Everyone was already alarmed before Lu Tianhe's shout could even reach them. The other two patriarchs of the Human Sovereign Realm flew out and glanced downward.
At the same time, five other warriors at the peak of Noble Lord Realm rushed out, ready to fight the formidable enemy at any time. They felt the psychic power was particularly strong, stronger than that of a Human Sovereign Realm warrior!
The rest of the Noble Lord Realm warriors didn't leave. They dashed towards Lu Li, containing him and the other three. This was an order from Lu Tianhe. Should anything happen, Lu Li and the other three must be taken under control.
"Nobody?"
What shocked Lu Tianhe was there was nobody there. They glanced downward and used their psychic power again and again but nobody was found.
"It's a trap!"
Patriarch Feng seemed nervous. He suddenly turned to the sky which was shockingly bright. It was as if a sun had exploded in the pitch dark night. The ray of light was so dazzlingly bright that Patriarch Feng thought he was blinded.
At this moment… he felt he had lost control of his mind.
In addition to Patriarch Feng, Lu Tianhe, the other patriarch, and the five Noble Lord Realm warriors all turned to the sky out of instinct. Then their souls were struck and they were standing in midair like idiots.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Every one of them fell. Simultaneously, a streak of strong psychic power spread out and surged into the cabin. The five Noble Lord Realm warriors that were controlling Lu Li collapsed to the floor.
"How…"
Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were terrified. This was beyond imagination. There was nobody in sight and yet the three warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm had passed out? What kind of Profound Meaning or skill was this that could knock out five peak Noble Lord Realm warriors with one streak of psychic power?
Lu Li's eyes flickered. Suddenly, he thought of something and words escaped his mouth, "A warrior with a powerful soul!"
Lu Feixue nodded in agreement. She was born in a distinguished family and she was well-informed. She knew many things even though she was not powerful herself.
Only a warrior with a powerful soul could knock out three Human Sovereign Realm warriors silently in an instant. This warrior must be at the Earth Immortal Realm.
Then, it was evident who he was…
"Little White—"
Lu Li shouted and Little White rushed out from his sleeve. It quickly bit off the chain and Lu Li stood up slowly, not nervous at all.
He asked Little White to chew off the chains from Lu Feixue and the others. He looked out of the cabin and waited in silence.
"Buzzing~"
With a tremble in space, an old man with long white hair and eyebrows that touched the ground showed up. Lu Li bowed and said, "Great Patriarch."
It was the Great Patriarch of the Lu Family, Lu Li's fifth great-grandfather. Great Patriarch seemed to be curious. He squinted and asked, "Kiddo, how do you know it's me?"
Lu Li smiled lightly and said, "There aren't so many warriors with such powerful souls, and those at the Earth Immortal Realm are few and far between. The only one that wants to save us at the risk of offending Lu Zhengtan is you."
"Hmm, hmm!"
Patriarch Five snorted. With a gentle wave, the five warriors at the peak of Noble Lord Realm in the cabin flew out. After which, Lu Tianhe and the others were smashed onto the ground.
Great Patriarch turned to Yu Huashen and Ming Yu and said, "Go and take control of the Iron-armored Ship. Fly to the east and go beyond the ocean."
"Thank you, lord."
Ming Yu and Yu Huashen were overjoyed. They were ready to die at the Omen Island and they never expected that they would be saved.
They walked out soon and turned the Iron-armored Ship around, heading towards the east. They were wondering why Great Patriarch didn't present himself during the plenary session and why he chose to save everyone now at great risk. Was he going to go separate ways with the Lu Family?
Lu Li and Lu Feixue were having similar questions. Great Patriarch had assaulted Patriarch Feng and Lu Tianhe openly which would infuriate Lu Zhengtan as this was a challenge to his authority.
Looking into Lu Li and Lu Feixue's questioning eyes, Great Patriarch said after a pause, "I am here now because I don't want to part ways with the Lu Family. I think it's not going to be… easy for your grandpa to wake up. Lu Zhengtan is the Family Master and in public, I must respect him. You have killed in the city. If I came to that meeting, the patriarchs of the External Clan wouldn't be happy. The Lu Family is already in turmoil and it will become more chaotic."
Lu Li understood it. He asked with a frown, "But Lu Zhengtan will know it is you from the way you saved us. Will you be in trouble?"
"You have a clear conscience."
Great Patriarch sighed and said, "He will have some ill feelings towards me but I will not leave behind any proof. Lu Zhengtan can guess that it is me, but he cannot do anything. After this, I can no longer live at the Mystic Armor Mountain. I have to find a place nearby and have some quiet cultivation."
Great Patriarch continued after a pause, "Lu Li, I think you know why it all happened. Don't blame your grandpa's big brother. After all, your grandpa cannot wake up yet. For his big brother to come into power, he has to have absolute authority. The existence of you and your father is a challenge for that. Therefore… you cannot stay at the Mystic Armor City and you will have to go on your own journey from now on."
Lu Li nodded. Great Patriarch had done his best. Lu Li's eyes flickered and he asked after some thoughts, "Great Patriarch, can you go back to the Northern Desert with me? I have something I need your help with."
"No!"
Great Patriarch shook his head and said, "I cannot live at the Mystic Armor Mountain, but I cannot be too far away from it, either. Your grandpa is seriously injured and the family is in danger. If I leave, the Lu Family might be attacked. So, you have to do everything on your own."
"Alright." Lu Li bowed and said, "Anyways, thank you very much."
"Don't thank me!"
Great Patriarch waved his hand and said, "I will clear the obstacles for you to go past the ocean safely. But I will not tell you where to go next. I have only one request. In the future, if you are accomplished, don't go against the Lu Family disciples. If you run into your father, tell him this as well. This is the Lu Family and we are all disciples of the Lu Family. We cannot hurt our own family members."
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded but then he added, "I will leave them alone as long as they don't make trouble for me."
"Fine."
Great Patriarch knew what Lu Li was like and he knew it was already difficult for Lu Li to say so. Great Patriarch handed over an Interspatial Ring and said, "The family has treated you badly this time. I don't have anything good, so I'll just give you some Xuan Crystals and Mystical Materials. Lu Li, you are a nice boy. I hope you can cultivate well and don't make my stuff go to waste."
Looking into Great Patriarch's eyes full of expectations, Lu Li took over the Interspatial Ring. Then he got down on one knee and bowed.
"Okay, go on now. It's a boundless world out there. If you are a hero, you should not be afraid of any hardship. You shall go against the wind and you shall rise high up in the sky!"
Great Patriarch waved his hand, gazed into Lu Li and then disappeared from the cabin. Lu Feixue also got down on one knee. Neither she nor Lu Li said anything but they both felt, for the first time, warmth from the Lu Family.
The Iron-armored Ship went forward. It looked like a ferocious beast, piercing through the night sky in a fast speed. In just a few blinks, it had vanished into the distance.
In midair, Great Patriarch showed himself again. He watched as Lu Li left. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Zhengyang, your son is talented and your grandson has his temper as well. I can only go this far. Whether he will rise up or sink is dependent on him…"
