Lu Li was already near the Ghost Mountain, but he didn't go back to the team yet. He found hundreds of ghosts for Specter to devour. Specter's strength had been further improved, but its momentum had slowed down.
After reaching a certain level of strength, every step forward would be extremely difficult. Only by devouring more ghosts could Specter truly transform.
Of course, it was also possible that devouring ghosts could no longer make Specter more powerful. Specter needed to devour more powerful monsters. Lu Li had considered this.
Lu Li didn't make any progress in his Dragon Wrestling Skill. He had been to many places along the way, but it didn't bring him any inspiration. The bottleneck was still a bottleneck.
He knew that the army had entered the Ghost Mountain. He didn't hurry to catch up. He was waiting for the army to enter the deepest part of the Ghost Mountain. By then, there must be powerful monsters and he would have a chance.
He had made it clear that he must capture Meng Li so that he could have a chance to escape from the Valley of Ghosts.
He could not kill Meng Li. Once he did, he would be in trouble. There was a powerful barrier in the Valley of Ghosts and 10 patriarchs. He could not escape.
He could capture Meng Li and put some Worms of the Void in his soul. In this way, he could kill Meng Li at any time.
Patriarch Yang and the others would be cautious and the Meng Family wouldn't dare to do anything. Lu Li could kidnap Meng Li and leave the Hell Island.
As long as they left Hell Island, they would be able to swim freely in the vast ocean and fly freely in the vast sky.
The Hell Palace wouldn't send their most powerful warriors to hunt him down.
Even if they did, he still had a chance of survival.
He would die for sure if he stayed here. He was like a beast in a cage. The Hell Palace could kill him however they wanted.
Now that he had made up his mind to capture Meng Li, he didn't have too many concerns. He couldn't care less about the lives of Commander Cao and the other warriors.
Of course, he wouldn't kill those warriors on purpose. He just needed to find a chance.
The only thing that bothered him was Hou San. Since this little brother was following him, he couldn't just ignore him.
However, he couldn't do anything now. He had to wait for the right chance to save Hou San and take him away.
Lu Li walked around the Ghost Mountain and found hundreds more ghosts. After Specter devoured them, his qi and energy didn't improve much.
A day had passed. Lu Li went up the mountain.
He followed the route of the army up the mountain. It was safer and more concealed this way.
He didn't want to alert the enemy. He just wanted to follow them secretly.
He traversed through the forest like a ghost. Along the way, he found two scouts. Those scouts were top-notch scouts, but they couldn't find him.
He possessed the Great Dao Mark, and his perception was heaven-defying. It was far too difficult for these scouts to discover him.
Lu Li went around the scouts and moved on. After half a day, he found the main force easily. He sensed from afar and was glad that he had arrived just in time.
There was a battle going on. Lu Li didn't even have to go over to check. He could sense that the battle must be fierce.
On the other side, the sky was dark and gloomy, and the miserable cries of cultivators could be heard. One could also hear the angry roars of Commander Cao and the others. Without a doubt, the battle situation was not good.
Lu Li sneaked over and at the same time, he used the Great Dao Mark to check. Three hundred miles away from the army, Lu Li had a general sense of the situation there.
The situation was not good. Of the 2000 warriors, there were less than 1500 left. The army was surrounded by beasts, including Nether Worms, human-faced scorpion beasts, phantoms and something else that Lu Li had never seen before.
That monster had three legs and it stood upright. It could breathe fire from its mouth and the temperature was very high. It was not big in size but it was fast, even faster than the ghosts.
This kind of monster was the most lethal, and many soldiers were burned.
Of course, the reason why those warriors could survive until now was that there were not many ghosts, only dozens of them.
Meng Li was fighting dozens of ghosts by herself. Otherwise, if the ghosts got into the army, they would have been wiped out.
Meng Li had a black flag in her hand. Rays of black light came out from the black flag and danced in the air, which could inflict continuous damage to the ghosts.
Lu Li also noticed that there were three lamps around Meng Li. The lamps were flying around him quickly.
Many ghosts tried to attack him but they all ran away in fear when they touched the lamps. Clearly, the lamps were horrifying.
"He is full of treasures!"
Lu Li exclaimed to himself. The saber in Meng Li's hand and the armor he was wearing were all treasures. There must be Enchanted Souls in his soul. This young master was armed to the teeth.
"Hou San is still alive. Good!"
Lu Li noticed a familiar figure. He smiled. This Hou San was not good at fighting, but he was good at staying alive.
But on second thought, the fact that he could survive the battle at the Palace of Demons at the Hell Island spoke volumes.
Lu Li was not in a hurry to take action. He continued to lurk and look for a chance.
He continued to sense through the Great Dao Mark, looking for the hidden secret guard.
"Found him!"
Soon, he sensed a weak qi and energy. It was near the battlefield, hiding deep.
If it were not for the fact that Lu Li had the Great Dao Mark, he would not have been able to sense the qi and energy of life.
"Meng Li, Commander Cao and Commander Long are not to be feared. But this secret guard is a bit troublesome."
Lu Li frowned. Meng Li seemed to be full of treasures and he was very powerful. But this kind of young master was the easiest to deal with.
Since this secret guard was sent to protect Meng Li, he must be more powerful than Meng Li. Otherwise, why would he be sent here?
"I don't think he is at the Fourth Tribulation Realm!"
Lu Li sensed for a while and he had an idea. He had met some warriors at the Fourth Tribulation Realm and they could not hide their power. This person must be at the peak of the Third Tribulation Realm since he was hiding his qi and energy so well.
Lu Li, who was at the peak of the Third Tribulation Realm, was not so stressed. He stayed still and waited in comfort, like a wolf on the hunt.
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li could sense the secret guard and the secret guard could sense Lu Li as well.
His name was Feng Biao. He was the No. 1 killer under Patriarch Yang's command. He was very good at stealth and assassination.
Feng Biao once offended a big family and was hunted down for 10 years. He ran away again and again and finally came to the Hell Palace.
Relying on his powerful abilities, Feng Biao was soon put in an important position. Unfortunately, he was lustful and played with women he did not like. In the end, he was banished to the Valley of Ghosts and became a dog of Patriarch Yang.
If Lu Li didn't sense him, maybe Feng Biao wouldn't know Lu Li was here.
As soon as he sensed Lu Li's whereabouts, Feng Biao was alerted. But he didn't do anything. He continued to hide in a tree and became one with the tree.
Feng Biao's eyes flickered. Lu Li was here but he didn't join the fight. Instead, he was hiding on the side?
Then Lu Li's intention was clear. He must be trying to kill Meng Li secretly.
After some thoughts, Feng Biao moved his lips and locked onto Meng Li with psychic power. He said, "Young Master Meng Li, I am a secret guard sent by Patriarch Yang. My name is Feng Biao. I am here to protect you. You can ask Commander Cao to confirm my identity.
I found … the commander is here and he is hiding nearby. He may do you harm. You must be careful. "
Feng Biao reminded Meng Li. In this way, when Lu Li secretly made his move, Meng Li would be prepared. By then, Feng Biao would have an easier time.
Meng Li's heart trembled, but he didn't show it on his face. He continued to fight with the ghosts while thinking. Soon, he put on a smile.
