Chapter 1195 - Iron Fist

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Li wandered around in the Earth Imperial Universe with Jiang Qiling, Bai Xiashuang, and Bai Qiuxue for a month. Gradually, Lu Family gained a firm foothold here. With Blazing Huo, the Deaf Taoist, and Chen Tianxian’s assistance, chaos could be generally avoided.

Lu Renhuang didn’t want to meddle with the familial matters at first. However, he was the strongest in the Lu Family apart from Lu Li. When Lu Li freed himself from management, Lu Renhuang had to come out or else he could not control the situation and others would belittle the Lu Family.

Since Lu Family settled in the Earth Imperial Universe, the other native major families in the Earth Imperial Universe immediately declared that they would follow Lu Family’s lead. Two Family Patriarchs did not come in time. The Deaf Taoist paid a visit to the two families in person and killed the Family Patriarchs. Instantly, every family in the Earth Imperial Universe behaved.

Though many families had stated that they would cross over to Lu Li’s side, Lu Renhuang and Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not say yes at once.

Because… those families had taken up many prosperous lands. A lot of locations harboring treasures and valuables that belonged to the Hao and Jun Family were now divided up among other families…

Currently, publicly, Lu Family was the ruler. However, the other native major families had occupied over eighty percent of the blessed lands in the Earth Imperial Universe. Why would Lu Family want to stay at the Earth Imperial Universe if they could not take over most of the resources and blessed lands? How would Lu Family draw powerful warriors and families to their side? How would the Lu Family comfort the families that had come here from the Heaven Reverse Universe?

For this reason, Lu Renhuang and Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not accept the seemingly kind gestures even if the native families adopted a humble attitude and stated over and over again that they would follow the Lu Family’s lead.

Patriarch of Law Enforcement dispatched someone to start a secret mission of finding out the blessed lands that once belonged to the Hao and Jun Family. He made it clear that the families that had occupied those places must abandon it. Anyone that dared to pocket such places would be faced with execution.

The Earth Imperial Universe had few powerful warriors. Only a dozen native families still had Semi-God Realm warriors, and those were not particularly strong, either. Even Lu Renhuang alone could overwhelm the entire Earth Imperial Universe, not to mention when the Deaf Taoist, Blazing Huo, and Chen Tianxian were asked to help.

When the situation was made clear to him, Lu Renhuang issued a notice that the other families should abandon the blessed lands they occupied, every piece of them. Violators would have to face the consequences.

The news caused a disturbance among the families in the Earth Imperial Universe. Since Hao Family was finished, some families had secretly occupied some of Hao Family’s old territories. Later on, Jun Family withdrew from the Earth Imperial Universe. The remaining families could not let the blessed lands sit idly, so they took those as well.

They had to give up the lion shares they had already pocketed? This was sadder news for them than death.

Those families discussed amongst themselves. They decided only to hand over a small portion and keep the larger shares to themselves. They believed that the Lu Family would not wage wars against them while they had not achieved a solid foundation yet as the newcomer.

Lu Family would find it difficult to move a single step if they offended the local families in the Earth Imperial Universe. It was not likely that the Lu Family could have killed all the people of the Earth Imperial Universe.

Of course, there were the more timid families that handed over their shares of resources and blessed lands at once. They apologized sincerely and asked for mercy.

The day that Lu Li came back with Jiang Qiling, Bai Xiashuang, and Bai Qiuxue was the deadline Lu Family had declared. The major families only turned over thirty percent of their shares. They had made a decision to keep on hogging the remaining well-known blessed lands.

“The Deaf Taoist!”

Lu Family was having a meeting to deliberate about possible actions. When Lu Li heard, he gave the Deaf Taoist an order directly without consulting with others. “Deliver this message for me. The families that do not give up the resources and blessed lands within one day will have to suffer the consequences. Get a list of the families that fail to do so within one day. Go ahead and destroy them all.”

Lu Li’s order had set a tone for this meeting. His method was cruel and heartless. One day was such a short notice. He had left no buffer time for those families to consider.

Lu Zhengyang and Great Grandpa Five frowned. “Lu Li, are you pushing them too hard? By waving wars like this, people of the Earth Imperial Universe will find you violent and brutal. You will not win their hearts. Without popular support… it is going to be hard for us to stabilize.”

“Ha, ha!”

Lu Li waved the Deaf Taoist away to carry out the order. Afterward, Lu Li explained with a smile, “Grandpa, we are fighting against the other families of the Earth Imperial Universe for interests. We are taking food out of their mouths. Whatever we do will upset them eventually.”

“Hao Family and the Jun Family were defeated and ruined. But the Earth Imperial Universe is as strong as iron. To buy popularity is a daunting task. We cannot do that unless we have decades or even over a hundred years. If so… let us change the Earth Imperial Universe. Shuffle the cards. We will turn the Earth Imperial Universe into a piece of blank paper, and in the future, you can paint whatever you want on it.”

Lu Renhuang nodded yes. “Father, Lu Li has a point. Those families do not listen to us. They say one thing but do another. This can be a potential hazard for us. In one day, I will set out with the Deaf Taoist and we will defeat all the families that are not willing to submit.”

Lu Li added, “Tell Chen Tianxian and Blazing Huo to come along. Either we don’t move, but when we do, we must move at a lightning speed and draw the major families in the Earth Imperial Universe in a blood bath!”

Lu Li’s message was sent out soon. Countless families in the Earth Imperial Universe were in a complete panic. After all, this time, the message came from Lu Li. This practically was an ultimatum. The families that still were not smart enough to know what to do would be faced with destruction.

But, Lu Li had given such a short notice…

During that day, many families gathered their patriarch for meetings and also exchanged information with the other families as well. However, before they could come up with a solution or decision, the time was up.

Several families were scared. They gave up all the resources and blessed lands they pocketed at once. They admitted their guilt and made it clear that they would be at Lu Family’s disposal.

One day passed. The Deaf Taoist, Chen Tianxian, and Blazing Huo made a list of the families that were still hogging. Afterward, they began to take action.

The Deaf Taoist and Lu Renhuang were in a group, while Blazing Huo and Chen Tianxian were in a team. They each took several Semi-God Realm warriors and teleported away.

When they arrived, they did not ask for any explanation before they killed those Family Patriarchs. In two families, all the patriarchs and warriors above the Human Sovereign Realm were executed.

As the other families learned the news, they were scared out of their wits. They sent a message to the Divine Imperial City at once, stating they would give up all the lands they occupied and that they would even be willing to give up some of their own.

Lu Family did not respond at all!

Lu Renhuang, Blazing Huo, and the others pressed forward on this journey of bloodbath. Blood rain on the Earth Imperial Universe.

Since Lu Family would not accept any gesture of surrender now, the other families had to fight with maximum effort. Some families started to run. They hid in small worlds, deciding that they would endure present hardships to revive and stage a comeback when the family grew strong again.

Lu Li stayed in the City of Great Land for half a month in command. The families on the list would either be destroyed or have escaped. The landscape of the Earth Imperial Universe was reformulated. Lu Family now controlled most of the blessed lands and resources.

“This is it!”

When Lu Renhuang returned, Lu Li discussed some matters with the others and bid farewell to Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang, and Jiang Qiling.

He teleported to the entrance of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos by himself. He went toward the Prison of Ice and arrived at the Prison of Wind. There, he started to cultivate to become an immortal.
