The other Semi-God Realm warrior had run away. Lu Li didn’t bother to go after him anymore. Lu Li looked at the warrior kneeling in front of him and asked after some thought, “Why do you have to stop me? Did someone tip you off?”
The Wicked Bead was fast. Usually, nobody could have the time to react. Those warriors must have received information to wait here. Lu Li didn’t want to kill this warrior because he hoped to collect some information.
“Yes, my lord!”
The old warrior said with respect, “Lord, when you flew past Chang Feng’s territory, he was alerted and sent a message to us using a special means. The Yellow Wasp formed an alliance with the three of us to stop you. Lord… we are blind as rats. Please spare me.”
With that said, the warrior dropped his head. Lu Li did not know what to say. How did this old warrior reach the Semi-God Realm? He had no spine and no courage to forge ahead or the determination to face death unflinchingly. Did he survive the past crisis by kowtowing?
“Chang Feng? Not the Yan Family?”
Lu Li was shocked. He had thought that this was a trap set up by the Yan Family or they had sowed discord. Lu Li asked again, “You don’t know who I am?”
The old warrior shook his head, “I don’t know. Lord, I haven’t asked your name.”
Lu Li observed the old warrior’s emotions, and nothing was amiss. If this warrior was not a skilled actor, then he really had no idea who Lu Li was nor the story of the Wicked Bead.
Lu Li said, “I can spare your life, but you have to do one thing for me!”
“Yes, sure, of course!”
The old warrior was overjoyed. He lowered his head and hurried to say, “Lord, name it. I can do 10 things, not to mention one thing.”
“Hmm!” Lu Li snorted. “Don’t brag. If I want you to breach the Divine Imperial City, can you do that?”
The old warrior was embarrassed. He did not dare to say another senseless word anymore. Lu Li said, “Help me send a word to everyone that they should stop coveting my Wicked Bead. I can slay the Yan Family Patriarch, and I don’t mind killing some more. I will not show mercy to anyone who dares to stop me again. Tell all the warriors cultivating in the Prison of Primordial Chaos that I am Lu Li and do not mess with me!”
“The Wicked Bead, Lu Li!”
The old warrior’s pupils contracted as he shouted in surprise, “Lord, it is you? I am really sorry. Lord, thank you for not taking away my life.”
Many warriors cultivating in the Prison of Gold usually did not mind what was going on in the outside world, and they did not bother to pry into those matters on purpose. Nevertheless, Lu Li’s awe-inspiring reputation was learned by them. After all, many warriors sigh at the idea that Lu Li, and not them, could end the Yan Family Patriarch.
In the nine universes, power was the rule. Lu Li was admirable because of his abilities even though he was still young. The old warrior addressed Lu Li as “lord” with sincerity.
“Whoosh~”
Lu Li let the immortal’s body come back and flew away in the Wicked Bead. He didn’t want to waste time with the old warrior or to kill his way over.
Lu Li was always like this. He would not find trouble unless he was offended. But if he was provoked, he would fight till the end.
On his way forward, he alerted more warriors. But this time, nobody was there to intercept him. He flew on without a hitch.
After almost 10 hours, Lu Li realized that wherever the Wicked Bead was at, not only weren’t there any warriors trying to stop him, instead, they were running as soon as they saw the Wicked Bead.
It seemed that the old warrior had sent the message. Warriors in the Prison of Gold knew it was Lu Li and dared not to provoke him.
Flying in the Prison of Gold, Lu Li did not see many young warriors. The families must have called back their young warriors in case they were murdered by Lu Li.
There were many scouts lurking along the way. Lu Li’s psychic power was strong so he could easily notice the scouts that were hiding. He did not kill all of them. There were simply too many, and he didn’t bother.
Lu Li didn’t want to ask for trouble. He only wanted to go to the Prison of Gold. He was more than glad that nobody was there to harass him. He enjoyed this easy trip and arrived at the entrance to the Prison of Gold in three days.
“What? Here comes someone with courage!”
At the entrance to the Prison of Gold, Lu Li saw a white-eyebrowed old man from the distance, and that warrior was blocking the entrance to the Prison of Ice. Clearly, the warrior was waiting for him.
Lu Li stopped the Wicked Bead at the entrance to the Prison of Gold. He was only two miles away from the old man.
The old man twitched his white eyebrows and opened his eyes, which were not milky at all but sharp. He emitted great energy. Lu Li tried to sense it from inside the Wicked Bead. The white-eyebrowed old man should be at the peak of the Semi-God Realm.
The old man did not say anything or do anything. He only glared at the Wicked Bead. A moment later, Lu Li said, “What are you trying to achieve by blocking the way here?”
The white-eyebrowed old man raised his eyebrows and said, “Young man, I heard that you killed Yan Zhen? You have taken the two Relics of the Yan Family? Your Wicked Bead is a great Relic, isn’t it?”
“Making troubles?”
Lu Li’s mind was weighed down. He became unfriendly as well, “You are right on all fronts. What, you want the three Relics?”
“Don’t use such mean words!”
The old man stood up. He was hard-edged, sharp, like an unsheathed sword. He said, coldly, “Only those that are worthy can have Relics. Young man, you are too green. A person of high position is liable to be attacked. The precious stone lands, its innocent possessor in jail. Haven’t you heard of it? Hand the three Relics to me, and I will accept you as my protégé. I will make sure that you will face no difficulties in the nine universes. How about that? Well… I forgot to tell you this. I am called the Recluse of Eastern Cliff. Back in the day, I faced no enemies in the nine universes. Even the Yan Family will have to be polite to me…”
Lu Li didn’t want to listen any longer. He shook his head and sneered. Who did this Recluse of Eastern Cliff think he was? How dare this old warrior say he could take Lu Li as his protégé? Faced with no enemies in the nine universes? Then why didn’t he go and breach the Divine Imperial Universe, kill Yan Zhen and take away the Relics?
Lu Li didn’t bother to waste time with this warrior. He set the immortal’s body free and said, “Old man, you will only have the right to fight me when you can survive an attack from the immortal’s body. Words will not get you the Relics. Try and get it with your real skills.”
“Swish~”
The immortal’s body spread his wings and charged forward. He punched at Recluse of Eastern Cliff. The immortal’s body was remarkably and horrifyingly fast.
“Fine. Since you are so set in your ways, then let us fight.”
Recluse of Eastern Cliff said in a chilly tone. While he said those words, the immortal’s body had punched at Recluse of Eastern Cliff. Lu Li was surprised to see that Recluse of Eastern Cliff didn’t explode. Instead, he vanished gradually as if he was gone like a puff of wind.
“A shadow!”
Lu Li came to his senses soon. Recluse of Eastern Cliff was re-emerging behind the Wicked Bead. Recluse of Eastern Cliff took out a black bow and discharged over a dozen arrows.
“Swish~”
The immortal’s body turned around to Recluse of Eastern Cliff. When the former landed another fist on Recluse of Eastern Cliff, he went away in a puff of wind again and was completely gone.
“He is capable in his own right!”
Lu Li had been observing with psychic power and suddenly noticed a tremble in the space next to him. Recluse of Eastern Cliff himself appeared suddenly several miles away to the east of the Wicked Bead.
