Lu Li left with the three Beast Kings and the jackal. They swaggered back to the sea of clouds.
The Nether Sect quickly sent out a message that no one was to provoke or attack the Beast Monarch along the way.
The Dark Church started to seal off the news, especially that there was a person above the Beast Monarch. Anyone who dared to spread the news would be killed without question.
However, this matter had become so big, how could it not be spread out?
Although the news did not spread to the common people, it still spread to the big families. The twelve royal families were the first to receive the news. Fortunately, the twelve royal families did not let the news spread.
Therefore, the news that the people received was that three Beast Kings had chased a human into the Nether Society's territory. Then, the elites of the Nether Society moved out and chased the three Beast Kings out of the Central Plains.
Due to the speed at which the news was blocked, the three Beast Kings did not cause too many casualties. Things calmed down quickly.
However …
Big families would not be able to calm down this matter any time soon because … it was related to Lu Li. More importantly, Lu Li could control Beast Kings!
For millions of years, countless human ancestors had wanted to study the art of controlling Xuan Beasts.
At that time, the Human Clan was weak. Strong Xuan Beasts could be seen everywhere. In the entire Divine Great Land, there were countless Beast Kings. If they could control the Beast Kings, the Human Clan's strength would increase greatly.
Unfortunately, countless seniors had studied it for a long time, and in the end, they could only control fourth or fifth-grade Xuan Beasts, which was not very meaningful.
Many people regretted it for the rest of their lives. Fortunately, Emperor of Heaven Reverse was born.
Was there finally someone who could control a Beast King?
He could even control three Beast Kings with ease.
Many people witnessed how Lu Li controlled the three Beast Kings to kill Shi Jun. It could not be faked.
She didn't know how Lu Li did it or if he could control the Beast King for a long time. But at least he had done it.
Naturally, this caused a sensation. What was more, Lu Li's identity was sensitive …
The four forces were troubled. It was not that they were afraid of Lu Li controlling a group of Beast Kings to wreak havoc.
Lu Li had such miraculous skills. What if Xing Mu valued him and said that he would protect Lu Li for the rest of his life or let Lu Li join the Demon-slaying Hall?
Several days after the incident, the Demon-slaying Hall showed no reaction. Xing Mu learned about the incident from the Demon-slaying Hall but he just smiled and said nothing …
…
In a small seaside town, there was a very unique restaurant.
This restaurant was built near the cliff. From the top floor of the restaurant, one could overlook the distant sea. The scenery was very good.
At the moment, there were several Young Masters and Young Ladies in luxurious robes sitting in the tavern. If Lu Li were to pass by, he would be able to recognize all of them.
Lu Suan, Lu Ni, Ji Mengtian, Ji Mengyao, Yang Xuan, Die Feiyu, and Yang Yu were all here. None of them said anything. They were drinking in low spirits.
Yang Xuan, Lu Suan and Ji Mengyao looked awful. Die Feiyu was nervous. Only Lu Suan and Ji Mengtian remained calm.
Bang!
Lu Suan sat for a while and then slammed the table. He stood up in anger and said, "How can this bastard be so lucky?
Even three Human Sovereign Realm warriors couldn't kill him?
He could even control the Beast King?
I'm so angry. "
Ji Mengyao clenched her teeth and said, "He must have used some evil things or learned some sorcery. Otherwise, he would not have been able to control the Beast King.
Should we secretly send someone to investigate?
As long as we discover that he has an evil spirit and has learned evil arts, even that old turtle Xing Mu won't be able to protect him. "
"Sister, watch your words!"
Ji Mengtian's expressions turned cold. She glared at Ji Mengyao. Ji Mengyao touched her nose and sat down.
She was so angry that she was rude to Xing Mu in public. If the news got out, the Samsara Palace would be fine but Ji Mengyao would be in big trouble.
Lu Suan waved his hand and said, "Even if he does have an evil spirit, we won't be able to find it. Who are we going to send?
He has Human Sovereign Realm warriors and Beast Kings with him. Who can get close to him? "
Lu Suan said unhappily, "How about … we ask an Earth Immortal Realm warrior to do it?
Don't look for evidence. Just ask an Earth Immortal Realm warrior to kill that bastard. "
"Um …"
Lu Suan's words intrigued Ji Mengyao, Yang Xuan, and Yang Yu. Others might not know but they did — there were some old freaks living in seclusion at the Great Land. Many of them had offended the 12 Royal Families so they had to hide overseas. They were in need of Mystical Materials.
They didn't have the courage to send someone from their own families to kill Lu Li. It would be troublesome if their families were implicated.
Therefore, on several occasions, they had asked powerful warriors that had nothing to do with their families.
For example, they asked a Human Sovereign Realm warrior from the Serenity Plains to attack the Clouds Plains or asked Recluse Solar Dragon and the other two to ambush Lu Li in the underground palace.
What was more …
Their families wouldn't allow them to send Earth Immortal Realm warriors even if they wanted to.
Given their status, they couldn't send Earth Immortal Realm warriors.
If they could send an Earth Immortal Realm warrior from outside, Lu Li wouldn't survive no matter how capable he was.
It wouldn't help even if he could control 100 Beast Kings. Human Sovereign Realm warriors and Beast Kings couldn't stand the might of an Earth Immortal Realm warrior.
"Ha, ha!"
Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan looked at each other and forced a smile.
Lu Suan didn't say anything. Ji Mengtian stood up and said, "You are too naïve. Let's not talk about the cost of asking an Earth Immortal Realm warrior to do it.
Let's say we can offer Mystical Materials and treasures that can tempt an Earth Immortal Realm warrior. Do you think those at the Demon-slaying Hall are idiots?
The Demon-slaying Hall might not care if we send Human Sovereign Realm warriors. But once we ask an Earth Immortal Realm warrior to do it, we will die for sure. We won't be able to escape either. "
"But …"
Lu Suan and Yang Xuan looked at each other. Ji Mengtian and Yang Xuan were deep in thought while Lu Suan, Die Feiyu and Yang Yu were confused.
Seeing that Ji Mengtian wasn't going to explain, Lu Suan asked, "Brother, I thought the Demon-slaying Hall didn't care about Lu Li before.
Why would they interfere when we asked an Earth Immortal Realm warrior? "
"Because we have crossed the line!"
Lu Suan sighed and said, "There is a limit to everything. Why does Grand Master want to protect Lu Li for 10 years?
You don't have to think about the underlying reason — on the surface, Grand Master doesn't want to offend Deputy Master and the four forces. But as a matter of fact … he wants to put some pressure on Lu Li so that he can grow up quickly in 10 years. He is using another way to train Lu Li indirectly.
If he really wants to protect Lu Li, who can go against his will?
Have you forgotten that this happened 600 years ago? "
"600 years?"
Lu Suan and Die Feiyu looked at each other and trembled. Yang Xuan and Ji Mengyao seemed to have understood now. They sat down helplessly.
Lu Suan stood up with his hands clasped behind his back and said, "600 years ago, Grand Master killed Third Master and four patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall himself. Who dared to say anything back then?
Xing Mu is a decisive man. If he has made up his mind, he will not have any scruples!
So, on the surface, he seems to have compromised but he is just trying to sharpen Lu Li. "
"Sister Mengyao, do you think it is a flawless plan to attack the Clouds Plains with warriors of the Serenity Plains?
Do you think the Demon-slaying Hall doesn't know that we have asked three Human Sovereign Realm warriors to ambush Lu Li?
You have underestimated the Demon-slaying Hall! "
"Why don't our Family Patriarchs get involved when we are fighting against Lu Li?
They didn't even say anything.
That is a competition between juniors. It is understandable to send some Human Sovereign Realm warriors. But if we go to Earth Immortal Realm warriors …
Not only the Demon-slaying Hall, even our families will not allow it. Grand Master Xing will be infuriated. "
"Lu Li can control Beast Kings now. It is pointless to send more Human Sovereign Realm warriors. We cannot ask for Earth Immortal Realm warriors and our families will not allow us to do so."
Lu Suan sighed. He was frustrated. Looking at the sea, he shook his head and said, "We have lost this time and we must admit it.
Unless some of us can defeat all the warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm or reach the Earth Immortal Realm, we will have to wait for the 10 years to pass.
For the time being, we had better admit defeat. We have to swallow our anger even if we cannot. If we go and make trouble for Lu Li now, we will only … bring disgrace upon ourselves! "
