Lu Li knew that a fight was inevitable, be it someone was after the Palace of Flying Smoke or some forces were after the Palace of Flying Smoke.
From the distance came swarms of people. There must be at least tens of thousands of warriors and quite a number of fifth tribulation warriors.
Lu Li knew that he would lose this fight, at least not for a while. He had to wait for the sixth tribulation warrior to come back to stabilize the situation.
The thing was!
Since the enemies could lure him away, they must have planned this out. That lord of the sixth tribulation probably wouldn't come back so soon.
Therefore, Lu Li had only two options left. He could either fight to the death with the Palace of Flying Smoke or sneak away.
Lu Li chose the second option!
There were too many powerful warriors here. Even though he had achieved initial success in his Immortal Body and increased his defensive abilities, his offensive abilities were not as good.
If he wanted to fight against a Fifth Tribulation Expert, his combat strength was not enough. Once he was targeted by a Fifth Tribulation Expert, the consequences would be very bad.
In addition to Lu Li, the more than 10,000 warriors on the battleship all made up their minds at once. Most of them split into groups and fled in three directions.
The warriors of the Palace of Flying Smoke could hold on for a while. They still had a chance to run away.
"Boom!"
Lu Li was hit by a ray of light. But for his defensive abilities, it was not a big deal. He flew away with the others, keeping a low profile.
He blended into the crowd and kept the same speed as the others. He didn't draw too much attention.
The group he chose was good. It was not a caravan, but dozens of average warriors. All of them were fourth tribulation warriors and they were not eye-catching.
Since the warriors of the Palace of Flying Smoke were fighting off the majority, Lu Li and the others had an easy time running away.
Lu Li made the right choice. He didn't go with the caravans so he wasn't targeted by powerful warriors.
There were only about 30 warriors on his side. They were not strong and they were not eye-catching at all.
They kept a low profile. After the time for one incense stick to burn, the noise died down.
The more than 30 warriors were at a loss. They didn't know whether they should run or find a place to hide.
Lu Li was struggling as well. This place was not far from the Dragon Rebel Valley.
But if they had to fly, it would take them more than half a year. Flying in the void or taking the Godspeed Boat would be faster.
Lu Li didn't dare to take the Godspeed Boat. It was fast but too eye-catching. If he did, he would be killed at any time.
Flying through the void was also dangerous. What if he appeared in the middle of a battlefield?
His sudden appearance would immediately make him a target for the formidable martial artists on the battlefield, and he might be killed instantly.
Wait here for the Flying Smoke Palace, wait for them to settle things, and then continue asking them to arrange a trip to the Dragon Rebel Valley?
Lu Li seemed to be in danger as well. This time, a force was targeting the Palace of Smoke. Their battleships were destroyed and many people must have been killed as well. The impact was already bad.
He reckoned that the Lord and the others would only think about finding the enemy and finding out the truth, and wouldn't care about them.
Furthermore …
Lu Li wondered if this lord and his men could even survive the Fifth Tribulation Warrior.
If he killed all of them, he wouldn't be able to erase many clues, and the Flying Smoke Palace wouldn't be able to find anything.
"Go!"
The more Lu Li thought about it, the more frightened he felt. He had better get away from this troublesome place first. If the force behind the scenes wanted to silence them, they wouldn't be able to escape.
Lu Li gave a simple explanation. The more than 30 warriors didn't dare to stay any longer. They flew to the north with Lu Li.
On the way, Lu Li analyzed for a while and thought of another possibility.
Could it be one of the four great forces?
Did they want to shift the blame to another force?
Drag the Palace of Smoke into the mess and fight a force together?
If that was the case, then everyone would be in danger.
If it was the four forces, then none of them would be able to escape. All of them would be hunted down.
The more one worried about something, the more likely it was to happen!
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li heard some noises coming from the front. Then more than 100 warriors came. The leader was a warrior of the Fifth Tribulation.
"Charge!"
Lu Li released his dragon wings without hesitation and shouted at the same time, "Scatter and run."
The more than 30 warriors ran to all sides like frightened rabbits. Lu Li didn't fly at the top of his speed. He kept a low profile and flew to the west, staying close to the ground.
As the more than 30 warriors ran, the others scattered as well. One warrior at the peak of the Fourth Tribulation was high-profile. He flew to the sky directly and was targeted by the warrior of the Fifth Tribulation.
But the warrior of the Fourth Tribulation did have some tricks up his sleeve. He sped up and fled to the north.
"Well done!"
Lu Li secretly gave the four warriors of the Fourth Tribulation a thumbs-up. He thought he would have to go across the void if things went south.
Now that the warrior of the Fifth Tribulation was distracted, Lu Li was not worried anymore.
He sped up and reached the speed of a warrior of the Fifth Tribulation.
His physical body was as strong as a warrior of the Fifth Tribulation. Naturally, he was faster as well. He flew across the sky and got rid of the pursuers.
"Whoosh ~"
Lu Li flew fast and at the same time, he used the trace of Dao. He could sense any movement from any direction.
As soon as he sensed someone, he would run away.
Though he felt he was taking a detour, it was safer.
Lu Li was ready to fly across the void at any time. He could not take the risk. Once the warrior of the Fifth Tribulation locked onto him, he might be killed.
"Whoosh ~"
After flying for an hour, it was inevitable that Lu Li was discovered. Two warriors came from the front. One of them was familiar to Lu Li. He must be a warrior of the Fifth Tribulation from the Palace of Smoke. He was covered in blood and the other warrior of the Fifth Tribulation was chasing after him.
The two warriors locked onto Lu Li with psychic power. The warrior of the Palace of Smoke paid no attention to Lu Li and kept on running.
The fifth tribulation warrior who was chasing Lu Li swung his saber. Then, a ray of sword light came at Lu Li.
Lu Li flew down at once. At the same time, he released the Skill of Dragon and transferred some invisible energy to his back to take the blow.
"Boom!"
He was smashed down. A huge ravine appeared on the mountain and he was smashed into the ground for hundreds of miles.
His qi and energy were disguised but there was no wound on his back …
"Eh?"
The warrior of the Fifth Tribulation thought he could kill Lu Li with one move. How come Lu Li was unharmed?
The warrior of the Fifth Tribulation was hesitant because he had been chasing after the warrior of the Palace of Smoke.
If the warrior of the Fifth Tribulation stopped attacking Lu Li, the warrior of the Palace of Smoke would run away …
After the time for one breath, the warrior of the Palace of Smoke gave up on Lu Li and went after the warrior of the Palace of Smoke.
The warrior of the Fifth Tribulation was so badly wounded that it was possible that the warrior of the Fifth Tribulation could kill him.
On the other hand, the warrior of the Fifth Tribulation could not hurt Lu Li. The warrior of the Fifth Tribulation might not be able to kill Lu Li even if he stayed.
"Whoosh!"
But before he left, the warrior of the Fifth Tribulation took out a signal detonator. He threw it into the sky. The detonator exploded in midair, lighting up half of the sky red.
"Sh * t!"
