"There is no one on the Mount Voodoo!"
Outside the Mount Voodoo came three old men with unique appearances. One of them was a brawny bald man, one was a white-haired Taoist priest and the last one was a skinny old man.
The three of them circled around the Mount Voodoo and checked with psychic power. But they didn't find any living beings.
The poisonous fog on the Mount Voodoo was thick and it was everywhere. If the three were not lords, they wouldn't have the courage to come here.
Even so, the three of them were careful. They used psychic power to check everywhere but they couldn't find anyone.
"Is there something wrong with the information?"
The brawny bald man frowned. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "If there is something wrong with the information, then it is none of our business. We won't refund the deposit. What a waste of our time."
"Zou San, don't worry!"
The short old man waved his hand and said, "Let's take a closer look. There are some Divine Glyphs in several places. Maybe they are in there. Let's go and have a look."
"Alright!"
The two followed the short old man. After another round of searching, they arrived at the entrance of a cave.
There were Divine Glyphs at the entrance and they were powerful. The three of them noticed it but they didn't dare to come in rashly for fear of being killed.
"This should be a Divine Glyphs of an Emperor Realm warrior …"
The short old man thought about it and said, "Is it Emperor Rui's Divine Glyphs?"
The three of them were invited by Guan Qianqiu to kill Lu Li. Guan Qianqiu didn't hide Lu Li's identity and he told them everything.
The three of them were good friends. They were known as the Three Heroes of the Demon Lake and they were professional assassins. If the three knew that Guan Qianqiu had lied to them, then the three of them would try their best to kill Guan Qianqiu.
The three of them were not worried about a disciple of the Celestial Emperor Sect because they had assassinated disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect before.
The three of them were good at assassination and they knew how to disguise. Last time, when they assassinated a disciple, the Celestial Emperor Sect thought that the disciple was killed by a beast.
Lu Li was alone at the Mount Voodoo, which gave the three a good chance.
After killing Lu Li, they could disguise him. They could make it look like Lu Li had died because of touching the Divine Glyphs or because of cultivation deviation. The three of them were experts in this field …
As for Lu Li's abilities, Guan Qianqiu, Guan Qianqiu and Guan Qianqiu did not state Lu Li's abilities in detail. He only mentioned that Lu Li seemed to have passed the fifth tribulation and that his physical and soul attacks were impressive. He also had a Sovereign Weapon.
The three of them had to kill many warriors like Lu Li every year. Therefore, they wanted to kill Lu Li as soon as they found him. Then, they could disguise themselves and find a place to hide for a while. Everything would be fine after the limelight died down.
Guan Qianqiu's price was very high: five trillion divine stones, three tribulation pills, and two precious divine medicines.
The Tribulation Transcendence Pill is very valuable, there is no market for it.
What was more, Lu Li had a Sovereign Weapon, which was also tempting.
Guan Qianqiu had originally found a scapegoat to negotiate with the three in his place.
Unfortunately, the trio didn't buy it. After all, the matter of killing a Heavenly Emperor Sect's disciple was too big. The trio didn't trust the person Guan Qianqiu found.
Guan Qianqiu had to throw caution to the wind. Average warriors could not kill Lu Li.
The three of them were famous murderers in the black market. With the three of them, Lu Li could be killed.
The three of them were famous warriors as well. If the Heavenly Emperor Sect found out, then the three of them would die as well.
The three of them promised Guan Qianqiu that they would not let the Heavenly Emperor Sect find out. Guan Qianqiu had no other choice but to take the gamble.
"This is tricky!"
Since the three of them were proficient in assassination, they naturally knew something about the divine patterns. They observed for a while and realized that the divine pattern was exquisite. It was a powerful defensive one and there was a warning one.
The three of them were confident that they could crack the defensive one. The problem was this warning one.
Once they cracked the defensive one, the one who set up the warning one would know immediately. If it was the Rui Emperor who set it up, the Rui Emperor would open the space gate at once.
This place was within the Heavenly Emperor Dynasty. If the Rui Emperor opened the space gate by force, he could arrive in an hour at most.
Granted, an hour was enough for the three of them to kill Lu Li. The problem was that the Rui Emperor would know that someone had killed Lu Li.
It was not a problem for them to run away in an hour. But they would leave some traces that the Heavenly Emperor Sect could track down.
Killing Lu Li was not a big deal. But if the Heavenly Emperor Sect learned that it was the three of them who killed Lu Li, then it would be a grave matter.
Even if the three of them could survive, they would be hunted down by the Heavenly Emperor Sect. They would never see the light of day again.
"Taoist, what do you think?"
The two of them turned to the Taoist who was the core of the three. He was the one who made the decisions.
The Taoist closed his eyes and pondered. After the time for half an incense stick to burn, he said, "Let's do it!"
"Oh?"
Zou San and the bald man were filled with killing intent. If the Taoist said he would do it, then he must be confident.
The Taoist explained as well. He took out a mysterious black badge and said, "We will crack the divine pattern as fast as we can and kill that punk. Then, we will throw the badge away and run.
We will go to the headquarters of the Luna Pavilion. We will take a detour and leave the Heavenly Emperor Dynasty. We will hide in the Watercloud Dynasty for a while. "
"Taoist, you are so sneaky!"
The bald, burly man laughed and said, "Let the Luna Pavilion take the blame. We can kill two birds with one stone. Those bastards from the Luna Pavilion tricked us last time. If the Heavenly Emperor Sect can wipe them out, it will be perfect."
The short old man sneered and said, "How about we send someone to get some evidence to the Luna Pavilion?
By then, they will not be able to explain themselves. "
"Don't overreach yourself!"
The Taoist waved his hand and said, "It is obvious enough that we threw their badge away. I will smash it later so that it will not be obvious.
Are the people of the Heavenly Emperor Sect idiots?
As long as we run fast and do not give them any evidence, the Heavenly Emperor Sect will have to save face. They will have to deal with the Luna Pavilion. Their higher-ups don't like the Luna Pavilion as well … "
"Let's do it!"
A heavy saber appeared in the bald man's hand. He shouted, "Let's attack together and crack it as fast as we can. Let's go in and kill that punk. Then, we will run."
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The three of them attacked at the same time, using their strongest moves. The defensive pattern was indeed built by the Rui Emperor.
That being said, the pattern he built was not particularly strong. In the time for one incense stick to burn, the three of them had cracked it.
The three of them flew in and saw a formation of illusion. Behind the formation was a cave. Their eyes glowed. Lu Li was in there.
"Whoosh!"
The three of them dashed into the cave. It was an old world. There was a faint presence of living beings in this world. The three of them were more certain that Lu Li was in there.
"What?"
Almost at the same time, the Rui Emperor, who was in the Heaven Emperor Realm, put down the goblet in his hand.
There were no treasures in the Voodoo Mountain. Instead, it was filled with toxic fog. Normally, nobody would go there, let alone crack the divine patterns.
Not to mention to crack his runes. It was highly possible that someone was targeting Lu Li.
Someone was trying to assassinate his disciple?
