather Race, why don't they cross the sea and attack the Great Land directly? Why do they have to fight to the death in the Demon-slaying Battleground?"
"It is far …"
Jiang Qiling explained, "We don't know how far the four lands are from us. It will take them eight to 10 years to send an army over.
Moreover, there are powerful sea beasts in the sea. I'm afraid that more than half of the people will die before they can arrive. "
"The Demon-slaying Grounds is a very large small world. This small world is amazing. There are many tunnels connecting the five lands.
Therefore, whoever could seize this large Small World would have the initiative to attack.
For so many years, we have been sending warriors to the Demon-slaying Battleground to guard the passageway to the Great Land and to prevent alien races from invading the Great Land through the Demon-slaying Battleground. "
"The small battlefield should be in the same situation. It can connect the five continents.
That small world shouldn't be too big, and it's been set up by a human elite cultivator with a heaven-shaking magic. No human cultivator under the age of thirty or the four races can go in. "
Lu Li could understand this. It was the same when he went to the Tomb of Dragon King.
However, the Tomb of Dragon King was a tomb after all. It was not big inside.
To be able to set up a barrier in a small world and maintain it for so many years, that human prodigy's abilities were probably heaven-defying.
They chatted for a while and Jiang Qiling went back to her room. She had not completely consumed the Divine Energy yet.
It had been eight or nine days. She must make every second count. The small battlefield was about to be opened.
Lu Li didn't think too much about it. He was about to go in anyway. He would know everything when he got in.
…
The Demon-slaying City was getting more and more lively. In merely eight or nine days, there were at least thousands more people in the city. They were all young masters of different families and warriors that came with them.
Only the Big Families were allowed to enter the Demon-slaying Grounds. But there were policies and countermeasures.
Many disciples of fourth and fifth rank Families would pretend to be from the Big Families and follow them to the Demon-slaying Grounds to gain experience.
The Big Families didn't mind such trifles. After all, the Big Families were dependent on them. It was good for the Big Families that their warriors could be strengthened.
As a matter of fact!
The disciples of the small families that sneaked in spent more time currying favor with the young masters and young ladies of the Big Families.
How could they have the chance to go through thick and thin with the young masters and young ladies of the Big Families?
When the young masters and young ladies of the Big Families had a group of people with them, they would feel honored. They would acquiesce to such people.
That was why so many people had come to the Demon-slaying City recently. As a matter of fact … there weren't that many disciples from the Big Families.
Apart from Jiang Qiling, only the six forces of the 12 Royal Families had come.
Samsara Palace, Lu Family, Tumulus of Universe, Palace of Heaven's Roars, Hades Society and Pavilion of Blossoms.
Up until now, only these six great forces had sent out their most talented disciples.
But there were many from the Seventh Rank Families and forces, too many to count.
From the Pavilion of Delicacy, Du Family, Palace of Peaceful Heavens, Qin Family, several forces in the City of Delicacy and the Jiang Family had sent their best young masters and young ladies.
Needless to say, they were here to protect Jiang Qiling.
Once the situation was critical, these people would cover Jiang Qiling's retreat and die for her.
The future chosen warrior could not be allowed to die in the small battlefield.
Before they came, the Family Patriarchs of the Big Families had given an order in person. If Jiang Qiling died, none of them could come back.
Jiang Qiling was the hope of the Pavilion of Delicacy and the other families.
Neither the Pavilion of Delicacy nor the other families would allow any harm to come to Jiang Qiling.
Another five or six days passed. Finally, Jiang Qiling had consumed all the Divine Energy and integrated it with Xuan Energy.
She had come out from cultivation. The entrance to the small world was about to be opened.
Jiang Qiling woke Lu Li up and they walked out of the castle.
Jiang Tianshun had been waiting for them. As soon as they came out from cultivation, Jiang Tianshun took them to a hall.
There were 11 people standing in the hall. They were not young, at least 26 or 27. Some of them might be in their thirties.
Eight of them were men and three were young ladies. They were all wearing armors, looking valiant and heroic.
Lu Li glanced over and was shocked. All of the 11 were at the Noble Lord Realm. One of them had reached the later stage of the Noble Lord Realm.
"Greetings, Lady Qi!"
The 11 of them bowed to Jiang Qiling. As for Lu Li, they chose to ignore him.
"Ling-er!"
Jiang Tianshun pointed to the 11 and said, "These are the best disciples of the Pavilion of Delicacy and the forces they belong to. You should know some of them.
Their objective this time is to protect you. If you die, they can only accompany you in death. Hence … in this small battlefield, you must not act recklessly. "
"Jiang Hu!"
Jiang Tianshun shouted in a deep voice. A slightly older looking young man walked out and bowed, "Old Master, I'm Jiang Hu!"
Jiang Tianshun nodded and said, "You will lead the 11. If … Ling-er tries anything funny, you can knock her out and bring her back to the base camp.
After half a year, bring her back at once. "
"Yes!"
Jiang Hu cupped his fists and accepted the order. Lu Li curled his lips. He knew Jiang Tianshun had something planned.
But he didn't mind it. He didn't want anything to happen to Jiang Qiling.
His eyes were filled with excitement. The small battlefield was about to open. All the talents of this generation of the four alien races would come together.
