They had traveled so far. They could not go back.
What was more, if the passageway was destroyed, going back would be pointless. If it was not destroyed, they could go back to the Heaven Reverse Universe.
Lu Li took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. The Wicked Bead glowed and Ke Mang was teleported out.
He asked, "Ke Mang, if the passageway is destroyed, do you have a way back to the Heaven Reverse Universe?"
"Well …"
Ke Mang was troubled. How was he supposed to go back when there was no way back?
Was he supposed to break down the barriers and force his way in?
He did not know such a skill. Even if he did, was it possible?
Impossible!
Soon, Lu Li thought it through. He asked Zi Ji, "Zi Ji, are there many passageways connecting the Paleo-beast Realm to other universes?
Are there other passageways connecting to the Heaven Reverse Universe? "
Zi Ji's eyes glowed. A moment later, she said, "The passageway to the Heaven Reverse Universe is gone. But there is one to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos.
I heard from my mother that there is more than one. There are two or three. But … they are sealed! "
"Okay!"
Lu Li was relieved. As long as there was a passageway back, there would be hope.
Sealed?
Ke Mang's Inhibition Formations were powerful. It would not be hard for him to break the seal. Once they entered the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, they could go back easily.
"Great-grandpa, it's okay!"
Lu Li was relieved. "As long as we can enter the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, I can take you back to the Heaven Reverse Universe."
Lu Li sent Ke Mang and Zi Ji back and said, "If that passageway is destroyed, it means that the Blood Apes have discovered us or are suspicious.
So, Great-grandpa, please hurry up and take down the Nine-clawed Silver Dragon as soon as possible. Then, we can find a way back. "
"I know!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement nodded. Lu Li was restless. He could not cultivate in the Wicked Bead. He thought he might as well go with Patriarch of Law Enforcement. They could talk along the way and see if there was any other way.
"Great-grandpa, have you ever heard of a skill that can break down barriers between worlds?"
Lu Li asked along the way. Patriarch of Law Enforcement shook his head. "That is a shocking skill. Only someone like Emperor of Heaven Reverse can do it.
I have never heard of a chosen warrior with such a skill. Even if there were, it would be difficult for us. "
"En!"
Lu Li nodded and hurried on in silence. He was thinking about all kinds of situations in his mind, thinking about the worst-case scenario. He was not in a good mood.
"Eh?"
Dozens of thousands of miles later, Lu Li suddenly felt something was off. But when he checked with psychic power, he found nothing.
He thought he had sensed wrongly and continued to run for several hundred li. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
It was as if … there was an eye staring at them from behind.
"Great-grandfather!"
He approached the Law Enforcement Elder and whispered, "Do you feel like you're being watched?
I feel that something is not right, as if something is following us from behind. "
The Law Enforcement Elder was slightly startled, but he didn't stop walking. He used his Divine Sense to scan the area behind him. After scanning a few times, he shook his head and said, "No, I don't have this feeling, and I didn't find anything special."
"This is strange!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement's psychic power was much stronger than Lu Li's. Lu Li thought he was mistaken. However, he kept on running for dozens of miles and the feeling was still there.
He suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "Something's wrong. We're definitely being followed!"
Everyone had a sixth sense and an instinct. Lu Li's instinct told him that there was something behind him.
But why could he not sense it with psychic power?
Could it be that this thing was invisible?
"Invisible?"
A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li's eyes. From the depth of his eyes came out two silver dragons. A surge of beast energy came out from Lu Li and enveloped an area with a radius of several miles!
"I knew it!"
About a kilometer behind them, three small black dots suddenly fell from a big tree and crawled on the ground.
Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement checked with psychic power. Both were taken aback.
Those were three half-transparent bats, small in size, only the size of a thumb. Since they were invisible, Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not notice them with psychic power.
"We have been noticed. We have been being followed!" Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement looked at each other. Their faces were clouded.
Previously, they thought the possibility of the entrance being destroyed was 90%. But now, they were 100% certain.
The Paleo-beast Realm was aware of their arrival and had begun to set up a plan to kill them.
The Paleo-beast Realm had cut off their escape route and sent beasts to follow them!
When the bats flew, there was no ripple in space. There was no beast energy coming from them, but they were fast.
No wonder Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not notice them. If Lu Li did not have the might of a Beast God, he would not have noticed them.
It was pointless to dwell on these matters. Lu Li forced himself to calm down and began to think of a way out.
Judging from the three bats, there were many strange beasts in the Paleo-beast Realm. Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement might have to stay here forever.
Previously, Lu Li thought that he, Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Dragon Demon, and Little White could make a clean sweep of the Paleo-beast Realm. But now, he sensed danger.
Two million years ago, paleo-beasts dominated many universes. Even after the rise of the human race, paleo-beasts were not wiped out.
This meant that paleo-beasts must have something special. Many powerful beasts had unimaginably horrifying skills.
Lu Li said after a moment of thought, "Great-grandpa, we must capture a powerful Beast King or a beast that understands human language.
The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. If we do not figure out the paleo-beasts' situation, we will be like two blind men. We will fall into the enemy's trap. "
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was an experienced man who had been through many battles in his life. Naturally, he would not lose his composure. He thought about it and said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will emerge victorious. You are right. But won't we alert the enemy?"
"The snake is alarmed. We don't have to worry so much!"
Lu Li shook his head. If they did not figure out the situation in the Paleo-beast Realm, it would only get worse. They would not even know when they would fall into a trap.
"Okay!"
The Law Enforcement Elder thought about it and agreed. The current situation was already very bad. No matter how bad it was, could it be worse than the current situation?
"Let's go!"
Lu Li released several strands of sword qi which messed up the surroundings. "Accidentally", the sword qi swept over the three semi-transparent bats and killed them. Then, Lu Li flew away.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement used psychic power to check along the way. In two hours, they found a beast lair.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement used psychic power to check and said with certainty, "There is a herd of beasts up ahead. I don't think they are strong, but there must be Beast Kings, at least several of them.
Do you want to do it, or should I? "
"Let me!"
Lu Li said after some thoughts, "Later, I will use beast energy to suppress them. Great-grandpa, you keep an eye on the outside. Don't let any beasts escape.
Our whereabouts will be exposed sooner or later, but it is good to buy ourselves some time. "
"Sure!"
