Baihua City had been captured long ago because the people from Baihua Pavilion had already fled. Lu Ling led his army and captured it in one go.
After Lu Li captured Baihua City, he sent six armies to compete for the territory occupied by Baihua Pavilion. Baihua Pavilion had three major seventh-grade families and countless sixth-grade families, but there was almost no resistance. Only the three armies had some small wars.
The only one who almost had a serious incident was the South Road Army.
The army on the south road was led by an elder from Lu, and Bai Xiashuang was among this army. In order to protect Bai Xiashuang, Lu Ling sent two earth immortals, but they were ambushed.
"Buzz~"
The teleportation array in Baihua City shone brightly, and Lu Li's figure appeared. As soon as he came out, Lu Li immediately entered the Tianxie Pearl. After all, safety came first. His spiritual mind scanned it and confirmed that Lu Ling was in the city and that the army had occupied the city.
His figure flashed out.
"Greetings, young master!"
Several Lu family deacons rushed over and knelt on one knee in front of Lu Li. The sergeants in the square knelt down one by one, all with fanatical eyes.
"Get up!"
Lu Li responded coldly, flew away, and arrived at a manor in the city, where Lu Ling stood to greet him.
"younger brother."
Lu Ling looked a little ashamed and hesitated to speak. Lu Li forced out a smile and said warmly: "Sister, this is not your fault. What is the specific situation? Is the investigation clear?"
Lu Ling pursed his lips and said: "They are the remnants of the Ji family. The team is led by a hidden earth immortal from the Ji family, and there is another earth immortal who I don't know where I found it from. This matter... Lu Fengyun has something to do with it.
It’s my responsibility because he didn’t listen to my orders and play it safe. He went deep alone and insisted on capturing a spiritual vein.”
"Lu Fengyun?"
Lu Li frowned. This seemed to be a powerful elder from the side lineage. He was from the lineage of the Fifth Grand Duke. He had some impressions of him in the middle stage of the Human Emperor.
"Well, I'll go to Xikui City first."
Things just happened, and Lu Ling didn't know much about the situation. Instead of asking here, it would be better to go to Bai Xiashuang's place and have a look.
Lu Ling nodded slightly, she needed to stay here, and since Lu Li was here, she didn't need to worry too much. Lu Li flew out, entered the teleportation array, and teleported all the way towards Xikui City.
Xikui City is a territorial city. Lu Li only teleported four or five times before arriving here. There are more than 100,000 troops in this city, including many human emperors. Lu Li's two soul slaves, Earth Immortals, are here.
"Shuang'er!"
Lu Li detected Bai Xiashuang with one sweep of his mind. She was lying in a castle at the moment, her face was very pale, and it looked like she was seriously injured.
"call out!"
Seeing this, Lu Li felt a twinge of pain in his heart. He ignored the saluting sergeants around him and shot out of his body, rushing straight into the castle.
"Young Master Li."
Outside the castle, there was a group of Lu family princes. Seeing Lu Li flying towards them with a gloomy face, they were all trembling with fear.
Lu Li did not look at the group of people and strode in, entering Bai Xiashuang's room. Two soul slaves and immortals were guarding the outside. When they saw Lu Li, he immediately knelt down with guilt on his face and said, "Young Master, we are guilty."
"Hmph~"
Lu Li snorted coldly and entered the room. There was a young lady from the Lu family and two maids serving him. Seeing Lu Li rushing in, the three of them were shocked and stood up one after another.
"go out!"
Lu Li knew this young lady from the Lu family, but he didn't know her name. He didn't want to talk to her and just waved his hand domineeringly.
The young lady nodded respectfully and walked out with the two maids. Lu Li sat by the bed, looking at Bai Xiashuang's beautiful and pale face, feeling heartbroken.
He scanned it with his mind and determined that Bai Xiashuang had only broken a few ribs and injured internal organs. At this moment, he had taken top-level healing medicine and was recovering, so he felt relieved.
"Lu Lang, Lu Lang~"
In her deep sleep, Bai Xiashuang showed a trace of fear on her face and murmured softly. Lu Li quickly grabbed her hand and said in her ear: "Shuang'er, I'm here, don't be afraid."
When Bai Xiashuang heard the voice, she slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Lu Li's face, tears suddenly poured out of her eyes. She cried and said, "Lu Lang, you are finally here. I, I almost couldn't see you."
"Yeah, don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you!"
Lu Li smiled and stroked Bai Xiashuang's hand, and said very firmly: "Shuang'er, don't worry, no matter who hurts you this time, I will help you kill them all to avenge you."
"Um!"
Bai Xiashuang put her arms around Lu Li's waist and cried aggrievedly. Lu Li comforted her for a while, but Bai Xiashuang fell asleep again because she was too weak.
After Bai Xiashuang fell asleep, Lu Li strode out and asked the collateral lady and the maid to serve. He glanced at the two soul slaves and said in a cold voice, "Tell me, what's going on?"
The two were Earth Immortals from the Feng family in the Earth Emperor Realm. A pale-haired old man replied: "Sir, when we went to attack a spiritual vein, there was actually a maze formation there. As soon as we entered the vicinity of the spiritual vein, the formation immediately opened.
Then hundreds of strong men rushed out, and there were two Earth Immortals inside. Hundreds of people all targeted Mrs. Frost and attacked her. Although we tried our best to protect her, Mrs. Frost was still injured."
Another Feng Family Earth Immortal added: "This was a premeditated attack. The target was Mrs. Shuang, and they couldn't hit her, so they retreated immediately. Because Mrs. Shuang was injured, we didn't dare to pursue them rashly, so we all escaped for them."
Already..."
"You did the right thing!"
Lu Li nodded slightly. Bai Xiashuang was the most important. Some of the remaining members of the Ji family could be killed slowly if they escaped. If something happened to Bai Xiashuang, it would be meaningless to kill everyone in the Ji family.
Lu Li pondered for a moment and asked, "My sister said that you went deep alone and went your own way? What's going on?"
The old man of the Feng family showed a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes and said: "The commander-in-chief of this army heard that there is endless wealth in this spiritual vein, and also heard that someone here was secretly transferring spiritual stones. He immediately led an army to attack overnight. Mrs. Shuang was simple-minded and did not think too much about it.
Miss Duo. Ling just asked us to protect Mrs. Frost, so we can’t say anything more..."
Lu Li probably understood. He looked outside and shouted coldly: "Lu Fengyun, come in!"
The commander, deputy commander, and general of this army were all outside. When they heard Lu Li's shouting, they immediately filed in. A middle-aged Human Emperor strode in. He immediately led others to kneel down and said sadly: "Young Master Li, we are guilty and have caused Madam Shuang to be harmed."
If you suffer, please punish me."
Lu Li sat in the main seat with an expressionless face. He locked his gaze on Lu Fengyun and did not let him get up. He said in a deep voice: "Lu Fengyun, why did you disobey my sister's order? The army went deep alone and the enemy set up a maze. Why didn't you send scouts?
Exploring?”
"I, I..."
Lu Fengyun has a majestic appearance and extraordinary bearing, but at this moment he hesitated and said after a long time: "This subordinate is at fault. In order to seize the spiritual vein, I was too impatient and fell into the enemy's plot. I deserve death..."
"Hey~"
At this moment, a figure floated outside. Lu Li glanced at it and discovered that it was actually an elder of the Qingluan tribe. Lu Li also knew this elder. He was the new breakthrough of the Qingluan tribe in the monarch realm, Ye Tiao.
