Many people were living in the base camp of the Inferno and even more outside. More than half of the people from the Deserted World had gone to the Inferno.
Even though the passageway connecting the Deserted World to the Serenity Plains was sealed by Ke Mang, many people still felt that the Deserted World was not safe.
Ming Yu relocated those who wanted to go to the Inferno and only left those who didn't. He also left some warriors to guard the passageway to the Serenity Plains.
Once the passageway went wrong, Ming Yu would have to destroy the passageway connecting the Inferno to the Deserted World.
Many families of the Northern Desert had their elite disciples cultivating in the Inferno. Some from the Clouds Plains were relocated here. There were at least one hundred thousand of them.
Including those from the Deserted World, the Inferno had a population of at least several million.
Outside the main camp were undulating tents. The temperature here was very high and not suitable for people to live in, but it was much safer here.
Even in the Inferno, many people were living in fear. They were worried that powerful warriors of the four families would descend from the sky and kill everyone …
"Whoosh ~"
An ear-piercing air-piercing sound came from the northern sky, startling countless people. Groups of ancient races walked out of their tents, their faces full of caution.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
Many people flew up from the base camp. Ming Yu flew over with a group of Noble Lord Realm warriors. He looked solemn.
When he saw that it was a bead and how fast it was, he turned pale with fright.
All the Beasts of Primordial Chaos in the Inferno had been killed. It was clear that no one was left. The sudden appearance of the bead and its speed made Ming Yu feel frightened out of instinct …
Lu Li used psychic power. The bead floated above the tent. A group of people came out. Lu Li stood at the front. He looked at the terrified people down below. Lu Li seemed to be in pain and guilty.
"Eh?"
Ming Yu and the others trembled. Ming Yu looked at Lu Li in disbelief. His lips trembled as he asked, "Young Master?
Young Master, is that you? "
Lu Li nodded. He turned to Ming Yu and said, "Ming Yu, you have finally reached the Human Sovereign Realm."
"Young Master!"
Ming Yu dropped to his knees. Tears ran down his cheeks. The others knelt down as well.
There were many familiar faces of Lu Li, such as patriarchs of the Cyan Phoenix Race, Zi Lian, and some young masters of the Bai Family …
"Saint Lord, it's the Saint Lord!"
Some of the ancient race civilians outside recognized Lu Li. They dropped to their knees.
Many of them acted as if they had seen their elders as they wailed and complained loudly.
"Get up!"
Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Your families will not die in vain. I, Lu Li, will avenge this blood feud. Otherwise, I will commit suicide as an apology to the world."
Lu Li dared not to waste any more time. He asked Ming Yu, "Ming Yu, did my sister leave behind any jade talismans of life?"
"No …"
Ming Yu shook his head and said, "They left in a hurry, so they did not leave behind their Jade Tokens of Life."
"Ming Yu, come up and follow me to the Central Plains!"
Lu Li said coldly. Looking at Ke Mang, he said, "Ke Mang, when I am not here, I will leave the Inferno and the Deserted World to you. Now, open up the passageway and let me go to the Serenity Plains!"
"Yes!"
Ke Mang remembered the more than a dozen Earth Immortal Realm warriors in the Wicked Bead. He hurried back to the base camp.
Ming Yu flew over as well. He didn't ask any questions. He was Lu Li's servant. As long as Lu Li made the decision, Ming Yu would follow him no matter what.
"Whoosh ~"
Holding the Wicked Bead in his hand, Lu Li flew back to the base camp with a group of warriors. He didn't talk to Zi Lian and the others because he didn't have the time to calm them down. All he wanted was to go to the Central Plains at once.
The entrance to the Inferno was sealed by Ke Mang with powerful Inhibition Formations. It took Ke Mang the time for three incense sticks to burn to open up the passageway.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li dashed into the passageway and entered the Deserted World. At the Deserted World, Lu Li was afraid to let the Earth Immortal Realm warriors out for fear that something might go wrong.
He teleported to the passageway to the Serenity Plains with a group of warriors. He waved his hand and told Ke Mang to open up the passageway.
"Young Master, let me go!"
Ming Yu was afraid that the passageway to the Serenity Plains was guarded by powerful warriors. He wanted to be the first to explore the way for Lu Li.
Lu Li shook his head. He let Leng Wuxin out and asked her to be the vanguard.
Lu Li took out some warning jade talismans and gave them to Ke Mang and Leng Wuxin. Leng Wuxin was the first to rush in. A moment later, a jade talisman in Lu Li's hand cracked. Waving his hand, Lu Li said, "Ming Yu, it is safe over there. Let's go.
Ke Mang, seal off the passageway after we go. Seal off the towering mountain at the Inferno with formations of destruction as well. "
"Whoosh ~"
Lu Li and Ming Yu dashed into the passageway and teleported to the Serenity Plains.
As soon as they arrived, Lu Li sent out an Earth Immortal Realm warrior from the Wicked Bead.
"Buzzing ~"
A Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior came out. He looked around in confusion but did not feel uncomfortable.
Lu Li stared at him and asked with excitement, "Uncle Nine of the Jun Family, are you alright?
Is there a limit to your strength here? "
Uncle Nine of the Jun Family blinked. He mobilized Xuan Energy and shook his head. "I am fine."
"Okay!"
Lu Li sent out the other Earth Immortal Realm warriors. They were all fine. Both Lu Li and Ming Yu were cheered up. Ming Yu was confused but it was not appropriate for him to ask.
Lu Li did not try to hide anything. He took the Earth Immortal Realm warriors and Leng Wuxin into the Wicked Bead and explained, "They are all my soul slaves and they are under my command."
"Soul slaves? Hiss ~"
Ming Yu gasped. Even though he had guessed something, he still found it hard to believe when Lu Li said it out loud.
"Let's go!"
A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li's eyes. He said coldly, "This time, I will make the four families pay in blood."
"Let's go ~"
Ming Yu took the lead and flew out with Lu Li following him. When they were out, they saw a high-level formation of illusion. It must have been built by Lu Ling.
That being said …
Even if there was a formation of illusion, powerful warriors of the four families at the Serenity Plains or the Clouds Plains could easily find this place. How come this place was not occupied?
"Let's go to the nearby cities first!"
Lu Li used Shrink Skill to transform himself into a different person. He put Ming Yu into the Wicked Bead and the bead flew toward the nearby cities.
In the time for three incense sticks to burn, Lu Li arrived at a big city.
Lu Li was familiar with the route to the Central Plains. If the city had not fallen, he could teleport to the coastal city and then to the Central Plains. This was the fastest way.
Arriving at the city, Lu Li used psychic power to check. He didn't see any warriors of the four families. But he could see traces of a fierce battle in the city.
Lu Li put away the bead, transformed himself into a different person using Shrink Skill and flew down. He hadn't reached the Human Sovereign Realm yet but he had reached the peak of the Noble Lord Realm. He was so powerful that he caught the attention of the warriors in the city.
The city was not a large one. There were only two Noble Lord Realm warriors. Lu Li flew down directly to the mansion. The two seemed to be from the Palace of Sun and … they were Lu Ling's slaves.
"Qu Family?"
Lu Li's eyes glowed when he saw the two. Their slaves were still alive, which meant that Lu Ling was still alive.
He shouted at once, "Are you Saintess's slaves?"
"Saintess?"
The two Noble Lord Realm warriors looked at each other. They bowed and cupped their fists. One of them said, "Lord, we are indeed Saintess's slaves. May I ask who you are …"
"I am Lu Li!"
Lu Li's bones moved and he changed back to his original appearance. The two got down on one knee and said, "State Councilor."
"Good!"
Lu Li was relieved. The two were Lu Ling's slaves. She was still alive.
