Chapter 614: Lure the Enemy in Deep
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The two forces at south Serenity Plains had been on friendly terms with the Tumulus of Universe and they refused to be bought off by the Samsara Palace before on account of Ye Luo's friendship with Lu Li.
But the situation changed once a young lady from the Ji Family and a young master from the Hades Society came?
Lu Li thought of an incredibly beautiful woman. By calculation, Ji Mengtian should still be in the Blood Realm. Who dared to release her earlier when Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall exiled her?
Lu Li thought about it and asked, "Ji Family has more than one powerful young ladies?"
Hu Lang nodded as he answered, "Yes, Ji Mengtian's sister, Ji Mengyao, the famous Ji Family party girl. She is much sluttier and easier than Ji Mengtian and she specializes in temptation. According to the intelligence we gathered, Ji Mengyao had a relationship with the future family patriarchs of the two forces at the Serenity Plains. They went head over heels for her. I assume the two future patriarchs have facilitated the four forces' cooperation."
"Are you kidding?"
Lu Li asked with doubt, "How can two young masters influence decisions made by seniors? The patriarchs of the two forces are good-for-nothings?"
Major forces all had halls of patriarchs and big decisions were not made easily. Not even Family Patriarch had the authority to make a call alone. He would have to be seconded by most patriarchs. Ji Mengyao might have tempted the two future family patriarchs but the other patriarchs were not idiots. How would they change family strategy because of their future family patriarchs?
This confused Hu Lang as well. He thought about it and said, "There may be something else. I suppose the Samsara Palace and the Hades Society have something on them and blackmailed them…"
Lu Li couldn't find an answer. He asked again, "What did my sister say?"
Hu Lang answered with respect, "Saintess said that you should cultivate here. The situation at the Clouds Plains is not to be afraid of. She can handle it. She asks you to take charge of the Inferno and leave the Clouds Plains matters to us."
"Then go off to Clouds Plains. God of Meng, you go with them and answer to my sister's orders!"
Lu Li waved them away. He was about to build the final Fate Wheel and he could afford this time. There would be eight Human Sovereign Realm warriors in total, including God of Meng. The Clouds Plains was not weaker than the Serenity Plains. Even if the Clouds Plains could not win, they could defend themselves for a month.
Hu Lang brought God of Meng, Tu Hen, and hundreds of Noble Lord Realm warriors with him and left. Lu Li sent Ye Cha to go with them as well. After they were gone, Lu Li checked Ming Yu with psychic power. Ming Yu was now at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm but it would still take some time before he could reach the Human Sovereign Realm.
Situation in the Inferno was stabilized. The territory of the Fire Qilins was conquered. Many Mystical Materials were collected and delivered to Lu Feixue.
After Lu Ling left, Lu Feixue was in charge of Mystical Materials. With Hu Lang gone, Lu Li told everyone to listen to Lu Feixue's orders.
Lu Li told warriors in the Inferno to stop expansion as soon as the Mystical Materials at the Fire Qilins' territory were collected. He told them to come back to the base camp and wait till the war at Clouds Plains came to an end.
Lu Li began closed-door cultivation at once to work on the final Fate Wheel. He asked Ye Hu to offer him protection and finished the last Fate Wheel in half a month.
"Buzzing!"
A nine-layered Fate Wheel appeared. Instead of having nine colors, it was silver all around. Lu Li hopped on and flew out of the valley.
"Whoosh~"
As his Fate Wheel span fast, Lu Li reached the top speed. He disappeared amid other's stares in a blink. His speed was incredible.
"Um…"
Ming Yu, Ye Hu, and Lu Feixue looked toward where Lu Li had gone speechlessly. Lu Feixue's jaw dropped in shock. It took her a while before she could ask with surprise, "Is Lu Li faster than Hu Lang?"
"Definitely!"
Ye Hu said with certainty, "Saint Lord's speed has already surpassed that of warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm before. Hu Lang has reached the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm but speed is not his specialization. Saint Lord should be faster than a warrior of a middle stage of Human Sovereign Realm."
"Really?"
Lu Feixue covered her mouth with her delicate hand. Her surprised look charmed Ming Yu. Being born in a prominent family, Lu Feixue had extraordinary bearing and stunning looks. Over the years, her emotional scar had healed to a large extent. She had regained her youthful delicacy. It was not surprising that she could be tempting to men.
Lu Feixue patted her chest and asked in confusion, "Has Lu Li learned a high rank speed-related Profound Meaning? Otherwise, how can he, at the peak of Eternal Realm, be faster than a warrior of the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm?"
"I don't know…"
Ye Hu was also confused on this front. Lu Li did learn a Profound Meaning but it was not of a high rank. As for how come he was so fast, Lu Li was the only one that could answer the question.
"Whoosh~"
Lu Li came back from the distance and he arrived in a blink. Lu Li was very satisfied by the improvement in his realm and his speed and reaction were enhanced as well.
Lu Li turned to Ming Yu and said, "Ming Yu, I need to go to the Clouds Plains. You stay here and help my aunt."
Ming Yu frowned and said, "Do you need me to go with you to the Clouds Plains?"
Lu Li shook his head and said, "You stay and try to reach the Human Sovereign Realm first. You won't be of too much assistance now. You cannot defeat Human Sovereign Realm warriors and we can deal with Noble Lord Realm warriors."
Ming Yu was convinced so he didn't say more. Lu Li told Lu Feixue, "Before we come back, nobody is allowed to leave the base camp or the Inferno. Wait for us."
"Be careful."
Lu Feixue could not order him to stay because she knew he was capable. She only spoke of concern.
"Ye Hu, let's go!"
Lu Li waved goodbye and left with Ye Hu. He also woke Little White up and had it put away the Ding of Barbarian God. Lu Li bid goodbye to Bai Xiashuang and Zi Lian-er then left the Inferno.
He went to the Snow Mountain of Dragons first and spent half a day there with Bai Qiuxue in the ice room. Lu Li teleported to the passage with Ye Hu and then arrived at the Serenity Plains.
The passage was concealed. Two Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Palace of Sun had been occupying the surrounding areas. But it didn't have the attention from the forces of the Serenity Plains. As far as they could tell, the Palace of Sun were enemies with the Drifting Cloud Hall and an enemy's enemy was a friend.
"How is the Clouds Plains doing?" A Noble Lord Realm warrior of the Palace of Sun was guarding here. Lu Li posed his question.
The Noble Lord Realm warrior's soul was controlled by Lu Ling. He answered with respect, "It's not looking good. Serenity Plains' armies have reached the central region. They have taken half of the territories there and are expanding toward the Drifting Cloud City."
"That grave?"
Ye Hu was worried. However, knowing how resourceful Lu Ling was, Lu Li didn't worry. He only asked, "How many times did our Human Sovereign Realm warriors strike?"
"Once!"
The Noble Lord Realm warrior of the Palace of Sun answered, "When the army was entering the Clouds Plains, Emperor Tu Ni made a move with four Human Sovereign Realm warriors. But two of them were wounded by the nine Human Sovereign Realm warriors from the Serenity Plains. After that, our Human Sovereign Realm warriors made no further moves."
"Okay, I see…"
Lu Li was relieved. He had already had an idea of Lu Ling behind all this plan from the simple explanation. Clearly, she was luring the enemy in deep by showing her weakness to enemies. It was easy for the Serenity Plains to come in, but not go out.
What kind of surprise would his wise and smart sister create this time? Lu Li was quite looking forward to finding out.
