It had been more than 10 days since they arrived at the Valley of Ghosts. Lu Li and Hou San had gathered a lot of information and learned about the Valley of Ghosts.
The Valley of Ghosts was a perilous place as well as a land of treasures. Dangers and opportunities coexisted here.
Shattered Void!
This was a strange landscape. It was like a small world inside, but different from regular worlds. To be exact, it was a broken world, an incomplete world.
The laws of this world were not complete, and there were many strange and terrifying places. Some of the voids had no light, some of them had no air, some of them were filled with ferocious gales, some of them were filled with evil things, and some of them were filled with demons and monsters.
Since the laws in the Shattered Void were incomplete, many strange things could happen and some treasures could be found. In other words, anything was possible here.
The Valley of Ghosts was such a strange place. There were many miraculous medicines and items, but there were also many evil beings.
Every once in a while, those evil beings would come out.
The warriors here were here to guard against those evil beings. The Palace of Hell needed the resources so there must be guards here. Also, if those evil beings were allowed to get out, the entire Hell Island would be in chaos.
Lu Li was a chief commander. It sounded like a chief commander's position was higher than a commander's but Lu Li realized that his position was nothing …
There were over 10,000 warriors in the Valley of Ghosts, divided into 10 battalions and 10 commanders. Theoretically speaking, the 10 commanders were under Lu Li's command, but that was not the case.
All the commanders here were under the command of a patriarch. Lu Li was the boss in name but the patriarch was the real boss.
Since this place was so important, the Hell Island would naturally send powerful warriors to guard it. There were 10 patriarchs here. Nine patriarchs were not in charge of daily affairs and one patriarch was in charge of daily affairs.
If the patriarch was not in charge, then Lu Li would be the boss here and all the 10 commanders would listen to him.
However, this patriarch was in charge of the 10 commanders. Lu Li was a mere figurehead.
He could not afford to offend the patriarchs who were fourth tribulation warriors. None of the commanders paid attention to him.
Even though they seemed to be polite to him, inside, they despised him. Some of them even sneered at him. They didn't take him seriously at all.
Lu Li originally wanted to be like a prisoner of war camp, using powerful means to subdue his subordinates. However, after seeing the current situation, he couldn't be bothered anymore.
Above, there were elders suppressing, and below, there were commanders who did not listen to orders. Even if he forcefully suppressed them, it would be useless.
Rather than wasting time, he might as well hide in his castle and cultivate quietly.
He arranged for Hou San to be a team leader in charge of more than a hundred people. He didn't care about anything else.
Patriarch Yang and the 10 commanders who had real power here didn't make things difficult for Hou San since Lu Li didn't fight for power or meddle in affairs.
They still had to give face to Lu Li. Otherwise, if Lu Li made a scene, they would be in trouble as well …
After Su Yueqin transferred Lu Li over, she didn't care about anything else. She didn't say anything about killing Lu Li.
As far as she was concerned, setting Lu Li up was enough to vent her anger. If Lu Li could survive in the Valley of Ghosts, it would be his capability.
At first, Lu Li went to do a roll call. But after half a month, he didn't go out anymore. Those commanders and Patriarch Yang didn't want to see him. They would be happy if he didn't go. It was better for him to cultivate in the castle.
His Dragon Wrestling Skill was about to be mastered. When he mastered it, he could release 10 times his strength. By then, he could even fight a warrior of the Fourth Tribulation Realm.
It was dangerous here. Would Su Yueqin send someone to plot against him?
Lu Li didn't know. Therefore, he must improve his abilities as soon as possible. After he could save his life, he would find a way to leave the Hell Island.
His time in the prisoner of war camp was comfortable. Hou Sai was even plotting how to get Black Flame Crystals to earn Divine Stones. Only then could he send someone to get information about Qin Zhan and Gan Lin.
Now, everything was like a reflection in the mirror. He could lose his life at any time.
Lu Li had to put all these thoughts aside and focus on cultivation.
After cultivating for more than half a month, Lu Li was alerted. Patriarch Yang sent someone to get him. He was asked to go with the two battalions to the Ghost Realm to wipe out demons.
"Wipe out demons?
Is Su Yueqin going to do something to me? "
Lu Li frowned. He had wronged Su Yueqin. It was Patriarch Yang who wanted Lu Li to do something because he was living too comfortably.
From time to time, wretched devils would rush out of the Spirit Realm, and the soldiers would occasionally enter the Spirit Realm to kill some of them. At the same time, they would also enter the Spirit Realm to harvest divine herbs.
Military orders must be obeyed. Lu Li didn't dare to disobey. He went out and went with the warriors of the two battalions.
"Greetings, Commander!"
The two commanders had been waiting with the army. They were displeased to see Lu Li late. They cupped their fists casually to salute him.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li waved his hand indifferently. One of the two commanders was surnamed Huang and the other Cao. Both were at the peak of the third tribulation. Commander Huang was older but Commander Cao was young. Of course, he was much older than Lu Li.
More than 2000 warriors walked into the depths of the Valley of Ghosts. The warriors here were quite capable. The fact that they could stay here for such a long time was proof enough.
Lu Li was in the middle. He followed the team into the depths of the Valley of Ghosts. In the deepest part of the valley was a huge teleportation portal.
There were many runes on the inside and outside of the portal. Lu Li also noticed that there were at least 10 layers of seals outside to prevent demons from breaking in.
"Go in and fight at will!"
Commander Huang waved his hand, and the soldiers in front rushed into the portal. Groups of soldiers followed closely behind, entering in an endless stream.
When more than half of the warriors went in, Commander Huang cupped his fists to Lu Li and said, "Commander, let's go as well."
Lu Li nodded and rushed into the portal with the two leaders.
As soon as he came in, Lu Li sensed something was off. A chilly air enveloped him, making him shiver. There were sounds of explosions all around. Many warriors were fighting.
It was the first time that Lu Li had seen the demons in the broken void. They were truly evil.
It was dark in the wilderness. The soil was black and there were not many plants. The Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was so thin that it was scary. Bones were everywhere. Lu Li felt this was hell.
There were some black forests nearby, and strange creatures were rushing out of those black forests.
Those strange creatures were black in color. Their lower body was that of a beast, like a scorpion, and their upper body was that of a human. Their faces were ferocious, like ghosts.
Those demons breathed out black air from their mouths and moved as fast as the wind. Their tails could shoot out poisonous stingers and their mouths could spit out poison. Their hands had sharp pincers. Before they started fighting, their appearance alone was enough to send chills down one's spine.
But the warriors that came in seemed to be used to this. They were not afraid at all. They fought at will against the demons.
The battle prowess of the army here was indeed much stronger. Although the demons were very strong, they could still kill them one by one.
"Commander, do you want to warm up?"
