Everyone had the same question but they could not figure it out.
How could Lu Li get in so easily?
Why did so many people who rushed in earlier all die?
Was Lu Li proficient in Sacred Glyphs?
Or was the Blood Demon Formation useless?
"Can it be … Young Master Qin has attracted the Sacred Glyphs Plaza so the lake is safe now?"
Someone shouted in surprise. Everyone agreed with this speculation. Otherwise, there was no other explanation.
Lu Li didn't have any energy of treasures on him, nor did he use any powerful skills. How could he get into the lake so easily by just flying?
This was the only explanation that made sense.
"Should we go and have a try as well?"
Someone was greedy. They would have a head start if they went to the island now. There were so many elixirs on the island and every one of them was priceless.
"Don't do anything rash. You can die in there!"
Someone scolded. The ones who were about to make a move stopped.
Elixirs were precious but their lives were more important. They looked at Lu Li, wondering how far he could go.
Could he get to the island?
"It's him …"
Young Master Fu looked at Lu Li with coldness in his eyes. The others were filled with killing intent as well.
Of course, they thought it was because they had distracted the formation and Lu Li had taken advantage of it.
If Lu Li had mentioned going to the island to get the elixirs, they would have killed him.
"Whoosh!"
On the other side, Lu Li moved again. He leaped onto a reef 300 feet away. When he stepped on the reef, the rock glowed faintly. The water around him rippled, but nothing happened.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li ignored them. He was more confident now. He made two leaps and after more than 300 feet, he had reached the center of the lake.
"Let me try!"
One of them could no longer hold back his greed. As far as he could tell, Lu Li was only an immortal after one tribulation and he was at the peak of the second tribulation.
He could catch up with Lu Li easily and all the elixirs on the island would belong to him.
"Zhao Jie!
Don't be reckless! "
One of them wanted to pull Zhao Jie out, but it was too late. Zhao Jie shot out like an arrow across the lake towards the first rock that Lu Li could land on.
However …
What happened next shocked everyone. The man had only flown halfway when his speed suddenly decreased. Then, he lost control of his body and fell into the lake. He didn't even have time to scream before his body turned into bones and sank into the lake.
"Zhao Jie!"
"This …"
"What happened?"
Everyone was stunned. Lu Li had just rushed over here. How come he was fine while Zhao Jiequ fell into the sea?
Could it be that the Divine Rune Dojo was ineffective against Lu Li?
"Ugh!"
Lu Li was shocked as well. He sent a message to Blood Fairy at once. She explained, "The paths of survival will change. When you step on the reef, the path ahead will open and the path behind will change.
Anyone who follows behind you will die. Just continue forward. This path is very safe. "
"I see!"
Lu Li was relieved. He dared not to stay any longer. He quickly flew to the next reef and approached the island.
He also became excited. If the 13 of them wanted to reach the island, it would take at least an hour.
In such a long period of time, no matter how many divine herbs there were, he would be able to harvest them all.
"Hmph!"
The faces of the thirteen people on the platform darkened. Even Lady Qiong looked unfriendly.
If it was anyone in their shoes, they would be unhappy. They had worked so hard to keep the Divine Rune Dojo busy, yet Lu Li sneaked away alone and stole away the divine herb that belonged to them. How could they feel good about this?
The problem was...
What could they say?
Should they tell Lu Li to go back?
Or should they tell Lu Li not to take the divine herb?
Should they share it when they went up?
The gazes of Young Master Fu, Young Master Yan, and the others turned even colder. Everyone exchanged a few glances and increased the strength of their divine power, causing the treasures to fly even faster.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li kept on flying. After the time for a dozen breaths, he reached the island and stood on the beach.
But he did not rush forward. He just stood still and observed quietly.
"What!"
The mountain was in an uproar again. People were discussing and some were trying to find out who Lu Li was.
But Lu Li was not from the Sea of Storm. He was wearing a mask so nobody knew him.
After asking around, no one knew who Lu Li was. They didn't even know where he had come from.
Many people were envious. If Young Master Qin and Lady Qiong could get the divine herb on the island, they would be envious.
But now, they were envious. They were even filled with hatred and murderous intent.
Many people were cursing, saying that Lu Li was a despicable and shameless person when he sneaked onto the island while the 13 of them were distracting the Divine Rune Dojo.
Someone even yelled, telling Lu Li to stay where he was and not to do anything rash.
Otherwise, they would kill Lu Li when they got there.
Young Master Fu, Young Master Yan, and Young Master Qin said nothing. It was pointless to say such things. Given their status, they would not say such things.
They just urged their treasures and sped up toward the island.
They were one-third of the way there. They could smell the strong aroma, and there were more than a dozen different kinds.
There were at least a dozen divine herbs on the island and they were clearly of high levels. Otherwise, they could not smell such strong aroma from such a distance away.
Lu Li did not move. He was not scared by the others. He was telling Blood Fairy to find out the situation on the island.
It would take Young Master Qin and the others some time to get here. It would be fast for them to pick the herbs. Lu Li had to make sure that there was no danger.
The island was not small. Blood Fairy would need time. Lu Li was not in a hurry.
He tried to use psychic power but it was suppressed. He could only look around with his eyes.
"There is a divine herb over there!"
He saw a stalk of divine medicine under the rocks by the lake. That divine medicine could even sway slightly, like a water plant. It emitted a sparkling and translucent multicolored light, glistening brightly. It was clearly a divine medicine of the same level as the Qilin Sun Grass.
Though the divine herb was not far away, Lu Li did not act rashly. He waited for Blood Fairy's result.
The time for one incense stick to burn, two incense sticks!
Lu Li did not move. Young Master Qin and the others were surprised. Was Lu Li trapped on the island?
He could not move at all?
They were delighted. As long as they could reach the island, the divine herbs would belong to them.
They all had treasures with them. If they could withstand the Divine Rune Dojo in the lake, they could withstand the suppression from the Divine Rune Dojo on the island.
"Whoosh!"
After the time for half an incense stick to burn, Lu Li suddenly made a move. He dashed over like a ghost and grabbed a divine herb that looked like a green seaweed from under a rock by the lake.
That divine herb wriggled with all its might. The dense aroma spread out. Young Master Qin and the others almost lost their minds.
"This must be a top-level divine herb!"
Young Master Fu murmured. His eyes were spitting fire.
Young Master Yan and the others were not happy. Their faces were clouded.
The treasures that belonged to them had been taken by Lu Li.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li took out a jade box and threw in the divine herb. Then, he put it into the Wicked Bead. They cursed him for being a spendthrift.
