A day ago, he had appeared in the Edge of the World Prefecture, a day later, he had appeared in the Infernal Forest Prefecture, and now, he had appeared in the Luo Shui Prefecture after only two hours!
There was a long distance between the three prefectures. Even if Lu Li were to keep flying, he could not go across so many prefectures in such a short time.
Therefore, after Patriarch Leopard calmed down and thought about it, he thought that there were two possibilities. The first was that the information from the Intelligence Hall was wrong, and the second was that someone was helping Lu Li mislead the public!
Elder Leopard of the Intelligence Division understood that while there were occasional mistakes, it was impossible for such a major matter to be reported carelessly.
Besides, there were cases of Thunder God killing people in every place. This was an iron-clad fact, and the Intelligence Hall did not have the guts to falsely report it.
Therefore, Patriarch Leopard soon came to the conclusion that someone must be helping Lu Li by disguising himself as Lu Li and secretly getting the Wrath of the Thunder God so that they could not tell the truth.
"Send a message to the Cabinet of Mystery and ask where Lu Li is."
Elder Leopard waved his hand. The Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries possessed a secret tracking technique that could track a person's true location based on their blood.
Therefore, no matter how many people were pretending to be Lu Li, the Cabinet of Mystery could easily find the real location.
A team leader went to send the message. Patriarch Bao didn't leave either. He waited here. There were Lu Li everywhere. Where should he go?
Four hours later, Cabinet of Mystery sent back a message — Lu Li's blood had been used up and they could not locate him.
"Hmm?"
Elder Leopard's eyes turned cold. What a coincidence!
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had been able to track them before, but now that a problem had arisen, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was unable to track them?
Was it really a coincidence?
Or did a major power approach the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion?
Patriarch Leopard paced up and down in the room. There were several Lu Li's and all of them had the Wrath of Thunder. There must be some super powerful force helping Lu Li or else he wouldn't have the guts to fight against the Craftsmen's Sect.
It was not impossible for such a major power to bribe the Secret Pavilion.
"Things are getting troublesome …"
Elder Leopard rubbed his head. He had a good relationship with Elder Mou.
Since the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries had already informed him that they could not track him, then either they really could not track him, or Elder Mou could not help him.
Even if he personally went to the Secret Pavilion, the result would be the same.
Bang!
Thinking of this, Elder Leopard angrily slammed the table next to him, and the table instantly exploded.
Elder Leopard felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been slapped by an invisible hand.
His face was already swollen from being slapped by Lu Li, and now someone was beating him up again …
"Should we report this to the Sect Leader?"
Elder Leopard was a little hesitant. The current situation was completely out of his control.
If he didn't report it to the Sect Master and things went wrong, the Sect Master might blame him.
"Let's search it first!"
Elder Leopard pondered over it. If he were to seek help from Sect Master Yu now, it would be a sign of his incompetence.
The dignified Divine Craftsmen Sect's Battle Hall Master had mobilized tens of millions of people and spent ten billion divine roots. However, in the end, he could not even kill a mere disciple of the Divine Artifact Pavilion. He felt that he was too ashamed to face the Sect Patriarch.
"Guards!"
Elder Leopard shouted loudly. A black shadow rushed in with a flash and knelt down on one knee, "Elder!"
Elder Leopard waved his hand and said, "Mobilize people to all the places where Lu Li can be found. Also, spread the word to the entire Divinity. Anyone who can kill Lu Li will be rewarded with two billion divine roots!"
For the time being, Elder Leopard had no other choice. He had to offer a high reward and mobilize more powerful warriors to join the hunt for Lu Li.
…
As a matter of fact, Lu Li was still in the Quicksand Prefecture, at the same place!
He had woken up but did not leave. It had been a long time since his enemies came. This place should be safe.
More importantly, there were no prefecture warriors or immortals coming to search for him. Therefore, Lu Li had no qualms about staying here.
Lu Li did not know how many of him were out there, and they were all in different prefectures. The Cabinet of Mystery could not locate him yet.
If he had known, he would not have hesitated and would have immediately flown through the void to escape.
Lu Li remembered the dangerous situation last time since nobody was searching for him. He decided to cultivate his soul for a while again.
If his soul could be stronger, he could fly away twice in a row, which would be safer.
Lu Li asked Blood Fairy to monitor the situation outside while he entered the transcendent state to continue cultivating his soul and divine energy.
While Lu Li was enjoying his time here, the outside world was in chaos.
This was because the three Lu Li's that appeared were constantly moving towards the northwest.
In merely five days, the three Lu Li's had moved to the west along three different routes. At the moment, the three Lu Li's were more than a dozen prefectures in the Quicksand Prefecture.
Patriarch Leopard increased the bounty. More warriors swarmed over and joined in the action of intercepting the three Lu Li.
The three Lu Li's were freakishly powerful. So many people were hunting them, including the Shadowless Race and the Ghastly Race, but none of them could find one.
What was more, the three Lu Li's were resourceful. One day, they could be in one prefecture, and the next, they could be in three other prefectures.
Many warriors from smaller forces wanted to take this chance to make some money. However, they lost all their travel expenses.
The three Lu Li's kept appearing, and the news kept coming. Yet, none of them could be captured or killed.
Many people realized something was wrong. Two of the three Lu Li's must be fake, or even … all three of them could be fake.
It was highly possible that a super force was helping Lu Li escape. That force should not be weaker than the Craftsmen's Sect. Otherwise, why would they have the courage to fight against the Craftsmen's Sect?
Half a month had passed, and none of the three Lu Li's had been captured. Now, all three Lu Li's had arrived at the west of the Divinity, 70 prefectures away from the Quicksand Prefecture.
Patriarch Leopard and the others were hot on Lu Li's trail. They would go wherever Lu Li was. Even though they had been chasing for half a month without seeing even a shadow of Lu Li, Patriarch Leopard did not intend to give up.
Lu Li's real body had begun to take action!
During the past half a month, almost nobody came to search.
When Blood Fairy told him the news, Lu Li felt something was off.
That being said, he could not miss out on such a good chance. He flew away at once.
This time, his soul was stronger. He did not show any pain on his face when he flew away.
Making sure that nobody was nearby, Lu Li activated the Cloaking Armor and flew away.
He walked around and found a small town nearby. Lu Li was a bit puzzled after checking it out.
There was no sign of search nearby. Had the Craftsmen's Sect given up on hunting him?
Of course, Lu Li did not dare to go into the town. He found a place to rest for half a day and then flew away again.
This time, Lu Li was unlucky. When he flew out, there happened to be three immortals nearby, and they recognized him at once.
"Charge —"
Without any hesitation, Lu Li let out the immortal's body and the Deaf Taoist and began the slaughter.
The immortal's body and the Deaf Taoist were quite capable. In the time for a few breaths, the three immortals were killed.
"Move ~"
Having killed the three immortals, Lu Li flew to the distance at once. He planned to take a rest for half a day before flying away again.
He did not know what had happened. That being said, there was no search force in the nearby prefectures, which was the best case scenario. He must seize the chance and hurry back to the Land of Youyan as soon as possible.
