Chapter 264: Avenge

"Why hasn’t he come out yet?

"

Lu Li was gone for a couple of hours. It was about to get brighter outside and yet he still hadn’t come out. Hunchback Tian didn’t know what to do. Ming Yu might be back at any time. If Ming Yu could not find Lu Li at the God-down Island, he might come to the Blood Evil Island and he might go down the volcano.

Time passed on. Two hours later, the underground lake finally moved. Lu Li flew out from the underground lake and ran into the tunnel.

"How about it, Master?

" Hunchback Tian asked. Lu Li waved his hand and said,

"Let’s go up now.

"

The two rushed toward the volcano. Lu Li arrived at his temporary residence, looked at the thousands of Liu Family members and said,

"Okay, go to the Blood Evil Island. Stay in the Blood Evil Fortress. I am here so don’t worry.

"

"Blood Evil Island?

"

Liu Yi was confused. Since they were to go to the Blood Evil Island, why would they have to go back and forth? Why did he ask them to go to the Blood Evil Island and to the Earth Dragon Island and then go back? There were many invalid, seniors and females…

"Go, go!

"

Liu Yi didn’t doubt Lu Li’s decision. She immediately arranged the Liu Family members to go towards the Blood Evil Island. Luckily, the Blood Evil Island was not far from here so they could make it in two hours.

"Master, what are you…

"

Hunchback Tian was confused. What was Lu Li doing? Why didn’t he get the Liu Family members into the small world?

"Don’t ask so many questions. Go to the Blood Evil Island as well. Take this Jade Talisman. If there are anything you cannot deal with, break it.

"

Lu Li handed over a warning Jade Talisman. Seeing that Hunchback Tian was about to ask more, Lu Li waved his hand and said,

"Just go. Trust me. You will be fine unless I am dead. Also…ask Patriarch Nine to send someone to the God-down City. If Ming Yu is back, tell him to meet me here.

"

"Okay!

"

Hunchback Tian looked to the volcano thoughtfully and then went toward the Blood Evil Island. Lu Li went to the temporary residence by himself.

Lu Li had changed his mind!

After several hours of discussion with Ye Cha, Lu Li decided not to send the Liu Family members into the small word. For one thing, he didn’t want to expose the small world. For another, there were many seniors and women and children in the Liu Family. It would be troublesome to go into the underground lake. What if the children and the seniors drowned in the lake?

As for safety? Lu Li didn’t worry. Ye Cha had made it clear that he could keep everyone safe just by himself. Lu Li had chosen to believe him.

"Whoosh!

"

Ming Yu came very quickly. In six hours, he had reached Lu Li’s temporary residence. When he saw Lu Li cultivating by himself in there, he asked in confusion,

"Young Master, what are you…

"

Ming Yu had found out some information before he came. He knew that Lu Li wanted to relocate the Liu Family but did not understand the meaning of his deeds…

Lu Li opened his eyes and said,

"I have decided not to leave now. After all, even if something is wrong, you can bring me and we can leave at any time, right?

"

"No!

"

Ming Yu said with certainty.

"Young Master, I am not sure I can do that. If Yu Huashen is here, I can get you out safely. But if the kings of the Heaven Martial Kingdom and the Heaven Frigid Kingdom are here, I can barely go by myself. If Du Zheng is here, he can kill me in one move.

"

Lu Li looked more solemn. He thought for a while and said,

"Relax, I have other means. If anything happens, you can go first!

"

"What…

"

Ming Yu’s eyes flickered under the Ghost Mask. He looked at Lu Li who remained so calm and could not figure out why. Lu Li had other means? How could he fight against powerful warriors of the Noble Lord Realm?

"Okay!

"

Finally, Ming Yu gave in. Lu Li was his master. If Lu Li insisted on staying, there is nothing he could say. Of course…should anything happen, he would not listen to Lu Li anymore. He would knock Lu Li out and take him away.

…

With time pressing on, the Thousand-island Lake became even more chaotic.

The Teleportation Formation was reactivated and many people were teleported here. All the warriors and disciples of Fourth-rank Families were here and many from Third-rank Families came as well.

The Teleportation Formation had been glowing all along as groups after groups of people were sent in. Then they were arranged to leave the city for the mountains behind the Bai Emperor Mountain. There were not so many houses inside the Bai Emperor Mountain to settle down so many people so they could only live in caves that were dug out for now.

Many families of the Thousand-island Lake wanted to use this place as their last battleground. If the Bai Emperor Mountain was compromised, then all would die with it.

The entire Thousand-island Lake was encircled so there was no escape anyways. If they were all going to die, they might just as well die a heroic death.

Surrender?

This idea didn’t even cross people’s minds. They knew very well how much the three Royal Families hated the Thousand-island Lake. The ending for surrendering would be more tragic.

Of course, there were some families that had other plans. They wanted to flee in chaos once the war broke out. By that time, the three Royal Families would pay more attention to the Bai Emperor Mountain so the small families might have a way out.

The Heaven Punishing Auction House at the Heaven Punishing City were under surveillance even though there was no evidence that Du Zheng took part in this matter. Nevertheless, Madam Yan still decided that she could never be too careful. If there was anything going on at the auction house, an Eternal Realm warrior that was hiding there would kill all the warriors in the auction house.

Time went by. The news brought by scouts became worse and worse.

Almost all the more than 10,000 Soul Pond Realm warriors that attacked the Yu Emperor City were killed. The remaining warriors were chased after like homeless dogs.

Bai Leng had gone missing. He went missing with the five Eternal Realm warriors. Scouts could not find any information about that. Bai Leng didn’t send anything back, either. They could be hiding or killed by powerful warriors of the Zi Family.

There were more and more armies gathering outside the Thousand-island Lake. In total, there were more than hundreds of thousands of warriors and they were all at realms higher that the Spirit Sea Realm. These armies were formed by warriors from the families in the three Kingdoms, ready to loot and rob in the Thousand-island Lake.

The girls at the Thousand-island Lake spent their days in fright and tears. Many girls even had the urge to commit suicide. Many of them felt they would better die than be raped by the hundreds of thousands of warriors of the three kingdoms when they rushed to all the islands like beasts.

…

By the 10th day!

The armies moved. They entered the Thousand-island Lake from all sides. Numerous wooden boats, battleships and Iron-armored Ships entered the Thousand-island Lake in an overwhelming way. The more than 200,000 warriors were divided up into more than a dozen teams and rushed into the lake from all sides.

Since there were too many of them, nobody could tell how many powerful warriors came, how many Fate Wheel Realm, Eternal Realm or Noble Lord Realm warriors were here.

The islands at the entrance of the Thousand-island Lake were in big trouble. With so many warriors here, there was no way to regular the armies. Or… the commanders never wanted to regulate their armies…

Many people were killed at once and many women were raped. Wealth was taken, and not a single trace of life could be found from where the armies treaded.

…

"Report—

"

Inside the God-down City, there were many families. All the warriors from nearby Third and Second-rank Islands and their disciples were here, ready to fight at the risk of their lives.

Lu Li was not in the city so Pei An became the leader. The Island Owners of the Killers Island, the Devil Island, the Black Fox Island and the Tiger Island were all in the courtyard, listening to reports from the Scouts.

"Lords!

"

The scout said in a deep voice,

"From the northwest came more than 100 ships. The one at the front has a flag on it that says the Yu Family. The Iron-armored Ships can be here in six hours at most.

"

"The Yu Family?

"

Pei An and the others looked at each other. They felt upset. The Yu Family had chosen to attack from this side? It seemed Yu Huashen was ready to put the God-down Island into a bloodbath, kill Lu Li and avenge themselves.
