In just half a day, the news inevitably spread out. Madam Yan could not stop it even if she wanted to.
Except for Bai Leng and a few others, all the experts who had entered the Ghost Valley had died. However, not all of the ten thousand warriors who had gone to the Yu Emperor City had died.
Of course, they weren't far from death. Countless martial experts from the three kingdoms were chasing after them. It was estimated that more than half of them had already been killed.
Many martial artists used special methods to send messages back to their clans, so that their clans could make early arrangements for their funeral and send out the highest level of warnings.
The entire Thousand-island Lake was in chaos. Many Patriarchs tried to teleport to the Heaven Prison City only to find that they could not.
There were only two possibilities. One was that the Teleportation Formation was broken, and the other was that the Heaven Prison City's Teleportation Formation was closed.
No matter what the reason was, it meant that something big had happened.
All the families panicked, and all kinds of rumors and bad news spread everywhere.
Countless people were on tenterhooks and didn't know what to do.
Those who could come to the Thousand-island Lake were those who could not survive outside.
Many Families had been entrenched at the Thousand-island Lake for many years. They had established their roots here and never wanted to leave the Thousand-island Lake.
Besides, where could he go even if he wanted to escape?
The three Royal Families hated the Thousand-island Lake to their bones. All the major families must have been blacklisted.
Even if they could escape from the Thousand-island Lake, they would still be surrounded and killed.
There was no message from the Bai Family. The Families of the Thousand-island Lake were without a leader.
The families around the Heaven Prison Island immediately rushed to the Heaven Prison City to meet the Bai Family.
The Heaven Prison City was still old and majestic. The two characters "Heaven Prison" on the city gate were vigorous and powerful. The troops of the Bai Family were still standing on the city wall.
The Heaven Prison City was not lost, but the city was sealed. Only people could enter, but not leave.
Some families sent scouts in and obtained some information, but if they dared to go out, they would be killed immediately.
Patriarchs of a few fourth-rank families went to the foot of the Bai Emperor Mountain together to see Madam Yan.
However, not only was Bai Emperor Mountain locked down, but there was also a great formation that covered the entire Bai Emperor Mountain. Not even a mosquito could get in.
The Great Mountain Defense Formation of the Bai Family had been built for many years. It was set up by the Old Man of Heaven Prison. Its defensive power was very strong.
However, it had never been opened for so many years. Now that it was opened, it meant that the worst situation had occurred.
The fact that the Old Man of Heaven Prison and Bai Xi were killed was almost certain. The Bai Family could barely take care of themselves. All the other families knew that it was impossible to rely on the Bai Family, so they could only save themselves.
How could he save himself?
Many Patriarchs of the Families that stayed behind were about to cry. This time, 70% of the powerful warriors of the Thousand-island Lake went out. They thought they could make a fortune. Little did they know that the powerful warriors of the Thousand-island Lake were trapped.
The God-down Island also panicked.
Liu Yi and Patriarch Nine found Lu Li at once. Pei An and the Island Owners of the Third-rank Islands were here as well.
Now, Lu Li was their backbone. If Lu Li couldn't do anything, then everyone would have to wait for death.
"The Old Man of Heaven Prison is dead and so is Bai Xi. The armies of the three Royal Families will attack the Thousand-island Lake in 10 days.
It's no use looking for me. Run for your lives. No one can resist. "
When Lu Li met Pei An and the others, he left behind some words and went to the backyard with Liu Yi and Patriarch Nine.
Lu Li couldn't care less about the lives of Pei An and the others, nor did he want to.
However, he had to take care of the Liu Family.
He was pacing back and forth in a hall in the backyard. All the warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm of the Liu Family were standing there in silence, waiting for Lu Li's orders.
After the time for half an incense stick to burn, Lu Li made up his mind and asked, "How many people are there in the Liu Family?
The Internal Clan! "
Liu Yi and Patriarch Nine looked at each other and calculated. Soon, Liu Yi said, "The Liu Family has more than 2000 people including females. There are more than 3000 in the External Clan. Altogether, there are more than 5000."
"Forget about the External Clan!"
Lu Li thought about it and said, "Later, you send out battleships to go around and secretly move the Internal Clan warriors of the Liu Family to the Blood Evil Island and then to the Earth Dragon Island.
Remember … this must be kept a secret. If anyone else gets wind of this, none of the Liu Family will survive. "
"To the Earth Dragon Island?"
Liu Yi and the others were surprised. What was the Earth Dragon Island for?
Shouldn't they be trying to get out of the Thousand-island Lake?
"Don't overthink, don't ask and don't hesitate!"
Lu Li glanced over to the Patriarchs of the Spirit Sea Realm of the Liu Family coldly and said, "You only need to carry out my orders. I am warning you again. If you listen to me, the Liu Family can be saved.
If you don't, then do as you please. I will leave the Thousand-island Lake by myself. "
"Don't!"
Liu Yi panicked. She looked at the Patriarchs and said, "What are you waiting for?
Carry out the Island Owner's orders now. "
Patriarch Nine echoed, "I will kill anyone who dares to disobey the Island Owner's orders myself.
I will kill anyone who dares to leak the information. "
"Yes!"
The Patriarchs of the Liu Family accepted the order and they felt more at ease.
The other Families didn't know what to do. The Liu Family was fine.
With Lu Li holding the fort, they didn't have to think too much. They just had to follow Lu Li wholeheartedly.
Liu Yi left with a group of people and started to plan how to secretly send the Liu Family warriors to the Earth Dragon Island.
Lu Li had made it clear that no information could be leaked or the Liu Family would be doomed.
Lu Li planned to send the Liu Family warriors into the small world. He had stayed with the Liu Family for such a long time.
Even a dog would have feelings for him. Therefore, he could not leave the Liu Family alone.
The small world would be safe for the time being. The armies of the three Kingdoms wouldn't have time to worry about it.
When the armies occupied the Bai Emperor Mountain, they would come and look for the Liu Family warriors. Ye Cha and the others had all made breakthroughs so there was no need to be afraid of them.
There were five Noble Lord Realm warriors and the Mammoth Race in the small world.
The Cyan Phoenix Race was the fastest race in the world. The powerful warriors of the three Royal Families might not be able to gain the upper hand.
Soon, the Liu Family became busy. The God-down City was in chaos.
Lu Li couldn't manage them so the other Families had to save themselves.
Nobody blamed Lu Li. After all, he was relying on the Bai Family.
The Bai Family couldn't even take care of themselves now. They couldn't count on anyone but themselves.
Some Families had started to prepare to escape. They wanted to sneak out of the Thousand-island Lake as soon as possible before the armies of the three Kingdoms surrounded them.
There were also families that contacted the great families of the three kingdoms, begging for their protection.
If they had the protection of the Big Families, they could easily get out of the Thousand-island Lake. They would be completely safe once they entered the sphere of influence of the Big Families.
The Families by the lake were having a better time because they had been in touch with the outside world. They had dealings and friendships with the forces around the Thousand-island Lake.
They spent some Xuan Crystals and sent their elite disciples away in secret.
The Families that escaped were not so lucky.
Scouts were everywhere outside the Thousand-island Lake. Armies were stationed in many places. Three Third-rank Families that escaped had all been killed.
By the afternoon of the next day, the news was confirmed — the three Royal Families had given the order. Many armies were gathered outside the Thousand-island Lake. The entire Thousand-island Lake was surrounded. Only death awaited those who tried to escape.
