Among the mountains and valleys, there was a sense of coldness and desolation everywhere.
The Spirit Realm had a very uncomfortable aura to begin with, and traveling through barren mountains like this only made one's heart palpitate for some reason.
In the mountains, a silhouette quickly floated over. He did not fly high in the sky, but instead flew close to the ground. The silhouette floated between the mountains, and his speed was too fast, like a ghost.
Lu Li restrained his qi and energy. Even though there were Ghost Worms and human-faced scorpion beasts in the wild, by the time they sensed Lu Li's qi and energy, Lu Li would be far away. Those evil beasts could only roar and fly back in embarrassment.
He had been flying in the mountains for almost an hour, but he hadn't found any powerful evil beasts, nor did he find too many evil beasts. There were only small groups of them.
Maybe the battle was so fierce that most of the evil beasts were attracted there.
There weren't many monsters in this area. Lu Li was a little anxious because he felt like there was a tail behind him.
He couldn't see the secret guard but he was sure that someone was following him.
The secret guard was so good at hiding. Also, he was following him from afar. Lu Li couldn't sense his specific location.
Lu Li had the Trace of Dao or else he wouldn't have been able to sense it. All he felt was that the space behind him was trembling and a faintly discernible qi and energy were locking onto him from time to time.
Since the secret guard was following him, then Meng Li, Commander Cao and the others must be behind him as well. Once they caught up with him, they would make a move. Lu Li must find a suitable battlefield as soon as possible.
With his current abilities, he should be able to fight against warriors at the peak of the third tribulation. However, there were two exceptions.
One was that Meng Li had many treasures and the other was this secret guard.
If it was someone like Commander Cao, Lu Li wouldn't be afraid even if there were 10 of him.
Lu Li must find a favorable terrain and a chaotic place so that he could fish in the fire and kill his enemies in the chaos.
Lu Li made up his mind and flew toward the highest peak of the Ghost Mountain. The elixir he was going to collect must be there as well. There must be many powerful monsters there.
"Roar, roar ~"
The closer he was to the highest peak, the more evil beasts and the fire-breathing ones appeared.
Lu Li sped on, ignoring them. He used the Trace of Dao to sense the powerful qi and energy in the mountains.
"Hmm?"
Thousands of miles away from the mountain, Lu Li stopped. His eyes were wide open, filled with fear.
At this moment, he sensed a fatal danger from the depths of his soul. There was a powerful existence on the highest peak.
"What should we do?"
Lu Li was a little hesitant. He just wanted to find a large group of monsters, not something that could instantly kill everyone.
There must be an incomparably tyrannical existence at the highest peak. If he brought Meng Li and the others there, he might not be able to escape.
He stopped, not daring to take the risk. Even though he was several thousand li away, he could still feel a fatal sense of danger.
This was even sensed through the Marks of the Grand Dao, so it meant that the existence within the peak had already exceeded his ability to deal with it.
"Let's take a look around here first!"
Lu Li thought about it for a moment and decided to walk around. If there were hundreds or thousands of monsters nearby, then he wouldn't have to take the risk.
He took a detour and flew away. Feng Biao, who was hanging behind him, also took a detour.
Feng Biao was scornful to see that Lu Li was afraid to go to the highest peak. Feng Biao was not in a hurry. He followed Lu Li leisurely, leaving behind hidden marks along the way.
After circling around the peak, Lu Li's face was filled with disappointment. Although there were monsters nearby, there weren't many of them. Most importantly, there were almost no ghosts around.
Those regular monsters could not cause too much trouble to Commander Cao and the others. It made no difference whether they were there or not.
"Should I ask Blood Fairy to build some dojos of Runes nearby?"
Lu Li thought about it but soon rejected the idea. Blood Fairy's dojos of Runes might be able to cause some trouble to Commander Cao and Commander Long, but it would not be able to defeat them. It would be pointless.
Meng Li, in particular, had so many treasures. Lu Li would not be affected at all.
"Whoosh!"
From the distance came three noises. Lu Li was taken aback. Meng Li and the others had caught up.
That secret guard did not show up, but the three of them did not intend to hide their tracks.
The three points were zooming in. Lu Li decided to throw caution to the wind. He did not leave. He stood on the peak of a small mountain and waited quietly.
"Whoosh!"
Soon, Meng Li and the others caught up. They stood in the air thirty miles in front of Lu Li. Meng Li stood there with a faint smile on his face. Commander Cao and Commander Long killed the monsters nearby.
Lu Li said nothing. He stood there in silence. Some human-faced scorpion-like beasts dashed over. Lu Li took out the Cauldron of Thousand Transformations and smashed at them. Those beasts were killed easily.
"My Great Commander, why didn't you return to your unit?"
Meng Li looked at Lu Li in a mocking manner. He had the pleasure of a cat catching a mouse. Meng Li had thought that Lu Li would not come to the Mountain of Ghosts and would wait at the exit to go out together.
Meng Li was worried about how to kill Lu Li quietly in the Valley of Ghosts. But now, the trouble was gone.
Lu Li did not want to waste time with him. He cut to the chase and asked, "Meng Li, are you here to help Su Yueqin?"
"How dare you!"
Meng Li pulled a long face and shouted, "Goddess is not to be offended. How dare you call her by her name?"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li laughed. He was no longer gentle. Instead, he was aggressive and unruly. He laughed and said with ridicule, "Not to be offended?
Meng Li, I see you like Su Yueqin a lot.
Have you ever held her hand?
Let me tell you the truth. When Su Yueqin was being hunted by Xia Demon, she was already in a coma. I touched her … every part of her. It was a wonderful feeling! "
"Courting death!"
Meng Li flew into a rage. His eyes turned blood red. He flew over and a saber appeared in his hand. He charged at Lu Li without a care for anything else.
Su Yueqin was his goddess. He had never held her hand. How could Lu Li say that he touched her all over?
How could Meng Li not go crazy?
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li stepped back while laughing. This was the effect he needed. He wanted to enrage Meng Li and make him lose his mind. Only in this way could he find a loophole and defeat Meng Li.
"Boom!"
Meng Li swung his black saber at Lu Li. A streak of light came out and cut at Lu Li.
Lu Li had sensed it by activating the Mark of Dao. He used the Footwork and turned around. He floated to the left. The streak of light landed on the mountain, leveling a forest and creating a huge ravine.
The earth trembled. Beasts flew away in fear. Dust billowed and the noise was earth-shattering.
Meng Li was strong and had profound divine energy. That move must have been imbued with the Destruction Fundamental Principle. If Lu Li was hit, he would be hurt even if he was not seriously injured.
"Whoosh!"
Commander Cao and Commander Long flew over and went after Lu Li from the left and right. That secret guard didn't move, but Lu Li could tell that he was lurking in the dark. If something went wrong, Lu Li would deal him a heavy blow and finish him in one move.
"Die, die, die!"
