Tat, tat, tat!
In just an hour, more than 30 chariots rushed out of the south gate of the Wu Ling County.
Patriarch Seven was a cruel man. He only asked someone to pack up the important belongings of the Liu Family and then left the county with the remaining 300 people.
Before the war, the Liu Family sent all the women and children to several secret strongholds to hide. There were two or three thousand people in total.
If the two or three thousand women and children were to be taken with them, it would take many days and they would not be able to travel fast. More than 100 chariots were a bigger target. It was more likely that they would be caught up.
Ghost Snake Granny killed warriors of the four Families in front of Lord Yu. She also killed Yu Hen and Zhao Xi. In the end, Lord Yu had to run away.
It was easy to imagine how angry Lord Yu was right now. He would go back and ask the Family Patriarch and powerful warriors to hunt down Ghost Snake Granny at once.
However, Ghost Snake Granny was on an Iron-armored Ship. How fast was it?
Lord Yu might not be able to catch up with her.
Once that happened, he would have nowhere to vent his anger. Lord Yu would turn his attention to the Liu Family. By then, the Liu Family would be completely wiped out …
Therefore, in order to protect the Liu Family, Patriarch Seven had to leave the old, the weak, the women and the children behind.
As long as they could run away, Lord Yu would not target the old, the weak, the women and the children. After all, his reputation was not good.
As for whether the surviving forces of the four Families would seek revenge or kill the women and children who were hiding, it was all up to fate.
The more than 30 chariots rushed through the night and soon disappeared in the vast mountain path. All the chariots were pulled by two Silver Wolves. They were fast. After one night, they should have been more than 30 miles away.
Before Patriarch Seven left, he asked someone to set a fire and doused the entire Liu Family Compound with black oil.
At the moment, the entire Liu Family Compound was on fire. The fire was so fierce that half of the sky was dyed red.
Because of the hasty escape, many things could not be taken with them. They had to get to the Thousand-island Lake as soon as possible and they could not take too many treasures and Mystical Materials with them.
In order to prevent the surviving forces of the four Families from getting them, Patriarch Seven had to burn them.
The entire Wu Ling County was in chaos. The Liu Family had run away and all the powerful warriors of the four Families were killed. It was impossible for the county to be peaceful.
Many External Clan warriors of the four Families who were lucky enough to survive began to rob the treasures of the four Families.
Some small families also got involved. Inevitably, a chaotic fight broke out in the Wu Ling County. The Wu Ling County, which was already covered with dead bodies, was going to become a city of corpses tonight.
…
It was getting brighter. The chaos in the Wu Ling County was almost over. All the wealth accumulated by the four Families over the years was looted.
The Outer Hall martial artists of the various clans who had participated in the robbery, as well as some small clans, had all fled.
The fire in the Liu Family Compound was put out. The huge Liu Family Compound, which used to be the most luxurious compound in the city, had become a piece of scorched earth.
There were corpses everywhere in the city, and the water in the ditches was blood red.
Many citizens in the city were killed by mistake. Even though the chaos had ended at daybreak, many ordinary citizens were still terrified and did not dare to walk around in the city.
More and more people began to flee, distancing themselves from this corpse city.
In just one night, the bustling Wu Ling County had undergone a drastic change.
But this kind of situation was very common in the Northern Desert. It happened in cities all the time. That was the rule of the Northern Desert.
…
On a mountain road hundreds of miles to the southwest of the Wu Ling County, 30 chariots were still running.
Nothing happened that night. The chariot was hundreds of miles away from the Wu Ling County, but that didn't mean it was safe. It would never be safe until they arrived at the Thousand-island Lake.
There were only more than 30 chariots. Therefore, more than 10 people had to squeeze into one chariot. Many warriors of the Liu Family were crammed into the chariots with sadness on their faces, as if they had lost their souls.
More warriors had injuries of different degrees. Even though they were bandaged and had taken healing pellets, the bumpy mountain road would reopen their wounds. Every now and then, they would moan in pain.
Lu Li was in the third chariot. There were only him and Liu Yi in this one. The road was bumpy, but Lu Li had been in a coma. His injuries were too serious.
All the bones in his chest were broken, and his internal organs were cracked. He was wearing Zhao Rui's Earth Grade Xuan Artifact armor. Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago.
Little White was lying next to Lu Li, sleeping soundly. Liu Yi did not know what kind of beast it was. She thought it was Lu Li's pet.
Since she had been following Lu Li, she brought Little White with her.
Liu Yi sat on the side. Her hair was messy, and there were mud stains on her face and clothes. She had lost the grace and bearing of a lady of the Liu Family.
She sat on the chariot with her back against the window. There was no spirit in her eyes. Her body was swaying along with the chariot, like a walking corpse.
Patriarch Seven and the others dared not to be careless. There were several Patriarchs of the Spirit Sea Realm probing about 25 miles in front and behind them. In case they ran into pursuers or were intercepted by warriors, they could warn them in advance.
Patriarch Seven and the others' worries were unnecessary. Nothing happened last night, and nothing happened during the next two days. They didn't find any pursuers.
Lord Yu's Family was far away from the Wu Ling County. It would take him some time to get back.
Even if he did, the Yu Family would send out powerful warriors to hunt down Ghost Snake Granny. Why would they care about the small Liu Family in such a short time?
On the third day, the Liu Family's chariot had covered more than 1500 miles. Traveling day and night, the Silver Wolves were so fast.
At dusk, Lu Li woke up!
Liu Yi fed him several high level healing pellets. The animal tooth pendant in the Xuan Artifact armor had been glowing, increasing the efficacy of the pellets to the extreme.
In three days, Lu Li's wounds had recovered a lot. His cracked internal organs were healing quickly, and his broken bones were recovering as well.
Lu Li opened his eyes and looked at the shaking roof of the chariot in confusion. After a moment, he regained some spirit.
He looked to the side and saw Liu Yi sleeping on the side. Little White was also sleeping soundly next to him.
Lu Li said nothing. He closed his eyes and tried to sort out his thoughts. Recalling what happened that night, he showed pain and worry on his face.
"Sis ~"
He murmured. Remembering how Lu Ling was burnt to a crisp, he felt as if his heart was being twisted by a knife. Then he remembered that Lu Ling was taken away and her life was uncertain. He didn't even know if they would have the chance to see each other again. His heart ached even more, bursts of pain.
"Poof …"
There was extravasated blood in his body. While he was thinking about it, he was so angry that he spat it out, which alarmed Liu Yi.
Liu Yi saw the blood on Lu Li's face. He looked ferocious and his chest was heaving up and down. She hurriedly asked, "Lu Li, how are you?"
"Squeak, squeak ~"
Little White was startled awake. It looked at Lu Li with worry in its small eyes and licked Lu Li's palm.
Lu Li took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. He opened his eyes and asked, "Who took my sister away?
Where did they take my sister? "
Liu Yi was relieved to see that Lu Li was calming down. She explained, "It is Ghost Snake Granny from the Palace of Goddess at the Cyan Plains. They must have gone back to the Cyan Plains.
Lu Li, don't worry. The Palace of Goddess is powerful. Your sister will be fine. "
"Where is the Cyan Plains?" Lu Li thought about it and asked again, "How long will it take to get to the Cyan Plains from here?"
"You … cannot go!"
Liu Yi shook her head and sighed, "At least not for the time being. The Cyan Plains is at the southeast of the Northern Desert, separated by the Evil Ghost Sea.
Without reaching the Eternal Realm and without taking Teleportation Formations or Iron-armored Ships, you cannot go to the Cyan Plains. "
"Eternal Realm?"
