Chapter 393: I Will Take My Own Life

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

In just a day and a night, Yu Huashen had taken down the Heaven Frigid City. Nobody could count how many people he had killed, perhaps at least 10,000.

Of course, he didn't lay his hands on any civilians, children, elders or females. He was not only following Lu Li's orders, but this was the unspoken rule between Big Families.

It was okay for two families to fight with each other or even to kill all the warriors of the other side. But anyone who lays their hands on the civilians, elders, children and females would be regarded as a devil and would succumb to the concerted attacks of all others.

Powerful warriors of another three families in the city were killed as they had established ties with the Du Family. One of the three families was from a collateral line of the Du Family, the second one had been following the Du Family for years, and another one had been connected with the Du Family through marriages for generations. Even though the three families had surrendered, Yu Huashen murdered the powerful warriors in cold blood nonetheless.

Inside the Heaven Frigid Kingdom, several families in some big cities had deep ties with the Du Family as well, yet Yu Huashen had no time to deal with them right now. He had to seize complete control of the entire Heaven Frigid City now.

Lu Li nodded at Yu Huashen's report and then ordered, "Put out a notice. Ask the Family Patriarchs of families above the third rank in the Heaven Frigid Kingdom to come to the city in five days. Kill anyone who doesn't."

Lu Li couldn't unify the entire Northern Desert by just shouting that all the families should come. He planned to control the Heaven Frigid Kingdom first and then annihilate any family that didn't obey.

Food must be eaten bit by bit, and territory must be seized in the same way as well. People must be brought under control.

After Yu Huashen left, Lu Li turned to Ye Cha and said, "Have you notified the other patriarchs? Let one of them stay at home and call the others here."

Ye Cha nodded and replied, "I have made an arrangement before I came here. Four other patriarchs will be here. We will seal off our small world for now and we will help you first."

"Good!"

Northern Desert was like a bird cage now. Lu Li wasn't too worried about anyone stirring any trouble. He thought about it and said to Ming Yu, "Go and send a greeting card to the Chief Steward of Temple and Du Zheng. Tell them my plan and tell them that I will go and visit them later in person."

The Chief Steward of the Temple ranked No. 1 on the Northern Desert Warlord List. Du Zheng took the second place. The Temple wouldn't interfere in the businesses of the Northern Desert and Du Zheng would take Lu Li's side for sure. That being said, he had to show courtesy.

Lu Li pondered about it and added, "Send a letter to Madam Yan. Invite her over so she could work with you and assist me."

He also had to conquer the Thousand-island if it was the Northern Desert he wanted to unify. He was friends with Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue. Naturally, he wouldn't resort to violence there. He believed that Madam Yan would know what to do if she was clever enough.

The Bai Family had no more warriors of the Noble Lord Realm. If it weren't for Lu Li, the Bai Family would have been wiped out. Lu Li had practically become the overlord of the Thousand-island Lake. If Madam Yan weren't so thick-headed, she should know that she could come over and help Lu Li out in unifying the Northern Desert which would guarantee her getting a large share of benefits,

Lu Li gave out all his orders but he found himself with a conundrum. He didn't have any acquaintances in the Heaven Cold Kingdom so he could just send an army over there.

But what should he do with the Heaven Martial Kingdom? He was friends with Zi Lian. Last time he went to the Zi Family at the Heaven Martial Kingdom, he was well-received. He couldn't just send an army over to the Heaven Martial Kingdom.

"I'll deal with it later."

Lu Li thought about it and decided to conquer the Heaven Cold Kingdom and the Heaven Frigid Kingdom first. If the Zi Family was clever enough to surrender, Lu Li would let the Zi Family continue to rule the Heaven Martial Kingdom. The Zi Family, in that case, would only be surrendering in name and their interests wouldn't be impaired.

That night, four patriarchs of the Cyan Phoenix Race arrived. Lu Li was relieved to see them. It would be utterly easy to conquer the Heaven Cold Kingdom with so many Noble Lord Realm warriors. Even if not all families would surrender, it would only take a month's time to occupy the kingdom with Lu Li's army.

Lu Feixue had woken up but her wounds on the face were still healing. It would take a couple of days before she could be cured. Lu Li went out. That night, the Teleportation Formation in the city glowed constantly. Evidently, those Family Patriarchs were sensible enough.

Lu Li handed the matter over to Yu Huashen, but that was not to say that he wanted Yu Huashen to take everything over. Otherwise, the empire of the Northern Desert would be Yu Huashen's, not Lu Li's.

He brought Ye Cha and others to the imperial palace of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom. Ye Cha and the other four patriarchs' faces were in a blur. The information of the Cyan Phoenix Race could not be leaked or it would cause an army of troubles.

Lu Li gave the Illusions Mask to Ye Cha and others. He sat on the throne of the King of Heaven Frigid Kingdom while Yu Huashen showed the Family Patriarchs in.

There were many third and fourth rank families at the Heaven Frigid Kingdom and two at the fifth rank that had one Noble Lord Realm warrior each.

The two Family Patriarchs of the fifth rank were quite sensible. There were more than 10 families surrendering, and there were more than 100 of them altogether. They walked in, looked at Lu Li, got down on one knee and shouted, "Greetings, Young Master."

Before Lu Li announced the establishment of a kingdom or an empire, he could only be addressed as young master. Lu Li said nothing. He just stared at the crowd coldly. Only after the time for one incense stick to burn did he say, "Rise now."

Many people's clothes were drenched with sweat. Lu Li kept silent for such a long time that they thought he was going to kill.

They got up and looked up to Lu Li. He was young and yet nobody here dared to look down on him. He was accompanied by several warriors of the Noble Lord Realm.

"My name is Lu Li!"

Lu Li's cold voice rang again, "I think everyone present here today has heard stories about me. I want you to know a few things today: first, I have killed many people, including several warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm that I killed in person. Many warriors of the Noble Lord Realm died in my hands. If you doubt my abilities, step out and have a try. Second, I have many powerful warriors working for me. There are eight of the Noble Lord Realm now, and the number is increasing. Third, I will unify the Northern Desert. Nobody can stop me. If you want to, have a try and see what happens. Last but not the least, I can be cold-blooded and cruel for enemies, but I treat people on my own side very well. That is it for now. If you want to follow me, stay. If not, go and teleport away, but you will be my enemies from now on."

"Plop~"

Before Lu Li finished speaking, everyone knelt down almost at the same time. Nobody showed any doubt. Them being here on the first day meant that they were with sincerity. There were indeed Noble Lord Realm warriors with Lu Li regardless of whether he had killed others of the same realm or not.

Nobody could stop Lu Li from unifying the Northern Desert. If so, those families would hate to see their own territories broken up. Therefore, the only way was to acknowledge allegiance to Lu Li.

"I am willing to be with you and help you unify the Northern Desert and establish an empire!"

A Family Patriarch of a fifth rank Family shouted and the others followed suit, "We are willing to be with you and help you unify the Northern Desert and establish an empire!"

"Very good!" Lu Li shouted with a nod, "Yu Huashen!"

Yu Huashen came out, bowed and said, "Young Master!"

Lu Li waved his hand and said, "From today on, you will be the Great General. All of them will have to listen to you. In five days, if there are still some Family Patriarchs not here, send out the troops to suppress them. Can you conquer the Heaven Frigid Kingdom in a month?"

Yu Huashen was uplifted. His cheeks were radiating. Lu Li had handed him the military leadership. From now on, he would be the first general in the yet-to-come new empire, and he would only be second to Lu Li.

At once, Yu Huashen bowed and said, "Young Master, trust me. If I cannot conquer the Heaven Frigid Kingdom in a month, I will take my own life as an apology!"
