"Demon-slaying Battlefield!"

On hearing the name, Lu Li felt like his blood was boiling. Lu Feixue didn't say much. Nevertheless, Lu Li had already painted a mental picture – the Voodoo race, Feather race, Barbarian race and Asmodians were swarming in from all sides and directions. They wanted to occupy the richly endowed and beautiful Great Land. The pioneers of humankind were fighting bloody battles. They fell one after another but they also slaughtered powerful warriors of the other four races. They were heroes that were protecting the beautiful land of humans.

"I should definitely go there if I have a chance in the future."

Lu Li said to himself which was followed by a bitter smile. He was of such a low realm right now. Not even warriors of the Noble Lord Realm were qualified to go there, let alone Soul Pond Realm warriors.

"Cultivate, I should cultivate!"

Lu Li dared not to waste another minute. Blood essence was precious. Every second of every minute, there might be more of it being wasted.

He went back to his room and committed to closed-door cultivation on his soul, which was the primary focus in the Soul Pond Realm. The cultivation of Xuan Energy at the current stage was not as important. What was more, to cultivate Xuan Energy was easy at the Lu Family which had more valuable pellets than the Cyan Phoenix pellets.

The blood essence in Lu Li's body surged on as soon as he started using the Soul Cultivation method. Blood essence swarmed into his Soul Pond and strengthened it. The cultivation was moving forward at a fantastic speed. Lu Li could actually feel that his Soul Pond was getting bigger and bigger with the passing of time.

If it could continue like this and if blood essence could be sustained at the current state, Lu Li believed that in a month, at most, he could reach the peak of the Soul Pond Realm. Then he would ask for more materials from the Lu Family so he could make the breakthrough to the Fate Wheel Realm.

Days went on quietly.

Lu Feixue also went into closed-door cultivation. She didn't make a go at the Noble Lord Realm at once, though. It had been quite some time since she cultivated so she would need some more time for adjustment. Yu Huashen and Ming Yu started closed-door cultivation as well. Lu Li asked other escorts outside to decline to receive a guest. He would not meet anyone and he would like to focus on cultivation for some time.

All the troubles caused by Lu Li since he came here quieted down along with his low-key cultivation. Patriarch Eight knew that Lu Li was in cultivation so he wouldn't come and disturb Lu Li. After all, blood essence was precious. The more Lu Li could take in, the better it would be.

Lu Lin and Lu Hongyu came once to meet Lu Li, but he didn't come out from his cultivation to see them. They went back.

…

At noon after more than a dozen days, an Iron-armored Ship came breaking the air from the south. The ship didn't make any stop outside of the city and it went directly in.

Nobody on the wall stopped the ship. There was a big bold character of "Lu" written on the Iron-armored Ship which was golden in color. Lu Family only had two of those and both of them were for the important figures to take.

"Whoosh~"

Dozens of powerful warriors flew out from the Mystic Armor City and the Mystic Armor Mountain, waiting for the Iron-armored Ship to make a landing on the mountain. They all bowed and said, "Family Master."

Lu Li was alarmed by the shouts. His eyes flickered when he heard the words "Family Master". He flew out and looked up in the yard.

The Iron-armored Ship had been put away. An old man in elegant robe was flying down with two young masters and some other warriors. They went directly into the Hall of Patriarchs.

Yu Huashen, Ming Yu and Lu Feixue came out as well as they were all alarmed. Lu Li asked Lu Feixue as soon as he saw her, "Family Master? Who is that?"

Lu Feixue answered, "Who else can he be but your grandpa's big brother?"

"I thought it should be my grandpa." Lu Li was still confused.

"Your grandpa is Family Patriarch."

Lu Feixue explained in a low voice, "Your grandpa is in danger. A country cannot survive one day without a king, and a family cannot live on without a Family Patriarch. However… since your grandpa is still alive and his state cannot be made public, your grandpa's big brother can only call himself a Family Master. If he called himself the Family Patriarch, the truth would get out. The outside world would guess that something had gone wrong with your grandpa. We have been claiming that your grandpa is trying to reach a higher realm, and your grandpa's big brother is the acting Family Master in charge of Lu Family matters."

"Oh, I see!"

Lu Li was a bit disappointed. He was so happy just now. When he heard Family Master, he thought his grandpa had come out.

Lu Li remembered the two young masters and asked, "Why is my grandpa's big brother with Lu Suan and Lu Ni? What could they be doing?"

"I don't know…"

Lu Feixue shook her head and said with a straight face, "Lu Li, you must act carefully recently. Don't go out. Both Lu Suan and Lu Ni aren't good people. They will definitely find you some trouble if you go out. The elders won't mind a bit of fighting and competition between the young generations as long as nobody gets killed."

Lu Lin also mentioned this before. Lu Li asked with confusion, "Why not? Are they just sitting there and watching the disciples to have internal fights? I think it will be bad for the family and for the cohesion."

"Ha, ha. This is not specific to the Lu Family. Big Families are all alike."

Lu Feixue said with a forced smile, "There are too many young disciples in big families. It is inevitable that they will want to compete with each other. As far as the other elders are concerned, if you want to be outstanding, you must best your peers. If you cannot even best your peers, how can you move up and convince others? If you cannot even beat other disciples of the family, how can you compete with other talented young disciples of other families? How can you win glory for the family?"

"It is reasonable!"

Lu Li touched his nose, but he was not fond of competing with his peers. They should be family but they were acting like enemies. What was the fun in that? If he must beat his cousins in order to rise up, he would rather not.

"I will go back to cultivation now."

Lu Li had been cultivating for nearly half a month. He was close to the later stage of the Soul Pond Realm now. It was not in his interest to make a big scene right now. He would rather just stay in the Rising Dragon Pavilion to cultivate. It would make the world quieter as well.

"Whoosh~"

Lu Li wanted quietness but things found him. An escort walked over in strides. He reported after he went into the Rising Dragon Pavilion, "Young Master Li, our Family Master wants to meet you."

Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were getting nervous. Lu Feixue thought for a moment with a frown and whispered to Lu Li, "Lu Li, behave yourself. Don't talk back when you meet him. He is now the Family Master and he controls the Lu Family. All the disciples of the Lu Family must listen to him. If you offended him, we will be kicked off the Mystic Armor Mountain."

"Right…"

Looking at Lu Feixue, Lu Li decided to act with caution. His grandpa's big brother was the one in charge now, not those patriarchs. If he angered the Family Master, it might be alright for him. But Lu Feixue had just settled down. If she was kicked off from the Mystic Armor Mountain, where could she go?

Lu Li walked toward the Hall of Patriarchs, following that escort. He saw many strange powerful warriors in the yard. There were 20 or 30 of them, waiting in the yard. Some of them were at the Human Sovereign Realm. They must be Patriarchs of the External Clan.

"Young Master Li, please wait outside. Later, our Family Master will call you in."

A deacon of the Noble Lord Realm saw Lu Li and he went over. Lu Li touched his nose. He had to wait in a corner in the yard.

Many people looked at Lu Li in curiosity but none of them approached him for questioning. There were people being brought into the Hall of Patriarchs every now and then and there were people coming out as well. However, nobody called Lu Li. He had no other choice but to wait outside in silence.

He stood there…

He stood there for an entire afternoon. It was getting dark now but still, nobody asked him to go in.

Lu Li's face was getting gloomier, but he held himself back and waited in silence. People were coming and going. There came some more patriarchs from the External Clan but Lu Li was not asked to go in.

After another two hours, it would be completely after dark. Lu Li could not go through with it any longer. He cupped his fists to that deacon and said, "It's late. I am sleepy and I will go back to take a nap. I will come and meet the Family Master later."

With that said, Lu Li strode out and disappeared into the darkness.

There were some deacons and patriarchs of the External Clan still in the yard. They were shocked to witness this. The young man was as rebellious as they heard in stories…
