Uncle Li had already guessed that Commander Pigtail would not let the matter rest. Therefore, he had Yuan Bing leave immediately after recuperating at Mount Skycloud.
He originally thought that Commander Pigtail wouldn't act recklessly. After all, he was just a minor commander in front of everyone. How could he violate Skycloud Mountain's rules and kill people indiscriminately?
However, he didn't expect Commander Braid to be so ruthless as to directly kill someone.
Uncle Li guessed that he must have found some kind of reason, but wasn't it too cruel?
Revenge does not wait overnight.
From this person's cold eyes and the fact that he was thinking of ways to kill Yuan Bing, Uncle Li could tell that this person was a vengeful person.
Now that he was sure that Uncle Li, Lu Li and Yuan Bing were partners, he would find a way to kill them.
Uncle Li showed Lu Li into the cave and let him out of the Inhibition Formation. Uncle Li told Lu Li about Yuan Bing and his concerns. Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.
He saw Yuan Bing's death with his own eyes. This was clearly revenge.
He had thought that he would be very safe in Mount Tianyun, but he did not expect Tu Sheng to have such an accident.
"Let's wait until the beginning of next month!"
Lu Li sighed and said, "At the beginning of next month, we will go to the Demon Subduing Tower and have a look. If we can pass the first level and get the Iron Token, then this leader will not dare to do anything rash."
"Master, are you going to challenge it?"
Uncle Li became slightly nervous. A dozen or so people had died on this mountain not long ago. This meant that the first level of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda was very dangerous.
Lu Li's combat ability was at the bottom of the Second Heaven. It was highly likely that he would die in the Demon Subduing Tower.
"I'll continue to cultivate in seclusion for the next few days. If you have time, go make some connections with the people nearby and ask about the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. Also, ask about that commander."
Lu Li waved his hand. He thought about it and said, "Don't get into conflict with that leader. No matter how he insults you, you must endure it. Don't give him a chance to do anything!"
"Alright!"
Since Lu Li had made up his mind, Uncle Li couldn't persuade him otherwise. Lu Li activated the Spirit Gathering Formation and started to cultivate.
Recently, he was about to break through to the Cryptic Spirit Realm, so he wanted to hurry up and evolve this state.
Uncle Li, on the other hand, went out for a stroll. He didn't dare to go too far, so he just strolled around and tried to strike up a conversation with someone.
However, after finding a few people, no one paid any attention to him. Later, he found a small martial artist with relatively low combat strength and threw him a few top-notch elixirs. This person immediately became easy to talk to.
In just a few hours, Uncle Li had obtained the information he needed. He felt a little more at ease.
He knew a little about the situation on the first floor of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. If he didn't risk his life, he still had a good chance of surviving.
Those who had died were people who had risked their lives to get through the first stage, but they had died inside.
If one obtained an iron medallion, ordinary soldiers would not dare to provoke them, because the iron medallion represented great strength and status.
If you could obtain a bronze identity, then even the commander would be polite to you.
If you could obtain a silver badge, then even the commanders would have to pay their respects to you.
Therefore, if he wanted to live comfortably in Skycloud Mountain, he had to find a way to obtain a bronze or iron plate identity. At the very least, he had to have an iron plate identity.
With the identity of the wooden token, if the commander really wanted to kill indiscriminately, the higher-ups would only reprimand him at most. They wouldn't make the commander pay with his life.
After he got the information, Uncle Li didn't dare to wander outside anymore, for fear that the commander would seize the chance.
He went back to his cave and started closed-door cultivation. The commander in his room wouldn't come and make trouble for no reason, would he?
It was only the beginning of the month. There were 20 more days until the next month. Uncle Li was not in a hurry. He cultivated in peace.
Time flew by in a blink of an eye. Soon, 10 days had passed.
The 10 days were peaceful. Uncle Li could put his mind at ease. As long as he didn't make trouble, he should be fine.
On the 13th day, Lu Li came out from closed-door cultivation. He was overjoyed. Finally, he had made a breakthrough in the Cryptic Spirit Realm. He had evolved to a brand new state.
In this state, he felt absolute quietness, as if the whole world had disappeared and everything had stopped.
In this state, he would feel tranquil, and the speed of learning would be greatly increased.
"Ethereal Realm, Cryptic Spirit Realm. This state is more advanced. What should I call it?"
Lu Li thought about it. He remembered the wonderful scene just now. Four words came out of his mouth, "Dreamland!"
The state of Dreamland didn't increase his abilities but it was a powerful skill that could assist him in cultivation. In this state, his speed of learning Fundamental Principles of a law would be dozens of times faster.
That was to say, if it would take him decades to learn a law, he could do it in one or two years in this state.
Lu Li was not the only one who had this state. Many people had it. Ling Qingyan and Pan Yuqin had such skills.
However, the speed of cultivation varied, depending on the level of the skill.
Lu Li was satisfied that the speed of the State of Dreamland could be increased by at least 30 times.
He rested for a while and then tried to learn Fundamental Principles of a law to see the effect of the State of Dreamland.
The effect was good!
However, Lu Li was interrupted after one day. The Inhibition Formation in the cave glowed.
When he woke up, he and Uncle Li looked at each other. Both were surprised. Then, they put their guards up.
Lu Li got up and opened the Inhibition Formation. Uncle Li had a weapon in his hand. But when he saw that it was just an average warrior, Uncle Li put away his weapon and walked out with Lu Li.
"You are Li Tian and Lu Li, right?" The warrior had a name list in his hand. He looked at Lu Li and Li Tian coldly and asked.
Li Tian cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Yes, it is us. What can I do for you?"
"Gather at the Cyan Sun Peak!"
The warrior waved his hand and said, "Go with Commander Yang and Commander Chen to hunt Beasts of Primordial Chaos. We need to feed the demons in the Tower of Monsters!"
"Hunt Beasts of Primordial Chaos?"
Uncle Li and Lu Li frowned. They remembered that when they first arrived at the Mountain of Clouds, the warrior mentioned that he would occasionally go out to hunt Beasts of Primordial Chaos and that some warriors would be recruited. They were recruited as soon as they arrived.
"Something is wrong!"
Lu Li and Uncle Li looked at each other. Both remembered the leader with the braid. Could it be that person's doing?
Did he pick their names to kill them during the Beasts of Primordial Chaos?
"What are you waiting for?"
The warrior waved his hand impatiently. Pointing to a mountain in the distance, he said, "That is the Cyan Sun Peak. Many people have gathered there. Go there now."
"Yes!"
Lu Li and Uncle Li clenched their teeth and cupped their fists. Then, they walked toward the mountain.
They could see from the distance that there were many people there. There should be more than 100. There were more coming from the other mountains.
"The braid!"
When Lu Li arrived at the foot of the Cyan Sun Peak, he looked up and saw the leader with the braid. Lu Li and Uncle Li's hearts skipped a beat. This was a trap. The braid leader was trying to kill them!
"Damn it!"
