The more than a dozen of them were covered in dust. None of them seemed to be in good shape.
Holy Princess and the others still looked fresh and pretty, but they were not in a good state of mind. Exhaustion and depression were written all over their faces. In their eyes, there was no glow and glow.
Holy Princess's eyes glowed when she saw Lu Li. There was a gentle smile on her cold face. She walked over with Lou Shi 'er and bowed. "Young Master Lu, nice to see you again."
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li cupped his fists and said, "Rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, wedding night with flowers and candles, and winning the imperial examinations. These are the four happy events in life.
To me, to be able to meet you here is like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. It is worth celebrating. "
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lou Shi 'er patted Lu Li's shoulder warmly. "Drinking is not a big deal. When we get out, I will treat you to the best tavern and we will drink for three days and nights. The most important thing now is — to get out of this level.
Little brother, you are a genius. I cannot believe that you can find us through the formation of illusion. I admire you so much that I cannot even begin to describe it.
Can you … break through all the restrictions and walk out of this trial? "
Holy Princess and the others looked at Lu Li with great anticipation. They had been trapped in there for several months. They were exhausted both physically and mentally.
Though they did not have a nervous breakdown, they were tormented.
"I am afraid that I will have to disappoint you!"
Lu Li forced a smile. "I can only solve the first layer of Inhibition Formations. Based on my observation, there are three layers of illusion. We must solve all three layers before we can find the exit."
The smiles on Lou Shi 'er and Holy Princess's faces faded away. There was a glint of panic in their eyes. The others were in a worse state. Their eyes and faces were filled with fear.
Lu Li asked calmly, "Since you have the courage to enter the Tomb of King Luna, the forefathers of your sects must have given you some pointers. Did your forefathers not have the experience to solve this level?"
"They did!"
Lou Shi 'er explained with a forced smile, "But … the Inhibition Formations of this level are much stronger than those in the past. Our experience is useless.
Brother Lu, if you do not have a solution, we will be stuck here for over a thousand years. "
"A lot more perverted?"
Lu Li touched his nose in embarrassment. It seemed that he was the reason.
The tomb keeper had purposely increased the power and difficulty of this level's restrictions, right?
Their goal was to trap them for a thousand years as revenge for their provocation towards the tomb keeper on the Path of Life and Death.
"Young Lord Lu!"
Holy Girl Xue forced herself to pull herself together and asked, "Can you help me find the disciples of the Palace of Snow Mountain?
Many of our disciples were walking and accidentally got separated. Now that their whereabouts are unknown, I'm afraid that something might have happened to them. "
"Yes, I met one of your disciples on the way!"
Lu Li said with a heavy expression, "She has … committed suicide. Another disciple of the Cabinet of Cloud committed suicide as well."
"Ah?"
The expressions of Holy Maiden Xue and the rest of the female disciples changed, revealing looks of sorrow. Holy Maiden Xue quickly begged, "Young Master Lu, can you bring us there?
I'll help my sister collect her remains. "
"Go!"
Lu Li waved his hand and led the others on their way. This time, they were running at full speed. In just a couple of hours, they found the female disciple.
Holy Maiden Xue and the other female disciples of the Palace of Snow Mountain burst into tears of sorrow when they saw the miserable state of the disciple.
Holy Maiden forced herself to pull herself together and put the disciple's body into her Interspatial Ring.
"Young Master Lu!"
Holy Maiden bowed solemnly and said, "Please solve the Inhibition Formations in other places and help us find our other sisters. I, Xue Jingya, will never forget your kindness."
Lou Shi 'er looked at Lu Li as well. He did not say anything about owing Lu Li a favor. He just nodded solemnly.
Lu Li thought about it for a moment. "Holy Maiden Xue, I will try my best even if you don't say it. Don't talk about favors. It is fate that we are together.
It's my honor to be able to help you with a little. "
"Thank you, Young Master Lu!"
Holy Maiden's eyes reddened. If they were outside, Lu Li's status and abilities would be worlds apart from hers.
Lu Li couldn't even talk to her, let alone make her bow.
Even if Lu Li could help her, she wouldn't have to humble herself and be so grateful.
Sending charcoal in snowy weather was always more appreciated than adding flowers to brocade!
What was more, Lu Li's words and actions were appropriate. He did not claim any credit for himself. Lou Shi 'er and Holy Maiden had a better impression of him. They now regarded him as a friend.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li waved his hand and left with the others. This time, he did not dare to let the immortal's body out.
Instead, he asked Blood Fairy to reach out a tentacle from the Wicked Bead under his feet. In this way, they could solve the Inhibition Formations invisibly.
As a matter of fact, Lu Li was disappointed as well.
He had wanted to meet up with Lou Shi 'er and Holy Maiden because he wanted to see if they could come up with a way to get out together.
Judging by the looks of it, there was no way. Lu Li found a group of people, but they would only be a burden. He had to help them find their own disciples …
Along the way, Lu Li didn't do much. He just stood there with his eyes closed. After a while, the scenery would change. The Inhibition Formations in an area with a radius of three hundred miles would be solved.
What bothered Lu Li was that they had only found five people after three days of traveling and destroying so many formations of illusion.
Of the five, three were dead. Two were disciples from Pavilion of Misty Drizzle and one from Palace of Snow Mountain.
Of the two that were still alive, one was from Cabinet of Cloud and the other was a female disciple from Palace of Snow Mountain.
Luckily, Lu Li and the others came in time. This person was in a bad state of mind. He could lose his mind or commit suicide at any time.
Nobody could tell how big this level was.
If it was so big that it was boundless, what if it took years or decades to find everyone?
If it were not for the fact that he had promised Lou Shi 'er and Holy Maiden, Lu Li would not have bothered.
He had wasted so much time to save some irrelevant people. Lu Li was not a saint who cared about the people in the world …
They kept on going. Along the way, they found disciples of the three major sects. But more often than not, they would run into dead bodies.
If they were separated, it would be easy for them to go crazy or commit suicide if they were alone and their mental fortitude wasn't strong.
Along the way, Lu Li ran into a Stone Golem. The Stone Golem had run out of energy and collapsed to the ground.
"There are people up ahead. Many of them!"
Lou Shi 'er's eyes glowed after another Inhibition Formation was solved. They used psychic power to check. Lu Li pulled a long face.
There were many people up ahead, more than a dozen. But most of them were disciples of Cabinet of Cloud and Ling Feidu was among them.
They had saved people that they shouldn't have saved …
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
Three of them were from the Palace of Snow Mountain and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle. They were overjoyed to see Holy Maiden and Lou Shi 'er.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Ling Feidu's laughter came from the distance. "Holy Maiden, Brother Shi 'er, finally, we are together again.
But … you are not sincere enough. Why didn't you come to us earlier if you could solve the Inhibition Formations? We were almost driven mad. "
