Flying Locust Island was the territory of a sixth-class force under the banner of Samsara Palace. There were indeed many scouts here.
As soon as Lu Li and the other two were teleported over, many psychic powers were locked onto them. Many of them retracted their psychic powers when they realized it was Gu Min.
Several psychic powers scanned Lu Li but they didn't linger.
Lu Li sensed that there were not many powerful warriors on the island, only three at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm. They posed no threat.
Gu Min must have teleported here often. He was familiar with every leader here. He brought Lu Li and Bai Xiashuang over for a chat and then teleported away with Lu Li and Bai Xiashuang.
Lu Li had been standing behind Gu Min in silence. His power at the peak of the Eternal Realm was not eye-catching, mainly because of his average looks. Dozens of warriors like him could be found on the street.
When the Teleportation Formation was activated, no psychic power was sent to him. Lu Li knew he had successfully snuck into the Central Plains.
This Bone Shrinking Technique was worthy of being an ancient secret technique. If he relied on disguise, he would definitely be discovered.
The three of them continuously teleported to the north. The Gu family was in the north, which was also the sphere of influence of the Samsara Palace.
However, the Gu family was only a fifth-class family and was not qualified to have a relationship with the Samsara Palace.
After more than a dozen teleportations, they arrived at a medium-sized city. Gu Min and Lu Li found a tavern to spend the night.
Gu Min went to the brothel alone that night. He was a famous playboy, so it would be weird if he did not spend the night with a woman.
At dawn, Lu Li, Gu Min and the others left. When they walked out of the tavern, they saw a small mark on the street.
The small mark was inconspicuous, but it was the signal that Lu Li and the Jackal had agreed on.
Seeing this mark, Lu Li knew that even if Hu Lang wasn't in the city, he would still know his whereabouts.
According to the itinerary, the three of them had to return to the Gu family's territory first. After all, Gu Min was representing the Gu family to do business in Cloud State and Youzhou State. How could he not return to the Gu family when he returned to Zhongzhou?
After continuously teleporting for three days, the three of them finally arrived at Glorious Ancient City, where the Gu family resided.
In a secret chamber of the Gu Family, Gu Min brought Gu Feihong, the Family Patriarch of the Gu Family to visit Lu Li.
"Greetings, Young Master Li!"
Seeing Gu Feihong kneeling to him, Lu Li admired Lu Ling's means. This Gu Family Patriarch was her slave as well.
That being said, Lu Ling had to sell a large number of Mystical Materials from the Inferno and buy them secretly from the Central Plains. Without the help of several families, it would be troublesome to rely on people from the Clouds Plains.
The Northern Desert did not have a controlling family in the Central Plains. Therefore, once the Pavilion of Delicacy closed down, they could not buy any Mystical Materials in the Central Plains.
Since it was Lu Ling's girl, Lu Li settled down without worry.
One day later, Gu Min set off with Lu Li and the five patriarchs of the Gu Family. Gu Yu and Lu Li followed Gu Min as his escorts.
Their destination this time was the Million Buddha City. The auction in the Million Buddha City was about to begin.
It was normal for Gu Min and the others to go there when all the disciples of the big families in Zhongzhou were gathered in the City of Buddha.
The territory of the Great Buddhist Temple was to the north of the Samsara Palace. It would only take seven or eight days to teleport there from Glorious Ancient City.
Hu Lang didn't contact Lu Li again. Lu Li knew it was for safety reasons. The more Hu Lang contacted them, the easier it would be for them to be exposed.
After eight days of teleportation, Lu Li finally arrived at a big city near the City of Buddha, the City of Thousand Devils.
There was still half a month to go before the auction. Lu Li was not in a hurry. The City of Buddha was a mixed bag of good and bad people. All the big families and forces of the Central Plains might be here.
Lu Li decided not to go there for now in case his identity was exposed.
Gu Min stayed at the City of Thousand Devils and indulged in debauchery every day. Every day, he would take a different girl. Two patriarchs of the Gu Family went to the City of Buddha in advance to make arrangements and gather information.
Five days later, a patriarch came back with a lot of information.
What disappointed Lu Li was — the auction did not publish the list of items so he was not sure if the Bodhi Fruit would be on the list.
As Lu Li had expected, all the forces of the 11 Royal Families of the Central Plains had sent representatives, including the Pavilion of Delicacy, the Samsara Palace, the Tumulus of Universe, the Lu Family, the Palace of Heaven's Roars, the Pavilion of Blossoms, the Hades Society, the Yaksha Race, the Red Lunar, the Palace of Immortals Inquiries and the Life League.
The 12 forces were all here but they only sent their young disciples.
Usually, this kind of event was a good time for the young generation to gather together. Usually, the older generation would not get involved.
It was just an auction of fruits, not a war. It was a chance for the young to gain some exposure. It would be easier for them to hook up with each other, right?
Lu Li had met some disciples of the 12 Royal Families but not the young masters and young ladies of the Palace of Immortals Inquiries, the Life League, the Yaksha Race and the Red Lunar.
According to the elder, the disciples of the various forces and royal families had all come.
Many families had sent their future family patriarchs as well. Ye Luo was one of them. He was the future family patriarch of the Ye Family of the Tumulus of Universe.
"Young Master Li!"
The patriarch thought about it and said something uncertain, "It is said that … Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan, Lu Suan and Die Feiyu will be here as well. But it is not confirmed yet."
"What?"
Lu Li's eyes were wide open. He asked in disbelief, "Aren't they in the Blood Realm?
How can they be out in advance? "
It was the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall who ordered them to be exiled to the Blood Realm.
Only one and a half years had passed. Who would have the guts to let them out?
"I heard that they came out half a month ago."
The patriarch said with uncertainty, "It seems that their abilities have improved in the Blood Realm and they have suppressed the powerful warriors in the Blood Realm.
Therefore, exiling them to the Blood Realm is pointless. Deputy Master asked the Grand Master to let them out. "
"Their abilities have improved?
Have they reached the Human Sovereign Realm? "
Lu Li gasped. He didn't know much about the Blood Realm. But if the rumor was so horrifying, it was impossible to suppress the powerful indigenous warriors in the Blood Realm without reaching the Human Sovereign Realm.
"I don't know …"
The patriarch shook his head and said, "The information has been circulated secretly and has not been made public yet.
Given my status, I can't get any inside information. I think we will have to wait until two days before the auction. "
There is no smoke without fire!
Lu Li smiled coldly. For him, Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan, Lu Suan and Die Feiyu were his mortal enemies.
If he had the chance, he would definitely kill them.
Lu Li didn't mind that some of them had reached the Human Sovereign Realm.
Nobody dared to go against him openly when he announced his identity.
He was afraid of the Bodhi Fruit!
Yang Yu said that the Samsara Palace and the Hades Society were aware that he was looking for the Bodhi Fruit. If Ji Mengtian and the others really came to the Great Buddhist Temple, he could just ask the Great Buddhist Temple to sell the Bodhi Fruit to them. In that case, Lu Li's trip would be in vain.
Even if the Great Buddhist Temple didn't sell the Bodhi Fruit to them, they could put it up for auction.
They could offer any price. Lu Li had brought many Xuan Crystals with him but could he compete with the Royal Families?
