It was easy to bribe Patriarch Gui. Patriarch Gui agreed at once when he heard that Lu Li could earn 100,000 divine stones by walking around in the valley as Lu Li.
Three days later, Lu Li made his move. He did not go out directly. Instead, he went into the mine. He knew that he was being followed and he must get rid of the stalker first.
The stalker was strong. He was not strong but his psychic power must be strong.
Lu Li activated the Trace of Dao. He could faintly feel that gentle breeze lingering around him.
He would not be able to tell if he did not sense it carefully. Even if he did, he would not be able to tell who was following him.
Lu Li went into the mine and dashed down for three thousand miles. He found the place where he and Patriarch Gui had agreed to meet. Down there, he saw another Lu Li, almost identical. Patriarch Gui was good at disguising.
"Help me change my appearance. Then, walk around in the mine for half a day and you can go and get the rest of the divine stones!"
Lu Li said. Patriarch Gui took out a kind of potion and handed it to Lu Li. "Put it on the place where you want to change your appearance. The potion will only last for half a day. After that, it will be useless.
Also, after you change your appearance, you may not be able to hide from powerful warriors. It will be up to your luck. "
"Understood!"
Lu Li nodded. He smeared the potion on his face. Soon, he became a burly man. He put on a black armor and dashed toward the other tunnels.
A moment later, Lu Li went into the Wicked Bead and flew inside.
Even if the stalker could keep track of him, he would not be able to follow Lu Li after he entered the Wicked Bead.
When Lu Li flew around in the Wicked Bead for a while, the stalker would have to search around. In the end, the stalker might find Lu Li in disguise.
Of course, it was not for certain. If the stalker was good enough to see through Patriarch Gui's disguise and followed him all the way, then there would be nothing Lu Li could do.
Lu Li had asked Patriarch Gui to disguise as him. He didn't care whether the disguise was useful or not. He flew the Wicked Bead around for the time for one incense stick to burn and then rushed up.
Lu Li was lucky. He flew for three thousand miles and only met two warriors who were average warriors at the initial stage of the Third Tribulation. They were frightened to see the Wicked Bead coming. Not to mention attacking, they were scared away.
"Hum ~"
Lu Li dashed out from the Wicked Bead and went back into the mountain. He flew the mountain for dozens of miles before he came out and dashed up.
"Alright, that's it!"
While running, Lu Li used the trace of Dao to sense. He was overjoyed to find that the barely discernible presence around him was gone. He rushed upward as fast as he could.
"Hmph!"
When he rushed through a mine, a cold snort came from there, and then a white light flew over. It was actually a sword qi.
There was an old man in the mine. Lu Li's reckless running seemed to have angered the old man. The old man attacked Lu Li without saying anything.
How could Lu Li be in the mood to fight with this old man?
He turned around with the Unfettered Steps and quickly retreated from the other tunnel.
The old man chased after Lu Li. But he didn't dare to go after Lu Li after sensing how fast he was.
Because Lu Li was running at the top of his speed, he ran into many people and was attacked by several of them.
That being said, he didn't fight anyone. Relying on his speed, he ran away directly. Twice, he survived two attacks and escaped.
Lu Li dashed out of the mine and walked toward a castle in the valley. It was impossible to walk out of the valley. He had to take Teleportation Formations to get out.
When he arrived at the castle, the two escorts threw him a glance but didn't mind. There was a chief steward in the castle who didn't say anything when he saw Lu Li.
Lu Li took out an Interspatial Ring and said with respect, "Lord, I want to leave the valley!"
There were so many people in the Valley of Ice and some would come and go from the outside. The chief steward didn't mind. He took over the ring and saw that there were enough Ice Heart Crystals. He gave Lu Li an ID jade talisman and said, "Okay, you are free now. Go to the side chamber and teleport out."
Lu Li walked to the side chamber at once. There was a Teleportation Formation guarded by two powerful warriors, both at the peak of the third tribulation.
Lu Li took the white jade talisman. The two warriors didn't say anything. They just activated the Teleportation Formation.
After a flash of white light, Lu Li appeared in a barren land. He looked at the mountains behind him that reached the sky, but he didn't seem to be happy.
He took a deep breath, took out a jade talisman and crushed it. He released his dragon wings and rushed toward the northwest as fast as he could.
He was out of the valley smoothly but it didn't mean he was safe!
It was half a day's journey from the nearest city. Lu Li believed that Patriarch Two would come to his senses soon and there would be pursuers.
What was more, it wasn't necessarily safe to go into the cities because the Sen Family's territory was nearby.
The Sen Family was powerful but it didn't mean that they were willing to offend the Pure Heaven Blood Eagle Race.
Therefore, the Sen Family wouldn't be happy to see Lu Li running away.
On the off chance that some big shots of the Sen Family said something, all the armies in the nearby cities would search for him.
Therefore, Lu Li didn't want to go to the nearest city. He wanted to go to the big city in the northwest.
Patriarch Two and the others would think that he was going to a small city. When Patriarch Two's men couldn't find him in the small city, it would be too late for them to come back. Lu Li could take advantage of the time difference and the possibility of him running away would be greater.
"Whoosh!"
He released his dragon wings and used the Happy Steps. His speed was at the top.
He was several times faster than before. Average warriors of the Fourth Tribulation Realm couldn't catch up with him.
In just a few blinks, he had vanished into the distance.
"Okay!"
After Lu Li crushed the jade talisman, another jade talisman in Qin Zhan's hand broke. Qin Zhan and Gan Lin were filled with smiles.
This was the signal they had agreed upon with Lu Li. The breaking of the jade talisman meant that Lu Li had left the valley successfully.
Now that Lu Li had escaped, the pressure on Qin Zhan and Gan Lin would be relieved. Patriarch Two's target was Lu Li.
It was Lu Li who killed the Pure Heaven Blood Eagle Race. Even if Patriarch Two captured them, he wouldn't be able to answer to the Pure Heaven Snow Eagle Race.
Therefore, when Patriarch Two got the news, he would go after Lu Li at once. Nobody would pay attention to Qin Zhan and Gan Lin.
Qin Zhan and Gan Lin didn't go out. They waited quietly in the cave. They prayed that Patriarch Two would find out later. The later Patriarch Two found out, the safer Lu Li would be and the safer they would be.
"Whoosh!"
Four hours later, a man dashed into the cave. Qin Zhan thought it was Patriarch Two's men. He didn't expect that it was Patriarch Gui …
"We need to leave now!"
As soon as Patriarch Gui came in, he said with a bitter expression, "This time, I have been tricked by you. I didn't know that Lu Li had escaped from the valley.
Patriarch Two has gone after him in person. If we don't leave now, none of us will be able to leave. "
"Patriarch Two has taken action?"
Qin Zhan put on a bitter smile. He didn't expect that Patriarch Two would take action so soon.
Lu Li was still in great danger.
Gan Lin looked at Patriarch Gui coldly and said, "We are us, and you are you. Why should I go with you?"
"Why do we have to separate ourselves from you now?"
Patriarch Gui said as if he had just lost his father, "I helped you disguise as Lu Li. Now, Patriarch Two has regarded me as one of you. I have to go with you now …"
