Chapter 282: New Overlord
The chaos of the Thousand-island Lake quickly quieted down. Powerful warriors of the three kingdoms all gave orders for their armies to withdraw. Anyone that dared to kill another one or take another piece of Xuan Crystal shall be killed.
Du Zheng had demonstrated his support for Lu Li and Lu Li’s powerful warriors could beat any force of the Northern Desert. Who would be so bold as to act rashly? What if, in a fit of rage, Lu Li directly went to the three kingdoms and destroyed them?
Madam Yan sent some warriors to take over the fallen territories but there was actually not much to do. Many cities were leveled to the ground and treasures were taken away. Even farmlands were cleared…
Many families of the Thousand-island started to hunt down warriors of the three kingdoms. So many lives had fallen at the Thousand-island Lake, and now that they had won, they wanted to follow up a victory with hot pursuit.
Madam Yan didn’t mind those warriors expect for telling them to stay within the Thousand-island Lake. So many people had died this time so it was good to let the living vent some anger.
After Lu Li left the auction house, he didn’t go to the Bai Emperor Mountain. He directly went back to the God-down Island as he was kind of afraid to see Madam Yan, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang.
Lu Li was given a generous gift by Du Zheng. If Lu Li wanted, he could become the overlord of the Thousand-island Lake right now, then he could become the new emperor of the Northern Desert.
However…
Du Zheng didn’t understand Lu Li well so his method of gift-giving was wrong.
Lu Li didn’t feel too grateful. Instead, he felt somewhat repellent of Du Zheng. Du Zheng really was insane. For benefits, he had made so many innocent people die.
It could not be denied!
Lu Li now indeed was the savior and guardian and the uncrowned king of the Thousand-island Lake. Only Lu Li had the ability to protect the Thousand-island Lake now. As long as Lu Li was alive, the three kingdoms would not have the guts to attack the Thousand-island Lake again. Lu Li had become the second Old Man of Heaven Prison.
The actual fact was known to only a few. Many more only had a faint notion. On the surface, Lu Li had turned the tides, beat the powerful warriors of the three kingdoms and saved the Thousand-island Lake.
The news went viral. Lu Li’s name was known to all at the Thousand-island Lake. Some survivors even set up tablets for the living to pray for him.
The armies had come in formidable arrays and left in fast speed!
In just 10 days, all the armies had left. The islands of the Thousand-island Lake went back to their original owners. The wounded were being treated and the dead were buried. Water that was tainted red became clear again.
The Thousand-island Lake had restored its quietness but the deceased could not be brought back to life. The pattern of the Thousand-island Lake was broken. Some families that had been in control of Fourth-rank Islands had lost too many powerful warriors that they no longer had the ability to hold onto their control. Those islands were coveted by other forces. For now, nobody made a move, vut it was only a matter of time before some families started to fight for those islands.
The Bai Emperor Mountain was in peace. There seemed to be less people in the Heaven Prison City. The liveliest place currently was the God-down City. All the Family Patriarchs and leaders were here to pay respect to the uncrowned king of the Thousand-island Lake.
Lu Li met none of them. He asked Liu Yi and Patriarch Nine to receive them or Yu Huashen if the two could not handle. Lu Li stayed in his backyard for 10 days since he hadn’t figured out how to meet Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang.
On the 11th day, a special guest came to the God-down City, Madam Yan.
Lu Li had to meet her. He asked Liu Yi to invite Madam Yan to the back
yard and received her in a side chamber.
Ming Yu stood behind Lu Li with the Ghost Mask still on. Madam Yan seemed to be less haggard as the other day. She wore a black dress, black pearl earrings and black pearl necklace. The black color made her snow-white skin stand out. She appeared to be very elegant and quiet.
Madam Yan came on her own. She came in, bowed and said with respect, "Young Master Lu, greetings."
This was for servants to meet masters. Lu Li touched his nose in embarrassment and replied, "Please take a seat, Madam. Bring us some tea."
