Normally, there wouldn't be any problems when a spatial gate was opened. Before the gate was opened, Yan Zu observed it in person.
If so, why did they come to the desert instead of the Ancient Moon Dynasty? Something must have gone wrong.
There were many rivers and lakes at the Ancient Moon Dynasty. There was no desert.
Therefore, something must have gone wrong. Either Hu He made a mistake or someone altered the divine pattern after they entered the spatial gate.
Hu He could not have made a mistake on such an important matter. He had always been cautious and would have checked it at least five times.
Then, there was only the second possibility — someone altered the divine pattern after they entered the spatial gate.
To alter the divine pattern, one must either bribe Hu He or kill Hu He and the others.
Either way, they were in big trouble. Yan Zu suspected that it was the Holy Maiden Sect who teleported them here and then killed them.
Yan Zu told Lu Li his speculation and then said, "Lu Li, you go first. I will stay here for a while. I think this place is probably the Endless Desert. You can reach the Yan Mo Dynasty by flying to the north.
The Yan Mo Sect is on good terms with the Heaven Emperor Sect. You can go to the Yan Mo Sect and ask them to send a message back to the Heaven Emperor Sect. Or, you can ask someone from the Yan Mo Sect to open the spatial gate for you and send you back.
Let's go. It's very likely that someone will catch up. "
Lu Li bit his lips but didn't waste more time. He cupped his fists and said, "I will remember Hu Family's kindness!"
Yan Zu nodded, pleased. Lu Li put Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong into the Heaven Separation Bead. Then, he wanted to draw a formation in the void and fly away.
However, the formation he drew collapsed. There seemed to be something wrong with the space here. He could not fly.
"Don't even think about using spatial skills!"
Yan Zu explained, "The space here is very unstable. Fly as fast as you can and don't leave any traces. Let's go!"
Lu Li nodded. He didn't use the Dragon Transformation because he would be too weak to pass out after a while.
He used his source energy to heal his legs. He leaped up and flew toward the north like an arrow.
"I hope Lu Li can make it back. My sacrifice is meaningful!"
Yan Zu sighed slightly. His lifespan was not very long, and he would be satisfied if he could make some contributions to the Hu family.
He was afraid that Lu Li would not be able to escape in the end. If that were to happen, his sacrifice would be in vain.
Qin Wentian retrieved some formation stones and started to rapidly set them up in the surroundings. He had lived for a very long time, over 200,000 years of age. Since he couldn't break through to the next realm, he would naturally spend his time researching Divine Inscriptions.
He knew some powerful runes and he planned to set them up. In this way, he could last longer and give Lu Li a chance to escape.
"Go!"
He also released a Spirit Beast. The smell of the Spirit Beast was especially strong. He let the Spirit Beast quickly run towards the southwest. This way, he could leave some traces and hope to mislead the enemy.
"Buzz!"
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, a space gate slowly opened in midair, and Yan Zu revealed an expression of "as expected".
He raised his hand and slapped out, directly shattering the Domain Gate.
After that, he instantly activated his Divine Imprints, causing a dense black fog to rise up in the surroundings, enveloping him within. Waves of killing intent gushed forth from the black fog.
"Boom ~"
In midair, the space where the Domain Gate was at cracked open. Three people rushed out from the cracked space. The three of them were in a sorry state. Their robes were torn and one of them was covered in blood. His hair was disheveled, making him look like a ghost.
The three of them were Lunatic Tu, Wooden Taoist and Emperor Yan. The three of them were powerful. They were not seriously injured by the collapse of the Domain Gate.
When they came out, they saw the thick black fog down there. The three of them sneered. Lunatic Tu said, "Hu Yan, stop struggling. Hand over Lu Li and we will let you die in one piece."
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Yan Zu's laughter came out from the black fog. He said, "I was wondering who it was.
It is Lunatic Tu, Wooden Taoist and Yan Shiqi?
How bold of you. Aren't you afraid that your plan will be exposed? When the Heaven Emperor Sect is enraged, you will not be able to escape death. "
"Hmm!"
Lunatic Tu sneered and said, "You said that our plan will be exposed. But what if we don't?
If you are all dead, who will know that we did it?
We will grind your bones into ashes. Who will know that you died here? "
"Have you forgotten that the Heaven Emperor Sect has a Saint Emperor who knows divination?"
Yan Zu continued. It was always better to buy some time. When Lu Li used his origin energy, he was not slow.
The more time he could buy, the more chances Lu Li would have to survive.
"You are talking about Emperor of Feather, right?"
Lunatic Tu said with a sneer, "But you seem to have forgotten where you are.
This is an endless desert. There are naturally powerful formations here. Not even Emperor of Feather can divine any secrets from this land.
Why do you think we are doing this?
If it were not for the fact that we are afraid of being exposed, do you think you could have escaped from the Eastern Cloud Dynasty to here? "
"Don't waste your breath." Wooden Taoist pouted and said, "Let's do it in case something unexpected happens!"
With that said, Wooden Taoist was the first to take action. Emperor Yan followed him and Lunatic Tu took out an iron ruler. The three of them struck at the thick fog down there.
Beams of golden light scattered, and waves of multicolored light soared into the sky. The black fog rolled, the earth trembled, and the space cracked.
Shockwaves from the attacks of the emperors spread to an area with a radius of more than three thousand miles. Fortunately, this was a desert. Nobody lived here and nobody was nearby. Otherwise, people would be frightened.
"Um …"
Lu Li had flown far away, but he had been activating the Trace of Great Path. After the three of them made their moves, Lu Li still sensed something unusual in the sky to the south. The tremors were violent.
He had flown for at least tens of millions of miles. It was not hard to imagine how fierce the attacks were if the space tremors could reach him from such a distance.
To be able to create such a huge commotion, only a powerful Emperor-ranked expert could do it.
Yan Zu was doomed!
Lu Li sighed to himself. He owed Yan Zu a huge favor. He did not know how to return the favor.
To help him, the Hu Family lost a powerful warrior of the Emperor Realm. This was a great favor.
What was more!
Lu Li did not plan to stay in the Endless Ruins. If he could stay here, he would have the chance to become a high-level leader of the Heaven Emperor Sect. By then, he could help the Hu Family.
If he could find the way back to the Third Heaven and bring Lu Li and Linglong back, he might not have the chance to come back to the Endless Ruins.
By then, he would owe the Hu Family a favor, which would make him feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"Punk, why are you thinking so much at a time like this?"
Blood Evil Emperor's voice sounded in Lu Li's mind. Blood Evil Emperor scolded, "Go. If you die, the Hu Family's emperor will have died in vain.
Fly as fast as you can. I will use my remaining soul energy to erase your traces and qi or else you will not be able to get away. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li looked back and then used some strands of origin energy to fly as fast as he could.
