"Du Zheng!"
Lu Li and Ming Yu looked at each other. Both of them were solemn. Ye Cha and Ming Yu didn't know much about what was going on outside so they didn't have much of a reaction.
The second most powerful warrior on the Northern Desert Warlord List was even more powerful than the Old Man of Heaven Prison.
If he were to make a move, Ye Cha and Ming Yu would be no match for him.
Lu Li looked at Yu Huashen with curiosity and asked, "It is said that there is a mysterious powerful warrior in the Haunted Hollow who helped you kill the Old Man of Heaven Prison. Is it Du Zheng?"
Yu Huashen thought about it and said, "I am not sure. But I think it is very likely."
"Not sure?"
Lu Li was taken aback and so was Ming Yu.
The Haunted Hollow was the scheme of Yu Huashen and the others. How come he didn't know the identity of the mysterious powerful warrior?
Yu Huashen explained, "As a matter of fact, the Yu Family is not the leader of this. It is Du Heng, the King of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom.
Yu Feinong and the other two came to kill you. Actually, they sent them to their deaths on purpose.
Their purpose was to enrage the Old Man of Heaven Prison and lure him out of the Thousand-island Lake to the Haunted Hollow to kill him. "
"What?"
Lu Li was shocked. Yu Feinong and the other two were not here to kill him, but to die?
That was so cruel.
Yu Huashen continued, "After Bai Xi came back from the Yu Emperor City, Du Heng sent someone to contact us.
I went to the Heaven Frigid Kingdom secretly. Du Heng made a plan and the other two Royal Family Patriarchs came.
Du Heng promised that he could kill the Old Man of Heaven Prison so we set up the plan. "
"Du Heng invited that mysterious powerful warrior."
Yu Huashen paused for a bit and said, "That mysterious warrior didn't do anything directly. He helped us build a formation in the Haunted Hollow to trap the Old Man of Heaven Prison so that we could kill him.
Because they didn't do anything, the Old Man of Heaven Prison had the chance to kill the Ye Family Patriarch, Bai Xi could die with a Noble Lord Realm warrior, and Bai Leng could escape. "
"If that mysterious powerful warrior had done something, the Old Man of Heaven Prison wouldn't have had the chance to kill the Ye Family Patriarch.
Because I can feel that person's combat capability is horrifying, no weaker than the Old Man of Heaven Prison. In the Northern Desert, only two people are stronger than the Old Man of Heaven Prison.
It is impossible for the temple to do anything. So it must be Du Zheng! "
"The reason why I could deduce that it was Du Zheng was because he didn't make a move.
Du Zheng was a member of the Central Prefecture's Du Family. A few of the top clans and forces in the Central Prefecture had an agreement.
The families of the Central Plains cannot get involved in the conflicts of the other plains unless the Du Family gives up their territory in the Central Plains and wholeheartedly develops in the Northern Desert … "
"One more thing. The forces of the Northern Desert have been suspecting that the Du Family of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom is related to the Du Family of the Central Plains.
It's very possible that the Du Family of the Heaven Cold Nation is actually a branch of the Du Family of the Central Prefecture. "
"The Du Family of the Central Plains secretly sent a branch to the Northern Desert to develop. Then they helped the Du Family of the Northern Desert to unify the Northern Desert.
The mysterious expert was also invited by Du Heng, so there is an 80% chance that the mysterious expert is Du Zheng. "
Lu Li and Ming Yu understood after Yu Huashen's explanation. Ye Cha and Ming Yu didn't quite understand so they didn't ask.
Lu Li thought about it and found Yu Huashen's deduction was reasonable.
Was it because the Heaven Frigid Kingdom had only been established for fifteen years?
The Heaven Punishing Auction House had not been in the Northern Desert for long.
The King of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom was surnamed Du, and the Heaven Punishing Auction House was also backed by the Du Family. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
"Something is not right …"
Lu Li had a question. He asked, "Yu Huashen, didn't you say that Du Zheng cannot get involved in the conflicts of the Northern Desert?
Doesn't that mean he can't do anything in broad daylight?
If he can't do anything, then what do we have to be afraid of? "
Yu Huashen forced a smile, cupped his fists and said, "Young Master, he can't do anything in broad daylight because he can't leave any evidence.
What if Du Zheng takes action by force and kills everyone here?
What if he disguises himself and does it secretly?
As long as there is no evidence, the big families of the Central Plains will not care.
For the big families of the Central Plains, the Northern Desert is just a barren land in the middle of nowhere. "
Ming Yu thought about it and said, "Young Master, you cannot act rashly.
If Du Zheng really has something to do with Du Heng, then the Du Family of the Central Plains will help the Du Family of the Northern Desert to unify the Northern Desert.
If you go to the Bai Emperor Mountain, you will be ruining the Du Family's plan. Du Zheng will definitely do something. "
Ye Cha and Ming Yu said nothing. For them, any decision of Lu Li's was right. They would carry it out without reservation.
Because Lu Li was the Holy Lord, the two of them were his loyal followers.
"Let's wait and see."
Lu Li didn't dare to act rashly. It was not a joke to offend the second most powerful warrior of the Northern Desert.
Lu Li called Pei An over and asked him to send a message to ask about the situation at the Bai Emperor Mountain. Then, he would wait for the right time.
…
The situation at the Bai Emperor Mountain was not good or bad. Hundreds of people kept striking at the mountain protection formation, but it was like a turtle shell that could not be cracked.
The hundreds of people were like a group of kids with wooden sticks. They could not crack the turtle shell no matter how hard they tried.
The mountain protection formation just kept glowing and didn't even tremble one bit.
The warriors on the ground had put their minds at ease. It seemed like the formation wouldn't be cracked in a couple of days.
Some people were heartless and simple-minded. They thought that the people outside would never be able to crack the mountain protection formation. They even started to mock and provoke the warriors outside. Some even insulted Du Heng and the others …
Madam Yan looked at the colorful shield above her head. She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest for a while. She exhaled and murmured, "We should be able to hold on for five or six days. I hope a miracle will happen!"
"Miracle?" Bai Xiashuang asked with curiosity, "Auntie, are you saying that Lu Li will come and save us?"
"Ha, ha!"
Madam Yan forced a smile and said, "Don't count on Lu Li. I know him very well. If he could help, he would have come a long time ago.
I am counting on the other two parties. Of course … the chances are slim. "
"Two parties?"
Bai Qiuxue was surprised. She couldn't think of anyone else at the Northern Desert that could help the Bai Family. How did Madam Yan find help from two families without batting an eyelid?
Madam Yan rubbed her temples and explained in a low voice, "One of them is the temple. I offered all the wealth, Mystical Materials and treasures of the Bai Family and asked the Chief Steward of the temple to help.
Clearly … the temple didn't do anything. Otherwise, these people wouldn't even be able to get into the Heaven Prison City. "
Bai Qiuxue nodded. The temple had never been involved in any disputes between forces. It had been hundreds of thousands of years and they never made an exception. It was unlikely that they would help just for some Mystical Materials and treasures of the Bai Family.
Bai Qiuxue asked, "Auntie, what about the other party?"
Madam Yan pointed to the southeast and said, "The Cyan Plains. The most overlord of the Cyan Plains, the Sun Palace, is a Seventh-rank Family.
As long as the Sun Palace sends some powerful warriors over, the situation at the Northern Desert will be solved.
After our forefather died, I sent a message to a small family at the Cyan Plains in a special way and asked them to contact the Sun Palace. Unfortunately, there is no reply yet. "
"The Sun Palace!"
Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang had a glimmer of hope. They had heard of the Sun Palace. It was the well-deserved overlord of the Cyan Plains.
Forces like the Palace of Goddess could not compete with it. A Seventh-rank Family had three Human Sovereign Realm warriors. Any one of them could suppress all the forces at the Northern Desert.
The major families of the Central Plains had an agreement that the families and forces of the Central Plains could not enter other plains.
However, the major families of the Central Plains could not control the other plains. It was not a big deal for powerful warriors of the Cyan Plains to come to the Northern Desert to help.
Ghost Snake Granny even went to the Ice Abyss to snatch the essence blood of the Beast King and killed warriors of the Yu Family.
"Five or six days!"
