Patriarch Chen would not lie to Lu Li. Lu Li was delighted. He had only consumed 30% of the Primordial Qi. By the time he consumed all the Primordial Qi, he would be as strong as a Three Tribulation Heaven God.
"Okay, Lu Li, I will leave now!"
Patriarch Chen nodded. He thought about it and said, "Many people have been spying on you recently. Many of them are exiled from the Cloud Mountain. They may come after you.
Be careful when you cultivate here. If something goes wrong, run away or … ask for help from Fairy Tian Yun. "
"Oh?"
Lu Li put his guard up. He cupped his fists and thanked Patriarch Chen but didn't say anything. He could not ask Patriarch Chen to protect him here all the time.
Patriarch Chen didn't have the obligation and Lu Li didn't have the right.
Patriarch Chen left. He didn't care about Lu Li's life or death. If it were not for the fact that Fairy Tian Yun valued Lu Li, he wouldn't have warned Lu Li.
Patriarch Chen had some complaints about Fairy Tian Yun asking him to protect Lu Li.
Patriarch Chen believed that to become a powerful warrior, one must grow up in the face of trials and hardships alone.
A warrior that could only grow up under the protection of others would be useless even if he could make progress in his realm.
Uncle Li was still exclaiming about Lu Li's fast progress. He only realized something after Patriarch Chen left.
Now that Patriarch Chen was gone, Lu Li would have to deal with the thunderbolts on his own.
"Safety first. Build some one-way Teleportation Formations!"
Lu Li thought about it and decided to be careful.
Now that someone was after him, he could fail miserably at an easy task.
Lu Li rushed over and began to build one-way Teleportation Formations at the border.
If he were to build them at the center, they would be destroyed by thunderbolts soon.
One-way Teleportation Formations were simple. It took Lu Li a day to build three. He also built some simple illusions so that others wouldn't be able to see through them.
The three Teleportation Formations were not far away, only hundreds of thousands of miles away. They could be useful in times of danger.
Uncle Li asked after Lu Li was done, "Master, do you think someone is going to do something to you?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li told Uncle Li about Patriarch Chen's message. Uncle Li said with a grave expression, "Then you do have to be careful. The six or seven thousand people that were expelled hate you. I didn't expect that they would have the guts to sneak into the Jilei Mountain.
Master, go and cultivate. I'll stand guard outside. "
"What six or seven thousand people?"
Lu Li didn't know about this yet. After Uncle Li told him about the farce, Lu Li put on a bitter expression, but he was not worried.
Because these six to seven thousand people were all ordinary martial artists. The strongest among them was only a Peak Second Tribulation Heavenly God. As long as he was given some time, even a Peak Second Tribulation Heavenly God would not be able to kill him.
"Uncle Li, stay alert. If anything happens, let me know immediately!"
Lu Li seized the time and went to the center of the Jilei Mountain to consume the Primordial Chaos Qi. At the same time, he continued to study the Fundamental Principle of Sword Intent and Frost.
Lu Li had been studying the Fundamental Principle for a year, but he hadn't mastered it yet. He even felt he had a long way to go.
Lu Li was not upset at all. Instead, he was happy.
If it were easy to learn a Fundamental Principle, then it must be a low-level one. Naturally, it wouldn't be powerful.
At this stage, Lu Li could already tell how powerful this Fundamental Principle was. He believed that when he mastered this Fundamental Principle, it would be more powerful than all the Fundamental Principles he had learned before.
"Someone is here!"
The first few days were peaceful. But six days later, Uncle Li noticed that someone had come to investigate. They were not strong but they were good at hiding.
"What are the warriors of the Palace of Black Mountain doing?"
Uncle Li murmured. Weren't there one hundred warriors stationed down there?
The Jilei Mountain was not a large place. How could they not know there were scouts sneaking in?
What Uncle Li didn't know was that the one hundred warriors and their leader had been bribed. They would ignore a large group of people, let alone some scouts.
"Patriarch Chen is gone!"
From a castle on the mountain of the Palace of Black Mountain came a voice of excitement.
Eight people were sitting in the castle. They were the most powerful among the group that was expelled. All of them were at the peak of Second Tribulation Heavenly God.
A brown-haired middle-aged man said with excitement, "Guys, let's talk about it. When should we do it?
How? "
Killing Lu Li was not difficult for them. It all depended on how.
After all, Lu Li was valued by Fairy Tian Yun and he was still at the Jilei Mountain.
If they did it openly, Fairy Tian Yun would question the Master of the Palace of Black Mountain. By then, the Master would order a thorough investigation, which would be troublesome.
"Brother Gong, I think we should send two warriors to the Jilei Mountain to cultivate and then we can find a chance to fight with Lu Li!"
A purple-haired middle-aged man said, "If there is conflict, we can fight. Then, we can set up an ambush at the foot of the mountain. Once there is a fight, we can rush up and kill Lu Li."
"What a lousy idea!"
The brown-haired middle-aged man called "Brother Gong" rolled his eyes and said, "That is a lame excuse. We might as well kill him openly. We have a grudge against Lu Li and someone is going to the Jilei Mountain?
Then, we can set up an ambush down there?
What is the difference between that and killing him openly? "
"How about …"
Another scholarly and young-looking powerful warrior said, "Let's talk to the guards and then we can disguise ourselves and rush up to kill Lu Li.
After we kill him, we can run away immediately and go back to the Palace of Black Mountain.
As long as we can't find any evidence, I don't think the Master of Black Mountain will investigate. "
"In that case, the warriors at the Jilei Mountain will be guilty of dereliction of duty!"
Brother Gong shook his head and said, "They will never agree. When Lu Li came, it was Patriarch Chen who brought him here. They know that Fairy Tian Yun values Lu Li. They will not do anything rash for us.
Sending our warriors to investigate and killing are two different things. "
"No, no, no. Are we not going to kill him?" The purple-haired old man was angry and shouted.
"Of course, we must kill him. But we must find some scapegoats. If something goes wrong, they can take the blame for us!"
Brother Gong thought about it and said, "How about this? We can arrange for some warriors to fight near the Jilei Mountain to attract the warriors there.
Then, we can sneak up and run away immediately after the killing. Nobody will know. Nobody can trace us. "
"I don't think we need to do anything!"
An old man said, "Given Lu Li's power, we can kill him easily if we send dozens of warriors.
We can set up an ambush nearby. If it doesn't work, we will go up. It will be safer this way. "
"I think it is to be foolproof!"
Someone added, "We need to bribe Commander Yang of the Jilei Mountain and ask him to cooperate.
Someone is fighting near the Jilei Mountain. It is normal for him to bring people there. I think he will cooperate! "
"Okay, it is settled!"
