"Really?"
Lu Feixue's eyes immediately lit up. As long as the location of Lu Renhuang was certain, they could figure out a way to rescue him sooner or later.
Lu Feixue was uplifted. She kept asking about Lu Renhuang and Lu Li answered all her questions. But he didn't tell her where exactly Lu Renhuang was for fear that she might do something ill-considered.
"You want to go back to the Northern Desert and achieve unification?"
Lu Li then told Lu Feixue how he thought about the future. Lu Feixue considered about it and said with worry, "The Northern Desert is not a big place for sure, but it is not going to be easy to unify the entire Northern Desert. Granted, there are no Human Sovereign Realm warriors there, but I think there is quite a number of Noble Lord Realm warriors there."
"Some!"
Lu Li smiled gently and replied, "But I have some more Noble Lord Realm warriors working for me. I have quite a good relationship with the second most powerful warrior on the Northern Desert Warlord List. I can achieve unification fairly easily, but I don't have time to manage all the matters as I will be needing time to cultivate. Aunt, can you help me with managing the matters of the Northern Desert? I need to have endless supplies of resources so I can cultivate faster and grow to be stronger."
"Managing?"
Lu Feixue was shocked and then replied with worry, "I don't know how to do that. Can I do it?"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li laughed and said, "Of course. You can kill anyone that refuses to obey you. Aunt, you are born in a big family. I think you can manage a small Northern Desert."
"Fine. I'll try."
Lu Feixue nodded and she looked better. Lu Li relaxed a bit as well. He actually had people to manage the Northern Desert for him. Yu Huashen could do it. Lu Li just wanted Lu Feixue to have something to do so she wouldn't spend her time on useless thoughts.
The Iron-armored Ship flew along the coastline in the next few days. The Inhibition Formation had been on all the time, making the Iron-armored Ship invisible to naked eyes all the time. Only powerful warriors with strong psychic power could detect the ship.
In the coastal waters, there weren't powerful Xuan Beasts nor pirates. Lu Li sat for a day and then resumed cultivation.
He had just made a Fate Wheel that consumed much of his Xuan Energy, so he needed some time to cultivate to stabilize his realm. Also, he had to take some time to master and familiarize himself with the Fate Wheel.
The cultivation for the later stages of the Fate Wheel Realm required making more Fate Wheels, the second of which could not be made easily. It was more complicated than the first one. If Lu Li didn't have a solid foundation, he wouldn't be able to continue with his cultivation.
Lu Feixue started cultivating as well. She aspired to go to the Northern Desert and assist Lu Li. First of all, she had to reach the Noble Lord Realm. She had Mystical Materials now. She had a big chance of making the breakthrough as long as she worked hard enough.
Ming Yu and Yu Huashen took turns to rest and the other one would control the Iron-armored Ship. Either one of them would always be using psychic power to inspect the surroundings, ready to alert everybody should anything happen.
The next four or five days quietly went by. They ran into several Iron-armored Ships along the way, but they all made ways for each other after they scanned each side with psychic power.
Lu Li's Iron-armored Ship was one of the best at the Lu Family. Anyone that wasn't so stupid would tell this Iron-armored Ship belonged to a big family as it was pretty fast. They wouldn't create trouble here.
Five days later, Lu Feixue suddenly walked out from her cabin and woke Lu Li up.
After several days of closed-door cultivation, her body and mind were at the best state. She wanted to try to reach the Noble Lord Realm now and she needed Lu Li and the others to protect her.
It would take them more than a month to arrive at the Flowing Clouds Region. This period of time was suitable for cultivation. Lu Feixue had the King Kong Bloodline. Once she reached the Noble Lord Realm, she would become more powerful and she would be able to help Lu Li out.
Lu Li was happy that Lu Feixue wanted to do this. He told her to make her best efforts and not to worry about anything as they were here for her.
To reach the Noble Lord Realm would take at least five or six days. Nobody could disturb Lu Feixue at this time or the Mystical Materials would go into waste.
Lu Feixue nodded and went back to her cabin. Lu Li didn't cultivate. Ming Yu and Yu Huashen came out as well. Lu Li sat with his legs crossed outside of Lu Feixue's cabin. Yu Huashen went to the deck at the front while Ming Yu took control of the Iron-armored Ship.
Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were both inspecting the surroundings at all times. They couldn't afford to be careless when Lu Li was protecting Lu Feixue in person.
Lu Li sat for a while. He felt it was boring since he didn't have psychic power, not to mention Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were the ones inspecting the surroundings for them. As such, Lu Li started cultivating as well. After all, he would be informed if someone were there to attack Lu Feixue.
Four days went by in peace. Lu Li was taking a nap, leaning against the door of the cabin since he hadn't slept for four days and he was exhausted.
Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were sleepy as well but they were powerful enough to hold on longer. They dared not to let their guards down for one single moment.
"Young Master, incoming attacks!"
In a daze, Lu Li heard Yu Huashen's shouts. Lu Li opened his eyes at once and looked forward.
Ahead of them came six Iron-armored Ships spreading out in a fan, blocking Lu Li's way. Ming Yu stopped the Iron-armored Ship and stepped over to Lu Li.
"They must be pirates. They have six Noble Lord Realm warriors. One of them is at the peak, and three at the later stage. More than 20 are at the Eternal Realm, and the rest are at the Fate Wheel Realm. Altogether, there are more than 100 of them."
Ming Yu explained. Lu Li asked in confusion, "How come they know where we are? I don't think their Iron-armored Ships are fast enough to catch up with ours."
Yu Huashen looked at the pirates and said, " I think some other pirates along the way sensed our presence and sent a message to them to wait for us here. Young Master, what do we do?"
"Have a talk with them first!"
The pirates didn't start the attacks right away. Lu Feixue was still trying to reach the Noble Lord Realm and the pirates had six Noble Lord Realms. Lu Li's side was at a disadvantage in a fight. Lu Li could kill warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm, but he was not so arrogant as to think that he could best all the warriors of this realm.
Yu Huashen activated the Inhibition Formation which wouldn't do much except for cloaking the ship.
He released his Bead of Life, stood in midair and shouted, "Where are you from? Why are you stopping our ship?"
"Nothing much!"
The one at the peak of Noble Lord Realm grinned. He had a scar on his face, giving him a ferocious look. He seemed to be a middle-aged man with strong build, and he had a huge axe in his hand. He laughed coldly and said, "I am Liu Renxiong and I am the master of this area. Who are you? Do you know nothing about rules by flying so casually over my territory?"
Yu Huashen was once an overlord himself so his behavior was quite impressive. He scorned and said, "So you are Master Liu. It's not enough who we are. Just tell us what kind of rules you have."
Yu Huashen seemed to know what he was doing. Liu Renxiong grinned and said, "I have so many men to feed. Can you give us some Xuan Crystals? We don't want many. Merely 20 billion will do."
"What, 20 billion?"
Lu Li smiled coldly. Did the pirates really think that they were such pushovers?
Lu Li thought about it and walked over on the deck. He cupped his fists and said, "I am Qiu Ze of the Palace of Gods. Master Liu, 20 billion Xuan Crystals is nothing. But we left our family in a hurry so we don't have so many with us. I can give you one billion. Can you let us go?"
"Palace of Gods?"
Liu Renxiong's eyes glowed coldly and he said, "Palace of Gods has no business out in the ocean. Don't waste your breaths. Give me 20 billion or I will cut you into pieces and feed you to the fish."
Lu Li became impatient. His Fate Wheel glowed in his abdomen as he said, "So you cannot make it happen? If you want to fight, I will do it. Armies from the Palace of Gods will be here in no time. Liu Renxiong, you will die sooner or later!"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Liu Renxiong laughed, waved his axe, and shouted, "Brothers, this is a fat fish. Seize this toy boy and then ask for 100 billion Xuan Crystals from the Palace of Gods. Everyone will have meat today. Kill them!"
