Chapter 798: Unworthy

Half a month!
The turmoil of the Central Plains lasted for half a month before peace came back. Even at this point, many still found it hard to believe that the Samsara Palace was brought to ruins.
Countless families were scared to death by the fact the Lu Li had wiped out the Samsara Palace under the nose of the newly appointed Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall. Did it indicate that Lu Li now was capable enough to achieve unification? If he were to lead his army on an expedition, wouldn’t he bring the entire Great Land to his control?
Once this thought took root in Lu Li’s mind, the Great Land would witness a bloodbath. Many more and numerous families would be doomed. The Great Land would be a land loaded with dead bodies.
Some scouts had found out that Lu Li was flying to the east from the southwest. The bead he controlled was so terrifyingly fast that powerful warriors from various families went to check. They personally confirmed that the bead was incredibly fast…
Lu Li did not make any stop. In half a month, he had made way across half of the Central Plains. When this information was sent out, the Central Plains was taken by shock again. Not even teleporting nonstop from one region to another could be this fast, apart from taking the super Teleportation Formations belonged to the royal families.
Lu Li’s goal was quite clear. He was going to the Lu Family.
Back in the days, prosecuted by the Lu Family. Later, rumors spread out that Lu Suan had collaborated with others to set up such traps and devise such plans. Since then, Lu Family disciples were worried by many people. Those people were convinced that Lu Li would wash the City of Mystic Armor with blood this time he went back.
Lu Zhengtan had teleported back to the City of Mystic Armor via the Palace of Immortals Inquires located in the middle Central Plains. After learning Lu Li was coming back, Lu Zhengtan was in jitters. Countless Lu Family disciples, especially the ones from the same branch as Lu Zhengtan and the ones that had been following Lu Zhengtan around during the past few years, were on tenterhooks. Lu Li was a cruel person. How many people would be killed this time?
Many families also sent people to the Demon-slaying Hall to ask about the four alien races. But the Demon-slaying Hall put up a gag order. No information was leaked, which was even more frightening for disciples of the Central Plains.
One month rushed by in a blur.
The Wicked Bead went across the sky and finally arrived at the Region of Mystic Armor. This was the Lu Family’s territory now. Scouts were waiting and as soon as the Wicked Bead entered the region, they had reported back to the City of Mystic Armor.
This was to the dismay of some and the delight of others. Some even wanted to run away now. Those were the ones that remembered Lu Li could wipe out the Samsara Palace. They believed that it would still be pointless even if they could run to the end of the world.
If they escaped, they would have no support from big families, which would make it impossible for them to progress in cultivation. They had to live like a fugitive and fled from their home. They would rather die in battle like a hero than living a life of that kind.
Lu Zhengtan didn’t try to run. Instead, he made arrangements for Lu Suan and others to go so that hope could be preserved for their branch. But Lu Suan did not leave. He understood how much Lu Li hated him. As the most important young master of the Lu Family, Lu Suan did not want a life like a strayed dog…
Several days later, the Wicked Bead finally reached the City of Mystic Armor. Lu Li checked the gigantic city with psychic power, filled with mixed feelings.
Years ago, he went back to the City of Mystic Armor with Ming Yu and Yu Huashen. Lu Li had thought he was going back to his family and to his friends and that he could serve his family. However, when he returned to the Lu Family, he was prosecuted, he was thrown into traps and he almost lost his life. In the end, he was exiled from the Lu Family.
The shield over the city was not activated. On the city walls stood many warriors. Lu Zhengtan didn’t come. Lu Li didn’t send people to look for him, either. Therefore, Lu Li did not have a clear idea of the situation in the city.
“Father, we are at the City of Mystic Armor!”
Lu Li said to Lu Zhenguang who was cultivating. The latter opened his eyes. He stood up and said, “Send me out now.”
“Whoosh~”
Lu Li did as he was asked. He made some eye contact with Lu Ling and send everyone related to the Lu Family out apart from Leng Wuxin, Madam Yan, Bai Qiuxue, Jiang Qiling, Bai Leng, Tu Ni and the rest. Lu Li himself flew the Wicked Bead around the city for a while.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
He also sent out his 13 soul slaves who were hovering above the city and monitoring with psychic power to see if the Deputy Master was hiding in the city and if anything unusual could be spotted in the city.
Together with Lu Ling and Lu Feixue, Lu Renhuang flew slowly to the city. The 13 flying Earth Immortal Realm warriors startled many people in the city. But nobody dared to go up to the sky to have a look. Everyone just looked up from the ground. Many people were in fear and trembling. Scare was written all over their faces.
More people were exclaiming over the fact that Lu Renhuang was so powerful and there were so many Earth Immortal Realm warriors. Life is full of ups and downs. Lu Renhuang and Lu Li had come back in glory. It was a blessing for the Lu Family but at the same time a curse. From today on, many people could come to the end of their lives.
Lu Zhengtan was still here. He was with his people on the mountain. Nobody had come out and flown to the sky, though. Along with Lu Tiandi, Lu Zhengtan sitting in the Hall of Patriarchs.
Ye Cha and the 13 Earth Immortal Realm warriors looked around in the city and made sure that Deputy Master was not hiding here. The Wicked Bead glowed. For the first time, Lu Li came out. He stood behind Lu Renhuang and side by side with Lu Ling, Lu Feixue and Great Grandfather Five.
The group flew toward the Mountain of Mystic Armor in a formidable array. Five of the 13 Earth Immortal Realm warriors followed Lu Li while the other eight spread out to take full control of the city. Two of them sealed off all the Teleportation Formations. Ye Cha supervised the general situation, very alerted.
When Lu Li arrived at the Mountain of Mystic Armor, finally, more than a dozen people came out from the mountain. At the very front was Patriarch Eight. By his side was Lu Hongyu and Lu Lin and others. They sighed and sobbed when they saw Lu Li and Lu Renhuang. All were filled with mixed feelings. From the depth of their hearts, Lu Lin and Lu Hongyu were delighted. For them, the return of Lu Renhuang and Lu Li bode well rather than ill.
“Greetings, future Family Patriarch!”
Patriarch Eight took the lead and bowed. Lu Renhuang said nothing. After some thoughts, Patriarch Eight bowed again and said, “We are all of the same family and we are all bonded by blood. Many powerful warriors of the Lu Family have perished over the years. The family is greatly undermined. I hope, that…”
Patriarch Eight could not finish his sentence. He was feeling guilty and shameful as well. Back in the days, Lu Zhengtan, Lu Fenghuo and many others had treated Lu Li in a despicable way. Lu Suan set up many traps to try to take away Lu Li’s life. This was a feud that was deadly.
On their way over, Lu Renhuang had learnt much of past events from Great Grandfather Five. Looking at Patriarch Eight with a straight face, Lu Renhuang said, “Uncle Eight, please step to the side. I have made my decision.”
Patriarch Eight actually treated Lu Li very nicely. He was a man of honor. They were here for justice but Patriarch Eight could be spared. Lu Renhuang had made that clear by addressing him as Uncle Eight.
Patriarch Eight sighed and stepped to the sides with the ones that came with him. Lu Renhuang flew down and landed at the open area outside the Hall of Patriarchs with Lu Li.
A group was gathered in the Hall of Patriarchs. Lu Zhengtan was seated in the center with Lu Tiandi to his left. Lu Fenghuo, Lu Liantan and all the other patriarchs and deacons took their seats accordingly. Lu Suan, Lu Ni and the other young disciples stood behind the patriarchs.
It was quiet in the Hall of Patriarchs. Everyone seemed to be in dismay as they looked at Lu Renhuang and Lu Li.
Lu Renhuang took a moment before he stepped in with the others. He glanced over everyone and finally made eye contact with Lu Zhengtan. “Uncle, you do not deserve to sit there. Get up now,” said Lu Renhuang in a cold voice.
