Chapter 82

【Latest Broadcast】Tomorrow is May 15th, the anniversary of Qidian, the day with the most benefits. Besides the gift packages, this year's '515 Red Envelope Frenzy' is definitely worth watching. Why would anyone miss out on red envelopes? Set your alarms!

"Little Sister Zilanyi, do you know that young man?"

Hearing the murmurs of the girl with the jade flute, the girl in the light yellow dress turned her gaze over. The girl with the jade flute shook her head and said, "Yeyuhan, I've only met him once. This young man... is quite unusual, but it's a pity he hasn't awakened a powerful bloodline."

The few strong figures in golden battle armor nearby all nodded in agreement. They could easily see the unusual qualities of Luli. He had just broken through to the Divine Sea Realm but could already possess such speed and strength, making him a prodigy. However... without a powerful bloodline, Luli had little value in their eyes and was not worth recruiting.

Zilanyi deeply agreed. Their Zijia family was not short of talent. Countless geniuses and strong figures from the Northern Desert wanted to join their Zijia family. Without a powerful bloodline, one didn't even have the资格 to step through the gates of the Zijia family.

...

"Damn it, he's actually wearing a Rank Earth battle armor!"

In the Western Courtyard of the Liu family, Luli strode forward. He had already chased Zhao Rui for several miles, striking him three times, but he couldn't break Zhao Rui's battle armor. Lu Ling had ordered him to capture Zhao Rui alive, so he didn't aim for the head, only thinking of severely injuring him.

"Father, save me!"

Zhao Rui kept shouting as he ran, feeling the scent of death after being struck three times by Luli. If it weren't for the Rank Earth battle armor he was wearing, he would have died three times already.

He knew very well that if the Zhao family didn't send a strong figure to save him, Luli would definitely not give him a chance to escape. He would surely die.

He didn't want to die. He was the future young master of Wuling City, with a bright future ahead. The world was so beautiful, and there were so many beautiful women. He hadn't even had the chance to enjoy them, how could he die now?

"Whoosh!"

A black shadow shot over from the Southern Courtyard at a terrifying speed. The emergency signal flare he had just thrown had worked. When he saw a familiar face, he immediately burst into tears and shouted, "Elder Qing, save me!"

The fireworks were the Zhao family's emergency signal flare. The Zhao family had been alarmed and sent a strong figure to rescue him. This was a powerful elder from the outer hall, a late-stage Divine Sea Realm expert. Luli had just broken through to the Divine Sea Realm, and once Elder Qing arrived, Luli would definitely be easily killed.

"Late-stage Divine Sea Realm? Damn it!"

Luli cursed under his breath, gritted his teeth, and increased his speed. He swung the Tianlin Blade and struck heavily at Zhao Rui's leg.

Lu Ling had ordered him to capture Zhao Rui alive, but now it was impossible to capture him unharmed. He could only cripple Zhao Rui first. Although a cripple might not stop the Zhao family's pursuit, it was better than a corpse.

"Brat, do you dare?"

The black shadow running from a distance saw Luli's actions and roared in rage, but Luli treated his words as nothing, continuing to swing the Tianlin Blade.

"Ah!"

Luli was too fast, and Zhao Rui couldn't avoid it. He had a Rank Earth mystical weapon battle armor on his body, but not on his legs. In a fit of rage, Luli's blade directly severed Zhao Rui's right leg. Zhao Rui let out a惨叫 and rolled on the ground, clutching his leg.

"Master Rui? Little brat, I'll tear you apart!"

Elder Qing of the Zhao family was already less than a few hundred meters away. He leaped from one pavilion to another, closing the distance. The terrifying killing aura emanating from his body made the raindrops seem to fall more slowly.

...

The rain wasn't slowing down; it was gradually becoming lighter. The storm had been fierce, but it stopped just as quickly.

"The rain is stopping?"

In the main hall courtyard, Lu Ling, standing at the door, murmured. She suddenly leaned on her cane and walked out. Liu Yi was startled and asked, "Miss Lu, where are you going? It's very dangerous outside!"

Lu Ling glanced southeast and said, "My brother seems to be in trouble. I need to go and help him."

Luli had been chasing Zhao Rui for a while. With Luli's combat strength, he should have already captured Zhao Rui alive. The signal flare that just lit up was clearly Zhao Rui calling for help from a strong figure in his family.

When Liu Yi saw the signal flare, she was also somewhat worried, but her combat strength was weaker than Luli's, and she was ordered to guard the West Gate. She couldn't leave.

Lu Ling ignored her and walked quickly with her cane. Liu Yi thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and caught up to Lu Ling, saying, "Miss Lu, I'll take you there."

Liu Yi didn't know what help Lu Ling could provide, or what the outcome would be if she went. Instinctively, she wanted to help Lu Ling and Luli.

Perhaps the siblings had brought her too much shock that night, and she subconsciously wanted to get closer to them.

Lu Ling walked too slowly, with no combat strength and a lame leg. After a few steps, she suddenly said, "Miss Yi, can you carry me and find my brother as quickly as possible?"

"Sure!"

Liu Yi didn't hesitate, immediately carrying Lu Ling and sprinting toward the direction of the signal flare.

...

The battle in the Western Courtyard had already ended, but the battle at the main gate of the Southern Courtyard was just beginning.

Both sides' Soul Pond Realm experts and all Divine Sea Realm warriors had been mobilized. The Xuanwu Realm warriors had been fighting fiercely, with bodies piled high.

At the South Gate, the four major families had deployed a thousand Xuanwu Realm warriors, and the Liu family also had over a thousand. Now, both sides had suffered more than half casualties.

The rainwater on the square inside the South Gate had turned blood red, with severed limbs and countless severely injured people lying in pools of blood, screaming and rolling in pain. The scene was exceptionally bloody and terrifying.

The Liu family had three Soul Pond Realm warriors, but the family head was still unconscious and had not joined the battle.

The Great Elder and Second Elder of the Liu family were fighting the family heads of the Zhao and Lu families. However, the Liu family had not only two Soul Pond Realm experts but also an unfamiliar brown-haired old man fighting the family heads of the Chen and He families.

This unfamiliar brown-haired old man was an external aid hired by the Liu family. The Liu family had spent a huge price to hire him, almost giving away most of the family's wealth.

Unfortunately...

The family heads of the four major families were all Soul Pond Realm experts, one more than the Liu family. The four major families were second-tier families, but that didn't mean they lacked Soul Pond Realm experts. The family heads of the four major families were all Soul Pond Realm experts.

A family with three Divine Sea Realm warriors was a second-tier family, and a family with three Soul Pond Realm warriors was a third-tier family.

This was the classification of family power in the Northern Desert. If a family had only two Soul Pond Realm warriors, it would still be considered a second-tier family, similar to the situation of the four major families.

Four against three!

Even though the Soul Pond Realm expert hired by the Liu family had reached the peak of the Soul Pond Realm, the Liu family was still struggling. The hired brown-haired old man could barely hold his own against two opponents, the Great Elder of the Liu family had the upper hand against Zhao Gui, but the Second Elder was being pressed by the family head of the Lu family...

The key was...

The four major families had more Divine Sea Realm warriors than the Liu family. The Liu family's warriors were low in morale, and many were even fighting half-heartedly, ready to retreat at any moment.

Lord Yu had arrived and was now seated in the Zhao family's main courtyard. Even if he didn't act, he was like a mountain pressing down on everyone's heads.

The intimidation of a fifth-tier family elder, a top expert in the Northern Desert's War God List, was not to be underestimated.

"Bang!"

The Great Elder released a mystical force blade, forcing Zhao Gui back. He scanned the surroundings, his eyes showing determination, and shouted to the rear, "Elder Eighteen!"

In a castle room, an elderly man with gray hair heard the Great Elder's shout and reluctantly took out a pill, giving it to a thin, elderly man lying in bed.

The pill was a top-grade pill, an eighth-rank Earth-grade pill, worth a fortune. The elderly man lying in bed was the family head of the Liu family. Taking this top-grade pill had a high chance of waking him up.

However...

The pill's power was too strong, and the Liu family head's current body couldn't withstand it. Even if he was forcibly awakened, he could only launch a few attacks before dying completely.

The Liu family was in its final moments, and the Great Elder couldn't afford to hesitate. He could only force Elder Eighteen to awaken the Liu family head.

A moment later, the Liu family head's eyes slowly opened.
