The Lu family, the residence of the head of the family.
In a spacious hall, people chatting, laughing and clinking glasses come and go.
In order to celebrate his son's return, Lu Jintang specially ordered someone to prepare a fine banquet. All kinds of delicacies were placed on the large round table.
However, in such a lively atmosphere, Yin Wulu seemed very uncomfortable. Although the Lu family didn't care, he also felt that it was inappropriate for him to stay here. If Lu Li hadn't asked him to follow him, he would never have come. .
The people of the Lu family toasted Lu Li repeatedly, and Lu Li also accepted everyone who came and ate and drank freely.
Lu Xing also had a complicated look on his face at this time. He didn't expect that when they met again after parting ways that year, Lu Li would already be in the sky and on the ground with him.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for him to believe that there was such a peerless genius in the world.
However, he didn't know that the reason why Lu Li was able to achieve such an achievement was not due to any talent or luck, but because of his courage to travel around and fight hard. Otherwise, no matter how lucky he is, if he stays at home and doesn't move, nothing will fall directly on him.
From the fairy world to the demon world, from the demon world to the holy realm, and then from the holy realm to the demon world, this is something that most people dare not imagine, but Lu Li has experienced it all over the past few thousand years.
"Master Lu, what do you think of this demon extermination operation?" Lu Li suddenly changed the topic and looked at Lu Jintang and asked.
After hearing this, everyone immediately looked at Lu Jintang with different expressions.
The smiles on the faces of the three elders from the Lu family suddenly faded, and they frowned at the same time.
"Hey! It's okay if fellow Taoist doesn't talk about this. But when it comes to this, I really have a headache." Lu Jintang sighed, patted his forehead and said.
"Oh? How can I say this?"
"Fellow Daoist Lu doesn't know that two years ago, fellow daoists from Xuantian Palace came to visit us at Baiguan Mountain and asked our Bai family to help with the alliance's recruitment matters."
"Alliance recruitment matters?"
"Yes, the Demon Slayer Alliance has started to recruit soldiers. At this stage, we still adopt the independent registration method. However, according to Xuantian Palace, if the registration is not popular enough by then and the expectations are not met, compulsory recruitment may be necessary."
So fast?
Hearing this, Lu Li frowned immediately. The Demon Slayer Alliance actually recruited troops in the Yuzhu Immortal Domain. This was not good news for him.
"I wonder, what are the recruitment criteria for the Demon Slayer Alliance this time?" Lu Li asked after thinking about it.
Lu Jintang said with a headache: "According to the alliance's requirements, this time the standard is Xuanxian level."
"I don't know about other immortal realms, but for the Yuzhu Immortal Realm, their requirement is that there must be at least one million profound immortals, two hundred thousand golden immortals, fifty thousand immortal kings, and two hundred immortal kings."
"If this number is not reached within a hundred years, compulsory recruitment will be adopted. By then, in the entire Immortal Realm, anyone who has reached the realm of Xuanxian will have to participate in the war. Otherwise, they will be directly punished for the crime of defection!"
Fifty thousand Immortal Kings and two hundred Immortal Lords?
Lu Li felt that the Yuzhu Immortal Realm should be able to draw out Xuan Immortals and Golden Immortals.
But these 50,000 Immortal Kings and 200 Immortal Lords are no small sums.
This is probably because he wants to take away all the immortals in Yuzhu Immortal Domain.
"Does Master Lu know how many powerful immortals there are in Yuzhu Immortal Realm?" Lu Li said with a slight flicker of his eyes.
"I have a rough idea of the number of immortal-level strong men inherent in the thirty-sixth realm. The total number will never exceed one hundred and fifty. But for strong men like you, fellow Daoist Lu, who accidentally travel here, then It's hard to grasp." Lu Jintang replied thoughtfully.
"It won't be more than one hundred and fifty? Doesn't that mean that this compulsory recruitment is a definite one?" Lu Li secretly thought that it was indeed the case.
"To be honest with you, Fellow Daoist Lu, this is what I am worried about right now. Not to mention that there are not many powerful immortals in the Yuzhu Immortal Domain. Even if some races secretly hide old monsters, if they can gather so many immortals, I'm afraid They won't take the initiative to sign up to join the war. Because these foreign races are inherently disgusted with the seven major sects." Lu Jintang said, picking up the wine glass and taking a sip to relieve the boredom in his heart.
"What about your Lu family? Are you planning to sign up for everyone?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows.
"How is that possible! As far as we know, this so-called demon extermination operation is just a good show among the seven factions. Most of us will be just pawns of Xuantian Palace. If everyone participates in the war, I am afraid that even the family will be killed in the end. The bloodline will be cut off!" Great Elder Lu Shangyang took over the words with some annoyance.
"That's right, Xuantian Palace talks about the justice of the human race, but secretly hides its own little thoughts. It really treats us people as fools." Second Elder Lu Zhongping also agreed.
Seeing this, Lu Jintang just shook his head with a wry smile. The people of Xuantian Palace are not fools. Although they seem to have ignored Yuzhu Immortal Territory in recent years, in fact, they may have already understood the family background of each realm in Yuzhu Immortal Territory.
If the Lu family is hiding something secret, the final outcome may not be any better than joining the war.
"Then you are not afraid of Xuantian Palace's revenge?" After hearing the words of the two elders, Lu Li looked at the Great Elder Lu Shangyang with a change of expression.
When Lu Shangyang heard this, he suddenly became speechless.
They can indeed find a way to escape from Yuzhu Immortal Realm, but if the powerful Immortal Emperor takes action himself, where can they go?
Why!
Seeing this, Lu Li pretended to sigh and then fell silent.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you have anything to say?" Lu Jintang seemed to feel something when he saw this.
"Master Lu, have you ever thought about resisting?" Lu Li heard this and stared at Lu Jintang and asked.
"Resist?"
"Friend Lu Dao, aren't you joking? In this world where people who are not from the seven major sects cannot attain enlightenment, who can resist the seven major sects?" Lu Jintang said strangely.
To put it bluntly, the seven major sects still control the faith of this world. People like them have no chance of enlightenment, so they are destined to be unable to pose any threat to the seven major sects.
"Fellow Lu Dao, what you said makes sense. Speaking of this, I'm a little curious, why don't your Lu family join the seven major sects? Is this a better prospect?" Lu Li did not refute Lu Jintang, but suddenly changed the subject and asked .
Hearing this, Lu Jintang's face suddenly showed a troubled expression.
"Father, I can guarantee that Brother Lu is not from the Seven Sects, and he saved my life twice, so don't hide it from him!" Lu Xing, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said.
It seems that there seems to be some ulterior secret here.
"Ahem, I'm just asking casually. Master Lu, there's no need to be embarrassed. If it's inconvenient to say it, then forget it." Seeing this, Lu Li smiled softly, picked up the wine glass and said, "Here, let's continue drinking."
"That's all! Since you asked about it, Fellow Daoist Lu, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Lu Jintang sighed softly and continued: "Actually, this matter has to start with the true identity of our Lu family."
"Our Lu family has been passed down for countless years, and many people know that the Lu family is a well-known weapon-refining family."
"But few people know that our Lu family is far more than just a family of weapon refiners."
Seeing Lu Li staring at him curiously, Lu Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Our Lu family actually comes from an ancient sect, the Dingtian Sect."
"The Dingtian Sect was founded by refining weapons, and has countless strong men under its sect. It was also a famous existence in ancient times."
"However, during the Demon Extermination War that year, our Dingtian Sect ended up being paralyzed because the entire army participated in the battle."
"This is originally a fight for the fate of the human race. Even if there are heavy casualties, there is nothing to worry about. But..."
Speaking of this, Lu Jintang couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hatred in his eyes.
