Little White went down. Lu Li was worried and expectant at the same time.
Little White was miraculous. Inhibition Formations were ineffective against it. Little White had been refined by thunderbolts for a long time so its defense was strong.
Would it be harmed by the cold current?
Lu Li didn't know.
Lu Li, on the other hand, did not rush in like an idiot. If he dared to go in and be frozen by the cold current, he would die immediately.
They had to wait. Lu Ling frowned. She was worried about Little White's safety.
This beast was miraculous and had so much room for growth. It would be such a shame if it died.
The two hours this time was even more torturous for Lu Li than the last time.
Little White and Lu Li were not master and servant so Lu Li could not tell if Little White was alive or dead. Lu Li had to wait with anxiety.
It had been two hours and Qu Cheng, Lu Li and Little White still hadn't come up. Lu Li was getting more and more anxious. He flew around the abyss and his eyebrows were knitted together.
After the time for three incense sticks to burn, there came a noise from below. Lu Li and the others checked with psychic power at once.
When Lu Li saw Little White on God of Meng's shoulder, he was relieved.
However …
This time, God of Meng and Qu Cheng came up alone. They didn't bring anyone with them.
Moreover, the expressions of the two of them were a little off. Their expressions were a little ugly.
"Clatter ~"
Lu Li and Lu Ling looked at each other. Both of them had a bad feeling.
This time, neither of them was in a hurry to ask about the situation as if they didn't want to receive bad news.
"Saint Lord!"
Qu Cheng and God of Meng bowed and shouted as they came up. They were both Saint Lords.
Little White hopped onto Lu Li's shoulder and shouted in a deep voice, which made Lu Li more worried.
"Phew, phew ~"
Lu Ling took a deep breath to calm herself down and said, "What is it? Tell me."
Qu Cheng looked at God of Meng. Seeing that God of Meng didn't want to talk, Qu Cheng made up his mind and said, "Young Master Li's beast is good. It cracked the Inhibition Formations easily. We went into the cave and we saw … a grave!"
"Grave!"
Lu Ling and Lu Li felt as if two thunderbolts had struck on a clear day. Both of them trembled.
Lu Ling almost fell out of her Bead of Life. Fortunately, Hu Lang helped her up.
Lu Li looked at Lu Ling with worry. He was not as close to his parents as Lu Ling was. After all, he had never seen his parents since he was a kid. Lu Ling was different.
He flew over, grabbed her arm and said to Qu Cheng, "Go on."
Qu Cheng shook the wrinkles on his face and continued, "There was a corpse in the grave. I checked it and found that it was a beautiful woman.
He should have been dead for more than ten years, but the temperature down there was very low, so his body was well preserved.
There's a tombstone with the words — Beloved Wife Di Yun's Grave. "
"Pu!"
Finally, she could not hold back the blood anymore. She spat it out and collapsed.
Di Yun was her mother's name. Clearly, the tombstone was built by Lu Renhuang.
Lu Renhuang took his mother into the Ice Abyss, but he failed to save her. More than a decade later, their mother had passed away.
"Sister ~"
Lu Ling's eyes rolled up and she was about to pass out. Lu Li held her in his arms anxiously, took out a pellet and fed it to her.
She had been worried about them for more than a decade, looking forward to them for more than a decade, talking about them for more than a decade.
For Lu Ling, what happened to her parents was not only a concern but also a belief that supported her to this day. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to make it many years ago.
Today, she was filled with joy and expectation. Finally, she and Lu Li had the ability to save her parents.
She didn't expect to receive such a grievous news. How could she accept it?
At the moment, above the Ice Abyss, Lu Li was worried that Lu Ling would lose her mind. He took her down to the barren land next to the Ice Abyss.
Lu Ling closed her eyes. Her breaths were weak and her face was pale.
The four Human Sovereign Realm warriors of the Clouds Plains looked at her with worry. They were all Lu Ling's slaves. If Lu Ling died, they would all die with her.
"Mother is dead …"
Lu Li was upset as well. He didn't even have the chance to see his mother. How could she die like this?
She had been dead for more than a decade and they only found out now …
Lu Ling rested in Lu Li's arms for the time for one incense stick to burn before she struggled to stand up.
She dropped to her knees. Seeing that Lu Li was still in a daze, she scolded him coldly, "Lu Li, on your knees!"
Lu Li knelt at once. The four Human Sovereign Realm warriors of the Clouds Plains looked at each other and knelt down as well.
God of Meng and Ye Cha thought about it and knelt down as well. After all, Saint Lord had knelt down. As subordinates, how could they remain standing?
"Mother, I, Lu Ling, and my brother, Lu Li, are here to kowtow to you!"
Lu Ling said with tears in her eyes. Then, she kowtowed to the ground. Lu Li, the Human Sovereign Realm warriors and Ye Cha followed suit. Lu Ling kowtowed to the ground for nine times. She even made a dent in the ice.
After that, Lu Ling still didn't stand up. She just knelt there.
Lu Li didn't stand up either. The other Human Sovereign Realm warriors were too embarrassed to do so.
God of Meng and Ye Cha were embarrassed. They were all Patriarchs and they had lived for a long time. Even if Lu Ling and Lu Li's mother were still alive, she would only be in her thirties …
After the time for three incense sticks to burn, Lu Ling stood up. Lu Li asked the others to stand up as well.
Lu Ling looked at Qu Cheng, wiped her tears and asked, "Where is my father?"
"Nobody …"
Qu Cheng shook his head and said, "There is only one tunnel and an underground plaza. There are signs of people living in there and there are some Mystical Grasses. But … there is no living being in there!"
"Impossible!"
Lu Li and Lu Ling's eyes were wide open. They couldn't believe it. How could there be nobody in there?
Lu Renhuang was still alive. How could he not be in the Ice Abyss?
Could it be that Lu Renhuang had come out a long time ago?
But Lu Li and Lu Ling had been living at the Northern Desert for the past 15 years. How could Lu Renhuang not go to them?
Could it be that … Lu Renhuang was dead?
That jade talisman of life was given to Lu Ling by Lu Renhuang himself. It was still intact.
Lu Ling asked, "Are you sure there is nobody in there?
Are you sure you have searched everywhere? "
God of Meng said, "Yes, we have. There is nobody in there.
But one thing is for sure. Someone was in there a while ago. There are some seeds of edible fruits and some signs of living.
I estimate that the people inside have been gone for no more than a month. "
"A month?"
Lu Li and Lu Ling frowned. Lu Renhuang was in the Ice Abyss a month ago?
Lu Li was not at the Northern Desert. He happened to be at the Clouds Plains.
"Let's go back!"
Lu Li's eyes glowed. It was possible that Lu Renhuang had gone to the Ling Empress City.
Lu Feixue was at the Ling Empress City. How could Lu Renhuang not ask around after he left?
Lu Ling would go to the Ling Empress City to wait for Lu Li's return.
Lu Ling thought about it and said, "Lu Li, let's go to the Ling Empress City. Qu Cheng, you wait outside."
Their mother had passed away more than a decade ago. There was no point in grieving. They had to find their father first.
At least, they could find out the details and meet Lu Renhuang. That was the only consolation.
"Zi Huanqiao!"
