Chapter 198: Who Was That?
"Hiss, hiss~"
People in the distance was gasping. On each of the three Iron-armored s.h.i.+ps stood more than a dozen powerful warriors, the ones that were here to protect their young masters and young ladies.
Everyone was focusing on the situation over at Lu Li’s. They all saw the horrifying hand, and felt the "Force" in heaven and earth. It was true that the "Force" didn’t leave an impact on them, but still, they sensed it. At this moment, everyone’s mind was in shock…
"n.o.ble Lord Realm? No!"
Zi Huanyu controlled his Blossoms Formation to stop. Since a warrior at the n.o.ble Lord Realm of the Thousand-island Lake had made a move and killed Yu Feijia with one hand, maybe the next one going to die would be Zi Huanyu if he continued to attack Bai Leng.
"Who was that?"
Zi Huanyu’s mind was occupied with serious doubts. There were only two warriors of the n.o.ble Lord Realm at the Thousand-island Lake, one of which was the Old Man of Heaven Prison and the other was the Chief Patriarch of the Bai Family.
Clearly, it was not the Old Man of Heaven Prison. He shouldn’t have gone through so much trouble if he wanted to kill Yu Feijia. Also, it was not in line with his character to make a move like this. Could it be the Chief Patriarch of the Bai Family, Bai Xi? However, n.o.body heard him perceiving Force.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
In the sea of flowers down below came some m.u.f.fled sounds after which three men were smashed out of the tides. One of them had already pa.s.sed out with blood spilling out of his mouth. The other two looked very pale.
Yu Feinong grabbed the fainted patriarch, controlled his own Fate Wheel and fly towards the north at the top of his speed.
Even though they were inside the sea of blossoms, they could sense what was happening outside. Yu Feinong saw the hand condensed out of the water and that it killed Yu Feijia.
Yu Feinong was clear that if he didn’t run, everyone would die here. Who dared to compete with a warrior of the n.o.ble Lord Realm?
"Swis.h.!.+"
Bai Leng flew out from the sea of flowers. Since Zi Huanyu stopped controlling the Blossoms Formation, it was not difficult for Bai Leng to get out.
Bai Leng stood on his nine-layered Fate Wheel. Instead of pursuing Yu Feinong and the others, he looked towards Lu Li with confusion.
Bai Leng was the No. 3 most important person of the Bai Family. He was familiar with the two warriors of the n.o.ble Lord Realm in the Bai Family. At this moment, though, he was certain—the one that had made that move was definitely not the Old Man of Heaven Prison, nor Bai Xi.
"Who was that? Why is he trying to save Lu Li?"
Bai Leng’s white hair was dancing. His eyebrows were knitted together as he felt not a single trace of joy. Rather, his eyes were filled with glints of pressure. A mysterious warrior of the n.o.ble Lord Realm suddenly showed up at the Thousand-island Lake, and yet the Bai Family had received no information about it. This was unsettling for Bai Leng.
Silence was all over the place. The sea of flowers gradually disappeared underneath Zi Huanyu. Everyone was scanning over to Lu Li with their psychic powers, trying to locate that mysterious powerful warrior.
Just…
Even Bai Leng, with his powerful psychic power, couldn’t find any powerful warrior lurking around after he had probed the area with a radius of more than 30 miles.
"Where did he go?"
There could only be two possibilities if he couldn’t detect the existence of anyone. Either this man had in his possession very powerful invisible techniques, or he left immediately through the bottom of the lake after he made his move.
"Whoosh, whoos.h.!.+"
Ding Gui had flown to the Iron-armored s.h.i.+p with Lu Li, together with the other two patriarchs of the Ding Family. After some consideration, Bai Qiuxue gave a decisive order, "Leave!"
This place was too unsafe. Only after they got deep into the sphere of the Thousand-island Lake would they be completely safe. No matter who that powerful warrior was, at least they didn’t have any danger now. Bai Leng could only have room to advance or retreat after they were gone.
Ding Gui took control of the Iron-armored s.h.i.+p and quickly flew away. They soon vanished into the distance. This time, it was Zi Huanyu that was on the horns of dilemma. Those of the Yu Family had fled, so should he stay or leave? If he stayed, he might get killed. But Zi Lian hadn’t come out yet so it was not okay for him to leave, either.
"Hmm!"
Then a humph of an old man came out, earth-shaking. All the powerful warriors tried to find the source of the sound with their psychic powers but even Bai Leng couldn’t find it.
An old voice soon uttered the words, "All the warriors that don’t belong to the Thousand-island Lake, get out. If you interfere with my close-door cultivation again, I will kill you with no questions asked."
That voice sounded h.o.a.ry, dimly discernible and somewhat deep and coa.r.s.e. n.o.body could tell where it came from. It was like a sound coming down from the heaven, clearly resounding through everyone’s ears.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Zi Huanyu and all the warriors of the Iron-armored s.h.i.+ps instantly flew out and rushed towards the Cliff of Purgatory. Three Iron-armored s.h.i.+ps glistened and flew out of the Thousand-island Lake.
Who dared to provoke an old freaky warrior of the n.o.ble Lord Realm? If they stayed on any longer at the Thousand-island Lake, they would become the next Yu Feijia.
Bai Leng stayed put, though. He was doubting. The original voice was hard to tell on account of the fact that it was not clear. Who was that? Was he really some old freaky man that had spent his years in close-door cultivation as a hermit from society? Was he upset that somebody not from the Thousand-island Lake was committing violence here so he made a move to scare them off?
Bai Leng was not afraid of this man. He could tell from the move that man made just now that he had merely reached the n.o.ble Lord Realm. Even Bai Xi could have suppressed him easily, let alone the Old Man of Heaven Prison. What was more, the "Force" he had was not too strong yet.
Additionally, the mysterious man sounded like he also belonged to the Thousand-island Lake. How would he do anything ill-considered here?
The invisible technique of this man was top notch. Bai Leng tried to find him again and again. Still, he couldn’t see so he gave up.
After all, it was the Thousand-island Lake that triumphed this time. Two warriors of the Yu Family lost their Fate Wheels because of Bai Leng. Practically, two warriors of the Eternal Realm were destroyed. Yu Feijia was killed with one move by a mysterious powerful warrior. In total, three warriors of the Eternal Realm died. There was also that genius young Family Patriarch Yu Lingxu. The Family Patriarch of the Yu Family would be so p.i.s.sed off this time.
As for the revenge from the Yu Family and the Heaven Martial Kingdom?
Bai Leng didn’t worry about that at all. If the three Royal Families dared to seek revenge at the Thousand-island Lake, they would need to bring along powerful warriors and kill all the ones at the Thousand-island Lake.
As long as the Thousand-island Lake was still here for one day, the three Royal Families would have one more day of humiliation. As long as the Old Man of Heaven Prison was still alive, the three Royal Families would still be afraid to attack their way into the Thousand-island Lake.
After all while, Bai Leng saw that everyone had gone to the Cliff of Purgatory. He didn’t go back into the lake, but to the small island.
There were still people in the Tomb of Dragon King. The treasure hunt was not over yet. Even though the Coffin of Dragon King had flown away, the powerful warriors of the three Royal Kingdoms were still here. How could Bai Leng leave now?
Zi Huanyu and others were standing on the Cliff of Purgatory, looking gloomy as they all felt disgraced. They were itchy to leave now. Yet, their young masters and young ladies were still inside so they were worried. Therefore, they had to wait on the Cliff of Purgatory in embarra.s.sment.
"Screech~"
Several hours later, a goshawk landed on the small island. Bai Leng took a note off from the leg of the goshawk, read it and nodded slightly.
Bai Qiuxue and the others had arrived at the Black Tooth Island. Right now, they should be teleporting to the Heaven Prison Island. They were not officially safe.
"Come and send a message back!"
After some thoughts, Bai Leng shouted in a deep voice. A scout of the Bai Leng came from nowhere. He knelt down and said, "Lord Leng, what is the word."
Bai Leng ordered, "Send a message back to the family about the matter happened here. Have our family to send someone to investigate the powerful warrior of the n.o.ble Lord Realm. Also, tell Yan about Lu Li’s situation and ask her to do as she sees fit."
The scout quickly readied the note and had the goshawk to send bring it back. That was a kind of airborne Xuan Beast specifically used for sending messages. It was fast. The message would get to the Heaven Prison City in no time. Bai Leng didn’t want to concern himself about what was going to happen later. He was the Patriarch of the Hall of Combat. There were other Patriarchs to deal with the rest of the matter.
"Xuan Skill of the soul catergory?"
In Bai Leng’s mind was the shocking roar Lu Li gave out and Bai Qiuxue’s a.s.sumption. He looked towards the direction of the Heaven Prison Island and coldly said, "Punk, if you know how to behave, you will find a place at the Thousand-island Lake. Our Qiuxue thinks very highly of you. Maybe you can become a proud son-in-law of our family. Everything depends on if you have any sense how to act."
