Chapter 297: Freaky
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Eight people came out of the glowing Teleportation Formation at the Stream City with Ming Yu and Yu Huashen at the front and Du Ran and several patriarchs of the Du Family behind them.
They didn’t take Iron-armored Ships. Rather, they flew towards the southeast on their Beads of Life at once.
The Scream City was at the most southeast part on the territory of the Du Family. It would be the Qin Family territory beyond this city. Du Ran and the others were burning with anxiety. Even the Second Patriarch of the Du Family was here as well. They were all trying to stop Lu Li as soon as possible because endless trouble would ensue once they stepped on the territory of the Qin Family.
They were flying at their top speeds. In the time for merely one incense stick to burn, they had arrived at the area that Lu Li was spotted in the first place. Warriors had been here waiting to point the direction. One warrior of the Soul Pond Realm pointed to the east and said, “This way, my lords. There will be other warriors ahead showing the direction. Our men are still trying to stop the young man.”
Du Ran and the others nodded. The small family in the Stream City sure knew how to act. This would save them a lot of time in otherwise unnecessary questioning.
The eight of them went on. There were indeed warriors waiting to guide them along the way. The eight of them hurried on with no stop.
Du Ran frowned after they went on for the time for another four incense sticks to burn as he still saw no trace of Lu Li and the Coffin of the Dragon King, not to mention they were getting closer to Qin Family’s territory.
“Let’s go!”
Second Patriarch of the Du Family waved his hands and went on with the others. They must save Lu Li even if they had to offend the Qin Family or even went to war with them.
About 10 miles later, a group of Eternal Realm warriors suddenly rushed out. Du Ran and the others looked over. They grew anxious when they realized those warriors came from a family affiliated to the Qin Family.
“Lords!”
One of the warriors shouted from afar, “The nearby area has been cordoned off. The Qin Family has said that nobody can enter. Please accept our apologies.”
What made them worry had happened—Qin Family had found Lu Li and the Coffin of the Dragon King. Qin Family had sent out many warriors to stop Ming Yu and the others in an effort to pocket all the treasures in the coffin probably.
“F*ck off!”
Ming Yu didn’t think too much. He immediately used his Force to suppress others and he went through the crowds like a shooting star. Without any hesitation, Yu Huashen followed Ming Yu.
A glint of coldness appeared in the eye of the Second Patriarch of the Du Family, Du Bu. He waved his hand and said, “Let’s go. Fight anyone from the Qin Family that dare to stop us. But don’t kill them, though.”
The Second Patriarch of the Du Family was at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm. He was very powerful and he enjoyed quite an authority at the family. Since he gave out this order, the other patriarchs all went on without expressing disagreements.
The further they went, the more warriors there were to stop them. But those warriors were just average ones. They couldn’t even see Ming Yu and the others clearly as they flew over, not to mention stopping them.
“Over there!”
After they flew for the time for three incense sticks to burn, Yu Huashen suddenly shouted. They glanced over and saw a young man was running with a glaring golden coffin.
They rushed over in joy. However, before they got close enough, both the man and the coffin disappeared without a trace.
“What…”
They were stunned. How did it happen? Ming Yu thought quickly and said in a deep voice, “This must be some illusion. Young Master must be somewhere nearby.”
Recalling how Lu Li escaped by releasing more than a dozen illusionary shadows, they all realized what was happening so they pressed on.
Another three miles ahead, Du Bu’s expressions grew colder and Du Ran the others were weighed down with anxiety. There were six warriors of the Noble Lord Realm. Needless to say, those warriors were from the Qin Family.
The six Noble Lord Realm warriors were flying quickly. Before them was a young man who was carrying a golden coffin.
“Swish, swish~”
Three of the Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Qin Family shot out three strands of Xuan Energy directly toward the coffin. Ming Yu flew into rage and shouted, “Stop it.”
“Whoosh~”
Lu Li, who was running with a coffin, suddenly made shadows of him as if he could see what was happening with the back of his head.
One, two, five, 10, 30…
In the end, there were 60 clone shadows, 60 Lu Li were pulling 60 coffins, rushing to all directions and towards the sky and down into the ground.
Every single one of the shadows seemed authentic, and every coffin was glaring and there were even 60 Little Whites tied off to the coffin…
“Skillful!”
Du Bu, Second Patriarch of the Du Family, exclaimed. He scanned over but he could not see which one of those was the real one.
“Um… how come Young Master’s Apparition Skill is so powerful? Freaky!”
Ming Yu was astonished. In the old days, Lu Li could only have more than 10 shadows and now there were 60 of them.
Ming Yu could see through the clone shadows and find the real one before but he couldn’t do this now. What was freakier was that there were not only shadows of the person, but of the coffin as well and those shadows could flee to all directions…
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Powerful warriors of the Qin Family still resorted to violence as several shadows were going their way. What if one of the shadows was the real one? Their attacks reached the shadows which shattered and disappeared one after another.
The other clone shadows were only there for three seconds before they vanished. In those three seconds, Lu Li must have been more than 10 miles away at his current speed. People chasing him paused for three seconds. By the time all the shadows disappeared, Lu Li was gone.
“A disciple of the Lu Family really is something. He is young and at a low realm, but he can perceive Profound Meaning already?” Du Bu exclaimed again. He waved his hand and said, “Go!”
They were ready to resume their pursuit when a powerful warrior of the Qin Family coldly shouted, “Du Bu, you are at the Qin Family territory. You have come in so rashly to take the treasures. Do you want our two families to fight?”
“F*ck you!”
Du Bu was a man of unrefined words, which went well with his unrefined appearance. He said with anger, “What do you mean taking the treasures? The young man carrying the coffin is a friend of the Du Family. What was more… didn’t you send over some people to our territory yesterday? I’ll be honest with you. If you want the treasures, it’s fine. But if you hurt that young man, I will fight against you till my last breath.”
With that shouted out, Du Bu took a detour and flew over without paying any more attention to the warriors of the Qin Family. He also asked the others to split up to search for Lu Li.
“Boom~”
Not long afterwards, there was a signal detonator that exploded in the east. Clearly, a scout of the Qin Family had found Lu Li.
“Go~”
They went on in their pursuit. Warriors of the Qin Family flew over as well. However, by the time they got there, what they saw were still countless Lu Li running wildly in the mountains with the coffins. Nobody could tell which one of those was real. They didn’t know which one to go after or to stop…
“What should we do?”
Ming Yu and Yu Huashen looked at each other and both of them were at a loss of what to do. They had thought that after they caught up with Lu Li, they could figure out a way to save him.
Only now, none of those warriors could stop Lu Li relying only on themselves. Lu Li might not be as fast as they were, but the “Apparition” was too powerful. Lu Li could run away every time easily.
To stop him was nearly impossible. Unless they could mobilize dozens of warriors of the Noble Lord Realm to encircle Lu Li…
