Yu Huashen came back in 10 days. He mobilized many skilled craftsmen to dig out the quagmire and build a formation outside the Teleportation Inhibition Formation.
Once alien races were teleported over, they would be trapped by the formation and those guarding the formation would be informed immediately.
Lu Li was still worried so he asked them to build another formation outside. With two layers, there would be enough time for warnings even if Human Sovereign Realm warriors from the Deserted World were to come over.
As soon as the warning was given, the powerful warriors guarding the exit of the small world of Green Dwarfs would destroy the tunnel. They might not have the chance to enter the Deserted World in the future but at least the Northern Desert could be saved.
Lu Li asked Bai Leng to leave some loyal warriors of the Bai Family to guard the small world. The rest were all sent out.
Lu Li issued a gag order. Nobody was allowed to talk about the small world of Green Dwarfs and the Deserted World. Anyone who did would be killed.
Everyone had seen Lu Li's means. The Green Dwarfs had been wiped out.
Anyone who dared to say anything would be implicated, not only themselves, but their families.
Lu Li jumped into the abyss at the exit. After a glare, they appeared in the area of demons.
There were many Xuan Beasts in the area but they were scared away by so many powerful warriors. Lu Li and the others flew above the area.
"Eh, another tornado?"
Lu Li flew up to the sky. He could see the wind and rain, thunder and lightning. In the distance, there was a huge tornado.
It was so similar to what he saw at the sea.
Lu Li thought of something. He took out an Iron-armored Ship and flew over. He waved his hand to Yu Huashen and said, "Yu Huashen, you take care of the rest. I need to cultivate here for a while."
Yu Huashen and Ming Yu's eyes glowed. They both knew that Lu Li had "learned something" at the sea.
Learning Profound Meaning in heaven and earth was a big deal. The empire had just been established and there were many things to deal with. That being said, Lu Li had never been a busybody. He could cultivate here or at the Ling Empress City.
"Clan Leader Ye and I will stay here. Yu Huashen, go about your own business. Don't let the Northern Desert be in trouble."
Ming Yu said to Yu Huashen and Zi Huanqiao after some thoughts. The two nodded.
With Ye Cha and Ming Yu here, Lu Li's safety was not a problem. They were Great Generals with many things to deal with.
"Qiuxue, go back first. Your aunt is very worried about you."
Seeing that Bai Qiuxue was looking at Lu Li, Bai Leng said in a low voice.
Bai Qiuxue nodded. She flew onto the Iron-armored Ship, walked to Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, I will go back now. I will come back for you later."
"Alright!"
Lu Li smiled, waved his hand and looked at the tornado in the distance.
The others came to say their goodbyes, but Lu Li ignored them. He was focused on the tornado in the distance.
He had a feeling that perhaps … he might be able to comprehend the profound meaning contained within the tornado.
Everyone left. Yu Huashen arranged for some people to stay nearby. Once something went wrong, they would destroy the tunnel connecting to the world of Green Dwarfs.
Autumn Snow and the rest left in a grandiose manner, heading towards the Heaven Prison Island.
The three patriarchs of the Cyan Phoenix Race left as well. Ye Cha told them to go back and check if the Clan Leader of the Mammoth Race had started to reach the Noble Lord Realm.
"Come closer!"
After everyone left, Lu Li waved his hand. Ming Yu controlled the Iron-armored Ship to move closer to the tornado.
When they were about three miles away, Lu Li said to Ming Yu, "You go back as well. Leave Clan Leader Ye here alone.
Your secret force must develop well. I want you to have control over all the intelligence of the entire Northern Desert.
Also … the information about the Deserted World must not be leaked out. Otherwise, we will all die without a burial place. If we dare to leak it out, even Yu Huashen will have to die. "
Ming Yu was one of the people Lu Li trusted the most. The purpose of the secret force was to monitor the world and control the Northern Desert.
Ming Yu knew this was a serious matter. Lu Li wouldn't be in danger at the Northern Desert.
Lu Li himself was not weak and he had Ye Cha with him.
Ming Yu bowed and left after some thoughts, leaving Ye Cha alone.
Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed in the sky. It was raining and it was raining. Lu Li was soaked but he didn't care. He stood on the deck of the Iron-armored Ship and stared at the tornado in the distance, lost in thought.
Ye Cha went back to his cabin and sat with his legs crossed to cultivate. But he kept checking the surroundings with his psychic power. If anything happened, he would be informed at once.
…
The Northern Desert was peaceful. Under the rule of Madam Yan, the world was in peace. Lu Feixue didn't seem to be in charge but she had been staying in the center and monitoring the world.
Bai Qiuxue went back to the Heaven Prison City. Bai Xiashuang and Zi Lian were both there. The three of them teleported to the Ling Empress City and met Madam Yan.
Bai Qiuxue didn't say much, not even to her aunt.
She knew that the more she revealed about the Deserted World, the more dangerous it would be for Lu Li and the other families of the Northern Desert.
Also, she learned the secret skills of the Hag Race, which made her feel ashamed to say it out loud.
Madam Yan was smart. She had gained a lot of useful information from Bai Qiuxue's words.
But she knew Lu Li must have his reasons for keeping the information secret. There were many things she didn't understand but the Bai Family and Lu Li were in the same boat. Naturally, she would follow Lu Li's lead.
After seven or eight days at the Ling Empress City, Bai Qiuxue couldn't stand it anymore. She said she wanted to go back to the Heaven Prison City to cultivate.
Bai Xiashuang couldn't sit still either. She was under Madam Yan's control here but back at the Heaven Prison City, she was like a wild horse.
Madam Yan threw Bai Qiuxue a meaningful look but didn't say anything. She told them to go back. She trusted Bai Qiuxue.
As Madam Yan expected, after a couple of days at the Heaven Prison City, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang went to the area of demons to find Lu Li.
When Madam Yan heard the news, she didn't blame them. Instead, she was delighted.
The Northern Desert had an emperor but not a queen.
Madam Yan didn't worry about what happened next. She just sent someone to the nearby sea area to ensure everyone's safety.
Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang arrived at the area of demons on the Iron-armored Ship. Today, lightning and thunder were flashing and the rain was pouring. In the middle of the lake, a tornado was raging, rolling up the lake water.
"Eh?"
Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang saw nobody on the deck of the Iron-armored Ship near the tornado. Instead, they saw a vague figure near the tornado.
"It is Lu Li!"
Bai Qiuxue and Bai Qiuxue got a better look. Bai Xiashuang's mouth was opened so wide that she could swallow an egg.
In the huge tornado in the distance, Lu Li was on his silver Fate Wheel. He was being spun around by the tornado. He seemed to have lost control of his body. He was spinning toward the center of the tornado.
"Swish —"
Right at that moment, a bolt of lightning whooshed across the sky and landed near the tornado. It went past Lu Li and landed in the lake. Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were so scared that their faces turned pale.
"Help!"
