The mission given to Lu Li by the Hall of Patriarchs was simple. He had to go into an Earth Fragment of the Void to kill demons. There were many reasons for this mission.
For example, Lu Li tamed a Phantom King. Though the Phantom King was underage, the fact that Lu Li could tame it was proof that he was good at dealing with demons.
What was more, it was chaotic outside. The patriarchs had a discussion and decided that one patriarch would lead all the young masters and young ladies to go in and kill demons.
During this period of time, there had been too many demons in the Void Shatterer, which had seriously threatened the safety of the troops stationed there. During this period of time, Devil Palace and the Underworld Palace were in a chaotic battle, so the Elder Hall could not send more experts to clear them out. They could only send the younger generation in.
There were several benefits for the younger generation to go in. First, they could gain more fighting experience.
Second, these young people did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. They liked to go out and mess around. If they were not put in a place, they could get into trouble.
Third, Lu Li was the chosen one. He had to grow up with the young people, get to know them, and eventually become their closest comrades-in-arms.
Therefore, by putting Lu Li with the young people, they could work together. There had to be one side that had to be convinced. Either Lu Li would lose his position as the chosen one, or Lu Li would defeat them completely.
It was not Hu Bugui who came to assign the mission to Lu Li. It was an old master of the Hall of Internal Affairs, a good man.
"Chosen one, Chief Patriarch has given you instructions."
The old master looked at Lu Li with a smile and said, "There will be many young people going in. Chief Patriarch hopes that you can live in harmony and not fight among yourselves. Especially, you cannot hurt others.
If someone dies, no matter who it is, you will be held accountable. "
"Got it!"
Lu Li answered casually, but he didn't say anything. Of course, he wouldn't go looking for trouble for no reason.
He was afraid that those young masters and young ladies would be too young and aggressive to mess with him.
That being said, Lu Li could tell from Chief Patriarch's words that he did not want anyone to die. As long as no one died, everything else was negotiable. That was the bottom line.
Now that he had laid down the rules, Lu Li had nothing to worry about. Needless to say, the Phantom King and the Phantom Shadow were enough to make him invincible.
If he used the Mystical Iron, it would be too easy for him to injure them, let alone kill them.
"En … I cannot use the Divine Metal!"
Lu Li thought about it. He decided to find a way to consume that flying sword in a couple of days. That was a fragment of a Sovereign Weapon and it was quite powerful.
The combination of the Specter King's Ghostly Shadow Flying Sword could easily defeat an ordinary person.
There were three days to go before the departure. Lu Li planned to do nothing during these three days, just to consume the flying sword.
He locked himself in the side hall and took out the flying sword.
The flying sword was shrouded in black mist, and there was not a trace of luster on it. It looked like it had been tarnished.
Lu Li checked it for a while and poured divine energy into it. Nothing happened after a long time.
He thought about it and took out the Nine Wonders Mountain. He used the flames of the Nine Wonders Mountain to burn it, wanting to refine the ghost energy on it. In the end, it was useless even after half a day.
He tried to find a way to use other flames, but even after burning all kinds of flames, the evil aura did not disappear and continued to entangle the flying sword.
If he didn't get rid of the black gas, he definitely wouldn't be able to refine this flying sword.
"Oh right!"
Lu Li suddenly realized something. Wasn't this black gas the ghost energy?
Wasn't it because of the Specter King that the sword became like this?
Now, this Specter King was his beast.
The side hall was spacious. Lu Li took a look and let out the Specter King. Then, he told Blood Fairy to let the Specter King absorb the black gas on the flying sword.
The Specter King did not seem to understand Blood Fairy's words. However, when Lu Li handed over the flying sword and pointed at the black gas, the Specter King seemed to have understood.
The Specter King reached out its claw and grabbed the flying sword. Then, the claw glowed in a dark light and the black gas on the flying sword was absorbed.
"Good!"
Lu Li was cheered up to see that the flying sword was glowing again. The flying sword had become a Relic weapon again. It would be easier to take control.
What surprised Lu Li was that the flying sword was easy to take control. Meng Li's spiritual imprint was gone.
Was it because Meng Li was dead?
Or had she become an idiot?
Or was it because the ghost energy had destroyed Meng Li's spiritual imprint?
If the flying sword had someone else's spiritual imprint, then it would take a long time to take control. But this time, it was easy. In merely two days, Lu Li had taken complete control of the sword.
"Buzzing ~"
The flying sword glowed in green. At Lu Li's command, the flying sword danced around in the side hall. The speed was not fast because Lu Li was not familiar with it yet.
Gradually, the flying sword moved faster and faster. Lu Li was getting more and more comfortable with the sword.
In the end, he had to put the Specter King back. The flying sword was flying at its top speed and the side hall was too small. Lu Li was afraid that he might hurt the Specter King.
"Good, it is a fragment of a Sovereign Weapon. Good!"
Lu Li nodded. Needless to say, he was satisfied with the speed and agility of the flying sword.
Lu Li had experienced the sharpness of the sword. It could cut through his strong body easily. If he were to be attacked by the flying sword continuously, he would be reduced to a skeleton in the end.
There was one day left. Lu Li didn't go out. He controlled the flying sword to fly around in the side hall. He even made it fly in different angles, trying to control the sword as if it was his own arm.
Soon, the day passed. Jian Xiong, the escort leader, came in. Lu Li put away the flying sword and followed him.
Seeing Jian Xiong following him, Lu Li asked with a frown, "You are coming as well?"
Jian Xiong was only at the peak of the third tribulation. He would be a burden instead of a help.
Lu Li had to take care of Jian Xiong on the off chance that those young masters were trying to set him up.
"Immortal's son!"
Jian Xiong was serious in speech and manner, but he was respectful. He cupped his fists and said, "The broken space we are going to is called the Milky Way Realm. The situation there is complicated. I can help you understand the situation there.
Well … I will wait in the city. If you are going on a mission, I will not go out and add to your troubles. "
Jian Xiong was smart enough to know what Lu Li was thinking.
Lu Li nodded. Jian Xiong added after some thoughts, "Immortal's son, do you want some maids to take care of you?
I don't think I can come back anytime soon. I will have to stay there for a year and a half. The other young masters and young ladies will bring maids. "
Jian Xiong might be a escort leader, but he had been at the Palace of Rakshasa for many years. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the escort leader of Lu Li.
He knew the situation at the Palace of Rakshasa very well.
The battle with the Hell Palace this time would probably take at least a year and a half for both sides to stop.
The patriarchs wouldn't want the warriors to add to the troubles before the war ended.
What was more, there were more demons in the Milky Way Realm. It would take a long time to eliminate them.
"No!"
