Lu Li went back to the underground palace to cultivate divine energy. It was quite a scene outside the Pit of Shady Air. Many patriarchs and Grand Master of the Hall of Black Flame were here.
Two days ago, the jade talisman of life left by Yan Fengming was broken, which alarmed Grand Master of the Hall of Black Flame.
At the moment, many heroes were gathered in the Pit of Shady Air. Patriarch 13 had mobilized 100,000 warriors to surround the Island of Shady Air. Not even a fly could get out.
Patriarchs of the Hall of Black Flame were divided into two groups. One group insisted on sending people down to see if Lu Li was alive or not. The other group advocated to wait and see.
The Pit of Shady Air was horrifying. So many warriors had gone down in history and only a few came back alive.
Even those that came back didn't find anything and were warned not to go in.
Now that Yan Fengming had died in there, it was a testament to how horrifying it was.
However, the shame of the Hall of Black Flame could not be washed away before they could confirm if Lu Li was still alive. Could the Hall of Black Flame announce that Lu Li was dead?
What if Lu Li was still alive and had made it out?
"Shut up!"
Grand Master of the Hall of Black Flame waved his hand and said, "Patriarchs, don't go down. Send tens of thousands of warriors down with jade talismans. If you find Lu Li, send a message."
It was not difficult for the Hall of Black Flame to mobilize tens of thousands of regular warriors. They didn't even have to send their own warriors. They could just send in warriors from smaller forces that were affiliated to the Hall of Black Flame.
Grand Master of the Hall of Black Flame said so. Patriarch 13 picked out 50,000 from the 100,000 warriors and made some arrangements. All of them flew into the Pit of Shady Air.
Grand Master of the Hall of Black Flame was ready to abandon all the 50,000 warriors. He only wanted to prove that Lu Li had died in there.
The 50,000 warriors were teleported in at random. In an instant, the pit was crowded with people.
They were searching for traces and clues, looking for Lu Li.
Too many warriors had come in. In merely eight or nine days, some had arrived near the underground palace. The traces of battle were so obvious that they found the cave soon.
"Eh?"
Lu Li, who was cultivating in the underground palace, was alarmed. He sensed the noise from the cave outside. A glint of coldness rose in his eyes.
He took out the Divine Iron in one hand and the Seven Stars Saber in the other. he used the trace of Dao to sense.
Soon, he frowned. Three people entered, but they weren't strong. They were only at the Second Tribulation realm.
"Could they be sent by the Black Flame Hall?
Then why didn't we meet anyone before? "
Lu Li thought about it but could not find the right answer. The three of them had already rushed in, so Lu Li didn't bother with pleasantries.
His body rushed out of the underground palace. He put away the Godly metal and the Seven Star Battle Saber, and just like that, he proudly rushed out.
"Boom!"
His speed was too fast. Before the three of them could react, his two punches landed on two of them. The two of them instantly exploded into a mist of blood. They didn't even have the chance to scream.
"Hell Killing God?"
The other one shouted with uncertainty because Lu Li was not wearing the bronze mask. The long sword in his hand glowed and he stabbed at Lu Li.
Lu Li rushed over without fear. He took the man's move and grabbed the man's neck with one hand. Lu Li said coldly, "Don't move or you will die right away!"
The man's body trembled and a look of fear appeared on his face. He roared angrily, "Hell Killing God, we have 50,000 people here. Can you kill them all?
This time, you will die for sure. "
"Just as I thought …"
Lu Li felt relieved. It seemed that these people were sent here by the Black Flame Hall. Lu Li thought about it and said, "I don't know if I will die or not. But if you don't cooperate, I can kill you right away.
Think about your family. If you cooperate, I will spare your life. Anyway, the Black Flame Hall won't know. "
"Hmm, I am a man of the Black Flame Hall when I live and I will be a ghost of the Black Flame Hall when I die. Just kill me!" The man was tough. With a glare in his hand, a jade talisman appeared and he was about to crush it.
"Bang!"
Lu Li's senses were so sharp that he crushed the man's head at once. He took the jade talisman from the man's hand and frowned. It seemed that the 50,000 people were here to search for him and make sure if he was dead or alive.
"Okay!"
Lu Li flew up and dashed out to search the nearby area.
In the time for one incense stick to burn, he had found two men. He wounded them badly and cut off their hands at once to prevent them from sending out signals.
"Do you want to live or die?"
Lu Li put on the bronze mask and squatted on the ground, looking at the two men. He looked quite horrifying with the mask on.
He said coldly, "I have killed many people and they all chose to die. If you want to die, I will fulfill your wish."
"Kill me. I would rather die than surrender!"
One of them was tough. Lu Li fulfilled his wish and killed him in one move. But the other one was clearly a coward. He crawled up, knelt on the ground and said, "Lord, don't kill me. I want to live."
Now that someone was afraid, things were easier. Lu Li had obtained the information he wanted, including the purpose of the 50,000 people and the situation outside the island.
"Grand Master of the Black Flame Hall is so generous. He sent 50,000 people here to die just to make sure if I am alive?"
Lu Li curled his lips. An idea came to him. He took out two jade talismans from the dead man's ring, one cyan and the other white.
The two jade talismans had different meanings. The white one meant that Lu Li was dead and the cyan one meant that Lu Li was still alive.
Lu Li did not crush the white jade talisman right away. Instead, he threw the crippled man into the Wicked Bead and began to search around.
He found several more people. More of them were afraid. Lu Li asked and was sure that the white jade talisman meant that he was dead.
He took out all the Interspatial Rings and crushed all the white jade talismans. He wanted to send a false message — to mislead the Hall of Black Flame into thinking that he was dead!
In this way, the armies and powerful warriors of the Hall of Black Flame would evacuate. Lu Li could go back and teleport out, which would be much safer.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li didn't think he had crushed enough jade talismans. He was afraid that those up there might not believe him. He wandered around and killed anyone he met. He took the Interspatial Ring and crushed the white jade talisman.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Above the Pit of Darkness, more jade talismans were crushed at the same time. Patriarch 13 was delighted and said, "Grand Master, the Hell Killer is dead. I have received confirmation from more than 30 people. I think it is true."
"Did anyone crush the cyan jade talisman?"
Grand Master of the Hall of Black Flame asked cautiously. Patriarch 13 shook his head. Grand Master of the Hall of Black Flame thought about it and said, "Let's wait for more."
"Bang, bang, bang!"
More and more white jade talismans were being crushed. After 10 to 10 hours, more than a thousand white jade talismans had been crushed. This time, the patriarchs of the Hall of Black Flame were relieved. It seemed that Lu Li had died down there.
"Let's retreat!"
Grand Master of the Hall of Black Flame exhaled. He thought about it and said in a low voice, "Go and get a body and a mask similar to that of the Hell Killer. Bring them back and tell the world that the Hell Killer has been killed by the Phoenix Cry progenitor."
"Okay!"
Thirteenth Elder gave some instructions, leaving behind an elder and a portion of the soldiers to guard this place. The rest of the people left.
