The Snow Eagle Mountain was located in the middle of the three prefectures. It covered a large area, divided into nine camps and 18 strongholds.
The restrictions inside were very strong, and it was a chain formation. If they wanted to enter the Nine Barracks inside, they would have to destroy the Eighteen Stockaded Villages outside.
This was the headquarters of the Hall of Blood Blade, where there were many powerful warriors and assassins. Unless the four supreme forces sent powerful warriors to attack, even a force like the Cao Family couldn't destroy the Hall of Blood Blade.
Lu Li didn't go to the nine camps in the innermost area. Instead, he lived in a stronghold at the border, a place called the East Wind Stronghold.
According to Jian Xilai, the Hall of Blood Blade didn't belong entirely to the Pan Family. Most of them were from the Divinity. It was just that the Pan Family controlled the Hall of Blood Blade in secret.
Therefore, Jian Xilai brought Lu Li and Chi Xi-er to a stronghold where everyone here was his people. He didn't have to worry about being exposed.
As a matter of fact!
The four supreme forces knew that the forces of the Land of Youyan had secretly made arrangements in the Divinity.
The four supreme forces also supported some forces in the Land of Youyan in secret to act as their eyes. They could give a fatal blow when necessary.
Some senior members of the Hall of Blood Blade knew that the mysterious Chief Master came from the Land of Youyan, but they didn't care.
Assassins were something that couldn't be exposed to the public. They would work for whoever could give them Divine Sources.
What did assassins do all day?
Assassinating the higher-ups of the Divinity and finding out the secrets of the Divinity?
They didn't have a good relationship with the major forces in the Divinity.
The East Wind Stronghold was not big. It was located on a small mountain with many small castles and caves. They didn't seem to have a regular pattern, but the arrangement was quite interesting.
Lu Li was a master of formations. He found that the castles and caves were carefully arranged after a few glances.
Those were the formation eyes. When necessary, the castles and caves could be destroyed. By then, a powerful formation of destruction would appear.
The East Wind Stronghold was beautiful with verdant hills and clear waters. There was a kind of unknown flower blooming all over the mountain.
Chi Xi-er liked it very much.
Lu Li nodded to himself after a while. Even the flowers were arranged with an ulterior motive.
The scent of the flowers was strong. Normally, nothing would happen just by smelling it. However, it could be mixed with other scents to produce poison …
There was a small river at the foot of the mountain that circled around the mountain. Lu Li also saw something wrong with the river.
It wasn't that there was a Restrictive Spell in the river, but that there were puppets in the river. Some fish looked no different from ordinary fish, but they were actually puppets, fake fish!
These fish kept swimming in the river. If someone were to swim underwater, they would immediately be discovered by these fish and attract the attention of the people from the Bloodshed Hall.
"This Snow Eagle Mountain Range is filled with traps and traps!"
Lu Li exclaimed to himself that the headquarters of an assassin organization was indeed unusual. There were mysteries everywhere.
Of course, if the enemy were to sneak into the headquarters of the assassins, there would be no need for this assassin organization to exist.
Squeak, squeak ~
Lu Li let Little White out as well and it wandered around the village with Chi Xi-er.
All the restrictions in the village were closed to make it easier for Chi Xi 'er and Little White to move around.
Lu Li sat on the cliff at the peak and cultivated. He didn't have to do anything except wait for the information from Jian Xilai.
Dozens of people usually lived in the East Wind Village, but they rarely went out. They were either out on missions or cultivating in the caves in the castle.
There was a Formation of Spirit Gathering in the East Wind Village, but it was not a very advanced one. Lu Li asked Blood Fairy to modify the Formation of Spirit Gathering so that the Spiritual Qi in the village was 10 times richer.
"Eh?"
However, an assassin was alerted after a while. Jian Xilai soon came to Lu Li's side.
He bowed and said, "Thank you, Young Master Lu, for your help. You have been sitting here without doing anything, but you have secretly modified the Formation of Spirit Gathering. You have done a marvelous job."
"It's not a big deal!"
Lu Li waved his hand and said, "I want to cultivate here as well. If you want the Spiritual Qi to be thicker, you can buy some advanced Stones of Spirit Gathering and materials. I will do the work myself. I can make the Spiritual Qi in the village 100 times richer."
"100 times?"
Jian Xilai gasped. The Spiritual Qi in heaven and earth was already very dense. If it were 100 times richer, this place would become a paradise.
Jian Xilai asked Lu Li to list some formation stones and materials and left with a list.
How could Jian Xilai miss such a good chance?
With such a powerful Formation of Spirit Gathering, those cultivating here would be able to cultivate faster. Over a long period of time, his subordinates would be able to grow stronger.
Jian Xilai left. Lu Li closed his eyes to cultivate. He was still studying the "Sword Mark" move he learned in the Hall of Ghost and had successfully learned another Fundamental Principle.
This "Sword Mark" move should be the famous skill of the Master of Ghost, which was formed by combining four Fundamental Principles. If he could learn all of them, Lu Li believed that his abilities would be improved by leaps and bounds.
It took Jian Xilai only five days to get the materials ready. Lu Li came out from cultivation and helped him set up the formation.
For him, it was easy to set up the Formation of Spirit Gathering. As a matter of fact, the reason why this formation could be so powerful was that Blood Fairy had integrated several Formations of Spirit Gathering together.
Lu Li set up a dozen formations in the mountain. Then Blood Fairy sneaked into the underground and began to modify the Inhibition Formations.
Two hours later, Blood Fairy retracted her tentacles and said to Lu Li, "Master, it is done."
"Okay!"
Lu Li poured out divine energy to activate the Spirit Gathering Formation. Strands of white mist spread out. The entire East Wind Village was filled with Spiritual Qi. Even Blood Fairy, who was cultivating on the side, was alarmed.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
Many assassins in the castles were alarmed. They came out and went back in delight after Jian Xilai explained the situation.
Some assassins bowed to Lu Li from the distance. Though they did not say any words of gratitude, their gratitude was evident.
"Okay, I am going to cultivate. Report to me as soon as you find anything!"
Lu Li waved his hand and began to cultivate next to Chi Xi-er. He continued to study the "Sword Mark" move.
Chi Xi-er said nothing and continued to cultivate.
Lying on the ground, Little White opened its eyes and fell asleep after a few looks.
Little White had eaten many Cloud Crystals recently and needed to digest the energy.
"Why hasn't Little White transformed yet?"
Lu Li was surprised. Theoretically speaking, Little White could be regarded as a member of the demon race after it reached the immortal realm and could transform.
However, Little White's abilities had been improving, but there was no sign of it, which surprised Lu Li.
"Never mind!"
Lu Li cleared his mind and entered the transcendent state. He began to concentrate on learning. At the same time, he cultivated divine energy and nurtured his soul at the same time.
He had many top-level elixirs in his Interspatial Ring that could nourish the soul, enough for him to use for over a hundred years.
Time flew by, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Jian Xilai finally came back after three months. Standing in front of Lu Li, he cupped his fists and said, "Young Master Lu, we have some information about Lu Ling."
"What?"
