Lu Li left after five days. He left in the middle of the night. He didn't wake Liu Yi or say goodbye.
He only left a handwritten letter. Of course, he still bid farewell to Ye Jie and the others and told them some things.
Apart from the Liu Family, Yu Family and the Bai Family, Lu Li also told Ye Cha to send someone to the Cyan Plains to investigate when he had the time.
Find out about Lu Ling and bring her back if there was a chance or tell her that she had gone to the Central Plains.
He left behind a portrait of Lu Ling and told them not to force themselves if there was no chance to save her.
Ghost Snake Granny of the Palace of Goddess was powerful. Yu Huashen believed that she should be at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm.
Ghost Snake Granny was the second most powerful person in the Palace of Goddess, so the Palace Master was probably the Human Sovereign.
Therefore, Lu Li told Ye Cha not to push himself. That was why he didn't go to the Cyan Plains first.
Lu Ling should be safe at the Palace of Goddess. Filial piety was the most important of all practices. He chose to go to the Lu Family first.
If Lu Ling knew that he had the ability to go to the Cyan Plains instead of the Lu Family, she would blame him as well.
Furthermore …
After returning to the Lu Family and acknowledging their ancestors, the Lu Family would immediately dispatch experts to the Ice Abyss.
Powerful warriors would also be sent to the Palace of Goddess to bring Lu Ling back. This was the best of both worlds.
Lu Li also bid farewell to Hunchback Tian and asked Ye Cha to get rid of the Soul Worms.
Hunchback Tian sincerely stayed in the Liu Family. He knew that the Liu Family could soar in the future because Ye Jie had the Heaven Serpent Fruit.
Lu Li, Yu Huashen and Ming Yu left the God-down Island quietly. They went to the Dragon Elephant Mountain at the Blood Evil Island to pay their respects to his grandpa and sixth granduncle. Then they took the Iron-armored Ship to the Heaven Martial Kingdom.
Lu Li chose to teleport to the Northern Desert from the Heaven Martial Kingdom because the Zi Family was friendly to him. Also, Yu Huashen had to go back and make some arrangements.
Of course, there was one more thing Lu Li didn't do. He had to kill the Bu Family Patriarch.
In order to curry favor with the Yu Family, the head of the Bu Family had dug up his maternal grandfather's grave and killed his sixth great uncle. If he didn't take the head of the Bu Family, he wouldn't feel comfortable.
The Iron-armored Ship activated its Inhibition Formation. There was no sound of wind outside, and nobody could see what was happening on the Iron-armored Ship.
Lu Li was cultivating in the cabin with his legs crossed. Ming Yu sat next to him and Yu Huashen was controlling the Iron-armored Ship.
The Iron-armored Ship was fast. It arrived at the Wu Ling County at dawn the next day.
The reason why he came to the Wu Ling County was Lu Li's idea. He wanted to go to the Ice Abyss.
"Go!"
He informed Ming Yu and the two of them flew down towards the Ice Abyss.
Yu Huashen didn't go. Instead, he sent messages to the Yu Family to make arrangements to capture the Bu Family Patriarch.
Ming Yu carried Lu Li and ran like crazy. In just an hour, they arrived at the Frigid Cloud Mountain.
Standing on the peak of the Frigid Cloud Mountain, Lu Li exclaimed.
One and a half years ago, he was carrying coffins nearby, being chased by Iron Spur Wolves in the Frigid Cloud Valley and Zhao Rui in the Frigid Cloud Mountain. Now, he had become the leader of the most powerful force in the Northern Desert …
Ming Yu did not bring Lu Li closer to the Ice Abyss. Even though a Beast King was killed there, there were other Beast Kings.
Furthermore, there was no difference between getting close to the Ice Abyss and not getting close at all. Nobody in the Northern Desert dared to enter the Abyss.
Average warriors would die if they went in. Not even Lu Renhuang could come out …
"Father, mother!"
Lu Li looked to the north and said casually, "I am about to go to the Central Plains. Hold on for a bit longer. I will get to the Mystic Armor Region as soon as possible and find powerful warriors of the Lu Family to rescue you.
The Lu Family is an Eighth-rank Family. They will be able to get you out. "
"Um … something is not right!"
Lu Li suddenly remembered something. He turned to Ming Yu and asked, "Ming Yu, three warriors of the Soul Pond Realm belong to a Third-rank Family, three warriors of the Eternal Realm belong to a Fifth-rank Family, and three warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm belong to a Seventh-rank Family.
What do the Eighth-rank Families have?
30 Human Sovereign Realm? "
"I don't know …"
Ming Yu shook his head and said, "The Northern Desert is a small place. It is hard for there to be a Human Sovereign Realm warrior. I don't know the details. I will find out when I get to the Central Plains."
"Oh, I see!"
Lu Li looked to the north again, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Yu Emperor City and then the Heaven Martial City."
Ming Yu brought Lu Li back. Yu Huashen had already come back. He boarded the Iron-armored Ship in the wild and activated the Inhibition Formation to fly.
This time, they didn't take the Iron-armored Ship to the Yu Emperor City. After all, it was too far away.
Yu Huashen flew the ship to a nearby region city and then went to the Teleportation Formation directly to the Yu Emperor City.
Lu Li didn't see anyone of the Yu Family when he arrived at the Yu Emperor City. He asked Yu Huashen to take him to a side chamber to rest and let him deal with his own affairs.
After dark, Yu Huashen came back with a warrior.
Lu Li nodded to him. Yu Huashen was efficient. The Family Patriarch of the Bu Family was captured.
Lu Li didn't even bother to kill a warrior of the Fate Wheel Realm. He waved his hand to take Yu Huashen out and killed him.
Yu Huashen went out again. Lu Li and Ming Yu stayed at the Yu Emperor City for a night. At daybreak, Yu Huashen had taken care of everything.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li didn't want to stay at the Yu Emperor City for too long. After all, the Family Patriarch of the Yu Family was his slave.
He brought them to the Teleportation Formation and teleported to the Heaven Martial City.
There were more people outside the Teleportation Formation when they arrived at the Heaven Martial City.
Yu Huashen must have sent a message to the Zi Family. The Chief Patriarch of the Zi Family, Zi Huanyu and Zi Lian, came to greet them with a group of people.
"Welcome, Young Master Lu!"
Zi Huanyu was enthusiastic. After some small talk, he took Lu Li's hand and walked to the Zi Family compound. He said kindly, "My Family Patriarch is waiting inside. He has been wanting to meet you."
Lu Li wanted to leave right away but he had no other choice. He had to follow Zi Huanyu and Zi Lian inside.
After entering the courtyard of the Zi Clan, they arrived outside a large hall. A handsome middle-aged man in a yellow robe with an extraordinary bearing was waiting here with another group of people.
"He is the Family Patriarch of the Zi Family, Zi Huanqiao!"
Yu Huashen introduced Zi Huanqiao to Lu Li. Lu Li looked at the smiling middle-aged man and exclaimed.
Back in the days, he and Lu Ling dreamed of joining the Zi Family so that they could take the super Teleportation Formation to the Central Plains.
But back then, the Zi Family was like an immortal sect to the two siblings. They didn't even have the right to step into the Heaven Martial City, let alone join the Zi Family.
Now, he walked into the Zi Family compound openly. The Family Patriarch of the Zi Family, the King of the Heaven Martial Kingdom, was here to greet him in person.
Lu Li knew how to behave himself since he was given face. He sped up to Zi Huanqiao, bowed and said, "Greetings, King Zi."
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Zi Huanqiao laughed. He helped Lu Li up with his strong hands and said, "Young Master Lu, I have heard about you for a long time. My little Lian has been talking about you ever since she came back from the Tomb of the Dragon King.
Today, I can see that you are a young hero, a dragon among men. "
Lu Li looked to Zi Lian out of instinct who happened to be looking at him. As soon as they made eye contact, Zi Lian's cheeks blushed and she lowered her head shyly.
The feelings of a young girl were like poems and the feelings of a married woman were like tears.
The shyness of a young girl and the charm of a married woman were both weapons of murder.
Lu Li's heart skipped a beat. He looked away, cleared his throat, and said in embarrassment, "You flatter me, Monarch Zi. I am young and ignorant, and I am not powerful enough. I have much to learn from a hero like Monarch Zi."
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Zi Huanqiao laughed again. His laughter was heroic and powerful. A man that could become a king was extraordinary indeed.
He looked at Zi Lian lovingly. Suddenly, he sighed and said, "Young Master Lu, I heard that you are leaving the Northern Desert?
My little girl has been depressed recently. She doesn't want to eat or drink. She hasn't even smiled.
Today, as soon as you came, she hopped around like a rabbit, restless.
Alas … a grown girl cannot be kept at home. How about you let her go to the Central Plains with you? She can gain experience and see the world. "
"Eh..."
