Lu Ling was at the back of the mountain but Patriarch Yu and Patriarch Shan had lied. Why would they do that?
Why didn't they let him meet Lu Ling?
Lu Ling must know the meaning of the name "Lu Li". But she asked who Lu Li was.
There could only be two explanations. Either it was inconvenient for Lu Ling to see him or … her memory was sealed!
Either way, given Lu Li's abilities, he could not see Lu Ling now.
He could not do anything rash, which would bring harm to Dragon Ni Yun.
Lu Li forced himself to calm down. At least, he was happy to know that Lu Ling was here and that she was fine.
Lu Li exhaled. After some thoughts, he said, "Brother Yun, can you bring that maid here? I want to ask her something. Don't worry. I will not do anything rash!"
Dragon Ni Yun opened his eyes. He walked out after some thoughts and asked someone to get the maid.
Lu Li and Dragon Ni Yun waited quietly. Lu Li was also trying to figure out a way to meet Lu Ling.
He had gone through so many hardships and narrowly escaped death before he arrived at the Dragon Ni Valley. Lu Ling was nearby. He would not like to go back with his tail between his legs.
Also, to go back to the Second Heaven, he would have to cross the Silver Flame Sea and the Wind Continent. Who knew what could happen?
What if he died on the way?
He would not be able to rest in peace.
Therefore, he would not go back without seeing Lu Ling. He would find a chance to meet her even if he had to stay at the Flying Fire Continent for a while.
At dawn, the maid sneaked out. Lu Li took out the portrait and asked. The maid was sure that she was the one in the portrait. Lu Li then asked about Lu Ling.
"That young lady has been cultivating at the back of the mountain."
The maid said, "I have never seen her before. I just asked a sister of mine about her. She has been cultivating in a secret realm at the back of the mountain for many years.
Nobody disturbs her. Only that sister of mine goes there to serve her. That young lady doesn't talk. Apart from resting, she cultivates … "
The maid didn't know much but she was sure of several things. Lu Ling was safe and she was not suffering. She didn't wander around and had been staying in the secret realm.
Lu Li was relieved. After the maid left, Lu Li sat with his legs crossed. Two hours later, he opened his eyes and said, "Brother Yun, can you open the portal and send me to a place?"
"Open the Domain Gate?"
Dragon Ni Yun paused, thought for a while, and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem, right?
As long as you don't go too far.
If you want to open the spatial gate to go to Lifire City, the difficulty will be higher. I think you will need Elder Shan's approval. "
"No!"
Lu Li waved his hand and said, "I am going to the Great Buddha Mountain. You know that, right?"
"I know!"
Dragon Ni Yun nodded and said, "That's the base camp of the Huo Family. Why are you going there?
Do you know the Huo family? "
"Yes!"
Lu Li nodded but didn't explain too much. He just cupped his fists and said, "Brother Yun, thank you."
"That's no trouble at all!"
Dragon Ni Yun waved his hand and said, "The Great Buddha Mountain is not far from here. I'll find a commander to arrange it. After all, you're our guest. It's not too much to ask."
Dragon Ni Yun went out to make arrangements. Lu Li waited quietly by himself. He was still unwilling to admit defeat but he didn't dare to act rashly.
Patriarch Yu and Patriarch Shan's attitudes had taught him one thing — the Dragon Ni Yun wouldn't value Lu Li more because of the Asmodian Lord. If Lu Li dared to act rashly, the powerful warriors of the Dragon Ni Yun would kill him without mercy.
Therefore, there was only one way left for him, to seek help from Tian Yazi.
Tian Yazi was the Great Patriarch of the Huo Family. He had been trapped in the Cave of Ice for more than 10,000 years. It was a blessing in disguise. In terms of soul, he was very accomplished. When he recovered to his peak state, he might be able to compete with a Quasi-Emperor.
The Huo Family was born in one of the 27 forces. Tian Yazi had top-notch abilities. Tian Yazi could use a lot of power.
Tian Yazi was nice to Lu Li. If Lu Li went to Tian Yazi for help, Tian Yazi would not say no.
Lu Li didn't know many people at the Flying Fire Land. Only Tian Yazi could help him.
Dragon Ni Yun came back after two hours. He told Lu Li that he had reported to the higher-ups and they agreed. But he needed half a day to prepare.
Lu Li didn't wander around or do anything. He waited quietly. He knew that if he were to act rashly, Dragon Ni Yun would be implicated.
Dragon Ni Yun was a man of brotherhood. He had done Lu Li a great favor. Lu Li would not hurt him.
What was more, even if Lu Li were to do something rash, what could Dragon Ni Yun do?
Half a day passed by. Dragon Ni Yun showed Lu Li to a yard where there were some warriors of the Fifth Tribulation. They had opened the space gates. Dragon Ni Yun cupped his fists to Lu Li and said, "Brother Lu, have a pleasant journey. See you again if fate allows."
Lu Li cupped his fists and said, "Brother Yun, I owe you a big favor. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, I will not say no."
"Alas … Brother Lu!"
Dragon Ni Yun sighed but said nothing. He just waved his hand.
Lu Li dashed into the space gate. Then, the space gate slowly disappeared. Lu Li teleported away and vanished from the Dragon Rebel Valley.
After Lu Li left, space trembled. Two people came out from the yard. They were Patriarch Rain and Patriarch Shan.
Patriarch Rain waved his hand to let the warriors of the Fifth Tribulation leave. They looked at Dragon Ni Yun. Patriarch Rain asked, "Is Lu Li doing anything strange these days?"
Dragon Ni Yun's heart skipped a beat. He thought the two patriarchs had learned about what he did. But it seemed that they didn't.
Dragon Ni Yun thought about it and said, "Nothing strange. He is just a bit disappointed, as if he has lost his soul. He is in a bad mood."
"Oh, I see!"
Patriarch Rain waved his hand. Dragon Ni Yun left at once. After he left, Patriarch Rain looked at Patriarch Shan and said, "Will that kid blame us if he finds out about this?"
"Even if he does, we have to do it!"
Patriarch Shan sighed coldly and said, "We didn't make the decision. It was our Family Patriarch.
Since he is a member of the Dragon Ni Clan, he must obey the interests of our clan. Our rules are above everything else. "
"Alas …"
Patriarch Rain sighed and said, "This is her fate. But that kid is a talent as well. He came up from the mortal world step by step and reached the Dragon Ni Valley. It is a miracle."
"There are many talents!"
Patriarch Shan shook his head indifferently and said, "There are many talented people in the world. But how many of them can stand at the peak?
For our clan, all those below the Emperor Realm are nonentities.
If they are nonentities, then what is the difference between a stronger one and a weaker one?
You know that he is cultivating the Supreme Divine Body and is only at the peak of the Third Tribulation Realm. Even if he has some attainments in soul power, how far can he go? "
"That's true …"
