Usually, when important people made an entrance, they would be followed by many to demonstrate their status to be distinguished from the herd. It was understandable that people would appear to be more domineering when followed by a group.
But Lu Li came with no one. He faced with an army of ten million on his own and the beast alone. The Dragon Demon’s evil spirit overwhelmed the army. This way of entrance was more astounding.
Many Feather Race warriors had already lost the will to fight because of Lu Li’s intimidating reputation. At the moment, more had the urge to run away. If one of them had, it was possible that over half would have abandoned their posts.
Could anyone fight that gigantic beast? Lu Li had defeated the Asmodian Lord. Was there anyone else here that could hurt Lu Li?
No Feather Race warrior knew the answer. But one thing was clear to them. Behind them was the Valley of Feather and the Mountain of Wings where the princes and the princesses were at. The royals were all in the valley. The warriors could not run and should not run!
“Bang!”
Lu Li stopped, less a mile away from the valley. He was not far from the army, a bit over a mile. Those at the front felt suffocated. They had flown down and stood on the ground, silently.
Lu Li used psychic power to check the Valley of Feather. Faintly, he could sense the presence of a yellow shield. He also sensed Lu Zhengyang and the others. They were alive, to Lu Li’s relief. He was not too late.
He had Lu Zhengyang’s jade talisman of life in his hand and it was still intact. Lu Li knew that as long as he could defeat the army and powerful Feather Race warriors in front of him, he could save Lu Zhengyang and the others and won the battle.
He did not take rash actions, though. The past experience of Lu Zhengyang showed Lu Li that any type of ignorance could throw him into trouble and eternal doom.
He used psychic power to glance through the army, but he was not worried. It was an army of a large population, which might seem to be formidable. However, to Lu Li, they were nothing other than nobodies. Many warriors were only at the human’s Fate Wheel or External Realm. Those warriors had no real powers. The Dragon Demon could overcome them with spirit alone.
Then, Lu Li checked the Valley of Feather, from where he sensed the presence of powers. Those that he could call powerful must be above the Earth Immortal Realm. He could vaguely tell that there were thirty to forty Earth Immortal Realm warriors in the valley. Some were concealed.
“The Feather Race must have gathered almost all their powerful warriors here.”
Lu Li thought to himself. This was a battle related to the survival of the Feather Race. It was only natural that the powerful warriors would come. Back at the Ocean Land of the East, when Lu Li thought there must be very few powerful warriors, some had come. This was a similar situation.
Lu Li then turned to the Mountain of Wings and the statue of God of Wings on the peak. He was not far away from the Mountain of Wings so he could see the statue clearly and he could tell there was someone standing in front of the castle next to the statue.
“Those must be the big shots of the Feather Race.”
A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li’s eyes. He had developed a plan. Destroy the leader and the gang would collapse. He would not start the rescue effort in such a hurry. He must kill or capture the big shots first to avoid falling into any traps.
After some thoughts, Lu Li yelled in the ancient language, “Who is the leader of the Feather Race? Come out!”
Lu Li used Dragon’s Roars. His voice was as loud as the thunder roared. Space was trembling. Many Feather Race warriors fell down. Fierce wind bellowed. It was like his roar had upset the world and led to great changes.
Truth be told, Lu Li’s realm was not high. He was merely at the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm and was about to reach the later stage. To many Feather Race powerful warriors, this realm was nothing worth mentioning. Even so, Lu Li was standing on the head of the Dragon Demon and his fame was intimidating. His roar instilled more fear into the Feather Race.
“Swish, swish, swish~”
Many Feather Race looked back to those standing on the Mountain of Wings. Those were the most honorable of the Feather Race. The leaders were there.
The three princes were frightened. They looked at each other and all stepped back. Who dared to go out and confront Lu Li? What if they were all murdered by him?
The three patriarchs disdained the cowardly princes. The former was disappointed. Their late master might not be an enlightened monarch, but at least he was a standard leader. How could he have those three to be his sons? The old prince was already 50 years old and he was at the Earth Immortal Realm. Yet, he did not even have the nerve to face Lu Li.
“Buzzing~”
Chief Patriarch’s robe was torn apart at the back. She spread her purple wings and lifted up the cape, revealing her breathtaking face.
But…
Her face was notably different from that of Feather Race females whose chins and ears were pointier. Usually, Feather Race females had Roman noses. They were many alive elves in the woods.
However, the Chief Patriarch had an oval face and human’s ears. She was more like humans than the Feather Race. If it were not for her wings, nobody would take her as the Feather Race.
“Alas..”
The three patriarchs sighed again as they looked at this graceful face. If this lady had the appearances of the Feather Race females, the three of them would make her the master no matter what.
“My lords, will you go with me to meet Lu Li?”
The Chief Patriarch said with pride and gave the three patriarchs a gentle glance. The three of them said nothing but smiled. They spread their wings and flew up.
“Whoosh~”
The Chief Patriarch flapped her purple wings and flew out of the Valley of Feather with the other three patriarchs.
They were fast. Soon, they were above the army of ten million. Stared at Lu Li, the Chief Patriarch said coldly, “I am Ye Nishang, the newly appointed Chief Patriarch and the fifth princess of the Feather Race. Nice to meet you, Grand Master Lu!”
“Ugh…”
Lu Li was surprised to see that the leader of the Feather Race was a female who was like a human being.
More importantly, she was speaking the human language. She said with clear articulation and a mellow and full tune, and a Central Plains dialect. He would mistake her as a young lady from the Central Plains if it were not for her purple wings.
“She is breathtaking!”
Lu Li had seen many pretty ladies, but he could not stop himself from exclaiming. This lady was nature’s masterwork, a perfect artifact.
Feather Race females were good-looking, and the males were handsome. However, Lu Li never learned to appreciate their beauty because they felt too alienated. This situation could be likened to a fox spirit with a tail. The fox spirit might be enticing, but the men would not be interested. That tail would ruin everything.
This Feather Race princess was different. The wings made her look like a fairy from the heavens. She had a perfect figure and exceeding beauty. Even Lu Li had to admire her looks.
Of course, admiration was not equal to desire!
He was merely appreciating her beauty. He understood very well what she was and that they had unsolvable hatred between them.
But he was curious. “Princess Five, nice to meet you. I am wondering… why you look so much like humans. How come you can speak the human language?”
“That is simple!”
Ye Nishang smiled and said, “Because my mother was a human and a young lady from the Ye Family of Tumulus of Universe. As a matter of fact, Ye Luo is my cousin!”
“What?”
Lu Li was taken aback. The prince of the Feather Race was Ye Luo’s cousin? Wouldn’t Lu Li and she be related to some extent?
