The six Earth Immortal Realm warriors were shocked to see the Wicked Bead suddenly took a turn to outside the city. They had been too focused on the bead and never saw what happened on the ground. In addition, the Wicked Bead was fast and Lu Li made no stop. Naturally, the pursuers did not have a clue.
Give how fast the Wicked Bead could be, it was leaving the city in a blink. The six Earth Immortal Realm warriors were not sure what had gone wrong. One of them made up his mind and crushed the jade talisman in his hand. At the same time, he screamed!
“Buzzing~”
As the jade talisman was broken, the Teleportation Formation connection the city to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos glowed. Eight old warriors with intimidating energy appeared in the Teleportation Formation.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
At the same time, in the city several castles lit up. More than a dozen warriors flew up. In the front were Chen Tianxian and Wu Guangde.
“Ambush!”
Lu Li could see the great number of warriors through the Wicked Bead. He was taken aback. The castles in the city were covered by powerful illusions to hide the Semi-God Realm warriors. Besides, some were hiding over the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. If he had teleported to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, then the consequences could be unthinkable.
“Thank heavens Yin Qingsi sent me a warning!”
Cold sweet ran down Lu Li’s forehead. There were more than a score of Semi-God Realm warriors. Once Lu Li stepped out from the Wicked Bead, he would be killed right away. He had been drunk with the yearning to go home. He had been having false beliefs, which could have been detrimental.
“Run~”
Lu Li could not linger any longer. He flew the Wicked Bead into the distance. He began to wander Yin Qingsi’s background. How could she have the courage to warn him? Was she not afraid that the warriors of the Mage Imperial Universe would wipe out her family? Why was she telling him to go the Zen Mountain? Would he be safe there?
“Boom, boom, boom, boom~”
Wu Guangde and Chen Tianxian dashed over with 23 Semi-God Realm warriors. They began to blast at the bead. The two were clearly upset. They were there seeing Lu Li about to enter the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. How come he changed his mind that quickly? What had gone wrong?
But Wu Guangde and Chen Tianxian didn’t feel stressed. Warriors of the Mage Imperial Universe had swarmed out. Altogether, there were 25 Semi-God Realm warriors, which was a formidable force. They could conquer the Central Imperial Universe and then take their time to obtain the Wicked Bead afterwards.
Lu Li felt the trouble grew more serious as the more than a score of Semi-God Realm warriors attacking at the bead simultaneously. The energy was depleting. At this rate, the Wicked Bead would be cracked in three to four months.
“The Zen Mountain?”
Lu Li turned to Leng Wuxin and asked, “Where is the Zen Mountain?”
Leng Wuxin frowned, wandering the reason for him to ask so. Wasn’t he about to enter the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos? Why was he going to the Zen Mountain now?
She took out a map, walked to Lu Li, and said, “Here. It is not far away from the City fo Chaos.”
The Zen Mountain was only several thousand miles away from the City of Chaos, and it was located at the border of the Feng Dynasty and the Qi Dynasty. Lu Li took a look of the map and then steered the Wicked Bead toward the direction of the Zen Mountain.
He asked with a sense of urgency, “What do you know about the Zen Mountain? Have you heard of Yin Qingsi?”
“Yin Qingsi? The Blind!”
Give Leng Wuxin’s status in the Leng Family, she knew much about Yin Qingsi. Naturally, the most favored young lady had access to some secret information. What was more, she and Yin Qingsi once fought against each other. Prior to that fight, Leng Wuxin’s family warned her about something.
She thought about it and asked, “Lu Li, you know Yin Qingsi? If she can ask the Crippled Zen Master to help you, then nobody in the Central Imperial Universe will dare to lay a hand on you. The Crippled Zen Master alone can beat all the powerful warriors of the Central Imperial Universe. Well… Yin Qingsi was adopted by Crippled Zen Master. She is his offspring, of sorts.”
“One man against the entire Central Imperial Universe?”
Lu Li was shocked. He asked in excitement, “Tell me more.”
Leng Wuxin did not know much. She told him things that she learned. She was sure that the Crippled Zen Master was powerful, and he was second to none in the Central Imperial Universe. His name was famous in the other universes as well.
Lu Li had no more hesitation after he heard her out. He flew the Wicked Bead forward. According to her, the Crippled Zen Master was an old man, a man that was on the verge of dying three thousand years ago. He might be still alive, but how long much longer could he have?
He had no children and adopted Yin Qingsi. Therefore, he should not covet the Wicked Bead. Yin Qingsi must be trying to help Lu Li by telling him to go to the Zen Mountain.
Lu Li found himself trusting the Blind for no apparent reason. The connection between the two was special. Plus, with more than a score of Semi-God Realm warriors on his tail, Lu Li had no other choice but to go to the Zen Mountain.
The thousands of miles were nothing to the Wicked Bead. In the time for three incense sticks to burn, Lu Li could already see a rolling and towering mountain range.
The Wicked Bead dashed into the Zen Mountain like a shooting star. As the bead entered the mountain, a storm of haze rose over the entire mountain, blocking it completely from views and psychic powers.
“That is amazing!”
Lu Li was delighted. The Inhibition Formation was strong, no weaker than those built by the Shadowland Race. Needless to say, the Inhibition Formation was built by the Crippled Zen Master himself.
Lu Li had no reservation. He controlled the Wicked Bead to rush into the haze with no regard of direction. He found himself surrounded by the haze at once.
“Huh?”
Wu Guangde and the other pursuers were surprised. Strong as their psychic powers were, they could not be sent into the haze to check. Who had built such an Inhibition Formation? That was incredibly strong.
Chen Tianxian took a look and then read a map. He said with frustration, “This is the Zen Mountain. That old freak Crippled Zen Master lives here.”
“The Crippled Zen Master?”
Wu Guangde and the others had heard of him. The Semi-God Realm warriors looked at each other. All felt downhearted. Anyone would feel the same way when they were about to face against the legendary most powerful warrior of the Central Imperial Universe.
“Hmm!”
A red-head old man snorted and said, “I don’t care about the Crippled Zen or Crippled monk. Anyone that dares to snatch the treasure from us should be sent to hell. Let us split up. Don’t let that punk run away. Blast the Inhibition Formation open. It is not difficult.”
The haze was too thick for them to see into it clearly. If they had gone after Lu Li rashly, they might have been killed by the Crippled Zen Master one by one.
Wu Guangde and Chen Tianxian nodded. The Mage Imperial Universe had exerted all its strength. If they were to flinch and get frustrated by one old warrior, then how could they rebuild the name of the Mage Imperial Universe?
“Whoosh~”
Four Semi-God Realm warriors flew to other sides and wander around the Zen Mountain in case Lu Li would escape. At the same time, the others stood in midair. Wu Guangde thought about it and shouted, “Crippled Zen Master, we are sorry for this. We are only going after Lu Li alone. Turn off the Inhibition Formation, and we will be on our way as soon as we capture him.”
The mountain was quiet. No response came. They stared into the thick haze and waited for the time for more than a dozen breaths. Wrath filled their hearts. The Crippled Zen Master gave no answer. They felt he was silently shaming them.
“Attack. Blast the mountain to the ground!”
The red-haired old man was hot-tempered. He could not wait any longer. He took actions and blasted at the mountain down below.
The others shook the concern off their mind as well. They tried many means to attack at the mountain. A diversity of Profound Meanings and Bloodline Skills were combined together in an effort to break down the Inhibition Formation and level the mountain.
However—
They were shocked to see that when their ferocious attacks came into contact with the haze, nothing happened. As if a fist was landed on the water but failed to… stir up any waves. Their attacks were strong enough to destroy a city and mountain easily in normal circumstances.
Wu Guangde and the others were dumbfounded. Chen Tianxian murmured with doubt, “Is this the legendary Ancient Divine Formation?”
