Chapter 931: Breakthrough

Lu Li’s order was obeyed. Besides, the patriarchs were weak themselves. Therefore, they left with Lu Li as soon as possible.
They flew over three thousand miles away from the Valley of Feather and found a place to hide. Lu Zhengyang and the others started to cure their wounds. Ke Mang treated Lu Li while Patriarch Sun was on the alert against enemies.
As a matter of fact, Patriarch Sun didn’t have to be too worried. Most of Feather Race warriors had escaped and run to different directions. Few would have the courage to take actions. There had always been scouts around the Valley of Feather. The result of Lu Li and Ye Nishang’s battle would have been learned by the warriors now.
The Feather Race warriors were stunned to hear the news and descended into terror. The three princes were in a troop respectively. Upon hearing the news, they fled with their loyal underlings without a second of hesitation!
The royal family of the Feather Race controlled a small world where it resided some civilians and housed many treasures and wealth. Most of the royal disciples had been relocated to the small world. There, the three princes could enjoy the same glory and wealth.
The three fleeing princes did not take all the armies with them. Those warriors had come from different families of the Feather Race. Those warriors started to look for their own ways out. The leaders teleported away with warriors of their own forces and sought after routes of retreat.
In three days, the news was learned across the Feather Land of the West. Families, big or small, were devastated. All began to think of their own way of retreat. The families that controlled small worlds relocated to those places. The families that did not have such places in control were prepared either for a desperate fight or surrender to the human race.
“All hail the Grand Master!”
“Long live the Grand Master!”
“The almighty Grand Master!”
Inside a mountain range at the east of the Feather Land of the West hid a human army of hundreds of thousands. There had been scouts probing about the situation. The news that Lu Li had won a landslide victory was heard at Feather Race cities. Those human warriors were informed at once.
Three patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall survived and stayed with the army. The first thing came to their mind was to lead the army and sweep across the Feather Land of the West, fighting their way to the Valley of Feather and join Lu Li.
But one of the patriarchs was conservative. He proposed that they contact Lu Li first and took actions upon his orders. The patriarch insisted that they had made a mistake and that if they were to mess up again, they would be too ashamed to meet Lu Li.
The other two patriarchs decided to adopt a more conservative attitude. After all, the Feather Race had lost all hopes. The Feather Race might put up a desperate fight if they knew they had nothing to lose. If all the human warriors were to sacrifice during this final battle, Lu Li might be in bigger troubles.
Lu Zhengyang recovered quickly. They only lost some Xuan Energy and were poisoned. Being at the Earth Immortal Realm, he and the other patriarchs were strong. In two or three days, they had recovered.
Lu Li was still in a coma, but his state was better than the last time. During that time, when he was sent back to the Demon-slaying City, Lu Li had aged. His skin wrinkled, like withered bark.
For this time, even though Lu Li was in a coma and his breaths were shallow, at least he was still breathing, and his body was not aging, indicating that his life source was not harmed seriously.
That being said, Lu Zhengyang took careful actions. He gathered the patriarchs for a meeting and decided not to attack the Feather Land of the West for now. They would go back to the entrance that Lu Li came in from. There, they would gather the other warriors in hiding and conquer that region first.
Almost all the powerful ones of the Feather Race had been eliminated. Those who left could not pose any threat. They could come back to the Feather Land of the West to take control at any time, but Lu Li’s situation required urgent treatment. He must be taken back for the Shennong Race to be taken care of.
For this arrangement, Ke Mang and Patriarch Sun agreed. They set forth on an overnight trip. Lu Zhengyang had a piece of interspatial artifact where people could stay in. But the space inside was small. It was given to him by Patriarch of Law Enforcement.
Lu Zhengyang let Ke Mang and Lu Li in. Then, he dashed to the nearby cities like a preying tiger and murdered every single warrior in the city. Eventually, Lu Zhengyang teleported away.
He teleported from place to place, and in all those places he butchered Feather Race warriors!
Lu Zhengyang and the other 28 Earth Immortal Realm warriors were unstoppable. The Feather Race had few Earth Immortal Realm warriors. The average Feather Race warriors could not have resisted the attacks from Lu Zhengyang.
The human army that had been hiding in the mountains finally received the news and was able to get in touch with Lu Zhengyang. He ordered the army to march toward the south and gather at the region where Lu Li came in from.
The major families of the Feather Race had run away. Lu Zhengyang met little resistance. Ten days later, they reached the region. The four Earth Immortal Realm patriarchs that Lu Li told to stay here and those of the Shadowland Race were still here, protecting the entrance.
Lu Li’s situation was not getting better, nor worsening. Lu Zhengyang asked Patriarch Sun to escort Lu Li back in person. But Lu Zhengyang stayed. When the army arrived, he and the other patriarchs started their occupation effort.
Lu Zhengyang and the group of patriarchs were harboring some anger and they were shamed. Therefore, they did not go back with Lu Li. They wanted to conquer the Feather Land of the West so as to salvage some dignity…
Of course, this time, they were careful. They took baby steps. They took control of two entrances first. In this way, unlike the previous time, they had a way to escape to if something went wrong.
The army started with one million. Now, only six hundred thousand were left. In the beginning, the number of Earth Immortal Realm patriarchs was 41 which had reduced to 31. This was a great loss.
That being said!
Even they were a force formidable enough. They swept across the region. In half a month, they had conquered nearly half of the Feather Land of the West. It was only a matter of time before they could take control of the entire land.
When Lu Li was brought back, people of the Demon-slaying City were shocked. But this time, Jiang Tianshun blocked the passage of information to stop it from spreading to the Great Land.
Patriarch Sun gave an explanation that Lu Li had just taken a special elixir that had consumed his energy. He had killed all the powerful warriors of the Feather Race and had saved Lu Zhengyang.
This explanation quieted down the chaos in the Demon-slaying City. Many were still worried and concerned, though. To many warriors, Lu Li meant the world to them. Nothing could happen to him or else the present glory of the human race would be wiped out in one day.
Jiang Tianshun asked the Clan Leader of the Shennong Race over at once. Jiang Qiling, Bai Xiashuang, and Bai Qiuxue came as well. They were worried to see Lu Li in a coma and looked after him day and night.
This time, Lu Li’s situation was indeed much better. Ding Gui inspected him and asked others to put their mind at ease. Ding Gui claimed that Lu Li would wake up in half a month and he would recover soon.
“Rustle, rustle, rustle~”
Ding Gui gave Lu Li some treatment. The others were relieved to see that Lu Li looked better and his breaths had stabilized. They were about to leave when they heard some noises from outside.
“You useless fools!”
Jiang Tianshun looked outside with anger, wondering who would be so insensitive as to disturb at the moment. But all he heard was scolding. An elder with grey hair came in and glared at all who was present in the room and condemned them. “You are all good-for-nothings without the Grand Master? Dozens of patriarchs and a million warriors, and you are battered by the Feather Race? You need Grand Master to save you? Because of you, he is injured again. If something were to happen to the Grand Master, then you senior warriors can all sacrifice your lives, but it would not get him back.”
The person who came here was strict, but none dared to talk back. All the patriarchs lowered their heads because this man was the Patriarch of Law Enforcement.
Jiang Tianshun used psychic power to check. Suddenly, he trembled and said while ravished with joy, “Patriarch of Law Enforcement, you have made a breakthrough?”
