"Okay!"
Uncle Li thought about it and said with a nod, "When we get to the foot of the Cloud Mountain, I will cure you and set you free!"
Once they arrived at the Cloud Mountain, they would be completely safe. Yuan Bin would not be of much help anymore. During this time, they had been fighting side by side and Yuan Bing had helped a lot. Naturally, Uncle Li would not make things difficult for Yuan Bing.
Yuan Bing thanked Uncle Li. Ever since he was controlled by Uncle Li, he had never thought about living.
He didn't expect that Uncle Li would be kind enough to set him free so soon.
The two rested for more than half a day and recovered a bit. They resumed their journey.
There were still a few more days to go. Hopefully, they would be safe.
Lu Li knew nothing about the outside world. He had reached a critical point in his cultivation and was about to make a breakthrough to the Cryptic Spirit Realm. Even if the sky was falling down, he wouldn't care if Uncle Li didn't send him a message.
One day, two days!
Uncle Li and Yuan Bing only ran into two warriors on their way. They both went around each other after they sensed each other.
They were about to arrive at the Cloud Mountain. Both Uncle Li and Yuan Bing were excited.
One of them could settle down for a while and the other was free. Both of them were in a good mood.
They were very close to the Cloud Mountain, less than half a day's journey.
There might be many warriors at the foot of the Cloud Mountain, but the powerful ones wouldn't do anything rash.
After all, this was a challenge to the owner of the Cloud Mountain. No powerful warrior would dare to offend the owner of the Cloud Mountain no matter how ruthless he was.
The two of them moved forward quickly. But they didn't dare to be too conspicuous. They didn't fly. They sneaked on like two foxes.
They walked on for four hours. They did run into some people but nobody dared to make a move. They just checked each other out.
In the distant horizon, they could vaguely make out a towering mountain. Such a tall mountain was definitely Heavenly Cloud Mountain.
Both of them were delighted. Yuan Bing would look at Uncle Li from time to time, waiting for him to cure him.
"Just a bit more and I will cure you!"
Uncle Li waved his hand. He was relieved to be here. There must be soldiers patrolling at the foot of the Cloud Mountain. Nobody would be so bold as to kill them.
"Whoosh!"
The two of them leapt up a small mountain. However, at that moment, a powerful divine sense swept out from within the small mountain. Next, the small mountain exploded and a cultivator flew out, punching Uncle Li.
Bang!
There was a layer of green energy swirling around Uncle Li's body. His defensive power was not any weaker than the Grandspirit Heavenly Treasure Battle Armor he was wearing.
However, this punch directly dispersed the cyan airflow and broke half of Uncle Li's leg with a single punch.
"Xiu!"
Yuan Bing reacted quickly and slashed the head of the martial artist below him.
Yuan Bing felt as though his sword had struck a divine weapon, and his longsword was actually repelled. That person's eyes turned ferocious as he grabbed Yuan Bing's leg and twisted it forcefully. Yuan Bing's leg was twisted like a fried dough twist.
"Ah!"
Yuan Bing cried out in pain. He was also a ruthless character. He swung his sword and chopped at the calf, while his other leg kicked at the warrior's head. His body bounced back.
"Go!"
Uncle Li was frightened and shouted at Yuan Bing.
This person was too strong. He was definitely at the pinnacle of the Second Tribulation Heavenly God Realm. With their battle prowess, it was impossible for them to fight him.
Now, their only way out was to rush to the foot of Mount Skycloud. With the deterrence of the Mount Skycloud army, this person would not dare to chase after them.
The two's speed was at the limit. Uncle Li kept on releasing long-range attacks to stop that person from chasing after them.
Although one of Yuan Bing's legs was broken, he gritted his teeth and took out his longbow. As he fled, he shot black arrows that filled the sky to stop that person from chasing after them.
That person roared and rushed over. He was slightly faster than Uncle Li and Yuan Bing.
However, Uncle Li and Yuan Bing were both releasing long-range attacks to slow down this person. The distance between the two parties was still more than five kilometers.
They were getting closer, getting closer!
Five minutes later, the two saw a huge mountain shrouded in a faint mist. At the foot of the mountain, there were indeed groups of martial artists wearing silver battle armor.
The two almost cried tears of joy. They flew forward crazily and stopped attacking the people behind them. They were afraid that they would anger the Mount Skycloud army.
There were two groups of soldiers at the foot of Mount Skycloud. Because of Uncle Li's battle, they were attracted over.
The formidable martial artist chasing after them saw so many soldiers locking onto them. After another one kilometer, he stopped.
He glanced coldly at Uncle Li and Yuan Bing, then turned around and left.
Uncle Li and Yuan Bing were relieved. They dared not to stay any longer. They rushed toward Mount Skycloud.
Yuan Bing took a healing pellet to stop the bleeding. Uncle Li's leg was broken as well. But it was not a serious injury. He could recover in half a day.
"Swish, swish, swish ~"
When he was more than five kilometers away from Skycloud Mountain, Yuan Bing suddenly stopped, his complexion turning deathly pale.
Uncle Li stopped and asked in surprise, "What is it?"
Yuan Bing's eyes were filled with hatred. He said while clenching his teeth, "My enemy is in front of me. He … found me!"
"Eh!"
Uncle Li was stunned. He didn't know what to do. If Yuan Bing retreated now, that enemy would not let him go.
Even if they didn't secretly go after him, they would find someone to go after him.
Yuan Bing would need at least one day to recover from his broken leg. One day was enough for his enemy to arrange for him to be killed.
If Yuan Bing went to Mount Skycloud with Uncle Li, nobody would dare to do anything to him in a short time. That being said, that enemy would try to kill Yuan Bing. Lu Li and Uncle Li might even be implicated.
Uncle Li thought for a while and thought of a compromise. He said, "How about we go to Mount Skycloud first? When you are healed, you can leave secretly."
"Sure!"
Yuan Bing thought about it. This was the safest way. If he dared to leave now, he would die for sure.
He thought about it and said, "Lord, you go first. Pretend that you are not familiar with me. I won't implicate you."
"Okay!"
Uncle Li's ring flashed as he tossed out an antidote. Then, he quickly flew forward.
He was not a kind man. This was all he could do to help Yuan Bing. He would not let Yuan Bing implicate him and Lu Li.
"Buzzing ~"
While Uncle Li was flying, he took out the Nine Wonders Mountain and teleported Lu Li out. Lu Li was still cultivating when he woke up. He checked with psychic power and put away the Nine Wonders Mountain. Then, he looked at Uncle Li with surprise.
He noticed Yuan Bing was behind him but he didn't ask too many questions since there were two teams of warriors in front.
"Master, I will explain to you later."
Uncle Li said. Then he added, "Later, I will have to ask you to pretend to be my nephew. This way, it won't be out of place or draw attention."
"Okay, Uncle Li!"
Lu Li didn't mind the way Uncle Li addressed him. He was young and weak. If Uncle Li were to call him master, it would draw attention.
Uncle Li brought Lu Li to a team of warriors. He cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Lords. We are here to join Mount Skycloud!"
"Ha, ha!"
A cold-eyed middle-aged man with braids said with a sneer, "Don't you have another friend?
Why didn't you bring him along? "
At first, Uncle Li didn't know who Yuan Bing's enemy was. Now, he understood.
This man happened to be a team leader. He was more powerful than Yuan Bing and he spoke with killing intent. Clearly, he was Yuan Bing's sworn enemy.
Without any hesitation, Uncle Li cupped his fists and said, "Lord, we just met him. We are not familiar with him. He is not our friend."
"Ha, is that so?"
The commander with the braid waved his hand and ordered a soldier, "Bring these two people into the mountain to meet Commander Wang. At the same time, tell them the rules of our Skycloud Mountain. Don't let them die without knowing why."
