The ghosts, of course, were not wild ones. They were ghosts raised by Lu Li. They were just three warriors at the middle stage of the Fourth Tribulation. Lu Li could kill them himself or ask the daughter of Saint King to do it.
But it would be easier for him to kill the ghosts. Not many people knew about the background of the ghost. What was more, the ghost was powerful. It had devoured so many ghosts in the blood lake. It was more than enough to deal with several warriors at the middle stage of the Fourth Tribulation.
The Specter chased after them for a while and killed more than 20 warriors. The rest ran away. Lu Li controlled the Specter to come back.
Seeing the ghostly shadow fly back to his castle, Liu Chunlei seemed to be deep in thought. The rest of the villagers were still frightened to the point that their faces were a little pale. Firstly, it was because the malicious ghost was scary, and secondly, it had killed the Young Palace Lord of Zhengyang Palace. This was too much. Presumably, the experts and army of Zhengyang Palace would arrive soon, right?
"Clean up the battlefield!"
Liu Chunlei waved his hand. Then he flew back to his castle and went into a secret room.
Liu Xu'er was waiting with worry. She went over to Liu Chunlei anxiously and asked, "Grandpa, how is it?"
"It is okay. It is done!"
Liu Chunlei forced a smile. He looked at Lu Li and patted Liu Xu'er's head. "Xu'er, go out. I need to talk to you."
Liu Xu'er nodded and left. Liu Chunlei cupped his fists and said, "Brother Lu, just now …"
"Yes!"
Lu Li nodded and said, "I controlled that ghost. Don't worry. It is not evil and will not harm people. It is just a piece of treasure."
"Brother Lu, I didn't know that you are a master!"
Liu Chunlei bowed and said, "Brother Lu, thank you for saving our lives. I thank you on behalf of all the people in the tribe."
"Lord Liu, you are flattering me!"
Lu Li waved his hand with a smile and said, "If it were not for you and Xu'er, I would be dead by now. You have done me a great favor. I am just doing you a small favor."
"I have a presumptuous request!"
Liu Chunlei bowed and said solemnly, "If you can help me, I can die with no regrets."
Lu Li helped Liu Chunlei up and said with a smile, "Lord Liu, you don't have to be so polite. Just say it."
Liu Chunlei said, "Brother Lu, please take Xu 'er away, the further the better. In the future, please take good care of Xu' er.
Xu 'er's parents passed away when she was young. This old man only has one granddaughter. She is very pure and kind. This old man, this old man … "
Liu Chunlei choked with sobs as he spoke. Lu Li didn't say yes to Liu Chunlei. Instead, he asked, "Does that Young Master Wang have a powerful background?"
Liu Xu 'er was Liu Chunlei's only granddaughter. She was the apple of his eye, but now she was going to be taken away by a stranger.
If it wasn't for the fact that the situation was critical, Liu Chunlei definitely wouldn't have done this.
Liu Chunlei nodded heavily and said, "He is the young palace master of Zhengyang Palace. Zhengyang Palace is one of the three major forces in the vicinity. There are many experts in the palace, and there are at least fifteen Tribulation Martial Artists. You killed three of them, but there are still twelve left.
Most importantly, their Palace Lord was very strong. He was at the late stage of the Fourth Tribulation. It was said that he even had a Holy Artifact fragment.
There are so many old, weak, women and children in our tribe. Even if we want to run, we can't. We can only ask Little Brother Lu to take Xu 'er away. "
"Late-stage fourth tribulation?"
Lu Li nodded. He had a plan. He asked, "Does the Zhengyang Palace have any backers?
For example, a superpower? "
"Yes …"
Liu Chunlei thought about it and said, "It is said that the Zhengyang Palace is related to an ancient family, the Ning Family. I don't know the details, but I do know that those forces must have backers."
"I see!"
Lu Li thought about it and said, "The Zhengyang Palace is nothing. I can destroy it on my own. But if there is a superpower behind them, I am afraid that there will be trouble when they find out.
How about this? I will go around and do some investigation. If there is no powerful background, I will take care of this for you. I promise you that you will not have any worries. "
"Eh …"
Liu Chunlei was surprised. Lu Li said the Zhengyang Palace was nothing?
He could destroy it on his own?
In Liu Chunlei's ears, these words sounded like a fantasy story.
But Liu Chunlei saw a glimmer of hope when he remembered that Lu Li could send out a ghost to kill three warriors at the middle stage of the fourth tribulation.
"How about this!"
Lu Li thought about it and said, "I have an interspatial artifact that can put you all in. If things go wrong, I will take you away and find a safe place for you to live in seclusion. After all, there is nothing to remember here and there is nothing valuable."
Spiritual Qi was scarce here. There were some mountains nearby but there shouldn't be any precious herbs. Wouldn't it make no difference where the tribe could stay?
Liu Chunlei was hesitating. Lu Li took out the Relic iron. He used divine energy and said with a smile, "Holy Weapon fragment?
I have one as well! "
"Um!"
Liu Chunlei was frightened by the divine might of the Saint Artifact Fragment. He hurriedly bowed and said, "This old man had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I didn't expect Young Master to be a noble person. Young Master's great kindness to us, we are unable to repay you."
With that said, Liu Chunlei was about to kneel. Lu Li helped him up and waved his hand. "Go and talk to the people of the tribe and get things sorted out. I can promise you that I can at least take you away safely.
How about this, I will treat my wounds for five days and then we will depart. "
"Okay!"
Liu Chunlei hurried out to talk to the people of the tribe.
The people of the tribe gathered at the plaza, terrified. Many of them were talking at once. Most of them wanted to run away.
Liu Chunlei walked out, gathered everyone, and explained the situation to them.
They heard that the ghost was released by a powerful warrior.
Now, this powerful warrior was going to help them destroy the Zhengyang Palace and take Lu Li away?
The first thought that came to people's mind was that they could not believe that there was such a good thing in the world.
Helping out in the face of injustice?
Something like that only existed in fairy tales.
Liu Chunlei didn't say that he was the one who saved Lu Li. He only said that Lu Li and Liu Chunlei were connected. Liu Chunlei had absolute authority in the tribe. Many people in the tribe were worried and doubtful but they didn't say anything.
Everyone went back to pack up. They didn't have many valuables so they finished in a day.
Liu Xu 'er was confused. Liu Chunlei said there was a mysterious warrior. Was that mysterious warrior the young man they saved?
Five days later, the answer was revealed!
Lu Li walked out of the underground secret room. Everyone in the tribe was ready. They stood at the plaza. When they saw a young man at the peak of the Second Tribulation, they were all surprised.
"Brother Lu!"
Liu Xu 'er walked to Lu Li and asked in a low voice, "It was you who killed the bad guy that day?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li said with a smile. Then he took out a bead and a gust of chilly wind blew out. The ghost appeared in midair. The chilly qi and energy made everyone feel like they were in an ice cellar.
