The Cliff of Souls was not far away from the Ghost Mountain. Of course, the Ghost World was not a large place. It would only take Lu Li seven or eight days to go around the Ghost World at his top speed.
The problem was that Lu Li could not fly at will. Patriarchs of the Valley of Souls were here. If he were to fly at random, he would run into those patriarchs. Once he was tracked down, he would be in big trouble.
Fourth-tribulation Heaven Immortals were not to be trifled with. For Lu Li, there was a difference in realms.
Lu Li did not fly very fast. The Cliff of Souls was to the north of the Ghost Mountain, a two-day journey. At his current speed, it would take Lu Li at least three days.
He used the Mark of Dao along the way to increase his senses. He flew in the forest in a low-key manner. He flew low and restrained his qi and energy, like a ghost. In this way, there wouldn't be too much fluctuation in space.
After flying for almost half a day, Lu Li didn't see a single person, which surprised him. Where were the Elders of the Ghost Valley?
Where were the warriors and scouts of the Valley of Souls?
Why didn't he see any?
Another two hours later, Lu Li finally saw a team of warriors. There were more than 10 of them searching nearby.
Lu Li, on the other hand, was relieved. He went around it and flew on.
"I hope I won't run into any patriarchs!"
Lu Li prayed to himself. As long as he didn't run into any patriarchs, regular warriors wouldn't be able to find him.
If he could reach the Cliff of Souls soundlessly and get out of the Hell Island, he would be far away by the time people here found him.
Half a day, a day!
What surprised Lu Li was that he didn't run into any patriarchs.
He had met a lot of soldiers, but he hadn't met a single one of the many Elders.
"Those patriarchs are avoiding me on purpose?
They want me to run away? "
An idea came to Lu Li's mind. Someone warned him on purpose, which meant that someone wanted him to run away and humiliate the Meng Family.
Lu Li didn't see any of those patriarchs. It was possible that the person had sent the patriarchs away on purpose.
Lu Li sped up, hoping to reach the Cliff of Souls as soon as possible. After another half a day, he was not far away from the Cliff of Souls. Lu Li was getting excited.
However …
His luck finally ran out. He sensed a powerful qi and energy in front of him. When he wanted to go around at once, a man was coming at him quickly. A surge of psychic power came and Lu Li was locked in.
"Fourth Lu!"
An old and cold voice came. Lu Li's expressions changed. He knew this person. It was a patriarch of the Valley of Ghosts, surnamed Fu. He was more powerful than Patriarch Yang and was a ruthless character.
"Xiu!"
Patriarch Fu flew over and was three hundred miles away from Lu Li in an instant. Lu Li released his dragon wings and flew away. He took a detour to the Cliff of Souls.
"Xiu!"
An air-piercing sound rang out in the sky behind him. Following that, a white light shot up into the sky. That white light exploded in the sky, and a huge firework bloomed. The dazzling white light illuminated a radius of a thousand miles. It could probably be seen from tens of thousands of miles away.
A signal flare!
Elder Fu had sent out a signal, and the soldiers in the vicinity would probably gather here immediately. At the same time, the news would also spread, and all the elders and soldiers would gather here.
"Damn it!"
This time, Lu Li's expressions changed completely. Once the signal detonator was sent out, he would be surrounded by people. He was about to arrive at the Flying Souls Cliff. Was he going to fail at the last step?
"Go!"
Anyways, he must take a gamble. What was more, he had a hostage. Would the patriarchs of the Valley of Ghosts dare to do anything to him?
He just hoped that the Meng Family, especially Meng Li's Third Grandpa, were not here yet.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
Teams of warriors swarmed over from all sides. This time, almost 10,000 warriors were sent in. They were in groups of dozens. Instead of fighting with the demons and beasts, they were here to look for Lu Li.
After the patriarchs came in, they had almost wiped out the entire Ghosts Region. Apart from some places with a high concentration of ghosts, most of the demons and beasts had been killed.
Of course, Patriarch Yang and the patriarchs didn't mind that many warriors had been killed or injured.
There were too many regular warriors. They could replace them if they were all killed. If Meng Li died, then the patriarchs would have a hard time.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li rushed on at the top of his speed. Patriarch Fu was far behind him. He didn't catch up with Lu Li.
Clearly, Patriarch Fu was not sure that he could kill Lu Li instantly. He was afraid that Lu Li would kill Meng Li.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
A team of warriors came from the front. They didn't have so many concerns. They all began to attack at Lu Li.
The team's attack was impressive. That being said, regular warriors could only be this strong.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li was not in the mood to fight with the regular warriors. He had already run away. A ray of Xuan Energy landed on him but it only made him tremble. Lu Li didn't slow down and continued to fly into the distance.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
More and more warriors were coming. Patriarch Yang had given his order. They must try their best to capture Lu Li. As long as they could capture Lu Li and save Meng Li, it would be a great contribution and Patriarch Yang would reward them handsomely.
Anyone that let Lu Li go on purpose would be killed on the spot.
Teams after teams of warriors came. There should be more than a thousand of them nearby. Lu Li was fast but the attacks were so intense that he could not dodge them.
Fortunately, his physical body was too strong. After withstanding more than a dozen attacks, he did not suffer any serious injuries.
Two hours later, Lu Li noticed that Patriarch Fu had been following him. Theoretically speaking, Patriarch Fu should be able to catch up with Lu Li.
After all, Patriarch Fu was quite capable. But he had been following Lu Li from a distance and didn't catch up, which bothered Lu Li.
Since Patriarch Fu didn't chase after him, Lu Li didn't mind. He flew toward the Cliff of Flying Souls. If Patriarch Fu were to attack him, he could use Meng Li as a shield. No patriarch would dare to attack him.
Lu Li was not far away from the Cliff of Flying Souls. After another hour, he could see an ocean in the distance. The Cliff of Flying Souls was in the ocean.
"Good!"
Lu Li looked back and saw that Patriarch Fu was still thousands of miles away. Lu Li relaxed a bit.
As long as he could enter the Cliff of Flying Souls, he would be safer.
He was not afraid of regular ghosts. No amount of ghosts could hurt him. But those patriarchs might not be fearless, right?
"Is that the Cliff of Flying Souls?"
Another tens of thousands of miles later, Lu Li saw endless cliffs with many caves in them.
Looking from the distance, Lu Li could see dark air billowing in the caves. He could sense the energy of demons from far away. That was indeed the lair of ghosts.
"Good!"
Lu Li was overjoyed. He spread his wings and flew on. However, he had only flown for three hundred miles when his expression turned awful.
He noticed that there were seven people standing in the ocean near the Cliff of Flying Souls. All of them were powerful and horrifying. Two of them made Lu Li feel suffocated. Clearly, they were the two most powerful patriarchs in the Valley of Ghosts.
