Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess led their teams toward southeast while Lu Li followed them, keeping a distance. On the way, he was still contemplating how Blood Fairy solved the formations.
He had some confidence that he could solve the formations of this level. He was going to resort to the same way as he did to the “Seven Sacrifices.” He would change the formations to disturb the system. The formations would be in conflict until they collapsed.
Blood Fairy’s method was even more special. Her tentacle was inside the formations. In other words, she was integrated with the formations. Then, she tried to locate the exit by sensing the reaction from the formations and then control the formations to open up the exit…
It went without saying that Blood Fairy’s way was more efficient. That being said, Lu Li could not learn because this was the inborn skill of a Bloodvine.
Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess found a glowing portal ahead of them in the desert after they hurried for hundreds of miles.
They looked at each other. Their admiration for Lu Li had grown. He had solved such a formation at such ease. If it were not for him, they would have stuck here for a thousand years.
“Let’s go!”
Lou Shi’er took the lead and stepped into the portal with Holy Princess following him. They dashed in and found themselves in a small hall.
“The exit!”
After checking, not only had they found a gate in the hall, but a Teleportation Formation. Based on the records they read, this Teleportation Formation can take them out of the Tomb of King Luna.
“Treasures!”
A female disciple soon noticed three items placed on the ground when she came into the hall.
There was a sword, a green wand, and a grey hide scroll.
There was some faint light over the sword and the wand. Inside, there seemed to be some runes glistening. Clearly, those must be top-grade Relics, if not supreme Relics.
Lou Shi’er dashed over and put them away. “Holy Princess, you choose one.” He said.
“Why just one?”
Some female disciples of the Palace of Snow Mountain mumbled but Holy Princess knew that Lou Shi’er wanted to save Lu Li one.
She did not refuse. “I will take the wand!”
Lou Shi’er gave it to her and put the other two items away without explaining anything. He glanced over others and said, “Holy Princess and I will teleport out. If you want to explore the other levels, you are welcome to do so. Whether you can survive and enjoy the glory will be up to your fate.”
Nobody dared to go further because the Tomb of King Luna was too dangerous. So many people had passed away and there was even a possibility that they could be stuck in the illusion for a thousand years. Till now, none of the disciples could figure out how Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess solved the formations. The reason was that their memory related to Lu Li had been cleared out by Holy Princess.
“If no one is heading to the next level, then let us get into the portal and leave.”
Lou Shi’er nodded to Holy Princess who stepped into the portal with disciples from the Palace of Snow Mountain. Amid flashes of white light, they disappeared from the hall one by one.
“Go ahead and wait for me outside!”
Lou Shi’er ordered those from the Pavilion of Misty Drizzle. The disciples were teleported out. When Lou Shi’er was alone, he took out the sword and the hide scroll. He did not read it but put it on the ground.
“Bang!”
He crushed a jade talisman before he stepped into the portal and vanished.
A moment later, the hall glowed as Lu Li came inside. He soon noticed the hide scroll. Now, Lu Li had accepted Lou Shi’er as his friend completely.
No matter how many items there were in the hall, Lou Shi’er did not take them all. Lu Li did not know what kind of skills were recorded on the hide scroll. Even if it were the weakest ones, the action of leaving the scroll here was proof that Lou Shi’er was a kind man.
Lu Li walked over and put away the hide scroll. He was in no mood to read it at the moment. He just waited quietly for Lou Shi’er’s signal.
…
Lou Shi’er and the others were out of the Tomb of King Luna. They were in a cave inside a valley. Just as Lou Shi’er had expected, there was a big crowd of at least a thousand people outside the valley.
“Ling Hong!”
Lou Shi’er noticed a middle-aged man at once. He was somewhat famous at southern Divinity, ranking top twenty thousand on the list. He was the representative of the Cabinet of Cloud and he was Ling Feidu’s father.
“Six mighty warriors. Cabinet of Cloud sure put much importance on this matter.”
Lou Shi’er was surprised when he saw the warriors next to Ling Hong. He was worried as well. Could the Cloaking Armor help Lu Li get away from them? Lu Li would not be able to leave here if he were noticed.
Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess looked at each other and they headed out toward the valley. The cave they were in was not spacious. Warriors of Cabinet of Cloud were currently outside the cave.
Lou Shi’er walked in front of everyone else. When he noticed those from the Cabinet of Cloud had the cave in a siege, he put on a grim face and said to Ling Hong, “Patriarch Ling, lords, nice to meet you. But why are you surrounding this place and not letting us out?”
Ling Hong put on a straight face but there was sorrow in the depth of his eyes. The other patriarch said nothing. Ling Hong answered coldly after a moment, “You from the Lou Family, my son is dead!”
“Ling Feidu is dead?”
Lou Shi’er acted surprised and so did disciples from Pavilion of Misty Drizzle and Palace of Snow Mountain. They did not know that Ling Feidu was killed and some of their memory was wiped out, hence, the astonishment.
Holy Princess was a good actress. Her eyes opened wide in shock and her jaw dropped. Even so, she was still that enchanting beauty that she was.
Lou Shi’er clasped his hands. “Patriarch Ling, I am sorry for your loss. The Tomb of King Luna is full of dangers and we lost many people there as well. It is such a shame that Brother Feidu had passed away in there when he was so young and talented.”
Ling Hong pulled a long face. Murderous intent rose around him as he bellowed, “If Feidu died because of the Tomb of King Luna, I would not be here. Feidu… was murdered. I have brought people with me so that we can find the murderer and avenge my son.”
“What~”
Ling Hong’s words surprised many people in the valley. Cabinet of Cloud sent over a team of hundreds and there were hundreds of others staying here for the drama. They had been discussing what was going on here. They had only found out now that Ling Feidu had been murdered.
“How is this possible?”
Lou Shi’er acted shocked. “Everyone knows Brother Feidu. Who could have the guts? Who could have killed a talented disciple from 72 sects? Patriarch Ling, you must get to the bottom of this to right this wrong for Brother Feidu.”
“Of course!”
Ling Hong looked at Holy Princess and Lou Shi’er coldly. “I am here to find the criminal. So… I am sorry but you have to tolerate this. I will detain anyone coming out from the Tomb of King Luna and I will search everyone’s soul until I find the murderer.”
“Soul searching?”
Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess were scared. Lu Li would be exposed as soon as their souls were searched.
