Lu Li opened the Inhibition Formation and saw a lady in a green robe.
It had been years since he last saw her. Yin Ruolan looked the same. The only difference was that she had matured. Standing there, she was slim and graceful, like a fragrant orchid.
She had a gentle smile on her face. Her smile was bright and comforting.
She was not as pure and clean as Mu Yingying. Instead, she had the playfulness of a girl-next-door. She was noble and elegant, very attractive.
"Ha, ha!"
She laughed before she said anything. She took a closer look at Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, I am surprised that you can come to the Broken Sword Mountain so soon.
But … how come your realm is still so low?
You haven't even reached three tribulations? "
"I am ashamed!"
Lu Li was embarrassed. He touched his nose and said, "I have been focusing on physical cultivation and never focused on studying Fundamental Principles. That is why I haven't been improving my realm and going through tribulations."
"How did you get here from the Zi Yang Land?
I don't think your two friends are strong. "Yin Ruolan was confused. She knew very well how far away the Zi Yang Land was from here.
If it were not for the fact that she was protected by powerful warriors of her family, it would be difficult for her to cross the distance on her own.
"I guess I am lucky!"
Lu Li casually explained with a smile, "I tamed some strange beasts, killed some warriors of the fourth tribulation, did some tasks and helped a family. I got over 10 billion divine stones and teleported all the way here."
"Eh..."
Yin Ruolan was surprised. Yin Chengrui was surprised as well.
Yin Chengrui didn't ask about Lu Li. He was being polite to Lu Li only because he was valued by the Crippled Zen Master.
He didn't know that Lu Li had killed warriors of the fourth tribulation.
Was this not a joke?
Lu Li could tell that neither of them believed him. With a glare from the Separation Bead, Lu Li let out the Phantom King and several Wind Warbeasts. The ferocious qi and energy of the Phantom King spread out and alarmed the guards outside.
"That beast is strong!"
Yin Chengrui sighed with emotion and transmitted his voice to the soldiers to calm down.
Yin Ruolan nodded. Then, she asked, "Beasts of this level must be highly intelligent, right?
How did you tame them? "
"Heavily injure them, then communicate with them through a special method, and have them serve me for ten thousand years."
Lu Li's explanation stunned the two again. How could Lu Li injure the Phantom King and the Wind Warcraft so badly?
Then wouldn't his battle prowess be comparable to a Fourth Tribulation Martial Artist?
Yin Ruolan nodded and said, "Good. You are progressing fast. Saving you back then was not a waste of my effort.
However … don't be too ostentatious in the Third Heaven. If the Phoenix Empress finds out about you, she will definitely send people to kill you. "
"Where is the Phoenix Empress from?"
Lu Li asked. This was a big deal. There was also the Zhangsun Family. If they got his information, they would hunt him down.
Yin Ruolan explained, "The Phoenix Empress is in the Divine Wind Continent in the north. She's ranked fourth among the Great Emperors in the Divine Wind Continent. Although her battle prowess isn't particularly strong, she's still an Emperor-level."
"Divine Wind Continent!"
Lu Li made a mental note of it because he was going to the Wind Continent.
Seeing the two of them reminiscing, Yin Chengrui smiled, cupped his hands, and left, leaving the space for the two of them.
Lu Li asked about the Zhangsun Family but Yin Ruolan didn't know.
Yin Ruolan finally remembered when Lu Li mentioned the Moon Lake.
The Moon Lake was at the Heavenly Water Continent in the east, far away.
Lu Li was relieved. He wouldn't run around anyway. There were no Divine Stones to teleport to the Heavenly Water Continent.
"Where is Qingsi cultivating?
Can her eyes be cured? "
Lu Li didn't have the courage to ask when he was with the Crippled Zen Master. But now that he was with Yin Ruolan, he didn't have to worry so he asked casually.
"She is in a dangerous place, a secret region of sorts!"
Yin Ruolan thought about it and said, "If you want to see her, I can take you there. But you can only see her from the distance. You cannot get close.
She is in closed-door cultivation. Forefather Six said in person that nobody is to disturb her.
As for her eyes, the Yin Family has been trying to find a way.
Unfortunately, we are missing some elixirs. One of them, the Nine Melody Lotus, is hard to find. We have offered a high price but nobody is willing to sell it. "
"Nine Melody Lotus!"
Lu Li committed it to memory. He thought about it and said, "Take me to her. I will go to the Flying Fire Continent soon. I don't think I can come back so soon."
"Flying Fire Continent?"
Yin Ruolan frowned and said, "You have to cross the Silver Flame Sea to go to the Flying Fire Continent. Even powerful warriors of the Lord Realm can die there, not to mention you. Why do you want to go there?"
"I need to do something for the Devil. I need to go to the Dragon Rebel Valley!" Lu Li didn't want to talk about Lu Ling so he explained casually.
"Devil!"
Yin Ruo Lan revealed a look of reminiscence in her eyes. She clicked her tongue in wonder and said, "That Great Demon King of yours is very powerful. I feel that she might be a Lord Level Powerhouse. But, I can't figure out why she's holed up in the small Second Heaven."
"Powerful warrior of the Lord Realm?"
Lu Li was taken aback. He had thought that the Devil would be at the peak of the fourth tribulation at best.
But Yin Ruolan said she was a powerful warrior of the Lord Realm?
"Right!"
There was something that Lu Li couldn't figure out. It was a good time for him to ask, "When the Devil crushed Phoenix Queen's avatar, why didn't she send someone down to seek revenge?
Even if the Devil is a powerful warrior of the Lord Realm, Phoenix Queen can send some of them down. "
"I don't understand, either!"
Yin Ruolan shook her head in bewilderment and guessed, "I reckon … she probably has an Emperor-level expert backing her up. Furthermore, it is a formidable Emperor-level expert.
Otherwise, given Phoenix Queen's temper, she would have sought revenge. Or maybe she is the wife of an emperor? "
Lu Li thought it was possible. The Devil said that the Second Heaven had its own rules. Even if Phoenix Queen came down to the mortal world, she could still suppress her. Lu Li didn't believe this.
Yin Ruolan's speculation was more likely. Phoenix Queen was not powerful among the Emperor Realm warriors. If the Devil was the wife of a powerful emperor, then it would be understandable.
But if the Devil was a Queen, why did she stay in the Second Heaven?
What was so good about that place?
The best resources in the Second Heaven were inferior goods in the Third Heaven.
"Never mind. I don't want to think about it!"
Lu Li shook his head. It was pointless to think about this and he was not in the mood for gossip.
He nodded and said, "Lady Ruolan, take me to see Qing Si. I just want to look at her from a distance. That will fulfill one of my wishes."
"Wishes?"
Yin Ruolan smiled slyly. She asked in a low voice, "You and her … did something happen before?
She often talks about you to me. "
"No!"
Lu Li forced a smile and said, "I don't deserve her.
I saved her life, and she saved mine. We are friends. "
"If she hears this, she will be sad …"
