“What?”

Lu Li’s heart shivered as he looked at Prajna’s deep eyes. She wanted to follow him to the Divinity. She would make efforts throughout her lifetime to become an immortal and go to him.

How affectionate she was.

For a moment, Lu Li did not know what to say. He was moved. Even so, he tried to talk her out of it, “Prajna, listen to me. You are young and you don’t know what love is. Maybe, you just have the desire... to be close to me. Maybe, there is some admiration. But that is not love. There are so many quality guys in the world. Get to know them. You will see that even with one less man in the world, it is still a beautiful place.”

“That is what I often say to the young masters that seek my love. Brother Lu, if you don’t like me, just say so...”

Prajna smiled a mocking smile. “I know the world has many quality men. But I practice Zen and I believe in fate. The first time I met you I believed we are destined to be together. Or maybe, Brother Lu, you are the trial in my life. If I cannot go past this trial, I will never become a Buddha. If so, then let me be spellbound. Brother Lu, I think I am going to be spellbound by you.”

“Spellbound by me? Obsessed with me?”

Lu Li touched his nose, speechlessly. The young lady was stubborn. More importantly, since she practiced Zen, she would never abandon her belief.

Looking at Prajna, at her pure eyes, Lu Li came up with a compromise. “Fine, Prajna, I promise you that if you can become an immortal, you can go and look for me. But you have to promise me that if you cannot become an immortal in 30 years, you will forget me and find a decent man at the Great Land, marry him and move on.”

“Okay!”

Prajna answered readily with a smile, like a child that had received her favorite toy. Her affectionate looks at Lu Li almost melted him. After a pause, she said in a weak voice, “Brother Lu, can I hug you? Just for a second!”

Lu Li smiled. He reached out his hands and accepted Prajna into his arms. She trembled and held her arms around him.

Lu Li’s motion was gentle. But with Prajna’s effort, their bodies were pressed against each other. Lu Li could feel the softness of her skin and her distinct fragrance.

After the time for half an incense stick to burn, Prajna let him go. Gazing at Lu Li, she said, “Brother Lu, I will go back now. Remember our deal. I will see you at the Divinity.”

With that said, Prajna turned away. She walked out of the temple, kicked on the ground and flew up. In the air, she looked back with a beautiful smile that took Lu Li’s breath away.

“Alas...”

Prajna was gone but Lu Li was troubled. Love was fatal. It was the truth.

If it were anyone else, Lu Li wouldn’t have come. But how could he hurt Prajna, she was such a sweet girl? Yet, without being cruel, he might cost happiness in her entire life.

If after he went to the Divinity, he could not come back and Prajna could not become an immortal, she might miss him throughout her life. In the end, she might leave the world with depression.

Prajna was talented. She was only 18 and had reached the Human Sovereign Realm. But there was a world of difference between Human Sovereign Realm and the immortality. Not even warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm, let alone the Human Sovereign Realm or Earth Immortal Realm could be sure of becoming an immortal.

“Forget about it!”

Lu Li shook his head to put aside such troubling matters. Maybe, it was predestined fate. He could not speculate Prajna’s ideas and could only let nature take its course.

Back to the lakeside, Lu Li said nothing. Bai Qiuxue and Jiang Qiling didn’t ask about anything. Bai Xiashuang had questions but since advised not to ask by Bai Qiuxue, she pretended nothing had happened.

Lu Li stayed with his three wives for a couple of more days and decided to leave. He didn’t achieve any progress for several days. He thought it was better that they could have a change of view.

The four of them set off on another tour and enjoyed endless views. They even lived in a tribe hidden away in the forests to have a taste of retiring from the world.

Two months later, the four of them came to a big city, only to witness a tragic scene. There were warriors fighting outside the city. Both sides had at least tens of thousands of warriors with quite a number of Noble Lord Realm warriors and some Human Sovereign Realm warriors.

It seemed that the battle had been lasting for quite some time. The total number of casualties on both sides had exceeded ten thousand. The area outside the city was like a living hell, quite appalling.

Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang took a few looks, paled. Even though Jiang Qiling had witnessed many battles herself before, she didn’t experience any fights recently. She was not okay to see such a disastrous scene.

“Well?”

Lu Li pulled a long face. How could he not know that there was such a huge matter at the Great Land? Was it negligence on Lu Zhengyang’s part or someone was just audacious?

Since they were touring, Lu Li had changed his looks. Jiang Qiling and the twins disguised themselves as well and they all wore masks. Not even Human Sovereign Realm warriors could see through their disguises.

Lu Li restrained his energy. Jiang Qiling’s realm was high as well. Though many powerful warriors used psychic power to check, they could not find out the truth of Lu Li and Jiang Qiling. But Bai Qiuxue’s energy was strong and people could tell. Bai Xiashuang was at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm, qualified as a powerful warrior.

A Noble Lord Realm flew over with a kind attitude. He cupped his fists and said, “Guys, we are from the Zhao Family of the Western Fate Mountain. We are trying to breach the Flames City. If you are just passing by, please do not intervene and leave.”

“Zhao Family of the Western Fate Mountain?”

Lu Li looked at Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue. Both were confused as well. This Zhao Family must not be a famous family. Since they had Human Sovereign Realm warriors, this Zhao Family should be of the sixth and seventh family.

After a moment, Lu Li said, “I don’t care if you are the Zhao Family or Li Family. Why have you started a fight for no reason? So many people have died.”

As Lu Li remembered it, the Great Land should be peaceful. Under the rule of Lu Family, the forces shouldn’t be able to create trouble. The worst was some sneak attacks. How could there be a massive fight? What were they thinking?

Lu Li didn’t know that Patriarch of Law Enforcement had deemed a piece of land as unoccupied and allowed families to fight over it. During this time, Lu Li never worried about the places he went to during his trip.

He had wandered to the heart of the Great Land and just so happened to run into two families fighting over territories...

The Noble Lord Realm warrior was angered to hear Lu Li’s bossy words. Who did this man think he was? The unoccupied land was filled with fights and many families were trying to cut a share, which was allowed by the Demon-slaying Hall. Not even a distinguished family could say otherwise.

Zhao Family was a seventh rank one that used to belong to the Palace of Immortal’s Inquires. Since Patriarch of Law Enforcement said anyone could fight over the unoccupied land, Zhao Family naturally wanted to take advantage to develop.

Zhao Family even threw itself into the lap of a patriarch from the Lu Family. Zhao Family promised to offer a certain amount of interest to this patriarch every year. Hence, the Zhao Family was confident.

Seeing that Lu Li was being insensible, the Noble Lord Realm warrior said with wrath, “I said go. Don’t give me this nonsense. Don’t say I haven’t alerted you if you don’t leave and are killed later. As for the three beauties with you, ha, ha...”

“Whoosh~”

Before the Noble Lord Realm warrior finished his words, Lu Li had smashed him. How could a Noble Lord Realm warrior stand Lu Li’s attack? This man was smashed into the ground, ripped away.

Lu Li was never a man of good temper. He could stand humiliation on his own, but he would never treat anyone nicely if they humiliated Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue, and Bai Xiashuang. Even wiping out the Zhao Family was a child’s play for Lu Li, let alone killing a Noble Lord Realm.

“What~”

Lu Li’s action alerted many warriors in the distance. Zhao Family warriors flew over in fury when they saw a warrior of their own was killed.
