“Yes!”
The old warriors’ wrinkled face was twitching as he nodded. “Yes, his name is Lu Renhuang. Is he your brother?”
“No, he is my father…”
Lu Li touched his nose in embarrassment. “Do you know where my father is now? This is what I wanted to ask you about.”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
The old warrior burst into laughter and stroked his long beard. “I didn’t know that you are his son. Hiss, you two are really extraordinary. I started to notice him when your father first came to the Prison of Ice. He was at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm but soon, he reached the Semi-God Realm. Last time I met him, which was not long ago, he had reached the peak of Semi-God Realm, stronger than me. I exclaimed that the younger generation would always surpass the older. Today, I met you. I don’t know what to say now…”
During the past few years, Lu Renhuang had been progressing continuously, which had already amazed the old warrior. But Lu Renhuang’s son was even more powerful and could send Yan Zhen to his death. The old warrior felt confused. Had the world been changing, or had he been too useless?
“I am flattered!” Lu Li said, humbly.
“I haven’t asked your name yet. Do you know where my father is?” He asked.
The old warrior replied apologetically, “I will not let you know my real name because I am too ashamed. Now, my courtesy name is Sky Questioner. I don’t know where your father is. He always wanders around the Prison of Ice alone and challenges powerful warriors. At first, he was usually defeated. But his defense was strong, and he was fast, so he could run away every time. Now… I don’t think many can win against him in the Prison of Ice.”
“Well”
Lu Li was surprised. How strong Lu Renhuang had become. He challenged powerful warriors all around the Prison of Ice. Those that could cultivate in the Prison of Ice should be at the Semi-God Realm, at least. It was already a miracle that Lu Renhuang could survive.
Lu Renhuang’s full potential must have been stimulated in the rounds after rounds of life-and-death struggles, which lead to his fast development. When one was in constant danger, one would be motivated and achieve sudden epiphanies. It was understandable that one would advance by leaps and bounds in such cases.
“Thank you very much!”
Lu Li cupped his fists and asked another question, “Is your family related to the families in the nine universes?”
Lu Li was going to wipe out many families. Since this old warrior was an acquaintance of Lu Renhuang, Lu Li had to take his family, if there were any, into consideration.
The old warrior shook his head. “No. My family was extinguished a long time ago. I am all by myself now. If I cannot become an immortal, I am ready to make the Prison of Ice my burial ground.”
Lu Li was relieved to hear this. He bid farewell to the old man and flew away in the Wicked Bead in a blur.
After he left, the old man stood on the ice lake for a long time, puzzled. Lu Li was so young and had made such achievements. The old warrior was having self-doubt. What was the point of him staying in closed-door cultivation?
Lu Li pressed on. This time, he sped up to the maximum. Since Lu Renhuang would go around and challenge other warriors, then he would not stay in one location. Asking around would not be that helpful. Lu Li thought he might just as well look around and rely on the fast traveling of the Wicked Bead.
“Well… He Yue, send out some subsidiary bodies to look for him.” Lu Li said.
He Yue set to work quickly. When she sent out tens of thousands of subsidiary bodies, Lu Li sent them out of the Wicked Bead, and He Yue controlled their directions.
In a bit over two hours, Lu Li met two more elder warriors. They seemed to be a married couple.
When Lu Li was flying over a huge snow mountain, the ice on the cliff suddenly cracked. Then, an aged man and woman came out.
“Well? My dear, this seems to be a Relic.”
The old lady was at the Semi-God Realm, but only the initial stage. Her face was not wrinkled, and she did not have any age pigments. Instead, her cheeks were rosy. It could be said that she was quite a stunning beauty when she was young.
The old man stood up straight, wearing a white robe which gave him a graceful look. Though he was old, he must be quite handsome when he was young.
He looked at the Wicked Bead with glowing eyes. “Is this the Wicked Bead? Is it you in there, Lu Li?”
Lu Li stopped the Wicked Bead. He could not leave when someone had addressed him by his name. He replied, “Yes, I am Lu Li. And you are?”
“Well, well!”
The old lady with white hair and a youthful complexion said with pleasant surprise, “My dear, this is the guy that killed the bastard Yan Zhen you told me about? Please, come on out. We need to thank you.”
“Lu Li, don’t be nervous!”
The white-robed old man said with a kind smile, “We are friends, not enemies. I am Feng Aoxue and this is my wife, Mei Ting. The Yan Family is our mortal enemy. You have avenged us by killing Yan Zhen.”
Lu Li could feel their sincerity. He was not afraid that the old couple would harm him in a secret way. He came out from the Wicked Bead at once.
The purple armor emerged. Lu Li answered with a smile, “This is too much. I killed Yan Zhen because our hatred is deep-seated. Either he died or I would have to die.”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Looking at the purple armor, the old man was sure that Yan Zhen was gone. The old man laughed and then bowed to Lu Li together with the old lady. He said sincerely, “Lu, please accept our respect. We are grateful that you have finished Yan Zhen. In the future, if needs be, come here and find us.”
Lu Li could not stop them, so he accepted the gracious gesture. After some thoughts, he said, “Later, I will try to break down the Divine Imperial City and wipe out the Yan Family. If you want revenge, come with me.”
“Eh?”
Feng Aoxue and his wife looked at each other, shocked. The old lady asked with delight, “Lu, are you sure you can breach the Divine Imperial City? That is a Relic. Not even an immortal can do it.”
Feng Aoxue added, “Right. Back in the days, several immortals tried to break down the Divine Imperial City, which turned out to be a wild goose chase. Lu, are you sure you can do it?”
“No!”
Lu Li shook his head. “Where there’s a will, there is a way. How can you know if you don’t try? There is nothing to lose, anyway, right?”
“Okay!”
Feng Aoxue said after some thought, “Sure, Lu, you are so heroic, and we have to follow your lead. When you take actions, we will hurry over. The Yan Family killed my wife’s entire family. If we can wipe out the Yan Family, we will forever support you.”
“Yes, he is right~”
The old lady nodded, excitedly. “We will be indebted to you forever if we can finish the Yan Family and avenge my family.”
“This is too much!”
Lu Li did not think too much of it. He once had slaves at the Semi-God Realm. Given his abilities, not even a group of warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm could do him much help. That being said, it was always better to have two Semi-God Realm helpers to strike the Yan Family.
Lu Li discussed with the couple and asked about Lu Renhuang. The answer he heard was the same as before.
Lu Renhuang once challenged the couple. The first time, he failed and fled. The second time he came, he won against both of them on his own.
However, the couple did not know where Lu Renhuang was either. He had always been walking around in the Prison of Ice, challenging others and never stopped…
