Lu Li left early the next morning without saying goodbye to Mu Wanqing. He just left a note. Nothing happened last night either. Lu Li made up his mind to leave Mu Wanqing alone.
It was simple and both parties were happy. Mu Wanqing would be happy as well. She wanted to leave some stories for the rest of her life to remember.
Lu Li didn't want her to remember him. He could not stay at the Chilly Winter Land for long. He didn't even know if he could go back to the Chilly Winter Land. He didn't want Mu Wanqing to be alone for the rest of her life.
In order not to make Mu Wanqing more miserable, Lu Li left quietly.
When he was leaving, Mu Wanqing stood on a tall building and watched as Lu Li went into the Teleportation Formation with Qin Zhan and Gan Lin.
Lu Li didn't tell Mu Wanqing where he was going. He only said that they would meet again if fate willed it.
Mu Wanqing knew that this was not the case. The world was a big place. If Lu Li could come to the Chilly Winter Land from the Zi Yang Land, he could go to other lands as well. Maybe they would never see each other again.
"He is a dragon hiding in the deep sea. This time, he may go to the highest heaven. I will have to look up to him for the rest of my life."
Mu Wanqing sighed. She stood on the pavilion for a long time, not moving at all. It was as if she had become a statue.
"Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing ~"
Lu Li teleported with the other two. Their souls had been cultivated well over the years. They didn't feel tired even if they kept teleporting.
They didn't want to stop along the way. They kept on going.
They didn't have any enemies at the Chilly Winter Land so they didn't have to worry about anything. They had 10 billion divine stones so they didn't lack anything.
Lu Li would stop for a day to rest every 10 days. He didn't need to tire himself out since he didn't have much time.
Teleportation would take time as well. They were going from the western part of the Chilly Winter Land to the central part.
The Chilly Winter Land was larger than the Zi Yang Land. It would take at least half a year to teleport continuously.
It would take more than a year to go across a continent. This was unimaginable for the Second Heaven.
Lu Li believed it would take him at least 100 years to fly across the continent.
Of course, taking the God Boat didn't count. The God Boat was not much slower than teleportation.
They stopped from time to time. Lu Li and the others didn't cause any trouble. The city was safe and the journey was peaceful.
Just like that, time flew, and five months passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Li had spent more than half of the 10 billion and he only had a bit more than one billion left. He was not far away from the Broken Sword Mountain.
It would only take about half a month's journey.
In a big city, Lu Li received some very bad news!
If they teleported forward for another ten days or so, they probably wouldn't be able to teleport anymore because there was a war going on.
It was not a battle between two families, but more than a dozen domains, including the Broken Sword Territory.
"In the battle royale?"
Lu Li complained to himself. They had come such a long way but the Yin Family was in the middle of a fight. How could Lu Li ask for help from the Yin Family?
The others were fighting non-stop and could barely take care of themselves. How could they ask for help?
Teleporting to the Flying Fire Continent was no small matter.
Lu Li sent someone to gather information. After spending one million divine stones, he obtained all the information.
This war had not just started, but had already been going on for a few years.
The Yin Family was the main force on one side, while the other side was also a feudal lord family, the Cang Family. Both sides were very powerful, and each of them had allied with a few big domains to fight.
The war was not fought for no reason. It was because of a treasured land.
Both sides wanted to fight for this treasured land. Otherwise, no matter how powerful and prestigious the Yin Family and the Cang Family were, they couldn't have dragged many families from several domains to fight for such a long time.
The war was brutal. Both sides suffered casualties. Many average warriors had perished. The two sides had no intention of stopping after such a long time. Instead, the hatred was growing.
Nobody dared to go there now because they could lose their lives if they were not careful enough.
Lu Li was troubled. It seemed that the war would not stop anytime soon. He could not wait forever. He had to find a way to go around and enter the domain where the war was taking place.
Since he had come all the way here, it was impossible for him not to pay a visit to the Yin Family. No matter what, he had to pay a visit to Yin Qingsi.
There was another thing that puzzled Lu Li!
Yin Ruolan was famous. She was the most important young lady of the Yin Family and she had reached the middle stage of the Fourth Tribulation. On the other hand, Yin Qingsi was not famous at all.
Lu Li asked around several times. Nobody had heard of Yin Qingsi.
According to Yin Ruolan, Yin Qingsi was her cousin.
Yin Qingsi was a young lady of the immediate Yin Family and she was blind. Theoretically speaking, Yin Qingsi should be famous.
"Never mind!"
Lu Li took out a map and studied it carefully. He picked a route.
He planned to take a detour and enter the Ancient Jade Territory to the north of the Broken Sword Territory. Then, he would arrive at the Broken Sword Territory by going through the Ancient Jade Territory.
Lu Li discussed with Qin Zhan and Gan Lin for a while. Naturally, they would listen to him.
Lu Li teleported with them again. Half a month later, they arrived at a small city at the border of the Ancient Jade Territory.
The Ancient Jade Territory was in a state of war. To prevent spies from sneaking in, the Teleportation Formation outside was closed. To enter the Ancient Jade Territory, one must fly in.
"Let's fly!"
Lu Li let the two into the Separation Bead and then flew toward the south in a gust of wind. He used the trace of Dao to avoid scouts along the way.
The Ancient Jade Territory and the Broken Sword Territory were allies. But Lu Li wanted to be careful and avoid any trouble.
A territory was large. It would be easy to cross it with Fleeting Boats.
Flying would be more troublesome. Lu Li couldn't fly too conspicuously or too fast. Otherwise, he would be spotted.
If everything went well, he could cross the Ancient Jade Territory in one and a half months. Nothing went wrong in the first half of the month. There were scouts everywhere, but they couldn't find Lu Li.
It was the 24th day!
Lu Li was spotted. He didn't know why — when he was passing by a dangerous place, there happened to be a team exploring there. They were being chased by ferocious beasts and happened to run into Lu Li.
Lu Li flew down at once when he noticed he was being targeted by psychic power. He stood on the side with respect.
However, one of the people in the group flew over and looked at him suspiciously, asking, "Identity medallion!"
Lu Li blinked and took out an ID Token of the Hell Palace. The man's eyes turned cold. He said, "What token is this?
The one from the Yang Pass Territory? "
Lu Li's heart sank but he didn't show it on his face. He casually said, "The Yang Pass Territory."
"Nonsense!"
The old man at the peak of the third tribulation took out his weapon and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you sneak into the Ancient Jade Territory? Surrender now or we will kill you."
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
