n.o.body spoke. None of them knew what to do. The Yu Family army was here. Even if just one or two warriors of the Eternal Realm came, it would be impossible for them to fight back, let alone Yu Huashen would be here. After a while, Pei An asked, "Where is Island Owner Lu?"
The scout of the Pei Family did some thinking and said, "He should be at the Blood Evil Island. All those that came from the Blood Evil Island went back. Island Owner Lu should be over there."
"Hmm!"
The Island Owner of the Devil Island snorted and said, "It is no use to find him. At best, he can kill some warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm. There are Eternal Realm warriors of the Yu Family. They must have sent over two or three of those. Don"t count on him. He doesn’t want to help us in the first place."
"Right!"
Another Patriarch added coldly, "Counting on him? I"d rather hope for Island Owner Xu to come back to life. What is Lu Li? He just relies on Hunchback Tian. Does he really think he can kill warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm? A b.a.s.t.a.r.d that has just reached the Soul Pond Realm and he just earned his place by hooking up with ladies of the Bai Family. Pff!"
"Right, he is a gigolo that lives off a woman…"
Some warriors clearly liked the Xu Family better and now they were talking in favor of the Xu Family. They were about to die now so they threw their concerns out of the window.
The others didn’t say anything. After this thing happened, Lu Li only met with them once to tell them to go on their own. To speak ill of Lu Li wouldn’t do any good now. n.o.body was counting on him.
"What are you waiting for?"
The Island Owner of the Killers Island shouted in anger, "Send out some scouts to have a look around. Find some chances to kill some b.a.s.t.a.r.ds and then let us go on our own. To think about so many things is useless. Let us fight. Death is nothing. In another lifetime, we will be heroes again."
"Yes!"
Many people agreed. Pei An nodded and said, "Then go back and call upon your men. Then we will gather at the dock. I will arrange some scouts to gather information. Let us find a chance to kill our way out."
Everyone left for their residence at the moment. They called on all their warriors and disciples and went to the dock.
Pei An also took his warriors to the dock as well. There were many battles.h.i.+ps outside the dock, at least 100 or 200 of them.
All the families, big or small, of the G.o.d-down Island partic.i.p.ated in the fight. They wanted to grasp an opportunity to kill their way out. If they could make it out of the Thousand-island Lake, it would be for the best. If not, then the more they could kill, the better.
As for the seniors, the females and children, they were all left in the G.o.d-down Island. If they were to leave with the warriors, they would still be faced with death all the same.
"Report, the Yu Family Iron-armored s.h.i.+ps are 300 miles away and they will arrived in three hours."
"Report, from the Sun-down Island come thirty s.h.i.+ps with about one or two thousands of warriors. I can tell there are four Fate Wheel Realm warriors."
"Report, from the Killers Island come 40 s.h.i.+ps…"
"Report, from the Tiger Island…"
The best of the scouts from different families were sent out to find out information about their enemies and look for chances to get out. But none of the news was good news as there were armies at all fronts. They were all led by Fate Wheel Realm warriors. There was no way out, nor the chance to kill too many of the armies.
With time pa.s.sing by, the Yu Family Iron-armored s.h.i.+ps were getting closer. If they wasted more time in choosing a path, they would be met with the Yu Family. Any one of the Eternal Realm warrior from the Yu Family could kill all the Family Patriarchs and Island Owners in an instant…
"Okay. Warriors of the Killers Island, come on board and let’s go east."
The Island Owner of the Killers Island was enraged. To wait was no solution. It would be better if he could die in battle. As soon as the Killers Island made a move, the other Island Owners could not stay any longer. They all asked their warriors and disciples to board the battles.h.i.+ps and chose a random direction to go.
"Go on, fight."
Pei An sighed. He waved his hand and asked every one of the Pei Family to go. There was no good chance at all. There was no direction for them to break out of the encirclement. All they could do was to fight till their last breaths. The more they could kill, the better. The more could flee, the better.
"Report—"
Right at that moment, a scout rushed over with an eagle in his hand and shouted, "There is a mysterious powerful warrior at the Killers Island. He killed three Fate Wheel Realm warriors on his own and all the enemies are killed by him by now."
"Ah?"
Pei An and the others looked at each other in disbelief. Pei An thought for a while and said with his eyes glowing, "Is that man wearing a Ghost Mask?"
Many people were uplifted. It was known to all that there was a mysterious warrior by Lu Li’s side. Even though they didn’t know which realm he was at, but they a.s.sumed he should be at least at the Fate Wheel Realm given how powerful he was.
"No!"
But what the scout said confused them. The scout continued, "The message didn’t say that the man was wearing a mask. It just said that the man was as fast as a ghost and there was no way to take a clear look at him. He had two black hooks and his face was blurry. The three Fate Wheel Realm warriors were killed by him in one move. They were killed by his hooks."
"Ah?"
Everybody was shocked. The only ones that could kill Fate Wheel Realm warriors at such ease were the ones at the Eternal Realm. But there was no Eternal Realm warrior at the Thousand-island Lake that used hooks.
"Come back now!"
Pei An jumped back from the battles.h.i.+p and told the scout, "Ask our brothers to keep on looking and send back information as soon as they can."
They all went ash.o.r.e and filled with excitement. After two hours, another eagle flew over. The scout leader of the Pei Family took the note off and said with joy, "This is a message from the Sun-down Island. All the enemies are killed by a powerful warrior with hooks. His face is blurry and he should be at least the Eternal Realm."
"So quickly…"
Pei An and the others were shocked. The Killers Island and the Sun-down Island were not close to each other. After putting on a killing spree at the Killers Island, this man had gone to the Sun-down Island immediately and killed enemies there?
"There is a way out. I think we can be saved."
Pei An was so excited that his mustache was shaking. The other Island Owners and Family Patriarchs were feeling restless. It all relied on whether this mysterious powerful warrior could defeat or kill warriors of the Yu Family.
Thinking of this, Pei An asked, "Where are the Yu Family Iron-armored s.h.i.+ps at now?"
The scout thought about it and said, "I think they should be at the Blood Evil Island now."
"The Blood Evil Island?"
Many people looked at each other and put on a mocking smile. Did Lu Li think that he could be safer at the Blood Evil Island? He would die sooner than them.
…
In the Blood Evil Island, there were scouts coming and sending back reports constantly. However, the scouts sent by the Liu Family could only search an area with a radius of 30 miles as the Liu Family didn’t have too many people.
"Bang!"
Right at that moment, a jade talisman in Liu Yi’s hand broke. There was a glint of coldness in her eyes as she said, "Liu s.h.i.+jiu is dead. The enemies are here. Go and report to our Island Owner."
When the scouts were about to leave, there came a vigorous voice from the outside, "No need, I am here!"
Liu Yi and the others soon came to greet Lu Li at the door. He had come with two men. One of them was very familiar to Liu Yi, Ming Yu with the Ghost Mask on. The other one, on the other hand, was a mystery. This person’s face was blurry.
"Um…"
Patriarch Nine tried to sense this man’s qi and energy but failed. Somehow, people had this strong feeling that this man was powerful, even more so than Ming Yu.
"Finally," Hunchback Tian smiled and murmured in a voice that could only be heard by himself.
Lu Li walked right to the central seat, looked at the mysterious man and said, "Off you go and bring me back the leader of the Yu Family. Kill the rest."
With nothing said, the mysterious man vanished on the spot. His speed was so fast that it was frightening.
Ming Yu’s eyes glared. He looked at Lu Li, feeling like he could no longer understand his Young Master…
Sensing Ming Yu’s looks, Lu Li turned to him and said in a low voice, "I know what you want to know but I cannot tell you now. I can only say that…even if it is Yu Huashen who will be here, that man can kill him as well."
