The Pit of Sinister Evil was famous at the Sea of Storms. Many people at the Second Heaven, such as Patriarch Chen, had heard of it.
Lu Li didn't know much about the Second Heaven so this was the first time he had heard of it.
Legend had it that the island where the pit was located was occupied by a powerful warrior from the Third Heaven. He was poisoned by a strange poison at the Third Heaven and was chased by his enemies. Therefore, he had to flee to the Second Heaven.
After he went to the Island of Sinister Evil, hundreds of thousands of civilians were all poisoned to death. Even the flowers and trees on the island withered. The island became a dead island.
It was said that some powerful warriors from the Second Heaven went to the island but none of them came out. There was a bottomless pit in the middle of the island and it was filled with horrifying runes.
As time went on, more warriors went into the pit to explore but many never came out.
Tens of thousands of years ago, a powerful warrior went in and said — those below the third tribulation would die for sure and those at the third tribulation would have a 50% chance of dying. Warriors at the peak of the third tribulation wouldn't make much difference.
From then on, the place became a forbidden area. Those below the third tribulation would be courting death and those at the third tribulation would have a 50% chance of dying. Warriors at the peak of the third tribulation wouldn't make much difference.
Lu Li went in, which made Patriarch 13 and the others feel embarrassed.
There were many warriors below the third tribulation but they could not send them in.
There were more than a dozen patriarchs at the third tribulation but it was a big place. It was hard to say if they could find Lu Li.
It would be a great loss if some of them were to die in there.
Patriarch 13 had to wait for Yan Fengming's instructions. In just two hours, Yan Fengming's order came. She told everyone not to act rashly and to surround the Island of Sinister Evil. She would go down in person to bring back the body of the Hellkiller.
Lu Li had broken into 33 cities and slaughtered more than 100,000 people. He had humiliated the Hall of Black Flames.
If he didn't bring back Lu Li's body and only announced that he had killed Lu Li, nobody would believe him.
If Lu Li climbed out of the pit again, it would be a joke. Therefore, in order to wash away the shame, Patriarch 13 must go down and bring back Lu Li's body.
Thirteenth Elder mobilized a hundred thousand martial artists and surrounded the entire island.
At the same time, he was patrolling the island with more than a dozen patriarchs to make sure that Lu Li could not slip away.
Yan Fengming personally went down. Before he left, he left behind a jade talisman and a letter for the family head. This time, he was prepared to die inside, so he left behind his last words in advance.
…
"This place …"
Lu Li had entered the sinkhole. Looking from the outside, the sinkhole was dark. The sinkhole was not large, only with a radius of thirty miles.
However, there was a ray of light at the cave entrance. As soon as Lu Li touched it, he felt he was teleported away. He had fallen into a strange world.
It was eerie and gloomy!
This was the first thing he felt when he entered. He appeared in the middle of a wilderness. It was dark all around him, and there was a black aura lingering in the air.
The smell here was particularly uncomfortable. It was as if they were in a thousand-year-old tomb, and there were corpses buried inside.
"Divine will is being suppressed here. Very good!"
Lu Li noticed that the space was being suppressed by some divine runes. He could not use psychic power. Instead of being surprised, he was delighted.
The Black Flame Hall would definitely not let this matter rest. Soon, they would probably send someone over.
It would be safer for Lu Li if no one could use psychic power.
The effect of the elixir was fading away. He looked around and found nothing but silence. There was no sign of life, not even any trees or grass. There was no Xuan Qi in heaven and earth here. It was a dead land.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li used the Happy Steps and flew into the distance. He didn't dare to fly. He kept a low profile and used the trace of Dao to sense the surroundings.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, Lu Li didn't know how far he had gone. He felt the effect of the elixir was about to run out. He found a cave and sat down with his legs crossed, trying to dissolve the strange energy in his avatar.
If the Yan Family progenitor came after him, Lu Li would be tracked down sooner or later if he didn't dissolve the strange energy in his body.
At that time, Lu Li would be weak. Once he was found, he would be no different from a lamb.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, the energy was running out. But it was not finished yet.
The effect of the elixir was gone. Lu Li felt he had lost all his strength. He couldn't even stand up at this moment.
"I cannot fall asleep. I cannot fall asleep."
A strong sense of weakness came from his soul. He tried his best to fight back the drowsiness and fought on with his strong will power.
His will power was strong enough to hold on. He took out some pellets and swallowed them. He continued to rely on his will power to fight back the feeling of weakness in his soul and body.
"Buzzing ~"
He took out the Wicked Bead and teleported himself in. Then, he turned the Wicked Bead into a rock and hid in the cave.
He knew very well that if the Yan Family progenitor was in the cave, the Wicked Bead would have nowhere to hide. Lu Li could only hope for blessings.
Time moved on. Lu Li took some healing pellets. But he didn't feel any better. Instead, he was getting more and more tired.
Two hours later, Lu Li was half asleep. From the depth of his soul came some messages, telling him not to fall asleep and that he must hang on.
Four hours later, Lu Li finally recovered some spiritual energy. He knew he had made it and he would not fall asleep again.
Over time, he would recover. He tried to sit up. This time, he took some pellets to cultivate divine energy. The divine energy circulating in his body would help him recover faster.
It had been four hours since the pursuers had arrived. Lu Li should be safe for now or else they would have caught up.
Lu Li hoped that this place was infinitely spacious so that he would be teleported to a random location. In that case, he would be safer.
"Blood Fairy, reach out with your tentacles and check an area with a radius of several miles!"
Lu Li decided to let Blood Fairy do the scouting. It would be safer this way.
Blood Fairy's tentacles reached out from the Wicked Bead and reached into the ground.
"Master, there is nothing nearby. It is quiet!"
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, Blood Fairy sent a message. Lu Li began to cultivate divine energy. This place was vast. Even if there were pursuers, they might not be able to catch up with him quickly.
"What?"
After a while, Blood Fairy suddenly said, "Master, there seems to be something thousands of miles underground."
Lu Li's spiritual energy had recovered a bit. He asked with a frown, "What is it?
Are there corpses underground? "
"I don't know. I think there is an underground palace. The patterns in there are powerful!" Blood Fairy asked, "Should we go and have a look?
I think the patterns in the underground palace are more powerful than those at the Palace of Demons! "
"What?"
The patterns at the Palace of Demons were designed by the demon. If the patterns here were more powerful than those at the Palace of Demons, then did the one who designed the underground palace have a higher achievement in the study of patterns?
"Don't move!"
Lu Li said at once, "Let me recover first. If the demons and demons are released, I will not be able to run away!"
Touching the patterns could trigger something. If there were guardians, Lu Li would die a miserable death.
