Chapter 55: So Near Yet So Far

“Whew, whew!”

Lu Li breathed heavily after killing Uncle Scar. He was still in disbelief as he stared at the head of Uncle Scar rolling to the sides.

He had killed a warrior at the Spirit Sea Realm, really?

In the old days, for him, warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm were like deities that he had no chance of winning against. One month ago, he was nothing. He had to bear the insult from Di Hu and the other people, but now, he could kill powerful warriors as strong as Di Ba.

It was like a dream…

But this time that Lu Li could kill Uncle Scar so easily was largely attributable to Little White. Without it, Uncle Scar must have fled away. Uncle Scar was so fast that there was no way for Lu Li to chase up to him.

“The Bloodline Skill is so mighty!”

Lu Li was over the moon. Even though he could not have killed Uncle Scar without Little White, but still, he succeeded and wounded Uncle Scar. These were all because of the Bloodline Skill.

“Right, the time is almost up!”

On thinking of this, Lu Li suddenly became alarmed. He fumble around the body of Uncle Scar and found some Golden Leaves and a Secret Warrior Book. Without enough time to check it, Lu Li picked up Uncle Scar’s long sword and his bundle and rushed away with Little White.

Soon, he would enter the period of fatigue. He would sink into deep sleep. Zhao Rui might be following him and catch up to him at any minute. Now, he must find a safe place to stay as soon as possible.

After Lu Li went on for another three miles, the need to find a place was all the more imperative. In the wilderness, there hardly was any place for him to hide. Lu Li, at the same time, could feel that his Bloodline Skill time was almost up.

Another couple of miles later, his muscles started retracting and his qi and energy died out. A strong sense of fatigue came up within him.

“That’s the one. Let’s see if the Heaven takes me under his wings.”

Lu Li had his eyes on a somewhat secluded small cave and had no other choice but to run towards it. The cave was small and not deep. Finding a bounder nearby, Lu Li randomly used it to block the cave. Lu Li said to Little White, “Little White, guard the cave entrance for me and you can eat whatever you want apart from the Heaven Kylin Sword.”

With that said, Lu Li slept soundly. Not even thunder or lightning would wake him up.

Lu Li was worried about nothing. Zhao Rui and the rest of the warriors never tried to chase up. They camped where they separate with Uncle Scar who had told them not to go anywhere. How could Zhao Rui wander off in the wilderness at night?

Lu Li enjoyed a night’s good sleep and woke up when it was almost morning. He stretched in comfort. He looked around blankly for a bit then got up. After he made sure that the boulder was not moved, and that the daylight had come, Lu Li was relieved.

“Sh*t!”

Lu Li suddenly realized that there was a handle of a sword lying around but the blade was gone. That was the high rank Xuan Artifact owned by Uncle Scar. Little White, on the other hand, was soundly asleep while curling up…

“You wastrel, you!”

Lu Li was upset and felt such a shame. Uncle Scar was a warrior at the Spirit Sea Realm and he was dedicated to the protection of Zhao Rui. How could the Xuan Artifact he used be one of a low rank? It would be one of the Seventh or Eighth Rank of the Human Grade at least. It might even be one of the Earth Grade. Now it was eaten up by Little White.

But on another thought, he seemed to have told Little White that it could eat anything apart from the Heaven Kylin Sword. Lu Li twitched his mouth in shame. Yet, without Little White, he couldn’t have killed Uncle Scar. In some sense, the Xuan Artifact was the war trophy for Little White. As such, Lu Li just let it go.

“Go on!”

This place was too close to the battlefield. Even if Zhao Rui and the rest did not chase him last night, they must set off looking for Uncle Scar after dawn.

Uncle Scar was dead now. Zhao Rui and the rest were not the concern of Lu Li. The thing was, the Zhao Family had a lot of warriors stationed on the Frigid Cloud Mountain. Lu Li didn’t want to leave any tracks behind which might lead the powerful warriors of the Zhao Family to hunt him down.

Little White was put into the jute bag and went back to sleep. Lu Li left the cave and continued his journey to the north. He aimed to go to the Red Stone Mountain and steal the eggs of the Red Phosphorus Hawks, and then to try and figure out a way to go back to Wu Ling County.

That he was able to kill a warrior at the Spirit Sea Realm gave Lu Li much confidence. He was quite delightful. He was emboldened like he was a warrior of the Spirit Sea Realm by the fact that he possessed Bloodline Skills and the supernatural power of Little White.

While hurrying on his way, Lu Li started reminiscing about his fight with Uncle Scar last night. He tried to work out in his head how he could put his advantages into play and enhance his fighting capacity.

This time, he also factored in Little White, and deliberated how to use Little White’s shocking strength as his help.

Now, Lu Li was 100% sure that the little Beast was a Xuan Beast of the Third-Rank or higher. It was born not long ago, and it already have so many remarkable abilities, be so fast in its speed and sharp in its teeth. How bold and powerful could it become when it grew up?

On thinking of Little White, Lu Li once again touched the animal tooth pendant on his neck.

Little White chose to follow him because of the animal tooth pendant. There was some distinct fear when Little White looked at the animal tooth which indicated that the owner of the animal tooth pendant was of higher rank than Lu Li. That would mean the Xuan Beast the tooth came from was one of higher than the Fifth or Sixth Rank.

“Only my father knows the origin of the animal tooth pendant, but now he is still trapped inside the Ice Abyss!”

Lu Li gazed away into the north. Several hundreds of miles from here would be the Ice Abyss. If there were no Xuan Beasts blocking the way, Lu Li could get there in a couple of days, maximum.

He was so close to his father and mother, and yet so far away. He did not have the ability to bring his parents out of the Ice Abyss. He didn’t even have the courage to go near it…

“Father, mother!”

Thinking that his father was trapped for more than 15 years and that his mother’s survival was uncertain, Lu Li felt painful as if a knife were being twisted in his heart and his eyes reddened.

Lu Li stared into the north, clenched his fists and said to himself, “Father, mother, you wait for me. I will be transported to Central Plains as soon as possible to find powerful warriors of the Lu Family to save you.”

“Leave!”

Lu Li soothed his nerves and started striding on. There was a long journey ahead of him if he wished to save his father and mother. It was not of much meaning to think about it now. He had to take down-to-earth steps. The first step was to get to the Red Stone Mountain and finish the quest of the Liu Family.

With a detailed map in hand, Lu Li could travel quite fast, but this time, he did not go towards the Frigid Cloud Valley. He almost walked into a set-up last time. What if this time, it was still the Zhao Family warriors that were guarding over there?

Lu Li chose to steer by the Frigid Cloud Valley and went across the hill on the left. Although it was a harder way and took up more time, it would be safer.

“Damn…”

It was indeed a harder way as there was actually no way. The road was fragmented, boulders and peaks were everywhere, and thistles and thorns were along the road. If it were regular guys, it would be too difficult to move an inch.

Besides, there were poisonous insects lurking in the valley and toxic smog filled the place. The only good thing was that there being no road here meant the Beast Upheaval would not spread this way. Lu Li made his way for several miles without encountering a single Xuan Beast.

“Whoosh!”

Just as Lu Li made it to another peak, there came a sharp noise. Following that, a golden dot zoomed in. Lu Li took a look, and then quickly took cover climbing down the peak out of fear.

That was a Golden Chariot. Those were the powerful warriors of the Super Families. Anyone of them could level the entire Wu Ling County to the ground. Lu Li dared not to make a fuss in front of them.

The Golden Chariot was too fast. In just a second, it had arrived at the place ahead of Lu Li. Now, he stopped looking and hid his entire body under the stone peak.

However, right at that moment, the Golden Chariot suddenly slowed down and then stopped over Lu Li’s head. Ferocious and unrestrained qi and energy enveloped him in.

“Who is down there? Why are you sneaking around? Get out!”

A terrifying roar made Lu Li tremble. He was startled that he was spotted. But the warriors up there would be at least of the Soul Pond Realm, so it would be normal for them to find him.

“It sucks. I hope everything is going to be fine.”

Lu Li prayed to himself. These warriors of these Super Families regarded the people like Lu Li as nobodies. The slightest disagreement would mean death to Lu Li.

On the Great Land of China, forces clashed for the sake of supremacy and Bloodline Warriors ran amok; the conflict of the strong threatened to shatter heaven and earth. A young man named Lu Li—nothing more than a humble Coffin Carrier from the Northern Desert—came along with Lu Ling, his sister. The two were regarded as puny insects and bullied, but little did people know that Lu Li had the strongest Bloodline of them all in him. He mounted the most handsome of horses and drank the strongest of wines; He bedded the most beautiful of ladies and murdered the most hated of people; He told a huge lie and carried with him an ill-reputation undeserved; He traveled all by his lonesome and danced with devils; He had given his word that he would come back, that he would be strong. And it was because of this that she was still waiting in the city—alone.
