Chapter 358: Are All the Men of the Lu Family Dead?

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The Omen Island!

Many patriarchs were startled by the proposal. Many disciples of the Lu Family standing outside the Hall of Patriarchs appeared to be in fear.

The Omen Island was a dangerous place at the eastern Central Plains. It was the place for the convicted of the Lu Family to go. Only one out of 10 could walk out from the Omen Island, and that one person would have lost his or her mind…

Exiling for 100 years!

That was basically sentencing Lu Li to death.

The patriarchs didn’t say anything. After a while, Lu Liantian said in agreement, "If Lu Li really is Lu Renhuang’s son, then he cannot be forgiven on account of how cruel he is, trying to kill his own uncle-in-law. If Lu Li is not Lu Renhuang’s son, then this alone is enough to send him to the Omen Island for 100 years. I second the advice."

Patriarch Eight threw Lu Li a glance, regretting that Lu Li could not live up to his expectations. He said, "Lu Li, do you have anything else to say?"

Lu Li had been acting like a mature person till today. Clearly, Lu Li had gone through something today that lead to him acting out of the ordinary. They must figure out the root cause before they could sentence Lu Li.

Lu Li was again taken down by the warrior. Half of his face was covered in blood. He was forced to kneel on the ground. He raised his head upon hearing Patriarch Eight’s words. He saw Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian through the hole on the wall. Lu Li grinned again and said, "Second Patriarch, Third Patriarch, I think you are my uncles if I am right. Why are so you eager to see your nephew die? Why are you helping this bastard instead of helping one of your own family? Are you not afraid that disciples of the Lu Family would lose their trust?"

Before Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian could say anything, Lu Li turned to Patriarch Eight and said, "Patriarch Eight, what do you want me to say? Why I wanted to kill Qiu Wenze? Do you think I am like a crazy dog that I will just go around and bite people?

"If it were not for the fact that you patriarchs didn’t do anything, why would I, a warrior at the Soul Pond Realm, behave like this? My aunt is covered in wounds because of this bastard and he tortured her. Can you honestly say that you know nothing? A lady of the Lu Family is bullied by another person of another family. Are all the men in the Lu Family dead?"

"My grandpa is in closed-door cultivation? My father is away. So, none of you is showing care to my aunt? Okay, if so, I will defend her. As long as I can survive, I will definitely kill Qiu Wenze."

Lu Li’s sonorous words set people thinking.

Lu Li’s face was still dripping blood. His silver eyes were locked on Qiu Wenze. Lu Li was like a beast in shackles, trying to break free to kill his enemy.

The warriors went silent. They reduced their force in their hands holding Lu Li down. Nearby disciples of the Lu Family went silent as well. Many of them were glaring at Qiu Wenze. The patriarchs said nothing. Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian tried to say something, but they forced their words down. Compete silence. It was so quiet that the sound of a needle hitting the ground could be heard.

"Are all the men of the Lu Family dead?"

Lu Li’s sharp words hurt everyone. Many patriarchs felt their faces burning. As one of the 12 Royal Families, the Lu Family had pride. The Lu Family was one of the families at the top of the Central Plains. The daughter of the Family Patriarch was bullied by an outsider, and she needed to be defended by a young man that had just returned to the Lu Family. How were the patriarchs feeling then?

There were many young masters and young ladies standing outside of the Hall of Patriarchs. They were clenching their fists in anger. The Lu Family might have been sealed off for 10 years, but the courage of Lu Family disciples were not sealed off.

Many young masters emitted killing intent. They all glared at Qiu Wenze.

Lu Li’s words had woken up the courage in them. They were telling Lu Li in a silent way that there were men living at the Lu Family and that the men at the Lu Family were still courageous and heroic.

Qiu Wenze had been shouting in pain. He was treated by a patriarch, but he still could not endure the pain. He suddenly sensed there was something wrong with the atmosphere. He lowered his voice. He became fearful when he detected the killing intent in many disciples of the Lu Family and many of the escort warriors.

He said in a hurry, "B*llshit, nonsense. Why would I bully Feixue? I didn’t. There must be some mistakes. I was drunk last night… I, I don’t remember a thing."

"Eh?"

Qiu Wenze was in a panic. His words of "drunk" made the killing intent in many warriors stronger. Idiotic as Qiu Wenze was, he had basically admitted that he had tortured Lu Feixue.

Seeing that it was going the wrong way, Lu Fenghuo waved his hand and said, "Alright, Lu Li, you are the one in the wrong no matter how. The fight between Qiu Wenze and Lu Feixue is their domestic matter. You shouldn’t have hurt Qiu Wenze even if you worry about your aunt and you tried to kill him twice right in front of us no less. What will be the use of the Lu Family rules if we don’t punish you? Where will be the authority of the Hall of Patriarchs?"

Lu Fenghuo’s words sent the place into silence again. None of the patriarchs seconded him. None of them said anything in disagreement, either. There were already more than 1000 people outside. They all lowered their heads and stood in silence.

Lu Liantian clearly was on the same side as Lu Fenghuo. Detecting the awkwardness, he added, "If so, let’s take a vote. What do you think, patriarchs?"

Patriarch Ten Lu Tianhe was also on the same side as Second Patriarch and Third Patriarch. He bit his teeth and said, "I agree."

Three out of the nine Patriarchs seconded the advice of exiling Lu Li. If two more patriarchs seconded the offer, Lu Li would be sent to the Omen Island for sure. Once the Hall of Patriarchs made a decision, there was no turning back.

A young man about the same age with Lu Li suddenly made up his mind. He dropped to one knee and shouted, "Lu Li has just come back to the family. He is not familiar with our family rules. Please show mercy!"

The man was in a beautiful robe with dignified manners. He was young, but he had reached the peak of Eternal Realm. Clearly, he was one of the young master with high status at the Lu Family.

His shout encouraged many young masters who all dropped to one knee and shouted, "Please show mercy!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Many more knelt down. Even some young ladies were on their knees as well and they shouted along with the young masters. The young ladies knew that Lu Li was trying to defend another lady at the Lu Family. If they didn’t show support, who would defend them in the future if they were bullied?

There were more than 1000 people standing outside, among which half were young disciples. Half of the young disciples were on their knees shouting emotionally.

Lu Fenghuo was enraged. He stared at the young master at the forefront and scolded him, "Lu Lin, what do you think you are doing? Get lost."

The young master in the beautiful robe raised his head, stubbornly looked into the eyes of Lu Fenghuo and said, "Second Uncle, the men in the Lu Family… still are living. If you want to convict Lu Li, then I will accept the same punishment!"

Lu Lin’s words made the other young masters more emotional. They all shouted, "We are willing to accept the same punishment as Lu Li!"

"How dare you? Take them all down!"

Lu Fenghuo was fuming with anger. He looked to the escort warriors, but none of them moved. A leader made up his mind. He knelt down and said, "We beg the Hall of Patriarchs to forgive Lu Li!"

"We beg the Hall of Patriarchs to forgive Lu Li!"

More escort warriors knelt with the leader.

"…"

None of the patriarchs knew how to react. They were stunned. They could not utter one word. The situation was getting out of control…

All the warriors that were holding down Lu Li knelt. Lu Li was free. He turned back and looked at those on their knees. There were so many of them. He grinned. This was what the Lu Family would be like in his head. This was the Lu Family qualified as one of the 12 Royal Families. Lu Family didn’t only need to rely on the King Kong Bloodline to stand at the top of the Central Plains.

"Whoosh~"

With a slight noise, an old man in black robes and white hair and eyebrows appeared from nowhere and stood in the yard of Hall of Patriarchs. His hair and eyebrows touched the ground. His eyes were deep as if there was another world in there.

"Fifth Great Uncle!"

Lu Fenghuo bowed at once. The other patriarchs bowed and said, "Great Patriarch."

When they saw the old man, all the other people outside all knelt and shouted, "Greetings, Great Patriarch."

Finally, the Great Patriarch came.
