Chapter 337: Intercepting

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

A whole day and night!

Lu Li threw up many times along the way. There was no food in his stomach because he only drank some water so he was actually just kecking.

Lu Li was exhausted after so many days went by with no rest or sleep. However, the moment that he learned he had set foot into a city at the eastern part of Central Plains, he was cheered up and his spirit was revived.

The day had just arrived. The city was waking up. People were hurrying to and fro and the city was livelier now. It was a Prefectural City called the Mountain City and it was under the control of a fifth-rank Family, the He Family.

The He Family was affiliated with the Palace of Aries, a sixth-rank force affiliated to a seventh-rank force named the Palace of Blue Lions, one of the three seventh-rank forces under the control of the Lu Family.

In other words, He Family was under the control of a force under the Lu Family. Lu Li had now come back to his own territory. His father was Lu Renhuang, a Human Sovereign Realm warrior of the Lu Family who must have a high position. Lu Li was safe now.

"Let's take a rest first."

Lu Li was in no mood to hear the introductions about the He Family and other nearby forces. He sighed and said.

Ming Yu helped him into a tavern to have some rest. After he recovering a bit, Lu Li turned to Han Wuxin and said, "Lord Wuxin, please go and look for the master of the Prefectural City and tell him who I am and ask him to come to meet me."

Lu Li didn't want to continue the teleportation now. To go on like this would require more Xuan Crystals since there was still a long way before they could arrive at the Mystic Armor Region.

Lu Li was safe now that he was on the territory of the Lu Family. He could make his identity public now. After that, he assumed nobody would dare to take his Xuan Crystals. He could ask more powerful warriors to come over, relying on his identity as a disciple of the Lu Family, which would make it even safer for them.

Han Wuxin understood what Lu Li was trying to do. His smile was blossoming. Lu Li had the confidence to ask some master of a city to come over the minute he was here. It meant that… he really was a disciple of the Lu Family. Han Wuxin had chosen the right side.

Han Wuxin took Han Wuqing to go with him to meet the master of the city while others rested in the tavern. The city was controlled by a fifth-rank family, but the Han Family was a sixth-rank one. Even if it was not for the matter of Lu Li, Han Wuxin could go and meet the master of the city easily.

Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were getting excited. They could benefit enormously from Lu Li returning to the Lu Family which was one of the most powerful 12 Royal Families of the Central Plains.

Lu Li fell asleep after he sat for a while. He had slept for only an hour before Han Wuxin and Han Wuqing came back with an old warrior at the initial stage of the Noble Lord Realm, He Yuan, and the Family Patriarch of the He Family.

He Yuan seemed to be quite advanced in ages but he had a good spirit. Lu Li sat up. He Yuan looked at Lu Li, cupped his fists and said, "Young Master… I hear that you are a disciple of the Lu Family? Who is your father?"

Yu Huashen wanted to say the name directly but he swallowed his words down at the glare of Lu Li. Lu Li said in a cold voice, "You are not nearly qualified enough to know the name of my father. Teleport to the Palace of Aries right now and tell their master to come and see me."

He Yuan was only at the initial stage of the Noble Lord Realm so there was not much he could do. Palace of Aries, on the other hand, was a sixth-rank force with more Noble Lord Realm warriors. Their master might be at the Human Sovereign Realm. With that level of protection, Lu Li would enjoy a smooth journey.

He Yuan frowned. How arrogant Lu Li was. Average disciples of the Lu Family could not be so arrogant, could they?

That being said, he dared not to offend Lu Li so quickly. He cupped his fists and asked again, "Can you present your ID token or release your Bloodline Skill? I am of no importance so I am afraid that I don't have the authority to ask Master of Palace of Aries to come over."

It would have been nice if Lu Li had the ID tokens. If he could release the Mystic Armor Skill, he would have done it without speaking any nonsense. Only disciples of the Lu Family could release the Mystic Armor Skill in the world.

No token, no Mystic Armor Skill but Lu Li was not at all scared. He said in a cold voice, "I have told you what to do so go and do it. If the Master of the Palace of Aries is here and I cannot prove that I am a disciple of the Lu Family, just ask him to kill me. Send my words—my name is Lu Li and my father is a Human Sovereign Realm warrior. If he refuses to come, he shall suffer the consequences!"

"Human Sovereign Realm warrior?"

He Yuan frowned. There were many Human Sovereign Realm warriors but how come he had never heard of a patriarch that had a son named Lu Li?

Lu Li was only at the Soul Pond Realm. How was that possible? How could a 16 or 17 year-old disciple of the Lu Family be only at this Realm?

The Lu Family had been sealed off for 10 years now and no disciple was allowed out. Where did this disciple of the Lu Family come from?

"Alright, please wait here, Young Master. I will go to the Aries City now and I will be back in half a day!"

He Yuan was only a Family Patriarch of some fifth-rank family, but Lu Li was here with five Noble Lord Realm warriors. What could He Yuan say? What could he be suspicious of?

He made up his mind and left. He planned to go over to the Palace of Aries in person and send the message. After all, as long as the Master of the Palace of Aries was here, everything would be clear.

...

Lu Li and others were resting in the tavern. Han Wuxin decided not to continue to teleport as well. He had spent so many Xuan Crystals now. Since Lu Li had called someone to come over, Han Wuxin didn't want to make pointless expenses anymore.

Lu Li fell soundly asleep again after he ate something. He was so tired the past few days. He was relieved to get to the territory of the Lu Family so he wanted to sleep to his heart's content and worry about the other things after the Master of Palace of Aries was here.

It was late in the morning.

A Teleportation Formation lit up. Yu Huashen saw from the window that there was a glare in the plaza. He nodded to himself, thinking that He Yuan was quick to be able to come back in a couple of hours with warriors from the Palace of Aries.

The glared died down and eight powerful warriors appeared in the Teleportation Formation. Han Yuxin, Yu Huashen and the others were shocked to see who they were.

There was no He Yuan among them. All the eight warriors had put on the Illusions Masks but Yu Huashen could tell that He Yuan was not among them.

"Bang!"

After the eight warriors appeared in the Teleportation Formation, some of them released several streaks of Xuan Energy that smashed the Teleportation Formation. Then they scanned the city with psychic power. Soon, a warrior spotted Han Wuxin and the others in the tavern.

"Song He, Song Fu!"

Han Yuxin looked scared. He quickly thought and yelled to Yu Huashen and Ming Yu, "Bring your Young Master with you and run. The Song Family people are mad! They have the audacity to be here and intercept you!"

"Swish, swish~"

Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were pale from the shock. Without any hesitation, Ming Yu grabbed onto Lu Li with one hand and released his Bead of Life. Together with Yu Huashen, they broke the window and flew out towards the east.

"Move, stop them!"

Han Yuxin, Han Wuqing and another patriarch looked at each other and said. The Song Family had destroyed the Teleportation Formations to make them an easy prey. If Han Wuxin didn't go and stop the Song Family warriors, then Yu Huashen, Ming Yu and Lu Li could not get away.

It was also due to the Song Family people destroying the Teleportation Formations that made Han Wuxin determined to fight.

He Yuan had gone to the Palace of Aries. As soon as the Teleportation Formation was destroyed, the Palace of Aries would be informed. The Master of the Palace of Aries would come over as soon as possible in case Lu Li died.

Therefore...

Han Wuxin, Han Wuqing and another patriarch just had to stall the Song Family people for some time. After the Master of the Palace of Aries was here, none of the eight people of the Song Family would live, but the Han Family could secure Lu Li's friendship.

Han Wuxin made a decision to make a bet again. If he lost… then he and his two patriarchs would be killed at the Mountain City.

"Charge—"

The eight powerful warriors of the Song Family spotted Han Wuxin and Lu Li. One elder waved his hand and four warriors moved towards Han Wuxin and the other four chased after Lu Li.
