Lu Li stayed on the island for three to four days. Then, he went out to interrogate two scouts.
He learned that he had caused quite a stir. Many speculated that he was a disciple of an ancient family from the Third Heaven. Others speculated that he was a descendant of a hidden tyrant of the Second Heaven. But nobody suspected that he was Lu Li.
Lu Li was relieved. Based on the scouts' understanding, he had three targets, all of which were bands of bandits.
Two bands of bandits were as famous as the Seven Luminaries Legion. The leaders of the three bands were all at the peak of the second tribulation.
As a matter of fact, there was another band of bandits that was active nearby. But Lu Li did not dare to make a move because the leader of that band was a god of three tribulations.
Lu Li was fast and he was not afraid of a god of three tribulations. That being said, he decided to be careful and try not to run into one. If something went wrong, he would be doomed eternally.
Lu Li took action. Taking advantage of the darkness, he flew toward the base of a band of bandits nearby.
Bands of bandits specialized in looting. They had no humanity and committed heinous crimes. Lu Li wouldn't feel guilty even if he killed them.
The base of that band was not on the island, but under the sea. It was said that it was in a cave.
Based on the information provided by the scouts, Lu Li flew for most of the night and found the area at dawn.
He flew around a nearby island. Making sure that this was the place, Lu Li went into the sea quietly. He concealed his qi and energy and slowed down.
He used the trace of the great path to increase his senses. He could sense the surroundings.
There were Beasts of Primordial Chaos in the sea, but not powerful ones.
There were many battles nearby. Many warriors had gathered. The powerful Beasts of Primordial Chaos were intelligent. They knew to seek fortune and avoid danger. They had run away.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
Some Beasts of Primordial Chaos were coming. Lu Li didn't want to attract too much attention. He released the dark golden Worms of the Void.
He didn't use too many, just a few. The dark golden Worms of the Void had gone over. Those Beasts of Primordial Chaos had no time to fight back. They were bitten into bones in an instant. Blood dyed the area red.
Lu Li sped up. The blood would attract more Beasts of Primordial Chaos.
He snuck down along the island. However, dozens of miles later, many Beasts of Primordial Chaos swarmed over.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li had to send out more Worms of the Void. One by one, the dark golden Worms of the Void swarmed over. All the Beasts of Primordial Chaos that came close were reduced to bones in an instant. The dark golden Worms of the Void were too strong.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lu Li sensed something strange. There was a ripple of water and it was moving deeper into the lake.
Low-grade Chaos Beasts did not have spiritual intelligence and did not know fear. That was why they would not run away.
There was a creature moving downwards. It was definitely a person. It was very likely that it was a scout from that army.
"Whoosh ~"
Lu Li sped up to the extreme. In a blink, he had covered dozens of miles. His psychic power was locked on to one person.
Clearly, this person was a scout. He reacted quickly when he sensed Lu Li was approaching. Instead of attacking, the scout took out a ball-shaped object and poured divine energy into it. The ball-shaped object glowed.
"Hmph!"
Lu Li snorted. The dark golden Worms of the Void swarmed out from the mountain and swarmed into the man's body. The man's head was bitten off at a speed visible to the naked eye. The iron ball in his hand dimmed down as well.
Lu Li reached out and took the ball. He glanced at it and found that it really was a signal flare.
This scout wanted to use this signal flare to warn his people, but the dark gold void worm was too fast. He didn't have time to detonate it.
"Here it is!"
Lu Li nodded. The information was correct. Down below should be the temporary stronghold of this "Ghost Slayer" group of roving bandits. Lu Li released more Worms of the Void to kill the Beasts of Primordial Chaos coming from all directions. Then, he rushed down.
"Found it!"
A moment later, he discovered a few scouts, as well as a pitch-black cave entrance. Outside the cave entrance, there was a Divine Inscriptions Dojo, isolating it from the seawater.
"Who is it?"
Several scouts unsheathed their weapons. Lu Li was wearing the Ghost Mask so it was hard to see his face. His eyes were emotionless as he said, "I am here under orders to see Lord Ghost and talk about cooperation!"
"Under orders?"
The scout did not let his guard down. He asked, "Whose orders are you here under?
What kind of cooperation? "
Lu Li was intrigued. "I am here under orders from my Island Owner. My Island Owner is Chen Tianfang. Have you heard of him?"
"Chen Tianfang?
From the Four Flat Island? "
The scouts let their guard down a bit. Still, one of them said, "Stand still. Take out your ID token. I … have seen the token of the Four Flat Island!"
"Okay. Catch it!"
Lu Li grabbed at the mountain, pretending to grab something. In fact, it was dozens of Worms of the Void. He threw them over and they flew away.
"What?
Wait — "
Out of instinct, that scout tried to grab them. However, when he checked with psychic power, he realized that they were worms.
He wanted to yell at the scouts, but they were so close. The Worms of the Void dashed into the scouts' bodies. They were reduced to a mist of blood and eaten up.
Lu Li did not go into the cave rashly. Instead, he said to Blood Fairy, "Blood Fairy, there are Divine Glyphs where I am. Take a look and see if they are impressive."
Some Divine Inscriptions were naturally formed by the Heaven and Earth and were inscribed by experts.
The other type was formed after many experts comprehended the Laws of Heaven and Earth and transformed it.
Divine Glyphs were the embodiment of laws in nature. They could evolve into many skills and moves.
After what happened in the dungeon of the Palace of Demons, Lu Li was very careful about places with Divine Glyphs. One careless move and he could be trapped to death.
Blood Fairy reached out her tentacle to check the Divine Glyphs at the cave entrance. A moment later, she retracted her tentacle and said, "These are simple Divine Glyphs. They are not offensive!"
Blood Fairy might not be the best when it came to Divine Glyphs, but she could not be wrong about something like this. Lu Li took out the Seven Star Saber and was ready to dash in.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Before he could go in, he heard many noises coming from the cave. Following that, many people came out. In the time for a few breaths, hundreds had come out.
The Ghost Hunter had more members than the Seven Luminaries Legion. There were over a thousand of them. Inevitably, the number was uneven. Lu Li could even see that many of them were at the first tribulation.
A group of people rushed out and immediately surrounded Lu Li. Lu Li must have alarmed the band of roving bandits when he killed those few people.
Lu Li stood in the middle, allowing the bandits to surround him. He used psychic power to check the cave, waiting for the leader to come out.
"Who dares to stir up trouble in the Ghost Hunter?"
A bell-like voice came out. Following that, a tall and strong man with red hair and a huge axe on his back came out with a group of warriors. This man had horns on his head. He did not seem to be a pure-blooded human.
"What?"
