Over the years, Lu Li had become familiar with using the Honesty Talisman. Since there were no outsiders here, Lu Li didn't have to disguise himself. He didn't have to use the colorful light, which would save him trouble. He just used the Honesty Talisman to kill the Abyssal Demon warriors.
In the end, Lu Li didn't even bother to use soul attacks. He generated Honesty Talismans and sent them to all sides.
Every Wu Wang Talisman could blast a Devil General away, but it couldn't kill them.
Lu Li didn't want to kill them either. They were only trying to break out of the encirclement, not to kill all the Abyssal Demon warriors.
It was simpler for Xiang Linglong. She released some chilly dragon energy and waved it around. Everywhere the chilly air reached, the Abyssal Demon warriors would be frozen into ice sculptures.
She didn't take out her white jade fan or else it would be more powerful.
She and Lu Li both chose not to release their strongest attacks, because they both knew that if they released too strong of an attack, it would be easy for them to be targeted by a Demon Lord. Now was not the time to risk their lives. Keeping a low profile would allow them to live longer.
Lu Ling did not release the Reverse Dragon Blood Seal. Instead, she took out a fire-red bow, pulled it open, and shot out arrows. Every time, she could shoot out more than a dozen arrows. Each arrow could knock away a Demon Abyss warrior.
The three of them were powerful. Even though there were many Abyssal Demon warriors coming at them, none of them had the chance to get close. They were smashed away by the three easily.
"It really is the Honesty Talisman. It is powerful!"
Lu Ling threw a glance to Lu Li. While moving forward, she asked, "Lu Li, did the Reincarnation Emperor teach you the Honesty Talisman?"
"No!"
Lu Li shook his head. "I have never seen the emperor in person. When we were teleported, it was the first time we saw his shadow.
I can learn the Honesty Talisman because I took Qi Tianyu's Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda. The Pagoda contains the mark of laws left by the emperor. I learned the Honesty Talisman after I studied the mark of laws. "
"I see!"
Lu Ling's bow glowed. She said no more and focused on breaking out of the encirclement.
In the distance, more and more Demon Abyss soldiers rushed over. They were getting closer to the third Demon Puppet, so it was normal for there to be more Demon Abyss soldiers.
The three of them walked together. Lu Li was at the front, and the other two stood on the left and right. The three of them stood in a triangle. Like a sharp sword, they dashed forward with unstoppable momentum.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, Lu Li and the other two broke out from the encirclement. Without any hesitation, Lu Li shouted, "Fly to the east."
To the north was the third Devil's Den. Not only were there countless Devil Abyss soldiers, but there were also many Devil Abyss powerhouses. Naturally, the three of them couldn't go there.
The three of them sped up to the extreme. At this point, the gap between their abilities could be seen. Linglong and Lu Ling were faster than Lu Li.
Even though Lu Li's physical body had reached the peak of the Fifth Tribulation thanks to the Unfettered Steps, his realm was still too low. He was only at the Fourth Tribulation. Naturally, his speed would be affected.
After a while, Xiang Linglong grew impatient. She said to Lu Ling, "Sister Ling, why don't you fly him?
Too slow. "
Lu Ling looked at Xiang Linglong with a smile and said, "Sister Linglong, I have just reached the peak of the Fifth Tribulation. I am slower than you. It will be even slower if I take someone with me. Sister, please go with him."
"Me?"
Xiang Linglong was surprised. She glanced at Lu Li from the corner of her eyes. She thought about it and flew over. She grabbed Lu Li's shoulder with one hand.
Lu Li touched his nose in embarrassment. He felt like he was living off a woman while being carried by a woman.
"Fly to the left."
After the time for half an incense stick to burn, Lu Li suddenly said.
Xiang Linglong flew to the left without any hesitation and Lu Ling went after her.
Lu Li closed his eyes and used the trace of Dao to sense the surroundings. They were so fast. If they didn't check carefully, they could run into the army of the Abyss of Demon again.
"Take a detour, go to the right!"
"Go back. There are armies up ahead!"
"Speed up and go through from the left. There are two armies of the Abyss of Demon up ahead."
Along the way, Lu Li kept yelling. His perception was much stronger than Xiang Linglong and Xiang Linglong's. They decided to stop checking and conserve their energy for the upcoming battle.
"We cannot avoid them. Get ready to break through!"
After the time for several incense sticks to burn, Lu Li shouted. Xiang Linglong put Lu Li down.
The three of them rushed forward. There was indeed an army of the Abyss of Demon up ahead. There were thousands of them.
The army of the Abyss of Demon hadn't noticed them yet. They were alerted by some noises and rushed over, yelling.
Lu Li and the other two fearlessly moved forward.
The three of them used their own skills and broke through the army of the Abyss of Demon.
Then, Xiang Linglong carried Lu Li on while he closed his eyes to sense the surroundings.
"That group of people should be nearby!"
After a while, Lu Li said with a sigh.
Xiang Linglong and Lu Ling frowned. Xiang Linglong asked, "How can you be so sure?"
"Armies and corpses of the Abyss of Demon!"
Lu Li explained, "I have seen many corpses along the way. I can tell how long the battle has been going on based on the coldness of the corpses. Also, I saw three different moves on the corpses, which means there are at least three people nearby. They arrived here at most an hour before us."
"Alas …"
Xiang Linglong sighed. The seven had left a day earlier than them. They didn't expect that they could catch up with them so easily. It seemed that things were not going well for them.
How many of the seven were still alive?
Moving on, they saw more Abyss of Demon warriors. They could often see the corpses of the Abyss of Demon warriors. Many of the corpses hadn't been dead for long, which meant that there were Abyss of Demon warriors nearby and they were not far away.
"Let's take a detour to the left."
Lu Li said to Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong after some thoughts. Lu Ling frowned but said nothing. Xiang Linglong was confused and asked, "Taking a detour of thirty thousand miles will cost us an hour or even two hours. Is it worth it?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li said with certainty, "Our people are ahead of us. They are leading the Abyss of Demon warriors toward the altar.
If we go with them, we will end up the same as them. We will be surrounded by countless Abyss of Demon warriors and we will have to fight our way out.
Like I said, there are seven of them and they are not weaker than us. If they cannot get in, then neither can we. "
Xiang Linglong understood. She said, "You mean … we should go to the other side?
While the Abyss of Demon warriors are distracted by them, we can find another way and go straight to the root of the problem?
This is a good idea, but isn't it too disloyal?
We can leave them behind. "
"What are we doing here?"
Lu Li said coldly, "You want to be loyal at a time like this?
If we can't complete the mission, then all our efforts and so many people out there will be in vain. Any sacrifice will be worth it as long as we can complete the mission.
What is more, they might not die. We might not be able to save them. Do you understand? "
"Okay!
Let's go! "
Xiang Linglong said no more. She flew quickly with Lu Li and Lu Ling by her side. Soon, the three of them disappeared into the mountains.
