The battle outside was coming to an end. This time, many patriarchs came from the Chamber of Relics. To become a patriarch, one must not only be accomplished in forging artifacts, but also in combat abilities.
Lu Li was right. Inhibition Formations and Fundamental Principles were similar. Both relied on laws of heaven and earth and force to release powerful skills.
Therefore, powerful artificers would not be weak in combat. That was why the Chamber of Relics enjoyed a unique status at the south of the Divinity. If the Chamber of Relics only had artificers but not powerful warriors, it would have been destroyed a long time ago.
Almost all of the patriarchs were as powerful as mighty warriors in the Divinity. Many of them were from the Hall of Warfare.
Even though there were quite a number of Pupil-less Monkeys, more than half of them were killed. The rest escaped underground. It was difficult to hunt them down.
That being said, some disciples of the Hall of Warfare died and Lady Dan and the others were injured. The patriarchs of the Chamber of Relics were enraged.
They flew around in a frenzy, looking for Pupil-less Monkeys to kill.
Patriarch Gu did not go after them. Instead, he patrolled around. For him, the Brown Blood Crystals were the key. As long as the Brown Blood Crystals in the Brown Blood Mountain were safe, he would not mind losing some disciples of the Hall of Warfare.
"Collect all the formed Brown Blood Crystals!"
Patriarch Gu waved his hand and told disciples of the Hall of Warfare to collect Brown Blood Crystals in the depth of the mountain.
Those Brown Blood Crystals could be used to make many Lightning Triggers. If they were destroyed, it would be a great loss.
The other patriarchs came back after half a day of hunting.
There were many Pupil-less Monkeys. Even if all the enemies were killed, there were still many in their species.
Many patriarchs shouted in anger. They wanted to find the Pupil-less Monkeys and wipe them out.
This was the only way to appease the patriarchs and restore the reputation of the Chamber of Relics.
But nobody wanted to go after the culprit. In history, none of the culprits that hired the Pupil-less Monkeys had ever been exposed. The Pupil-less Monkeys had a good reputation. The captured Pupil-less Monkeys would commit suicide at once. They would not even have a chance to search their souls.
Patriarch Gu did not mind. He ordered people to collect the Brown Blood Crystals in person. After half a day, all the Brown Blood Crystals were collected. Patriarch Gu rode on the Beast of the Void and flew to the Valley of Relics with Lu Li, Lady Dan, and the others.
Many patriarchs went with him. They could not make the decision themselves. They had to report to the Chief of Relics and the Hall of Relics.
When Patriarch Gu came back, he let Lady Dan and Long Yunhai out. He brought Lu Li and Qian Huanhan back to the manor.
He left the two of them aside and entered the Divine Materials Hall to get busy.
When the elders came back, they reported the news to their superiors. They also reported that Miss Dan and the others had been attacked.
The leader of the Chamber of Relics was enraged. He slammed the table and stood up. Then, he took the teleportation device and left.
It was said that they would go to the Craftsmen's Sect to report such a terrible thing to the Craftsmen's Sect and ask the Craftsmen's Sect to use their power to find the place of the Pupil-less Monkeys or find the culprit behind the scenes.
"all", ".. of of the Chief of the Scholars of Relics at the Sect. in, and outside, in the southern parts of the Chambers, in, of Masters of the Sect, of Relics.
The Spirits, in, in.. and,. in, and, and, of..,., ",".,...... Di..., and,...
. The entire southern Divinity was stirred!
No wonder Craftsmen's Sect was one of the four legendary forces. They could offer a holy Relic. Many masters and leaders did not even have a holy Relic.
Holy Relics were hard to come by. They could not be bought even with Divine Sources. Craftsmen's Sect strictly controlled the quantity. Only three pieces would be auctioned in every hundred years. Divine Sources were not enough to buy one.
Many people took actions. They searched for the Pupil-less Monkeys all over the world.
As for the culprit, they could not find him. Basically, they could not find him.
The Pupil-less Monkeys must be a powerful warrior from a major force. How could they leave behind any evidence or clues?
What happened outside had nothing to do with Lu Li and Qian Huanhan. They cultivated in the manor.
Lu Li felt lucky that he was not killed this time. Maybe his plan was not perfect. Next time, he would not be so lucky.
"Master, someone is trying to use psychic power!"
On the third day, Lu Li was alarmed by Blood Fairy's message. He put away the book at once.
"Lu Li, come here!"
Patriarch Gu said. Lu Li got up and went to the backyard.
Patriarch Gu sat under the grape trellis with a dagger in his hand. When Lu Li came, he handed the dagger to him and said coldly, "Cut your finger and let a drop of blood out!"
"Eh?"
Lu Li was surprised. What did Patriarch Gu want his blood for?
Lu Li hesitated. Patriarch Gu pulled a long face and said angrily, "What?
I don't want to! "
Lu Li made up his mind and cut his finger. A drop of blood dripped down. Patriarch Gu put away the blood and waved his hand. "Go back and cultivate. Do not leave this manor without my permission."
"Yes!"
Lu Li cupped his fists and left. He went back to his room but did not cultivate. Instead, he secretly used psychic power to check outside.
"Whoosh ~"
All of a sudden, he felt a tremor in space. A man flew up from the backyard.
He hurriedly got up and walked out. Just as he had expected, he saw Elder Gu leap out and rush into the plaza. He entered the teleportation array and left.
"What is Patriarch Gu doing?
He wants a drop of my blood and then he is gone?
What is he trying to do? "
Lu Li was confused. Patriarch Gu's behavior was so strange that Lu Li could not figure it out.
What could a drop of blood do?
Could Patriarch Gu find out his identity from a drop of blood?
Why would Patriarch Gu want to find out his identity?
Lu Li stood at the door for an hour but still could not figure it out. He gave up thinking. He went back to his room, activated the Inhibition Formation and continued to read books on Inhibition Formations.
Lu Li lost track of time while he was reading. Soon, four or five days had passed and Patriarch Gu had not come back.
Lu Li was confused. He thought for a while but could not come to a conclusion. He went back to studying Inhibition Formations.
Another five days later, Patriarch Gu finally came back. As soon as he came back, he sent a message for Lu Li to go over.
"He is here!"
Lu Li's heart skipped a beat. He had many questions. Maybe Patriarch Gu would answer them later. Lu Li wondered if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
If it was a blessing, it was not a curse. If it was a curse, he could not avoid it!
Lu Li made up his mind and walked to the backyard. Patriarch Gu stood under the grape trellis, emotionless. When Lu Li came, Patriarch Gu took out the pagoda and took Lu Li into the interspatial artifact.
This time, Lu Li came to another side hall. There was a throne here. Patriarch Gu sat on the throne, looked at Lu Li coldly and said, "Should I call you Lu Li, or Li Lu, or Lu Lin?"
"Swish ~"
Lu Li turned ghastly pale. Patriarch Gu really went to look into his identity and he found out everything with just one drop of blood.
Lu Li forced himself to calm down. Since Patriarch Gu had taken him to the interspatial artifact, it meant that he did not want today's conversation to be leaked. In other words, Patriarch Gu was the only one who knew about Lu Li's identity.
On this thought, Lu Li felt more confident. He bowed and said, "Patriarch Gu, I did not mean to hide it. I was forced to do so."
