Lu Li checked his body. Only his ears had some blood stains. He tidied up his robe, made sure that he had put away Leng Tianba and Leng Wushuang’s Interspatial Rings, and strode out.
As he approached the opening, he worked up some courage and slapped himself on the forehead. Some blood vessels in his head popped and blood oozed from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth. He looked paler as well. He dashed out in strides, putting on a miserable expression.
Four people were waiting for him anxiously outside. Leng Wushang, Leng Wumi and Leng Buji were taken aback by the fact that Lu Li came alone. Leng Wuxin looked at Lu Li’s face with doubt, wondering if he was really faking it.

I am sorry…

Lu Li said apologetically to the four,
The Feather Wind in there is too heavy. I have tried many times but I still couldn’t save them…



Swish, swish, swish~
Leng Wushang, Leng Wumi and Leng Buji were bleached from the terrible news. Not only had they lost two Earth Immortal Realm warriors, but their safety assurance.
The portal to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God would disable half a month after they entered. During the year, the Leng Family wouldn’t be able to send in any more powerful warriors as reinforcements. It would bode ill rather than well for them once they ran into Earth Immortal Realm warriors from their enemy families.
Leng Wuxin still had her doubt so she sent Lu Li a questioning look. Lu Li closed his eyes and shook his head, letting Leng Wuxin know that this wasn’t an act and that he really couldn’t save them.

Brother Lu, are you sure that you cannot save them? You can name your conditions at will as long as you can help Uncle Wushuang and Uncle Tianba out.

Leng Wushang was not giving up. He grabbed Lu Li’s hands and said eagerly. He was agitated and his graceful manners had forsaken him at the moment.
Lu Li sat down with his legs crossed. He wiped the blood off from his mouth and eyes and then said after a sigh,
Young Master Wushang, you of all people know how horrifying the Feather Wind is in there. I walked in for several miles. I practically had to grit my teeth to have the strength to crawl further. But I didn’t see them. I really couldn’t go further or I would die in there.

Leng Wushang, Leng Wumi and Leng Buji looked at each other. The glint of hope in their eyes dimmed down. Lu Li was right. The three understood how terrifying the Feather Wind was in the cave. If Leng Tianba and Leng Wushuang hadn’t created a barrier using Profound Meaning, the three of them would have died in the cave.
Leng Wuxin still wasn’t convinced but she found it difficult to voice her doubt in the presence of Leng Wushang, Leng Buji and Leng Wumi. She asked with a frown,
Wushang, what do we do now?

How could Leng Wushang know what to do?


They were without protection from Earth Immortal Realm warriors. Once they ran into enemies, the consequences could be catastrophic. But they couldn’t hang out here and do nothing, either. This cave symbolized a treasured land. What if some powerful warriors noticed the spot?

Should we wait? Maybe the Feather Wind will disappear.

Leng Wushang said after some thoughts. At first, the cave was without Feather Wind. Later after they entered, Feather Wind appeared. He assumed that it was possible that the Feather Wind would vanish.

Eh!

Lu Li’s heart skipped a beat. Should the Feather Wind disappear, Leng Wushang would find Leng Tianba and Leng Wushuang’s bodies in the cave. That would be the cat out of the bag. Leng Wushang might not be able to determine the cause of death. However, Lu Li taking their Interspatial Ring was a certain give-away.
Lu Li took a healing pellet and closed his eyes to rest. At the same time, he thought quickly in his mind. If the Feather Wind disappeared and Leng Wushang had to go in, then fighting was the only choice left for him. He had to think of a way to kill Leng Wushang in that case or he would be the one dying.

Hopefully the Feather Wind won’t disappear.

Lu Li prayed to himself. He kept his eyes closed and pretended to be treating his wounds. An hour later, Leng Wumi suddenly yelled,
The Feather Wind is gone.


Dmn it!

Lu Li cursed to himself. He was not confident to fight against Leng Wushang and Leng Buji. He wouldn’t be able to kill Leng Wushang even with his Soul Shattering Skill and by then, he would definitely die in the hands of Leng Wushang and Leng Buji.



Never mind!

Lu Li gritted his teeth. Leng Wushang said to him abruptly,
Brother Lu, can you please explore the way? We shall go and have a look to see if Uncle Wushuang and Uncle Tianba are alive or not.


Okay!

Lu Li opened his eyes and looked at everyone. He did as he was asked and walked into the cave. Leng Wushang, Leng Buji and Leng Wuxin followed him while Leng Wumi, the weakest one, stayed at the end of the team.
Lu Li deliberately slowed down and he listened carefully for sound coming from inside. He was nervous. Should the Feather Wind fail to appear, he would be compelled to commit more murders.
Leng Wushang didn’t want to walk fast for fear that the Feather Wind would re-emerge. Everyone was treading with caution. They had covered 300 yards, then two miles and then six miles!
All of a sudden, there came a strange noise from the depth of the cave. Lu Li’s eyes lit up as he yelled,
Run back now. Feather Wind is coming. I will buy you some time!


Run—

Leng Wushang and the others were scared out of their wits. The four of them sped up and rushed back out while Lu Li stayed behind with relief and wiped sweat off from his forehead.
The fatal danger had passed. When the cave was unoccupied, everything was normal. Once someone entered, Feather Wind would come soon. Given that Leng Tianba and Leng Wushang’s bodies were in the depth of the cave, they might never be discovered.


Lu Li didn’t dare to stall for long. He left soon as well. Once he came out, he acted as if his heart was still fluttering with fear and said,
The Feather Wind…seems to be stronger than before.


Then it is over!

Leng Wushang panicked. He had been behaving in a mature way and he was sophisticated in his ways of conducting himself in relations to others. That being said, he was a young man of 16 after all. He was not stable enough in face of major events. The two Earth Immortal Realm warriors were most certainly dead. If they had been alive, the Feather Wind wouldn’t have disappeared for a while. It was further proved by the fact that as they went in, the Feather Wind started again.

Let’s go!

Leng Wuxin was the calmer one and she might even be a bit pleased. Lu Li might have killed the two or they might have died because of the Feather Wind, either way, it was a good deal for her. It made killing Leng Wushang much easier. She had already decided to wipe out Leng Wushang since that night two years ago.

Young Master Wushang!

Lu Li said,
This is not a good place to stay. If they are still alive, they will find their way out sooner or later. We are too obvious a target here. We need to leave as soon as possible. What if those from the Mage Imperial Universe come by?


Let’s go!

Leng Wushang calmed down. This was not the best place to stay. As Lu Li had said, if Leng Wushuang and Leng Tianba were still alive, they would make their way out.
Leng Wushang left behind a family mark and then led everyone upstream. They didn’t go fast this time lest they couldn’t escape once something happened.


Leng Wumi was clearly in a panic. She followed Leng Wushang and Leng Buji closely while Lu Li and Leng Wuxin stayed at the back of the team. The two looked at each other and found similar killing intent in their eyes.
The death of Leng Wushuang and Leng Tianba had made Leng Wushang’s possible death much easier. Leng Wuxin even became short of breath on the thought that her long-cherished wish was coming true.

Let’s find a small secret area and cultivate.

Leng Wushang said solemnly after a while,
Our family has many enemies so do not wander around. Let’s find a secret area and cultivate for a year and wait to teleport out.


Sure!

Leng Wuxin nodded and said,
I agree with you. Without Uncle Wushuang, we will be in big trouble once we encounter those from the Feng Family or from the Earth Imperial Universe.


That is right.

Lu Li added. At first, he wished he could meet Young Master Haochuan and kill him as soon as possible but he did not have the courage at the moment. Without Earth Immortal Realm warriors to protect them, they were vulnerable in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God. Any enemy they ran into might lead them to a miserable death.
