: Offense is the Best Defense
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Madam Yan said to Bai Xi after some thoughts,
Uncle Xi, I will go myself. You stay here and take control of the situation.


Okay!

Bai Xi nodded. Madam Yan was a woman of intelligence and cruel means. She could manage all situations so he was okay to let her go.
Bai Qiuxue said,
Auntie, I want to go with you. Trust me, I will behave.

Bai Xiashuang hurriedly added,
I want to go as well.


Nonsense!

Madam Yan looked at them coldly. Bai Qiuxue turned over to Bai Xi, begging with her eyes full of pity. Bai Xi waved his hand and said,
Bring them to experience the world. It will be fine as long as you stay at the Thousand-island Lake. Our Family Patriarch has come out of his closed-door cultivation.


Alright!

Since Bai Xi made the decision, Madam Yan couldn’t refuse. She walked out to have the message sent to Bai Leng.

Whoosh!

Soon, Bai Leng flew out with four Eternal Realm warriors. The mission for the Hall of Combat was to fight so they were ready to engage at any time.
The ring on Madam Yan’s hand lit up as an Iron-armored Ship flew to the sky. She took Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang onto the ship, after which Bai Leng and the other warriors boarded as well. They set off their journey to the Heaven Prison City.
The speed of the Iron-armored Ship was fast, but there was still some distance between the Heaven Prison City and the Blood Evil Island. Therefore, it was better if they took the Teleportation Formation at the Heaven Prison City which would be quicker.

Lu Li, hang in there…

Bai Qiuxue was very anxious. Xu Chen must be at the Blood Evil Island now. The Yu Family warriors should be close as well. It all came down to whether Bai Ge and Bai Rui could make it.
…
Xu Chen indeed had reached the Blood Evil Island. He had brought many warriors of the God-down Island with him. If he had taken the Fate Wheel with Xu Tianwen and rushed over at the maximum velocity, he should have arrived at the Blood Evil Island a while ago.
Xu Chen was discreet. It was Xu Sihe who was killed this time. When the situation was not entirely clear to him, Xu Chen must be careful. He had brought all the powerful warriors with him so he could evacuate early in case of special circumstances.
Nearly a hundred battleships came breaking the waves. When they arrived at the Blood Evil Island, Xu Chen bellowed,
Encircle the island!

The battleships divided into two groups and surrounded the Blood Evil Island. After this, Xu Chen shouted in a voice that had been increased by his Xuan Energy,
Lu Li, get out of here!

Xu Chen’s roar was loud, resounding through an area with a radius of more than three miles. The Blood Evil Fortress was only about a mile away from the bank, so everyone nearby had heard it.
Lu Li was sitting in the Blood Evil Fortress. Many people were there, including the surviving warriors of the Blood Evil Island. Many wounded warriors were under treatment. The more than 100,000 civilians of the island were nearby as well.
Many peoples’ expressions changed upon hearing Xu Chen’s roar. A warrior that could shout such a loud shout with the help of Xuan Energy must be one of the Fate Wheel Realm. A person that could do this publicly and name Lu Li must have an unusual identity.

He has come so soon.

Lu Li and Hunchback Tian looked at each other and frowned. Lu Li had planned to bring some core members of the Liu Family to the Small World, but Xu Chen had come unexpected soon which had left Lu Li little time to react.
Lu Li was sitting in the Blood Evil Fortress, waiting for the fatigue period of the Burning Blood Skill. But, it had not come. Since the enemies were here, Lu Li could not wait any longer. This could not be avoided.
Lu Li looked at Hunchback Tian, got up and said,
Hunchback Tian, let’s go. Let’s go and meet our Island Owner Xu. Remember, if they want to fight, you must cooperate with me. If we can kill Xu Chen or Xu Tianwen, then things will go more easily.

Lu Li led Hunchback Tian out. The latter’s wounds were taken under control. However, with one arm short, his fighting ability was greatly impaired. Of course… if they could find some mystical materials, there was a chance for him to grow his arm back.
Lu Li found Patriarch Nine, told him some things, and left with the remaining seven Green Dwarfs. Lu Li and Hunchback Tian flew on the Fate Wheel while the seven Green Dwarfs walked on ground towards the dock.

I think all the powerful warriors of the Xu Family are here.

Lu Li and Hunchback Tian felt the pressure looking at all the battleships and the warriors onboard.
If all the warriors were willing to risk everything and fight their way onto the island, none could survive on the island even if Lu Li and Hunchback Tian could kill Xu Chen and Xu Tianwen.
While flying to the dock on the Fate Wheel, Lu Li kept thinking. By the time they arrived at the dock, healready had a plan. He bowed to Xu Chen and said,
Greetings, Island Owner Xu and Lord Tianwen. Could you please tell me why you dragged so many people here?

Xu Chen had been looking at Lu Li coldly and checking the surroundings to see if there were any powerful warriors lurking around. So did Xu Tianwen. How come Lu Li came out just with Hunchback Tian and several Green Dwarfs? Wasn’t he afraid that Xu Tianwen could kill him instantly?

Hmm!

Xu Chen humphed and said,
Sihe and Xu Yaoyang died near the Blood Evil Island. Lu Li, don’t you think you owe us an explanation?’

What—

There came a huge commotion. It was only until now that the warriors of the God-down Island tumbled to the reason for Xu Chen’s anger. Xu Yaoyang and Xu Sihe had died?
Lu Li appeared to be surprised. He answered,
Really? I don’t know. Island Owner Xu, just now, several groups of lake bandits just raided the Blood Evil Island. We managed to defeat them with great efforts, but we have great casualties. I have never seen Young Master Xu and Lord Sihe. Did the lake bandits kill them? Oh right… the leader of the lake bandits was at the Fate Wheel Realm. Only he could kill Lord Sihe.

Lu Li had decided to say a big fat lie. Xu Chen didn’t start the attack as soon as he got here, which meant that he was not sure Lu Li was the one killed Xu Sihe and Xuyaoyang. So, Lu Li made up his mind to mess around with Xu Chen for a while to see if he could get away with it. He would secretly attack Xu Chen if it was needed.
Xu Family sent no scout over this time as Xu Sihe and Xu Yaoyang were here to supervise off the records and they could not be seen. Xu Chen had thought that Xu Sihe was here, and they were here secretly so nothing risky could happen.
Were they really killed by White Beard?
Xu Chen denied this notion after some thoughts. White Beard had not guts nor the motivation to kill.
Xu Chen then looked at Lu Li and coldly asked,
How did you beat White Beard? Where is he now?

It would seem that Xu Chen had little information. Lu Li felt confident. He casually said,
A mysterious powerful warrior helped us to beat White Beard. He had left about an hour ago. There are too many wounded and deceased on our side. All our scouts were killed, so I cannot find out where he had run.


Powerful warrior?

Xu Chen and Xu Tianwen looked at each other, surprised. Was that warrior helping Lu Li at the Heaven Martial Kingdom really not a member of the Bai Family? If there was some powerful warrior helping Lu Li, would it be too risky for them to fight their way in?
Lu Li’s words seemed well-reasoned. Xu Chen and Xu Tianwen were becoming suspicious. If Lu Li didn’t do it and they killed Lu Li over it and massacred the Blood Evil Island, would Madam Yan become angry?

Whoosh!

Right at that time, a battleship came breaking the waves. A scout of the Xu Family shouted from the distance,
Island Owner, I found Young Master and Second Patriarch’s bodies. Patriarch Eight is able to determine the cause of death. Second Patriarch’s Fate Wheel was damaged, and then he was killed by a halberd. Young Master was killed by a halberd as well.


Swish, swish~

Lu Li and Hunchback Tian’s expressions changed. Not many people would use a halberd. As far as Lu Li knew, he was the only one. The weapon of choice for White Beard was a saber. He had been compromised.

Now!

Lu Li shouted in a low voice. Offense was the best defense. As long as they could kill Xu Tianwen and Xu Chen, there was still a chance for Lu Li to get out of this today.
