After Lu Li was born, his father went missing. Lu Li and Lu Ling depended on each other.
Lu Ling was both his sister and his mother. His affection for Lu Ling was more than anything else. Lu Ling was everything to him.
Lu Ling also lost her parents when she was four years old, but she had to endure all kinds of hardships to bring Lu Li up. She also had to defend against the open and covert attacks in the tribe and endure the humiliation of the people in the tribe.
Lu Ling had suffered too much over the years. She had done too many things for Lu Li. Lu Li could never repay her in this lifetime.
Apart from the time when Lu Ling went missing for a few days when he was 10 years old, Lu Li had never been separated from Lu Ling for long.
Lu Li swore to himself that he would find Lu Ling and become a powerful warrior. He would protect Lu Ling for the rest of her life. He would never let her suffer again, get hurt or shed a tear.
At this moment, he swore to himself that he would find Lu Ling and become a powerful warrior. He would protect Lu Ling for the rest of her life. He would never let her suffer again, get hurt or shed a tear.
…
Looking at Lu Li's determined face, Liu Yi sighed. She wanted to say something but she couldn't bear to hurt him.
How could it be so easy to reach the Eternal Realm?
Her grandpa could not even cast a Fate Wheel or reach the Fate Wheel Realm in his entire life, let alone the Eternal Realm.
What was more, even if Lu Li could reach the Eternal Realm, could he find Lu Ling?
Liu Yi had heard about the Palace of Goddess. It was one of the top forces of the Cyan Plains with many powerful warriors. How could the Palace of Goddess suppress warriors of the Eternal Realm so easily?
Liu Yi said nothing and so did Lu Li.
Little White looked at Lu Li for a bit. Seeing that he was fine, it curled up next to Lu Li and went back to sleep.
After an hour, Lu Li opened his eyes. He looked at Liu Yi and asked, "Do you have water?
Also … where are we going now? "
The wheels were rolling and the chariot was bumping. Lu Li knew without looking that he was on the chariot.
Liu Yi poured him a glass of water and helped him sit up. She gave him some water and then explained, "We are heading towards the south, to the Thousand-island Lake."
Lu Li felt his mouth was not so dry after he drank some water. He asked with a frown, "Where is the Thousand-island Lake?
Why are we going to the Thousand-island Lake? "
Liu Yi's eyes dimmed. She said bitterly, "If we don't go to the Thousand-island Lake, we will all die. Only by going there can we save our lives."
Liu Yi told Lu Li about what happened that night. Lu Li got the gist of it, but he still couldn't understand why they had to go to the Thousand-island Lake. He asked, "Isn't the Thousand-island Lake at the Northern Desert?
If we were at the Northern Desert and the Yu Family sent some strong warriors here, wouldn't they be finished as well? "
"In the Northern Desert!"
Liu Yi said with certainty, "But not even the three Royal Families, let alone the Yu Family, dare to send anyone to the Thousand-island Lake.
There is a rule at the Thousand-island Lake. Anyone from a Super Family that dares to go in will be killed without exception! "
Lu Li raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Who made this rule?"
"The Old Man of Heaven Prison, the King of the Thousand-island Lake!"
Liu Yi said with admiration, "The Old Man of Heaven Prison appeared at the Thousand-island Lake 2000 years ago and set this rule. For more than 2000 years, this rule has never been broken."
Lu Li finally understood why the Liu Family fled to the Thousand-island Lake after Liu Yi's detailed explanation.
The Thousand-island Lake was located in the middle of the Northern Desert, at the common border of the Heaven Martial Kingdom, the Heaven Cold Kingdom and the Heaven Frigid Kingdom.
The lake was huge, 10 times larger than the Wu Ling County. There were more than a thousand big islands in the lake and countless small islands. Therefore, it was named the Thousand-island Lake.
Since it was at the common border of the three kingdoms, it was a lawless area. It had always been a paradise for wandering warriors.
After the Old Man of Heaven Prison went to the Thousand-island Lake 2000 years ago, the Thousand-island Lake became a paradise that was independent of the three kingdoms.
There were countless counties and countless Families at the Northern Desert. Every day, the battle of that night at the Wu Ling County would play out.
Every day, countless Families were destroyed and hunted down.
Those warriors whose Families were destroyed had nowhere else to run to. Eventually, they all swarmed to the Thousand-island Lake.
Because!
The Thousand-island Lake was absolutely safe. There were rules there. Even though there were killings everywhere, at least the Big Families of the three kingdoms dared not to go in and hunt.
Many warriors killed and robbed, or were hunted down after they killed disciples of Big Families. In the end, they all fled to the Thousand-island Lake.
The Thousand-island Lake was getting stronger and stronger. In recent years, it seemed that the Thousand-island Lake would become the fourth most powerful force at the Northern Desert.
The three Royal Families once sent out troops and even joined hands to invade the Thousand-island Lake. Eventually, they all failed on the verge of success and had to retreat with heavy losses.
Because there was the Old Man of Heaven Prison, an old man who had lived for more than 2000 years and had amazing abilities.
Nobody knew the real abilities of the Old Man of Heaven Prison. But many people knew that on the Warlord List of the Northern Desert, the Old Man of Heaven Prison ranked No. 3, above the Family Patriarchs of the three Royal Families.
The Thousand-island Lake was a paradise for criminals, a paradise for adventurers, and a home for wandering warriors. It was also one of the most dangerous places at the Northern Desert.
Lord Yu would destroy the Liu Family sooner or later. Even if the Liu Family could escape to the Heaven Frigid Kingdom or the Heaven Cold Kingdom, it was still not safe. Lord Yu could easily send a powerful warrior to destroy the Liu Family. Therefore, they had to escape to the Thousand-island Lake.
"Grandpa Seven used to know an Island Owner of the Thousand-island Lake. This time, at least we will have a place to stay. Let's hide for a while and see what happens next..."
Liu Yi said the last sentence. Her eyes lost their light again. The former Overlord of the Wu Ling County was now running away like a stray dog with an uncertain future.
At the peak of its power, the Liu Family had three warriors of the Soul Pond Realm. Liu Rufeng had a great chance to reach the Fate Wheel Realm.
Now, the Liu Family didn't have one warrior of the Soul Pond Realm, and there were only more than 20 warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm. The Liu Family had become a Second-rank Family, a weak one at that.
Liu Yi could see no hope, no future for the Liu Family.
Maybe, even if they went to the Thousand-island Lake, the Liu Family would still end up being annexed by other families or forces and completely sink into oblivion...
Liu Yi sat on the chariot with sadness. Lu Li said nothing. He began to think about his own path.
Previously, he and Lu Ling wanted to escape to the Heaven Martial City, find a way to join a Fifth-rank Royal Family, teleport to the Central Plains and go back to the Lu Family.
Now, it seemed that this way was impossible. Lu Ling must have something to do with the death of Yu Hen and Zhao Xi.
With Lord Yu's ability, he must have found out everything about Lu Li and Lu Ling. If Lord Yu could not catch up with Ghost Snake Granny, he would try his best to kill Lu Li and the Liu Family to vent his anger.
After thinking about it …
Lu Li realized that he had to go to the Thousand-island Lake with the Liu Family and hide there for a while.
Only when Lord Yu forgot about the Liu Family and himself could he find a way to join the three Royal Families and find his sister.
"Alas …"
His parents were still at the bottom of the Ice Abyss, and Lu Ling was taken to the Cyan Plains. Lu Li found his path was getting more and more difficult.
"No matter how difficult it is, I have to go!"
After a while, Lu Li's eyes became more determined. He had the Silver Dragon Bloodline, Little White, and he was a descendant of the Lu Family. He was talented.
As long as he could find Lu Ling and save his parents, he would be willing to suffer any hardships and sufferings.
He wanted to become stronger, stronger. He would not stand by and watch Lu Ling being taken away by others!
