The demon didn't dare to run anymore. He knew that Lu Li could kill him in a second. If he dared to run, he would be killed in an instant.
Lu Li patted An Luer's back and she stood up. The demon knelt down as Lu Li did. Lu Li said coldly, "Tell me. Why are you playing tricks here?"
The old fiend's eyes flickered and he explained in a low voice, "Replying to Great Emperor, this old man cultivates here all year round and can't go anywhere else. Therefore, I don't wish for anyone to disturb this place. Therefore, every time someone comes here, I scare them away.
This time, I don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I have offended you. Please forgive me. "
"Cut the crap!"
Lu Li snorted and said, "Do you really think I am that easy to fool?
What is under the ruins? "
The demon's pupils contracted. Soon, he calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Buzzing!"
A golden glare flickered in Lu Li's eyes. Thousands of soul energy shot out and gathered in the demon's mind. They turned into many powerful soul needles and pierced into the demon's soul.
The demon's soul was protected by an Enchanted Soul but it was not of a high level. Lu Li broke through the defense at once. The demon hugged his head and rolled around on the ground.
"Ah, ah, your Majesty, spare me, spare me!"
The demon's soul was hurt. He was smoking from the pain. He rolled around on the ground, howling and wailing. His face was twisted in pain.
An Luer, who was standing next to him, felt sorry for him. She turned her head away.
"Don't turn away. Watch carefully!"
Lu Li looked at An Luer coldly and said, "You must be cruel to your enemies. Otherwise, you won't even know how you die. Many people in the world will take advantage of your kindness. If you don't understand the situation, you will die a miserable death."
An Luer was stunned. She turned around and watched Lu Li torturing the demon. The demon had been begging for mercy, but Lu Li had no intention of stopping. He didn't stop until he tortured the demon for an hour.
Lu Li looked at the demon with a smile and said, "Now, can you be honest?
If you don't speak, the next attack will probably make you stay here forever. "
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
The old demon weakly said: "There is an underground palace below with a total of nine floors. I have cracked the first eight floors, but I haven't cracked the last one yet. This demon is the tomb guardian beast of the eighth floor. It has been subdued by me."
"At least you're honest!"
Lu Li sneered. When the underground creature came out, Lu Li had sensed the fluctuation of Divine Runes underground. Since the underground creature came out from underground, it must have been hiding underground.
The energy of that underground creature was strong. If it were not for the protection of the Divine Pattern, Lu Li would have sensed it.
"Lead the way!"
Lu Li waved his hand and held An Luer's hand. The old demon hurriedly took Lu Li into the hole that the underground creatures had emerged from.
On the other hand, Lu Li sent Blood Fairy to explore the way. With Blood Fairy around, no runes could trap him.
Lu Li felt the Divine Patterns after he went underground for three thousand miles.
He was in no hurry to enter. Instead, he waited for Blood Fairy to send him a message.
A moment later, Blood Fairy replied, "Master, come down. There is a hall here. Many Divine Patterns have been cracked. It is safe."
Lu Li rushed into the hall with An Luer. Fearing that An Luer would be frightened, Lu Li took out a luminous pearl to light up the surroundings.
This hall was very luxurious, and it was very likely that it was built by that Saint Emperor. However, many places had been destroyed, and there were even large holes in some of the walls.
All the treasures in the hall had been taken away. Lu Li was not particularly thirsty for treasures now. It was the first time for An Luer to come to such a place. She looked around with curiosity.
Lu Li held An Luer's hand and walked inside. The old demon led the way in front of them obediently. Inside the hall, they saw a door and a stone staircase leading down.
The old demon led Lu Li down. There were many levels here. Each level had an inner hall, an outer hall, and a side hall. But there were no treasures here. The old demon must have taken them away.
They went to the eighth level. They could see some things in the hall. The old demon must be living on this level. The old demon led Lu Li into the inner hall. Pointing to the staircase, the old demon said, "Emperor, I have been deciphering the Divine Patterns here for thirty years and I have not been able to crack them. I do not know what is in there."
Blood Fairy had been here for a while and she had been investigating. Lu Li walked around and observed, waiting for Blood Fairy to crack the Divine Patterns.
The Divine Patterns here were strong. But Lu Li believed that Blood Fairy could crack them.
Even if the Divine Patterns here were built by Saint Emperor, it had been over a million years. The Divine Patterns must have weakened. Blood Fairy should be able to crack them.
He was right!
After half an hour, Blood Fairy said, "Master, the Divine Inscriptions here are very strong, but I can still decipher them. But I need time, about half a month."
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded. Looking at An Luer, he said, "Let's go up and come back in half a month.
Demon, you come with me. Stay here for half a month. "
An Luer would not doubt Lu Li's words. But the old demon was confused. Why did Lu Li ask him to go up for half a month?
Come back in half a month?
Could the Divine Patterns be cracked in half a month?
The old demon had been here for over a hundred years. He had been deciphering the Divine Patterns on the ninth level for thirty years. How could Lu Li crack them in half a month?
He didn't need to stay here in person?
Lu Li did not explain to the old demon. He went up with An Luer and told her to cultivate. Pointing to an abandoned palace, Lu Li said to the old demon, "Stay here. Don't disturb us and don't think about running away."
With that said, Lu Li began to cultivate and paid no more attention to the old demon. The old demon went to the abandoned palace, feeling wronged. He was afraid to go anywhere or make a sound.
He was nervous, not knowing how Lu Li would deal with him in the end.
Half a month went by in the blink of an eye. Blood Fairy came up from below and said, "Master, I've cracked it. The ninth floor is the tomb of an expert, but there's a powerful Devil Soul guarding it. I don't dare go down."
"The tomb of a powerful warrior?"
Lu Li was delighted. Could it be the tomb of that Saint Emperor?
Then there must be Holy Weapons down there. He didn't expect to find such a pleasant surprise in this place.
"An Luer!"
Lu Li stood up at once. He told An Luer something and put her into the Separation Bead. Then, he slapped at the old demon with source energy.
"Ah?
Mercy, Your Majesty! "
The old demon yelled in fear. Lu Li did not show any mercy. Leaving the old demon alive would be a source of trouble. Lu Li was about to go to the ninth level and he did not want to be distracted. What if the old demon was up to something?
Therefore, before he went on the treasure hunt, he must kill the old demon to avoid future troubles.
"Boom!"
