They didn't have to wait for five days. Three days later, something happened, and it happened in the Dragon Rebel Clan and the Watercloud Palace.
Maybe Lu Ling didn't agree to ambush Lu Li. She felt bored staying in the valley. Therefore, she left the valley with the other young lady, ready to have a look around.
Lu Ling's unique temperament had attracted the attention of young masters from the other three forces. She had never shown herself before and her realm was unclear. Therefore, those from the Watercloud Hall thought she was just an average young lady.
Two young masters of the Watercloud Hall sneaked out. There was a small lake nearby. They thought Lu Ling and the other young lady were going to take a bath and wanted to enjoy the beauty coming out of the bath.
Lu Ling could sense Lu Li's presence even though he was invisible. Naturally, the two young masters found her.
She didn't mind at first. She wandered around with the young lady. However, the two young masters grew impatient after a while. They stopped the two young masters and flirted with them …
The other young lady was too angry to say anything. Her realm was good but she had little practical experience.
The two young masters from the Watercloud Hall were at the middle stage of the Fifth Tribulation.
The young lady wanted to take Lu Ling back to report this to the Dragon Rebel Pool.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ling made a move right away. She killed a Young Master in one move. She did it in a clean and efficient way without any hesitation.
The other young master was frightened. But he reacted quickly. He screamed at once, alerting those from the Watercloud Hall in the valley.
The young lady from the Dragon Rebel Race sent out a distress signal as well. The Dragon Rebel Pool rushed out with his men.
By the time those from the two sides came out, the remaining young master's hands and feet had been cut off by Lu Ling. He was a bloody ball of flesh rolling on the ground, howling …
Those from the Watercloud Hall flew into a rage. They were about to attack Lu Ling.
Naturally, the Dragon Rebel Pool and the others were unwilling. They all activated the Dragon Rebel Blood Seal and were ready to fight.
The other two forces were alarmed as well. They came out with people to mediate. While they were asking about the cause, Lu Ling pointed to the man who had turned into a ball of flesh and said coldly, "I didn't kill him. I kept him alive for you to ask. You can ask them what they did."
The other young lady of the Dragon Rebel Race accused the two at once. The Dragon Rebel Race was enraged when they learned that someone from the Watercloud Hall had flirted with a young lady of their race. More importantly, Lu Ling was of high status.
Enraged, the Dragon Inverse Pool did not care about anything else. In front of the experts of the Watercloud Palace, he killed the Young Master who had turned into a meatball.
The sparks were ignited at the slightest provocation. The situation couldn't be suppressed any longer. The tangled battle between the Dragon Rebel Clan and the Watercloud Palace broke out. Those from the other two forces stopped trying to persuade them.
The deaths and injuries of these two clans would be beneficial to their future treasure hunt.
If more people died, the competition would naturally weaken.
The two sides were fighting fiercely. However, the overall strength of the Dragon Rebel Clan was stronger. That was because even the weakest among them was at Dragon Rebel Yun's level. After awakening the Inverse Dragon Blood Seal, his fighting capacity could be compared to the middle stage of the Fifth Kalpa Tribulation.
The Water Cloud Palace, on the other hand, had experts in the early stage of the Fifth Tribulation, even though all of them were in the Fifth Tribulation. In addition, the Dragon Rebel Tribe had incredible defense after they had awakened the Rebel Dragon Blood Seal. The Dragon Rebel Abyss was full of treasures. Therefore, the Water Cloud Palace was suppressed.
Of course, it was not that the Watercloud Palace did not have any experts. The First Young Master Shui Yuerou's battle prowess was ferocious, and she had a Sovereign Weapon. She was evenly matched with the Dragon Oppressive Pool.
The battle lasted for two hours. There were casualties on both sides. The Dragon Rebel Tribe lost eight warriors and more than a dozen were injured.
The Watercloud Palace lost 10 warriors. Including the two who died earlier, there were 12 warriors in total. Many others were wounded.
Shui Yuerou took a look at the situation and knew they could not go on like this. She left with her warriors at once.
The Dragon Rebel Abyss didn't dare to linger either. Should the other two forces join hands to attack them, the Dragon Rebel Tribe would be wiped out.
Once the Dragon Rebel Tribe left, the other two forces lost the patience to wait here. Otherwise, the treasures would all be taken by the Dragon Rebel Tribe and the Watercloud Palace.
The four forces left. Soon, peace was restored in the valley. Only blood and some broken limbs were left outside the valley.
…
Lu Li cultivated outside for a month in peace. He was not in a hurry to go in. He was still cultivating because he had made great progress in the Heaven Armor Skill. He was about to master it.
Lu Li believed he could master it in about 10 days or half a month. He didn't mind waiting. It would be safer if he went in later.
He continued to cultivate to study the Heaven Armor Skill.
Nine days later, a ray of golden light came out from Lu Li's body. If someone could see into his body, they would see that there were three layers of golden net inside him.
With the three layers of net, his physical defense would be even stronger.
This was the unique skill of Tian Yazi. Not even his descendants passed it on to them.
"Nice!"
Lu Li opened his eyes and shouted happily. Given his physical strength and the Dragon Skill and the Heaven Armor Skill, he was confident that he could survive one strike from a warrior at the peak of the Fifth Tribulation.
"Let's go!"
He stood up and rested for a while. Then, he dashed into the tunnel and entered the valley.
As soon as he came out, he used the Dragon Skill and the Heaven Armor Skill. But it was quiet in the valley. Not a soul was in sight.
"Well …"
Lu Li nodded when he saw that there were more camps around. He was right. The Dragon Rebel Abyss and the others had been lying in ambush here. But it had been too long. They must have run out of patience and left.
Lu Li didn't move after he came out. He asked Blood Fairy to check the surroundings. Making sure that there were no divine patterns, he walked out of the valley slowly.
Soon, he saw the blood stains and broken limbs.
"A fight must have broken out."
Lu Li frowned. He did not know which side had started the fight. Would Lu Ling be in danger?
That being said, Lu Ling seemed to enjoy a high status with the Dragon Rebel Race. The powerful warriors of the Dragon Rebel Race would not let anything happen to her. Lu Li was a bit relieved.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li took a look and dashed forward. He could see footprints on the ground. It seemed that he could not fly here. He had to walk on his feet.
"What?"
A moment later, Lu Li found some footprints. The four teams must have split up.
Lu Li was worried. How could he tell which team belonged to the Dragon Rebel Race just by looking at the footprints?
The footprints were similar.
After a moment, Lu Li decided not to think too much. He followed a random set of footprints.
After all, he should be able to reach the exit by following any team.
This was a forest, a dense primeval forest.
There was no path here. Therefore, the tracks left by the teams ahead were obvious.
Lu Li noticed that there were herbs here as well. Many of them had been picked. Some were not ripe yet. It was pointless to pick them now. It would be a waste.
"Swish ~"
On his way, Lu Li saw a huge flower to his left.
While he was still a little astonished, the flower suddenly moved. Like the mouth of a giant beast, it suddenly attacked him and enveloped him within.
"Plants and trees have come to life."
Lu Li was not alarmed. He sensed that the flower was releasing a yellowish liquid that was corrosive.
He nodded. The flower was quite powerful. If an average warrior at the peak of the fourth tribulation was swallowed by the flower, that warrior would be consumed alive.
"Boom!"
A flying sword appeared in Lu Li's hand. After a while, the flower was cut open. Lu Li dashed out. Then, the green sword came back and minced the flower into pieces.
"The world is full of wonders. Let's go!"
