When Lu Li was brought back to the Demon-slaying City, the entire city was in an uproar. A young man at the prime of his life had turned into a dying old man after a trip to the Eastern Land of Oceans in a matter of months …
After the news spread, the entire city was in an uproar.
Lu Li fought against the Asmodian Lord and the Dragon Demon on his own. He even resorted to something forbidden.
As a result, he consumed too much of his origin energy, which resulted in a backlash. His hair turned white and soon, he was on his last breath …
Many in the city shed tears in silence when they heard the news. Many knelt in front of the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse, praying for Lu Li.
But the news that the Asmodian Lord and the Dragon Demon were killed and the Eastern Land of Oceans was exciting.
The Asmodian Lord was like a mountain over the heads of the human race. Many people could not sleep well at night, fearing that the Asmodian Lord would come back with his army, break into the Demon-slaying City, and enslave all the humans.
The death of the Asmodian Lord meant that the threat to the human race was eliminated. The emperors of the other three alien races were killed.
Last time, when the four alien races came, Lu Li and his warriors killed many powerful warriors. The human race was greatly weakened.
In other words, even if Lu Li could not recover this time, the human race would not be afraid of the four alien races. At least, the human race could enjoy a thousand years of peace.
If Lu Li could recover, the human race would be able to suppress the four alien races completely. Even wiping out the four alien races would not be a dream.
That was why so many people knelt in front of the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse and prayed. Of course, many of them were sincerely praying that Lu Li could recover.
To them, Lu Li was their guardian and the savior of the human race. Without Lu Li, the Demon-slaying City would have been breached and all the humans in the city would have been wiped out.
The news inevitably spread to the Central Plains, then to the entire Divine Great Land.
Lu Zhengyang, Lu Ling, and Bai Xiashuang were informed at once. Lu Zhengyang went to the Demon-slaying Battleground that very night. Bai Xiashuang and Lu Ling teleported over at once and went to the Demon-slaying City as well.
The Central Plains was in an uproar!
Many of Lu Li's enemies were cheered up. If Lu Li died, they would have a chance to stand up and even make a comeback.
The old monk of the Great Buddhist Temple came out in person and entered the Demon-slaying City with Prajna. Ye Family Patriarch, Ye Luo and Jiang Wuwo followed them.
Lu Li was the backer of several forces. If he were to fall, the situation at the Central Plains would change.
By that time, the flames of war would rise again, and they might be forced to spit out the territories that they had swallowed. They might even lose their own territories.
On the other hand, the Palace of Heaven's Roars, Palace of Immortal's Inquiries and Red Lunar chose to remain silent. For them, the status quo could only be maintained if Lu Li came back to life. If Lu Li died, it would be a golden opportunity for them to change the situation at the Central Plains.
Originally, the 12 Royal Families of the Central Plains shared the world equally. After Lu Li ascended, the Lu Family became the most powerful force, the Pavilion of Delicacy, the Tumulus of Universe and the Great Buddhist Temple became the second tier, and the three other forces were relegated to the third tier.
Therefore, Lu Li's death was not a bad thing for them, but a good thing.
Civilians of the Great Land, on the other hand, didn't care about the conflicts between the forces. Many people worshiped the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse at home day and night, praying that Emperor of Heaven Reverse would bless Lu Li.
For the civilians, it didn't matter who was the overlord of the Central Plains. What mattered was that … it was Lu Li who had saved the people of the Great Land.
He was their patron, a hero, and a benefactor of the human race. Now that their benefactor was in trouble and could die, how could they not be worried?
…
In a manor at the Demon-slaying City, many powerful warriors gathered. The famous healers of the Great Land were all here. They were all gathered in a castle.
Many elixirs were collected. A table in the castle was filled with Interspatial Rings.
Powerful warriors were not equal to healers. Lu Li was not injured. He had consumed too much of his origin energy. His bodily functions were damaged. He was suffering from a backlash. He was getting older, weaker, and weaker …
"I think we should give Grand Master a large amount of elixirs at once and some soul-nurturing elixirs at the same time. We cannot wait any longer …"
"Idiot. Grand Master is so weak now. Do you want him to pass away sooner?
Those elixirs are so potent. Once Grand Master can't stand it, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
"I think we should take it slow. Use powerful warriors to pour Xuan Energy into Grand Master to stimulate his vitality. Then, use gentle elixirs to nurture him bit by bit …"
"Hall Master's body is deteriorating, and his aura is weakening. You want to slowly nurse him back to health?
I think we should give him strong medicine … "
"You are wrong …"
A group of healers was arguing inside. They didn't want to submit to each other. It was so noisy inside that the Elder of Law Enforcement's face turned green.
The problem was that Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not know who to listen to. In terms of healing, the Die Family was the best at the Great Land. The Die Family had a Bloodline Skill related to life that could regrow bones and revive the dead.
The Die Family was the best choice to treat Lu Li when he was losing his origin energy.
However, the Pavilion of Blossoms was destroyed by Lu Li …
Lu Zhengyang and the others were panicking. They did not know who to listen to. Lu Li was a weak soul. Who dared to do anything?
Who dared to feed him elixirs at random?
"Alas, alas!"
Lu Li was lying on the bed like a living dead. Lu Zhengyang's face was even older than his own. Bai Xiashuang was crying silently. Lu Zhengyang's heart was aching.
Many patriarchs in the castle were worried. They had thought that with so many healers and elixirs, they could cure Lu Li easily. Little did they expect that things would turn out this way.
"Master, can't you save Brother Lu?"
Prajna's eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed the old monk's sleeve. The old monk shook his head and said, "Master, you only know how to detoxify. You are not good at healing. I … am not sure that I can save Lu Li."
As a matter of fact, many others were like the old monk. They did not dare to do anything because they were not sure.
Lu Li was too weak. What if Lu Li died right away after the elixirs were administered? Lu Zhengyang and the others would tear him apart.
The only one whose expressions did not change was Lu Ling. She seemed to always be calm and at ease.
She stood next to Lu Li, looking at him quietly as if she could not hear the noise in the castle.
"Sister!"
Bai Xiashuang suddenly grabbed Lu Ling's hand and said, crying, "You are the most resourceful. Think of a way to save our husband."
"Don't worry!"
Lu Ling patted Bai Xiashuang's back and said, "Let's wait a bit longer."
"A bit longer?"
Some were surprised. What was Lu Ling waiting for?
Many were checking with psychic power. A moment later, Ming Yu came with several old warriors and went into the castle.
"All of you, get out!"
Lu Ling pulled a long face when she saw Ming Yu and the others. She waved her hand and said in a domineering manner.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Lu Zhengyang and Great Grandfather Five were surprised. Lu Zhengyang asked Lu Ling, "Ling-er?
Are you sure? "
"They are better than these people!"
Lu Ling bowed to the old warriors behind Ming Yu and said, "Ding Family Patriarch, patriarchs, thank you."
They were Ding Gui, the Family Patriarch of the Shennong Race and three patriarchs. Ding Gui did not say anything. He went to Lu Li and checked carefully. Then, he bowed and said, "Lady Ling, don't worry. I have brought fruits from the Prison of Wood. I am eighty percent sure that I can cure Saint Lord."
"Okay!"
