The City of Blossoms was already under control. Those from the Pavilion of Blossoms had fled. Lu Ling took over the city at once.
When the City of Blossoms was under control, Lu Li sent six armies to fight for the territories of the Pavilion of Blossoms. The Pavilion of Blossoms had three seventh-rank families and many sixth-rank families. But the Pavilion of Blossoms barely put up any resistance. Only the three armies engaged in some minor battles. The only one that almost got into trouble was the southern army.
The southern army was led by a patriarch of the Lu Family. Bai Xiashuang was in this army. To protect Bai Xiashuang, Lu Ling sent two Earth Immortal Realm warriors. Still, they were ambushed.
"Buzzing ~"
The Teleportation Formation in the City of Blossoms glowed as Lu Li came out. As soon as he came out, he went into the Wicked Bead. After all, safety first.
He used psychic power to make sure that Lu Ling was in the city and the army had taken over the city. Then, he came out.
"Greetings, young master!"
Several deacons of the Lu Family rushed over and dropped to one knee in front of Lu Li. Warriors in the plaza knelt down one by one, filled with passion.
"Rise!"
Lu Li said coldly. He flew away and arrived at a manor in the city. Lu Ling was there to greet him.
"Brother."
Lu Ling was ashamed. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Forcing a smile, Lu Li said gently, "Sister, it is not your fault. How is it?
Have you found out? "
Lu Ling answered, "It is the surviving forces of the Ji Family. The leader is an Earth Immortal Realm warrior from the Ji Family. There is another Earth Immortal Realm warrior, but I don't know where he came from.
For this … Lu Fengyun is to blame. He did not listen to my orders and did not play it safe.
He went in alone and insisted on taking over a vein. "
"Lu Fengyun?"
Lu Li frowned. Lu Fengyun seemed to be a patriarch with real power, from Great Grandfather Five's branch. He was at the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm. Lu Li remembered him.
"Well, I will go to the Kui City first."
It had just happened. Lu Ling did not know much. She might as well go to Bai Xiashuang's place instead of asking questions here.
Lu Ling nodded. She needed to stay here. Now that Lu Li was here, she didn't have to worry.
Lu Li flew into the Teleportation Formation and teleported toward the Kui City of the West.
The Kui City was a region city. Lu Li arrived in just four or five teleportations. There were over one hundred thousand warriors in the city and quite a number of Human Sovereign Realm warriors. Two of Lu Li's Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves were here.
"Shuang 'er!"
Lu Li used psychic power to check and found Bai Xiashuang. She was lying in a castle. She was pale. She must have been seriously injured.
"Xiu!"
Lu Li felt his heart ache. Disregarding the salutes of the warriors around him, he dashed into the castle directly.
"Master Li."
There was a group of Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Lu Family outside the castle. They were trembling in fear when they saw Lu Li flying over with a gloomy face.
Lu Li didn't look at them. He strode into Bai Xiashuang's room.
The two Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves were guarding outside. They dropped to their knees in guilt and said, "Young Master, we are sorry."
"Humph ~"
Lu Li snorted. He went into the room where there was a young lady from a branch of the Lu Family and two maids serving her.
The three of them were startled to see Lu Li coming in. They stood up.
"Get out!"
Lu Li knew this young lady from a branch of the Lu Family but he didn't know her name. He was not in the mood to talk to her. He waved her away.
The young lady nodded with respect and left with the two maids. Lu Li sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at Bai Xiashuang's pale and beautiful face, he felt sorry for her.
He used psychic power to check. He was sure that Bai Xiashuang only had some broken ribs and some internal injuries. She had taken top level healing pellets and was recovering. Lu Li was relieved.
"Darling, darling ~"
In her sleep, Bai Xiashuang was frightened. She murmured. Lu Li grabbed her hand and whispered, "Shuang-er, I am here. Don't be afraid."
Hearing his voice, Bai Xiashuang opened her eyes slowly. She burst into tears when she saw Lu Li's face. "Darling, you are finally here. I, I almost couldn't see you again."
"Yes, don't be afraid. I am here. Nobody can hurt you!"
Lu Li patted Bai Xiashuang's hand with a smile and said with determination, "Shuang-er, don't worry. No matter who hurt you, I will kill them all for you. I will avenge you."
"Okay!"
Bai Xiashuang put her arms around Lu Li's waist. She couldn't stop crying. Lu Li comforted her for a while. Bai Xiashuang fell asleep again because she was too weak.
When Bai Xiashuang fell asleep, Lu Li walked out in strides. He asked the young lady from a branch of the Lu Family and the maids to take care of her. He looked at the two Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves and said coldly, "Tell me. What happened?"
They were Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves from the Feng Family of the Earth Imperial Universe. The white-haired old man answered, "Young Master, when we went to attack a ley line, there was a maze. As soon as we got close to the ley line, the maze was activated.
Then, hundreds of powerful warriors rushed out, including two Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves. Hundreds of them targeted Madam Shuang. We tried our best to protect her but she was injured. "
The other Feng Family Earth Immortal Realm soul slave added, "This was a premeditated attack. Their target was Madam Shuang. They retreated as soon as they failed.
Since Madam Shuang was injured, we did not go after them recklessly. They all ran away … "
"You did the right thing!"
Lu Li nodded. Bai Xiashuang was the most important. The surviving warriors of the Ji Family could be killed slowly.
If something happened to Bai Xiashuang, killing everyone of the Ji Family would be pointless.
Lu Li thought about it and asked, "My sister said that you went deep into the enemy's territory alone and acted willfully.
What is going on? "
The Feng Family warrior was not happy. "The commander heard that there is endless wealth in the ley line. He also heard that someone was secretly moving spiritual stones here.
Madam Shuang is a simple-minded person and did not think too much about it.
Lady Ling only told us to protect Madam Shuang. We did not say much … "
Lu Li got the gist of it. He looked outside and shouted, "Lu Fengyun, come in!"
The commander and deputy commander of the army were outside. Hearing Lu Li's words, they swarmed in. A middle-aged Human Sovereign Realm warrior walked in. He dropped to his knees and said with sorrow, "Young Master Li, we have sinned. We have implicated Madam Shuang. Please punish us."
Lu Li sat in the seat of honor, expressionless. He stared at Lu Fengyun and did not let him get up. "Lu Fengyun, why did you disobey my sister's order?
You went deep into the enemy's territory alone and the enemy had set up a maze. Why didn't you send scouts? "
"I, I …"
Lu Fengyun was a dignified man. However, he was stammering. After a while, he said, "I am wrong. I was too impatient to get the ley line and fell into the enemy's trap. I deserve to die …"
"Whoosh ~"
