Central Plains, Mystic Armor City.
The Lu Family had settled down a long time ago. Lu Zhengyang enjoyed a high prestige in the Family, much higher than Lu Zhengtan. Lu Zhengyang was very powerful. He used to rank eighth on the Warlord List of the Central Plains.
What was more, Lu Li and Lu Renhuang had prestige. Who else in the Lu Family would not be convinced?
Almost all the families of the Central Plains that were hostile to the Lu Family had entered the Demon-slaying Grounds. The alliance between the Great Buddhist Temple, Tumulus of Universe, Pavilion of Delicacy and the other forces made the Lu Family as stable as a mountain.
Therefore, Lu Zhengyang's life had been peaceful recently. The only thing that worried him was the situation in the Demon-slaying Grounds.
Because all the entrances to the battlefield were sealed, the Divine Great Land could not receive any news.
In a castle on the Mystic Armor Mountain, Lu Zhengyang came out after several days of cultivation. He went to the Hall of Patriarchs and asked Great Grandfather Five, "Uncle Five, is the entrance to the Demon-slaying Battleground still closed?"
"No!" Great Grandfather Five shook his head and said, "The entrance has been closed. No news has come."
Lu Zhengyang frowned. The entrance had been closed for a long time. The last news they received was that the Heaven Blood City, the Earth Blood City, and the Monster Blood City had fallen.
To prevent the four alien races from invading the Great Land, the Demon-slaying Hall decided to seal all the entrances …
"Nothing will happen, right?"
Lu Zhengyang murmured. There was nothing they could do now that the entrance was sealed. All they could do was wait here quietly.
"Whoosh ~"
Half an hour later, a deacon of the Lu Clan rushed in and reported happily, "Patriarch, Grand Elder, the entrance is open. Someone from our Lu Clan has returned.
Young Master Ye Luo is back with his men. They will arrive at the Mystic Armor City in the time it takes for one incense stick to burn. "
"Alright!"
Lu Zhengyang smiled. If Ye Luo could come back, it meant that the war was not as difficult as it used to be. There might be a turning point.
"Go!"
Lu Zhengyang was in a hurry. He left the Hall of Patriarchs with Great Grandfather Five and a group of patriarchs and deacons to greet them at the gate.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
Many people in the City of Mystic Armor were alarmed. They followed Lu Zhengyang and flew toward the city gate. Lu Hongyu had been living in the City of Mystic Armor recently. Hearing that Ye Luo was back, she hurried to catch up.
"Swish —"
Very quickly, a group of people flew over from the north. Most of the soldiers from the Lu Clan who had gone to participate in the battle had returned. Only a few were missing. They might have died in battle.
"Ye Luo!"
When Lu Hongyu saw Ye Luo flying towards her from afar, she cried out in joy and tears rolled down her cheeks.
During this time, she could not sleep at all, worrying that Ye Luo would die at the Demon-slaying Grounds.
Ye Luo smiled when he saw Lu Hongyu. They sped up and arrived at the city gate. An elder of the Lu Family knelt down and said, "Greetings, Family King, Great Elder and Eighth Patriarch."
"Greetings, Grandpa Lu, Fifth Great Grandfather, Grandpa."
Ye Luo bowed. Lu Hongyu could not help but miss him. She flew into Ye Luo's arms.
"Get up, everyone."
Lu Zhengyang waved his hand and asked the patriarch of the Lu Family, "How is the Demon-slaying Battleground?
Where are Ren Huang and Li 'er? "
The Lu Clan's Elder said happily, "The crisis of the four clans has been resolved. Young Master Li and the Young Clan Head are now chasing after the allied forces of the four clans.
Elder Lei asked us to come back first to inform you so that you won't worry. "
"Good, good!"
Lu Zhengyang and Great Grandfather Five were relieved as long as Lu Renhuang and Lu Li were fine.
Ye Luo patted Lu Hongyu's back and bowed to Lu Zhengyang. "Congratulations, Grandpa Lu. From today on, the Lu Family will be the most powerful family of the Great Land!"
"What?"
Lu Zhengyang was taken aback. Great Grandfather Five's eyes glowed. The other patriarchs and deacons of the Lu Family were taken aback. The title of the most powerful family was not just for show.
The patriarch of the Lu Family could not help but smile. He explained, "Young Master Li has killed Ji Zhantian. He is now the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall."
"What?"
Everyone was stunned. They looked at each other, and their faces were filled with astonishment.
Lu Li could kill Ji Zhantian and become the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall?
Ye Luo added with admiration, "Not only did Lu Li kill Ji Zhantian, but he also defeated the Asmodian Lord.
He led the human race to defeat the allied forces of the four alien races. He is the well-deserved chosen warrior of the human race. "
"Good!"
Lu Zhengyang came back to his senses. A smile blossomed on his stoic face. He could not contain his joy.
The Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, the chosen warrior of the human race, the guardian of the human race. That was his grandson, his grandson.
Lu Li had become the most powerful warrior of the human race. Ji Zhantian had died. Who else could threaten Lu Li?
Who else could stop the rise of the Lu Family?
In a few decades, the Lu Family would become the second Samsara Palace. It would not be a dream for them to unify the world.
"Lu Li has become so powerful?"
Lu Hongyu could not come to her senses for a long time. She remembered the first time Lu Li came back to the Lu Family. He was a bumpkin, stubborn, protective, arrogant …
She remembered clearly how Lu Li made a scene at the Hall of Patriarchs and killed a patriarch in the City of Mystic Armor. Then, Lu Zhengtan exiled him to the Omen Island. In the end, Great Grandfather Five saved him and he went back to the Northern Desert alone.
Back then, Lu Hongyu thought that Lu Li would never amount to anything great in this life. She thought that he would spend the rest of his life in a small place like the Northern Desert.
It had only been a few years. Not only had Lu Li risen, he had become the most powerful warrior of the human race.
The Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, the glory of the Lu Family because of Lu Li …
The river flows east for thirty years and then west for thirty years.
"But …"
The patriarch of the Lu Family interrupted Lu Hongyu's thoughts. That patriarch continued with sorrow, "This time, no one from the allied forces died. Great Grandfather Three … unfortunately passed away.
Many of us died as well. Also, Patriarch Jiang Tianshun was poisoned by the Voodoo Poison and is frozen. Family Patriarch, please send a message to the Jiang Family. "
"Uncle Three!"
"Brother Three!"
The smiles froze on Lu Zhengyang and Great Grandfather Five's faces. Great Grandfather Three was Great Grandfather Five's brother, one of the few surviving forefathers of the Lu Family. It was a surprise that he had passed away.
"Where is Uncle Three's body?"
Lu Zhengyang asked, trying to hold back his grief. The patriarch of the Lu Family shook his head. "Great Grandfather Three was killed by the Asmodian Lord himself. His body … was torn apart. The Demon-slaying Hall has kept a low profile and sent him to the Palace of Martyrs for a proper burial."
"Yes. Uncle Three died for the sake of the human race. He died for the greater good. It was a worthy death.
Send out my order. Build a cenotaph for Uncle Three and the deceased so that future generations of the Lu Family can worship them. "
Lu Zhengyang waved his hand after a moment of silence. Then, he said to Patriarch Eight, "Go to the Jiang Family in person. Let the Jiang Family be prepared."
Patriarch Eight went to the Pavilion of Delicacy with the patriarch who sent the message. When the news reached the Jiang Family, the entire Pavilion of Delicacy was in an uproar.
For the Pavilion of Delicacy … it was a mixed blessing!
If Lu Li could not cure the Voodoo Poison, then Jiang Wuwo would die and the Jiang Family would lose a powerful support.
However, Lu Li had become the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, the chosen warrior of the human race. It meant that the Jiang Family had gained a new support, one that was more powerful than Jiang Tianshun.
