Lady Yi was gone. Her fragrance lingered in the hall. Lu Li did not lose himself in the fragrance. Instead, he was absorbed in Lady Yi's words.
Lady Yi's words didn't seem to come from her. It was more like … Fairy Tian Yun asked her to pass on the message.
Otherwise, how could a little girl say something so profound and meaningful?
"Accumulation on the road?
More haste, less speed? "
Lu Li repeated these two sentences for a long time. Was it a warning to him — he was growing too fast, that he must stabilize his mind and build a solid foundation, and that he should not be in a hurry to improve his abilities?
"Um …"
Lu Li realized he was getting carried away. He sat quietly in the castle for three to five days to calm himself down.
He didn't go to see Fairy Tian Yun in a hurry to ask how things were going at the Jilei Mountain.
Instead, he cultivated quietly in his room.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and Fairy Tian Yun had yet to summon him.
But today, Patriarch Chen came to deliver a message to Fairy Tian Yun.
"Lu Li!"
Patriarch Chen said with a smile, "Hei Shan came back in advance. He killed the commander and warriors of the Jilei Mountain. He promised that this will not happen again.
Also … those who came after you have been driven out of the Palace of Hei Shan. If you want to cultivate, you can go to the Jilei Mountain at any time. "
"Hei Shan is so cowardly?"
Lu Li knew something about Hei Shan. He was surprised.
Theoretically speaking, Hei Shan should not be afraid of Fairy Tian Yun. If she questioned him, he would just deal with it. He could just say that he knew how to handle it.
But after killing the commander and the commander of the Jilei Mountain, he was going to drive out all those who came after him?
Was he bowing down to Fairy Tian Yun?
"Ha, ha!"
Patriarch Chen's attitude toward Lu Li had taken a 180-degree turn. Pointing to the sky with a smile, Patriarch Chen said, "Fairy Maiden has gone to the devil. The devil has spoken in person. How can the Black Mountain not be afraid?"
"No wonder …"
Lu Li finally understood. He was completely relieved.
Since the Great Demon King had spoken, he would be absolutely safe in Jilei Mountain in the future.
Once he arrived at Jilei Mountain, Hei Shan would probably send more people to guard the place, in case something like this happened again. At that time, the Great Demon King would definitely be dissatisfied.
"Thank the fairy for me when you get back!"
Lu Li cupped his fists, stood up and said, "Then I will go to the Jilei Mountain to cultivate. I haven't consumed all the Primordial Chaos yet."
"Alright!"
Elder Chen nodded and said, "I'll send you over. I'll negotiate with the people from Black Mountain. You'll be safer there."
"Thank you, Elder Chen!"
Lu Li expressed his gratitude. They walked down the Heaven Clouds Peak. When Lu Li saw the Tower of Demon Banishment, he was intrigued. He sent a message, "Right, you said that I can go in and out of the Tower of Demon Banishment at will?
Elder Chen, do you think you can bring me into the Yao-Sealing Tower?
I will release some worms and let them devour and evolve on their own. "
Lu Li wanted the Worms of the Void to divide more so that the golden Worms of the Void could evolve more.
"No problem!"
Fairy Tian Yun had told Patriarch Chen about these matters. Now that Lu Li had said so, Patriarch Chen showed him to the Tower of Demon Subduing at once. Patriarch Chen said to the leader of the Tower of Demon Subduing, "Open the door to the second floor!"
"The second floor?"
Lu Li frowned. Would it be dangerous to go to the second floor?
Granted, his defensive abilities had been greatly improved. However, the demons had too many strange abilities. He had to be on guard.
"Lu Li, don't worry. I will go with you!"
Patriarch Chen's message calmed Lu Li down.
The leader activated the mechanism of the Tower of Demon Banishment. A dark door appeared on the second floor.
Patriarch Chen said to the leader, "Later, I will crush the jade talisman. Teleport us out at once!"
"Yes!"
Patriarch Chen was the No.1 Patriarch. His words were equivalent to Fairy Tian Yun's orders. Nobody dared to question him.
Patriarch Chen took Lu Li with him and dashed into the door of the second floor directly.
"What ~"
Hundreds of people gathered outside the Tower of Demon Banishment. They were gambling around the old dragon. They were in an uproar upon seeing this.
It was not strange for Lu Li to go to the second floor of the Tower of Demon Banishment. But Patriarch Chen was going with him and he was going to ask the leader to teleport them out later?
Was this equal to letting Lu Li have fun?
The No.1 Patriarch of the Mountain of Cloud would go to the second floor of the Tower of Demon Banishment with him in person?
He could go in and out at any time?
This kind of treatment would make others envious.
That being said, Lu Li had moved to the peak of the Cloud Peak. For him, going to the Tower of Demon Banishment was just a trial.
The purpose of going to the Tower of Demon Banishment was to get a better ID token so that he could live and cultivate in a more advanced place.
Many people were envious. But … nobody dared to hate Lu Li, let alone have the intention to kill him!
Many people of the Mountain of Cloud were not convinced when the six or seven thousand warriors were driven out. They hated Lu Li secretly and were looking for a chance to kill him.
When what happened to Gong Zizai and the others came to the Mountain of Cloud, those who hated Lu Li shut their mouths and dared not to hate him.
Lu Li had killed several warriors at the peak of the Second Tribulation and more than a thousand Second Tribulation Heaven Immortals as a first tribulation warrior. Lu Li's glorious achievement had slapped many people who were jealous of him in the face. They dared not to hate him or have the intention to kill him.
This was the reality of the world. When you were powerless and yet you were treated well, with good treasures and resources, many people would feel unfair. They would be jealous and have the intention to kill you.
But when you have absolute power, the hatred and jealousy in these people's hearts will disappear.
They would be terrified, they would be convinced, and they would think that you deserved it. Some of them would even take a 180-degree turn in their attitudes and start to fawn over you.
What was more, the Black Mountain admitted defeat and killed the leader of the guards and drove out those who were going after Lu Li.
This made people feel that Lu Li was unfathomable. Or, did Lu Li have a powerful background?
Otherwise, the Asmodian Lord would not have spoken.
With this speculation in mind, people were envious of Lu Li. They could not … hate him!
They didn't even dare to speak ill of Lu Li in a group, for fear that Lu Li would bear a grudge or Fairy Tianyun would be angered.
"Back in the days, we used to bet on when Lu Li would die!"
Someone muttered. The people nearby heard it and their faces immediately turned red.
Back then, nobody had faith in Lu Li. Not only did they think he could not pass the Tower of Demon Imprisonment, but they didn't think he could survive another day.
How long had it been? Lu Li could already kill warriors at the peak of the Second Tribulation Realm. Many people here were Second Tribulation Heaven Immortals. The dragon was the only one at the peak of the Second Tribulation.
More importantly, they had lived for a long time. Their abilities were growing too slowly. That was why they felt bored and decided to gamble with Divine Origin Gold …
Lu Li was so young, but he was more powerful than them. Many of them thought they had been living in Beasts of Primordial Chaos all these years.
"Actually …!"
The dragon raised his eyebrows. What he said stunned everyone. "When this punk went to the Tower of Demon Imprisonment, he was not strong. At best, he was comparable to an average Second Tribulation Heaven Immortal. It was thanks to those bugs that he passed the first level of the Tower of Demon Imprisonment.
I think his abilities must have improved recently to be able to kill Patriarch Gong and Patriarch Zhao. "
"Hiss, hiss ~"
The warriors were speechless. Sometimes, they could cultivate for hundreds or thousands of years and they could only improve a little.
What Lu Li had cultivated for a year, they would have to spend tens of thousands of years or even their entire lives …
"All of a sudden, I want to be the banker!"
The dragon smiled and said, "I bet that in 10 years, this punk's comprehensive abilities can reach the level of a Three Tribulation Heaven Immortal. Bet if you don't believe me!"
…
