The target was not the Melody Territory, but the nearby Water Ant Territory. That force was not well-known. Many people here didn't even know about it. It was called the Palace of Black Moon.
The force was not based in the city, but in a mountain. The force was low-key and the warriors rarely came out.
But this force made many smaller forces nearby fearful. Even the governor of a nearby city didn't dare to provoke the force.
The master of the Palace of Black Moon was a woman, a twisted witch. She was proficient in all kinds of evil skills and had a deep understanding of Sacred Glyphs. She was fond of male pets and her methods were vicious. Those that fell into her hands would suffer miserably.
The Palace of Black Moon had three warriors at the middle stage of the Fourth Tribulation and five at the initial stage. Six of them were females, some young and some old. Their personalities were twisted and twisted.
Some time ago, the old witch captured a young master and tortured him to death. The young master's family didn't dare to seek revenge. They had to sell their family's assets and come to the Hand of Darkness to issue missions.
The old witch was not particularly powerful. But her methods were vicious and she was proficient in evil skills. Powerful warriors could kill her in one move.
That being said, the old witch had been living a comfortable life. Her surname was Yue and the Yue Family was a powerful force here. The old witch's family didn't like her or else she wouldn't have created the Palace of Black Moon.
Even though the Yue Family didn't like her, she was still a member of the Yue Family. If she was killed, the Yue Family would look into it.
Therefore, the major families and powerful warriors nearby didn't dare to touch her even though they didn't like her.
The information was in the intelligence. Lu Li said he had a fifty-fifty chance of winning because he was worried about the old witch's evil skills.
He wasn't afraid of the Palace of Black Moon's Sacred Glyphs. Several warriors at the initial stage of the Fourth Tribulation could pose no threat to him. As for the three at the middle stage of the Fourth Tribulation, he was confident that he could deal with them.
What was more, the Palace of Black Moon was not far away from the base camp of the Yue Family. If Lu Li killed everyone and the Yue Family found out, he wouldn't be able to make it back to the Mystical Sonar City.
Lu Li had to wipe out the Palace of Black Moon and then go back to the Mystical Sonar City at once. He would claim the reward and leave on a super battleship.
"Gan Lin!"
Lu Li thought about it and said, "Go and find out when the super battleships of the Realm of Mystic will depart and how long it will be."
Gan Lin went out to gather information as soon as Lu Li gave the order. Lu Li said to Qin Zhan, "Go and find out about the Yue Family. Focus on the relationship between the Yue Family and the Shrine of Melody. If they are on good terms with the Shrine of Melody, then we cannot touch them. Otherwise, we will die even if we get on the battleship."
"Alright!"
Qin Zhan left as well. Lu Li took out the map and started to study it. He carefully observed the situation around the Palace of Black Moon and started to plan his escape route.
Half a day later, Gan Lin returned and reported on the situation of the super battleships. These battleships would go out once a month, and each time, there would be three of them. Regardless of whether or not there were enough customers, it was basically fixed, and they would go out once a month.
Three ships had set off six days ago, and the next batch would have to wait for another twenty-four days.
Twenty-four days?
Lu Li nodded. He had enough time. It would only take him three days to teleport over and six days to go back and forth. If he couldn't kill them in one night, then the mission would be considered a failure.
Therefore, Lu Li was not in a hurry, nor could he be. He had to make good use of the time. When the mission was completed and he came back, the battleships would be ready to depart as soon as the mission was completed.
Another half a day later, Qin Zhan came back as well. He had spent more than 100,000 Divine Stones to find out some accurate information.
The Yue Family and the Melody Region were not on good terms. There was even some resentment between them.
It was said that decades ago, there was a dispute between the young generation and someone died. Later, the emperor sent someone to mediate because the Yue Family was one of the staunch supporters of the emperor.
Even though the two sides were on the same side, they were not on friendly terms. Lu Li was relieved.
At the very least, when the battleships left, even if the Yue Family could find out who he was, the Melody Region wouldn't let the battleships go back.
"Let's do it!"
Lu Li didn't hesitate. He decided to do it right away. He said to Qin Zhan and Gan Lin, "You guys stay here. If I don't come back in a month, then it means I am dead. You guys can go on your own."
"…"
Qin Zhan and Gan Lin looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Qin Zhan said, "We can't help much, but we can at least support you from the outside."
"That's pointless!"
Lu Li shook his head and said, "I don't need support. We are brothers and I will not beat around the bush. You will not be of any help to me if you go now. You will distract me. So, just stay here and don't worry.
I will try not to be impulsive. If something goes wrong, I would rather not finish the mission and stay alive. Worst comes to worst, we will work here for a few years. "
Lu Li patted their shoulders and said, "Why are you pulling such long faces?
It's not that you are weak. Many people have been cultivating for tens of thousands of years and they still can't reach your realm.
It's just that my opponents are of a higher level. What is there to be upset about?
Compared to many people, you are strong enough.
Furthermore, I … My own battle power is actually not that strong. I've only taken in a few beasts and rely on their battle power. "
"Alright!"
The two forced a smile but said nothing more. It was pointless for them to go. It was better to stay here. They wouldn't distract Lu Li and he would have a better chance of survival.
Lu Li didn't leave in a hurry after he convinced the two. He stayed here. He planned to gather some information for the next few days. The more information he had, the safer he would be.
Lu Li took action after he wandered around in the city for 10 days!
He teleported all the way to the Heaven Fortune City near the Black Moon Palace. He went to the Bookstore and got the latest information about the Black Moon Palace.
Recently, the Black Moon Palace did something evil again. They kidnapped a young master of a small family and the young master died on the fifth day. He was nailed to the cliff behind the Black Moon Palace.
This young master was famous nearby. He was an elegant young master with a good character. He was humble and kind. He was respected and liked by many.
Maybe it was because this young master was so famous that he suddenly disappeared one day. His family immediately sent people to search for him but to no avail. Five days later, he was found nailed to the cliff behind the Black Moon Palace.
Also, this young master was naked. There were whip marks and tie marks on his body. Clearly, he had been tortured. It was too horrible to look at.
This incident caused public anger. Many of the nearby small clans were furious, but no one dared to act recklessly.
The Black Moon Palace was the overlord nearby. Nobody could afford to offend them.
That family didn't even dare to collect the body of their young master. At the moment, the body was still nailed to the cliff …
The old witch was in the Black Moon Palace recently. Lu Li didn't stay idle. He didn't act rashly either. Instead, he wandered around nearby and investigated secretly.
He passed by the cliff behind and saw a man hanging on the cliff. Many parts of the man's body were badly scratched by the goshawk …
"She really is the old witch. Vicious!"
