Young Master He was the master"s fourth son. He was the most talented and the master"s most favorite. As such many people were convinced that he was going to be the future master.Therefore, it was utterly easy for Young Master He to mobilize some warriors. He told the warriors to make some trouble, pretending to a.s.sa.s.sinate somebody and that he would shoulder all the responsibilities. The warriors didn"t think that the master would punish them seriously.
But this time, they were wrong!
When Jiang Yi saw the Teleportation Formation blew up, he pulled a long face. He released Force Field at once. Horrifying killing intent surged out and he aimed at Young Master He"s head with a saber in his hands.
The master of Palace of Peaceful Heavens was frightened. He shouted right away, "Patriarch Yi, don"t. That"s my son!"
Jiang Yi didn"t know this. He put away his saber on hearing the words but he was till enraged. He rushed into another Teleportation Formation while saying, "Your stupid son has made a huge trouble. If something happens to my Young Lady, your entire family will be buried alive with her."
Jiang Qiling had gone through so much trouble to lure Jiang Yi away, so she must have gone somewhere she should not be going to with Lu Li. Otherwise, she wouldn"t be opposing the idea of having Jiang Yi following her. A place she shouldn"t go to…needless to say, was a place full of dangers. That was why Jiang Yi was fuming with anger.
The Master of Palace of Peaceful Heavens became angry as well. He shouted, "Someone come and put this idiot and all the involved away. If something happens to Young Lady Qi, they shall go to the Pavilion of Delicacy to kill themselves as an apology."
"Plop~"
The several patriarchs and deacons who were persuaded by Young Master He to do this collapsed to the ground. They were at a loss of what to do.
…
Lu Li and Jiang Qiling never stopped teleporting toward the southeast. They must make every minute count. They were trying to arrive at the Dan City before the guards at the Teleportation Formations ahead of them received any information!
That was right!
The northern entrance to the Demon-slaying Grounds was located at the Dan City. The entrances were not built, but formed naturally. Otherwise, the 12 Royal Families would have all built an entrance.
Jiang Yi would send out a message to stop Jiang Qiling and Lu Li but it would take some time. There were two ways of messaging. The first one was to send a person to pa.s.s on the message while taking Teleportation Formations, which would be slow. Lu Li and Jiang Qiling never made a stop. No matter who was sent after them, no one could catch up with the two.
The second way was through some secret means, which Jiang Qiling was afraid of. But the Palace of Peaceful Heavens could only send a message in this way within their own territory. The Palace of Peaceful Heavens couldn"t manage this at the territory of the Du Family or the Qin Family unless the message was sent to the Pavilion of Delicacy. That being said, it would also require a lot of time to accomplish this.
The Clouds City was not far away from the Dan City. Only a dozen times of teleportation would do. Currently, Jiang Qiling and Lu Li had teleported for eight times. They would be out of the Palace of Peaceful Heavens" territory. Jiang Qiling could put her mind at ease as long as they could make it the Dan City.
"Faster, faster, faster!"
After another teleportation, Jiang Qiling dragged into the next one. Then she shouted, "Activate the Teleportation Formation, now!"
The leader of the guards here frowned on hearing this. But he soon saw clearly who she was and then yelled, "Activate the Teleportation Formation."
When Jiang Qiling and Lu Li finally set foot into the Dan City, Jiang Qiling was consumed in excitement. Instead of releasing her Bead of Life, she dragged Lu Li to a cl.u.s.ter of huge castles.
Those castles belonged to the Du Family. Outside, there were warriors guarding. Seeing two people were running toward them, the several Eternal Realm guards felt stressed. One of them yelled, "Halt. This is the Du Family. Intruders will be killed on sight."
"Are you blind? Tell Du Wu that I, Jiang Qiling, am here."
Jiang Qiling yelled back but she made no stop. Finally, the few Eternal Realm warriors recognized her. n.o.body dared to stop her again. One of them rushed in to tell the patriarchs of the Du Family.
"Lady Qi, it is you. This way, please."
Another Eternal Realm warrior followed Jiang Qiling in. He apologized along the way. However, Jiang Qiling didn"t go where he pointed. Instead, she went to a different direction.
The Eternal Realm warrior didn"t dare to stop her. He had no other choice but to follow her. Soon, Jiang Qiling found a castle and said to Lu Li, "This is it. Let"s go!"
They soon made their way to the castle. But it was heavily guarded. There were two warriors at the peak of the Eternal Realm here.
"Stop!"
The two stood in front of the day. One of them said, "This is a forbidden area of the Du Family. n.o.body is allowed in without our Family Patriarch"s token."
"Are you out of your mind? I am Jiang Qiling. Move!" Jiang Qiling flipped out.
This time, the name "Jiang Qiling" wasn"t working. The two warriors at the peak of the Eternal Realm didn"t move. One of them repeated stubbornly, "n.o.body is allowed in without our Family Patriarch"s token."
Lu Li was getting nervous. Jiang Yi might be catching up soon. He would not let Jiang Qiling and Lu Li in. Without wasting any time, Jiang Qiling released her Bead of Life. Unexpectedly, she was ready to fight so quickly.
"Bang!"
The two sides were close and the Bead of Life was fast. One of the guards was pushed away. By the time the other one realized what was going on, the Bead of Life was. .h.i.tting against him already.
"Boom!"
A hole appeared on the wall. One of the guards spit out blood. They were lucky that Jiang Qiling didn"t use up all her strength or they would have been dead by now.
"Lady Qi, um…"
The guard that followed them in was stunned. But he didn"t dare to stop her or say anything. All he did was look at her gloomily.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"
The fight here alarmed many Du Family warriors. Several n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors flew their way over quickly.
"Move!"
Without looking at them, Jiang Qiling dragged Lu Li away and rushed into the castle. There was a huge Teleportation Portal, glowing in varied colors in the middle of the hall.
However…
There was a white-bearded old man sitting in front. Judging by his wrinkles and the age pigment, they could tell he was quite advanced in age.
When Jiang Qiling and Lu Li entered, the old man opened his eyes. His eyes were glowing and clear, not milky at all. His qi and energy were suffocating as well.
"Peak of the n.o.ble Lord Realm!"
Lu Li was discourage to realize the fact. Warriors of such a level were hard to beat, unless he used all his skills to try to kill the old man.
But this was the Du Family. Lu Li and Du Zheng could qualify as friends and he owed the Du Family. How could Lu Li do this?
Patriarchs of the Du Family would arrive soon. Lu Li turned to Jiang Qiling. If she said to make a move, then he must.
She didn"t make a move. She took out a white jade token with the word "Delicacy" on it. Showing it to the old man, she said, "Move. We are entering the Demon-slaying Grounds. This is a Delicacy token of the highest level."
The old man took a look and said, "I can allow this guy in. But Lady Qi, you cannot go in or Master Jiang will take my life."
"Okay!"
Jiang Qiling yelled, "Lu Li, go!"
Lu Li was overjoyed. He rushed into the colored portal and vanished. At that moment, the black b.u.t.terfly mark on Jiang Qiling"s neck lit up. A beautiful black b.u.t.terfly flew up, danged around in the air and then made a dash to the old man like a sharp sword.
"Soulfeast b.u.t.terfly!"
The old man yelled in astonishment. This skill belong to an eighth rank Bloodline, the reason that the Jiang Family could become one of the 12 Royal Families.
"Lady Qi, go cannot go in!"
"Lady Qi, please. Your action will destroy the Du Family!"
"Lady Qi…"
Several angry shouts came after her. However, Jiang Qiling had already vanished into the colored portal amid the countless b.u.t.terflies.
