The Invincible Dragon Emperor Chapter 132

When Ming Yu arrived, he knelt to Lu Li and said the greetings "Young Master". Lu Li accepted fully at ease. Then Lu Li immediately said, "Just in time. Kill all the warriors of the Blood Evil Island for me."

Right at that moment, all thought Lu Li was really Ming Yu’s Young Master and that Lu Li was very influential. Otherwise, how could he so calmly give orders to have Ming Yu kill those warriors?

Now, all the men were killed, but Lu Li said he was not Ming Yu’s Young Master? That he had only given those orders randomly? How could anyone not be speechless and feel the matter absurd?

After this feeling pa.s.sed, everyone felt chills running down their spines. If Lu Li were not Ming Yu’s Young Master, Ming Yu would feel fooled and used. Then the ending for everyone… would be tragic and gloom!

Ming Yu froze for a moment. He pondered about it, waved his hand and said, "All of you, leave the island."

"Yes, Lord. Everyone, go!"

It was just like Patriarch Seven and the others had heard the sound of Buddha. Patriarch Seven quickly arranged Liu Family disciples to carry the wounded warriors and walked towards outside of the island while supporting each other hurriedly.

Liu Yi looked towards Lu Li worriedly. Lu Li threw several jade talismans to Liu Yi and asked her to leave with the Green Dwarfs. He looked like he was going to meet his death like a hero and was ready to taste the wrath of Ming Yu.

In the time it took for merely two incense sticks to burn, all the Liu Family people had left. There were some people still in the Blood Evil Island in the distance, but who dared to get closer at Ming Yu’s presence?

Ming Yu ran down the area. After he made sure that there was n.o.body around, a smile climbed onto his face and he said, "Young Master, don’t lie to me. I have checked your background thoroughly. Your father is Lu Renhuang. He had done me great grace years back. I have made an oath that I would follow him. There are no outsiders now. You can be rest a.s.sured. I will not let any information out."

Lu Li, on the other hand, had a blank expression. He nodded and said, "Yes my father is called Lu Renhuang [1], but my sister said my father was only at the Spirit Sea Realm. He was bitten to death by a Third-rank Xuan Beast the year when I was born. How can you, such an important man, be indebted to him?"

"Lu Renhuang? Not the one I mentioned?"

The smile on Ming Yu’s face froze. He asked with a frown, "He was bitten to death by a Third-rank Xuan Beast? Are you sure? Your father should be a powerful warrior at the Human Sovereign Realm."

"I am sure!"

Lu Li said with certainty, "Many people at the Di Long Tribe know this. The year I was born, my parents went missing. My maternal grandpa told my sister that they were all bitten to death by a powerful Third-rank Xuan Beast. My maternal grandpa brought some powerful warriors in the tribe to seek revenge, but they were all killed by the Xuan Beast. You can ask those at the Di Long Tribe about this."

Lu Li’s words were mixed with lies and truth. He made up a story and changed the character in his father’s name, and the realm from Human Sovereign Realm to Spirit Sea Realm. His father didn’t die, but Lu Li said he was bitten to death by Xuan Beast…

All these were because of what Liu Yi said. Liu Yi told Lu Li that there were powerful warriors hiding nearby which altered Lu Li greatly.

If there were powerful warriors here observing, how could Ming Yu not know based on his ability? Even Liu Yi could sense the psychic power. There was no way that Ming Yu couldn’t detect it.

If so, why did Ming Yu indulge that powerful warrior to lurk around this area?

There could only be two explanations. Either Ming Yu was on the same side with that warrior or Ming Yu knew his presence but pretended otherwise.

Ming Yu was one of the Five Freaks of the Thousand-island Lake. He came and went all by himself, so Lu Li ruled the first possibility out. Then Ming Yu was aware that someone was lurking around here but acted as if he didn’t.

Why did he do so?

Also, if Ming Yu was indebted to Lu Li’s father, how come Ming Yu only came to Lu Li now? Lu Li’s information was easy to dig out. At least, after what happened at the Wu Ling County, his information had attracted the attention of many people. He had stayed at the Blood Dragon Island for such a long time. However, Ming Yu didn’t show himself all along, but he appeared at the most critical moment?

Everything was a cause for doubt for Lu Li!

Lu Ling once said that their father had a powerful foe at the Northern Desert and that Lu Li could not reveal his ident.i.ty. The year Lu Li was born, Lu Renhuang and fought against powerful enemies and killed them. How strong the enemies must be since they were fighting against Lu Renhuang, a warrior at the Human Sovereign Realm?

Therefore…

In a short span of time, Lu Li had made up his mind that he would not reveal his ident.i.ty, and that he would refuse to admit that he was Lu Renhuang’s son.

He was afraid that Ming Yu was sent by Lu Renhuang’s foes to inquire about Lu Renhuang’s information. Lu Li was fearful that when that foe knew Lu Renhuang was at the Ice Abyss, that man would conjure up a way to kill his father.

When Ming Yu heard Lu Li’s words, his eyebrows were knitted again. He suddenly started at Lu Li’s neck and carefully inspected it. Ming Yu asked, "Have you awaken some sort of Bloodline?"

Lu Li’s vigilance aroused. He shook his head firmly and said, "Lord, I once went to the Temple in Wu Ling County to try but in the end the Bloodline Awakening failed. This matter is known to many people. Also… I have no Bloodline mark. You know at my Realm, I cannot hide my Bloodline mark."

Lu Li’s lie was flawless. Indeed, there was no Bloodline mark on his neck. At his Realm, it was impossible for him to hide it inside his body.

"That is unlikely. How can a disciple of the Lu Family fail the Bloodline Awakening?"

Ming Yu murmured. Then an idea suddenly came to his mind. A ring in his hand glowed and a jade talisman appeared in his hand, like he just did a magic trick.

He handed the jade talisman to Lu Li and said, "This jade talisman was given to me by my benefactor. There is a trace of his bloodline in it. If you are the son of my benefactor, there will be reactions because you have the same bloodline. It will glow. Try and pour your Xuan Energy in."

"Buzzing~"

In the Golden Chariot parked in the sky, Madam Yan and Chief Steward Bai’s eyes lit up. They came here from a great distance just to find out Lu Li’s ident.i.ty. Now, Ming Yu took out a jade talisman belonged to Lu Renhuang. The answer was about to be revealed.

"Lu?"

Lu Li saw a "Lu" character lively and vigorous in calligraphy on the jade talisman. This one was the same with the one Lu Ling once showed him. Instantly, huge waves were tumbling in Lu Li’s mind. He thought quickly and struggled internally as to whether he should take the jade talisman or not.

Finally, Lu Li clenched his teeth and took over the jade talisman. He poured his Xuan Energy to the entire jade talisman. He thought internally that in case the jade talisman lit up, he would never say where Lu Renhuang was if Ming Yu asked about it. Worst comes to worst, Lu Li would die.

"Eh?"

The weirdest thing happened. Lu Li poured his Xuan Energy in, but the jade talisman didn’t have any glow coming out; in fact, there was not even a slightest change…

"Eh?"

Both Lu Li and Ming Yu were staring at the jade talisman and now a trace of astonishment showed up in their eyes. Ming Yu was not ready to drop the matter like that. He said, "Try it again?"

Lu Li was completely relieved. His Xuan Energy was poured out, but the jade talisman showed no trace of fluctuation.

Ming Yu grabbed the jade talisman and looked it over carefully. Then he stared at Lu Li’s neck coldly. After that, he shook his head with visible disappointment in his eyes and said, "So it is just a coincidence, gosh…"

With that said, Ming Yu kicked backwards with one leg, shot up to the sky, and landed on that giant Purple-eyed Fire Lion. The lion morphed into a red streak of light and flew to the distance. They vanished to the horizon soon.

"No?"

In the sky, the glow in Madam Yan’s eyes died out. Chief Steward Bai curled his lips and mumbled, "All the efforts are futile."

"Let’s go!"

Madam Yan waved her hand and the Golden Chariot flew towards the distance quietly. After Ming Yu left, Madam Yan never cast another glance towards Lu Li, as did Chief Steward Bai.

"Why did it not light up?"

Down below, Lu Li was confused. He kept thinking about the matter over and over in his head. Could it be there was something wrong with the jade talisman? Or was he actually not the son of Lu Renhuang?

Lu Li could not figure this out himself…

[1] The Chinese original of Lu Li’s father, Lu Renhuang is "陆人皇". Here, in order to confuse Ming Yu, Lu Li had said his father’s name was Lu Ren-huang "陆人荒", which is spelled the same in pinyin but with a different Chinese character and a different tone on "huang".
