Chapter 1143: The Ice HunterTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Have you seen this man before?”
Lu Li took out a portrait after he was done tending to his wounds and showed it to the Deaf Taoist and Tang. The latter looked at the portrait, confused.
The Deaf Taoist recognized the portrait and said at once, “He is named Lu Renhuang? Three months ago, I met him, but he was defeated by me. You want to find him, my lord?”
“Thank you!”
Lu Li nodded, “He is my father. I am looking for him. Do you know where he is now?”
“What?”
The Deaf Taoist dropped to his knees, “Lord, forgive me. I did not know that he is your father and I didn"t control my powers. But your father is impressive. His ice-related Profound Meaning was about to reach the ultimate state. He even froze me inside the ice.”
“Ice-related Profound Meaning?” Tang seemed to remember something. “Is he the Legendary Ice Hunter?”
Lu Li frowned in confusion. “What Ice Hunter?”
Tang explained, “It is said that there is a lunatic, well… warrior, proficient at ice-related Profound Meaning in the Prison of Ice. His Profound Meaning of ice is strong, and he keeps challenging others. His strength will grow at intervals. His Profound Meaning of ice is good, and he can freeze anyone inside. Many warriors wanted to chase after him but could not because they were frozen.”
“Then he is my father.”
Lu Li heard from the Sky Questioner and Feng Aoxue that Lu Renhuang would challenge other warriors and he was progressing by leaps and bounds. Lu Li did not respond to Tang"s explanation and asked the Deaf Taoist again, “Do you know where my father is right now?”
“I don"t. The last time I met him was three months ago. n.o.body knew where he has gone to.”
The Deaf Taoist shook his head and then added, “Lord, don"t worry. I will send a message and have someone look for your father.”
“Okay!”
Lu Li nodded. The Deaf Taoist screamed. Not long afterward, from the distance came a man who was not in a high realm but was alarmingly fast. Lu Li sensed the presence of Profound Meaning of wind on this man, but he should have combined it with other Profound Meanings.
“Send my words!”
The Deaf Taoist said. “Say that I am looking for the Ice Hunter. It"s an important matter. Send a message to me immediately if anyone knows where the Ice Hunter is. I will owe anyone that can find the Ice Hunter. Tell him that his family is looking for him.”
“Okay!”
The man was short, and he smiled a fawning smile. He cupped his fists to the Deaf Taoist, Lu Li, and Tang dashed out. Soon, he vanished into the distance.
“My lord, please wait in patience!”
The Deaf Taoist said, “This man will send my words soon. In half a month at most, I will hear from him. Your father will be found as long as he is in the Prison of Ice.”
“Okay!”
Lu Li nodded and let the Deaf Taoist tend to his wounds. Tang said, “Lord, I will ask some friends to find your father. Please have a rest here.”
Tang was sensible. Lu Li entered the Wicked Bead and let He Yue send out subsidiary bodies to search while he waited.
Lu Li began to cultivate in the Wicked Bead. Ten days or half a month could pa.s.s by soon in cultivation. Maybe when he stopped, Lu Renhuang would have been found.
Lu Li started to study the Map of Fundamental Principles while he deliberated about the Emperor of Heaven Reverse"s words—Origin Fundamental Principle, everything with an origin. Truth, vanity, void, and illusionary perceptions were intertwined together. The focus was on the origin and truth.
Origin and truth were fairly easy to understand. The origin and the truth must be respected. But what did it have to do with the Map of Fundamental Principles? This was the point Lu Li was struggling on. Maybe… the words said by Emperor of Heaven Reverse made Lu Li more confused.
“I can go to the Prison of Wind when I find my father!”
Lu Li made up his mind. In the Prison of Ice, Lu Renhuang progressed fast in Profound Meanings related to ice. It was possible that in the Prison of Wind, Lu Li would be inspired and have an epiphany about the Profound Meaning.
He also wanted to explore the Prison of Darkness and Prison of Soul and eventually, the Prison of Thunder. He didn"t have to go across the Prison of Thunder. He only intended to go and let Little White stay there. If Little White could absorb the powers there, Little White would leap forward. Maybe, he could go to the Divinity with Lu Li.
Time zipped by. Soon, 17 days pa.s.sed. The Deaf Taoist was almost recovered from his wounds. After all, his physical body was strong, and his self-healing ability was strong.
The peaceful time came to an end when two people came from the distance. The Deaf Taoist opened his eyes. It was the short Semi-G.o.d Realm man and an elder at the Earth Immortal Realm.
“Lu Feng, what is this?”
The Deaf Taoist looked at the short Semi-G.o.d Realm man. He didn"t report anything back after more than a dozen days and he brought back an Earth Immortal Realm warrior?
Lu Feng cupped his fists. “Lord, he works for the Ice Hunter and says that he has information.”
“Really?”
The Deaf Taoist looked at the Earth Immortal Realm elder and ferociously said, “Where is the Ice Hunter?”
The Earth Immortal Realm elder hesitatingly said, “Didn"t you tell me that his family is looking for him? Lord Lu Feng, did you lie to me?”
“Just answer me. Don"t waste my time!”
The Deaf Taoist was displeased and was growing violent. An Earth Immortal Realm warrior dared to disobey him? What was this elder doing?
“Shut up!”
A cold voice came out from the Wicked Bead. He Yue had woken up Lu Li. He came out and dashed over. The Earth Immortal Realm warrior threw a look and got down on his knees in joy. “Grand Master!”
Lu Li came out because he recognized this man, a patriarch from the Demon-slaying Hall, surnamed Ye. He was from a branch of the Ye Family and had accompanied Lu Renhuang to the Prison of Ice.
“Lord!”
The Deaf Taoist dropped to his knees at once, scared. Lu Li had shut him up. The former must be furious.
“Lord, I am Lu Feng.”
Lu Feng also knelt in fear now that the Deaf Taoist had done so. Patriarch Ye was startled by this. It had only been several years. Since when did Lu Li become so powerful? Even warriors in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos had to kneel to him and the Deaf Taoist was referring to Lu Li as his lord?
“Patriarch Ye, please stand up.”
Lu Li helped him up and asked, “Do you know where my father is?”
“In the Prison of Wind!”
Patriarch Ye anxiously, “Lord Lu should have gone to the Prison of Wind. He was hunted down by three warriors including Blazing Huo and has to escape to the Prison of Wind. I don"t know how he is now.”
“What?”
Lu Li was shocked. He was seized with murderous intent as he asked the Deaf Taoist, “Who is Blazing Huo?”
The Deaf Taoist bitterly said, “Blazing Huo is a progenitor warrior from the Huo Family from the Hippocrene Universe. He ranks No. 2 among the Purgatory"s Top 10 and was very powerful. Lord, we should set off for the Prison of Wind immediately or your father will be fraught with grim possibilities.”
“Buzzing~”
Lu Li entered the Wicked Bead instantly and then put everyone in. He dashed toward the entrance to the Prison of Wind without wasting any time. He took out a jade talisman which belonged to Lu Renhuang and breathed in relief to see that the jade talisman was still intact.
A glint of coldness rose in his eyes as he said with anger, “Flames, you"d better don"t mess with my father, I will destroy your entire Huo Family.”
