The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 319: New View of Jiang Qiling

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li finally understood why Jiang Hao would leave Jiang Qiling behind. He was not worried because she had such a horrifying Bloodline Skill that the Gargoyle Rats could not hurt her.

Eighth-rank Bloodline!

Lu Li was burning with envy. If the animal tooth pendant hadn’t meddled, he could have the King Kong Bloodline now. Once he released the Mystic Armor Skill, none of the Gargoyle Rats could hurt him, either.

Of course, it was pointless to think of this now. The Silver Dragon Bloodline was not too shabby and he had two Bloodline Skills now.

Ming Yu had taken Jiang Qiling to the outside of the valley. When she released her skill, it would be difficult for her to move about. Also, with a warrior of the Noble Lord Realm with her, she would be safer.

Jiang Qiling saw another seven or eight Gargoyle Rats outside of the valley and several warriors of the Pavilion of Delicacy were poisoned. They were now attacking each other.

Jiang Qiling did not have a soft heart. She controlled all the Gargoyle Rats with her Soulfeast Butterflies and killed all the poisoned insane warriors of the Pavilion of Delicacy with throwing knives.

Jiang Qiling was a merciless killer. Her expressions never changed when she killed the warriors as if they were merely some animals. Ming Yu exclaimed to himself that this woman was so freaky that she was even merciless when she killed people on her side.

In the time for merely one incense stick to burn, Jiang Qiling had taken control of the situation. The eighth-rank Bloodline was marvelous, and Jiang Qiling was heartless. All the Gargoyle Rats succumbed to cannibalism.

“Send someone out to burn all the Gargoyle Rats and burn the bodies as well. Don’t let the toxins spread out.”

Jiang Qiling said lightly and then went back into the valley on her own. Ming Yu followed her back.

Maybe it was because she had used her Bloodline Skill for too long a time, or she had just killed men on her side, Jiang Qiling looked seedy. She went back into her own tent with two maids as soon as she came back.

“All those poisoned were killed by her…”

Ming Yu whispered to Lu Li. Lu Li curled his lips. He had completely renewed his views on Jiang Qiling. He would also kill those poisoned because they were beyond rescue and they would hurt other people.

But the fact that Jiang Qiling could remain so calm was something that average ladies could not achieve. A young lady from a Royal Family was really outstanding.

Some warriors of the Pavilion of Delicacy started to deal with the aftermath. The valley went back to safety for now. Jiang Hao hadn’t come back yet, so they couldn’t go anywhere for now.

Dead Gargoyle Rats and warriors killed by Jiang Qiling were brought away to be burnt. The valley restored its peace.

After the time for three incense sticks to burn, Jiang Hao and others came back. Jiang Hao was comforted, not nervous, to find out that there was a fight which Jiang Qiling took part in.

Jiang Qiling saving people showed that she was still a kind person. She had done many insane things over the years and many things that upset her family members. But… she was not completely gone yet. There was still a chance she could be saved.

Jiang Hao gave some orders to strengthen the defense and let some warriors to keep a sharp lookout. He went into Jiang Qiling’s tent to check on her and then walked over to Lu Li’s tent.

Ming Yu was guarding outside. Jiang Hao said to him with a smile, “I want to have a word with Young Master Lu.”

Lu Li heard the voice. He came out to greet Jiang Hao. There were only a couple of cushions in the tent. Lu Li shrugged his shoulder and said, “Commander-in-Chief, it is quite shabby in here, please pardon me.”

Jiang Hao replied with a gentle smile and then he sat on his heels on the cushion. Lu Li sat opposite of him and asked, “Commander-in-Chief, what can I do for you?”

Jiang Hao said with a warm smile, “I am here to thank you, Young Master Lu.”

Lu Li was surprised. He waved his hand and said, “That is not necessary, Commander-in-Chief. I didn’t do anything. Jiang Qiling was the one that took care of the Gargoyle Rats earlier.”

“This is not what I am talking about.”

Jiang Hao sighed and said, “I want to thank you for talking some sense into Qiling. I can see that she is changed during this time. She cannot move on completely, but she is better now. I am already very surprised that she could make a move to control the Gargoyle Rats.”

Lu Li didn’t say anything for a while. Then he answered, “I can tell that Lady Qiling was a very nice girl. If she can move on, then it will be great. But… whether she can or not depends on her own. We cannot do anything.”

Jiang Hao nodded in agreement. Then he looked at Lu Li and asked, “Young Master Lu, do you know Qiling’s identity and what happened to her?”

Lu Li didn’t lie. He said frankly, “She has told me her identity and I have a theory about what had happened to her. Please relax, I have no romantic ideas about your granddaughter and I am not playing hard to get.”

“Well?”

Jiang Hao did not see this coming. Lu Li was not interested in such a beautiful girl who happened to be a genius and the daughter of the Master of the Pavilion of Delicacy? He also stated it so openly?

Jiang Hao thought of the two Noble Lord Realm warriors with Lu Li. He squinted and asked, “With all due respect, who is your father, Young Master Lu?”

The Pavilion of Delicacy did look into Lu Li and they knew what happened at the Dan City and the Wicked Sorcery Mountain but not Lu Li’s identity.

Of course, Lu Li would not tell him. He sincerely answered, “I am sorry but I don’t want to tell you. Please don’t look into that, Commander-in-Chief. I promise you that I have no romantic feelings to Lady Qi and I will not hurt her. I may leave soon.”

Lu Li’s words were honest and sincere. He had the mask on, but his eyes were calm which showed his mind was in peace as well.

Jiang Hao stroke his long beard. He said after a while, “Young Master Lu, you are a smart guy. Qiling’s identity is special. I don’t mind it very much, but her father and some patriarchs pay much attention to this. So… I hope you can understand.”

“I understand!” Lu Li nodded. He didn’t see Jiang Hao out. He didn’t even want to live off Jiang Qiling, not to mention Jiang Hao.

Lu Li really had no romantic thoughts of Jiang Qiling. He practically disliked her. After learning her stories, Lu Li just regarded her as a poor lady. He had no thoughts other than that.

His mind settled as still water. Soon, he started to consume more Soul Crystals in closed-door cultivation. The cultivation of Soul Pond was no easy matter. Lu Li had consumed hundreds of Soul Crystals, but his Soul Pond didn’t have any obvious change. It could be imagined how many materials would be needed to reach the peak of the Soul Pond Realm.

There were two ways to cultivate Soul Pond. The first one relied on using cultivation method which would be very slow. It could take up to more than a decade or dozens of years, depending on how powerful the method was.

The second one was to use Mystical Materials to strengthen the soul.

How come disciples of big families could cultivate so quickly? They could get all the Mystical Materials they wanted. That was why, as long as the disciples were talented and diligent, their families would provide them with materials to help them achieve breakthroughs constantly.

Lu Li had no Mystical Materials before. Since he had such a good luck to get so many Soul Crystals, he wouldn’t let them go to waste.

One Soul Crystal was worth a million Xuan Crystals.

Lu Li had consumed hundreds of Soul Crystals. In other words, Lu Li had used materials amounting to hundreds of millions of Xuan Crystals.

As a matter of fact, usually, Soul Crystals were not consumed in such a way. There would be other secret skills employed at the same time and other kinds of Mystical Materials which would accelerate the process and reduce the number of Soul Crystals used. Lu Li was practically wasting the Soul Crystals.

Lu Li had no other kinds of Mystical Materials and he didn’t know any secret skills. He didn’t care about those. When he got to the Lu Family, he could have all the Mystical Materials he wanted as well, so he didn’t mind wasting some now.

“The Lu Family…”

Lu Li’s lips puckered up. Lu Family, one of the 12 Royal Families, what would it be like? How powerful the Lu Family was on earth?
