Lu Ling was at the Black Tortoise City at the moment. The Serenity Plains had not been stabilized yet. There were too many scouts and spies from different families and forces.
To conquer the Serenity Plains completely, she must eliminate all the spies and scouts.
In a hall, Lu Ling was reading the military intelligence sent back from the frontline. There was an entire table.
Usually, Lu Ling would take her time to enjoy the tea and read the information. But today, she felt uneasy and uncomfortable. She just couldn't sit well.
She threw the intelligence on the table and sat for a while. Her eyebrows were knitted together.
She waved her hand and Hu Lang came in. Lu Ling asked, "Is there any special intelligence? Why do I feel … uneasy today?"
Hu Lang was stunned for a moment. He blinked his eyes and said, "No, no one sent any military intelligence today. The military intelligence was only sent yesterday. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any new military intelligence coming in two days."
Lu Ling nodded. She waved Hu Lang away and went back to reading.
After a while, she felt more and more uncomfortable. She put down the report, stood up and shouted, "Hu Lang, go to the Deserted World and see if anything has happened."
"Okay … okay!"
Hu Lang didn't dare to disobey her. He walked out.
He was about to take the Teleportation Formation to the cave to enter the Deserted World when the Teleportation Formation in the city suddenly lit up. A man showed up.
"Ming Yu!"
Hu Lang's heart skipped a beat when he saw Ming Yu. He didn't talk to Ming Yu. He grabbed Ming Yu's arm and rushed into the hall.
Before they reached the inner hall, Lu Ling appeared at the gate. She was taken aback and her face turned pale when she saw Ming Yu. She said nothing and looked at him.
"Lady Ling, something is wrong!"
Lu Ling waved her hand after Ming Yu said those words. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she opened her eyes again and asked Ming Yu to continue.
Ming Yu reported in distress, "There is a mysterious girl in the Inferno. She is at the Human Sovereign Realm and has a Quasi Relic. She is very powerful and she has a ninth rank Bloodline.
God of Meng, Yan Zhen and Ye Cha could not survive one move from her. Now, Young Master and that mysterious girl are missing.
We think … Young Master has been taken away by that mysterious girl! "
"What?"
Hu Lang turned pale with fright and said in disbelief, "Ninth Grade Bloodline? Are you sure?"
A Quasi Relic was normal and a girl at the Human Sovereign Realm was not that scary. It was not exaggerated that Yan Zhen, the God of Meng, could not survive one strike from the girl. But the fact that she had a Ninth-rank Bloodline was unacceptable.
Lu Ling sighed. She blamed herself and was upset. She took another few breaths. Without asking any questions, she ordered, "Hu Lang, relay my order. Get all the Human Sovereign Realm warriors back. Now!"
"Everything …"
Hu Lang was a little hesitant. Right now, many Human Sovereigns were standing guard everywhere. If there were no Human Sovereigns around, the Serene Prefecture would soon fall into chaos.
Lu Ling threw him a cold glance. Hu Lang dared not to hesitate any longer. He dashed out and began to summon all the Human Sovereign Realm warriors.
Ming Yu knew what was on Lu Ling's mind. Compared to Lu Li, Ming Yu wouldn't mind losing the Clouds Plains and the Serenity Plains and losing all the Human Sovereign Realm warriors under Lu Ling's command.
The two siblings were both like this. They wouldn't hesitate even if they had to exchange their entire world for each other's lives.
"Let's go to the Inferno first!"
Lu Ling thought about it and walked out. At the door, she said to the chief steward, "Tell Hu Lang that when all the Human Sovereign Realm warriors are gathered, we will go to the Inferno at once."
Ming Yu dared not to disobey Lu Ling. He teleported with her and arrived at the Deserted World after a few turns.
Lu Ling didn't stop. She teleported to the Shadowland City.
Everyone in the Inferno had come out and gathered at the Shadowland City. Ming Yu had given orders to control the city. Nobody was allowed to leave. Yan Zhen was in charge in person.
The atmosphere in the city was tense. Everyone was in a state of panic. They didn't know what was going on. However, they were taken out from cultivation and kept in a city.
Ming Yu, Yan Zhen, Ke Lv and the others looked awful. Naturally, they could tell that something serious had happened.
The arrival of Lu Ling and Ming Yu made them feel they had found their backbone. Lu Feixue was crying her eyes out. She was also a girl but she couldn't take as much as Lu Ling.
Lu Ling comforted Lu Feixue calmly and told her to go back to rest. Then, she looked around the hall and asked Yan Zhen, "Where are God of Meng and Ye Cha?"
"They are still in there …"
Yan Zhen answered, "They were knocked out. When they woke up, they found that Young Master Li was missing.
Ye Cha came back and told them something. Then, he and God of Meng went to look for Young Master Li. "
Lu Ling nodded. She asked another question, "What is the situation at the Inferno?"
Yan Zhen turned to Ke Lv, the Clan Leader of the Shadowland Race who bowed and said, "We have set up a formation at the exit. If we don't deactivate it and someone tries to force their way in, the formation will be blown up along with the passageway.
We have given jade talismans to Lord God of Meng and Clan Leader Ye. They will contact us when they come out. "
"Good. Clan Leader Ke, you have done well. Please go to the passageway and report back at once if anything happens!"
Lu Ling waved her hand and Ke Lv left with Ke Mang. She glanced at everyone and said, "Do not tell anyone about what happened in the Inferno. Anyone who does will be killed.
Okay, you can go now. I have my own arrangements. "
Somehow, they were relieved to see Lu Ling so calm. They left one after another. Yan Zhen and Ming Yu stayed. They knew Lu Ling was going to ask them about the situation.
Yan Zhen admired Lu Ling. Her brother was missing and could die at any moment.
Inside, she was burning with anxiety but she kept a straight face.
"Tell me what you have seen, what you have seen and what you have guessed!" Lu Ling asked. She picked up a cup of tea but didn't drink it.
Yan Zhen and Ming Yu organized their thoughts and said, "A while ago, more than a dozen scouts died in the fire lake. Young Master Li sent a message for me and God of Meng. We went to the fire lake to check.
We circled around the volcano for a while … At the last moment, Young Master Li told me to leave. You told me to follow his orders and I did not dare to disobey … "
Yan Zhen recounted everything he had seen and heard, including the robes that the girl was wearing. He also told Ye Cha about the situation that Ye Cha had come back to report to him.
Ye Cha and God of Meng were trapped in the petals but they could hear what was said outside. But the latter two were knocked out.
Lu Ling didn't hear Leng Wuxin asking Lu Li to go with her and do three things for her.
Lu Ling closed her eyes and tried to recall Yan Zhen's words. Images came to her mind.
