The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Lu Li once instructed that civilian Asmodians could not be killed. He commanded that the human warriors should not commit crimes or behave worse than an animal.

In the beginning, Lu Zhengyang was managing the affairs here. He valued Lu Li’s orders and issued a martial law. Back then, the deterrence of penalty was great, and the warriors behaved.

However, later on, Lu Zhengyang decided to fight the Feather Race, so he barely focused on the Asmodians. After a while, Lu Zhengyang was trapped in the Feather Land of the West where Lu Li went as well. All the attention of the human races was put on the Feather Land of the West. Nobody was supervising the Ocean Land of the East.

Asmodians and humans were mortal enemies. The Asmodian Lord had almost eliminated the human race before. If the Asmodian Lord had broken into the Demon-slaying City, the ending of the human race would be miserable. Many human warriors would be killed, and the civilians would be enslaved. Their children would be tortured and abused by the Asmodians…

Therefore, the hatred between humans and Asmodians were too deep. A great number of human warriors had died because of the Asmodians over the past years. Once the supervision lacked, the warriors here began to vent their anger. At first, they would just beat or curse the Asmodians. As time went by, they started to abuse the Asmodians. Gradually, there were cases where the Asmodians were killed…

Three were in charge here, a patriarch of the Lu Family, one of the Jiang Family and another one from the Demon-slaying Hall. The resources of the Ocean Land of the East were divided between the Lu Family, Jiang Family and the Demon-slaying Hall with the largest share enjoyed by the Lu Family.

The three of them were informed that some warriors were abusing the Asmodians, but they did not care. First of all, the Asmodians were the enemies, the fewer of them the better. The patriarchs would not worry even if all the Asmodians were gone. Instead, that would eliminate possible future troubles. The patriarchs believed that such a sinister and cruel race should be wiped out by now.

What was more, many warriors were stationed here, far away from the prosperity of the Central Plains, alone and miserable. The three patriarchs thought they understood the grievance nurtured in the hearts of the warriors. Therefore, they did not think much and left the matter unattended.

Since this was how they approached things, the warriors became out of control. Among them were some disciples of Lu Family’s branches. As far as they were concerned, the Lu Family was the most important family in the world, which made them the most honorable and most respectful people of the Heaven Reverse Universe.

Naturally, those Lu Family disciples would look for pleasure. Some of their underlings presented them some Asmodian beauties. Once this started, things span out of control quickly at the Ocean Land of the East, which escalated to what Lu Li just saw…

Lu Li was worried that Jiang Qiling and the twins would witness some disturbing scenes again even though the city was tidied up, so Lu Li insisted on camping outside the city. For the next couple of days, Lu Li and his three wives wander around nearby. There were some spectacular views around here, which put his three wives into a better mood.

In the afternoon on the third day, the three patriarchs in charge of the Ocean Land of the East came. Patriarch Sun came to inform Lu Li, but the latter acted as if he had not heard and let the three waited in the city.

By dusk, Lu Li finally came to the city with his three wives. The city acquired a new outlook. Even the streets were cleaned. On the streets were organized armies. The city now looked similar to a human city.

The three commanders of the Ocean Land of the East waited on the plaza with more than a hundred behind them. Lu Li found someone familiar. They were Lu Family disciples.

“Young Master Li!”

The patriarch from the Lu Family that was stationed here was named Lu Tianren. He was merely at the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm. However, nobody belittled him because he was a patriarch of the Lu Family.

As a matter of fact, Lu Tianren was in the same generation as Lu Li’s grandpa, even though he was barely related to Lu Zhengyang. Lu Tianren came over with a smile and greeted them, “Why don’t you let us know beforehand? I should have arranged for someone to pick you up.”

“Young Master Li, Ling-er!”

The patriarch of the Jiang Family was also at the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm, named Jiang Hongyu. He was actually Jiang Qiling’s father’s cousin. Jiang Hongyu was happy to see Jiang Qiling and winked at her.

“Grand Master!”

The other one was advanced in age. He was at the Earth Immortal Realm, one of the patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall. He was the only Earth Immortal Realm staying at the Ocean Land of the East. After all, there were few powerful Asmodian warriors here. One Earth Immortal Realm was enough.

Lu Li put on a stern face and did not greet the three at all. He looked at the hundred people behind them and said coldly, “You, all that have abused and killed Asmodians, go to the left. All of those who had raped Asmodian females, to the right. I will give you one chance. If I find out later that you are not being honest, you will not be the only ones executed. Your families will suffer too!”

“Swish, swish, swish~”

They were all scared. The smile on Lu Tianren and Jiang Hongyu’s face froze. They were embarrassed.

Lu Tianren walked towards Lu Li and said, “Young Master Li, this is just some puny matter. You don’t have to do this…”

“Puny?”

Lu Li put on a sarcastic smile. He threw a glance on the ground and said, “Maybe you are thinking that the Asmodians are our enemies and must be cut into pieces and be exterminated, right? You think that the Asmodians are harboring ill will towards us because their an alien race. Therefore, you don’t have to treat them well, and you can kill them at will or rape them as you like. Is that what you think? Hmm?”

Lu Li stressed the “hmm”, scaring many people until they became pale. They were too scared to even breathe, or answer his questions. However, it was evident that some were not convinced. They still believed that the Asmodians should be ripped into pieces and should not be regarded as humans.

“Everything has a soul!”

Lu Li continued what he was saying solemnly, “What do you think is the difference between humans and Xuan Beasts? We have souls, intelligence, civilization. We know moral principles, and the sense of propriety, justice, honesty, and honor. If a human eats raw animal flesh and drink its blood or stay undressed like beasts and kill like beasts, do you think that’s still a human?”

“The human race is just another race. To the Asmodians, we are not different from the Feather Race, Voodoo Race, or the Mammoth Race. In other words—humans are not nobler than other races. We and the other races are equals!”

“Here is another way to put it—all the ancient races were like the human race because like us, they had intelligence and had established civilizations. They had a sense of propriety, justice, honesty, and honor. The battles between the races should not be judged by right or wrong because each race had a reasonable position of their own!”

“In the ancient times, humans were inside the jungle of tens of thousands of races, and we were weak. Back then, humans were bullied and tortured, which was understandable given how vulnerable the humans were, and how strong the ancient races were. Later on, humans grew stronger. The Emperor of Heaven Reverse was the most powerful of the Heaven Reverse Universe, and humans ascended to the peak of the Heaven Reverse Universe. We exterminated many ancient races and chased away the Asmodians, Feather Race, Voodoo Race, and the Barbarian Race to those barren lands. From the point of view of the four alien races and many other ancient races, we humans are wicked and even demonic!”

Lu Li paused for a moment. He threw another glance at the crowd in front of him before he continued, “What do you think you and your warriors are doing at the Ocean Land of the East look like to the civilians of Asmodians? Like demons? Fiends? The battle between the two races is just like that between two families. You can kill warriors. There is nothing to be said against that. But do you think it’s humane to kill your enemy’s vulnerable families and rape Asmodian girls? Do you think you are still qualified to be humans? Do you have any humanity left in you? If not… then what is the difference between you and demons?”

Toward the end, Lu Li’s tone grew increasingly cold and stern. Like an unsheathed sword, many shivered with fear. He looked around and said, “Since you have become demons, how about… I send you to hell?”
