The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 547: Tear-up



Chapter 547: Tear-up

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Grand Master's words spread across the Demon-slaying City, causing a round of heated discussion.

Grand Master didn't provide any explanation, which was not surprising. But it was against the rule that the Grand Master said he would protect Lu Li for 10 years.

Demon-slaying Hall could not interfere in any conflict at the Great Land, which was a strict rule. If Lu Li joined the Demon-slaying Hall, then nobody would have any opposing views. But it would seem that the Demon-slaying Hall wouldn't take Lu Li in or he wouldn't join.

If so, Lu Li going back to the Great Land would make the incident a conflict between powers outside the Demon-slaying Hall. Theoretically speaking, the Demon-slaying Hall should not interfere. Grand Master had shamed Deputy Master and many others and now he was favoring Lu Li in public and providing protection for him for 10 years. It was utterly strange. It was nothing unusual to cause some commotion.

However, the Grand Master was prestigious. He had been in this position for more than 1000 years and he had always been the most powerful at the Demon-slaying Hall. Nobody had the courage to go against his will. It was true the Deputy Master had a group of supporters. But if he wanted to contend against the Grand Master? It would be asking for the moon.

Grand Master would only protect Lu Li for 10 years and had stated clearly that after 10 years, he would let it go. In this case, many people felt less uncomfortable. For many old guys, 10 years was nothing. It was only enough for one closed-door cultivation.

What could be achieved in 10 years?

Could Lu Li reach the Earth Immortal's Realm? What if he could? There were so many Earth Immortal Realm warriors at the four forces that Lu Li would still be slayed.

There was one more thing that bothered people at the Demon-slaying City. Why did the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse suddenly begin to glow? Was there a connection between Grand Master coming out and the occurrence?

If Grand Master wouldn't talk about it, then nobody would ever know.

Judging by the looks of it, Grand Master wouldn't say it. Even Law Enforcement Patriarch knew little. As for Deputy Master and the other patriarchs, they wouldn't even know little.'

Anyway, Lu Li had become famous. The news would spread across the entire Great Land soon. Many Family Patriarchs would have Lu Li's information in their hands.

Jiang Qiling woke up the next day. As soon as she did, she rushed out to question a maid. She was only relieved when she knew Lu Li was still alive.

She went to Jiang Tianshun to ask for Lu Li's whereabouts. Upon knowing that Lu Li had been sent out of the Demon-slaying Grounds, she requested to leave right way. But Jiang Tianshun wouldn't allow. His plan for her was to cultivate in the Demon-slaying City for 10 years.

"No, I want to go back to the Pavilion of Delicacy."

Jiang Qiling retorted. She wished she could fly to the Northern Desert right away to see if Lu Li was okay.

Jiang Tianshun pulled a long face and said resolutely, "You can go nowhere. You must stay at the Demon-slaying City and cultivate for 10 years or else…Lu Li cannot survive."

"What?"

Jiang Qiling couldn't stay calm. She was ready to threaten him with her life. Now she hurried her question out, "Why? What does me coming out have anything to do with Lu Li's life?"

"You are the future chosen warrior!"

Jiang Tianshun fed her with a big fat lie, "Lu Li has offended too many people. Even the Grand Master can only protect him for 10 years. What would Deputy Master and the others think when they see you, the future chosen warrior, get close with Lu Li? Aren't they going to try everything to finish Lu Li? If Grand Master cannot stand the pressure, can Lu Li stay alive?"

Seeing that Jiang Qiling was scared still, Jiang Tianshun added, "Grand Master had ordered that in 10 years, no force can confront Lu Li and also—no force, especially the Pavilion of Delicacy, can lend him a helping hand. He is expected to run his own course. If you go to the Northern Desert, you will be indirectly helping out Lu Li. Think about it…if Grand Master knows about this and Deputy Master put pressure on Grand Master, will Lu Li be allowed to stay alive?"

"Ji Mengtian and the other four are exiled to the Blood Realm for three years. There is a good chance that they will die there. If you go to the Northern Desert to help Lu Li, the Samsara Palace, Hades Society, Pavilion of Blossoms and the Lu Family will have an excuse to make a move. They can sneak an Earth Immortal Realm warrior over to kill Lu Li. Grand Master, in that case, will be faced with immense pressure and it will not be convenient for him to stand up for Lu Li."

"Therefore, you going out to Lu Li will do harm to him, instead of good! If you want to help him, then stay at the Demon-slaying City and cultivate. The stronger you are, the higher your position at the Demon-slaying Hall will be. By that time, when the forces try to take actions against Lu Li, they will have to consider if they are going to offend you first."

"What is more, Grand Master has given a time limit of 10 years. How far can Lu Li's cultivation go in 10 years? Can he stop the powerful warriors from the four forces after 10 years when they go to the Northern Desert? But if you can reach a high enough realm in this time and let the three Masters and the patriarchs value you, then you can just say the word and Lu Li will be saved."

"I have made the pros and cons quite clear to you. If you are hell-bent on having your own way and you wish Lu Li would die right away, then go to him at your will."

Jiang Tianshun had spoken for a long time of both truth and lies, both kind words and intimidation. Jiang Qiling had lost the courage to take any action.

Actually, Jiang Tianshun's words made sense. It was not good for Jiang Qiling to go to Lu Li now, even though it wouldn't go so far as to cost his life. But it would be better for him if she could stay and cultivate.

The other warriors couldn't prolong unnecessary stay at the Demon-slaying City and they couldn't be given resources from the Demon-slaying Hall. But Jiang Qiling was a different story. She was the future chosen warrior that had received divine force from the Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Even if she didn't join the Demon-slaying Hall, she would still be entitled to get resources for cultivation.

"Grandpa, you are telling me the truth?"

Jiang Qiling was half convinced. After all, Jiang Tianshun caved to the four forces, which diminished her trust in him.

Jiang Tianshun answered with a forced smile, "Will your own grandpa put you in harm's way? If you don't believe me, go ask Law Enforcement Patriarch."

"Okay!"

Jiang Qiling really went to Law Enforcement Patriarch. Her relationship with Lu Li had just began. It saddened her that they could only meet after 10 years.

But…

When she found Law Enforcement Patriarch and told him about what Jiang Tianshun said, Law Enforcement Patriarch gave the same answer.

Jiang Qiling could go to any patriarch, not only the Law Enforcement Patriarch, and she would get similar answers.

It is highly likely that after 10 years, Lu Li would be killed. But she was the future chosen warrior. If she died along with Lu Li, it would be a great loss for human kind.

Patriarchs at the Demon-slaying Hall were shrewd. They could scare Jiang Qiling easily without having to get their stories straight.

After consulting with Law Enforcement Patriarch, Jiang Qiling accepted the fact. She had to listen to Jiang Tianshun and cultivate at the Demon-slaying City for 10 years.

Jiang Qiling wrote a letter while crying and asked Jiang Tianshun to send it out and pass it onto Lu Li via the Pavilion of Delicacy. Jiang Tianshun wouldn't stop such a small thing. He called over a guy to take care of it.

Jiang Qiling watched as the messenger go. She stood outside the hall all by herself. Her tears dropped to the floor.

She stood for the time for one incense stick to burn before she wiped off her tears and murmured, "Lu Li, wait for me for 10 years. I will reach the Earth Immortal Realm during this time. By then, if the four forces dare to kill you, I will kill my way out of the Demon-slaying Hall and tear up the four forces."

"Eh?"

Jiang Tianshun heard Jiang Qiling's murmur from inside the hall. He was scared. At the moment, he even doubted whether letting Jiang Qiling stay at the Demon-slaying City was a good idea or not.

After 10 years, if this girl really reached the Earth Immortal Realm and Lu Li was killed, it was possible she would bath the entire Great Land in blood.
