There were many patriarchs in the Qi Family but not many honorary patriarchs. One of the former honorary patriarchs had passed away. The only one left was Lu Li.
Furthermore, Linglong said that she and Qi Dingdong were old friends?
Most importantly, there were too few women who could cultivate to such a level. There were only a handful of them in the entire Third Heaven. Therefore, Hall Leader Zhao was able to guess the identities of these three people.
Since he had been guessed, Lu Li didn't need to hide anymore. He took off his mask and said, "Clan Leader Zhao, you are right. I am Lu Li.
However, our identities are now a secret, so I hope you won't leak it.
I will explain this matter to the Qi Family Patriarch later. Can you teleport us to the Chilly Winter Continent and the Northern Plains Continent now? "
"Sure!"
Although Hall Master Zhao had countless doubts in his heart, he knew that there were some things that he couldn't ask about. He knew the rules very well, so he respectfully said, "Elder Lu and the two of you, please wait for a moment. I'll go make the arrangements.
Elder Lu and Miss Ling are going to the Chilly Winter Continent, right?
Is Miss Ling Long going to Northern Plains Continent or back to Spatial City? "
"You can return to Dimensional City?
That would be for the best! "
Xiang Linglong was overjoyed. The Spatial City was very close to the Xiang Family. She had thought that she could only go to the Northern Plains Continent. Now that she could go to the Spatial City, there was nothing more to say.
Grand Master Zhao left to make arrangements. Xiang Linglong looked at Lu Li, wanting to say something but stopped on second thought.
Lu Li replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Linglong. Go home and have a good rest. When I am done here, I will go to the Xiang Family to propose marriage."
Xiang Linglong blushed. Next to her, Lu Ling teased, "What are you two talking about in secret?
Do you want me to excuse myself for a while? "
"Hehe!"
Lu Li forced a smile. Xiang Linglong blushed even more. The three of them stopped cultivating and chatted and rested in the hall.
After some discussion, Lu Li and Lu Ling decided to go to the Chilly Winter Land first and then ask the Qi Family to arrange for them to go to the Zi Yang Land. They would go back to the Second Heaven first.
Especially Lu Ling. It had been years since she last saw him. She missed him.
Even though Lu Renhuang was not her biological father, she only had one father in her heart, and that was Lu Renhuang.
After waiting for a long time, Pavilion Master Zhao finally returned and said that he had made the necessary arrangements.
They were supposed to teleport a group of people today, but they were delayed by Grand Master Zhao. Lu Li's business was more important than these people.
Lu Li thought about it and added, "Send a message back to the Qi Family. Just say — I am back. I will go and see the Reincarnation Emperor after I deal with some matters."
"Alright!"
Clan Leader Zhao nodded. Then they went into a castle together. Lu Li and Lu Ling saw Xiang Linglong off first.
There was a Space Gate in the castle. It was relatively small and should be used by distinguished guests.
"Lu Li, I am leaving!"
Xiang Linglong took Lu Li's hands and said, "I will wait for you at the Xiang Family. If you don't come, I will go to the Chilly Winter Land to find you."
"No!"
Lu Li replied, "I may go back to the Second Heaven after I go to the Chilly Winter Land. Don't worry. I will go to the Frigid Sea as soon as I am done with my business. It will be three years at most!"
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Lu Li nodded and Xiang Linglong stepped into the portal.
When the Interspatial Portal stopped glowing, Lu Li and Lu Ling went to another castle and stepped into another Interspatial Portal.
This one was larger. It was used to teleport warriors to the Chilly Winter Land and the Demon Abyss warriors, the Chilly Smoke City, a city at the rear of the battlefield.
The Chilly Smoke City was an imperial city, controlled by the Emperor Zheng Family, one of the three emperors of the Chilly Winter Land.
The Chilly Smoke City had become the base camp at the rear of the battlefield. All the powerful warriors that came as reinforcements were stationed here.
"Clan Leader Zhao, remember!"
Before he left, Lu Li said, "Only the Qi Family Patriarch can know about me. Don't tell anyone else."
"Don't worry, Patriarch!"
Clan Leader Zhao said with sincerity. Lu Li was a patriarch of the Lu Family, and Clan Leader Zhao wouldn't gossip about what Lu Li had done.
"Right, Patriarch!"
Clan Leader Zhao thought of something. He handed over a jade talisman and said, "This is an access token for the family. Take it. You won't be exposed when you get there. The Qi Family will give you access and cooperation."
Lu Li thanked Clan Leader Zhao and stepped into the Space Gate with Lu Ling. They felt they were going through a spatial tunnel. How long had it been?
After at least a few days, a Rainbow Space Gate finally appeared in front of him.
The two of them flew out in a flash and landed in a huge castle. There was a group of soldiers standing guard here.
They were surprised to see only two warriors.
"Sixth Tribulation?"
A Chief Steward of the Qi Family took a look and found out Lu Ling's realm. The Chief Steward bowed to her with respect. Lu Ling didn't say anything. She just looked at Lu Li.
"We are on the same side!"
Lu Li was wearing a mask so the warriors didn't know him. He showed the access token to the Chief Steward with a smile and asked, "Which clan do you belong to?
And this lady is …? "
"Secret mission!" Lu Li smiled mysteriously and said, "We have to go now. There is something urgent."
The Chief Steward didn't ask more questions. Lu Ling was so young but she had reached the Sixth Tribulation. She must be a big shot.
When a big shot came, it must be something important. It was not their place to meddle.
Lu Li and Lu Ling sneaked out of the Qi Family's castle and into the city.
They didn't wander around randomly. They went to the largest tavern and booked a room. Then, they called over a waiter to ask about the Chilly Winter Land.
As long as they had divine stones, it was easy to get some information.
The Chilly Winter Land had been quiet recently. Several powerful Great Emperor Realm warriors were here. The Abyss of Demons didn't launch any large-scale attacks. Therefore, it was relatively peaceful.
The waiter talked incessantly about several young warriors who were in the limelight recently. The most outstanding warrior here was Zhu Fan, the descendant of Emperor Candle Heaven.
There was another young lady, the descendant of a reclusive Great Emperor. Her name was An Yuan.
Dong Yeying had disappeared. Zhu Fan became the second on the list and this An Yuan became the third. The first was still John Doe, but he was at the Northern Plains.
"Right!"
The waiter added, "Recently, there is a top talent at the Chilly Winter Land. She is a young lady of the Yin Family. Her name is Yin Qingsi. She has reached the Sixth Tribulation at a young age and ranks 16th on the list."
Lu Li's eyes glowed. Had the Blind Yin Qingsi come out from cultivation?
She had reached the Sixth Tribulation directly. She must be very talented.
"But …"
The waiter remembered something and reminded them, "Don't go to the Yin Family for now. The Cang Family and the Yin Family are at war. Their affiliated families are involved. It is a mess. You will be in danger if you go there."
"War?"
A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li's eyes. He and Lu Ling looked at each other. Both were confused — the Abyss of Demons was still invading and the human race was not over yet. How could they kill each other?
There were so many Great Emperor Realm warriors here. Why didn't they do something?
Lu Li asked but the waiter did not know the specific reason. He only heard people talking about it recently. He didn't know the specifics.
All he knew was that the war was fierce. Both sides had lost many people. It was said that the Yin Family lost three patriarchs at the Sixth Tribulation.
"Let's go!"
