The Feather Wind was growing stronger. Everyone was struggling to fight back the pain in their souls. They closed their eyes and bit their teeth, except for Lu Li who remained seated as if nothing was happening.
Even the Earth Immortal Realm warriors’ facial muscles were twitching. Lu Li wondered how strong the Feather Wind’s soul attacks could be.
Leng Wushang, Leng Wuxin, and Leng Buji seemed to have an easier time, while Leng Wumi was miserable. Sweat was running down from her forehead constantly. She pinched a corner of her dress and veins popped up from her head.
“My silver dragon mark can provide very powerful protection over my soul. It is so much better than the soul protection artifacts.”
Lu Li was delighted. Previously, not even the Great Patriarch of the Lu Family could search Lu Li’s soul. It was then when Lu Li had realized that the silver dragon mark could do wonders. He just didn’t know that the silver dragon could be so impressive.
The Feather Wind lasted for the time for one incense stick to burn before it came to an end. The two Earth Immortal Realm warriors were the first to open their eyes and they turned to Lu Li with shock at once.
“Phew, phew~”
Leng Wushang and the others opened their eyes one by one. After Leng Wumi was recovered as well, Leng Wushang asked, “Brother Lu, do you have a very strong soul protection? Or is it some skill you own? How come the Feather Wind doesn’t affect you?”
The others all stared at Lu Li with curiosity. He had already thought of an answer. With a grin, he replied, “My master once taught me a skill to protect my soul. Ha, ha.”
“Well…”
Everyone was interested. Lu Li could even sense some killing intent from the two Earth Immortal Realm warriors even though it was well hidden. Leng Wushang had the same idea as well. He wished he could take Lu Li down and grill him about the skill. However, Leng Wushang remembered Leng Tianhen’s order so he dismissed the idea.
Leng Wushang was not allowed to force Lu Li to do anything or else it would be the excuse for the old warriors from the Prison of Gold to ally together and attack the Leng Family. Lu Li’s knowledge of a soul protection skill was another testimony that he could be Blood Emperor’s apprentice.
“The Blood Emperor is a talent rarely seen!”
Leng Wushang exclaimed and put on a wider smile. Leng Wuxin expressed her surprise, which was delivered in a natural way and her attitude toward Lu Li turned gentler. Leng Wumi was looking at Lu Li with pure admiration.
They had already regarded Lu Li as the real apprentice of Blood Emperor considering the two skills Lu Li mastered. He was not a warrior that could create two such skills by himself. None of them had heard about the Rising Dragon Skill which was why they took it that it was the Blood Emperor that created the skill. After all, the Blood Emperor was known for his creation of strange skills.
Since nobody could use psychic power here, Lu Li was comfortable that he could lie. He enjoyed the change of attitude from others. The more Leng Wushang trusted him, the easier it would be for Lu Li to accomplish his goal.
They resumed their journey. From then on, Leng Wumi’s attitude became better and better. She might seem naïve and innocent, but no young lady born in a large family could be simple. She believed that if she could get the two skills from Lu Li, her status in the family would be greatly elevated, which could bring about more resources for her. Following that, she could have a better mastery over her own life.
Leng Wuxin still acted as a cold fox. She walked alone in the front, while Leng Wushang, Lu Li, and Leng Wumi stayed together. The three of them chatted and told Lu Li many things about the Forbidden Ground of Elder God.
They finally arrived at a big river after six hours. During that time, Lu Li obtained much information about the Forbidden Ground of Elder God.
The Forbidden Ground of Elder God was a vast area!
It was packed with maple trees. While in the woods, there would be no sense of orientation. Only when they came to the Heng River could they tell the direction.
The Forbidden Ground of Elder God contained many secret areas in which there were various amounts of marks of Profound Meanings and nature’s rhythms. The Forbidden Ground of Elder God had been in existence for many years. Many families had become familiar with the secret areas.
They walked down the river to get to a unique secret area where Xuan Qi was abound and marks of Profound Meanings and nature’s rhythms were many. It was a proper place for cultivation.
“There are no maple trees. Why don’t we fly along the river?”
Lu Li was confused as to the reason that they were still traveling on foot. Pointing to the river, Leng Wushang said, “Actually, there are invisible Inhibition Formations above the river. The Inhibition Formations can trigger Feather Winds. Once you fly up and come in contact with the Feather Wind, you will fall into the Heng River.”
Leng Wumi added, “Brother Lu, the creatures in the Heng River are strange. Not even Quasi Relics can protect your safety. So, do not fall into the Heng River.”
The Heng River was dull yellow in color and psychic power was cut off. Lu Li had no idea what kind of creatures were hidden in the waters. He opened his eyes wide and stared into the Heng River. He could faintly see some fish-like beings swimming.
“Danger is everywhere here.”
Lu Li exclaimed. He remembered all the special traits of the place. The Heng River could be used as a weapon for murder. He almost had the urge to push Leng Wushang into the river.
Of course, this was unrealistic. Leng Wushang had Quasi Relics. Even if Lu Li could make it work, he would be ripped open by Leng Wushuang and Leng Tianba.
The group moved on. Lu Li kept an eye out for the surroundings. He was not powerful enough to kill Leng Wushang by himself. He had to rely on external forces and leverage every situation favorable to him.
They had been on the way for an entire day. Now, they stopped, ready to encamp and rest. Leng Wumi and Leng Wuxin sprang to work. Lu Li took the initiative to offer some help as a chance to connect to Leng Wuxin and Leng Wumi.
Leng Wuxin still behaved politely, keeping her distance, while Leng Wumi grew clingier to Lu Li. The passion in her eyes made her look like a girl in love. Every casual glance from her contained lust.
“Don’t even think about going out with her or else… hmm!”
Leng Wuxin warned Lu Li when she finally found a chance to be alone with Lu Li. It was not strange that she would say this. Not even Leng Wushuang or Leng Tianba would find anything out of the ordinary.
But Lu Li heard something else from Leng Wuxin’s words. She was warning him—not to be fooled by Leng Wumi. Leng Wuxin knew her cousin too well. The girl seemed innocent, while she actually was a vixen. She played many young masters of the Leng Dynasty like a violin. Leng Wuxin was afraid that Lu Li would be lured by Leng Wumi and thereby jeopardize the mission.
But Lu Li was not a green hand in the realm of love. He had met more than one party girls. Madam Yan made several attempts to lure Lu Li but he had not surrendered once. He had strong resistance to temptation.
“Ha, ha, I only have Lady Wuxin in my heart.”
Lu Li ogled Leng Wuxin. By this action, he happened to see into her neckline. The coldness in her eyes scared Lu Li and he turned away instantly.
Leng Wuxin noticed Leng Tianba looking over from the corner of her eyes. She snorted and said, “Young Master Lu, you want to pursue me? Wait till you reach the Human Sovereign Realm. You are not qualified enough yet.”
“Okay!”
Lu Li also sensed Leng Tianba’s looks. Lu Li vowed solemnly, “I am born to be a lazy person, but I am willing to change that for Lady Wuxin. It’s just the Human Sovereign Realm, right? Give me a year and I will reach the realm, easily!”
“Ha, ha~”
Leng Wuxin left with a sneer. Leng Tianba, who was in a distance, had a sardonic grin on his face. As far as he could tell, Lu Li was asking for the moon. He was still at the Noble Lord Realm when he was already 18, and it was impossible that he could reach the Human Sovereign Realm within a year…
