Chapter 514

: Plot
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
At the southeast side of the small battlefield, there was a huge mountain range where caves were abundant. The tunnels and paths were complex and confusing, extending in all directions. People would get lost quite easily here.
Two miles underneath the ground, there was a large cave with more than a dozen warriors inside. Both young masters and young ladies in the group were wearing elegant robes which accentuated their impressive bearing.
A couple of luminous pearls were placed on the ground. An underground stream meandered. By the stream, there were some tents. It made a quite nice resting spot.
A rug was laid on the ground by the stream. Some young masters and young ladies were sitting in a circle and drinking. In the middle of the drinking, one young master abruptly smashed his goblet on the ground and shouted,
I cannot live like this anymore. We are all disciples from royal families and yet some punk has forced us to hide in some underground cave for one month. If the news got out, how could we ever live in the Central Plains?

His words upset the other young masters and young ladies. Many felt grievance as well.


A handsome young master with a somewhat evil look added,
Lady Mengtian, Young Master Suan, have you been exaggerating? Is Lu Li really that powerful? We cannot beat him even if we work together? How can a warrior of the Eternal Realm be that strong? Maybe he has learned a Profound Meaning of the seventh or eighth rank, but I don’t think we will lose to him.

Lu Suan showed no emotions, like a dried-up well with no ripples. He said nothing so nobody could tell what he was thinking. Ji Mengtian, who was wearing a blue dress which gave her a dazzling beautiful look, said with a bitter smile,
I don’t know why. But…since he can beat the allied forces of the four alien races, he must have powers stronger than warriors of the Noble Lord Realm now. We must be careful in case we fall into his traps. Lu Li is a guy that will take no heed of anything when he goes nuts. He once had the courage to kill patriarchs of the Lu Family back at the Mystic Armor City…

That was right!
The more than a dozen young masters and young ladies sitting here were Ji Mengtian, Die Feiyu, Lu Suan, Lu Ni and Yang Xuan and their attendants. Lu Li had been wandering around for a long time but failed to find them because they had sought asylum here a while back. The cave was two miles underground with tunnels leading to all directions and complicated terrains. It was impossible for Lu Li to find them here.
Lu Li had beaten the four alien races who all sent out their royal disciples. Ji Mengtian and the others were terrified, afraid that Lu Li was going to seek revenge. Hence, they had been hiding here.
It was normal for them to feel blue after hiding for a month. At the Central Plains, they could get anything they wanted. They stood high above the masses. Never had they met something so frustrating. Every minute in here would make them more upset and their anger grow.

Bang!

Yang Xuan smashed his goblet, stood up suddenly and said,
He has the guts to kill us? I dare him! Lady Mengtian, you have Quasi Relic and we all have our own means. Why should we be afraid of him? Lady Feiyu can heal our wounds and we can be cured right away even if we are injured. As long as we plan accordingly, we can kill that punk with ease. What do you think?

Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan gave each other a look that contained deep meanings. Ji Mengtian smiled lightly and replied,
We have no doubt of your abilities, Young Master Yang Xuan. I don’t have any problems. Maybe my willow vase cannot kill Lu Li but at least I can protect myself.

Die Feiyu blinked and said,
I agree as well. But I will not be in charge of attacks. I will only heal your wounds.



Lu Suan looked at Yang Xuan with a gentle smile and said,
Young Master Yang, you are extremely capable and valiant. I have always been admiring you. But…Lu Ni and I can only offer some assistant but we cannot do the killing. After all, Lu Li is my cousin. It will be bad for our reputation if we are the ones killing him.

Many people were looking at Yang Xuan who felt he had been tricked. Did Lu Suan and Ji Mengtian just placed a trap for him to jump in?
That being said, Yang Xuan had already boasted himself hard so he had to withhold his anger and say,
Okay, you will assist me. I will do it myself and chop that bastard. You might be afraid of Lu Renhuang seeking revenge, I am not.


Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!

Lu Ni stood up, waved his hand and said,
Let’s get ready and we will all go. Now send someone to find Lu Li’s whereabouts.


Whoosh, whoosh~

Everyone went to pack their own stuff. They were fast and got ready in the time for only two incense sticks to burn. Yang Xuan pouted, feeling being set up. It was Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan who said they should hide. Were they saying that on purpose to provoke Yang Xuan’s arrogance and anger so that he would take the initiative to deal with Lu Li?

Move!

Yang Xuan had been harboring some rage so he didn’t think too much. They rushed out to the exit and were out of the mountain range in the time for a few incense sticks to burn.
They felt refreshed, being able to breathe in the fresh air they had been away from for some time. Lu Suan and Ji Mengtian signaled for their attendants to have a look around.



Whoosh, whoosh~

One of them came back after a moment and reported,
There are a few of the Voodoo Race over there!


Kill them!

Yang Xuan could use these Voodoo Race warriors to vent his anger. He raged on with his men. Die Feiyu followed him closely. Ji Mengtian and Lu Suan slowed down on purpose and stayed at the back of the team. Ji Mengtian asked Lu Suan secretly,
Is everything ready?


Almost!

Lu Suan smiled lightly and said,
All we need now is for Lu Li to show up. We will have Yang Xuan go and confront him while we observe from the distance. That uncle of mine, Lu Renhuang is talented. He has gone missing for many years but I think it’s best that we don’t anger him…


Ha, ha!

Ji Mengtian said with a sweet smile,
In this world among our generation, Lu Suan you are the most horrifying. I am lucky that I am not your enemy, otherwise I would have died in your hands without knowing how.

Lu Suan grinned. A glint of passionate admiration sprang to his eyes as he stared into hers and said,
Lady Ji, you will never be my enemy. I have been admiring you. I can set everyone in the world up but never you. You see, I have been pursuing you for so many years with above board actions. Have you ever seen me resorting to some scheme?


Is that so?



Ji Mengtian’s blossoming smile added to her becoming beauty. She moved on. Then she stopped, turned back and said with a smile,
Young Master Suan, if you can beat Lu Li this time and kill that one, you will be able to prove that you are the most important young master in the world. I…will think about what you said.

Lu Suan answered with a nod,
I will not let you down. Wait and see.


Ha, ha, ha~

Ji Mengtian rushed on, leaving behind pleasant laughter. Her gentle and graceful movements were enticing to Lu Suan and the other young masters nearby.
Lu Suan hopped on and caught up with the team. He looked to the northwest. The smile on his face faded as he said,
Lu Li, my cousin. I am sorry. It’s not like I don’t care about brotherhood. But there can be only one king, one monarch. In the old days, your grandpa bested mine and became the Family Patriarch. Now, our branch is in power and we will never let it go. Only…when you die will Uncle Renhuang show himself. We would be staying up at night with worry as long as he is still in hiding.


Besides, if you don’t die, how can I prove that I am the best young master in the Lu Family? How can I prove that I am the most appropriate person to lead the Lu Family to glory? Don’t worry…Lu Family will have a more promising future in my hand. Lu Family will best the Samsara Palace and become the most powerful in the Central Plains. Trust me.
