Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Winners took it all. This was a dog-eat-dog world where the strong were honored.

This was the rule of the Northern Desert and even the whole world. To complain wouldn’t get anywhere. To show resentment at Heaven and lay the blame on men was no use. To face the reality was the smart choice. The Xu Family left immediately for the God-down Island to make further arrangements.

Before the Xu Family even came back, the God-down City was in chaos.

Scouts had sent the message back. Xu Fangfei was shocked. She fell to the ground, unable to put herself together for a really long time. Many disciples of the Xu Family were freaked out. Xu Chen’s concubines suffered from nervous fears. The entire God-down City was boiling in heated discussion.

In addition to the God-down City, the entire Thousand-island Lake was seized in a huge commotion. But others were not concerned about the Xu Family, but the fact that the Yu Feinong killed Bai Rui.

The Thousand-island Lake and the three parties had a deal that they would live on in peace but the powerful warriors of the three kingdoms could not enter the Thousand-island Lake.

However, not only did the Yu Family send in warriors but also killed a Patriarch of the Yu Family. How could it be like this? When the Old Man of Heaven Prison was bursting with anger, the entire Heaven Martial Kingdom would be sent into a blood bath, not to mention the Yu Family.

Sure enough!

In just two hours, the Old Man of Heaven Prison gave out the order in person which spread across the Northern Desert – the Yu Family had breached their agreement. The Thousand-island Lake would send out a troop to suppress the Yu Emperor City and kill every one of the Yu Family in no time. Anyone dared to stand in the way would be an enemy of the Bai Family.

The Old Man of Heaven Prison had declared war. The entire Thousand-island Lake was excited. All the Family Patriarchs of Fourth-rank Families were teleported to the Heaven Prison City, asking for the permission to join the troop.

To fight alongside with Old Man of Heaven Prison was an honor. As a member of the Thousand-island Lake, to participate in this kind of fight was a must. Also, this kind of fight was practically without dangers. They were basically going to loot the wealths the Yu Family had accumulated over the years. The Thousand-island Lake had a legitimate reason to initiate the fight so the three Kingdoms would not stop.

The Old Man of Heaven Prison was the third most powerful person of the Northern Desert. Once, he himself beat the Family Patriarchs of the three Royal Families which sent his name across the Northern Desert. The three Royal Families were convinced by Old Man of Heaven Prison’s power. Who dared to stop him now that he had gone to war in person in a fit of rage?

A huge sensation swept through the Northern Desert after words spread around. As everyone had expected, the three Royal Families made no comment. They practically gave their consent. The fate of the Yu Family was sealed.

Bai Xi and the others were getting busy to prepare for the war. Many scouts were sent out. A fight of this scale was not something to be taken lightly. It would require a comprehensive plan.

Since the Old Man of Heaven Prison said he wanted the Yu Family destroyed then nobody of the Yu Family could live!

Therefore, Bai Xi first sent out many scouts to the Heaven Martial Kingdome to keep an eye on every movement of the Yu Family. At the same time, they would see if the three Royal Families would do anything. Caution is the parent of safety.

The people that could go must be selected after discussion. Not all the powerful warriors could go. What if some army came to attack the Thousand-island Lake and breached the defense of the Bai Emperor Mountain?

There was the allocation of materials. They couldn’t let so many warriors go through the rigors of living in the wildness. There must be a complete plan for the arrangements.

After several rounds of meeting, Bai Xi made up his mind that they would set off in a month to level the Yu Emperor City to the ground.

The basic plan was set. Every one of the Thousand-island Lake was cheered up. This fight was to win glory for the Thousand-island Lake. Everyone felt they were honored and that the fight would make the Thousand-island Lake more prominent at the Northern Desert. None of the three Royal Families would have the courage to demonstrate their power at the Thousand-island Lake from now on.

All those that entered the Thousand-island Lake were the ones that were forced into a dead end by the other Families. Those warriors despised the three Royal Kingdoms. Instead, they had developed a sense of attachment and glory to the Thousand-island Lake. Here was a chance to fight back, many warriors were eager to contribute.

…

People of the Blood Evil Island were excited as well. Disciples of the Liu Family were so worked up that they cried.

The Yu Family was the Liu Family’s mortal enemy. Now that the Yu Family was about to disappear, how could they not feel happy? The more important thing was the Liu Family was about to go to the God-down Island together with Lu Li.

That was a Fourth-rank Island. Even though the Liu Family was not strong enough to be a Fourth-rank Family, given time, the Liu Family could rise up leveraging the resources of the God-down Island.

Fourth-rank Family!

The Liu Family, at its most powerful time, was a Third-rank Family during Liu Rufeng’s command. Now there was hope that the Liu Family could become a Fourth-rank one. It was enough cause for the disciples of the Liu Family to be overjoyed.

Lu Li did not bring people of the Blood Evil Island to the God-down Island right away. He buried the deceased warriors on the Dragon Elephant Mountain.

Lu Li felt responsible for the deaths of the warriors. He had woken too late. These men shouldn’t have died.

He asked Liu Yi to take some Xuan Crystals out as compensation offered to families of the deceased to make proper arrangement for them. The wounded were given many Xuan Crystals as well.

It was deep into the night already. Lu Li felt not fatigue or the desire to sleep. The weak period after using the Burning Blood Skill had not come yet which was surprising to him.

It would seem that after he reached the Soul Pond Realm, the duration of Burning Blood Skill was greatly lengthened. It could not last for more than one day now.

He didn’t go back to the Earth Dragon Island. He wanted to spend the night at the Dragon Elephant Mountain. Hunchback Tian was tending to his wounds here. He had lost an arm so it would take him at least ten days or half a month to be fully recovered.

Ming Yu was cultivating inside a gazebo. Lu Li stood on his own, digesting the things that had happened the past few days, thinking about the changes when he reached the Soul Pond Realm.

The animal tooth pendant went missing and there was a mysterious dragon pattern in his Soul Pond. Was this good or bad?

For now, his body was fine, more than fine. The Xuan Energy in his Spirit Sea was being condensed and the Soul Pond was stable. Everything was fine.

Ming Yu’s appearance guaranteed his safety. Everything was going smoothly. In three months, Ming Yu would finish dealing with his matters. By then, Lu Li could go back to the Lu Family at the Central Plains and go to find Lu Li at the Cyan Plains.

The Old Man of Heaven Prison was going to set off to the Yu Emperor City, which Lu Li would not concern himself about. Lu Li felt his sense of hatred not as strong now that the Yu Family was going to disappear.

After an hour standing on the peak of the mountain, Lu Li straightened his mind on many things.

He wanted to leave the Yu Family matter alone, and the Thousand-island Lake. He would help the Liu Family to take control of the God-down Island and stabilize. In three months, he would leave the Thousand-island Lake and went to the Central Plains to find the Lu Family.

Lu Li still felt no desire for sleep after a while. He went back to his fortress to cultivate till almost dawn before he fell asleep.

On the second day, Lu Li brought Ming Yu, Liu Yi, Patriarch Nine and more than 10 warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm to the God-down Island on battleships. Lu Li asked Hunchback Tian to assume personal command at the Blood Evil Island. He was ready to take control of the God-down Island.

One day had passed. The ones of the Xu Family that wanted to leave must have gone. The ones stayed would either want to live and die with the God-down City or to surrender.

As soon as Lu Li left the Blood Evil Island, people of the God-down City were informed. The more than a dozen small and big Families in the City were getting nervous. Many Family Patriarchs went to the city gate with their Patriarchs to wait the arrival of Lu Li.

By the time Lu Li got to the city, there were hundreds of people gathering at the gate. They were all members of the Families in the city.

“Welcome, Island Owner Lu!”

The hundreds of people all dropped to one knee and saluted Lu Li when he arrived. Lu Li nodded. These Families were here to surrender. They knew what to do to keep themselves alive.

“Move!”

Lu Li waved his hand and took the lead to walk into the city. The people on their knees quickly got up and followed him. They went toward the city plaza in a mighty array.

The plaza was full of people. Many were waiting in terror for Lu Li. Even though there were tens of thousands of people and many of them were warriors in armors at the plaza, it was as silent as grave. People could hear the drop of a pin.

The Xu Family’s gates were closed. On the gates hang some white and black cloths. Many people of the Xu Family came and left last night. Nobody knew for sure how many were here now.

Lu Li walked into the plaza. Many more knelt to him. He looked at the Xu Family, the gates of which slowed opened. Xu Fangfei walked out with a bunch of people. She was wearing a black band on her arm and white mourning dress.

In her eyes were hatred. Her beautiful face was covered in ice. She looked at Lu Li and said to him clearly, “Lu Li, if you want to become the master of the God-down Island, you must step over our bodies first.”
