Chapter 842: Karma
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The moment Ji Zhantian was killed, the city fell into a deadly and unmoving silence. Everyone was looking at Lu Li, the young man in a cyan robe.
From today on, this young man would be standing at the peak of the human race. He had become the most powerful person of the human race. He had the ultimate power of dictating people’s life or death, and families’ doom and destruction.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement took a moment to collect himself. Eventually, he called over the patriarchs. Taking the lead, he dropped to one knee, lowered his head and said, “Grand Master!”
“Grand Master!”
The dozens of patriarchs shouted. Following them, warriors on the ground knelt down one by one. In the city, people shouted at the top of their voice, “Grand Master!”
Lu Li was the new Grand Master appointed by Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Young as Lu Li was, he could kill Ji Zhantian already. Nobody challenged him as the Grand Master.
Lu Renhuang did not kneel. He was not one of the Demon-slaying Hall and he was not sure what had happened. Even so, he already had a theory of his own.
He felt proud and confident, and a bit embarrassed at the same time. His grandfather was kneeling before his son. This… was strange!
“Great Grandfather, Great Grandfather Three, Grandpa Jiang, please, stand up.”
This was too much for Lu Li as well. Two of the three were progenitors from his family and one was Jiang Qiling’s grandfather. He could not let them bow to him.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement stood up at once. But the other patriarchs did not have the courage to do so. It was the Hall of Patriarchs that passed the resolution to go after Lu Li. Even though many of those patriarchs voted abstain, they did not exactly take Lu Li’s side either. They remained on their knees to offer an apology.
“Please get up!”
Lu Li was not in the mood to deal with those patriarchs that were on the fence. Enough had been killed today. Almost all the patriarchs of Ji Zhantian’s side had died.
Lu Li looked at Mengtian. With psychic power, he sensed that in a mansion in the city, Yang Xuan, Die Feiyu, Yang Yu and Sha the Terror were staying together. They were looking at him in horror. A glint of murderous intent rose in Lu Li’s heart.
Looking at Ji Mengtian, Lu Li said, “Ji Mengtian, how many have joined in your plan to murder me? Tell me their names, all of their names. Or else, I will make sure that you regret ever being born.”
At the moment, strangely, Ji Mengtian was completely calmed down. She did not kneel like those patriarchs. Instead, she stood in midair quietly. “Winner takes it all. There is nothing to tell. Just end this,” she said coldly.
“You want to end it now? It’s not that easy!”
Lu Li sneered in contempt. He signaled Uncle Nine of Jun Family who dashed to Ji Mengtian before she could react.
“Eh?”
She felt a big hand gripping her neck. A strand of energy was transferred into her body. She shivered in fear because she knew that at this moment, she could not even commit suicide.
“Yes!”
Uncle Nine of Jun Family had Ji Mengtian in control. He put his hand over her head and started searching for her soul.
“Oh no…”
The glow in Lu Suan’s eyes died down. All the information would be leaked the moment Ji Mengtian’s soul was searched. He could not escape death, either.
Xiao Conglong, Sha the Terror and Yang Xuan felt desperate as well. Ji Mengtian was the mastermind. Her soul was searched and there was no more secret.
After a moment, Uncle Nine of Jun Family stopped and nodded to Lu Li. Waving his hand, Lu Li said, “Patriarch Jiang, take Ji Mengtian down. Go to the plaza and wait for my order!”
Jiang Tianshun called over another patriarch who took over Jiang Qiling, chained her up and took her to the plaza.
“Tell me the names!”
Lu Li said to Uncle Nine of Jun Family with no emotion. Then, he told Jiang Tianshun, “Every name he says, take that person down. Kill anyone who dares to fight back!”
“Yes!”
Lu Li was the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall now. His order was the highest order. Jiang Tianshun would never stop Lu Li from punishing those people. Truth be told, he would eagerly look forward to Lu Li killing more…
“Lu Suan!”
The first name Uncle Nine of Jun Family said was Lu Suan, which surprised even Lu Li. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was confused. All of a sudden, he understood and looked to Great Grandfather Three. The latter sighed in regret, bowed and said, “I am sorry. I was not thinking clearly. Lu Suan’s soul… was not rebuilt.”
“Get him!”
Lu Li yelled. Jiang Tianshun dashed to a castle in person and took Lu Suan out. Lu Li did not even look at Lu Suan when he said, “Take him over there!”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Lu Suan burst into laughter. “Lu Li, you are one lucky guy. For this, I respect you. But that is the only thing I will admit,” said Lu Suan calmly.
“Sometimes, luck is part of the power. You lost and that is the fact. Do not find any excuses.” Lu Li gave Lu Suan a cold glance but said nothing else.
“Yang Xuan, Xiao Conglong, Sha the Terror, Die Feiyu…”
Uncle Nine of Jun Family went through the list of names. As he did so, Jiang Tianshun and the other patriarchs went over and took those people down one by one. They were all chained up and were escorted to the plaza to wait.
Soon, all the young masters and young ladies that were part of this plot were captured. As for those patriarchs that joined in the plan, they had already been killed.
Making sure that nobody else was on the list, Lu Li said, “Then let me add a few more. Yang Bucheng, Che the Terror, Granny Butterfly. Come out and face your doom.”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
Yang Bucheng, Che the Terror and Granny Butterfly flew out from a yard. They were all dejected and somber. Staring at Lu Li, Yang Bucheng said, “Lu Li, I will not waste much time. I only hope you can let the Yang Family live. After all, they have done nothing wrong.”
“Sure!”
Waving his hand, Lu Li said, “Don’t worry. I believe due process towards justice. When all of you pass away, my dispute with your families and race will come to an end.”
“Grand Master, a promise is a promise!”
Granny Butterfly bowed. Then, she fell down silently into the plaza. When people went and checked, there was no life in her anymore.
“This is karma. What goes around, comes around!”
Yang Bucheng sighed and then raised his hands to smash at his own forehead. Che the Terror did the same thing! They fell down from the sky and landed right next to Granny Butterfly.
“Granny…”
A rain of tears coursed down Die Feiyu’s cheeks. She cried her heart out. Yang Xuan and Yang Yu were in grief. But they did know that crying and shouting would not do them any good now. It would be their turn soon.
“Stop crying!”
Lu Li was irritated by the crying. “Die Feiyu, in the small battlefield, you cried when something happened. At the Samsara City, it was also you that cried. And you are doing it again now. if you are scared, and you know what is going to happen by opposing me, then why do you constantly involve yourself? Why do you have to plot against me? Yang Buchen was not wrong. Life is like this and what goes around, comes around. The day you plotted against me, you should have thought about this. You have yourselves to blame. Patriarch Jiang, kill them all, everyone!” Lu Li shouted.
Jiang Tianshun sent Patriarch of Law Enforcement a look who remained emotionless and had no intention of begging for mercy. Jiang Tianshun made up his mind and said, “Execute them, now!”
“Clank, clank~”
It was a glint and flash of cold steel. In front of countless people in the city, more than a dozen honorable disciples were beheaded. Those blessed sons and daughters were executed.
Blood tainted the plaza as it continued streaming into a river. The pungent smell of blood lingered on and on…
