During the two months, Emperor Rui never came back. The second batch of disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect went there as well. Hu Shimeng went as well.
Since they were connected, Patriarch Hu would make arrangements.
More demons were coming out from the world of the demons. Several powerful ones showed up but they were all killed by the emperors guarding there.
This caught the attention of the Celestial Emperor Sect. Lord Li went in person, fearing that there would be more powerful demons.
Lu Li continued to cultivate in the Rui Huo. The Rui Huo was still cultivating source energy and trying to use it.
Two months passed by quickly. He had cultivated more source energy, 10 times more than before, which was enough for him to use for thousands of times.
Patriarch Hu did not come. He only sent a letter, asking Lu Li to leave the Celestial Emperor City and stay in his manor. Patriarch Hu would make arrangements for him.
The sects would not care about disciples going in and out of the Celestial Emperor Realm. However, if they were to indulge in debauchery in the Celestial Emperor City, they would be looked down upon by the sects. Therefore, the disciples behaved themselves.
Nobody paid attention to Lu Li anymore. It had been a long time since there was any news about him. Many people thought that Lu Li was building a deserted world or not a Dharma Realm at all.
If Lu Li had cultivated source energy, he would have reported it immediately and everyone would be shouting about him. Last time, Lu Li came out looking gloomy. Naturally, people thought he had failed in cultivating source energy.
This time, Lu Li came out looking gloomy as well. The patriarch in charge of supervising glanced at him and then ignored him.
Lu Li left the Celestial Emperor City by Teleportation Formation and went directly to his manor. Nobody paid attention to him along the way.
A moment later, Lu Li heard a voice, "Lu, don't worry. Wait for a few days. We will leave when no one is paying attention to you."
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded. It was Yan Zu who sent the message. He was not in a hurry anyway.
Lu Li continued to cultivate. A few days later, a guest came to his castle. As soon as the guest came in, his face glowed and his appearance changed. He looked exactly like Lu Li.
Li Li substituted the peach for the dead.
Lu Li nodded. Hu Family was thoughtful. The fake Lu Li had been cultivating here. At least, he would not be exposed before Emperor Rui came back.
Even if Wang Ningxue came back, Hu Family could fool her.
The man gave Lu Li a mask. Lu Li put the mask on and went into a castle. Then, he teleported away.
The domain gate set up by the Hu family was located in a secret castle near the Celestial City. Yan Zu had already been waiting there for a long time. There weren't many people in this castle, only two servants. This was already arranged by Yan Zu.
"Is it ready?"
Yan Zu looked at Lu Li and said solemnly. Lu Li nodded. Yan Zu said, "I have been in closed-door cultivation for many years, but it is still easy for the Holy Maiden Sect to find out who I am. I will not show up for the time being."
Lu Li was confused. He asked, "Didn't we reveal our identities?"
"I thought about it and decided not to reveal your identity as a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sect for now."
Yan Zu explained, "First of all, I'm not a famous Thearch of the Celestial Thearch Sect, so we can't represent the Celestial Thearch Sect. Also, there are only two of us, so it doesn't make sense.
The Female Sage Sect will be suspicious. When the time comes, we will send a message to the Heavenly Emperor Sect. They will definitely send experts over immediately. "
"So …"
Yan Zu continued, "Let's go and see if there is any way. I know a patriarch of a big family over there. We can ask them for help. Let's go back first."
"Okay."
Lu Li knew that this matter could not be rushed. He had to go and see.
"Let's go."
Yan Zu waved his hand and opened the domain gate in person. Soon, the runes lit up and a domain gate appeared in midair.
The two dashed in and disappeared. After they left, the castle was sealed off by the servants. Nobody could come in.
This time, they had traveled a long distance and it would take a long time. The construction of the domain gate would take a long time as well.
Lu Li's soul was strong but he still felt dizzy. He did not know how long it had been.
Five days?
Ten days?
Half a month?
Finally, Lu Li saw a dim light. He took a deep breath and rushed out with Yan Zu.
"Plop!"
He fell to the ground. Yan Zu looked at him with a smile and said, "Your soul is still weak. If it were 10 times stronger, you would be able to stand it."
Lu Li rested for the time for two incense sticks to burn before he could recover. He found himself surrounded by barren hills. He asked, "Yan Zu, where are we?"
Yan Zu thought about it and said, "We should be at the Fairy Fox Dynasty, not far from the Holy Maiden Sect. It will take us a dozen days to teleport there."
"Let's go."
Lu Li stood up and said. Yan Zu grabbed him with one hand and flew away like a sharp sword. Soon, Lu Li found a city nearby. It was the Fairy Fox Dynasty.
Yan Zu changed his looks and Lu Li kept the mask on. They teleported all the way. Eight days later, they arrived at the border between the Fairy Fox Dynasty and the Holy Maiden Sect.
The border city.
This city was the territory of a major family, the Lin Family. The Lin Family was an affiliated family of the Fairy Fox Sect. The Fairy Fox Sect and the Holy Maiden Sect were on good terms. They were allies.
Yan Zu arrived at the Lin Family. Lin Family Patriarch came out to greet Lu Li in person. Yan Zu introduced Lu Li as his apprentice.
Lu Li followed Yan Zu obediently. He was only a warrior of the fifth tribulation so he was not eye-catching.
Yan Zu and the Lin Family Patriarch were on good terms. They had gone through thick and thin together. Yan Zu asked Lin Family Patriarch directly if Lu Li could do anything about the Dragon Rebel Antelope and Xiang Linglong.
"Dragon Rebel Antelope?
Xiang Linglong? "
The Lin Family Patriarch's complexion turned unsightly. He forced a smile and said, "These two are the top beauties this time. There are at least dozens of juniors from big families eyeing them. I have a great-grandson who also likes Xiang Linglong.
They are treasured by the Holy Maiden Sect. If it were someone else, I could think of something. But these two … "
Lu Li's mind was weighed down. He could understand. Both of them were stunning beauties and they had passed the sixth tribulation. Naturally, they were the best partners for many young masters.
"There is no other way."
Lin Family Patriarch looked at Lu Li and said, "It is hard enough to marry one, let alone two?
Then, he can only take the first place in the Dao Discussion at Hua Yang. A big character from the Female Sage Sect said that whoever takes the first place can pick three out of the thirty-five beauties. If he takes the second and third place, he can pick two. From the fourth to the tenth place, he can pick one.
"The Hua Yang Forum can choose three?"
Lu Li's eyes were filled with joy and then coldness. What did the Holy Maiden Sect think these disciples were?
To be treated as goods?
If he didn't come, Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong would have been chosen. If they didn't want to marry, then they would have to die.
Yan Zu thought about it for a while and suddenly said, "Lu Li, how about I get you a place?
You pretend to be a descendant of an old demon?
Go to the Hua Yang Forum first?
If you fail, then we will find a chance to take them away by force. "
"Okay, let's do it."
