A Saint King had disappeared right under the nose of a warrior at the absolute peak. Not even the leader of the Rhinoceros Ape Race would believe it, let alone when the news spread out.
He was only 30 miles away from Lu Li. He had been trying to sense the situation in the cave. He didn't see any strange movements in the force of heaven and earth, nor did he sense any ripple in space. Lu Li had disappeared without a trace.
In this universe, millions of races coexisted. Many of them had strange abilities. There were all kinds of strange things.
But what happened today was beyond the knowledge of the leader of the Rhinoceros Ape Race. He opened his eyes wide and used psychic power to check the surroundings. At the same time, he mobilized the force of heaven and earth to suppress an area with a radius of 300 miles.
However, Lu Li was still gone. He vanished without a trace as if he had evaporated from the world.
"Hoy!"
The leader of the Rhinoceros Ape Race could not believe what he had seen. He mobilized a large amount of force of heaven and earth, which whistled around the cave. The force of heaven and earth was condensed into javelins which flew around the cave, covering every corner.
The ice on the surface of the cave was shaved off piece by piece. The space in the cave was torn apart. Huge cracks appeared.
"No!"
The leader of the Rhinoceros Ape Race was taken aback. His eyes were filled with anger and regret. There must be many patriarchs and warriors outside waiting for his report.
He could not go out and say — he could have killed Lu Li easily, but the cunning Lu Li tricked him into escaping.
Who would believe that?
How could he say that?
The soldiers below would definitely suspect that he was a fake Paragon, right?
A warrior at the absolute peak had let a Saint King of the initial stage run away?
This must be the biggest joke in a million years.
The king of the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe felt his face burning. He started to attack furiously and crazily. The rocks outside the cave were all destroyed by him. Even the outermost part of the cave had collapsed. These were rocks that were even harder than supreme divine weapons.
"Hoy!"
He even took out his supreme weapon and blasted at the space nearby, including the entire valley. The slaves died one by one.
He attacked for a while in a rage. The Ice River Valley was almost destroyed by him.
If it were not for the fact that the Ice River Valley was an important land of resources, he would not have held back.
"Still nothing!"
An hour later, the Ice River Valley was in a mess. All the slaves were killed by the enraged Rhinoceros Ape Race master. The space nearby was torn apart again and again, but the Rhinoceros Ape Race master could not find Lu Li.
The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader's face was no longer filled with rage. Instead, it was replaced with shock and confusion.
He forced himself to calm down. Standing in midair, he closed his eyes and sensed carefully.
He tried to sense Lu Li's qi and see where Lu Li was. Just now, he had locked onto Lu Li so he knew Lu Li's qi and energy clearly.
Even though Lu Li had released the Traceless Path, he did not turn into nothingness or blend into heaven and earth. Therefore, there would still be traces left behind.
He closed his eyes and sensed for the time it took an incense stick to burn. Then, he opened his eyes and stared at the cave in the depths of the Ice River Valley.
He could sense that Lu Li's qi and energy eventually disappeared into the cave, where Lu Li was last seen.
"Xiu!"
He dashed into the cave again and tore apart the space where Lu Li stood again and again. Unfortunately, Lu Li was nowhere to be found.
The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader stopped after a while. He began to analyze.
A man could not disappear for no reason. Either he had teleported away or he was hiding.
The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader was sure that Lu Li did not teleport away. Teleportation would cause strong fluctuations in space. Teleportation was actually using cracks in space to travel quickly. The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader had control of the entire space nearby. If Lu Li had teleported away, the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader would have sensed it.
Then, Lu Li must be hiding. There were only two ways for him to do so. First, he could hide in space with camouflage so that warriors could not sense him.
Second, he could hide in cracks in space or in Sumeru Space.
Hiding in space was not possible. The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader used his power of space to suppress all living beings.
Hiding in cracks in space or in Sumeru Space was not possible either. The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader had torn apart space for so many times. If Lu Li were hiding in there, he would have been shaken out.
Therefore, the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader was confused. He did not know how Lu Li did it.
After a while, the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader began to set up the divine pattern. Either way, the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader had decided to seal off this place first. He believed that Lu Li did not run away and was hiding in the Ice Valley.
The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader began to set up divine patterns in the Ice Valley. He was a master of divine patterns. In an hour, he had finished setting up a powerful divine pattern.
"Buzzing ~"
The entire Ice River Valley was glowing. A huge shield came out and covered up the entire Ice River Valley.
Previously, Lu Li needed Blood Fairy to crack the formation before he could leave. After the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader set up this divine pattern, Lu Li would have to crack it if he wanted to leave. Once the divine pattern was cracked, the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader would know immediately.
After the first divine pattern, the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader was still worried. He began another one. This time, it was a more powerful one. Not even a master of divine patterns could crack it. The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader believed that it would take him several months to crack it.
The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader planned to trap Lu Li so that he could not escape.
This time, the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader spent five days before the divine pattern was finished. The divine pattern was hidden and could not be seen from the outside. Only when warriors inside or outside touched the divine pattern would the divine pattern show up.
The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader breathed in relief after the formation was finished. At least, Lu Li could not run away. The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader did not lose too badly.
He sat down in the Ice River Valley after the formation was finished. He tried to sense it carefully. In the end, that strange feeling came back — Lu Li was in the Ice River Valley.
"Did Lu Li use some kind of escape skill to enter the depths of the Ice River Valley?"
The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader thought of a possibility. Since the divine pattern was activated, Lu Li could not run away. The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader walked into the depths of the Ice River Valley.
Soon, he arrived at the place where Lu Li disappeared. The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader stood there to sense for a while before he moved on. The deeper he went, the darker it was and the colder it was.
Hundreds of miles later, the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader was frozen. His source of energy and blood were frozen as well. His movements were stiff and slow.
The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader stopped. He believed that Lu Li did not have the strength to go any further. Even the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader would not be able to go on for another three miles. By then, his soul would be frozen and the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader would die as well.
"I don't think he went in!"
The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader tried to sense. There was no breath of any living beings or any traces. It was impossible for Lu Li to go in without leaving any traces in the horrifying coldness.
The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe Leader stepped back and stood in the Ice River Valley. Looking at the dead bodies on the ground, for the first time, he had doubts about his own abilities.
He had been in closed-door cultivation for thousands of years, trying to improve his abilities and prolong his life.
Therefore, he was having doubts. Was it because he had been in closed-door cultivation for thousands of years that he could not keep up with the times?
