The higher-ups of the Celestial Emperor Sect had made it clear that they would not attend the seminar in Hua Yang. Also, there was something going on at the north. It was almost impossible for Lu Li to go to the Holy Lady's Sect.
Therefore, it would be pointless even if Lu Li begged Emperor Rui or Lord Li.
The Celestial Emperor Sect would not change the rules for him, nor would they open a space portal for him to go to the Holy Lady's Sect.
The Celestial Emperor Sect was a place of rules. There were many rules. Once a disciple made a mistake, he would be punished.
Since the rules were so important, the Celestial Emperor Sect would not change its rules for the sake of others.
Therefore, Lu Li was panicking when he heard about the seminar in Hua Yang. Based on his understanding of Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong, they would not join the Holy Lady's Sect.
Both of them were top-notch beauties, and their strength wasn't bad either. The possibility of them becoming marriage partners was very high.
They were staunch. How could they yield?
How could they be pressured to marry someone they did not like?
The outcome of the two seemed to be predestined.
The more Lu Li thought about it, the more anxious he became. All the efforts he had made at the Celestial Emperor Sect could not help him.
Even if he had a master at the Great Emperor Realm, there was nothing he could do. If he were to ask Emperor Rui for help, he might be locked up — Emperor Rui would not allow him to mess around.
A disciple of the Celestial Emperor Sect messing around at the Holy Lady's Sect would affect the relationship between the two sects.
The two sects were not on good terms. If Lu Li were to mess around, he might start a war between the two sects.
How could Emperor Rui agree to let Lu Li go to the Holy Lady's Sect?
"Calm down, calm down!"
Lu Li forced himself to calm down. What he needed to do now was to wait for news and make sure if Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong would be the candidates for marriage.
If that wasn't the case, then everything would be fine.
If so, then he would have no other choice. He must try his best to go to the Holy Lady's Sect and save the two. Or … die with them.
After a while, Lu Li felt he was ready to risk everything. He went back to his room and began to cultivate even more crazily.
He was still going to cultivate the Realm of Dharma. He needed more Origin Energy even if he did not know how to use it.
Hu Shimeng's investigation would take time. It would take at least 10 days or half a month for the news to spread.
Lu Li cultivated patiently, day and night, trying to accumulate more Origin Energy.
The entire Dharma Realm was like a super cauldron, continuously rotating. Invisible streams of air gathered in that space, finally forming strands of white energy.
Time passed by day by day. After 17 days, Hu Shimeng finally came back. Lu Li stopped cultivating at once. He welcomed Hu Shimeng in and let him into the room.
"How is it?" he asked anxiously.
Hu Shimeng's expression was rather grave. He nodded and said, "According to the analysis of our Hu Clan's intelligence hall, the two ladies you mentioned … should be candidates for a marriage alliance. Information about the two of them has already been spread. Many top-notch young masters have already declared that they are determined to get their hands on the two of them.
Both of them are at the Lord Realm. Their combat strength is very strong, and they have peerless beauty and extraordinary bearings. They're top-rate beauties. "
Lu Li's mind was weighed down. As a matter of fact, he had a feeling that this was going to happen. What he didn't expect was that the two had reached the sixth tribulation. Geniuses would always be geniuses.
"I must go to the Holy Lady Sect!"
Lu Li made up his mind after some thoughts. It was pointless to go to the Holy Lady Sect, the Rui Emperor or Lord Li now. Instead, he would be grounded and his freedom would be taken away.
Therefore, he had to sneak away and sneak to the Holy Lady Sect in the shortest time possible so that he could find a way to save the two.
There would always be a way. If he went to the Holy Lady Sect, he might have a chance. If he didn't, the two would die for sure.
"Lu Li, the two …"
Hu Shimeng asked but Lu Li didn't answer. He remained silent.
After a while, Lu Li said, "Brother Hu, can your family open up a super spatial gate to teleport to the Holy Lady Sect?"
"Super spatial gate?"
Hu Shimeng frowned. He thought about it and said, "We can. But it is difficult to build such a long-distance spatial gate and it will cost a lot of materials … wait, Lu Li, you don't want my family to open up a super long-distance spatial gate so that you can teleport there, do you?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li said with certainty, "I want to borrow the strength of your family. I want to go to the Holy Lady Sect. I am willing to pay any price as long as the Hu Family can help me."
"No way. That is impossible!"
Hu Shimeng shook his head like a rattle drum and said, "Lu Li, you are being too naive.
I don't have such authority in my family. Even if I did, do you think my family would dare to send you to the Holy Lady Sect secretly? "
"Lu Li, calm down!"
Hu Shimeng said after a pause, "The rules of the sect are strict. If you dare to do anything, not even Emperor Rui can save you.
You might be exiled from the sect, not to mention being executed.
We don't have the guts to help you. When the big shots of the sect fly into a rage, we will follow in the footsteps of the Guan Family. "
Hu Family was an affiliated family of the Heaven Emperor Sect. Hu Shimeng knew the rules of the Heaven Emperor Sect all too well even though he didn't know what Lu Li was going to do at the Holy Lady Sect.
That being said, leaving the Heaven Emperor Sect and the Heaven Emperor Dynasty without permission was a felony in and of itself.
A disciple that disobeyed orders, disregarded the interests of the sect, and acted recklessly. What was the use of that disciple, no matter how good he was?
He would only bring trouble and harm to the sect.
Therefore, if Lu Li dared to leave without permission, not even Emperor Rui could save him. He might be exiled from the sect or even hunted down.
As for the Hu Family that helped Lu Li leave, the higher-ups of the Heaven Emperor Sect would give them the cold shoulder and follow in the footsteps of the Guan Family.
Hu Shimeng was close to Lu Li and he was loyal to his friends. That being said, when it came to the core interests of the family, Hu Shimeng must insist.
What was more, he didn't have the authority to help Lu Li.
Lu Li showed no emotion. Instead, he was terrifyingly calm.
He knew what Hu Shimeng said but he had to go to the Holy Lady Sect. There was no doubt about that.
Even if the Heaven Emperor Sect wanted to hunt him down, he had to go, let alone be exiled from the Heaven Emperor Sect.
He was thinking about how to get there and how to ask the Hu Family to help him. It was impossible to rely on the Heaven Emperor Sect. Flying beasts were too slow.
The only way was to open up a long-distance portal and teleport there in one go.
Lu Li thought about it and asked, "Is there a branch of the Cabinet of Heaven Will in the Heaven Emperor City?
Can they open a portal and send me to the Holy Lady Sect? "
"Yes!"
Hu Shimeng said with certainty, "But they will not accept a deal like yours, no matter how high the price is.
Do you think they are stupid enough to offend the Heaven Emperor Sect just for this deal? "
"There is no other way. I have to count on you, Brother Hu!"
