The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 351: I Cannot Search His Soul

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Loyal to the Family and Family Patriarch!

Patriarch Eight’s words spoke volumes. If Great Patriarch was loyal to Family Patriarch, then he must be on the friendly side of Lu Li.

In other words… there were some that were on the opposing side of Lu Li.

Lu Li remembered that three out of the nine Patriarchs had ill intentions towards him and three assumed neutral positions. Lu Li suddenly realized that he did the right thing by not telling them about Lu Renhuang.

Lu Li decided to take the bet after some thoughts. It appeared to him that Patriarch Eight was also loyal to his grandpa. Actually, to refuse wouldn’t do him any good. When the Great Patriarch was asked to come, Lu Li’s soul would be searched no matter how.

Therefore, Lu Li nodded. Patriarch Eight gave Little White back to Lu Li and threw a glace to Lu Fenhuang and the others. They started walking outside.

Walking up the stairs and out of the fortress, they flew up. Patriarch Eight took Lu Li to a small lake in the middle of the Mystic Armor Mountain.

They didn’t fly up high. Lu Li could see many buildings and fortresses along the way. He saw many warriors of the Lu Family and many young masters and young ladies in glorious robes.

“Who is that?”

“Why are the nine Patriarchs here together? Is something wrong? Who is that young man with Patriarch Eight?”

People were engaged in discussion. The Mystic Armor City had been sealed off for ten years now without any significant matters going on. Apart from offering sacrifices to ancestors, there rarely was any occasion when the nine patriarch would act together. Now that they did, it got a lot of attention.

They were flying very fast and they arrived at the lake quickly. Lu Li saw there was a white fortress in the middle of the lake and it seemed to be floating on the water.

They flew to a small square in front of the fortress. Lu Li took a careful look after he landed. He exclaimed how marvelous it was when he confirmed that the fortress really was floating on water. The fortress must be a piece of treasure itself.

The doors were closed. Lu Fenghuo walked to the doors, cupped his fists and said, “Fifth Great Uncle, I am asking for a meeting with you. We have important matters.”

The others waited in silence after Lu Fenghuo finished his words. Lu Li stood behind them with respect. Lu Li was wondering which realm this Great Patriarch was at. He must be of a higher Realm than the nine Patriarchs that were at the Human Sovereign Realm.

He had the question for some time. Sixth-rank forces had at least three warriors of the Noble Lord Realm, and seventh-rank forces would have at least three warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm. Then what kind of warriors should an eighth-rank family have? There were higher realms than the Human Sovereign Realm?

He forgot to ask about that when he was with Han Wuxin and Mo Ye. Now, Lu Li could not ask so he waited quietly.

“Creak, creak~”

After the time for one incense stick to burn, the doors were slowly opened. There came a small old man. Lu Li was shocked to find that the white hair of this old man hung down on his shoulders. His hair was so long that it touched the ground. What was more surprising was that his white eyebrows were touching the ground as well.

The old man wore black robes, which made his white hair and eyebrows stand out more. It was such a peculiar appearance, very impressive. The man’s face was rosy in color, like a young man. He was a healthy man in old age.

“Fifth Great Uncle!”

Lu Fenghuo, Lu Liantian, Patriarch Four and Patriarch Five bowed and said. The other patriarchs bowed and said, “Great Patriarch!”

Great Patriarch nodded slightly. He soon looked to Lu Li. Lu Li felt a bit embarrassed as he didn’t know what to call him. He made a decision and said, “Greetings, Great Patriarch!”

“Fifth Great Uncle…”

Lu Fenghuo pointed to Lu Li and was about to say something when Great Patriarch waved his hand. A ray of dim light shot out from his eyes. Lu Li had just straightened his back and he was looking at Great Patriarch.

At that moment, Lu Li felt the world had vanished. The only thing left were those eyes. He saw another world in his eyes, the void and stars…

Lu Li seemed to be losing himself. He was shocked by Great Patriarch. The others all knew that Great Patriarch had started soul searching. They all held their breaths, waiting for the result.

Lu Li’s soul was sucked into that world of stars. He felt like he was a rootless duckweed, floating in the space, the endless space.

Lu Li did not now that a strand of power with no color or shape had gone through his eyes and now had entered his mind, surging towards his Soul Pond.

This Great Patriarch was skilled at soul cultivation. He could search souls of warriors of the Eternal Realm or the Noble Lord Realm, let alone Lu Li who was only at the Soul Pond Realm. He could search souls without the receiving party even realizing it.

That shapeless and colorless strand of energy entered Lu Li’s mind and moved towards his Soul Pond. As soon as it reached the Soul Pond, Lu Li’s memories could be searched. That demon did the same thing and stole the Apparition Skill from Lu Li’s soul.

However—

Something went wrong this time. Right when that strand of energy was about to enter Lu Li’s Soul Pond, the silver dragon mark glowed. Then it moved around Lu Li’s Soul Pond quickly and it… expelled Great Patriarch’s power.

“Eh?”

Great Patriarch appeared to be taken by surprise. He squinted. Lu Fenghuo and the others noticed this. They were looking at each other, feeling stunned.

How could Lu Li, a warrior of the Soul Pond Realm, shock Great Patriarch? What was going on?

Great Patriarch said nothing. With a glare in his eyes, he strengthened the power to enter Lu Li’s Soul Pond. This time, there were 10 strands!

The 10 strands would be enough to destroy the Soul Pond of a warrior of the Noble Lord Realm. Great Patriarch didn’t do it rashly. He divided the powers up and let them enter Lu Li’s Soul Ponds from different directions.

However… it made Great Patriarch more astonished!

That silver dragon mark seemed to have some sort of magical power. Every strand of power Great Patriarch sent in were expelled by the silver dragon mark.

“Hmm!”

Great Patriarch seemed to be angry. He forced the 10 strands of power into Lu Li’s Soul Pond. With a “boom” in his Soul Pond, Lu Li collapsed to the ground and passed out.

What made Great Patriarch speechless was that his power was expelled again. He stopped, sighed and said, “I cannot search his soul. There is a piece of treasure in his Soul Pond. If I force it, his soul will be shattered.”

“Um…”

Everyone was shocked. The powerful warrior that ranked No. 13 on the warlord list of the Central Plains and that was skilled in cultivation of soul could not search the soul of a warrior of the Soul Pond Realm?

Ridiculous.

If this story spread out, Lu Li’s fame would be increased instantly at the Central Plains and he would be known to many people.

What was that in Lu Li’s Soul Pond? What was it that could be so powerful as to defend against Great Patriarch’s search? Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian had the urge to cut open Lu Li’s head and see what it was.

Great Patriarch said after some time, “Tell me what is going on.”

Patriarch Eight told him everything after some thoughts, every detail. Great Patriarch waved his hand after he heard the story without even thinking about it and said, “There is no more doubt. He must be a disciple of the Lu Family since he can absorb the blood essence in the Blood Pond of God. Bring him down and let him rest. His soul is injured a bit. Bring him to me when he is fully recovered.”

Patriarch Eight, Patriarch Four and Patriarch Five looked at each other, excited. It was completely certain that Lu Li was Lu Renhuang’s son if Great Patriarch said so.
