Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The darkness that was looming over the Luo God Clan disappeared finally with the departure of the War Emperor. Everyone knew that the calamity that could destroy the clan was finally over.
While the countless citizens in the Luo God Clan were cheering, Xue Lingzi, along with the top powers from the Blood God Clan, fled Luo God City like beaten dogs. After they had reached a safe distance from the city, all of them looked at each other with dejected faces.
Then, the top powers from the Blood God Clan swarmed out, as they were ready to extinguish the entire Luo God Clan! Who could have thought that the Luo God Clan, which was supposed to meet its end, could have changed the tides?
”It's all Mu Chen's fault! What a scumbag!” Some of the top powers were enraged.
If it were not for Mu Chen, the Blood God Clan would have been the biggest winner today. But now, not only were they not the winner, they had even suffered a considerable loss!
Xue Lingzi's face had darkened entirely. The way he gritted his teeth showed that he hated Mu Chen deeply.
He knew very well that they had lost the perfect chance to extinguish the entire Luo God Clan because of Mu Chen. Such an opportunity would not come again.
Luo Tianshen, who almost died from the Blood Demon Poison, had also been saved by the Flame Emperor. Since he had purged the venom out of his body, he would be able to regain his strength once he rests enough. Besides this, the existence of Luo Li and Mu Chen struck fear in the Blood God Clan.
Luo Li had successfully obtained the Luo God Inheritance. She even cultivated her Luo God Celestial Body.
With such talent and potential, she really sent a chill to their hearts. With Luo Li around, the Luo God Clan, which was having internal and external problems, would be united together finally. In the future, the Luo God Clan would leave no chance for anyone to strike at them again!
On top of that, was the detestable Mu Chen! Not only did this fellow possess a domineering strength, but he also had the Mu Estate, which was stronger than their Blood God Clan. He even had a powerful network, so that he could call upon formidable people like the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor! With this kind of help, no one would dare to create trouble for the Luo God Clan in this Little Western Kingdom.
The eyes of Xue Lingzi flickered with coldness. He was clearly unwilling to resign himself to his defeat. He took one last look at the city and said forbiddingly, ”Let this lad be as cocky as he wants. When he enters the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereign, I'll make him regret meddling in our Blood God Clan business! Let's go!”
Xue Lingzi made a gesture after he uttered his harsh remark. He then brought all of the defeated troops out of the Luo God Clan.
When the Blood God Clan had escaped the city, the other forces who coveted the Luo God Clan secretly also took their leaves. They had long given up on the thought of reaping the advantages by watching the fight from both sides.
Some of the forces who used to share a good relationship with the Luo God Clan sprung up at this time. They crowded around Luo Tianshen, offering their congratulations and expressing their admiration shamelessly.
As everyone was very clear that the Luo God Clan would rise in the future, they figured that they might as well become friendly with the most powerful side. After all, they might even become one of the notable forces in all of the Western Kingdom Continent!
Luo Li and Mu Chen stayed together for a while in midair before they came down to where the Royal Division of the Luo God Clan was. Those clan members from the Royal Divisions seemed to be despairing when they saw the arrival of Luo Li.
All of them knelt and bowed. The three Lower Earthly Sovereign who had taken the lead were all looking pale and had wobbly legs. They knew their bets were a total failure this time.
”The three of you colluded with the Blood God Clan in an attempt to destroy the Luo God Clan. What do you have to say for yourselves now?” With an icy cold stare, asked coldly.
The three of them looked devastated. After a while, one of them replied with a dry throat, ”We were foolish to have succumbed to the temptation of the Blood God Clan. Luo King, you can deal with us any way you like, but we hope that you will let the other innocent people in the Royal Division go.”
They knew that they had committed a sin that was punishable by death. As such, no one would pity them if Luo Li punished them severely. Even the clanmates from the Royal Division might be cursing them from the bottom of their hearts at this very moment.
Clang!
Luo Li stared at the three people in front of her, her face showing no emotion. With a clang, the sharp and icy radiance on the Luo Shen Sword was pointing directly at their eyebrows. The harsh and sharp aura from the sword sent the three of them into complete despair.
But, just before the sword extinguished all of their lives, they suddenly saw Luo Li swing her arm. Three balls of light fell into their hands and became three silver pills.
”All of you should receive the death penalty, but the Luo God Clan has already wasted uncountable resources on your cultivations. If you were to die today, that would a waste of our clan's resources. But, even though you might escape the death penalty, you can't escape punishment altogether. Take this Luo Water Poison Pill. From now on, your achievements will atone for your sins. Are you willing to do accept this?” The three Lower Earthly Sovereigns were stunned for a moment when they heard Luo Li's cold voice.
They quickly knelt again and swallowed the silver pills immediately. They then cried out in unison, ”Thank you, Luo King, for your forgiveness. We're willing to do that!”
They knew the formidable effect of these Luo Water Poison Pills. One must take the antidote from Luo Li yearly once they took the pills. Otherwise, the Luo Water would erode their bodies completely.
