Lu Li had no idea what was going on out there. Little White had recovered from its injury and didn’t need to be fed with Divine Sources any more. Though Little White was still in a coma, Lu Li felt he didn’t have to worry. Therefore, he had been focused on studying Inhibition Formations.
Lu Li had been studying for a while and the field of focus was on formations of illusion. In this regard, he had been making fast progress. He could tell that it would not be hard for him to get past this level once he finished reading all the books on formations of illusion.
Blood Fairy had been consuming energy for three months. Maybe, the Crystal of Icy Soul simply contained too much energy or maybe, Blood Fairy just needed more time to absorb the energy. Either way, she never communicated with Lu Li.
Lu Li kept on reading the books since he had heard no update from Blood Fairy.
Another twenty days later, something happened. A disciple from Cabinet of Cloud hurried over and reported to Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess with great delight, “Young Master Shi’er, Holy Princess, our Young Master Fei is about to solve the Inhibition Formation and move on to the next level. He told me to let you know that if you want to go, then do it now. Once we are out, the Inhibition Formations will soon recover.”
“Really?”
Holy Princess and Lou Shi’er were astonished. They could not tell if this was true. Did Ling Feidu really have some unique methods to crack Inhibition Formations?
“Wow~”
The others from the Palace of Snow Mountain and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle were excited. They had been stuck at this level for a long time, after all. When they got past this level, they could be teleported out of the Tomb of King Luna. Nobody wanted to be stuck here for a thousand years. For all of them, one thousand years were too much time.
“Guys, it is pressing. If you want to go, follow me. If you don’t, you are welcome to stay here.”
The disciple of Cabinet of Cloud said impatiently since nobody moved. He pretended that he was about to leave. Disciples of Pavilion of Misty Drizzle stopped him and turned to Lou Shi’er who was the leader and the order had to come from him.
Lou Shi’er slapped the Wicked Bead. Lu Li was alerted and came out from the Wicked Bead.
Lou Shi’er whispered to Lu Li about the situation. The latter frowned. Could Ling Feidu really solve the Inhibition Formation? Did he have some special artifacts?
“Brother Lu, how about we go and check it out together?” Lou Shi’er was asking for Lu Li’s opinion.
“No!”
Lu Li shook his head after some thought. “Guys, you go ahead. I will stay here.”
Holy Princess blinked. “Young Master Lu, it’s okay. I don’t think Young Master Ling is that mean. We will talk some sense into him.”
Lu Li still gave a hard no. He did not believe that Ling Feidu could crack Inhibition Formations. More importantly, Lu Li himself had ways to solve Inhibition Formations. Why would he butter others up when he could solve the problem on his own?
“Are you going or not? I am out of here!”
The disciple from the Cabinet of Cloud once again said impatiently. The other disciples of the Palace of Snow Mountain and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle were becoming agitated as well. They began to pressure Holy Princess and Lou Shi’er.
“Fine~”
Lou Shi’er patted Lu Li’s shoulders. “Brother Lu, we will go and have a look. If there is anything worth noticing, we will come and find you at once.”
Holy Princess nodded to Lu Li. Then with her fellow disciples and Lou Shi’er’s team, they hurried into the distance with the disciple from the Cabinet of Cloud.
“Blood Fairy!”
Lu Li stood there for a while, thinking. Afterward, he communicated with Blood Fairy who replied, “Yes, master!”
“Are you still consuming energy from the Crystal of Icy Soul?” Lu Li asked in wonder. It had been almost four months. Blood Fairy should have done now.
“I am about to finish!”
Blood Fairy sounded a bit thrilled. “But, master, afterward, I may fall asleep for a few days. I believe… I can evolve.”
“Alright!”
Lu Li was pleased. If Blood Fairy could evolve, then probably, Blood Fairy could crack the formation of illusions of this level and he didn’t need to do anything.
“Well, I should set up a few small formations.”
Lu Li took out some formation stones and threw them around. He could not build any grand formations but some small ones he could do. Otherwise, he would have been reading so many books collected by Tian Lingzi for nothing.
Those small formations would not do much other than the fact that they would be triggered once someone came into the area. Lu Li could know at once.
He went back into the Wicked Bead and let it take the shape of a rock. He parked the Wicked Bead on top of a pile of rocks. In this way, the Wicked Bead would be less obvious. One must look carefully to find it.
Lu Li continued to read. Blood Fairy was about to evolve, which had boosted his confidence. With him and the Blood Fairy working together, chances were that they could solve the Inhibition Formations.
Lu Li kept on cultivating. However, in merely three days, he was alerted. The formation he built outside was triggered. He had thought Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess had come back. He used psychic power to check, only to find someone he did not expect.
Ling Feidu!
There were many people out there. In total, there must be twenty and all were from the Cabinet of Cloud. Each one of them was seized with murderous intent.
“Oh, I see…”
At that moment, Lu Li felt he could connect the dots. He had had doubts that Ling Feidu could solve Inhibition Formations.
He was right. Ling Feidu solving Inhibition Formations was the part of a plot to lure Lou Shi’er, Holy Princess and others away.
Ling Feidu was going to kill Lu Li!
Ling Feidu wanted the Bloodvine, the Wicked Bead, and Lu Li’s life to vent his anger.
“What to do?”
Lu Li wondered. He communicated with Blood Fairy at once but she gave no reply. She must be in deep sleep.
Over twenty people were here!
Lu Li wished it was just Ling Feidu. In that case, Lu Li could use the warlord skeleton Qing Wujin. If he could use all of the five Blood Crystals, Lu Li was fairly certain that he could kill Ling Feidu.
However, with over twenty people here, Lu Li felt troubled. Once he killed Ling Feidu, he must murder the others to silence them.
If those people were to escape or to send messages back to the Cabinet of Cloud via some special means, Lu Li would become the target of the entire Cabinet of Cloud.
Being hunted down by one of the 72 sects?
It was not just God of Wings or Yan Tiangang. Lu Li had heard that the 72 sects were much stronger than the usual prefecture forces. Lu Li could escape to the end of the world and he still would be found and killed.
On the other hand, if he did not take action, Ling Feidu would not let him off the hook. Ling Feidu probably would start attacking the Wicked Bead soon and he would murder Lu Li. Was he expected to accept such fate just because of the risk of being hunted down by the Cabinet of Cloud?
“Bang!”
The Wicked Bead trembled. Lu Li sensed that Ling Feidu and the group had come. Ling Feidu had used his halberd to strike the Wicked Bead.
“I should wait till Blood Fairy wakes up!”
Lu Li checked the energy of the Wicked Bead. If the twenty-some people were not exerting full force, then the Wicked Bead should be able to hold on for about half a month. By then, Blood Fairy would have woken up.
When she did, and she could have some ways to trap the twenty-some people, Lu Li decided he would take action and finish Ling Feidu and the entire group of over twenty people.
