Commander Long was a bit hesitant but he didn't think about it for long. Commander Cao was right. They had scouts at the foot of the mountain. They could send the scouts up to inform Meng Li. They should be safe at the foot of the mountain.
Commander Cao had already said so. Was he too afraid to do it in front of Meng Li?
He would be looked down upon by Meng Li.
He cupped his fists and said, "Commander Cao, I will leave Young Master Meng's safety to you. Do not let anything happen to him."
Commander Long's beautiful words satisfied Meng Li. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Be careful. We will walk for half a day and wait for you. We will leave marks on the way."
"Okay!"
Commander Long cupped his fists and flew toward the Mount of Serenity. He was praying that he wouldn't run into the Phantom King or he would die.
Commander Cao looked at Meng Li's injuries and said, "Young Master, how about you rest in my Interspatial Artifact?
If anything happens, I will inform you immediately. You should suppress the ghost energy in your body. Otherwise, it will harm your body. "
"Okay!"
Meng Li nodded. He didn't want to fly with injuries. They were so far away from the Mount of Serenity. Since the Phantom King hadn't caught up with them, they should be safe.
What was more, he had the Phantom Energy in him and he had lost his flying sword. His abilities were greatly reduced. Even if he was in danger, he wouldn't be able to use much of his abilities. He might as well rest and heal in peace.
Cao Tong took out a pagoda and put Meng Li in it. Then he flew toward the exit. He left some marks along the way. Commander Long would be able to find them and catch up with the army.
He flew forward and didn't get entangled with any evil beasts. He tried to be as careful as possible. Once he sensed a large group of evil beasts ahead, he would avoid them.
After flying safely for half a day, he arrived at a mountain. It was a famous mountain called the Bald Head Mountain.
On their way here, they had fought and killed many evil beasts. There shouldn't be any evil beasts coming here for a while.
He circled around and made sure it was safe. Then he dug a cave and waited in there.
He was waiting for the army to come back and for Feng Biao to come back.
As for Lu Li, he had forgotten about him. He believed that Lu Li, who was so badly injured, could not have survived.
After all, they were able to escape because Feng Biao was covering their retreat. Feng Biao would not cover Lu Li's retreat. He might even lure the Phantom King to attack Lu Li.
Time passed bit by bit, and soon half a day had passed.
The army had yet to arrive, and this made Commander Cao a little worried.
However, when he thought about how the army was on the mountain and how many people there were, it was impossible for the journey to be peaceful. Perhaps in another half a day, the army would arrive.
"Hmm?"
More than two hours later, Commander Cao's eyes suddenly opened. He discovered the sound of light footsteps. Someone was approaching.
His Divine Sense immediately surged forward like a tide, but his body quickly bounced back, his face full of shock.
Commander Long, the army, and Feng Biao didn't come for him.
The person he had been waiting for was someone he could never have imagined, Lu Li!
From the distance came a man, like a ghost. He was wearing a cyan robe that was ragged. There were many bloodstains on him, and his hair was unkempt. He cut a sorry figure.
That being said, his eyes were sharp and there was a gentle smile on his face. He looked like a hunter who had spotted his prey.
"He made it back?
And he caught up with us so quickly? "
Commander Cao looked awful. Meng Li was injured, Commander Long was not here, and Feng Biao's status was unknown.
It would be difficult for him to stop Lu Li on his own. Although Lu Li seemed to be injured, this person was very strange.
How could he not be strange if he could escape from the Phantom King?
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li laughed when he saw Commander Cao. Meng Li was injured and she could not be on her own. Commander Cao had a small pagoda in his hand. Needless to say, Meng Li must be in there.
One could wear out iron shoes in fruitless searching, only to find it by chance.
A good-for-nothing Commander Cao and an injured Meng Li were nothing for Lu Li. He had thought that Commander Long would come with them, but it was just Commander Cao.
As for how Lu Li escaped, it was simple!
More importantly, he was a Second Tribulation Heaven God. He appeared to be weak, so weak that the Phantom King didn't even care about him.
It was like a powerful human being was attacked by a group of warriors. In a fit of rage, he came out to kill. He must be looking for the most powerful warrior to hunt him down.
What was more, Feng Biao was strong. He had been hunted by a force for a long time but he was still alive. From this, one could tell that something was wrong.
After Meng Li and the others ran away, Feng Biao didn't run away at once. Instead, he fought with the Phantom King for a while.
During this time, Lu Li didn't move. He pretended to be weak and seriously injured.
This successfully paralyzed both the Phantom King and Feng Biao.
Of course, with the Phantom King chasing after him, Feng Biao did not have the chance to attack Lu Li.
When Meng Li and the others were far away, Feng Biao ran to another side at once. With the Phantom King chasing after him, Lu Li could run away easily.
On the surface, Lu Li seemed to be seriously injured after being attacked by three people. But in fact, his bones were not broken. He went down the mountain with ease and began to chase after Meng Li.
Meng Li must have run to the exit since she was badly injured. Lu Li followed this route.
Along the way, he sensed the mark left by Commander Cao through the Trace of Dao. It was easy for him to find this place.
"Bang!"
The mountain exploded. Commander Cao flew up. Glaring at Lu Li, he said, "Fourth Brother of Lu, don't do anything rash. Young Master Meng's great grandpa is the Great Patriarch of the Palace of Hell. If you do something rash, nobody in the world can save you. You can't even get out of the Ghost Valley. Even if you can, there are 10 patriarchs out there. Do you think you can get out of the valley?
At the very least, once you are out of the Ghost Valley, Great Patriarch will take action. He is a warrior at the peak of the fourth tribulation. Where can you run to? "
This time, Commander Cao was not arrogant. He knew that he might not be able to fend off Lu Li on his own. Meng Li might not be reliable either. Now, he could only rely on the name of Great Patriarch to scare Lu Li.
Was Lu Li a pushover?
Lu Li smiled gently. He didn't waste any more words. He dashed forward like a mad dragon. The Cauldron of Thousand Transformations transformed into a saber and he hacked at Commander Cao. A ray of sword light appeared. The saber made several turns in the air and the pressure from heaven and earth pressed down on Commander Cao.
"Buzzing ~"
At the same time, many Worms of the Void came out from the Wicked Bead in Lu Li's hand. They swarmed toward Commander Cao.
This was the first time that Lu Li released Worms of the Void. At first, Commander Cao thought they were Phantom Worms …
"Buzzing ~"
