Chapter 1228: Map
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Things went on smoothly for the Deaf Taoist whose power had increased remarkably. His physical strength was improved, and his speed, strength and defensive powers had all been elevated. He was now more powerful than the average prefecture warriors.
Red Flake was a high quality material. Creatures from the Region of Doom were noted for their physical strength. With such high-level material, any creature from the Region of Doom would experience improvement.
After two prefecture warriors were killed, the Deaf Taoist and the immortal"s body burnt off the corpses before they hurried toward Lu Li.
It had been a while since Lu Li was on the run. He was not fast and had only covered two thousand miles. An hour later, the Deaf Taoist and the immortal"s body had caught up with Lu Li.
“Let"s go inside of the Wicked Bead.”
Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist entered the Wicked Bead while the immortal"s body carried it. As they found themselves inside, Lu Li began to pose questions about the situation.
“Let Commander Wings know?”
Lu Li pulled a long face when the Deaf Taoist said so. Let Commander Wings know? Was G.o.d of Wings in the Vicissitude House already? If she were in the Office of Creation far, far away, it would be pointless to inform her.
“We got lucky that G.o.d of Wings was not here, or you and the immortal"s body would have been doomed!”
Lu Li breathed in relief. G.o.d of Wings was a commander at the Office of Creation, and she could offer a bounty of millions of Divine Sources. She must have been doing well in the Divinity. To achieve this, she must be powerful.
“Running away is the priority!”
Anyways, Lu Li must leave this region as soon as possible, the further away the better. If G.o.d of Wings caught up with Lu Li, then he would be in terrible danger.
“Buzzing~”
Together with Little White and the Deaf Taoist, Lu Li went to a hall. He picked up a book on Inhibition Formations and resumed dissolving the seal of the Wicked Bead. If he could dissolve the fifth seal before G.o.d of Wings caught up with him, then it was possible that he could keep himself safe.
“Deaf Taoist, go ahead and consume the third piece of Red Flake.”
Lu Li instructed the Deaf Taoist to cultivate. The immortal"s body was carrying the Wicked Bead. As long as there wasn"t a huge herd of wild beasts, then everything should be fine. Lu Li could ask the Deaf Taoist to help once things went wrong.
Lu Li fed Little White a piece of Divine Source and then continued to read the books. He put one of his hands on the wall of the hall to pour in divine energy to dissolve the fifth seal.
The next few days pa.s.sed on in peace. The immortal"s body flew in a random direction. There was a city on the way. But the immortal"s body did not go near the city in case prefecture warriors would notice and go after them.
Lu Li went out and checked the city once they were near. The city in the Divinity was large, more so than the Divine Imperial City. Lu Li could get a sense of aging and a past of turbulence from the distance. The city must be a lively place. However, Lu Li kept his distance and was afraid to come any closer.
“Blood Fairy, keep an eye out. See if you can find any immortals or followers traveling alone!”
Lu Li told Blood Fairy. He had lost his sense of direction completely. He didn"t know where to go, or how to leave the sphere of influence of Vicissitude House.
He couldn"t go to any cities that belonged to the Vicissitude House. The entire Vicissitude House was unsafe for him. He must leave the Vicissitude House and try to become a citizen of another prefecture. In this way, he could go in and out of cities at will. Next, he could find a way to go to the Swords Mountain.
At the Divinity, his strongest supporter was Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Only by going to the Swords Mountain could Lu Li be safe, cultivate and find Lu Ling by borrowing the powers of the Sword Sect.
“I must go to the Swords Mountain!”
Once again, Lu Li told himself resolutely. He continued to dissolve the seal of the Wicked Bead. Now, he had to pray that G.o.d of Wings would not track him down.
“Master!”
Two days later, Blood Fairy suddenly sent a message. “There is a team ahead of us. They are hunting wild beasts. There are six average immortals. They must be here to train themselves since they are all very young.”
“Really?”
Lu Li dashed out after thinking about it. He put away the immortal"s body. His plan was to go there and ask by himself so that he would not act rashly and invite unwanted attention.
Lu Li first used psychic power to check secretly. Then, he walked over in strides. Over there, six warriors were striking one huge wild beast. All six were immortals. They appeared to be young, but everyone was wearing a Relic armor and holding a Relic weapon, quite majestic looking.
Of the six, five were males and one was a beautiful lady. That lady wasn"t doing anything. She stayed on the sidelines to enjoy the drama while the five young men were hitting the wild beasts with great effort.
That wild beast was strong. The five immortals were all capable and equipped with unique skills. The wild beast was injured already. Its blood spilled on the ground. The beast could die at any time.
“Well?”
Lu Li, who was striding over, alarmed the group. They turned to him with cold glares, alerted. Afterward, they were relieved when they noticed that Lu Li was on his own, and he did not appear to be strong since he was a young immortal.
“Boom!”
When Lu Li walked over, the wild beast was slain by a blonde young man. He waved his hand to two other immortals, who hurried over to dissect the wild beast. The blonde young man walked over to the beautiful lady. He glared at Lu Li and asked coldly, “Who are you?”
Lu Li kept a distance of over one thousand feet away from the crowd. Cupping his fists, Lu Li said, “Nice to meet you all. I came out to explore, but I got lost. Do you have a map? Well… I will pay you with Divine Sources.”
“Map?” That blonde young man snorted. Waving his hand in a bossy way, he shouted, “No map. p.i.s.s off!”
Lu Li rubbed his nose in embarra.s.sment. How rude were they? He was merely asking for a map, and he was going to pay with Divine Sources. Why would they tell him to p.i.s.s off just because of those simple words?
He kept calm and asked politely again, “Why don"t we help each other while we are all out here exploring. It"s just a map. How many Divine Sources do you want for it?”
“Divine Sources?”
The blonde young man sneered. “I am in no need of Divine Sources. I don"t think you are some good person, sneaking around. Exploring? How can you, a weak guy, have the courage to walk around in the wild? I will not show mercy if you linger on.”
“You want to do this the hard way?”
Lu Li pulled a long face. He was not treated with politeness though he was. Were they really thinking that he would be afraid? Lu Li took out a Relic weapon. Pointing at the blonde young man, he said, “Weak? Do you want to find out?”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
The blonde young man laughed and threw a glance of pride over the others. “You? Sure. If you can defeat me, I will give you the map!”
“Swish~”
Lu Li did not hesitate. He used the Slayer"s move directly. Immediately, s.p.a.ce began to tremble. A ray of blood-red sword light whooshed on. The blonde young man felt he could see nothing but a world of blood.
“Ah~”
That pretty lady next to the blonde young man was frightened. She dashed to the distance in a hurry. Lucky for her, Lu Li"s target was the blonde young man or else the lady would not be able to move at all.
“Bang!”
As expected, the young man could not react fast enough. He was blasted away by the ray of sword light. Though he was not heavily injured, blood still oozed out from the corner of his mouth.
“Now, can you give me the map?”
Lu Li put away the saber and glared at the blonde young man. Unexpectedly, the blonde young man flew into rage. Waving his hand, he shouted, “Everyone, kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”
“You?”
This group moved in closer around Lu Li, seized with killing intent. That beautiful lady also took out a red saber, ready to finish Lu Li.
Lu Li pulled a long face. A strong sense of violence overwhelmed the crowd as Lu Li shouted, “Do not blame me for killing all of you if you dare to fight me.”
Lu Li"s killing intent was strong, especially after he learned the Slayer"s move. His hard-edged energy scared the six of them. They no longer felt that Lu Li was just an average immortal; he was more like a wild beast that was about to swallow them.
