The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 269: Enemy at the Gates

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li really was not afraid of one or two Noble Lord Realm warriors attacking.

He had three Noble Lord Realm warriors at his side. Before the armies launched their attacks, Fourth Patriarch of the Cyan Phoenix Race also made the breakthrough. Granted, he was not as powerful as Ye Cha, nor did he perceived any Profound Meaning, but Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Cyan Phoenix Race were born to be better than their human counterparts.

At first, when Lu Li only had Ming Yu by his side, he could only take care of himself. He did not have the ability to think about Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang. Now that he had the capability, naturally, he wanted to help the twins since he was indebted to them. Not long ago, the twins risked their lives and went to the Yu Emperor City for him.

As for the Bai Family?

Lu Li could not worry about all of them. Now there must be countless powerful warriors at the Bai Emperor Mountain. Even if Lu Li went there with Ming Yu and Ye Cha, he still could not make it back.

There were five Noble Lord Realm warriors over there. Plus, it was said that Chief Steward Du of the Heaven Punishing Auction House was involved and he was the second most powerful on the Northern Desert Warlord List. Lu Li was grateful to the twins, not to the Bai Family, and he wished not to send himself to death.

Pei An was afraid to send a person over to the Heaven Prison City as he did not know what the actual situation was like. Luckily, the Pei Family had been living at the Thousand-island Lake for hundreds of years so he had his special means to send over the message.

Lu Li assumed command at the God-down City and closed the Teleportation Formation in the city. He gathered all the scouts from all the families and sent them to all directions to collect information, waiting for Yu Huashen to arrive.

…

Yu Huashen was at the Heaven Prison City.

With him there were Du Heng, the King of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom, Zi Huanyu, Chief Patriarch of the Zi Family, Ye Li, Third Patriarch of the Ye Family and Qi Tianhe, Family Patriarch of the Qi Family at the Heaven Frigid Kingdom.

Du Ziling and Ye Yuhan both came. Apart from them, there were more than 30 Eternal Realm warriors and hundreds of the Fate Wheel Realm.

All the powerful warriors were gathered at the Heaven Prison City. They were here to conquer the Bai Emperor Mountain and divide the enormous wealth of the Bai Family.

The Bai Family had controlled the Thousand-island Lake for more than 2000 years so the amount of wealth might be unimaginable. The three Royal Families turned their noses at the wealth of the families on the Fourth-rank islands. Only the mountain-like wealth of the Bai Family could interest the three Royal Families.

Powerful warriors of the three Royal Families met up and fought their way into the Thousand-island Lake together. After they took a Fourth-rank island down, they were immediately teleported to the Heaven Prison City.

The Teleportation Formation of the Heaven Prison City had been closed down but it was forced open a few hours ago.

The Eternal Realm warrior sent by the Bai Family to spy on the Heaven Punishing Auction House was suddenly killed. Then hundreds of warriors suddenly appeared in the auction house, occupied the plaza and took control of the Teleportation Formation to guide powerful warriors of the three Royal Families over.

Now it was all clear. Du Zheng, Chief Steward of the auction house, did take part in killing the Old Man of Heaven Prison.

Of course…

Clarity over the matter wouldn’t help. The moment powerful warriors of the three Royal Families arrived, the master of the Heaven Prison City already changed. There weren’t many warriors in the city so it was taken under control by the Royal Families easily.

“Buzzing!”

The Teleportation Formation kept glaring as powerful warriors of the three Royal Families were teleported over. The more than a score of Eternal Realm warriors had taken the Heaven Prison City into their control. Many Fate Wheel Realm warriors were patrolling around to kill anyone that dared to fight back.

Yu Huashen stood at the plaza with the other four Noble Lord Realm warriors and looked at the radiant Bai Emperor Mountain at the north.

Even though the Bai Emperor Mountain was covered in the mountain protection formation, the five were not concerned. No matter how strong the formation was, could it sustain the attack from all those powerful warriors? Even if they could not break it in for now, it would collapse after the energy in it was consumed.

“Whoosh!”

A patriarch of the Yu Family suddenly came over and whispered to Yu Huashen. Instantly, Yu Huashen’s eyes were filled with coldness. He shouted, “Is that true?”

The Patriarch of the Yu Family extended his hand and a broken jade talisman showed up in his hand. Yu Huashen’s face became even gloomier. He roared, “Lu Li, I will fail to be a human if I cannot kill you!”

Yu Huashen’s shout attracted nearby warriors’ attention. Zi Huanyu, the Chief Patriarch of the Zi Family asked, “Yu Huashen, what happened?”

Yu Huashen suppressed down his anger and said, “The armies sent to the God-down Island were wiped out. Yu Lun and the others were killed.”

Coldness flashed across the eyes of Du Heng, Zi Huanyu, Ye Li and Zi Tian. All the other armies were experiencing no problems but it just so happened that the ones at the God-down Island were met with misfortune?

They were ready to kill all the warriors of the major families of the Thousand-island Lake. Any unattended gap would allow many warriors flee. What if the warriors rushed into the three kingdoms and put them into a bloodbath?

“God-down Island, Lu Li?”

Du Ziling, Ye Yuhan and Zi Lian were together with some other young disciples of the three Royal Families. They discussed in a low voice.

Lu Li had attracted all the spotlight at the Northern Desert.

He bested the most outstanding disciples of the three kingdoms at the Tomb of Dragon King and severely wounded Du Ziling. Then he went bravely to the Heaven Martial Kingdom and shamed the Yu Family. To a large extent, Lu Li was the reason that things turned out to the current state.

To kill all the warriors of the Thousand-island Lake was basically a done deal until something went amiss over at Lu Li’s place.

“Please focus on the Bai Emperor Mountain while I go to the God-down Island. I will take Lu Li’s head by myself.”

Yu Feijia coldly said and left with Yu Family warriors by Teleportation Formation. Du Heng and the others didn’t try to stop him. After all, those who died were the Yu Family warriors, not theirs.

Yu Huashen stepped into the Teleportation Formation with three warriors of the Eternal Realm. However, after the guarding warriors poured their Xuan Energy into the Teleportation Formation, it didn’t lit up. Obviously, the one at the God-down Island was closed.

“Where is the Fourth-rank island closest to the God-down City?”

Yu Huashen snorted and asked. Only Fourth-rank islands had Teleportation Formations. Since the one at the God-down Island was closed, then he could only go there by way of nearby cities.

“Flames Island!”

A person said. Yu Huashen nodded. Again, the Teleportation Formation was activated and they were able to leave successfully this time.

“Uncle Yu, bring Lu Li back alive so I can vent my anger on him.”

When the Teleportation Formation was about to start, Du Ziling suddenly said to Yu Huashen. The latter nodded coldly. The Teleportation Formation let out glaring light as Yu Huashen and the other three disappeared.

…

There were many people on the Bai Emperor Mountain. Almost all the remaining powerful warriors of the Thousand-island Lake were gathered on the mountain.

A huge seven-colored shield covered up the Bai Emperor Mountain like a transparent bowl placed upside down. The radiance of the shield made the gloom on the warriors’ faces more prominent.

In the outdoor pavilion, Madam Yan, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were sitting quietly, waiting for the arrival of the war.

“Whoosh!”

From the distance came a man. Chief Steward Bai brought an old man of the Soul Pond Realm over with him. Chief Steward Bai went into the pavilion by himself and said, “Madam, Pei Family from the God-down City sent a word from Lu Li. Lu Li said—send Lady Qiuxue and Lady Xiashuang over. He can protect them.”

“Eh?”

Madam Yan’s eyes lit up. Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were stunned as well. Lu Li hadn’t run? He even sent over message saying that he would protect them?

“Did the Lu Family send people here?”

Madam Yan’s face was blushing in excitement. Apart from the Lu Family people being here, Madam Yan could not think of other means that Lu Li could rely on to keep the twins safe.

Her eyes flickered. She coldly said, “Send a word to Lu Li. Have him bring his men to the Bai Emperor Mountain. If he can help us out this time, I can be his maid.”

Chief Steward Bai left with the old man of the Soul Pond Realm. That person had some connections with the Pei Family so he knew how to send the information back to Pei An in some special way.

Madam Yan and the twins waited in anxiety in the pavilion. Madam Yan could not remain seated and she paced up and down.

An hour later, Chief Steward Bai came back but he was upset. He said, “Lu Li replied that he doesn’t have the ability to protect the Bai Emperor Mountain, only the twins.”

“Ah…”

The glare in Madam Yan’s eyes died down. She waved her hand and said, “Then go and tell Lu Li. The enemies are at the city gates. The mountain protection formation is activated, so nobody can get out now. Ask him to burn some offerings to us every year on this day.”
