The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Ye Cha recalled Lu Li’s question so he asked, "Saint Lord, do you have an enemy at the Thousand-island Lake? If it is too risky, you can hide here for half a year. Then we will leave in disguise. We call kill all your enemies for you."

"It’s okay~"

Lu Li waved his hand and said, "My enemies don’t dare to go into the Thousand-island Lake in broad daylight. n.o.body in the Thousand-island Lake dares to lay a hand on me for now. I am living on the island just outside of the Inhibition Formation. I can be teleported back here as soon as something goes wrong."

"Okay!"

Ye Cha responded with a nod, "Be careful, Saint Lord. We will send somebody to protect you at your side in half a year."

"That’s not the important thing."

Lu Li’s eyes were filled with zest as he said, "I need to go to the Central Plains as soon as possible. After you make the breakthrough, take me there. If possible… take me to the Cyan Plains as well."

"Central Plains?"

Ye Cha and the four Patriarchs’ expressions changed. Patriarch Four shook his head and said, "We cannot go to the Central Plains. We can’t."

"Why?" Lu Li was confused. He had given them billions of Xuan Crystals-worth of Mystical Materials just for them to take him to the Central Plains someday. If it could not be done, then why would he give them the Rising Dragon Gra.s.ses?

"Saint Lord, I have mentioned this to you…"

Ye Cha sighed and said, "The ancestral ground of our two races were at the Central Plains. We were destroyed by the allied forces of the six families 5000 years ago, the most powerful families of the Central Plains. Think about it…can we live if we go there and are found out by the six families? Everyone in the small world will be killed by the six families immediately."

"Therefore…"

Ye Cha said seriously, "It is okay if you want us to leave here because the Northern Desert is located at the northernmost place. For the Big Families of the Central Plains, this is a marginalized place. n.o.body in the Big Families even cares about this. None of the disciples or the scouts of the Big Families will set foot to this place. As long as we are careful and hide our ident.i.ty, we will be fine. But the chances of us getting discovered will be increased greatly once we leave the Northern Desert. Central Plains is where the Big Families s.h.i.+ne."

Another Patriarch added, "Saint Lord, during our prime days, we had five warriors of the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm, 16 at the Human Sovereign Realm and numerous other powerful warriors of other Realms. Under the pressure of the six families, our two races were undermined. None of the powerful warriors lived on after a single night. Do you think we can withhold the six families based on how few warriors we have now once we are found?"

"Five at the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm and 16 of the Human Sovereign Realm?"

Lu Li was dumbfounded. He felt like his mind was confused and he was shocked to his core…

He thought about how strong the six families would be but this was unexpected. There were 21 warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm but they were killed by the six families overnight? Then how many powerful warriors of the six families were there in total?

Unimaginable!

There was no warrior of the Human Sovereign Realm at the Northern Desert, but there were at least a dozen on the six families’ side. And he wanted to bring the two races back to their ancestral ground leveraging only his strength, fighting against dozens of warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm, hundreds of the n.o.ble Lord Realm, tens of thousands of Eternal Realm, hundreds of thousands of the Fate Wheel Realm, and millions of the Soul Pond Realm…

"F*ck!"

Lu Li suddenly felt like he was being misguided. Could any person do this? Would his father Lu Renhuang, not to mention him, be able to lead the two races back to their ancestral ground? Could Lu Renhuang fight against so many powerful warriors?

"Saint Lord, don’t you worry about this."

Ye Cha saw Lu Li’s expressions and said with a smile, "If the Heaven Augury Spell is accurate, then you will lead us back. If it is not, then it is how G.o.d intends it. We will not blame you. You just let it be and don’t worry too much."

Hearing the words from Ye Cha, Lu Li felt his pressure was off a bit. That was right, doing everything in his power would suffice. If it could not be done, he would die a futile death like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

After some thoughts, Lu Li asked again because he could not let it go, "Then can you send me to the outside of the Central Plains? I can go in by myself."

"That is fine!" Ye Cha said with certainty, "As long as we don’t go in, it will be fine. We just need to remain low-key."

"Okay!"

Finally, some good news. The Central Plains was a big place for sure, but the Lu Family was a big force as well. As long as he could find somebody from the Lu Family, he could go back and what happened after that would be easily managed.

"Alright!"

What needed to be discussed was all covered. Lu Li felt it was unnecessary for him to stay any longer so he said, "Go back and try to get to the n.o.ble Lord Realm. I will go back now. After you make the breakthrough, you can go out and find me. I will come back in half a year as well."

Ye Cha and the others bowed to him and said, "Farewell, Saint Lord!"

Lu Li left in a flash of white glare. Ye Cha and the others didn’t leave immediately. They were deep in their thoughts, staring at the white stone dimming down.

After a while, Patriarch Four said with a sigh, "Clan Leader, are the Rising Dragon Gra.s.ses really from the Tomb of the Dragon King?"

"They should be!"

Ye Cha answered after some deliberation, "If somebody else gave them to him, he wouldn’t need to test us. Saint Lord is a blessed man now that he could get such valued treasure in the Tomb of the Dragon King. Let’s go back and try to reach the n.o.ble Lord Realm. We can go out soon."

"Let’s go!"

The four patriarchs were inspired by the thought that they could go out. They all rushed towards the clan in a blur, vanis.h.i.+ng into the distance.

…

Lu Li had Hunchback Tian carry him to the Dragon Elephant Mountain after he got out.

The night was cloudy, the moonlight was dim, and the stars scarce. Lu Li stood on the peak of the mountain by himself, gazing into the south. After half a night, he went back to sleep.

As soon as Lu Li woke up the next morning, he started closed-door cultivation. He planned to reach the Soul Pond Realm with all his efforts and try to perceive the Apparition.

Patriarch Seven had embarked on his mission. He allocated some disciples of the Liu Family to secretly build the temporary residence for Lu Li at the Earth Dragon Island. The residence was built inside a mountain next to the volcano. Patriarch Seven dug the belly of the mountain open, ready to build a concealed fortress inside which would make it difficult to be spotted.

Hunchback Tian would go there every now and then to construct some Inhibition Formations himself. He covered the Earth Dragon Island with numerous Inhibition Formations, and now, even a small bird flying in would trigger the Inhibition Formations and be detected.

In 15 days, the temporary residence was done.

Lu Li spent the half month in cultivation, yet still, he hadn’t scratched the surface of the Apparition which made him doubtful about his ability. After he asked Hunchback Tian, he learned that it was normal. Some Heaven Grade Xuan Skill could be understood even in several years…

Lu Li and Hunchback Tian went to the Earth Dragon Island secretly to check on the new temporary residence. He was satisfied. The palace was built in the mountain close enough to the crater. The palace was not too glamorous but tasteful.

There were many vents, enough for the air to circulate. The most critical thing was that it was concealed. Lu Li wouldn’t be able to find it without Hunchback Tian showing him the way.

Lu Li moved here with Hunchback Tian and Little White quietly. n.o.body was living on the Earth Dragon Island now. The island was filled with small beasts, and it was a much bigger place compared with the Dragon Elephant Mountain, which Little White liked a lot.

Inside the fortress on the Dragon Elephant Mountain, there was a man staying on guard throughout the year sent by Patriarch Seven. Should anything go down, he could break a jade talisman to send a warning.

Lu Li stayed in his closed-door training. This time, though, he only cultivated for four days before Hunchback Tian came with a piece of news.

Several Liu Family disciples left behind after the war in the Wu Ling County were brought into the Thousand-island Lake and they had arrived at the Blood Evil Island. They had brought some news of the Wu Ling County and the Di Long Tribe. Liu Yi asked Lu Li to go over.

"The Di Long Tribe?"

Lu Li frowned. Even though he was born there, he had no attachment to that place. He didn’t want to go back there again in his entire life, so he cared not much about the Di Long Tribe’s information.

Yet, Lu Li stared off towards the Blood Evil Island, thinking about the Sixth Granduncle, the only one who cared for him and his sister.
