The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 451: Jinx



Chapter 451: Jinx

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

God of Meng, his eight patriarchs, Ye Cha and three of his patriarchs, and Meng Zhi began their quest to conquer the Deserted World. But it was easier to fight than to deal with the aftermath. Ye Cha told Chee-ker to bring hundreds of flying Hags with her to be in charge of cleanup and collection of spoils.

The Yellow Goblin Race was undergoing a tough period of time. God of Meng and the others went straight to the royal clan of the Yellow Goblin Race. God of Meng smashed the skull of their Clan Leader immediately, and the other powerful Yellow Goblins were killed by Ye Cha and the others. Then all the other Yellow Goblins surrendered.

As a matter of fact, many races depending on the Stellar Race had anticipated what would become of them after the death of Hua. Titan Race and the Stellar Race had always been enemies. Now that Hua was dead, it was impossible for God of Meng not to even up the blood debts.

Even after they surrendered, God of Meng didn't let the Yellow Goblins off the hook easily. He had the flying Hags kill all the powerful Yellow Goblins, take over all their Mystical Materials and all their mines.

The next race they went to was the White Hair Race, the one that Lu Li and Ye Cha met.

Three Noble Lord Realm warriors of the White Hair Race were killed by Song Qi, and they had four left. Faced with a Human Sovereign Realm warrior that was God of Meng, the four didn't have any power to fight back.

But the White Hair Race was one with moral integrity. Even when all their Noble Lord Realm warriors were dead, the others didn't surrender. God of Meng was enraged and ordered to put on a purge. Ye Cha and Meng Zhi were not kind people. Blood was shed around the entire White Hair Face. Even Chee-ker and Yao-ker participated with their flying Hags.

After a day, they resumed their trip. The 10,000 of the White Hair Race were all gone. Truth be told, the ancient races were very nice to their allies, close enough to let their allies support their wives and families. But for enemies, they were cruel and ruthless. Either they didn't fight, or they must fight till one side was exterminated in case the losing party would rise up again.

In the ancient times, there were at least tens of thousands of races, but after three wars, half of them were gone. Most of those did not die in the hands of humans, but other enemy races…

Blood was shed over the Deserted World because of Lu Li's order. Of the 18 races here, six had been allies with the Titan Race, and the others were on the side of the Stellar Race.

It would seem that apart from the six, it boded ill rather than well for the other races. Even if some of them could survive, they would be faced with ultimate destruction sooner or later.

Kindness, virtue?

As far as the special races, no… the entire Great Land or the world were concerned, those words were not used in reality. Even if there were acts of kindness and virtue, it would be for people of the same family and race. People from different races and families shared different thoughts.

This was what it was like in the Heaven Reverse World. This was the plain fact. It was not as heartwarming as fairy tales and the only thing here was interests and cruelty.

Lu Li didn't mind what God of Meng was doing. God of Meng would have been killed by Hua a long time ago if he was so incapable of conquering the Deserted World when there were other powerful warriors helping him.

Lu Li was still staying in the ice room. Unlike Jiang Qiling, he didn't lose his mind in times of this. He was calm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come out when God of Meng was here.

Bai Qiuxue had sacrificed so much not for him to despair, to fall, or to fail.

He knew that even though she was frozen, she could sense what was going on outside, which was why he could not allow himself to be depressed or decadent. He must pull himself together. He could not let Bai Qiuxue down by letting her sacrifice down the drain.

He had been staying here to keep her company for fear that she might be scared nor flustered.

He had been sitting with his legs crossed to cultivate. Every few hours, he would stop and talk to her through the ice to let her know that he had been here with her…

Lu Li hadn't smiled for days. He felt the burden on his shoulder was increasingly heavy. He hadn't saved his parents or found where Lu Ling was yet, and now, he was indebted to Bai Qiuxue.

Sometimes, he felt like a jinx for others.

When he was born, his mother was dying, and his father jumped into the Ice Abyss with her to find a cure. Now, it had been 17 years. Then, to save him, his sister was burnt to death. She was reborn but nowhere to be found…

This time, Bai Qiuxue had to be frozen for 100 years to save him. He felt guilty, but he could not waste time on this or despair. He must be firm and tread on towards the finish line that he could not see now.

Lu Fenghuo, Lu Suan, and Lu Ni would take actions against him occasionally. Cyan Phoenix Race, Titan Race, and the Mammoth Race could be found at any time, which would lure the six forces including the Samsara Palace to the Northern Desert. Bai Family, Yu Family, and the other races were counting on him. Who could he count on?

He was the emperor of the Northern Desert with countless powerful warriors at his service. Now there was the addition of strong races and a Human Sovereign Realm warrior. It appeared to be impressive and lofty, but who would know how much pressure he was under?

Like how Bai Qiuxue was just a girl, he was only a 17 years old young man. A couple of years ago, he was at the Liu Family pulling coffins and had a sister to count on, but now, he had nobody to rely on. Instead, he had to support the world for others…

"Phew, phew!"

Lu Li exhaled. His breath was frozen soon and his lips had ice on them. He looked at Bai Qiuxue in the ice, and soon, his dazed looks turned into determination.

He did not have the luxury of time to shed tears. He was not living his life for himself now, but for his parents, Lu Ling, and Bai Qiuxue.

It might be hard, but at least, he was still breathing and he was not suffering. Rather, his loved ones were suffering, and their lives were hanging by a thread. Lu Li began to focus his mind on cultivation.

The Northern Deserted regained peace lately. Ye Cha sent back a message to let others know that Song Qi was dead. Madam Yan was relieved.

Even though she did not know how Lu Li and Ye Cha killed Song Qi, but she knew Ye Cha would not lie and Bai Qiuxue and Lu Li's jade talisman of life were intact.

Previously, the wide spread of rumor was because Madam Yan had given her permission. She had another intention, to draw a snake out of its hole, namely, to see which families were trying to upset the empire.

Soon, the chaotic situation of the Northern Desert died down with Yu Huashen's iron-fisted measures and Madam Yan posting a notice explaining the entire matter. Lu Li and Ye Cha hadn't returned yet, but the civilians were relieved.

The only one that was still jittering was Bai Xiashuang!

Lately, she had been feeling cold out of no reason as if she was suffering from malaria. She was afraid and even more so at night. She would wake up from her dreams with a start often and with her back drenched in cold sweat.

She had been having the same strange dream. She dreamed that she was kept in a dark room with no single ray of light. No matter how hard she yelled help or ran or struggled, she could not break free.

She told this to Madam Yan who asked several doctors to check her but nothing was found. Madam Yan was swamped so she had no more time to worry about Bai Xiashuang and told her to have some rest. She suspected that she might be under too much pressure recently…

"No, I am not freaked out by the pressure. Something is wrong. Something has happened to my sister!"

Bai Xiashuang was more nervous. She had a strong bond with Bai Qiuxue. When Bai Xiashuang was injured as a kid, Bai Qiuxue fell ill for half a month. When Bai Xiashuang's injury recovered, Bai Qiuxue became well at once.

"I must go and see her!"

Tears welled up in her eyes. She said nothing. She just teleported to the Heaven Prison City and went to the Thousand-island Lake by herself.

She did not know what had happened to Bai Qiuxue exactly, but since they were twins and they were the closet families, she knew her sister was suffering.

Bai Xiashuang wanted to suffer with Bai Qiuxue, whether it was in hell or in the lair of demons…
