The last thing Lu Li wanted to hear was that something had happened. He didn't want to get involved in anything.
He just wanted to cultivate in peace and wait for Bai Qiuxue to wake up so that she could see him as soon as possible. He wanted to spend time with her and tell her how much he missed her and how guilty he was.
However, Lu Li could not turn his back on the Inferno.
The Inferno was important to Lu Li and Lu Ling. There were many Mystical Materials in the Inferno. More importantly, they could learn Profound Meanings faster. The Inferno was a land of treasures. Nothing could go wrong.
Ye Cha had just received the news. He didn't have time to investigate so he didn't know much.
Lu Li asked some questions and went in to check on Bai Qiuxue. He told Ding Gui to keep an eye on her and asked Bai Xiashuang to stay and take care of her.
At the same time, Lu Li told Meng Zhi and Chee-ker to guard the place. If anything happened to Bai Qiuxue, they wouldn't have to come back to him.
When everything was settled, Lu Li sent someone to inform Lu Ling that there was not a single Human Sovereign Realm warrior in the Deserted World and the Inferno. All of them were guarding and clearing out Beasts.
What if there was a Beast King like the Fire Leopard King and Lu Li could not defeat it?
"Let's go!"
Lu Li teleported away with Ye Cha. He wanted to find out what was going on.
They teleported back and forth. In less than an hour, they had arrived at the Inferno.
The base camp in the Inferno was crowded with at least ten thousand people.
Before he left, Lu Li said that people could only come in and not leave to prevent information from leaking out. Ye Cha was in charge of the intelligence work.
Many of them were in seclusion, but there were also many who were resting.
Seeing Lu Li come in, they gathered around. Ming Yu and Lu Feixue had come back a while ago.
"Good ~"
Lu Li took a look. Many familiar people had made breakthroughs in their realms. Talented disciples of many families were progressing at a rapid speed. The Xuan Crystals he spent every month were not wasted.
"Go!"
Lu Li waved his hand and walked into the valley with Ming Yu and Lu Feixue. On their way, Lu Li asked, "What is going on?
How many have died? "
"Fifteen!"
Ming Yu explained, "To the west of the Fire Qilin's territory is a lake of fire. The lake is filled with lava and there are many elixirs.
Some time ago, he had arranged for five scouts to investigate, but who knew that all five of their Jade Life Talismans had shattered.
On the day you came back, I sent another five scouts with Noble Lord Realm warriors leading the teams. Still, they were wiped out. "
"That is why I came back in a hurry from the Snow Mountain of Dragons. I sent another five scouts over the past couple of days. One of them was a new Noble Lord Realm warrior of the Cyan Phoenix Race. But … he died as well!"
Lu Li turned to Ye Cha and saw a glint of sorrow in his eyes. Lu Li asked, "Who is it?"
"Ye Ru, a good kid. He has just reached the Noble Lord Realm not long ago!"
Ye Cha said in pain. Over the years, the Cyan Phoenix Race had some Noble Lord Realm warriors. However, there were less than 20 of them. The death of any one of them would make Ye Cha feel heartbroken.
Lu Li didn't know what to say. He patted Ye Cha's shoulder and said to Ming Yu, "15 died. Didn't you find anything?
Is it a Beast Emperor? "
"That's the problem!"
Ming Yu and Lu Feixue looked at each other, confused. Lu Feixue explained, "Before Ye Ru left, we gave him three warning jade talismans.
If it was a Beast Emperor, he would crush one. If it was a monster, he would crush the second one. If it was a human, he would crush the third one. But … both the second and third jade talismans were broken! "
"What?"
Lu Li and Ye Cha's eyes were wide open. They thought they had heard it wrong.
Ming Yu nodded and took out three jade talismans. Two of them were broken. Lu Li asked in surprise, "Did Ye Ru make a mistake?
Are there other humans in the Inferno apart from our people? "
The entrance had been controlled by Lu Li's people. If outsiders could sneak in, Ming Yu and Ye Cha could go home and farm.
What was more, even though Ye Ru had just reached the Noble Lord Realm, the Cyan Phoenix Race was fast. Average Noble Lord Realm warriors would not be able to kill them.
Ming Yu said with a frown, "Your aunt and I don't know what is going on. That is why we asked Clan Leader Ye and you to come in and discuss."
"Okay. Don't send people to their deaths. Ye Cha and I will go to the base camp at the territory of the Fire Qilin!"
Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Stay here. If my sister sends Human Sovereign Realm warriors over, tell them to meet up with me directly."
Lu Feixue stopped Lu Li and said, "Don't go. Be careful. Wait here."
"What can happen?"
Lu Li smiled confidently and said, "Your nephew can even kill Human Sovereign Realm warriors. What's more, is there a difference between waiting here and waiting there?
Don't worry. I will not go to the fire lake unless a Human Sovereign Realm warrior comes. "
A formation of destruction was built at the Fire Qilin's territory. Lu Feixue thought it was the same to stay here. Since Lu Li had said so, she didn't try to stop him.
Lu Ling must have learned the news and she would send Human Sovereign Realm warriors over soon.
Lu Li and Ye Cha left the valley quickly and flew toward the territory of the Fire Qilin. There was a base camp there as well with some warriors and armies living there.
Lu Li was worried that some powerful warriors or monsters would come out from the fire lake to attack the base camp. That was why he went to check it out first.
Lu Li had the Rising Dragon Skill. He was not sure about the specific power, but he was sure he could kill average Human Sovereign Realm warriors easily.
Coupled with the might of dragon, he could deter average Beast Kings. Naturally, Lu Li was emboldened.
There was a formation of destruction over there so it was safe.
After flying for a few hours, the two of them arrived at the base camp.
Inside the mountains, there was still a thick layer of mist, which meant that the formation of illusion was still there. Lu Li and Ye Cha were relieved.
"Buzzing!"
A mountain glowed. Ke Mang came out with more than a dozen warriors to welcome Lu Li.
Lu Li didn't ask any questions. He waved his hand and led them into the mountain.
In the middle of the mountain was a hall. It was tidy after some decorations.
There was a group of people in the hall, mostly scouts. They were called back and were not allowed to go out and explore.
Lu Li asked some questions but they didn't have much information. They only said that it was safe outside the fire lake. But in the fire lake, one could die.
Ming Yu had given an order not to go into the fire lake. Naturally, the scouts could not get any information.
"Go and hide outside the fire lake!" Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Come back and report as soon as anything happens in the fire lake."
The scouts went out. Lu Li decided not to take the risk. He would wait for Lu Ling to send Human Sovereign Realm warriors in.
Three days later, nothing happened at the fire lake. The Human Sovereign Realm warriors sent by Lu Ling had arrived.
One was God of Meng and the other was Yan Zhen, the master of the Yama Palace at the Serenity Plains, a warrior at the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm.
God of Meng said, "Saint Lord, the other Human Sovereign Realm warriors are not nearby so Lady Ling only sent us here.
She wants me to tell you that if you feel danger, don't force yourself. Go back to the base camp or close the Inferno for now until she has conquered the Serenity Plains. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded. God of Meng's defense was impressive and Yan Zhen was a warrior at the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm. Together with Lu Li, even if they encountered powerful Human Sovereign Realm warriors or monsters, they could at least retreat.
