"Take him down and bring his body back?"
Everyone at the Palace of Devils was taken aback by the old lady's words. Luo Feiyan's intention was clear. She wanted to kill Lu Li.
As for why he wanted to kill Lu Li?
The reason was clear — Lu Li had run away!
Lu Li cracked the Mysterious Heaven Talisman and escaped on the God Boat. He was out of the Dragon Raising Island and was running to the north of the Devil Sea.
It would only take him half a day to get out of the Devil Sea. Once he was out, it would be difficult to catch up with him.
"How dare you!"
Patriarch Feng, the Vice Patriarch of the Clan of Warfare, was not happy with Lu Li since Lu Li talked back to him. Patriarch Feng was filled with killing intent. He looked at Chief Patriarch and said coldly, "Chief Patriarch, let's go after him. We will be in trouble if he gets out of the Devil Sea."
"All of you, go ahead. I will have someone from the Mu Family send you a message along the way."
Chief Patriarch waved his hand and said to Yuan Lingyun and the others, "Behave yourself and go to the Old Man's birthday as usual. The gift is here. Qianqian will represent us."
Chief Patriarch gave Liu Qianqian an Interspatial Ring and then asked the patriarch of the Mu Family, "Where is Brother Wanyun? Take me to him."
Chief Patriarch left with the patriarch of the Mu Family in a hurry. Patriarch Feng went to the Teleportation Formation with a group of patriarchs. Liu Qianqian and the others felt they had lost their leader and were at a loss of what to do.
"Let's go. Let's pretend nothing happened!"
Yuan Lingyun forced herself to calm down. She felt bitter inside. Lu Li could go, but why did he have to take Mu Yingying with him?
This could get out of hand.
Chief Patriarch met Mu Wanyun in a castle. Apart from Mu Wanyun, there were several other patriarchs here. One was a patriarch of the Clan of Intelligence and the other two were patriarchs with real power.
Chief Patriarch walked in. Mu Wanyun put on a bitter smile and sighed, "Brother Liu, your Divine Son has gotten me killed. I think the Old Man is going to be furious."
"He is no longer the Divine Son of our family!"
Chief Patriarch said coldly, "He has betrayed us. Our Master has given the order to hunt him down, dead or alive."
"Betrayed us?"
Mu Wanyun's expression changed greatly as he said in a deep voice, "My Sacred Lady is with him. Could she be … being held hostage by him?"
"It doesn't matter if it's a hostage or not!"
The Great Elder said urgently, "I beg Brother Wan Yun to help me, think of a way to stop him. Can you send some people to open the Realm Gate to stop him?"
"Sure!"
Mu Wanyun nodded and said, "However, this place is too close to the coastline. He's riding on a Godspeed Boat, and he could change his route at any time. Although I've already ordered everyone in the north to intercept him, it will probably be useless. Whether he succeeds or not will depend on fate."
"Guards!"
Mu Wanyun said in a deep voice, "Order people of the Hall of Warfare to move out. Open the space gate and intercept them. Don't kill Lu Li, just stall him.
If we can take him down, that would be for the best. Also, ask the Elders and Consecrators of the Dark Hall to take action! "
"Also!"
Mu Wanyun's orders had practically never stopped. "Send word to all the Elders overseeing the north. Have them all move out, and have the people from the Intelligence Hall coordinate with them. We must stop the Godspeed Boat."
It was the birthday of the Patriarch of the Mu Family. Most of the powerful warriors of the Mu Family were at the God Shepherding Island. Many powerful warriors came as guests today as well. Therefore, Mu Wanyun couldn't send too many people out for fear that something might happen at the God Shepherding Island.
But Lu Li was only one person. He had mobilized at least 30 warriors of the Fourth Tribulation Realm and thousands of warriors. Together with scouts, he had mobilized almost 10,000 people.
Therefore, Mu Wanyun was confident that he could stop Lu Li. Patriarch Feng and the others had gone after him. As long as they could stop him, it would be the Palace of Rakshasa's business to deal with Lu Li.
The Chief Patriarch didn't go after him because Lu Li was not particularly powerful. Patriarch Feng was the Vice Patriarch of the Hall of Warfare and he was quite capable.
It would be more than enough for him to bring eight Patriarchs with him to capture Lu Li.
One more Chief Patriarch was not a big deal. Patriarch Feng could be informed of the situation at any time so that he could make plans at ease.
Mu Wanyun blocked off the information. Almost all the guests here didn't know what was going on, but they all felt something was not right.
After all, the fact that Mu Wanyun didn't show up was a big problem in itself.
Also, the Chief Patriarch and the others didn't show up. Only Yuan Lingyun and the other representatives were here. Mu Yingying didn't show up either. Nobody would believe that there was nothing wrong.
Of course, the guests didn't point this out. They all pretended that they didn't know. The Old Patriarch came out as well. He didn't show any strange emotions on his face. He accepted the congratulations with a smile.
The Old Patriarch didn't even ask why Mu Wanyun and Mu Yingying didn't come. The Old Patriarch had lived for so many years and was all-powerful at the Rakshasa Sea. What had he not seen?
If something big had happened, he would have been told. Since it was nothing, why would he ask?
It would affect his mood.
The group of people were all polite people. Everyone continued to eat, drink, and have fun. They all pretended not to know anything.
Only Liu Qianqian and Yuan Lingyun felt uncomfortable. Yuan Lingyun was worried that the fact that she helped Lu Li would be exposed. Liu Qianqian was wondering why Lu Li betrayed them.
Young girls' feelings were like poems. Liu Qianqian had a special feeling for Lu Li as well. It hadn't evolved into love yet, but there was some affection.
Lu Li's sudden betrayal made her feel pain and sadness.
Time moved on bit by bit. Mu Wanyun didn't show up. Two hours later, a piece of news was sent to the Mount God which almost made Mu Wanyun lose his temper.
Some Patriarchs went to the north to intercept Lu Li and they succeeded. However, Lu Li appeared outside with Mu Yingying as a hostage. The two Patriarchs didn't dare to do anything. They just watched Lu Li leave again …
Mu Yingying was being held hostage!
No wonder Mu Yingying would go to the Dragon Raising Island with Lu Li. No wonder Lu Li and Mu Yingying were acting strangely last night. Something must have happened last night.
"Did Lu Li spend the night with Mu Yingying?"
On this thought, Mu Wanyun couldn't contain his killing intent anymore. Holding Mu Yingying as a hostage was a small matter. But if Lu Li had violated Mu Yingying's chastity, then it would be a huge problem.
"Get Wanshan here!"
Mu Wanyun shouted. After some thoughts, he waved his hand and said, "Never mind. I will go in person."
Mu Yingying was in Lu Li's hands. Mu Wanyun was afraid that Mu Wanshan might be hesitant to make a decision and miss an opportunity. Mu Wanyun looked to Chief Patriarch and said, "Brother Liu, let's go together. Let's see if we can intercept him.
This traitor of your family is really something. He even dares to hold my great-granddaughter hostage. He is so lawless. "
"Ha, ha!"
Chief Patriarch said with a bitter smile, "Back in the days, he once held Su Yueqin hostage at the Hell Palace and destroyed her elixir. That grandnephew of Brother Meng of the Third Sect is a living dead now.
He went to our Palace of Luo and turned the world upside down as well. A man like him will cause trouble wherever he goes. "
"Let's go and get rid of this trouble!"
