The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Ji Mengtian started a discussion, pointing those here a clear direction. Those young masters and young ladies used their imagination and proposed varied suggestions.

“How about we kidnap Jiang Qiling?”

“No, not Jiang Qiling. She is at the Earth Immortal Realm. Which one of us can kidnap her? If we are going to kidnap someone, I think it’s better we go after Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang, particularly Bai Xiashuang for she is weak.”

“But Bai Xiashuang is at the Deserted World. We cannot go unless we get to the Serene Cloud City. Lu Li has Earth Immortal Realm warriors guarding that place. We won’t be able to get in, not even if we had spies…”

“If so, we can think of a way to lure Bai Xiashuang out!”

“I think we can set up a honey-trap. Which young lady can volunteer to be the honey in the trap for Lu Li? Someone told me that Lu Li is a womanizer…”

“Hmm, unless it is Lady Mengtian herself, Lu Li will not look twice at anyone else.”

“Not necessarily. Everyone wants a little side dish. You get bored with the same main course every day.”

“I think it will be difficult to target Lu Li. How about we start with his friends? Maybe we can try to capture Ye Luo, Lu Hongyu, and Lu Lin!”

“…”

This group of people never stopped talking. Admittedly, those young masters and young ladies never could get anything done but they sure could throw out some sinister ways freely without any hesitation.

Growing up from major families, they had been exposed to too many darkness and filth. They were not good at honest attacks but they did excel in a conspiracy.

Carrot and stick, trick and swindle!

They had discussed for quite some time and had gone through everything they could think of. But Ji Mengtian and Yang Xuan were not satisfied. Many of their ideas were not only meaningless but also prone to alert Lu Li and anger him.

Ji Mengtian dismissed them after a while. But she forbid them from telling others about their discussion today or else all the families could face trouble. Those people were sensible. Lu Li was in the Demon-slaying City. of course, he would be angry to know that someone here was plotting against him.

Yang Xuan waited till everyone else was gone to ask, “Lady Mengtian, is it true, what you have just said? And… does Grand Master know about this?”

“Of course it is true!”

Ji Mengtian nodded. Giving Yang Xuan a mysterious look, she went on, “As for whether Grand Master knows about this, well.”

Yang Xuan, Xiao Conglong and Sha the Terror shuddered in their hearts. Deputy Master must have knowledge. But… he was pretending that he did not know and he was not involved. He had made Ji Mengtian his representative.

His intention could not be clearer. He would face zero responsibility even if something went south because it was the young people that were monkeying. If the plan worked, then the threat of Lu Li and the four alien races could be eliminated right away. If not, then he would let the young masters and young ladies take the blame…

In other words—they were all just Deputy Master’s instrument. If they could kill Lu Li, good. If not, then the instrument could be disposed of.

Ji Mengtian noticed how the others were in fear, which was particularly true for Die Feiyu. She was shaking and her lips were colorless.

Clearing her throat, Ji Mengtian said, “Guys, do you think we have another way? When the four cities are breached, none of us can live. When Lu Li rises to power, none of us can live. Either way, we have to face death. We might just as well fight.”

“Sure…”

Yang Xuan and the others knew perfectly well. But how to snatch the Wicked Bead? It was incredibly difficult. If it had been a piece of cake, Deputy Master would have done it himself instead of turning to them.

Ji Mengtian did not speak for a while. When she did, her voice was emotionless, “I have talked with Lu Suan. We decided that we should start with the following!”

“Lu Suan?”

Yang Xuan was taken aback. Didn’t Lu Suan have his soul rebuilt? How could he still be trying to deal with Lu Li when all of his previous memories should be gone?

“Hmm~”

Sneering, Jing Mengtian replied, “You really bought that his soul was redone? It was true for Lu Zhengtan and Lu Tiandi, though. Some old guy of the Lu Family saw that Lu Suan was skilled at plotting. Regarding him as a talent, the old guy felt sorry. Lu Suan fed him with some sweet words and that old guy, guess what, did not erase Lu Suan’s memory. He even tried to hide the fact for Lu Suan using some special skills. But do not tell others about this, or else Lu Suan will die!”

“Of course!”

Yang Xuan and the others were greatly cheered up. Lu Suan was beyond smart and he had always been the brain in their group. With his help, they didn’t have to think about anything. Lu Suan himself could figure out the entire plan…

“Gather around!”

Ji Mengtian lowered her voice. She explained to the group, “Lu Suan and I have decided that we need to do the following. From now on, we must pool our efforts together. Each one of you will be in charge of one assignment…”

…

Where there was light, there was darkness. Where there was openness, there would be secrets.

Lu Li did not know that when he was focusing his mind on dealing with the crisis of the four alien races, someone was plotting against him again. If he knew, the entire Monster Blood City would be covered with blood.

He was still closed-door cultivating in the Wicked Bead. While cultivating, he was studying the “line diagram”. At the same time, he was deliberating about Asmodian Lord’s Spatial Transference.

Lu Li thought hard and in the end, realized that there was basically one way. That was to reach the Human Sovereign Realm to see if he could dissolve the second seal of the Wicked Bead. When the second seal was dissolved, the Wicked Bead would amaze him again.

He did not lack Mystical Materials to reach the Human Sovereign Realm. He was strong in Xuan Energy and soul as well. The only concern Lu Li had was on Profound Meanings. He was not sure if ranks of the Profound Meanings he learned were high enough. The “line diagram” he derived from the Feather Wind had yet to be completely understood and he had no idea what kind of Profound Meaning that was.

For the sake of safety, he decided to cultivate for half a year and devote this time to “line diagram”. On the off chance that he failed in his attempt to reach the Human Sovereign Realm, he could face severe effect on his future cultivation. For an instant, Hunchback Tian’s vitality was sapped because he failed in building Fate Wheels and it backfired on him.

The Monster Blood City had two months at best. Patriarch of Law Enforcement said that the Demon-slaying City could last for a year or two. Lu Li put all that behind and begun cultivation with a peaceful mind.

Jiang Qiling sat next to him. He felt worried about leaving her outside alone. The Wicked Bead now was floating inside a castle. The Yu Family Earth Immoral Realm soul slave, Uncle Nine of the Jun Family and the others were protecting it. Lu Renhuang himself was right in the castle.

They were close to the yard Patriarch of Law Enforcement lived in. Unless Deputy Master had lost his mind or he would refrain from taking any rash actions.

Time moved on rapidly. The Monster Blood City could not hold on much longer. Warriors were being evacuated.

The Demon-slaying City was larger compared to the other three cities. However, it was getting packed like sardines, with so many people coming in all at once.

Many passageways to the Great Land was closed in case that the four alien races would find their way to the Great Land. Of course, before the Demon-slaying City was brought done, the Asmodian Lord would not be so stupid as to infiltrate the Great Land. It was possible that while that happened, the millions of warriors in the Demon-slaying City would also go to the Eastern Land of Oceans and slaughter the Asmodians.

Two months later, the shields over the Monster Blood City were taken down. Under the impact and attack of the four alien races, the city has raved to the ground. Through the valley came the four alien races. They surrounded up the Demon-slaying City, layer after layer.

At the same time, the masters of Barbarian Race, the Voodoo Race, and the Feather Race came. The master of the Voodoo Race had been fearful to present himself but for the very first time, he came. Altogether, on the side of the four alien races, the number of warriors reached six or seven million. Looking out from the Demon-slaying City, there was a large crowd of alien races, spreading out to the horizon.

Deputy Master, Yang Bucheng and Che the Terror had returned to the Demon-slaying City. Fortunately for them, Lu Li was in closed-door cultivation. They did have to meet, saving both sides from embarrassment or possible conflict.

With a bunch of old warriors, Deputy Master had meetings all day long and all nights long.

Even so, nobody had a way out. They could do nothing while the four alien races kept attacking at the city day and night, while the energy of the shield over the Demon-slaying City was decreasing, and while waiting for the moment when the Demon-slaying City would be breached…
