Lu Li posed the question. After a pause, Jiang Qiling gave him an explanation, "Actually, it is confidential information. Jiang Wuwo once told me about it. Don't tell anybody else."

Lu Li nodded. She continued, "I told you that according to a rule of the Demon-slaying Hall, once you are in, you are in for your life. You are not allowed to interfere in the disputes of the Great Land anymore. This is the most important rule of the Demon-slaying Hall. The one enforcing this rule is the Law Enforcement Patriarch, your great grandpa."

Lu Li did hear about the rules of the Demon-slaying Hall from Jiang Qiling before but he didn't know that his great grandpa had such a power. After all, Law Enforcement Patriarch was one of the top three authorities in the Demon-slaying Hall.

"Think about it!"

Jiang Qiling tilted her head and said, "People of the Demon-slaying Hall are all powerful warriors from different families. If the Law Enforcement Patriarch was not fair and favored the Lu Family, assisting the Lu Family off the record, what would it be like in the Demon-slaying Hall? And there is also the master and deputy master. What if the master took the lead and favored his own family? The Demon-slaying Hall would descend into chaos! There might be disputes and internal conflicts. The ultimate end would be the falling apart of the Demon-slaying Hall. Four alien races would infiltrate the Great Land and the humans would be massacred…"

Lu Li thought about it for a moment and answered with a nod, "It is possible."

"Self-centeredness is innate in human nature!"

She continued, "Let's take your great grandpa as an example. When he is still your great grandpa, how can he remain calm to learn that his own son is poisoned and may die at any moment now? Your great grandpa has so much power that he can just send anyone to pass on the cure. Curing voodoo poisons is nothing for the Demon-slaying Hall."

Lu Li asked with confusion, "Then why isn't he doing anything?"

"Because he is not your great grandpa anymore!"

Jiang Qiling gave a shocking answer, "The master of the Demon-slaying Hall, two deputy masters and the 10 patriarchs all have their souls reconstructed. They have no memory of the past. They are basically re-born. In their mind, there are only the Demon-slaying Hall and humans. The concept of family is not known to them."

"This is... cruel!"

Lu Li finally understood. He exclaimed to himself about this. Erasing the memories was not to lock up the memories. No past memory would exist.

In other words—the old great grandpa was dead. He had now become a walking dead, a war machine, living only for the Demon-slaying Hall and the humans.

"Yes!"

Jiang Qiling said with emotions, "But they are all real heroes - saints even. They are willing to die once to guard the Great Land, to keep the Demon-slaying Hall in order. If there wasn't a Demon-slaying Hall, humans would have been long gone."

People were all good at chanting slogans. Many warriors could devote their lives for protecting humans, as well. But reconstructing the soul, becoming a walking machine with no past or future would require a great deal of courage to let things go.

A person might have his own wife and children in front of him yet cannot recognize anybody. They would all be strangers to him. This was miserable…

Jiang Qiling pouted and said, "My grandpa, considering his abilities, is qualified to become a patriarch. But he…is not ready to forget us so he didn't have his soul reconstructed. If it were for me, I would rather die than forget the past. What about you, Lu Li?"

Lu Li shook his head and replied, "I don't know. At least…not now!"

"Okay. Don't think too much about it. We are about to go out now."

Jiang Qiling said seriously, "My mask is very good. If my grandpa is not near me, he will not be able to see through it. Lu Li, don't call me by my name. Let's work out a code name. How about you call me Fairy?"

Lu Li was speechless. He pouted and said, "Which part of you is like a fairy? I think you are more like a foxy temptress."

"Temptress? Nice, good name!"

Instead of feeling offended, Jiang Qiling was delighted by the name. She tilted her head and said, "Lu Li, how about I call you Book Worm. You know, in stories, foxy temptresses are always attracted to…book worms."

Lu Li rolled his eyes and refused, "No, book worms are good for nothing. How about Blood Hand Butcher? This is impressive."

"Alright~"

Jiang Qiling twitched her nose. As they were talking, another gale sprang up, raising dirt all over the place.

This time, Jiang Qiling asked Lu Li to fly directly forward. Passing through the sandstorm, they came into a place with different scenes. There was a wild land in front of them. In the distance, there was a huge mountain, on the peak of which stood a magnificent city.

"Wow…"

Lu Li was in awe with the huge city. From where he stood, the city was like floating in air and surrounded by clouds. It was more like a city where immortals resided.

"That is the Demon-slaying City. Hurry up!"

Jiang Qiling clapped her hands excitedly and said, "That city is huge. When we go in there, it will be very difficult for Jiang Yi and Du Wu to find us. The most important thing is—nobody can resort to violence in there, not even my grandpa. We will be safe once we are in the city."

Lu Li's eyes glowed. He flew toward the mountain on his Fate Wheel. Before they were close enough, they sensed some strong psychic powers, which were not sent secretly. The psychic powers whipped past across them like knives, making Lu Li and Jiang Qiling chilly.

Lu Li slowed down. Soon, they arrived at the huge plaza outside the city sitting at the peak of the mountain. There was a group of black armored warriors in the plaza, whose intimidating presence could not be hidden.

"All of them were of the Noble Lord Realm!"

Lu Li was shocked. Jiang Qiling explained to him in a low voice, "You must be at least the Noble Lord Realm in order to join the Demon-slaying Hall. Lu Li, act as I tell you here. Nobody can save you if you cause trouble."

Lu Li nodded and put away his Fate Wheel. He looked toward the huge gate and saw bold words.

"Demon-slaying City!"

It was as if the three words had some kind of magic power. Lu Li felt he was attracted to them immediately. His eyes reddened and killing intent surged out uncontrollably.

A delicate hand covered his eyes. Jiang Qiling's voice came up, "Once a human talent wrote the words. He integrated a horrifying Profound Meaning in them, the Bloodlust Profound Meaning, an eighth-rank one. Don't look at it anymore. Even Human Sovereign Realm warriors will lose themselves, let alone you."

"Eighth-rank Profound Meaning, wow!"

Lu Li exclaimed to himself. Just now, he felt his blood was boiling and his mind was occupied by the urge to kill every living thing.

These were just some words and it was already terrifying. If one was enveloped by the Bloodlust Profound Meaning, one might become a killing machine.

Jiang Qiling walked to the city gates while Lu Li followed her. He didn't look at anything else nor said anything.

They entered the city easily. The guards at the gate didn't inspect them or stop them. Entering the gate, Lu Li found himself in another big plaza and he was attracted by a large statue there.

The statue was of an old man with white beard and eyebrows but black hair. In his hands, was a book. His eyes glowed with wisdom. He was more like a learned man than a warrior.

"Lu Li, go and kowtow to him. That is the statue of the Emperor of Heaven Reserve, human's most proud warrior."

Jiang Qiling explained. Lu Li put on a serious expression right away.

The Emperor of Heaven Reverse, the Heaven Reverse Universe was named after him. This man was the only one who could break void and soar up to heaven to become an immortal.

They walked to the statue. But before they dropped to their knees, Lu Li stopped as he felt a tremble in his soul.

Because…

The silver dragon began to move around and his blood was boiling.

"What is happening?"

Lu Li was terrified. He never ran into something like this before. Did the Emperor of Heaven Reverse have something to do with his Silver Dragon Bloodline? Was something unsettling the silver dragon?
