In the yard, Lu Li slowly woke up. He closed his eyes and rested for an hour before he opened his eyes again.
He felt he had been sleeping for decades. His body was so weak that he could barely sit up.
As a matter of fact, he felt his body was recovering well. But from the depth of his soul, he felt powerless. He didn't even want to move a finger.
He was like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness. His head was heavy and he could hardly breathe.
"Darling!"
Bai Xiashuang had been staying by her husband's side. She threw herself at Lu Li in pleasant surprise and burst into tears.
Lu Li had just woken up. He almost lost his breath and passed out again when she threw herself at him …
Fortunately, Ding Gui was here. He helped Bai Xiashuang up at once.
She blushed and felt ashamed. But she kept her eyes on Lu Li, fearing that he would pass out again.
"Saint Lord, how do you feel?"
Ding Gui asked with concern. He did not use psychic power because Lu Li was in good physical condition. The fact that he could wake up meant that he was fine.
Lu Li opened his mouth and said in a feeble voice, "I am a bit weak. Let everyone out. I need to rest for a few days."
Ding Gui understood. He waved his hand and said, "Saint Lord has given the order. Leave. I will take care of him."
Lu Zhengyang was in the yard. He did not ask any questions when he heard Lu Li's words. He just nodded with a smile and said, "Off you go."
Bai Xiashuang wanted to stay but she was taken out by Lu Feixue.
Bai Xiashuang was an active person. With her here, Lu Li would not need to rest.
Everyone left. The gate was guarded by a patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall. Patriarch of Law Enforcement and the others were not allowed in.
Of course, Patriarch of Law Enforcement would not be so impulsive. Making sure that Lu Li had woken up, Patriarch of Law Enforcement felt relieved as if everything would be fine with Lu Li taking care of it.
"I am ashamed …"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was Lu Li's great-grandfather. How could he have such thoughts?
How could he rely on his great-grandson to take care of everything?
This made the Law Enforcement Elder feel very ashamed.
"I think it is time for me to cultivate."
Patriarch of Law Enforcement stood in the yard for a moment. A glint of determination rose in his eyes.
Previously, when Xing Mu was here, he and Deputy Master would take care of everything. Lu Li didn't have much time to cultivate. Now that Lu Li was a hands-off manager, Lu Li had even less time to cultivate.
At this moment, he felt useless. He had to rely on his great-grandson Lu Li for everything.
The Great Devil God had been killed, and the Ocean Land of the East had been leveled to the ground. The remaining three races were no longer a threat. Patriarch of Law Enforcement thought it was time for him to cultivate in seclusion.
However …
Who could manage the Demon-slaying Hall when he was in closed-door cultivation?
Lu Li never liked these chores. What was more, Lu Li needed a lot of time to cultivate. Patriarch of Law Enforcement didn't want Lu Li to waste time on trifles.
He didn't trust the other patriarchs. Either they were not capable enough. After much consideration, he turned to Lu Zhengyang.
He waved his hand and took Lu Zhengyang to a side hall. Patriarch of Law Enforcement looked at his son, but he didn't feel much affection for his son because his soul had been reconstructed for many years.
"Zhengyang!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement asked about the Lu Family first, "Is everything going well at the City of Mystic Armor?"
Lu Zhengyang bowed with respect. "Father, everything is going well. Recently, because of Li-er, our family is gaining fame. Many powerful warriors are coming to us. We have five patriarchs at the Earth Immortal Realm and we have three pieces of land. Our Mystical Materials and resources are growing fast. We can train more powerful warriors as well."
"Call me Patriarch of Law Enforcement!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement said coldly, "I have reconstructed my soul. I have nothing to do with the Lu Family anymore. I am Patriarch of Law Enforcement here. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Lu Zhengyang's expressions didn't change. That being said, Lu Zhengyang was delighted to hear that Patriarch of Law Enforcement had nothing to do with the Lu Family. Patriarch of Law Enforcement used to say that there was nothing to do with the Lu Family …
"If the Lu Family is stable!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement thought about it and said, "Then can you come to the Demon-slaying Hall and help?
You can let go of the Lu Clan and leave it to your fifth uncle. "
"Come to the Demon-slaying Hall and help?"
Lu Zhengyang was surprised. He had just woken up and the Lu Family was developing rapidly. How could he leave the Lu Family?
The next few years were critical. They could lay the foundation for the Lu Family's ten thousand years of dominance.
Lu Zhengyang was not reluctant to be the Family Patriarch of the Lu Family. He was just reluctant. He thought about it and said, "Patriarch of Law Enforcement, the Lu Family has many things to deal with. I would like … to stay for a few more years."
"What can happen to the Lu Family?"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement said coldly. He waved his hand in a domineering manner, "Your Uncle Five is strong. He can handle it. Who at the Great Land dares to offend the Lu Family?
You don't have to reconstruct your soul at the Demon-slaying Hall. You can take care of the Lu Family.
Also … if you take my position, who will have the courage to offend the Lu Family? "
Lu Zhengyang didn't like the first part of Patriarch of Law Enforcement's words. However, the last part made Lu Zhengyang open his eyes. He trembled and said, "Your … position?"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was second only to the Lord Patriarch of Law Enforcement. He was practically the actual commander-in-chief of the human race because Lu Li was not in charge.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was in charge of the entire Demon-slaying Hall, which meant he was in charge of the entire human race.
"Of course!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement said casually, "Are you going to be an average patriarch at the Demon-slaying Hall?
If so, why are you here?
You might as well manage the Lu Family. "
"But …"
Managing the Demon-slaying Hall was too tempting. He would rather rebuild his soul.
If he could take this position, the Great Land would be the Lu Family's territory. Who would dare to disobey him?
Lu Zhengyang thought about it and said with hesitation, "If I take your position, you …"
"I need to cultivate to reach the Semi-God Realm!" Patriarch of Law Enforcement explained.
"Oh, I see!"
Lu Zhengyang understood. Patriarch of Law Enforcement had been at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm for many years and never spent time on reaching the Semi-God Realm. He must have made up his mind to give up his position.
Lu Zhengyang thought for a while and said with uncertainty, "I am afraid … many patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall will not accept me taking your position.
After all, I am a junior and I am not the best. I haven't joined the Demon-slaying Hall yet … "
"What do you mean by that?"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement waved his hand. "Lu Li is the Grand Master. He killed the Asmodian Lord and wiped out the Asmodians. His prestige is high. Plus, I support you. Who will not accept you?
If they don't accept me, just kill them! "
"Kill them?"
This time, it was Lu Zhengyang's turn to be speechless. But on second thought, Patriarch of Law Enforcement did have a point.
Lu Li's prestige was high. Plus, he was Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Who would not accept him?
Even if someone was not convinced, he could just kill them.
"Okay, I will take this position!"
