The fact that Lu Li was taken away by Leng Wuxin was not publicly known. The outsiders received no information about Lu Li and they simply didn’t see him over this time.
What was more… when the four forces invaded the Clouds Plains, Serenity Plains and the Northern Desert, Lu Li didn’t show up. Later, when Lu Ling led a team to the Central Plains, there was no sign of Lu Li, either. Many assumed that he had already dead.
Wei Zi’ang was surprised to see Lu Li. Not to mention it had been a month after Lu Ling arrived at the Central Plains. Wei Zi’ang took a close look. When realizing Lu Li was merely at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm, Wei Zi’ang sighed and said,
Young Master Lu, you shouldn’t have come.


And yet here I am!

Lu Li said. He asked without any further ado,
Lord Wei, where is my sister?




She should be at the Wheels Region!


Five days ago, I hears some news. A large city at the Wheels Region was under sever attack which took a heavy toll. More than two hundred thousand warriors in the city were either killed or injured. In the end, a Great Patriarch of the Samsara Palace had to come out and calmed it down.


How so?

Lu Li was astonished. Lu Ling only led a team of a dozen and she had no Earth Immortal Realm warriors. How could they have possibly led to the death and injury of two hundred thousand? The fact that they were alive was a miracle in itself. Now they could kill enemies?
Wei Zi’ang took out a military report from his Interspatial Ring to give to Lu Li. Upon a closer reading, Lu Li realized that it was true. The former exclaimed,
Lu Li, your sister is really incredible. Every time she takes action, she can kill and wound hundreds of thousands in a city. She even claimed that if the Samsara Place would not let the hostages go, she would ruin all the forces and families affiliated with the Samsara Palace. At the moment, panic is spreading through the hundreds regions belonging to the Samsara Palace.


What, but…

Lu Li felt thunderstruck. He shook his head in disbelief and said,
That is not possible. They have no Earth Immortal Realm warriors. How can they run from pursuits of Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the Samsara Palace? They have merely a dozen Human Sovereign Realm warriors. How can they have killed so many?


You don’t know?

Wei Zi’ang asked with a frown,
Lu Li, you don’t know your sister has many Walking Puppets? Not even Human Sovereign Realm warriors can kill those Walking Puppets. Only Earth Immortal Realm warriors can. She has initiated five attacks and for each of them, she has used Walking Puppets. She caused the death and injury of hundreds of thousands in those cities.


Walking Puppets!



Lu Li remembered. He once gave Lu Ling a scroll on producing Walking Puppets. The scroll recorded an ancient skill that he had acquired from that underground palace at the Island of Serenity. He did not know that Lu Ling could successfully produce Walking Puppets.
Walking Puppets had devastating strength. When they were not hindered by friendly forces, they could kill as they wanted, which constituted a more destructive force. Lu Ling and the others could leave right after they give orders to the Walking Puppets to kill all at sight.

But… how did my sister and the others run from the pursuit of Samsara Palace?

Lu Li asked. The Samsara Palace had a group of Earth Immortal Realm warriors. Lu Ling now was at Samsara Palace’s lands with many of their scouts. It was not likely that Lu Ling and the others could vanish.
Wei Zi’ang rolled his eyes. Lu Li could tell that Wei Zi’ang was wandering if Lu Ling was his sister or not so he explained,
I have been cultivating for many years and I have stopped only recently.


Oh, I see…

Wei Zi’ang was convinced. Then, he continued with some reverence,
Someone among them know a strong Profound Meaning that can transport them across the void. The warrior can carry many with them and they can go across a distance of tens of thousands of times one time. Another girl masters an incredible tempting skills. She could even confuse Earth Immortal Realm warriors for a short while. They were encircled many times but in the end, they have always been able to escape.


Crossing the void? Tempting skills? The Enchantment!

Lu Li did not know who had the former skill but he was sure that the second belonged to Bai Qiuxue. The Enchantment that she studied had three levels. The first level allowed her to charm the public, the second would enable her to confuse the world and at the third level, she could puzzle gods and demons. She must have reached the second level since she could confuse Earth Immortal Realm warriors for a period of time.
At merely the second level, her skill could already affect Earth Immortal Realm. By the time she reached the third level, could she really be able to make gods and demons lose their minds? Were ancient skills this powerful?


Lu Li was relieved to hear that they were fine. As for Lu Feixue, Bai Xiashuang and the others, he could take his time and develop a strategy to save them.

Young Master Lu!

Wei Zi’ang remembered something.
Do you know any powerful Earth Immortal Realm warriors?

Lu Li blinked in confusion and answered with a question,
I know many, like the Great Abbot of the Great Buddhist Temple, Grand Master Xing of the Demon-slaying Hall. Why do you ask?


I am not talking about the known warriors!

Wei Zi’ang explained,
I am refereeing to those retired from society and not known to the public. Two days ago, over at the Samsara Palace, an unfamiliar powerful man showed up. He himself swept across an entire city and even kill an Earth Immortal Realm warrior of the Samsara Palace. That man is incredibly mysterious. Nobody knows who he is. I suppose he is a hermit warrior.


Um…

Lu Li was bewildered. He did not know any hermit Earth Immortal Realm warriors. Was he from the Demon-slaying Hall? Did Xing Mu send over that warrior? Or, did Lu Ling invite him over?
But the discussion over the man’s identity was pointless. After some thought, Lu Li said,
Lord Wei, can you give me a fake ID token? I need to go to the Wheels Region at once.

Frowning, Wei Zi’ang said,
Young Master Lu, don’t be impulsive. You are practically… courting death considering your abilities. Revenge is a dish best served cold.




Ha, ha, ha!

Lu Li’s laugh was strong and powerful. Waving his hand, he said,
Thank you, Lord Wei, for the heads-up. Soon, you will know that the situation of the Central Plains will be changed. Over a hundred million of the Northern Desert, Clouds Plains and the Serenity Plains have lost their lives. This time, I will cause the same scale of death in the Samsara Palace, the Hades Society, the Pavilion of Blossoms and the Lu Family. The Central Plains will have no more of the four forces!


What…

Lu Li was speaking in such a tone that Wei Zi’ang found it shocking. That being said, he didn’t feel that Lu Li was paying lip service. Instead, he sensed Lu Li… was capable.

Fine!

Wei Zi’ang called over a man and said some words. Soon, a token was brought over. It was a faked token of some random family, not implicating the Wei Family.

Lord Wei, I will go to the Wheels Region first. Please keep things about me confidential.

Lu Li cupped his fists. Wei Family was a loyal affiliate with the Great Buddhist Temple. He was not worried that the Wei Family would sell him out given his relationship with the Abbot.
He had chosen to take on a disguise because he wanted to sneak to the Samsara Place. He would hide in order to take control. He would come out and tear the Samsara Palace a new one at the critical junction so he could save Lu Feixue and all the others.
Lu Li used Teleportation Formation all the way through. Since each teleportation was for a long distance, it exhausted him and cost many Xuan Crystals.


But none of these was of Lu Li’s concern now. He teleported to a region city nearby directly from the City of Waters. He went across regions after regions so that he could arrive at the territory of the Samsara Palace as soon as he could.
The Great Buddhist Temple was located at the west of the Central Plains while the Samsara Place was at the southwest. There were more than one hundred regions between them. It would take an hour to teleport between two regions. By this account, Lu Li had to spend 10 days to teleport to the Samsara Palace even if he took no rest. The Wheels region was not far away from the Samsara City and it would merely cost Lu Li one day to go from one to the other.
Lu Li’s soul was particularly strong at the moment. He didn’t feel any fatigue even after constant teleportation. Since he had a token of a big family and he could afford the high cost, the journey had been smooth.
However…
Four days into the journey, Lu Li got a news that interrupted his journey.
The news came to him easily because it was spreading across the city—five days later, in the Samsara City, the Samsara Palace would execute Lu Feixue, Bai Xiashuang, Ye Cha and Madam Yan.
Clearly!
When Samsara Palace realized that they could not successfully hunt down Lu Ling, they resorted to this plot. They laid down an intricate trap at the Samsara City, waiting for Lu Ling and the others to step into the trap by themselves.
