Lu Li and Jiang Qiling were in the right when they were at the small battlefield.
After all, they weren't looking for trouble. It was Lu Suan and Ji Mengtian who tried to kill them first.
If it were not for the fact that Jiang Qiling had given Lu Li divine energy and soul energy to him, both of them would have been dead.
Lu Li didn't go too far even later on.
Lu Suan and the others built the Demon Trapping Formation to kill Lu Li again. Lu Li didn't kill Ji Mengtian and the others either.
Compared to what Ji Mengtian and the others had done, the death of more than a dozen warriors was nothing.
Lu Li was not to blame for what happened to Ji Nu and Yang Qi.
It was Ji Nu and Yang Qi who tried to kill Jiang Qiling first and they killed more than 40 people. Lu Li killed more than 200 in retaliation. That was not too much.
He was almost killed twice. Lu Li trapped Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan in the Ding of Barbarian God and tortured them for more than a month. Strictly speaking, it was not wrong.
What was wrong was that the status of the two sides was not equal. If Lu Li was the future master of the Samsara Palace and Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan were small fries …
Lu Li could kill them dozens of times, let alone torture them …
Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan and Lu Suan were the most famous young masters and young ladies of the four forces. Their lives were precious and they represented the four forces.
There was no reason in this world!
The four forces stood at the peak of the Great Land. Their fists were strong and their words were the law.
A small fry had slapped the four forces in the face. How could he ask for justice?
Do you still want to live peacefully?
He was either crazy or indulging in wild fantasies.
Lu Li had figured it out. After he realized that the four forces were backed by Deputy Master, he felt nothing he could say or do would be of any help.
He was like an ant, and the four forces were like a towering tree. This tree had branches, leaves, and countless intertwined roots buried in the ground.
Deputy Master's words silenced everyone. His words exposed Deputy Master and made his stance clear. Who would go against Deputy Master because of Lu Li?
Grand Master was the most powerful warrior of the human race. Naturally, Deputy Master was the second most powerful warrior.
Also, Deputy Master had more than one person behind him. He represented a powerful force.
It was safe to say that if Deputy Master was determined to wipe out a force, even the Pavilion of Delicacy could be turned into ashes.
Therefore, Jiang Tianshun gave in and Ye Luo was brought back to the Tumulus of Universe by force.
"Deputy Master is from the Samsara Palace or the Hades Society?"
Lu Li thought of a possibility. After a moment of silence, he put on a bitter smile and stopped struggling. Shrugging, he said, "If it is not Patriarch of Law Enforcement, I don't think it is necessary to search others' souls. What is the point?
Deputy Master, just for me. I, Lu Li, I will accept it! "
Lu Li's words were profound. Many powerful warriors in the hall could tell what he was trying to say, but nobody said anything.
At this moment, anyone who dared to step forward would be going against the Second Palace Master.
Ji Mengtian sneered. Lu Li was right. Deputy Master's surname was Ji and he was her forefather.
After the Second Palace Master stepped forward, the outcome of this matter had already been decided.
The Second Palace Master regained his composure. He did not speak immediately. Instead, he scanned the crowd and his gaze finally landed on the Deacon Elder.
Deputy Master calmed down. He didn't say anything at once. Instead, he glanced over to Patriarch of Law Enforcement.
But Lu Li was the great-grandson of Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Patriarch of Law Enforcement had to be careful.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement didn't look at Deputy Master. Instead, he looked at Lu Li and then to the brown-eyebrowed old man not far away.
The brown-eyebrowed old man's surname was Pang. He ranked No. 6 among the 10 patriarchs and was an influential figure in the Demon-slaying Hall.
Sensing Patriarch of Law Enforcement's look, Pang pulled a long face.
Then, he made up his mind, stood up, looked at Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, you have done wrong. Apologize to Deputy Master and Ji Wa and the kids of the Yang Family.
You have made contributions at the small battlefield. Your contributions offset your mistakes. If you behave nicely, maybe Deputy Master will be magnanimous and give you a lighter sentence. "
Even though it was the brown-haired old man who said it, people with discerning eyes could tell what he meant.
Many people knew that this Patriarch Pang had always been following the lead of Law Enforcement Patriarch. Law Enforcement Patriarch had indirectly expressed his attitude — for Lu Li to lower his head, admit his mistake, apologize and strive for leniency. Deputy Master would at least show some respect for Lu Li. At least, Lu Li would not be sentenced to death.
"Apologize?
Ha, ha, ha! "
Lu Li threw his head back and laughed. He looked ferocious. His eyes glowed in a silver light, which was terrifying.
Even though he was laughing, his eyes were as cold as ice. He glanced over to the others and said to Patriarch Pang, "Why?
Why should I be the one apologizing?
Why should I lower my head? "
Lowering his head and admitting his guilt could save him from death. But he would be exiled to a dangerous place just like he was at the Lu Family.
That way, he could live and there would be hope. That being said, he would have to let go of his dignity and lower his head to Ji Mengtian, Lu Suan and Deputy Master!
"Lower my head?"
Lu Li murmured. The disdain on his face grew. Pointing to Lu Suan, he said, "This is my cousin but he has plotted against me many times. He set me up twice at the small battlefield. You want me to lower my head to him?"
Pointing to Ji Mengtian, Lu Li continued, "The most beautiful young lady of the Samsara Palace is beautiful on the outside but cruel on the inside.
We treated her as a friend but she betrayed us without warning and led us into the ambush of the four alien races. You want me to lower my head to someone like her? "
"And Young Master Yang Xuan, Lady Die Feiyu!"
Lu Li turned to Yang Xuan and Die Feiyu and said coldly, "We didn't know each other before the small battlefield.
Just because Jiang Qiling might become the chosen warrior in the future, they dare to get involved and set up a trap to kill us?
They are so jealous and so vicious. You want me to lower my head to them? "
Yang Xuan was expressionless. Even though Die Feiyu was wearing a veil, she turned her head away in shame, afraid to look into Lu Li's eyes.
Lu Li turned to Deputy Master, pointed to his face and said, "This is Deputy Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, the second most powerful warrior of the human race. He is the ancestor to many people of the Central Plains.
If he were a real immortal, I would bow to him without your persuasion.
But … he can't tell right from wrong. He confounds black and white, refers to a deer as a horse and takes the side of the evildoer.
You want me to lower my head to him?
No way! "
"I, Lu Li, may be young, but I'm a man with an indomitable spirit.
I would rather die standing than live on my knees! "
His words were sonorous and resonant!
When Lu Li began to speak, many people felt things were about to go south. But Patriarch of Law Enforcement didn't say anything and Deputy Master didn't say anything. Nobody could interrupt him.
Lu Li had pushed himself into a dead end. Not even Patriarch of Law Enforcement could plead for mercy for him now.
But many people sighed with mixed feelings. They were not young anymore and they had been living at the Demon-slaying City for a long time. Their drive had been worn down by time.
But Lu Li's last few words ignited the passion that had been buried in their hearts for a long time.
Some elders were even ashamed. They felt that they were not as proud as a teenager and that they were not as free and dignified as Lu Li …
