In the next half a year, Lu Li went to several places and saw many strange sights.
For example, in a mountain, day and night were reversed. It was daytime outside, but it was night here. It was daytime outside.
Another example was a tribe where only girls were born. None of them had boys.
The tribe was strong. There were several warriors of the Sixth Tribulation. They kept hundreds of young men in captivity, all of whom were handsome and talented.
The young men could only stay in the tribe for three to five years. After that, the young men would leave. It was not because the tribe wanted to drive them away, but because they could not stand it anymore.
There were over ten thousand people in the tribe and thousands of young women. The men had little time to rest. What was more, they had no choice. Once the women of the tribe came, they must have sex …
Lu Li's arrival caused a sensation in the tribe. The leader of the tribe took out many treasures and elixirs, begging Lu Li to stay for a month.
Lu Li was not interested in being a stud horse and he could not impregnate women. Therefore, he left after checking several women and finding nothing wrong in the tribe.
Then, Lu Li went to a pond. It was said that the pond was evil. Women could get pregnant after bathing in the pond. Lu Li took a closer look and realized that it was the work of an old demon …
Lu Li went to several more places. In some places, he could see through and in others, he could not. He had a vague feeling, but it was not very clear. Therefore, he had to move on.
He had arrived at the Zi Yang Land. There were more than a dozen strange places here and Lu Li wanted to check them all.
The southern and southern battlefields were stable so he didn't have to worry about them for now.
"Buzzing ~"
He teleported several times and stopped at a small city.
He heard the people nearby talking about a strange thing. They said that many tribes in the area were haunted at night. The evil spirits would dig out people's hearts and drink their blood. Many people had died, and those who died were all old men.
Lu Li had seen ghosts before. There were so many tribes nearby. Lu Li decided to go and have a look. If there were any ghosts with remnant souls, he could shatter them. It would be a good deed.
He sat in the city for the entire afternoon and went over at night. The ghosts only came out at night.
At this moment, he was disguised as an ordinary young warrior. He walked alone in the wilderness. Tonight, the night was especially dark, and the wind was blowing, giving people a very scary feeling.
Lu Li wandered around the wilderness on his own, focusing on the nearby tribes. In the middle of the night, he found the ghost in a village.
"Woo, woo, woo ~"
Chilly wind blew across the entire village. Lu Li used psychic power to check. People in the village were scared out of their wits. Many were huddled in corners, shivering. Some were kowtowing to the statues of Buddha or Immortal Tianzui.
There were no experts in this village. The strongest was a peak third tribulation warrior. Most of them were first and second tribulation warriors. They were considered commoners.
Lu Li scanned with psychic power and found the ghost easily. It was indeed an remnant soul. It was controlling an old man to run out of the village. The old man was only a warrior who had undergone the Second Tribulation. The remnant soul was powerful and the old man could not fight back. He ran toward the north obediently.
After the old man ran for dozens of miles, the chilly wind in the village disappeared. Many people were relieved. The villagers started to gather with gongs and drums. Soon, some people began to cry. Someone realized that the old man was missing.
In the past, when someone went missing, they would be found dead in the wild days later with their hearts dug out.
Lu Li didn't disperse the remnant soul at once. He followed it slowly. He wanted to see what the remnant soul was going to do.
Where was it controlling the old man to go?
The old man ran for thousands of miles and entered a mountain. There was a formation of illusion in the mountain. Of course, Lu Li didn't feel any pressure.
He didn't even need to trigger the formation of illusion. He could get in easily.
He didn't use psychic power. Instead, he used the trace of Dao to sense. He found an old temple in the mountain. There was a little beggar in the temple who was only seven or eight years old.
The old man went to the old temple. Instead of being scared, the child looked at the old man pitifully and said, "Great-grandpa, I don't want to eat it. I don't want to drink human blood anymore. Please, Great-grandpa."
"No!"
The old man controlled by the remnant soul said, "Lu-er, listen to Great-grandpa. Dig out the heart and eat it. This is an order!"
The little beggar was a girl. She took out a dagger and was in pain. She begged again, "Great-grandpa, I really don't want to eat it. I don't want to eat it, okay?"
"An Lu-er!"
The old man said in a tone that brooked no refusal, "Have you forgotten who you are? Have you forgotten your mission?
Have you forgotten how your parents and people died?
Dig out the heart and eat it, now! "
The little beggar girl stood up. Her hand trembled. In the end, she closed her eyes and stabbed at the old man's chest.
But this time, she didn't stab in. Instead, she felt she was grabbed by a strong hand.
Lu Li dashed out like a ghost. He could not bear to see this anymore. This remnant soul was insane.
It was forcing a child to eat human hearts and drink human blood. This remnant soul was more evil than creatures from the Abyssal Domain.
"Eh?"
That remnant soul flew out and then turned into a ghost. It reached toward Lu Li with its claws and fangs, trying to kill him.
The old man controlled by the remnant soul had passed out or else he would have been scared to death.
"Hmm!"
Lu Li snorted. He released the might of an emperor which pressed down like a mountain. That remnant soul was not strong. It should have been at the sixth tribulation before it died. Lu Li immobilized it at once.
"Demons and monsters, go to hell!"
Lu Li's hand glowed with Origin Energy. He was about to shatter the remnant soul when the female beggar suddenly knelt down, dropped the dagger on her arm, grabbed Lu Li's pants with her dirty hand and said, "Uncle, don't kill my great-grandpa. It is all my fault. If you want to kill someone, kill me."
Lu Li looked down and saw tears in the little beggar's eyes. Her face was dirty but her eyes were bright like two pools of water.
Lu Li's heart softened seeing how pitiful the little girl was. He stopped his attack and said, "Your Great-grandpa forced you to eat human hearts and drink human blood. Why are you protecting him?
Do you know how many innocent lives he has killed?
His cruelty and evil cannot be tolerated by nature. "
"Lord!"
The remnant soul gave up on fighting back after knowing that Lu Li was at the Emperor Realm. He said, "Lord, I had no other choice …"
"Shut up. Did I allow you to talk?"
Lu Li threw him a cold glance. The remnant soul was frightened by his sharp eyes. He dared not to say another word.
The little girl kowtowed to Lu Li three more times and said while crying, "Uncle, please don't be angry. It is not my fault. It is all my fault.
I have a blood feud and I have a strange disease. I have to drink human blood and eat human hearts to suppress it.
Now, all of us are dead. My forefather had to harm people in order to keep me alive … "
The little beggar girl was only seven or eight years old. She could not lie at this age. Also, her pearl-like eyes did not seem to be lying. Lu Li felt a bit better.
