Lu Li went back to the Palace of Black Moon. Blood Fairy was still controlling the castle.
The Worms of the Void were wreaking havoc as well. Many had died. The survivors had fled into the castle. Some were trying their best to suppress the Worms of the Void.
"Master, this castle is a piece of treasure!" Blood Fairy's message cheered Lu Li up. "Where is the treasure?"
"The material and the patterns!"
Blood Fairy explained, "The material of this castle is special. I think it is similar to that piece of Relic iron. If you don't believe me, you can try to attack it!"
"Whoosh ~"
Lu Li took out his flying sword and stabbed at the castle. The patterns on the castle were not activated yet. Even so, when the flying sword stabbed at the castle, there was a clanging sound and some sparks came out.
"This is a treasure!"
Lu Li was overjoyed. However, because of the sudden attack, many warriors flew out from the castle. They were shocked to see Lu Li coming back.
"Run —"
These soldiers were not stupid. Some of them immediately fled in all directions, while others fled into the castle.
"Roar, roar ~"
Lu Li let out Phantom and Specter and some Wind Warcraft to chase after them. Given the speed of Wind Warcraft, Phantom and Specter, those warriors would not be able to escape.
"Bang, bang, bang ~"
Soon, bodies fell to the ground. The one hundred warriors that tried to escape were all killed in less than a thousand miles.
"Blood Fairy, have you gained control of the patterns here?"
Lu Li did not mind the warriors in the castle. As long as the patterns were under his control, the warriors were like caged beasts. He could kill them however he wanted.
"I did not!"
Blood Fairy explained, "But just now, I could control them easily. The core of the patterns is a piece of treasure.
Just now, that treasure suddenly became ownerless. Master, did you kill the master of the castle? "
"Yes!"
Lu Li nodded. Blood Fairy said, "Then it is okay. Master, I have full control of the castle. The patterns here are powerful and there are dozens of different patterns.
This castle must have had dozens of owners, and the previous owners have also repeatedly refined this castle, setting up layers and layers of divine runes. Now, this castle's defense is super strong. Even a late-stage fourth tribulation expert would find it difficult to break through! "
"What?"
Lu Li was taken aback. This was just a small castle. Not even warriors at the later stage of the fourth tribulation could break it?
Blood Fairy wasn't joking.
"Master, I'm not joking!"
Blood Fairy said seriously, "If you don't believe me, I can activate the Glyph. Why don't you have the Wind Demon Beast and Phantom King attack me?"
"Alright!"
Lu Li was excited. He called back the Wind Warcraft and the Phantom King at once. The entire castle was glowing with cyan patterns moving around.
It was as if the entire castle had come to life, and there were many little azure dragons swimming around inside.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
The Phantom King and dozens of Wind Demonic Beasts attacked at the same time, and muffled booms sounded out. The castle trembled slightly, but it was completely unscathed. In fact, not even a single mark was left on it.
"What a treasure!"
Lu Li was overjoyed. This was a treasure with strong defense. If he ran into a powerful warrior, he could at least stay alive for a while by hiding in here.
Lu Li quickly asked another important question, "How's the speed?
Can this castle fly? "
"It can fly!"
Blood Fairy replied confidently, "We'll have to see how fast it is.
Master, you can enter the castle first. Don't worry about the people inside, I've trapped them all. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li put away the Phantom King, the Wind Warcraft, and the Phantom King and flew into the castle. After a glare, Lu Li was teleported to a luxurious hall.
"Buzzing ~"
Following that, the entire castle trembled and soared into the sky, whistling into the distance.
The castle was large, at least with a radius of thirty miles. It was like a mountain.
"Eh …"
There were scouts from different forces nearby. They followed Lu Li here. At first, they thought it was a mountain that flew up when they saw the Castle of Black Moon fly up.
"That is the Castle of Black Moon. It can fly?
And the speed … "
"The legend is true. The Castle of Black Moon is a piece of treasure. Putting everything else aside … it must be as fast as a warrior at the later stage of the fourth tribulation."
"It is a pity that Huang Tianba has taken it."
"He deserves it. If you can kill the old witch, the treasure will be yours. The question is … do you have the ability?"
The group of people sighed with emotion, but the castle quickly disappeared into the eastern sky.
"That is quite fast!"
Lu Li used psychic power to check. He was satisfied. After some thoughts, he asked, "Blood Fairy, since there are such powerful runes here, can the castle shrink?"
"Of course!"
Blood Fairy answered with certainty, "As a matter of fact, inside the castle is a small space refined by a powerful warrior. It has a radius of at least three hundred miles and more than one hundred thousand rooms.
Not only can people live in the rooms, but they can also trap people.
There is a powerful maze in here. If you cannot solve the runes by force and you want to go around in circles, you will be trapped here for the rest of your life. "
"Hiss, hiss ~"
Lu Li had been to many dangerous places and experienced many mazes. His eyes were filled with excitement. The treasure was too valuable — just think about it. If he encountered a group of warriors at the middle stage of the fourth tribulation, he would not have to fight them. He could lure them in and trap them all. Eventually, he could kill them one by one.
"Buzzing ~"
Outside, the Castle of Black Moon shrank into the size of a rock. After the time for several incense sticks to burn, the Castle of Black Moon fell into a valley.
Lu Li checked to make sure that nobody was around. He asked, "What about the warriors? Can you kill them all?"
Lu Li did not even bother to kill those low-level warriors. Since there were powerful runes here, he could just kill them.
"Yes!"
Blood Fairy gave a simple answer. Lu Li did not worry anymore. He sat in the hall with his legs crossed and took out some healing pellets to treat his wounds.
The old witch was dead and so were the fourth tribulation warriors. Not many of the other warriors escaped. Lu Li had accomplished his mission successfully.
The reward of eight hundred million was in his hands. He could set off at once.
What Lu Li needed to do now was to heal his wounds, disguise himself, sneak into the city, and teleport to the City of Hymn.
The injuries on his body were too obvious. It would be easy for others to suspect him, so he needed to heal his injuries first.
His physical body was strong enough. With the top healing pellets, he could recover quickly.
In four hours, Lu Li's external wounds were almost healed. Of course, his bones and internal organs would not recover so quickly.
Lu Li got up and was ready to leave.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li left the Castle of Black Moon. Many bodies were teleported out from the Castle of Black Moon. They were all killed by the runes. The valley was filled with corpses. Naturally, Lu Li collected their Interspatial Rings.
"You can go now. Don't do evil again."
Lu Li let out the six he captured. The mastermind had been killed. It did not matter whether the six could be killed or not.
The six were scared out of their wits when they saw the corpses on the ground. All of them belonged to the Castle of Black Moon. They fled in terror.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li put away the Castle of Black Moon and flew away like a ghost. He was still flying toward the east. He must put on a good show. Even though the Yue Family would find out, by then, he should have reached the depth of the Sea of Mystic Sounds.
