Everything had a cause and effect. It would not happen for no reason. There must be a reason for the beasts and Immortal Beasts to go on a rampage. It was just that Lu Li could not figure it out. He was not in the mood to find out, either.
With Zixi leading the way, no beasts or Immortal Beasts could pose a threat. Immortal Beasts at the Eastern Region were unlikely.
Immortal Beasts of this level were rare. There were only a few in the entire Immortal Region and one of them had become the King of the Eastern Region.
After more than two months, they had successfully passed through the area where beasts and Immortal Beasts roamed. Lu Li looked at the map and smiled.
They were not far away from the City of Mystic Armor. If everything went well, they would arrive in three or four months.
They were about to arrive at the core area of the Eastern Region. It should be less chaotic here.
After all, they were close to the area where the King of the Eastern Region lived.
Lu Li prayed to himself that they would not encounter any more chaos. He did not want to be hunted down by powerful warriors that were infinitely close to the Immortal Beasts at the Eastern Region.
Therefore, he kept a low profile. He did not dare to enter any of the cities along the way. He would not go near any mountains, ridges, rivers or abysses.
He knew very well that the more dangerous a place was, the more likely it was for an old demon to hide.
This was especially true for places with rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. He had long since avoided those places.
The hiding places of supreme experts were definitely places with dense Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, or dark and terrifying places. They wouldn't bother hiding in ordinary small mountain ranges, so they wouldn't be interested at all.
With this in mind, Lu Li's journey had been smooth. He had run into some warriors, some beasts and some Immortal Beasts, but nothing dangerous had happened to him.
Another two months later, they were very close to the City of Mystic Armor. Lu Li encountered another crisis.
He passed by a small lake. He thought that there was nothing in the lake, but when he flew over the lake, the water below suddenly swept up.
"Immortal Beasts!"
Lu Li was surprised. He felt he was entangled by the water. The water turned into vines, trying to entangle him and pull him down.
He checked with psychic power and found a whirlpool at the bottom of the lake. There was strong energy of beasts in the whirlpool.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li did not take the risk. He dashed into the Land of Dharma and used the Trace of Dao to check outside. He saw more than a dozen tentacles in the swirl and those tentacles had eyes, more than a dozen pairs of eyes.
The tentacle searched around for a while. Then, billowing green fog came out from the tentacle and enveloped the entire lake. The water in the lake tumbled and formed many small beasts that flew around, looking for Lu Li.
"This immortal beast is very intelligent!"
Lu Li was secretly surprised, but he was not in a hurry. Anyway, he would stay in there until the immortal beasts completely stopped.
This immortal beast was very patient. After a long time, it finally disappeared. The whirlpool at the bottom of the lake also disappeared, and the immortal beast disappeared without a trace.
Still, Lu Li didn't move. After another half a day, he came out and went into stealth mode. He flew to the distance quickly.
"Whoosh ~"
As soon as Lu Li came out, the water in the lake surged up. Then the tentacle reached out as well and tried to entangle Lu Li.
Lu Li made up his mind and released the Swift Skill. He sped up and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
"Buzzing!"
The tentacle disappeared. But the water in the lake formed into a strange figure in midair, a bit blurry. Looking at where Lu Li disappeared to, the figure sighed and said, "This human is weak but he has such a strange skill. It is a pity that I didn't catch him or he would be a great tonic …"
Since Lu Li had already used the Swift Skill, he would not stop. He used the trace of Dao to sense his surroundings. At the same time, he used the Skill of Transfiguration to disguise himself as a powerful warrior that was close to the consummate realm.
Of course, he didn't fly in the sky. He flew close to the ground.
It was a smooth journey. Lu Li had been on for an hour and he couldn't tell how far he had traveled. He stopped when he realized he was not far away from the City of Mystic Armor. There were more warriors and scouts here.
He went into the Realm of Magic to rest. He was excited. He was about to arrive at the City of Mystic Armor. He hoped Lu Xiaobai wouldn't run around.
Lu Li came out after a day's rest in the Realm of Magic. He hurried toward the City of Mystic Armor.
There were many scouts and warriors of all races nearby. Lu Li avoided them carefully. He just wanted to sneak into the city and find Lu Xiaobai.
He used the Stealth Skill so the average scouts couldn't find him. He moved forward with ease. In half a day, he was standing near the City of Mystic Armor.
"Phew, phew!"
He let out a long sigh. He stood on top of a small mountain and looked at the huge city from afar. His face was filled with gratification.
From the Chaotic Star Region to the Southern Region, across the Southern Region and then across the Eastern Region, he had gone through a lot of hardships and narrowly escaped with his life.
If he didn't have the Realm of Magic, the Stealth Skill and the Swift Skill, he wouldn't have made it this far. He wouldn't even be able to cross the Southern Region, let alone the Eastern Region.
Fortunately, all the hardships were over. Finally, he was standing outside the City of Mystic Armor. He was about to see Lu Xiaobai. If it was Lu Xiaobai, then his trip would be a success. He wouldn't have to worry about the way back.
He was the son of the King of the Eastern Region. It would be easy for him to go back to the Chaotic Star Region.
"Buzzing!"
Lu Li's Interspatial Artifact glowed as he let the Ghost Taoist out. Between his eyebrows glowed as Lu Li returned the Ghost Taoist's seal of soul.
The Ghost Taoist accepted the seal of soul. He was delighted. It was good to be free again.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li's Interspatial Ring glowed as he took out five top-level herbs he got from the Tomb of Yan King. He handed them over and said, "Ghost Taoist, you have lost many Corpse Kings along the way. These are your compensation.
Okay … I have arrived at the City of Mystic Armor. I will give you back your freedom. You can go wherever you want. "
"These herbs …"
The Ghost Taoist glanced at them, and his face was immediately filled with shock. He had lived for so many years, and he could be considered to have seen many things, but he had never seen such old super divine medicines. These five divine medicines could be said to be priceless.
"Thank you, master!"
Out of habit, the Ghost Taoist addressed Lu Li as master. Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go now."
"Thank you … Lord!"
The Ghost Taoist bowed. In the Immortal Region, the Ghost Taoist had seen too many treachery and ghosts. But it was the first time that he had seen Lu Li keep his word. Lu Li was like a clear stream.
The Ghost Taoist dared not to stay any longer. What if Lu Li changed his mind?
The Ghost Taoist vanished into the distance.
Lu Li used psychic power to check the Interspatial Artifact. Zixi was still in a deep sleep. It would be several months before she could wake up.
He thought for a while and then changed his appearance. He disguised himself as a middle stage Saint King and walked toward the gate of the City of Mystic Armor. There was a team of warriors at the gate. All of them were Saint King Realm warriors.
Lu Li was stopped at the gate. The guards asked Lu Li for a token. How could Lu Li have one?
He smiled and said he wanted to buy a token with celestial stones. One of the warriors waved his hand and said, "You cannot buy tokens. You cannot enter without a token. Go away … or else, don't blame us for being rude!"
"Eh …"
Lu Li was surprised. If he could not buy tokens with celestial stones, then how would the tokens be distributed?
He had come such a long way and could not even enter the City of Mystic Armor. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
