The Northern Plains was located at the northernmost part of the Third Heaven. It was covered in ice and snow all year round, so it was named the Northern Plains.
The temperature here was low. Of course, for warriors, the low temperature wouldn't affect them much.
Even though it was covered in ice and snow all year round, there were many elixirs here. Some elixirs grew in the ice and snow and couldn't grow in other places. Therefore, they could be sold at a high price.
Because of the harsh climate here, the physique of the warriors here was stronger than that of ordinary warriors. Every one of them had a strong physique, and the women were even more majestic.
The place Lu Li and the others were teleported to was called the Big Dipper City. This was the second largest city at the Northern Plains and the base camp of the Lian Family, a super family.
This city was also regarded as the base camp of the rear. All warriors that came to the Northern Plains to fight would be teleported here and then sent to all the theatres of operations.
"So many people!"
Lu Li and the other two arrived at the south side of the Big Dipper City. As soon as they came out, they saw a crowd of people.
Because there were too many people, it was hard to accommodate all of them. Therefore, many people had set up camps in the wild. Lu Li and the others glanced over. There were at least hundreds of thousands of colorful tents of various colors.
"Whoosh!"
A team of warriors in white armor came over. The leader was a warrior at the initial stage of the Fifth Tribulation. He was polite to Lu Li and the others. He cupped his fists and said, "Nice to meet you. May I ask where you are from?"
Lu Li said nothing. Qi Dingdong took out a token and said, "I am a disciple of the Qi Family. We are going to the Qi Family."
"You are a young lady of the Qi Family."
The smile on the leader's face was more amiable. The Reincarnation Emperor was more or less the commander here.
This young lady looked young but she was at the later stage of the Fifth Tribulation. She must be a young lady of the immediate Qi Family.
"There are some patriarchs of the Qi Family in the city. Please come with me. I will take you there."
The leader led the three into the city. Qi Dingdong asked about it and was surprised to find that her grandpa was here. He was one of the higher-ups in charge of the base camp.
The three of them entered a huge manor. Second Patriarch had been informed and he was waiting in front of a castle with several people.
Qi Dingdong's eyes turned red when she saw Second Patriarch. She rushed to him and shed tears.
"Alright, you're not a child anymore. Don't be so delicate!"
Second Patriarch patted Qi Dingdong's head with a smile. After comforting Qi Dingdong for a while, Second Patriarch looked at Lu Li and said, "God of Massacre, congratulations on becoming an honorary patriarch of the Qi Family. From now on, we are family."
"Thank you, Second Elder!"
Lu Li cupped his fists. "I am to blame for what happened to Qi Tianyu. Also, the Sovereign Weapon should be returned to the Qi Family."
"There's no need to say more about Qi Tianyu's matter. He reaped what he sowed.
As for the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda, it was given to you by the Tribe Leader. The Tribe Leader's words carry enormous weight, so you don't have to say anything more.
Besides, you're now an Honorary Elder, so you can be considered a member of the Qi Clan. Even if you have this Sovereign Weapon, it will still be in the hands of the Qi Clan. "
"Alright!"
Lu Li didn't decline anymore. Second Patriarch showed them in and asked them about their experiences in the Heaven Path Universe.
Lu Li gave a simple explanation. He didn't go into details about how he knew about the changes outside and how to get out.
Second Patriarch didn't ask further. That was Lu Li's privacy. If Lu Li didn't want to talk about it, Second Patriarch wouldn't ask.
Some patriarchs of the Xiang Family were here and Xiang Linglong's father happened to be here. Xiang Linglong left as soon as she got the news.
After being trapped in the Heaven Path Universe for so many years, it was only natural that Xiang Linglong wanted to go back.
Lu Li asked about the situation at the Northern Plains and Second Patriarch told him about it in detail.
There were four battle zones here with several Great Emperor Realm warriors in charge.
The southern one was under the command of the Reincarnation Emperor, the eastern one was under the command of the Dragon Rebel, the northern one was under the command of Emperor Qu, the most powerful Great Emperor Realm warrior of the Northern Plains, and the western one was under the command of Tu Di, a famous Great Emperor.
Second Patriarch asked Lu Li which battle zone he wanted to go to.
He could arrange everything.
Lu Li decided to go to the southern one after some thoughts. With the Reincarnation Emperor there, at least he wouldn't have to worry about his own people plotting against him.
He could see Lu Ling at the eastern battle zone but it might not be safe there. Once the Dragon Rebel Race learned about his identity, someone might take action against him.
That being said, there was someone he knew there, a big brother, Tian Yazi, whom he wanted to visit.
"I will stay here for a while and find a chance to go to the eastern battle zone. It's not far anyway."
Lu Li made up his mind. He told Second Patriarch not to expose his identity. He would fight against the Abyss of Demons in a low-key manner and cultivate for a while to improve his abilities.
Lu Li was well aware that in such a chaotic world, he would die soon if he was too high-profile without absolute power.
He had many strange skills but none of them were of the Lord Realm.
If he were to be too high-profile, he would be targeted by powerful warriors of the human race or the Abyss of Demons. Only death would await him.
Second Patriarch expressed his understanding. He would also send a message back to ask the Spatial City not to spread the news. He would also make arrangements for Lu Li in a low-key manner.
Battles were indeed the best time to improve. This war would not end anytime soon. Therefore, for Lu Li, Qi Dingdong, Xiang Linglong and the others, this was a good chance to grow.
Second Patriarch arranged for Lu Li and Qi Dingdong to rest while he went to make arrangements to leave Lu Li and Qi Dingdong there.
Xiang Linglong, who had been away for two days, also came over. The Second Elder gathered the three of them together, pointed at the map and said, "There's a mountain range here called Dong 'an Mountain. It's not far from the southern warzone, Northern Goblin City.
Our Family Patriarch and the others are at the Northern Demon City so it will be safer here.
The commander here is our Forefather of Heaven's Moon. Dingdong knows him. You better put on your masks and cultivate in a low-key manner. Focus on improving your abilities. Don't be too ostentatious and don't take risks. Do you understand? "
"Forefather of Heaven's Moon?"
Qi Dingdong's eyes narrowed into crescent moons. She said, "Brother Lu, Forefather of Heaven's Moon is a kind man. He treats me very well. We will be safe there."
"Okay, let's go this way!"
Lu Li nodded. Xiang Linglong had no objection. The Xiang Family were all at the southern battle zone. There were Xiang Family warriors everywhere. It would be the same for her.
She was also interested in what Second Patriarch said about wearing masks to hide their identities. She didn't want to have flies buzzing around her all day while she was cultivating. That would be annoying.
Second Patriarch handed over some pellets to the three of them and said, "These are the Spirit Changing Pellets developed by our family. You can change your appearance easily after taking them.
As long as you are not a lord, you will not be able to sense it. There are not too many young masters and young ladies over there. I don't think anyone will recognize you if you stay hidden. You can cultivate there in a low-key manner. "
"Okay!"
The three of them took the Spirit Changing Pellets. Lu Li became a burly man while Qi Dingdong and Xiang Linglong changed their shapes and appearances.
Even though they had changed, they were still two beauties with completely different styles. For beauties, it was natural for them to resist changing into old ladies or ugly ladies.
"Go!"
Second Patriarch waved his hand with a smile. A team leader teleported the three of them away.
After the three of them left, Second Patriarch's smile disappeared. He sighed with worry and said, "The Emperor Star of Diablo dimmed, the Emperor Star of Myrtle lit up, the world is in chaos. Everything is going according to our Family Patriarch's prediction. Is our Family Patriarch really going to fall?
Is our Qi Family going to face a disaster as well? "
