"Boom!"

A muffled explosion sound came from a regal fortress in the Yu Emperor City at the east of the Heaven Martial Kingdom. A huge hole appeared on the wall of the fortress through which a man was smashed out. The blood covered man rolled over on the ground and died.

A group of important figures of the Yu Family were standing in the glamorous fortress. They all kept quiet out of fear, looking at a middle-aged man as strong as a huge beast.

Yu Feinong was in the group of men. His face was covered in fear. The Family Patriarch, Yu Huashen, already killed a scout in a fit of rage.

Even though it was just a scout that died, anyone could die if something wrong was said judging by the looks of Yu Huashen.

Yu Huashen seemed to be a middle-aged man with sturdy frame. His black hair hung on his shoulders. He was wearing a black elegant robe. His eyes were large and kind of sticking out, and his rage made him very much resemble the looks of an angry lion king.

"The Thousand-island Lake has gone too far, too far!"

Yu Huasheng shouted. With his shout, there came a surge of qi and energy that was ferocious as those of a beast. The more than a dozen men here became even more terrified.

After he bellowed for a while, the terrifying qi and energy from Yu Huashen gradually died down. He looked less angry as well, though still awful.

He glanced over everyone in the hall and said in a cold voice, "Why don’t you say anything? You have lost your voices? How can we make it even? How can we get revenge for Lingxu? Tell me?"

Yu Huashen had made it clear that it must be made even and Yu Lingxu’s revenge must be done. A skinny Patriarch of the Yu Family stood forward after some thoughts, "Family Patriarch, how about we send somebody into the Thousand-island Lake secretly and get him back the same way as soon as he kills Lu Li? As long as there is no evidence, even the Old Man of Heaven Prison cannot say anything."

Many patriarchs’ eyes lit up. Everything happened because of Lu Li. Yu Lingxu was killed by Lu Li. As long as Lu Li was out of the picture, Yu Lingxu would be revenged and Yu Family’s humiliation could come to an end.

As for seeking revenge from Bai Leng or the Bai Family? Nobody thought about it. The Old Man of Heaven Prison was still alive. Not even the Zi Family, let alone the Yu Family, had the guts.

Another Patriarch stepped forward and said, "Right. As long as we lay out a scheme beforehand and find a chance, we can leave as soon as we kill. The Old Man of Heaven Prison will not go to war if the Bai Family cannot get any evidence."

Many people nodded along. Yu Huashen, however, said with a cold smile, "What if there is evidence? That ancient Old Man of Heaven Prison once had struck a deal with us three forces. Once any piece of proof gets into his hands when we send people in, everything we earned in 10,000 years will be gone."

Silence fell. Many people felt chills on their backs simply thinking about it.

Everything would be fine as long as there was no proof. But there was always an "in case". What if the Bai Family sent someone to stay near to Lu Li?

What if the Bai Family secretly laid out a deliberate plan and the Yu Family man go in and then caught the guy? At that time, the Old Man of Heaven Prison could launch an attack on the Yu Emperor City in a fit of rage. Even the Zi Family wouldn’t be able to protect the Yu Family.

"It’s easy!"

That skinny Patriarch coldly said, "We can still fashion a way to kill Lu Li without going into the Thousand-island Lake. We don’t use covert scheme. We will employ overt plans. The Old Man of Heaven Prison cannot do anything even if he knows."

"Oh?"

Yu Huashen’s eyes lit up. The skinny old man’s name was Yu Lun. He was not particularly strong, only at the initial stage of the Eternal Realm. Yet he was a crucial figure in the Yu Family because he was the think tank. His nickname was the Viper. If he said so, then he must be confident.

All the other Patriarchs looked at Yu Lun, waiting for his insight. Yu Lun smiled arrogantly and said, "We can make a plan to lure Lu Li out without going in. Or…we can make someone in the Thousand-island Lake to kill Lu Li. If Lu Li comes out on his own or dies in the hands of the warrior of the Thousand-island Lake, then the Old Man of Heaven Prison won’t have anything to say."

"Right!"

Several Patriarchs nodded. One of them asked, "Then how can we make Lu Li come out? Lu Li now should be valued by the Bai Family very much, right? How will a warrior of the Thousand-island Lake dare to lay a hand on Lu Li?"

Yu Lun smiled mysteriously, cupped his fists and said, "Family Patriarch, leave the matter to me. I can make sure that Lu Li cannot live longer than half a year."

"Okay!"

Yu Huashen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Every Patriarch of the Family will cooperate you fully. Whatever you need you will get. I want you to come back here with Lu Li’s head in half a year’s time to offer sacrifices to my grandson."

"Yes!"

All the Patriarchs answered. They were all excited. Since Yu Lun was so confident, then the matter basically would go according to his plan. Lu Li would die without a doubt in half a year.

…

Blood Evil Island.

Lu Li had no idea that a viper had fixed his eyes on him. He had been living quite comfortably these days. Living here at the Dragon Elephant Mountain was like staying at his own home, very cozy.

His wounds were almost cured. For these days, he had been cultivating Xuan Energy, and trying to perceive the Heaven Grade Xuan Skill "Apparition". This was the first Heaven Grade Xuan Skill that he had ever got. This stuff couldn’t be bought with Xuan Crystals. Of course, he would start cultivating as soon as possible.

The Heaven Grade Xuan Skill was sophisticated. After several days, Lu Li had only stretched the surface. It was hard for him to gain an initial idea, let alone cultivating.

The Blood Evil Island was quite lively these days. All the Third-rank Island and Second-rank forces and Families nearby sent presents, saying that they were here visiting Lu Li because he was injured. Lu Li received none of them. It was needless for him to receive people of such levels. Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven entertained them nicely, feeling very empowered.

Patriarch Seven paid close attention to the mission Lu Li gave him. He had gone to the Xu Family in person to send a gift in return. Then after a couple of days, he went to visit the Chief Patriarch of the Xu Family. He also brought someone with him to purchase all kinds of things, seeds of the Blood Caterpillar Fruits, Blood Rhinoceros, low-level Xuan Beasts, and Xuan Skills, etc….

It was as if the God-down City was filled with the Liu Family. None in the city paid any attention. Lu Li was famous now so it was only normal for the Liu Family to come out and show off. It was understandable that the Liu Family wanted to buy materials on a large scale to develop.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Patriarch Seven personally brought several cases of books to the Dragon Elephant Mountain. The introduction of high level Mystical Materials Lu Li asked for had been bought back. There were several dozen books, on which recorded rare Mystical Materials of the Northern Desert and even the Central Plains.

Lu Li was inspired with enthusiasm. He read through the books overnight, and took out the Mystical Materials in his Interspatial Ring to compare.

On the books recorded tens of thousands of Mystical Materials. The description was simple, just about what a certain Mystical Materials looked like and what was the effect.

This was enough. Lu Li spent a whole night reading. The more he read, the more excited he became. He had almost apprised all the 30 Mystical Materials in the Interspatial Ring.

There really wasn’t even one piece of low-level thing among the treasures of the Dragon King. Every plant was of about the same level of the Heaven Serpent Fruit. In other words—every plant of the 36 Mystical Materials would be worth several tens of millions of Xuan Crystals.

In the time for another several incense sticks to burn, Lu Li finally done with the 36 Mystical Materials. Now the only one left was the golden dragon-shaped grass in the six jade boxes.

He browsed through the books, reading through the introduction of many kinds of Mystical Materials. But he was disappointed: he had read more than 20 books now and still was nowhere near to finding one with a description similar to the golden dragon-shaped grass.

Five books later, Lu Li found the introduction of the golden dragon-shaped grass. After he confirmed, he was trembling. The name of the golden dragon-shaped grass was – Rising Dragon Grass.

The Rising Dragon Grass, one plant could be sold at 800 million or one billion!
