Grand Master's words spread across the Demon-slaying City. Soon, the city was in an uproar.
The Grand Master didn't give any explanation about this, which was not surprising. But then again, the Grand Master said that he would protect Lu Li for 10 years, which was against the rules.
The Demon-slaying Hall could not get involved in any disputes of the Great Land. That was the rule of the Demon-slaying Hall.
If Lu Li joined the Demon-slaying Hall, there would be nothing to say.
Judging by the current situation, the Demon-slaying Hall might not accept Lu Li or Lu Li was unwilling to join the Demon-slaying Hall.
Since Lu Li had returned to the Great Land, then it must be a conflict outside. Theoretically speaking, the Demon-slaying Hall should not get involved.
This time, Grand Master forcefully came out and humiliated Deputy Master and a group of people. Now, he was protecting Lu Li in public for 10 years. This was too strange. It was not surprising that it caused a sensation.
However, this First Palace Master's prestige was too high. He had already been in position for more than a thousand years.
He had always been the most powerful warrior at the Demon-slaying Hall. Who dared to disobey him?
Although the Second Palace Master had a group of people behind him, how could they contend against the Palace Master?
It was no different from a fool's dream.
Grand Master only wanted to protect Lu Li for 10 years, and he made it clear that he would leave Lu Li alone after that.
This made many people feel less conflicted. For many old fellows, ten years was just a single closed-door training session.
What could be done in ten years?
How could Lu Li reach the Earth Immortal Realm in 10 years?
So what if he became an Earth Immortal?
There were a lot of Earth Immortals in the four forces. Wouldn't they all die then?
There was another matter that concerned the people at the Demon-slaying City.
But why was the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse glowing?
Did Grand Master's appearance have anything to do with the change of Emperor of Heaven Reverse's statue?
If the First Hall Master did not mention this, no one would know.
Judging from the situation, the First Palace Master was not prepared to say anything. Even the Enforcement Elder could only guess a little. The Second Palace Master and the other Elders probably did not know anything at all.
In any case, Lu Li had become famous.
Soon, the news would spread across the Great Land. Lu Li's information would be in the hands of all the Family Patriarchs.
…
Jiang Qiling woke up the next day. As soon as she did, she rushed out and asked the maids. She was relieved when she learned that Lu Li was still alive.
She found Jiang Tianshun and asked where Lu Li was.
When she learned that Lu Li was sent out of the Demon-slaying Grounds, she wanted to go out at once.
However, Jiang Tianshun did not let her go. Instead, he wanted her to cultivate in the Demon-slaying City for 10 years.
"No!
I want to return to the Linglong Pavilion immediately. "
Jiang Qiling had made up her mind. She wished she could fly to the Northern Desert right now to see if Lu Li was alright.
Jiang Tianshun pulled a long face and said with determination, "You cannot go anywhere. You must cultivate in the Demon-slaying City for 10 years or else … Lu Li will die for sure."
"Ah?"
Jiang Qiling panicked. She was about to threaten him with death. She asked in a hurry, "Why?
What does it have to do with Lu Li whether I go out or not? "
"You are the future genius!"
Jiang Tianshun told a big lie and said, "Lu Li has offended too many people this time. Even the Grand Master can only protect him for 10 years.
If you, a future chosen warrior, were to get involved with Lu Li, what would Deputy Master and the others think?
Would he try his best to kill Lu Li?
By then, not even Grand Master can stand the pressure. How can Lu Li survive? "
Jiang Tianshun saw that she had been intimidated so he continued, "Grand Master has ordered that no force can deal with Lu Li for the next 10 years. Also, there is another order — no force can help Lu Li and he should be left to his own devices, especially the Pavilion of Delicacy.
If you go to the Northern Desert, you will be helping Lu Li indirectly.
Think about it … if Grand Master learns of this and Deputy Master puts more pressure on Lu Li, do you think Lu Li can survive? "
"Ji Mengtian and the other four have been exiled to the Blood Realm for three years. They might die there.
If you go to the Northern Desert to help Lu Li, the Samsara Palace, Hades Society, Pavilion of Blossoms and the Lu Family will have the right to take action. They can send an Earth Immortal Realm warrior to kill Lu Li.
Grand Master will not be able to do anything under pressure. "
"Therefore, if you go to Lu Li, you will not only not help him, but also get him killed!
If you want to help Lu Li, then stay at the Demon-slaying Hall and cultivate.
The more powerful you are, the higher your status will be at the Demon-slaying Hall. By then, when other forces want to deal with Lu Li, they will have to think about whether they will offend you first. "
"Also, Grand Master will only protect Lu Li for 10 years. How far can he reach in 10 years?
In 10 years, when the powerful warriors of the four forces come to the Northern Desert, can Lu Li stop them?
If you can reach a high enough realm in 10 years, you can make the three Grand Masters and the patriarchs value you.
By then, one word from you can save Lu Li. "
"I've told you the pros and cons. If you're still stubborn and want Lu Li dead, then go ahead and find him."
Jiang Tianshun said many things in one breath, some true and some false. He tried to coax and scare Jiang Qiling so much that she didn't dare to do anything.
Some of Jiang Tianshun's words were reasonable. It was not a good thing for Jiang Qiling to go to Lu Li at this moment. But she wouldn't get Lu Li killed.
That being said, it would be better for Lu Li if she stayed here to cultivate.
Other warriors could not stay at the Demon-slaying Hall and they would not be able to access resources.
Jiang Qiling was different. She was a future chosen warrior who was given divine energy by Emperor of Heaven Reverse. If she stayed here, she would be provided with resources even if she didn't join the Demon-slaying Hall.
"Grandpa, you are not lying to me, right?"
Jiang Qiling was not entirely convinced. After all, Jiang Tianshun had compromised with the four forces regarding Lu Li. Jiang Qiling didn't trust him.
Jiang Tianshun forced a smile and said, "Do you think I will harm you?
If you don't believe me, go and ask Patriarch of Law Enforcement. "
"Okay!"
Jiang Qiling really did go to Patriarch of Law Enforcement. She and Lu Li had just fallen in love and now they had to separate and meet again after 10 years. It was hard for her to accept this.
That being said …
She went to Patriarch of Law Enforcement and repeated Jiang Tianshun's words. Patriarch of Law Enforcement's answer was the same as Jiang Tianshun's.
Jiang Qiling could go to any patriarch and get the same answer, let alone Patriarch of Law Enforcement.
After 10 years, it was highly likely that Lu Li would be killed.
Jiang Qiling, on the other hand, was the future chosen warrior. If she died with Lu Li, it would be a great loss for the human race.
Patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall were old and cunning.
They didn't even need to inform Jiang Qiling about this. They could just say it to scare her.
After asking Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Jiang Qiling accepted her fate. She had to follow Jiang Tianshun's arrangement and cultivate at the Demon-slaying Hall for 10 years.
She wrote a letter in tears and asked Jiang Tianshun to send it to the Pavilion of Delicacy for Lu Li.
Jiang Tianshun wouldn't stop such a trifle. He called someone over and told him to take care of the matter.
Jiang Qiling watched as the messenger left. She stood outside the hall by herself, her tears falling to the ground like raindrops.
She stood there for the time for one incense stick to burn before she wiped her tears and murmured, "Lu Li, wait for me for 10 years.
In 10 years, I will reach the Earth Immortal Realm.
By then, if the four forces dare to kill you, I will kill my way out of the Demon-slaying Hall and uproot the four forces. "
"Eh?"
Jiang Tianshun heard Jiang Qiling murmuring in the hall. His expressions changed. At this moment, he wondered if it was a good idea to leave Jiang Qiling at the Demon-slaying City.
