The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 392: Blood Bath

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Yu Huashen was a fierce person and he once was an overlord. There were no more powerful warriors in the Heaven Frigid City. If he couldn't take control of the city now, he would have wasted his years as a Family Patriarch of the Yu Family.

Lu Li knew very well that under his orders, blood would be shed like water. Tens of thousands of people were going to die.

The achievement of a great person cost many lives!

This was a famous dictum. How could one climb up without stepping on dead bodies? How could one overpower so many warriors without utilizing some iron-fist means? Trying to touch everyone with kindness and ethics? Trying to talk them to surrender? Bullsh*t!

There were far too many warriors in the world and many families. To become a powerful warrior, one must possess endless resources which entailed owning a territory.

Anyone that unified the Northern Desert would make an enemy of all the families in the Northern Desert. One had to snatch other's lands and resources. Who would listen to the talk of kindness? Iron-fist methods were the only solution. Lu Li had to hang a sharp sword above the head of all the families and force them to surrender!

Lu Li had made up his mind when he decided on coming back to the Northern Desert. He was not a nice guy. There was no absolute justice and evil in the world. Fists were the only rule.

He had to rely on himself to rescue his parents and to find his sister. He had to grow stronger and he had to have a formidable force working for him. He would establish a new Lu Family here and he would make Lu Zhengtan and all the other disciples of the Lu Family regret!

It was a difficult path and a risky one as well. One wrong move and he would fall into the abyss. He was a stubborn person, so he wouldn't change his mind. He would give it all even at the cost of his own life.

…

Many families in the city surrendered. Du Heng and the kingdom's counselor were killed, so basically, the Heaven Frigid Kingdom had entered a new era of a new master. Anyone who dared to fight back shall be met with death. Lu Li said that he would unify the Northern Desert. Those ones here were the first to surrender which could be used as a leverage for better benefits in the future.

There were eight fourth rank families at the Heaven Frigid City that were affiliated with the Du Family. After their surrender, Yu Huashen and Ming Yu had many warriors in their control. As Yu Huashen had once been an overlord, Ming Yu handed the rest of the matters to Yu Huashen.

Yu Huashen ordered to seal off the city. Warriors of the eight families moved out and blocked the Heaven Frigid City. Yu Huashen knew very well that he had to remove the roots of the trouble, which meant that all the warriors of the Du Family must be killed. Otherwise, they would be living under constant threat of assassination and secret attacks.

The Heaven Frigid City had just fallen into a new pair of hands. Du Family had been controlling this land for such a long time that there must be many loyal people. Yu Huashen needed to find them all and kill them one by one.

There were families that had a deep relationship with the Du Family. All of them should be found out. What Yu Huashen wanted was complete control over the entire Heaven Frigid City.

Lu Li left everything to Yu Huashen and Ming Yu. He was in the side chamber with Lu Feixue and he had asked Ming Yu to find him the best imperial physicians and elixirs in the national inventory of the Du Family.

There were many treasured materials in the world. Re-growing limbs was not that difficult. The Heaven Frigid Kingdom had those kinds of elixirs as well.

The imperial physician found the best elixirs for Lu Feixue. Lu Li was relieved after a moment of observation. Lu Feixue's wounds were healing.

That being said, he didn't leave. He sat in the side chamber.

He trusted Yu Huashen. Lu Li himself had no experience in management. His interference would disturb Yu Huashen. He might just as well let Yu Huashen manage on his own.

Yu Huashen was a smart guy. Since he had sworn his allegiance to Lu Li, he would do his best. This was the first fight since Lu Li got back to the Northern Desert. He had to deal with everything beautifully, otherwise, Lu Li would doubt his abilities.

One day and a night!

Yu Huashen was buried in work for an entire day and night. At the small hours, there were still noises of fighting in the city. People's miserable cries were still prevalent as the killing was still going on…

The city quieted down at dawn. Lu Li hadn't made an appearance. He was still waiting for Yu Huashen to report back.

"Whoosh~"

At dawn, a ghost figure suddenly flashed into the imperial palace. Ming Yu had been staying with Lu Li. He opened his eyes which were filled with killing intent.

Lu Li had no psychic power so he could not investigate and he needn't to. He opened his eyes, smiled and said, "I think it's Ye Cha."

"Saint Lord, it's Ye Cha!"

As Lu Li expected, there were some shouts of excitement from outside. Lu Li grinned from ear to ear. The news about the Heaven Frigid City should have already spread across the Northern Desert. Ye Cha being able to make it now by traveling overnight was a testimony of his fast speed.

"Come in!"

Lu Li said. A man flew in. It was an excited old man, Ye Cha, the Clan Leader of the Cyan Phoenix Race.

"Greetings, Saint Lord!"

Ye Cha knelt. Lu Li said with a smile, "No need for this. It has been some time. How have you been?"

"Good, very good. Everything is good since Saint Lord has come back!" Ye Cha got up. His wrinkled face was radiating in excitement.

Lu Li nodded and asked, "How are the other places of the Northern Desert?"

"The same!" Ye Cha's answer was simple. Lu Li had a basic idea now. He said after a pause, "I am exiled from the Lu Family. I want to unify the Northern Desert now. What do you think?"

"We will follow your orders." Ye Cha answered with a bow, "The Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race will follow you and assist you in establishing an empire."

"Good!"

Lu Li stood up and said, "Believe me. As long as I am alive, I will lead you back to the Central Plains and help you reclaim your land."

Ye Cha nodded without saying anything. Lu Li thought about it and asked with some doubt, "Clan Leader Ye, I remember you saying your enemies are six out of the 10 most powerful families of the Central Plains. But I think there are 12 Royal Families instead of 10."

Ye Cha replied with a frown, "Well… I am not sure. I think two more families showed up over the past thousands of years."

Lu Li understood and asked another question, "Who are your enemies? Where is your ancestral land?"

Ye Cha explained, "Our ancestral land is at the southwest of the Central Plains. Our enemies included the Yaksha Race, Palace of Immortals Inquiries, Palace of Heaven's Roars, Great Buddhist Temple, the Samsara Palace, and the Pavilion of Blossoms."

"Palace of Heaven's Roars!"

Lu Li and Ming Yu looked at each other. They once went past their territory. Lu Li didn't know that the Palace of Heaven's Roar was involved in the action of destroying the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race.

All of those were eighth rank forces and among the 12 Royal Families!

Lu Li's mind was weighed down. There were 12 most powerful forces of the Central Plains and he had to face six of them in order to help the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race. It was equivalent to a puny insect trying to shake the world.

Seeing that Lu Li felt awful, Ye Cha comforted him, "Saint Lord, don't feel too anxious. We know that this is incredibly difficult. We will not blame you. Just do your best."

"Alright. We will unify the Northern Desert first and make this place our own!"

Lu Li gazed into the distance. He became more determined. If he desired to fight for the thrones at the Central Plains, he must be strong enough, and he must control a powerful force. If he couldn't even occupy the Northern Desert, how could he say that he could rise up in the world?
