"Whoosh!"
Eight powerful warriors were flying fast in the wild. The leader was the most powerful patriarch of the Haunted Valley, Patriarch Huo. His full name was Huo Yuanfeng.
In addition to the eight patriarchs, more than half of the army was here. They were searching for Lu Li all over the world.
Patriarch Huo encountered the army led by Hou San. He didn't say anything about Hou San's complaint. He didn't want to care about the relationship between Hou San and Lu Li.
He just flew to the Haunted Mountain with the seven patriarchs after he found out the situation.
Lu Li flew to the Haunted Mountain after he saw Hou San and the others.
With the Elders' speed, it only took them a day to arrive at the Nether Demon Mountain.
Patriarch Huo and the others started to search the mountain. They didn't miss a single place and searched for every trace.
Apart from Patriarch Yun and Patriarch Huo who were not afraid of the important figures of the Meng Family, the other patriarchs were afraid. Therefore, they were very serious.
It was a pity …
They searched the entire Nether Demon Mountain, but did not find anything.
Patriarch Huo went down to the cave where Lu Li went. When he came back … he didn't find anything.
"Where is the Phantom King?"
The patriarchs were confused. This was the lair of the Phantom King. He couldn't have left his lair unless he was attacked too strongly.
Could it be that Lu Li had defeated the Phantom King or lured him away?
"Let's spread out and keep in touch with scouts. We will gather at the Haunted Mountain in 10 days!"
Patriarch Huo waved his hand and the patriarchs started to search. Patriarch Yun didn't leave. Instead, he walked to Patriarch Huo.
He looked at Patriarch Huo with suspicion and asked, "Patriarch Huo, did you find something?"
"Yes …"
Patriarch Huo smiled mysteriously and said, "That kid is underground.
He set up a good Divine Rune and hid his qi and energy. He thought I couldn't find him. Ha, ha! "
"I see!"
Patriarch Yun thought about it and asked, "What should we do next?
Should we secretly tell him to go to the tunnel? "
Patriarch Yun knew what Patriarch Huo was thinking. Patriarch Huo wanted to see Third Master of the Meng Family flustered and humiliated the Meng Family.
Therefore, he hoped that Lu Li could get out of here. As long as Lu Li went out, things would be out of control. In the end, whether Lu Li could leave the Hell Island or not, Patriarch Huo would have achieved his goal.
Of course, there was a premise here. He couldn't let others get hold of him. Otherwise, Old Huo and he would be in trouble.
"There's no hurry!"
Elder Huo said with a smile, "Let's give him some hints later, and then we'll search around.
If he can't even understand this, then just wait for the Meng Clan to kill him. "
"Buzz ~"
A light flashed from Old Huo's Space Ring and a Specter appeared. Old Huo reached out and grabbed the Specter in his hand.
The ghost was originally a soul body, but now it was caught by Elder Huo like a duck. It had to be said that Elder Huo's methods were powerful.
Elder Huo released a few divine powers, and rays of light enveloped the outside of the ghost monster. Elder Huo then suddenly threw his hand, and the ghost monster actually sank into the ground.
"Let's go!"
Elder Huo smiled and flew up. Elder Yun seemed to be thinking and flew away.
As for the specter, it quickly traveled underground. After traveling for tens of thousands of miles, it accurately smashed into a rock in the cave.
"Buzzing ~"
The rock was the mountain. When the specter smashed into the rock, the mountain glowed faintly. Inside, Lu Li's hair stood on end. He tensed up.
He used psychic power to check, and then he was stunned.
There was a specter outside. It seemed to be bound by some special force. After it smashed into the mountain, it stopped moving and floated outside.
"What is going on?"
Lu Li was confused. He spread his psychic power to all sides at once, but he could not find anyone.
He flew out from the mountain. Looking at the specter in front of him, he didn't know how to react.
"Buzzing ~"
He released Ghost Shadow and it devoured the specter. The force that bound the Valley of Specters disappeared. The specter was real, not an illusion.
"What is going on?"
Lu Li used the Trace of Dao to check. There was no one nearby. The specter seemed to have come out of nowhere.
He thought for a moment, then flew out of the cave and circled around the area.
"Someone has been here!"
He found some traces nearby. Clearly, someone had been searching around. A rock at the entrance of the cave was broken. Lu Li put it there on purpose.
Someone had been here and then disappeared. Did a specter smash into the mountain?
Lu Li thought quickly. Soon, he was sure of one thing — someone had seen him and it was a warning!
Lu Li had no friends at the Hell Island. Why would this person help him?
The person must be powerful to be able to find the runes underground and use such a powerful means to warn him.
This person could be a powerful patriarch of the Valley of Specters. But why would this person help him?
What was more …
What was the point of warning him?
Warning him that he had been discovered and that he should go somewhere else to hide?
The Ghost Realm was only a small place. Where could he go?
"No!"
Lu Li suddenly shuddered. He thought of that ghost!
This person could have used other means to warn him. Why would he go to such great efforts to catch a specter?
"Cliff of Souls!"
Lu Li yelled in surprise. He remembered the legend that Commander Long told him. There was an exit to the Ghost Realm and that exit might be at the Cliff of Souls.
"Could it be a trap?"
Lu Li had his doubts but soon, he dismissed the idea.
Judging by the means of that person, if he had taken action, he wouldn't have had a chance to run. He might not even notice when the mountain was sealed.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li was a man of swift and decisive action. He took out the map and flew toward the Cliff of Souls.
While he was flying, he pondered. He was getting excited.
Not much time had passed. It should be a patriarch of the Valley of Specters.
The Meng Family should not be here yet. Someone among the patriarchs of the Valley of Specters might have a grudge against the Meng Family and hoped that Lu Li could escape and embarrass the Meng Family.
This was a good chance. Before the Meng Family came, Lu Li must reach the Cliff of Souls as soon as possible. Then, he would have a chance to escape from the Ghost Realm.
As for what to do after he left the Ghost Realm?
How to leave the Hell Island? Lu Li didn't think about that. It was too far away for him now. If he could not leave the Ghost Realm, he would die for sure.
"Such a pity …"
Lu Li used psychic power to check the mountain. The Phantom King had consumed Lu Li's elixirs and was growing out arms and wings.
However, from the looks of it, it would take at least ten days to half a month for it to grow back. It would take at least half a month for it to recover its combat strength.
"You are overthinking!"
Soon, Lu Li forced a smile. So what if the Phantom King grew claws and wings?
After all, this was an immature Phantom King. It could only kill average fourth tribulation warriors. Powerful warriors of the Meng Family could kill it easily.
"Let's go!"
