The battle was over. The Yin Family lost three top young masters with high abilities and statuses. Two of them were from other families and one was from the Yin Family.
The Cang Family lost 17 warriors. It seemed that the Cang Family had gained the upper hand.
However, the 17 warriors that died were weak and their statuses were far lower than the Cang Family. Therefore, the Cang Family suffered a great loss.
It was supposed to be a good plan. However, because of Cang Yan's formation, Yin Tianfan and Yin Ruolan almost lost their lives.
If it were not for the fact that Lu Li arrived in time, everyone inside would have been killed.
Lu Li had no other choice. He was too far away and the Phantom King did not stop to rest. He arrived at the critical moment. If he were any later, he would have to collect Yin Ruolan's dead bodies.
Hu Qing sent someone to check nearby. He was sure that the Cang Family was gone and that Cang Long had run away.
They were drowning in sorrow. Yin Ruolan, in particular, could not hold back her tears when she thought of the young master that died for her.
Lu Li's mind was weighed down as well. It was his idea to collect the elixirs here. However, three top young masters died because of him. Naturally, he felt guilty.
"Patriarch Lu, go and collect the elixirs!"
Yin Tianfan's injuries were serious. His face was pale. Noticing Lu Li's expression, Yin Tianfan said, "Lu Li, don't overthink. It was my idea to stay and collect the elixirs.
If we can get some valuable treasures later, we will make it up to them. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded and went to the Frigid Pond. There were no more fish monsters in the pond but some small white beasts had returned.
Lu Li collected the elixirs quickly. It took him more than two hours to collect all the elixirs.
"Let's go!"
All the corpses had been collected, and the divine materials on the corpses of the fish monsters had been collected.
Lu Li and the others left quickly. Many were injured and needed rest. After all, this was a battlefield and it was not safe.
They traveled for millions of miles. Lu Li dealt with all the small white beasts along the way. Several hours later, they stopped in a valley.
Lu Li took the initiative to be on guard so that Yin Tianfan and the others could rest.
Yin Ruolan had been in low spirits. Lu Li could not comfort her. He had to ask Yin Tianfan and the others to comfort her.
They had recuperated in the valley for half a month, and everyone had recovered from their injuries. Only Yin Ruo Lan's mood hadn't recovered yet.
Lu Li gave all the elixirs to Yin Tianfan for him to distribute.
Yin Tianfan picked out the body strengthening pellets and gave them to Lu Li. Then, he gave the rest to the families of the deceased warriors.
Naturally, no one had any objections. This compensation was actually not enough.
Yin Tianfan had also said that if he could get his hands on these treasures, he would definitely give them more compensation.
The body refinement elixir was useless to the others so Lu Li didn't refuse.
He did not say anything, but secretly made up his mind that if he had the chance, he would definitely kill Cang Long and the others to avenge them.
Everyone continued forward, but this time, they were much quieter, and the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere from before was nowhere to be seen.
Even when they found many divine medicines along the way, no one smiled at all.
After walking for half a month, they didn't meet Cang Long and the others again. They didn't find any other strange beasts either. The only thing they could see were countless small white beasts.
"Where's the exit?"
This was the question that had been bothering them. They realized that they had been on the same path many times.
Clearly, they had been on the same path, which meant that there was a powerful formation of illusion leading them to go around in circles.
It was just that this place was so vast that they didn't notice it at first.
They did get a lot of elixirs. Altogether, they had more than three thousand.
That being said, no matter how many elixirs they had, it was pointless. Families were not in need of divine stones. Elixirs could be bought with divine stones.
What they wanted was the super treasures and skills that the ancient Saint Emperor gave to the master of the Hall of Seven Tones.
Moving on, they found fewer and fewer elixirs. Many paths had been on the same path. It was understandable that there were fewer elixirs.
Another half a month later, they still didn't run into Cang Long and the others.
They might be hiding in some secluded place or … they had found the exit and gone to the next level.
Yin Tianfan didn't know much about Divine Glyphs. He had to pin his hopes on Lu Li and Lu Hai.
Lu Li didn't know much about Divine Glyphs either. He had to pin his hope on Blood Fairy.
"If there is a huge formation of illusion …"
Lu Hai said, "If we want to find the exit, we must find the core. This is such a large formation. There must be more than one core.
This is tricky. We might be trapped in here for years or even decades. "
Lu Hai's words weighed on everyone's mind. Lu Li told Blood Fairy what Lu Hai said and she agreed, "Yes, there are more than one or two cores here. I think that pond is one of them.
The place where you collected hundreds of elixirs might be one as well.
I need to repeatedly investigate and calculate. Only after I find three to five formation cores can I hope to find a way out. "
"Move on. Look around and observe!"
Lu Li had no other choice but to let them move on. At the same time, he began to observe the surrounding terrain, looking for differences and other core.
Another half a month later, Lu Li found a strange terrain. It was a valley.
There were many white animals in the valley. There were many traces of excavation.
Clearly, there were many elixirs here. Cang Long must have dug them out. This might be a core.
Lu Li also found bodies of another kind of beasts. There were more than a dozen of them, but they were all killed.
"This should be the core!"
Blood Fairy said, "Now, we have found three core. If we can find one or two more, we can figure out the way to the door of birth."
Six days later, Lu Li found another strange terrain. There were no elixirs here, not even a white animal. This was a barren mountain. The Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was thin.
"This is another core!"
Blood Fairy went out to explore, then said confidently, "This could be the core of the Matrix Eye. There is no Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth here because the Matrix Eye leads to the outside.
Master, wait here. I will go and take a closer look. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded. He told the others to rest and cultivate nearby while he and Lu Hai wandered around.
The more Lu Hai looked, the more he felt it was strange. He nodded and said, "There is something wrong here. If we can see through this place, we might be able to find the way out."
With that said, Lu Hai cupped his fists to Lu Li and wandered around on his own.
Lu Li wandered around for a while. All of a sudden, he sensed something. He flew up to the sky and looked down at the mountain from above.
"What?"
Lu Li was surprised as he looked on. There were dozens of hills, ditches, valleys, ridges and so on.
When he looked at it from above, he vaguely saw a very mysterious picture.
He had seen this kind of picture before. It was the one formed by traces of the great path. At the moment, the mountains and rivers gave him the same feeling.
Pattern of Principles!
