Chapter 389: The Devil Is Back

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The Heaven Frigid City was quiet as Du Heng had been in closed-door cultivation. After he came back from the Heaven Prison City, he went directly into cultivation to prepare to reach the Human Sovereign Realm.

He had almost all the Mystic Materials ready. He didn't do it before because he felt uncertain. The Mystical Materials cost the Du Family quite a fortune. If he failed, he would have wasted the wealth the family accumulated over the years.

At the Heaven Prison City, Du Zheng turned back on him and took Lu Li's side. Du Heng had a sense of urgency.

He didn't know that Lu Li had left the Northern Desert. Du Zheng was convinced that sooner or later, Lu Li was going to unify the Northern Desert so he was ready to have a desperate try. If he could reach the Human Sovereign Realm, he could be the one that would unify the Northern Desert to make his own empire.

The Heaven Frigid City was sealed off as Du Heng was in closed-door cultivation. Anyone that dared to make a fuss in the city to anger the Du Family were killed immediately.

Du Heng was in closed-door cultivation for a long time. At first, he was desperate to reach the Human Sovereign Realm. After he learned that Lu Li had left, he continued to cultivate which was why the Heave Frigid City was not open yet.

"Buzzing~"

At the break of dawn, a huge Teleportation Formation in the plaza at the Heaven Frigid City glowed, which alarmed a number of people. The leader guarding the Teleportation Formation went to report to patriarchs of the Du Family at once. This Teleportation Formation was connected to the Clouds City of the Central Plains.

Someone from the Central Plains was here.

The Cloud City belonged to the Palace of Heavens. To teleport from the Cloud City would require 100 million Xuan Crystals. Nobody from the Central Plains would be teleported over if they had nothing to do at the Northern Desert. As far as people from the Central Plains saw it, the Northern Desert was the rural land, the deserted place.

Anyone coming to the Northern Desert must be important. Nobody thought of Lu Li. Among the big families, it was an established fact that Lu Li was Lu Renhuang's son. People at the Northern Desert believed that Lu Li must have gone back to the Lu Family and he wouldn't come back.

Several patriarchs of the Du Family came out. So did Du Ziling, the young master of the Du Family. They all stood by the Teleportation Formation with respect, waiting for the important man from the Central Plains to show up.

To teleport here from the Central Plains could take at least two hours. They waited in patience.

The Teleportation Formation had been glowing. After two hours, the light died down. Four people emerged in the Teleportation Formation.

"Well?"

Du Ziling found the four to be unfamiliar. He could not tell which realms they were at. Du Ziling soon bowed and said, "Greetings, my lords."

"Greetings, lords!"

The escorts in the city knelt down. The four people in the Teleportation Formation were of impressive bearing and their realms could not be detected. Everyone assumed the four must have come from an important family from the Central Plains.

The four walked out from the Teleportation Formation. The young man suddenly shouted, "Yu Huashen, destroy the Teleportation Formation."

Of course, the four were Lu Li and his gang. They were all wearing the Illusions Mask so Du Ziling could not tell.

Yu Huashen was stunned at the order. To build a Teleportation Formation was not easy and it was costly. To destroy the Teleportation Formation would be equal to destroying tens of billions of Xuan Crystals.

Under Lu Li's cold glance, Yu Huashen had no other choice but to strike at the Teleportation Formation with Xuan Energy. The Teleportation Formation collapsed.

Du Ziling was astonished. Who were they?

Why did they destroy the Teleportation Formation as soon as they arrived? Granted, the Teleportation Formation was not built by the Du Family but by another family a long time ago. Still, it was taboo to destroy a Teleportation Formation.

"Yu Huashen?"

Du Ziling recalled Lu Li's words. He started at Lu Li. Apart from the face, Du Ziling realized the figure and bearing suggested this young man was Lu Li indeed.

Lu Li noticed how he was being stared at. He grabbed the Illusions Mask from his face and smiled. He said, "Du Ziling, it has not been long. You don't know me?"

"Lu Li!"

Everyone's expressions changed as they were all alarmed. The devil Lu Li was back and he destroyed the Teleportation Formation at once. If Lu Li said he was here to visit, none of the Du Family members would buy that.

Du Ziling crushed a jade talisman as soon as possible. It was a warning jade talisman. Du Heng would be notified that something had happened.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"

Many powerful warriors flew out from the imperial city, most of them were at the Fate Wheel Realm and Eternal Realm, though. The Du Family was only a fifth-rank Family so they only had two warriors of the Noble Lord Realm, one being Du Heng and the other one the kingdom's counselor.

"What?"

An angry shout came from the palace, then two people flew out. The two were so powerful that civilians in the city felt suffocated. They were Du Heng who was in closed-door cultivation and the kingdom's counselor.

"Lu Li?"

On seeing Lu Li, Du Heng's expressions changed. He flew down with the kingdom's counselor, stood in front of Du Ziling, stared at Lu Li coldly and said, "Lu Li, what are you doing? Why did you destroy the Teleportation Formation?"

"Nothing!"

Lu Li shrugged his shoulder and said, "We only need one Teleportation Formation to connect with the Central Plains. I will destroy the other two."

"Hmm!" Du Zheng was fuming with anger. "You make the decisions? You really think that you are the emperor of the Northern Desert!"

"Yes!"

Lu Li smiled lightly. Looking at all the warriors, he shouted coldly, "From today on, I will be the emperor of the Northern Desert. Anyone who disobeys me will be killed. Du Heng, I only give you one chance. Either you bow to me, or you die!"

That was right. Lu Li was ready for fight as soon as he came back, and he chose the Du Family to be the first one to deal with.

Relying on lip service would not unify the Northern Desert for him. There must be people dying and bleeding. He had given the Du Family a choice. It all came down to how Du Heng chose it.

Du Family had two Noble Lord Realm warriors, one at the peak, and one at the middle stage. But Lu Li had three at the Noble Lord Realm and he had the Blood Claw skill. Yu Huashen and Ming Yu made sure that there were only two at the Noble Lord Realm in the city as soon as they got here. Naturally, there was nothing to be afraid of for Lu Li.

"What~"

The entire plaza was in a huge commotion. Many people of the Du Family were here, and many more from the affiliated families were here as on-lookers. They all wanted to see which big shot came from the Central Plains. Little did they expect that they were welcoming the devil Lu Li, which was not even the most shocking thing. The most shocking thing was that Lu Li said he wanted to unify the Northern Desert and declared war on the Du Family!

Du Heng had the urge to kill. Du Ziling and the others stepped back and the patriarchs of the Du Family were ready to release their Fate Wheels at any time.

Du Heng glanced at Yu Huashen, Ming Yu and Lu Feixue. He was thinking that Yu Huashen was at the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm, Ming Yu was at the initial stage, and Lu Feixue had just made the breakthrough. Lu Li's side had one more warrior of the Noble Lord Realm, but there was a very slim chance for them to win.

To begin the fight was easy. The problem was how to deal with the aftermath.

Lu Li seemed to have a good relationship with Du Zheng. Du Heng remembered Lu Li had more Noble Lord Realm warriors fighting for him at the Heaven Prison City. If he killed Lu Li, would he be in big trouble?

But if he chose not to fight!

Du Heng would have to surrender to Lu Li. The Heaven Frigid Kingdom would be no more. Du Family would only be the affiliated family of the Lu Family. Everything the Heaven Frigid Kingdom had would belong to Lu Li. After some time, the Du Family might be wiped out entirely.

"The emperor of the Northern Desert?"

Du Heng suddenly remembered those words. He snorted and said, "Lu Li, you are the disciple of the Lu Family of the Central Plains. The 12 Royal Cities of the Central Plains have a pact. The Central Plains will always stay out of the internal affairs of other places. Are you not afraid that the Royal Families will kill you?"

"Ha, ha, ha!"

Lu Li laughed out loud and said, "Where did you get that? I was born in the Di Long Tribe of the Wu Ling County of the Heaven Martial Kingdom. I grew up at the Northern Desert. I am a Northern Desert person, born and raised. I am surnamed Lu, but I have nothing to do with the Lu Family at the Central Plains. If I am from the Lu Family, why am I here? Du Heng, I don't have limitless patience. Just say the word. If you don't surrender, I will start killing now…"
