Chapter 254: The Might of Lu Renhuang

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The authority transfer of the God-down Island went on smoothly with Pei An's help, Ming Yu assuming command and Hunchback Tian acting as the executioner.

The Spirit Sea Realm warriors of all Families were sent to Lu Li per his request and they formed the new Blood Evil Army of which Liu Yi was the commander.

It was kind of ridiculous and amusing that Liu Yi, only at the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, was controlling an army of more than 1000 warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm, among whom there were five or six hundred at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.

That being said, nobody dared to disobey her orders. Hunchback Tian was second in command. He was feeling very upset about his missing arm. Anyone that dared to disobey would be killed by Hunchback Tian immediately. He wouldn't even punish them first.

Also, many people thought Liu Yi was Lu Li's lady. Gradually, most of the warriors swore their loyalty. What Lu Li offered to them was generous as well. Soon, most had acknowledged the command of Liu Yi.

The God-down Island was quite large. Apart from the God-down City, there were three other cities. On the island, there were dozens of properties that belonged to the Xu Family and now they all became Liu Family's assets.

The Families and forces that were affiliated to the Xu Family now listened to Lu Li's order. Every month, the Families and forces would hand in Xuan Crystals. By a rough calculation, Lu Li could cash in nearly a million Xuan Crystals a month.

As a matter of fact...

In the old days, the Blood Evil Island could make the same amount of Xuan Crystals. However, Lu Li's animal tooth pendant had gone missing so the Liu Family could not grow the Blood Caterpillar Fruits, the Nether World Roots and other Mystical Materials any more.

All the Liu Family disciples were relocated. Nevertheless, the Blood Evil Island was not given to other forces. Someone were sent over to guard the island. This order came directly from Lu Li as there was that Inhibition Formation to the small world in the Earth Dragon Island.

As for the Sun-down Island and another unoccupied island, Liu Family didn't take them. They gave the island to two second-rank Families.

The Liu Family wanted to take the islands but they were short of hands. They didn't have too many warriors to start with. After several rounds of fight, so few were left. After Patriarch Seven broke his leg, he could only do some backstage work.

Liu Yi's mind grew more mature. In the old days, she could count on Patriarch Seven. Now, however, she had to tend to everything in person. Patriarch Nine could offer some help. But he was not was seasoned as Patriarch Seven so Liu Yi was not comfortable of Patriarch Nine handling most of the issues.

More importantly!

Liu Yi was very clear that Lu Li having her to be the commander of the Blood Evil Army was to have her take complete control of the army. She would have the military power now. When Lu Li left, she wouldn't be made a mere figurehead.

Liu Yi was clever and diligence. She took care of everything personally. Lu Li also name her the Vice Island Owner of the God-down Island and she had to govern all the matters. She had become the spokesperson for Lu Li.

Liu Yi knew she had little time. She had to establish the absolute authority before Lu Li left so she worked at full split.

...

Lu Li cared for nothing. He lived in the backyard of the Xu Family compound to cultivate. This was also where Ming Yu resided now.

Ming Yu once said that he had matters to attend to so he could only leave after three months. When Lu Li asked him about it, Ming Yu said he only needed a few days when the three months were almost up. So Lu Li let it be. Plus, he felt secured with Ming Yu here.

Xu Fangfei left. She was afraid that Lu Li would really strip her and hang her at the city gate.

Lu Li was in no habit of killing women. With Xu Chen dead, his hatred of the Xu Family had become less intense. There was no need to go to the extremes. As for possible retaliation from Xu Fangfei? Lu Li found no threat in that. The Xu Family was still in the world. It was okay to let Xu Fangfei live.

The Xuan Energy in the Spirit Sea had been completely transformed into a more condensed form. Previously, the Xuan Energy was existing in the gas state and now the liquid state. The power of Xuan Energy was increased by folds.

Lu Li had been cultivating his Xuan Energy these couple of days. At the same time, he was consuming pellets and elixirs to nurture his Soul Pond and consolidate his achievement at the new Realm.

He also spent time in practicing Apparition. This Xuan Skill was so good that Lu Li decided he must master it completely.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

At the backyard of the Xu Family compound, illusionary shadows were produced one after another. The shadows were rushing about in the yard. One shadow after another vanished and then appeared. The yard was full of shadows, very confusing to the eyes.

After several days of cultivation, the number of shadows increased by two, totaling at 20.

Ming Yu walked out from his room, stood in side and looked at the yard full of shadows. He said nothing. Lu Li didn't stop cultivating.

"Swish~"

Lu Li stopped his movements and stood in front of Ming Yu who was wearing the Ghost Mask so his expressions were not shown. But Ming Yu's eyes were flickering. He said, "Young Master, this should be a secret skill passed down from the ancient times. It must be derived from some Profound Meaning. Please spend more time on trying to grasp the underlying meaning of it. You might be able to touch the superficial knowledge of Profound Meaning from it."

"Profound Meaning?"

Lu Li was intrigued. White Beard only perceived the surface of Profound Meaning but it was awesome already. He could avert the day and night.

Lu Li asked, "Ancient secret skill? What's the difference of it from Xuan Skills?"

"There is a big difference!" Ming Yu explained, "Ancient secret skills were derived from Profound Meaning. Some were even created by combing several Profound Meanings together. Xuan Skills are not this good. They are just technical skills. Even Xuan Skills of the Holy Grade are just so-so. They can't even compare with just superficial understanding of the Profound Meaning."

Lu Li sensed a deep longing for Profound Meaning. He exclaimed, "The Profound Meanings are so powerful?"

"Yes, of course!"

Ming Yu crossed his hands at the back, looked to the sky and continued, "Profound Meanings are what warriors perceive from heaven and earth. They are the truth of the world. To understand Profound Meaning can help a warrior leverage the power of heaven and earth. It is said that Ninth-rank Profound Meaning can topple the mountains and overturn seas, destroy heaven and level the ground. Legend has it that the Northern Desert were connected with the Central Plains in the old days. The land was parted by a rare powerful warrior using Ninth-rank Profound Meaning."

"What?"

Lu Li was shocked. He blinked and asked, "Ninth-rank Profound Meaning? Separate Northern Desert and the Central Plains in one move? How is that possible..."

How big was the Northern Desert? It would take Lu Li months to go across the Northern Desert in a straight line at the top of his speed. There was a powerful warrior that cut off the Northern Desert in one move? Was that really something a human being could do?

"The Northern Desert is a small place."

Ming Yu said with strong emotions, "There is no warrior of the Human Sovereign Realm here. You have so little Mystical Materials and the Xuan Qi between Heaven and Earth is not thick enough. Central Plains is the center of the world, the paradise of powerful warriors."

"Oh!"

Lu Li paused for a while and then asked in curiosity, "Ninth-rank Profound Meaning? Ming Yu, which rank is your 'Force' at? I think it's quite good as well."

"No, not at all."

Ming Yu shook his head and said, "Mine is only of the Second-rank. First-rank is the weakest and Ninth-rank is the most powerful. Your father is really good. He perceived the Sixth-rank Profound Meaning. He has the Mystical Armor Skill. When he had just reached the Human Sovereign Realm, he could already beat warriors of the same Realm."

"My father is really that good?"

The way Lu Li saw it, Ming Yu's "Force" was already awesome but it was only of the second-rank. His father knew a Sixth-rank one? If a Ninth-rank Profound Meaning could cut off the Northern Desert, then could his father cut the Thousand-island Lake open?

"If my father is that good, then why is he trapped in the Ice Abyss for such a long time? Also, my father must be one of the most talented in the Lu Family. Then why didn't anyone come to look for him?"

Lu Li had several questions. As far as he could see it, how could a small abyss trap such a powerful warrior of the Human Sovereign Realm? Didn't the Lu Family send anyone to look for him? Could it be...that something happened to the Lu Family? Or was there anything else?

Lu Li frowned. At first, he had thought that as long as he could go to the Central Plains and found the Lu Family, everything could be sorted out. Now, he was getting nervous.

Things, were not as easy as he had thought...
