Time for half an incense stick to burn had pa.s.sed, and then for one to burn.

People at the Cliff of Purgatory could not see into the cave. It was so the other way around as well. Lu Li figured that since the time for one incense stick to burn had pa.s.sed, Bai Qiuxue must have found Bai Leng. To hide here anymore would be of no use.

After some thoughts, Lu Li took off his Ghost Mask. Bai Qiuxue said the Yu Family might have seen the scene where he killed Yu Lingxu. Back then, Lu Li was wearing the Ghost Mask. Currently, to take it off would be easier to mislead people.

Then Lu Li put away his Mighty Heaven Halberd as well. Next, he swaggered his way out of the pa.s.sage. With a streak of white light flas.h.i.+ng by, Lu Li felt like he appeared in midair and he was crus.h.i.+ng down.

"Soon!"

A man flew over to Lu Li, grabbed his clothes and then carried Lu Li toward the front left. The ring on Lu Li’s hand was glowing and he was ready to use his Dragon Roar at any time. Only after he saw clearly it was Bai Gu did Lu Li let down his guard.

Bai Gu grabbed to Lu Li and they flew towards the front left where there was an Iron-armored s.h.i.+ps parked there. Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang and the others were all on it.

"Bai Leng!"

Lu Li saw a white-haired middle-aged man standing on the s.h.i.+p. He felt rea.s.sured. Bai Qiuxue had asked Bai Leng to help so Lu Li’s safety must be secured, right?

"Wait!"

Right at that moment, from above the Cliff of Purgatory came a shout as loud as thunder. Psychic power from five people locked on Lu Li. Another sound that was familiar to Lu Li came out, "That man looks like the murderer that killed Yu Lingxu. Stop him."

"Swish, swish, swis.h.!.+"

Five men flew down from the cliff. Lu Li looked over there. The five men were all mighty and powerful. One of them was familiar to Lu Li, i.e. Yu Feijia, Lord Yu.

Even though Lu Li was badly injured the night at the Wu Ling County, he still saw Lord Yu’s appearance clearly from inside the stone fort. Lord Yu left a pretty deep impression on Lu Li.

"The Yu Family really did send somebody here. Five of the Eternal Realm?"

Lu Li’s mind was weighted down. Bai Gu’s expressions changed greatly. Bai Xiashuang and the others who were down on the boat also appeared to be anxious. Only Bai Qiuxue remained kind of calm.

"Hmm!"

A cold humph came out. A streak of power cold as thousand-year glacier spread out. Bai Leng said, "People from the Yu Family, what you want?"

Someone from the Yu Family was ready to go ahead directly and kill Lu Li. On hearing Bai Leng’s words, he hesitated. Bai Leng was too powerful in fights. None of the five would be a match for Bai Leng in a one-on-one fight.

"Buzzing!"

A powerful warrior of the Yu Family took out an Ancient Chariot. The five boarded it. Bai Gu was relieved. He carried Lu Li and continued their way toward the Iron-armored s.h.i.+p. Finally, they managed to land on the deck.

Even though Lu Li was standing not far away from Bai Leng, he still didn’t feel safe as the five streaks of psychic power continued to lock on him. The profound intent of murder made Lu Li have fallen into an ice cellar. He did not dare to breathe. Powerful warriors of such level were not someone he could mess up with. Any move from them would crush him.

The five men from the Yu Family stood on the Golden Chariot, more than 1000 feet away from the Iron-armed s.h.i.+p. Yu Feijia took a closer look at Lu Li. The intent of killing in Yu Feijia’s eyes became even more profound. He said with coldness, "I thought it was somebody else. It is you, little b.a.s.t.a.r.d."

The other powerful warriors of the Yu Family were surprised. Yu Feijia explained in a low voice, "His name seems to Lu Li. He is the brother of the girl of Fire Phoenix Birth."

"Oh…"

Instantly, the other four people of the Yu Family were filled with desire to kill. An older one of them with grey hair and hooknose glanced over to Lu Li and in the end, had his eyes locked on Bai Leng. He said in a deep voice, "Lord Leng, Yu Lingxu, the Young Master of our family is dead. This man here is the murderer. Please give him to us."

"Swish, swish, swis.h.!.+"

Bai Xiashuang and the others looked even awful. Bai Ying and some others appeared to be depressed. Bai Qiuxue looked at all the others and was having regrets.

She should have asked all these men to go into the cabin. They all looked so alarmed. Weren’t they practically telling the Yu Family that Lu Li was the murderer of Yu Lingxu?

Bai Leng’s hair was white as snow and his face cold as iron, very imposing. He stared at the old man of the Yu Family indifferently and said, "Yu Feinong, are you too advanced into your ages that you are confused? What Realm is this man at? The later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. I think your Young Master should be at the middle stage of the Soul Pond Realm, right? He also had Sixth-rank Bloodline. This young man here can kill Yu Lingxu? You are pestering us. Do you want to go into a fight with the Thousand-island Lake?"

"Nice!"

Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue’s eyes lit up for a bit. Bai Leng’s words sounded domineering and rude, but they were reasonable as well. Anyone that was not familiar with the truth would be convinced by him.

There were three Iron-armored s.h.i.+p nearby in total. Many powerful warriors had been alarmed and they were standing on their decks, enjoying the show.

Hearing Bai Leng’s words, several warriors scanned Lu Li with their psychic power. Many showed signs of doubt. Lu Li was only at the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, so how could he kill Yu Lingxu?

Many powerful warriors of the Families on the Iron-armored s.h.i.+p didn’t worry too much even after they heard Yu Lingxu was dead since the Jade Talisman of Life of their young masters and ladies remained intact. This was a sign that they were still alive. Now that Bai Qiuxue and the others could get out, the disciples of their Families could naturally go out as well.

The five people of the Yu Family frowned. They glanced over to Lu Li, confused and doubtful.

After all, Lu Li was at such a low Realm. Warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm would find it nearly impossible to kill ones of the Soul Pond Realm, let alone one of the middle stage of the Soul Pond Realm. Yu Lingxu even had Sixth-rank Bloodline.

After some thoughts, Yu Feinong poured Xuan Energy into a crystal ball that appeared in his hand. In midair, a picture suddenly showed up. It was the scene where Lu Li cutting at Yu Lingxu’s head with the Mighty Heaven Halberd.

"It’s fine. It’s okay!"

Lu Li was relieved. Fortunately, he was not wearing the Ghost Mask and the Mighty Heaven Halberd right now. If not, it would be meaningless to offer any explanation.

Bai Qiuxue frowned, on the other hand. The picture was clear. Even though Lu Li had changed into another robe, and he had been wearing the Ghost Mask. Yet the appearance and the figure were similar.

"It is him!"

Yu Feijia shouted after he compared. A golden saber showed up in his hand. A blue sword mark on his neck was glistening. The intent of killing spread around like tides.

"Yu Feijia, I will kill you with one move if you dare to do anything."

Bai Leng stepped forward, blocking all the influence of the killing intent. Lu Li and Bai Qixue and others felt relieved at once.

A silver soft sword emerged in Bai Leng’s hand. A purple crescent moon mark kindled on his neck. He also had the Seventh-rank Bloodline.

The surge of killing intent from him was even more profound. He stared coldly at the five men of the Yu Family and said, "How dare you kill warriors of the Thousand-island Lake without any evidence? Do you, the Yu Family, seek to be destroyed? I have sent a message to your Family Patriarch. Make a move, I dare you."

"Hiss, hiss~"

Many were gasping because of Bai Leng’s words. The might of the Old Man of Heaven Prison was famous at the Thousand-island Lake. Once, a Patriarch of a Fourth-rank Family of the Heaven Martial Kingdom resorted to force at the Thousand-island Lake. The Old Man of Heaven Prison killed all the powerful warriors of that Fourth-rank Family under the nose of the Family Patriarch of the Zi Family.

Many years ago, the three Royal Families called up many powerful warriors of the three kingdoms to launch an attack at the Thousand-island Lake. In the end, however, they lost soldiers and generals, and retreated with embarra.s.sment.

On the List of Warlord of the Thousand-island Lake, the Old Man of Heaven Prison ranked No. 3. He had been living for more than 2000 years. If he was alarmed, a foul wind and rain of blood would sweep across the Northern Desert.

"Bai Leng, you are so arrogant!"

Right at that moment, a cold laughter came out. An old man in an ancient green robe from an Iron-armored s.h.i.+p walked out to the deck. He was the most powerful one of the people leading the team of Zi Family.

The old man in the green robe threw an indifferent glance over to Bai Leng and said, "Bai Leng, the Yu Family this time lost a Young Master, a genius with Sixth-rank Bloodline. This time, we have agreed that no killing is allowed in there. If Yu Lingxu really died in his hands and you don’t want to handle him over, the Heaven Martial Kingdom…is ready to fight!"

"Right!"

Yu Feinong shouted at once, "The Yu Family will not let it go if you don’t surrender him to us."
