"Soul Pond Realm, and five of them!"
Lu Li sensed the qi and energy of Xue Chou and the group of warriors around him. He was secretly shocked. This small Blood Evil Island was full of powerful warriors, even more powerful than the Liu Family at its peak.
However, Lu Li did not see any Bloodline mark on the neck of these dozens of people. It seemed that they were not Bloodline Warriors.
Xue Chou brought dozens of people to greet Lu Li. Lu Li followed the crowd and observed quietly.
His attention was quickly attracted by a young man who kept staring at Liu Yi.
This man was standing not far from Xue Chou in the first row. He was wearing a gorgeous armor and looked a bit like Xue Chou. He should be his son.
The man's gaze swept across them and locked onto Liu Yi.
Although Liu Yi's hair was a little messy and her clothes were dirty, she was still the first daughter of the Liu Family. She had a good temperament and a good appearance.
Because of the upheaval in the Liu Family, she had grown up recently, giving her a lovely charm.
Liu Yi noticed a pair of fiery eyes staring at her. She glanced at them and moved closer to Lu Li in fear.
She felt that the young man's gaze was not only scorching, but it also contained a trace of … lust.
She had seen many men looking at her. Nobody dared to do anything to her in the Wu Ling County. Now that she was stranded at the Thousand-island Lake, she felt insecure. Out of instinct, she wanted to get closer to Lu Li.
When they broke into the Thousand-island Lake, Lu Li killed the bald old man at the latter stage of the Spirit Sea Realm with one move.
To Liu Yi, Lu Li was already one of the most powerful warriors of the Liu Family. She felt safer being close to him.
Lu Li suddenly felt the pressure as Liu Yi leaned against him.
The young man looked at Lu Li with eyes as sharp as knives. However, Lu Li could feel the killing intent clearly.
"It seems that the Blood Demon Island is not a good place to stay."
Lu Li sighed to himself. He had put his guard up against this young man.
Seeing Xue Chou greet Patriarch Seven with enthusiasm, he felt slightly relieved. It seemed that at least Xue Chou still remembered Patriarch Seven's life-saving grace. There shouldn't be any problems in the short term, right?
Xue Chou held Patriarch Seven's hand affectionately and walked inside. Warriors of the Blood Evil Island invited them to enter the island together. There was also a patriarch of the Blood Evil Island explaining the situation of the Blood Evil Island to them.
Lu Li listened for a while and had a general understanding of the Blood Evil Island.
The Blood Evil Island was a Third-rank Island of the Thousand-island Lake. The Blood Evil Brotherhood was a Third-rank force.
The Blood Evil Island was neither too big nor too small, with a radius of about 250 miles. There were more than a dozen small islands nearby. The Blood Evil Island could be considered a force with some fame at the northeast of the Thousand-island Lake.
The entire Blood Evil Island, including the small islands nearby, had a population of 300,000. There were 5000 warriors at the Xuan Wu Realm, more than 100 at the Spirit Sea Realm, and five at the Soul Pond Realm.
In the sea area with a radius of thousands of miles, the Blood Evil Island was not afraid of any force apart from the God-down Island.
The God-down Island was occupied by the Fourth-rank Family, the Xu Family. The Blood Evil Island had to hand over a certain amount of Xuan Crystals every year. The Blood Evil Island could be counted as an affiliated force of the God-down Island.
"What is the relationship between God-down Island and Sunset Island?"
Patriarch Nine asked with curiosity. The patriarch of the Blood Evil Island explained, "Meng Sanduo, the Island Owner of the Sundown Island, is the brother-in-law of Xu Chen, the Island Owner of the God-down Island.
The Setting Sun Island is also a third-class force. They have been relying on their relationship with Xu Chen to act like a tyrant … "
Everyone understood. The Thousand-island Lake was not much different from the outside world. Small forces were affiliated to the big forces and the big forces were affiliated to the super forces.
The biggest force at the northeast of the Thousand-island Lake was the God-down Island. Below them were forces like the Blood Evil Island. Below them were smaller islands.
While chatting, they walked into the island. The island was lush with trees. On both sides of the road were towering trees. The view was very beautiful.
They walked along the main road for more than a mile and the road widened up. There was a huge valley in front of them. Countless castles stood there. They could not see the end of the valley. The valley was even more prosperous than the Wu Ling County.
There were many people on the island. They just looked at them from afar and dared not to get closer. When they saw Xue Chou, their eyes were filled with fear and respect. It seemed that this Island Owner had a high prestige on the island.
The group entered a majestic and luxurious stone castle. Outside the stone castle were escorts. Inside the stone castle were maids. It could be seen that Xue Chou was living a comfortable life.
Some maids showed them to the guest rooms to freshen up and change their clothes. Xue Chou prepared a grand banquet to welcome them. It was a very generous gesture.
After freshening up, Lu Li took off his armor and put on a new warrior robe. He felt very comfortable.
He was shown to a hall. Patriarch Seven and the others were all sitting in the hall after freshening up.
Only warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm were qualified to enter this hall. Those warriors of the Xuan Wu Realm of the Liu Family were arranged to go to other halls. There were warriors of the Blood Evil Island to entertain them.
Xue Chou was very polite. He kept toasting. The golden table was filled with delicious food. The Patriarchs of the Blood Evil Island were also very enthusiastic, showing enough respect to Patriarch Seven.
Lu Li and Liu Yi were young, but they had both reached the Spirit Sea Realm. They were the center of attention.
Every now and then, someone would come over to propose a toast. Lu Li was a man of few words, so he didn't drink too much.
Liu Yi freshened up and changed into a light yellow dress. She was the Young Lady of the Liu Family, so she attracted a lot of attention. At this moment, her face was flushed and her eyes were blurred.
"Lady Yi, come on. Bugui, here's another toast to you!"
That young man was indeed Xue Chou's son, the only son. His name was Xue Bugui. This was the fifth time he had proposed a toast. Liu Yi found it hard to say no, so she had to drink again.
Xue Bugui was 24 years old. He was tall and sturdy with a dignified look. He was already at the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.
His identity as the Young Island Owner gave him an extraordinary bearing. The only pity was that there was some lust in his eyes. Even though he hid it well, Lu Li had always been on guard against him. He could often see that there was something wrong with the way he looked at Liu Yi.
After three rounds of toasts, Xue Chou and Patriarch Seven talked for a long time and learned about what happened to the Liu Family.
Xue Chou's expression became solemn. He seriously said, "Brother Shanhe, brothers, Lady Yi, and this young man, I have something to say."
The hall quieted down. Everyone looked at Xue Chou.
Xue Chou glanced over everyone and said. He cupped his fists to Patriarch Seven and said, "11 years ago, I was in trouble. Brother Meng Shanhe saved me, so I was able to preserve my broken body.
Today, Brother Shanhe's family is in trouble. Thank you for thinking highly of me and coming to the Blood Evil Island.
But … there are some things that I think must be made clear, in case brothers misunderstand and bear grudges. "
Patriarch Seven nodded and said, "Brother Xue, please speak your mind."
Xue Chou nodded and said, "If you are here for sightseeing, I will entertain you all the way and let you have a good time.
However, the Liu Family is in trouble now. I think there are some things that I need to make clear. "
Xue Chou stood up, cupped his fists and said, "If you are willing to join the Blood Evil Island, I will treat you like brothers. Brother Shanhe will be the Vice Island Owner of the Blood Evil Island. You will all be the Patriarchs of the Blood Evil Brotherhood."
Many Patriarchs of the Liu Family, including Liu Yi, changed their expressions upon hearing Xue Chou's words.
If they joined the Blood Evil Brotherhood, wouldn't they be annexed?
There would be no Liu Family in the future. The Liu Family, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, would perish in their hands.
Xue Chou continued without waiting for anyone to speak, "Of course, if you don't want to join, I will not force you.
There are more than a dozen small islands near the Blood Evil Island. You can pick any one. I will give it to the Liu Family directly. You don't need to pay any tribute. The Liu Family can develop on its own. "
"Of course, nominally … the Liu Family will be affiliated to the Blood Evil Island. After all, the Blood Evil Brotherhood does not belong to me alone. We have so many brothers, and we need to convince them.
Brother Shanhe, what do you think? "
Patriarch Seven stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Xue, you are magnanimous, open and aboveboard. Your friendship is unparalleled. Shanhe thanks you."
Everyone of the Liu Family looked relieved. This Xue Chou was a man of character. Everything was laid out on the table. There was no ulterior motive.
