: Unforgiven
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
In just half a day, the news had spread out inevitably. Madam Yan couldn’t block the passage of the information.
Apart from Bai Leng and the five, the other powerful warriors that entered Haunted Hollow all died. But the 10,000 warriors that went to the Yu Emperor City survived.
But they were not far from death right now. Powerful warriors from many Families of the three Royal Kingdoms were chasing down the warriors from the Thousand-island Lake down. About half of them were already killed…
Many warriors sent back message to their own Family via special means to ask their Families to prepare for funerals and the highest-level warning.
The entire Thousand-island Lake was disturbed. Many Patriarchs were trying to teleport to the Heaven Prison City but failed.
There could be only two possibilities. One was the Teleportation Formation was broken and the other was that the one at the Heaven Prison City was sealed off.
Whichever one it was, it meant something serious had happened. All the Families were in panic. All kinds of rumors were flying around and pieces of bad news were abundant. Many people were so terrified that they could not live on in peace. They were at a complete loss of what to do.
People that came to the Thousand-island Lake were those that could not survive outside. Many Families had been living here for so many years and accumulated wealth and assets. They had settled here and was in no mind of leaving the Thousand-island Lake.
What was more, where could they run away to?
The three Royal Families hated the Thousand-island Lake to the guts. Many Families of the Thousand-island Lake were probably blacklisted. Even if they could escape from the Thousand-island Lake, in the end, they would still be killed.
The Bai Family didn’t send out any information. The Families of the Thousand-island Lake were without a leader now. Families lived close to the Heaven Prison Island immediately ran to the Heaven Prison City, asking for an audience with the Bai Family.
The Heaven Prison City was still majestic. The
Heaven Prison
on the city gates were the same vigorous and bold writing and it was still the Bai Family army standing on the city wall.
The Heaven Prison City didn’t fall but it was sealed off. People were only allowed in but not out. Some scouts got some information after they went in but they would be killed as long as they dared to leave.
Several Patriarchs from some Fourth-rank Families came to the Bai Emperor Mountain together to ask for Madam Yan. However, not only was the Bai Emperor Mountain sealed off, there was an activated Formation that covered up the entire mountain. Not even a bug could fly in.
This mountain protection Formation of the Bai Family had been here for many years. The Old Man of Heaven Prison oversaw the construction by himself. The defense of the Formation was very powerful. Yet, all those years, it had never been activated. Now that it was, it meant the worst had happened.
It was almost certain that the Old Man of Heaven Prison and Bai Xi were killed. The Bai Family could hardly manage their own issues. The other Families knew that it was not possible to rely on the Bai Family and that they had to help themselves.
How to?
Many Patriarchs that didn’t go to war almost burst into tears. About 70% of all the powerful warriors of the Thousand-island Lake went, thinking they could make a fortune. They didn’t expect that they would lose those powerful warriors.
The God-down Island was in panic as well.
Liu Yi and Patriarch Nine found Lu Li at once. Pei An and Island Owners of Third-rank Islands were here as well. Lu Li was all they could count on now. If Lu Li couldn’t do anything, then they would have to wait for their impending death.

The Old Man of Heaven Prison is dead and Bai Xi as well. In 10 days, the armies of the three Royal Families will attack the Thousand-island Lake. It is no use to find me. Run away by yourselves. Nobody can fight this.

Lu Li only left those helpless words after he saw Pei An and the others. Then he brought Liu Yi and Patriarch Nine into the backyard.
Lu Li could not and would not want to care about the death or life of Pei An and the others.
But he must care about the Liu Family.
He paced up and down in a chamber in the backyard. All the warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm of the Liu Family stood in silence, waiting for Lu Li to say something.
In the time for half an incense stick to burn, Lu Li finally made up his mind and said,
How many people does the Liu Family have now? Only the Internal Clan!

Liu Yi and Patriarch Nine looked at each other and did some rough calculation. Liu Yi answered soon,
There about 2000, including females, of the Liu Family. There are about 3000 warriors of the External Clan so altogether 5000.


Don’t mind the External Clan!

Lu Li thought about it and said,
Later, send out some battleships to tour around. In the meantime, secretly relocated the Internal Clan of the Liu Family to the Blood Evil Island and then to the Earth Dragon Island. Remember…you must keep it confidential. If anybody else knew about this, none of you could survive.


Earth Dragon Island?

Liu Yi and the others were surprised. What were they doing at the Earth Dragon Island? Shouldn’t they figure out a way to leave the Thousand-island Lake?

Don’t think, don’t ask and don’t hesitate!

Lu Li glanced to the Patriarchs of the Spirit Sea Realm coldly and said,
Just carry out my order. I will warn you one more time. If you listen to me, the Liu Family can be saved. If you don’t, do as you will and I will leave the Thousand-island Lake by myself.


Don’t!

Liu Yi was frightened. She looked at the Patriarchs and said,
What are you waiting for? Carry out Island Owner’s order now.

Patriarch Nine added,
Any one dares to disobey will die in my hands. Anyone dares to say a word will be killed as well.


Yes!

They quickly accepted the order. Now they felt more reassured. The other Families had zero idea about what to do but they were better. With Lu Li leading them, they didn’t need to think much. They just had to follow him.
Liu Yi left with the Patriarchs. They started planning how to secretly take people to the Earth Dragon Island. Lu Li had made it very clear that no piece of information could get out or the Liu Family would be no more.
Lu Li planned to the send the Liu Family into the small world. He had spent much time with the Liu Family. He would have developed feelings to a dog after being together for such a long time so he would not leave the Liu Family behind.
The small world would be safe for the time being. The armies of the three Royal Families had no time to be spent on the small world. When the armies reached the Bai Emperor Mountain and came to find the small world, Ye Cha and the others would have made the breakthrough so there was nothing to be afraid then.
There were five Noble Lord Realm warriors and the Mammoth Race and the Cyan Phoenix Race which was the fastest race in the world. The powerful warriors of the three Royal Families would probably lose to them.
The Liu Family soon got busy. But the God-down City was in a chaos. Since Lu Li couldn’t take care of them, the other Families had to look after themselves.
Nobody blamed Lu Li. After all, Lu Li relied on the Bai Family which could hardly manage their own issues. There was nobody to count on now but themselves.
Some Families had been preparing for running away and they wanted to leave the Thousand-island Lake as soon as possible before the armies of the three Royal Families surrounded the Thousand-island Lake.
Some Families reached out to their connections in the Big Families of the three kingdoms and asked for protection. If they could get the protection, they could leave the Thousand-island Lake easily. Once they entered the sphere of influence of those Big Families, they would be safe.
The Families at the lake side were luckier as they had been in touch with the outside world. They had some business and relationships with some forces nearby the Thousand-island Lake. After spending some Xuan Crystals, they easily relocated the elites of their Families.
But those ran away were not so lucky.
There were countless scouts outside the Thousand-island Lake now. Many places had troops stationed. There were three Third-rank Families that run away but they were all killed by now.
By the afternoon on the next day, all the speculations were confirmed – the three Royal Families declared that they had sent troops to gather together outside the Thousand-island Lake and surround it. Anyone tried to run away would be met with death.
At the same time, the three Royal Families issued a notice that the Old Man of Heaven Prison had been killed. In 10 days, the allied armies of the three Kingdoms would go into the Thousand-island Lake. People unwilling to surrender would be unforgiven and would be punished with death.
