In the Teleportation Hall of the Dan City, Lu Li came out. The black-armored old man stepped into the portal and went back to the Demon-slaying Battleground.
The old man at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm of the Du Family was still guarding the Teleportation Hall. He was shocked to see Lu Li.
He quietly winked at the two guards outside the door, got up and said, "Young Master Lu, you're back?
Who was that just now? "
News of what happened at the Demon-slaying City had yet to reach Lu Li. That being said, those who went to the small battlefield had already returned. They had spread the word about what happened to Lu Li in the small battlefield and the fact that Ji Mengtian was imprisoned.
Therefore, Lu Li's sudden appearance at the Dan City shocked the old man and made him nervous.
He looked at the portal from time to time, wondering if there would be pursuers coming out.
Their small Du family could not afford to offend anyone.
Lu Li stood in the hall, absent-minded.
Half a year ago, he and Jiang Qiling entered the Demon-slaying Grounds from here. Now, he was all by himself.
He didn't know how Jiang Qiling was doing or when they would meet again.
Looking at Jiang Tianshun's expression, it seemed that they wouldn't be able to see each other for a while.
They had been in the Demon-slaying Grounds for half a year. Apart from the Ding of Barbarian God and the improvement of Little White and himself, they had gained nothing else.
He had also offended four super forces. Ten years later, the armies of the four super forces would gather at the Northern Desert and kill him, his family and friends.
This time around, the only reason he entered was to cure Autumn Snow of the poison.
Not only did he not get the antidote, he had also caused a lot of trouble. Lu Li didn't know if it was the right thing to do to enter the Demon-slaying Battleground.
Rustle, rustle, rustle ~
From outside came some footsteps. Lu Li looked up and saw an old acquaintance, Patriarch Du Zheng, the Family Patriarch of the Du Family and a group of patriarchs.
"Young Lord Lu!"
The patriarch of the Du Family, Du Wu, cupped his hands and said, "Why did you … come out?
Where is Miss Qi?
How is the situation in the Demon-slaying City? "
"The matters in the mini battlefield have been settled!"
Lu Li wasn't in the mood to explain too much. He continued, "You will know the specifics in a few days.
For this matter … the First Hall Master has personally come forward. I don't wish to say anything else. I will return to the Northern Desert first. "
Lu Li was a bit depressed. He had been away from the Northern Desert for more than half a year. He wanted to go back as soon as possible in case something happened.
Du Wu's eyes flickered. He didn't dare to force Lu Li to stay, nor did he dare to let Lu Li leave like this. What if the powerful warriors of the four forces caught up and asked him for Lu Li?
He thought for a while and said, "Du Ran, accompany Young Master Lu back to the Northern Desert.
Young Master Lu doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Try to console him. "
Du Ran was going to keep an eye on Lu Li, so that the Du Family could know Lu Li's whereabouts.
Lu Li didn't want to point it out. He didn't mind Du Ran tagging along. It would save him some trouble on the way.
At once, Lu Li and Du Zheng walked towards the Teleportation Formation in the city. Du Wu sent someone to the Demon-slaying Battleground to ask about the situation and to report that Lu Li had arrived at the Dan City.
…
Lu Li and Du Ran arrived at the Clouds City and then teleported to the Ling Empress City.
"Greetings, Emperor!"
Lu Li's appearance at the plaza at the Ling Empress City caused a sensation.
It had been more than half a year since Lu Li showed up. There had been some rumors in the Ling Empress City. Now that Lu Li was back, the city became lively.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
Madam Yan, Yu Huashen and Ming Yu flew out with others to welcome Lu Li back.
Only a few people knew that Lu Li had gone to the Demon-slaying Battleground. Madam Yan had covered up Lu Li's whereabouts. Therefore, during this time, people of the Northern Desert were in a state of panic. Now that Lu Li was back, all the rumors were dispelled.
Lu Li and Madam Yan made eye contact. Lu Li was relieved to know that everything was fine at the Northern Desert.
He didn't talk too much with Madam Yan and the others. He took Du Ran inside and asked Madam Yan to entertain Du Ran. He asked some questions and was ready to teleport to the Deserted World to see Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang.
"Oh right!"
Thinking of Bai Qiuxue, Lu Li turned to Du Ran and said, "Patriarch Du, please look into something for me in secret. I want to buy a kind of fruit, Bodhi Fruit!"
Lu Li found a piece of paper and a brush. He drew the Bodhi Fruit and wrote down the information about it. Then he said, "You must keep this a secret. Not even your Family Patriarch.
If there's any news, just send me a message. I'll take care of the rest.
If you can find the fruit, I, Lu Li, will owe you a big favor. "
Grand Master would tell the Pavilion of Delicacy not to help Lu Li. Lu Li couldn't make it public so he had to ask Du Ran to look into it in secret.
Du Ran agreed to Lu Li's request since it was not a big deal, seeing how serious Lu Li was.
Lu Li nodded and left. He teleported to the Deserted World and then to the Snow Mountain of Dragons.
"Go and play ~"
Back at the snow mountain, Little White sneaked out of Lu Li's sleeve. Its eyes were filled with excitement.
Lu Li threw it to the ground and waved his hand. Little White was very powerful now so Lu Li wasn't worried that someone could hurt it.
"Saint Lord!"
A patriarch of the Cyan Phoenix Race was guarding outside the hall. He saluted Lu Li with excitement.
Lu Li nodded and went into the hall. He didn't see Bai Xiashuang. She must be cultivating in her own castle.
Pushing open the door of the ice room, Lu Li looked at Bai Qiuxue who was frozen on the ice bed. Looking at her pale and beautiful face, Lu Li felt his heart ache.
He walked to the side of the bed and sat down. One of his hands gently caressed Autumn Snow's face through the layer of ice. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of apology as he said, "Autumn Snow, I'm back. You must have been very lonely when I wasn't here, right?
It is my fault.
Let me tell you a piece of bad news … I didn't get the antidote this time so you have to stay here for a while. I am sorry. I am useless … "
Lu Li kept murmuring like a lunatic. He said a lot but he wasn't sure if Bai Qiuxue could hear him.
He sat in there for a long time without using Xuan Energy to fight against the cold. Soon, frost appeared on his eyebrows and hair. Soon, frost appeared on his body. At this rate, he might be frozen …
But Lu Li didn't care. He sat there like a statue, motionless. He kept murmuring like a lunatic.
After a while, Lu Li couldn't even speak. A thin layer of ice had formed around him. He had become an ice sculpture.
Lu Li seemed to be tired of talking. He stopped talking and just stared at Bai Qiuxue quietly, letting the ice around him get thicker and thicker …
Squeak, squeak ~
Half an hour later, the door was pushed open. Bai Xiashuang walked in and saw a person sitting beside the bed. That person was gazing at Autumn Snow with deep emotions in his eyes. However, his body had already turned into an ice sculpture.
"Rustle, rustle ~"
Bai Xiashuang did not say anything, but tears fell from her eyes. Unfortunately, the temperature inside was too low. Her tears soon froze and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Bai Xiashuang had suffered a lot recently, but she knew that Autumn Snow had suffered even more.
But judging by Lu Li's current state, he might be having a harder time than Bai Qiuxue …
