To Be Celestial's Emperor II
The Li Family
On the next day, surprisingly the four demon generals appeared together somewhere. Simultaneously the destruction on the Origin plain occurred. This was because aside from the four demon generals, there were also 6 other demons whose strength was slightly weaker than the demon generals.
What was even more shocking was, each of those 10 demons commanded 10 to 15 Mortal cultivators. Soon the central region became a battleground between mankind and demons.
Zhen Yuan had just arrived in Shen kingdom, he had not even come to any of the 3 great families that were there when the great war broke out. Although the central region is much stronger than the other 2 regions but it does not rule out the possibility if there are no weak people there.
With the vastness of the central region made the cultivators of every kingdom as well as the palace unable to act quickly. They could only defend the territory that was around them.
“Why do the devil make war so suddenly? Did they find out about the disappearance of one of their generals?” elder Huang asked.
On the way, Zhen Yuan had told him a few things related to the demon race. Such a great war would usually be the last resort for the demons when they had been pressed. Moreover the demon nation had just recovered from its seal so their strength had yet to reach its peak. It would be very detrimental if they fought a big war with their conditions that are still weak.
“I don't know either, but it's better if we head soon to one of the 3 big families in this kingdom.” Zhen Yuan glanced at elder Bai.
Elder Bai nodded, he was a former main guard troop as well as the elder of the administration pavilion so matters like this were very easy for him. “Among the three great families, the Li family from the Iron Body city became the closest. Sir over here!” Elder Bai moved quickly westward, Zhen Yuan immediately followed him as did elder Huang and the second elder.
Sure enough, it was not until fifteen minutes they passed through so many cities and small kingdoms, the four of them arrived at an extremely majestic large city. Since the Mortal cultivator was able to send a telepathic message, Zhen Yuan had elder Huang search for Li Pinggo's whereabouts.
According to Zhen Yuan's estimation, Li Pinggo should have become a current Mortal cultivator after a few years ago he gave him a top quality Soul Essence Pill. Sure enough, moments later elder Huang received a reply from Li Pinggo and told him to wait at the entrance of the city.
The atmosphere at the entrance of the city was also somewhat crowded, due to the large number of Soul cultivators as well as spirits who came out and entered. They all seemed busy because they were sent to guard the areas owned by the Li family.
The great wars between demons and humans always took countless casualties, Zhen Yuan saw one by one people coming out of the city, hope that one or two of them can return safely.
“Master Zhen!” One of them greeted me respectfully.
Zhen Yuan recognized the person who greeted him, it was none other than Li Pinggo. Grand elder of the Li family. With a small smile and nod, the young man replied.
Li Pinggo accidentally saw the three people behind Zhen Yuan, he was stunned as the three of them exuded a mortal aura even one of them was stronger than him. Of course, he recognized the two of them a little because he had met when the central palace pill competition.
Just as the other party was observing him, Zhen Yuan also glanced at the muscular young figure behind grand elder Li. Feeling noticed the figure then clenched his hands then bowed respectfully to Zhen Yuan.
“Li Gomu saluted master Zhen and the three Venerable Mortal”
Li Pinggo chuckled softly, he introduced Li Gomu was the grandson of patriarch Li and also the number one genius of the family.
Zhen Yuan noticed Li Gomu in more detail. Li Gomu was at least 25 to 28 years old. His strength also being at the 5th layer of the Soul realm proved that he indeed deserved to be the number one genius of a great family. Even Shu Lian and Bald Kun only reached layer 5 when they were over 30 years old.
“Take this as our meeting gift” Zhen Yuan chuckled softly giving a storage pouch containing several Soul pills, he acted like an elder with an even younger age than Li Gomu. Yet the latter was not even bothered and took his reward with pleasure.
After a brief introduction, Li Pinggo invited them all into Iron Body City. Zhen Yuan could feel the alert status on every guard and cultivator present in the city. Wars with the nobility were spread throughout the central region so they had to be ready at all times in case of an imminent attack.
“I'm sorry that the patriarch cannot meet and meet you, because of the great war, the Shen kingdom has asked the generals and ministers of the kingdom to come together. In this city, it might just be left to me alone as a Mortal” cultivator Li Pinggo said with a little worry.
Zhen Yuan also understood why the atmosphere of the city was so serious, this was because all the existing Mortal cultivators were ordered to gather somewhere except Li Pinggo.
