As soon as Lu Li took out the Godspeed Boat, many people were alarmed. There were many scouts in this area, including those from the other three forces and many middle-sized forces.
Not everyone knew about the Godspeed Boat. However, when Lu Li suddenly took out such a treasure, he was so fast that all the scouts were taken aback. They immediately sent back the news through various channels.
The news spread to all sides of the Devil Sea like snowflakes. Some old demons nearby got the news and they all swarmed over.
Half a day, in just half a day, almost all the forces at the Devil Sea had received the news.
The Mu Family, Pavilion of Paradise and Palace of Devil all made their moves, and quite a number of them. The Mu Family and Pavilion of Paradise each sent out 10 Patriarchs, led by powerful warriors like Third Master Meng.
The Palace of Devil sent out fewer warriors. It seemed that they only sent out some regular Patriarchs.
That being said, the Palace of Devil itself wanted a piece of the pie.
Lu Li had become a rare commodity, or in other words — a rat on the street that everyone wanted to beat up.
There was no other way!
Lu Li was an innocent man who would get into trouble because of his wealth. He was not powerful, and he was alone. He didn't have any forces to support him, but he had valuable treasures on him.
He was like a lamb walking in the wild. Every beast in the mountain would want to bite it.
Many old demons also made their moves. Everyone wanted the Godspeed Boat. Even if they didn't sell it, it would fetch a high price.
To have a Godspeed Boat and travel at the Devil Sea was something to be proud of.
Lu Li flew toward the southeast of the Devil Sea. If they flew at a normal speed, they wouldn't be able to catch up with him.
There were only two ways to catch up with Lu Li and intercept him!
The first way was to take long-distance Teleportation Formations and teleport continuously.
The second way was to use the Land Gate. All the big forces had ways to open the Land Gate and they could be teleported over precisely.
Third Master Meng chose to open the Land Gate. As a matter of fact, they could teleport all the way over, but Third Master Meng didn't think it was safe. He asked Patriarch Huo and Patriarch Yun to teleport after Lu Li.
He led the members of the Meng Clan and flew towards Hell Island. He wanted to open the domain gate and directly go to the edge of the Rakshasa Sea. He wanted to wait in front.
The Hell Island had many scouts outside and many small forces were under their control. When they went back, they could send someone to coordinate. In this way, they could intercept Lu Li no matter which way he went.
Lu Li was not good at fighting. As long as he had a good plan, Third Master Meng and the others could take him down as soon as he got close.
Not only would he be able to wash away his shame, but he would also be able to obtain a rare treasure.
In addition …
Third Master Meng suspected that Lu Li had other valuable treasures on him. He was not making baseless accusations, but a well-founded suspicion.
This was because Meng Li's entire body was filled with treasures, and so was the Goddess's body. The Goddess also had a Holy Artifact Shard. The Specter King alone was not enough to take down Su Yueqin.
What was more, Lu Li was not injured in the fight with Su Yueqin, which was suspicious.
Since Lu Li could take out the Godly Speed Boat so easily, it was not surprising that he had other treasures on him.
That was why Third Master Meng was excited. Capturing Lu Li might bring him some unexpected gains.
After Third Master Meng went back, he asked Second Master Meng to coordinate. Third Master Meng gathered several patriarchs and 10 of them opened the domain gate to the Tiger Island at the southeast of the Rakshasa Sea.
The opening of the domain gate was fast. It only took them less than a day to get to the Tiger Island from the Rakshasa Sea.
The Godly Speed Boat was fast, but it would take them at least a day to get there. Therefore, Third Master Meng could take his time to plan.
Many forces that were hiding in the dark were mobilized. Second Master Meng was coordinating. He also mobilized many small and medium-sized forces that were inextricably linked to the Hell Palace.
When Third Master Meng and the others arrived at the Tiger Island, they received a message. Lu Li was on his way and he was about a day away.
Third Master Meng planned to divide into three lines of defense. Three patriarchs would form a group and each would lead someone to intercept Lu Li.
However, there was another piece of news that made Third Master Meng a little vexed.
The Pavilion of Heaven, the Mu Family and the Rakshasa Palace all sent people out. Some reclusive demons came as well. All of them were gathering here.
Third Master Meng could tell with his toes that they were here for the Godly Speed Boat. Everyone wanted to fight for it.
"No!"
Third Master Meng thought about it and sent a message back to ask the Hell Palace to mobilize more powerful warriors.
If Lu Li fell into the hands of other families, he would still die, but the significance would be completely different.
Also, Lu Li might have some valuable treasures on him. Therefore, Third Master Meng had to capture Lu Li.
Third Master Meng had planned to divide his forces, but now he had to change his plan. With the involvement of several forces and those old demons, he could be killed by the other forces.
Third Master Meng mobilized all the scouts and locked onto Lu Li's whereabouts. Then he made some calculations and took action with all the patriarchs, ready to take Lu Li down once and for all.
"Asura Island!"
Third Master Meng pointed to a point on the map and said, "We will go there from here. If Fourth Master Lu's route is not changed much, he must pass by here. We will intercept him there. Send someone to spread the net nearby and we will close the net here!"
After the plan was decided, Third Master Meng made some arrangements and teleported over with the nine patriarchs.
…
At the southeast part of the Devil Sea, Lu Li flew the God Speed Boat over. Along the way, he ran into many enemies, but they were all low-level warriors. None of them were too powerful.
Every time someone tried to intercept him, Lu Li would send out the Specter King, which would be easily killed. Then he would keep flying.
It had been a whole day, but Lu Li didn't feel happy at all. Instead, he felt more and more gloomy.
The God Speed Boat was fast, but it didn't mean that Third Master Meng and the others would be at a loss and chase after Lu Li like idiots.
None of the powerful warriors made a move, so it was highly possible that they had all gone to the front.
Lu Li thought about turning around. The problem was that if he flew in another direction, it would take him longer. If someone wanted to intercept him, they could easily set up a trap.
Therefore, Lu Li had to go all the way. He only hoped that the enemies would not react as fast as he thought and that he could get out of the Devil Sea.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
From the front came a noise. Lu Li sensed it at once. He used psychic power to check and a glint of coldness rose in his eyes. The God Speed Boat glowed and the Specter King dashed out.
More than a hundred warriors came from the front but all of them were warriors of the third tribulation. The Specter King dashed over like a bolt of lightning. His body flickered and soon, the more than a hundred warriors were minced into pieces.
The Specter King was as powerful as the middle stage of the fourth tribulation. Those warriors of the third tribulation were simply courting death.
A group of warriors of the third tribulation wanted to take the God Speed Boat. It was like ants trying to swallow an elephant.
"Move!"
After the more than a hundred warriors were killed, Lu Li collected their Interspatial Rings and put the Specter King back in. Then he controlled the God Speed Boat to move on.
After half a day, Lu Li steered the Godly Speed Boat to a stop. He had a bitter expression on his face.
In midair, there were three people standing in a fan shape. They had restrained their qi and energy, but Lu Li could tell that they were Divine Gods of the fourth tribulation.
