“She killed someone?”

Lu Li would not worry if it were some ordinary matter. However, attention was due when people’s lives were at risk. Ye Luo was his buddy and Lu Hongyu’s husband. Ye Family’s warriors had fought battles throughout the length and breadth of the land with Lu Li for years. He could not let the Ye Family be disappointed.

“I need someone here!”

Lu Li stood up and shouted. From outside the yard dashed in a man. He dropped to one knee and said, “Yes, Young Master Li!”

Lu Li waved his hand and gave his command, emotionlessly, “Go and get Ye Cha for me.”

Jiang Qiling stood up as well. With determination, she said, “Darling, I will leave you to it. I will no longer worry about this matter. If Jiang Wuwo has done terrible wrongs, just punish him. Don’t concern about my feelings. In this Jiang Family, apart from my grandpa, I care about nobody else.”

Lu Li stroke her face. “Go and cultivate. I know what to do.”

Jiang Qiling forced a smile, but the weight had been lifted up from her mind. She turned around and left.

She and Jiang Wuwo never shared a close bond. In her younger days, she even desired his death. She was feeling awkward because she did not know how to break this news to Lu Li. Now that she had said it, she felt relieved. Lu Li had always been a sensible man. He would deal with the matter in a reasonable way.

“Whoosh~”

In the time for three incense stick to burn, a man dashed in and hopped to the patio. He bowed to Lu Li. “Saint Lord!”

Since the Cyan Phoenix Race and Mammoth Race had already taken their ancestral land back. Their people were relocated to their ancestral lands but lately, many went to the Prison of Wood as well.

Per Lu Li’s request, Ye Cha had always been in charge of intelligence work and monitor the entire Great Land. The Cyan Phoenix Race boasted the best scouts of the Great Land.

Over the years, Ye Cha had been making progress, but he was only at the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm. He was advanced in age. It was unlikely that he could make a great breakthrough.

“What is going on between Jiang Wuwo and Zi Lian? Why didn’t you tell me when it happened?” Lu Li glared at Ye Cha, blaming him for not reporting such a grave matter.

“Saint Lord, I am sorry!”

Ye Cha bowed again. “You were cultivating yesterday and could not meet me. I had to report to Madam Ling. She said she would tell me and told me to leave it.”

Lu Li nodded. Ye Cha went on, “It is not a major issue, actually. Zi Lian and Jiang Wuwo kept their relationship a secret previously. Lately, Zi Lian spotted a nice location for cultivation in the Prison of Wood and wanted to build a manor there. But… a Ye Family young master found that location first. Zi Lian wanted to take it by force. The Ye Family young master was unwilling to let go and conflicts broke out. Zi Lian killed him. Later on, Ye Family wanted to hold Zi Lian accountable. Jiang Wuwo came to say that Zi Lian was his woman and that he would have to declare war against the Ye Family if they insisted on going after Zi Lian.”

Lu Li frowned. He did not remember Zi Lian to be just a bossy person. Had her personality changed because of him?

“Saint Lord!”

Ye Cha warned Lu Li. “I think you’d better go to the Prison of Wood. It is said that you and Zi Lian have something in the past and Jiang Wuwo is your father-in-law. Lu Family Patriarch is in a difficult position in all this. He tried to calm everyone down, but that deceased young master of the Ye Family was Ye Luo’s cousin. Ye Luo’s uncle had this one son. I think future trouble lurks.”

“Sure.”

Lu Li went to have a chat with Jiang Qiling who was unwilling to witness such an embarrassing scene. She told Lu Li to go without her.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Li waved his hand and left with Ye Cha. Outside the valley was a big city, surrounded by other cities. In this bigger city, Ke Mang had built a Teleportation Formation that could lead to the towering mountain.

“Grand Master!”

Warriors from the Demon-slaying Hall were guarding the Teleportation Formation. They knelt to Lu Li. Many residents in the city had spotted Lu Li. They were disciples from the affiliated families of the four forces, such as Palace of Blue Lions, Red Lunar, Palace of Immortal’s Inquires and Palace of Heaven’s Roars and others.

Many people wished they could greet Lu Li to get acquainted. However, given Lu Li’s current status, nobody could come and disturb him for nothing.

Lu Li did not pay attention to anyone. He and Ye Cha stepped into the Teleportation Formation and arrived at the mountain where a small city was built. At the entrance was a grand formation. Many warriors were on guard here. Not anyone could have access.

“Grand Master!”

Those guarding the entrance were all from Demon-slaying Hall, which was arranged by Patriarch of Law Enforcement. In this way, the disciples of the various families would have to behave. After all, the families all had their shares of playboys, but none of them would misbehave when warriors of Demon-slaying Hall were on guard.

Lu Li went to the Prison of Wood via the towering mountain. Outside the exit was a small city. He did not go there. Instead, he asked, “Where are they now?”

“Master Jiang and Lady Zi Lian should be back at the Qiling City.” Ye Cha answered. “Ye Family is at the Ye City. The two cities are not far away from each other. There are several big cities in the Prison of Wood and the four families each owns one.”

It had been some time since Lu Li visited the Prison of Wood. He had no idea what it was like now. He waved his hand and said, “Show me the way. Let’s go to Ye City first.”

After all, the Ye Family had lost a member. Lu Li had to send his condolences to the Ye Family. He was not far from Ye City and Ye Cha flew over with Lu Li since they didn’t bother to go to the small cities for teleportation.

The Prison of Wood was filled with forests which housed some goblins. However, the Beasts of Primordial Chaos were all dealt with. Lu Li and Ye Cha enjoyed a smooth flight. Even though the Beasts of Primordial Chaos and goblins were killed, the view was not ruined. They did see many beautiful scenic spots along the way.

An hour later, a city appeared on the horizon. It was a city built on top of a mountain. The four sides of the mountain were smooth as mirrors and the entire mountain was like a huge stone column. The city on top of the mountain looked quite majestic.

At the foot of the mountain was a stone staircase meandering to the top, a convenient way for a civilian to come and go. But at the moment, the Prison of Wood had not gained complete peace. The weak warriors and civilians would not leave their city randomly.

There were warriors patrolling around. Seeing two people coming, they flew up. They became more alert because of the two. When they recognized that it was Lu Li, the warriors dropped to their knees to give a salute to Lu Li.

“Is Ye Luo in the city?”

Lu Li asked. A leader of the Noble Lord Realm replied, “Previously, Young Master Luo has been cultivating in the city. Today, he stopped and went to the Cherry Blossom Valley. Young Master Li…”

The leader swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue. He seemed to be grieving and angry. Lu Li knew very well what he wished to speak of. He did not say anything except for asking Ye Cha, “Where is the Cherry Blossom Valley?”

“Cherry Blossom Valley is the one that Lady Lian likes.” Ye Cha explained in a low voice. “It is located between the Ye City and Qiling City. I think another conflict has broken out… since Young Master Ye Luo is there.”

“Show me the way. Let’s go!”

Lu Li pulled a long face. He grabbed that Ye Family leader and flew on. They were about to face a formidable foe, and they had time for internal strife? What a mess!
