Chapter 77

The guest hall was not far from the West Gate. It was quite large, with dozens of small courtyards inside, but there were no women or children at the moment. Cheng Qu's wife and the families of the other guest scholars had already been evacuated.

A few days ago, Cheng Qu had asked Lu Ling if she wanted to be evacuated from the city, but Lu Ling refused. She was very clear that while Cheng Qu's wife and the others could leave, she could not leave the Liu family; otherwise, Di Ba would definitely come after her first.

Teams of martial artists leaped up, jumping onto the rooftops of the guest hall. However, as they leaped up, they noticed faint firelight in a few of the rooms. Due to the heavy rain, the houses were not completely burning, so thick smoke was billowing out.

"What's going on?"

Liu Yi frowned and scanned Lu Ling's courtyard, only to see a woman in a light veil standing at the door, calmly looking at them with a cane.

"Lu Ling?"

Liu Yi was taken aback again. If Lu Ling was still here, it meant Lu Li hadn't fled. If he hadn't fled, why wasn't he fighting?

"Uncle Cheng, come here!" Lu Ling called out to Cheng Qu, who looked at Liu Yi. The latter nodded slightly, and Cheng Qu turned into a black shadow and rushed into Lu Ling's room.

Liu family martial artists swarmed in, all entering the guest hall courtyard. Behind them, Zhao Rui led Di Ba and a group of people, closely following. This time, Liu Yi didn't let anyone retreat; the bloody battle began again.

Cheng Qu quickly came out of the room and quietly handed Liu Yi a pill that looked very bad. He whispered in Liu Yi's ear, "Those rooms are burning Purple Erosion Grass. This is the antidote, take it quietly."

Cheng Qu then rushed to several other Liu family Sea Realm martial artists, giving each of them a pill and telling them to take it without any explanation.

The martial artists of the four families felt something was wrong. Di Ba glanced around and suddenly remembered something, shouting, "The rooms are burning Purple Erosion Grass, retreat!"

Lu Ling had burned Purple Erosion Grass in the Di Long tribe before, and Di Ba had heard about it. Seeing Cheng Qu give the Liu family Sea Realm martial artists pills, he immediately understood.

"Stop them!"

Liu Yi roared, a powerful aura emanating from her body as she personally took action. The nearby Liu family martial artists looked at her in shock; had Liu Yi broken through to the Sea Realm?

Liu Yi used the whip she had carried before, which coiled around a Sea Realm martial artist from the Lu family like a venomous snake.

Cheng Qu was also a Sea Realm powerhouse, leading everyone to pounce like fierce tigers, desperately entangling the martial artists of the four families to prevent them from retreating from the guest hall.

"What a pity..."

Lu Ling looked out the window, sighing slightly. The heavy rain today slowed the spread of the smoke. With Di Ba seeing through her plan immediately, the Purple Erosion Grass might have some effect, but it wouldn't be significant.

"Go inside and put out the fire!"

Seeing many people entangled, Zhao Rui decisively ordered people to go to the smoking rooms and extinguish the fire. With such heavy rain tonight, putting out the fire wouldn't be difficult. Once the fire was out, the Purple Erosion Grass would be useless.

Immediately, over a dozen Xuanwu Realm martial artists covered their noses and rushed into the rooms, preparing to remove all the Purple Erosion Grass and let the rain extinguish it.

"Ahh..."

As soon as the dozen people entered, they all screamed in agony, and soon several of them were shot out, rolling on the ground. Zhao Rui and the others looked at them in horror.

The armor on the bodies of those rolling on the ground was being corroded, and white smoke was rising from their skin and muscles, clearly indicating they had been poisoned.

"This..."

Liu Yi and the others were also shocked. The corrosiveness of the poison was too strong; everyone's armor was being corroded with large holes. Many people's faces were completely burned, a terrifying sight.

"Who did this?"

Liu Yi looked at Cheng Qu, but he had a puzzled look on his face and glanced at the other guest scholars, who also looked bewildered.

"Could it be Lu Li's sister?"

Liu Yi recalled the calm, gem-like eyes of Lu Ling when she saw her earlier, and a thought formed in her mind.

"It must be her!"

Liu Yi also remembered the message Lu Ling had the guest scholar pass on and inwardly admired her.

Burning Purple Erosion Grass was nothing special, but being able to predict that Zhao Rui's people would enter the rooms and leaving a contingency plan, as well as creating such a powerful corrosive poison, this limping woman was truly remarkable.

"Smash the houses from the outside."

Zhao Rui roared again. If the houses collapsed, the rain would naturally seep in, but the people inside might be buried alive. With most people entangled, Zhao Rui couldn't afford to hesitate.

"Ha!"

Several Xuanwu Realm martial artists took action, kicking the houses down, burying the people inside. The heavy rain quickly seeped in, and the smoke dissipated significantly.

"Don't retreat, kill!"

Zhao Rui roared again, and the martial artists of the four families were filled with killing intent. They had inhaled very little of the Purple Erosion Grass smoke, so their Xuan Power wouldn't be disrupted, and it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

"What a pity."

Lu Ling sighed again, walked into the room, and poured a bucket of water on Lu Li's face. Lu Li, who had been sleeping, suddenly woke up, sat up, and his expression improved when he saw Lu Ling.

"Sister, what are you doing..."

He wiped his face, heard the sounds of battle outside, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Nothing much." Lu Ling smiled faintly. "The four families have already started their attack. Di Ba, Zhao Rui, and others have come to the guest hall. If you go out now, kill everyone except Zhao Rui."

"They're here?"

Lu Li leaped up, stood by the window, and carefully observed. The sky was dark, but the martial artists had released their Xuan Power, so Lu Li could see clearly.

"Di Ba, Zhao Rui, a total of six Sea Realm martial artists, five in the early Sea Realm, and one old man in the middle Sea Realm?"

Lu Li observed the situation outside clearly. On the Liu family side, including the newly broken-through Liu Yi, there were only five Sea Realm martial artists. On the four families' side, there were dozens more people, and the strength disparity was significant.

"Very good!"

Lu Li was fully awake. He didn't act rashly but sat down and examined his body internally. Confirming that his body was fine, his Xuan Power was abundant, and there were still over a dozen threads of Xuan Power in his Sea Realm, he stood up.

"Sister, I'm going out!" He picked up the Tian Lin Dao and looked at Lu Ling, who asked, "Are you sure?"

"No problem!"

Lu Li nodded and walked out. Xiao Bai, who was hiding in the corner, saw Lu Li about to leave and shot over, hiding in Lu Li's robe. Xiao Bai's sharp teeth could help in a sneak attack, and Lu Li didn't mind, as its small body wouldn't be a hindrance in his robe.

He pushed open the door and walked out, his feet splashing through the puddles, rushing toward the center of the battlefield like a shadowy fox.

The night was dark, and Lu Li didn't use his Xuan Power, so people far away couldn't see his face, only knowing that one person from the Liu family had joined the battle.

"Lu Li!"

Liu Yi glanced over, her beautiful eyes shining. Lu Li had finally joined the battle. She didn't know if the Liu family would win tonight, but the West Gate was definitely secure.

This young man's rise was too fast. A few months ago, he was still pulling the Liu family's coffin and was a waste who couldn't cultivate Xuan Power.

Recently, he had killed three Sea Realm martial artists from the Zhao family. Liu Yi believed that Lu Li would not disappoint her this time.
