Lu Li would find himself in the mire if the Mage Imperial Universe’s Semi-God Realm warriors had still been here. But the situation was different when he was faced with Semi-God Realm warriors of the Central Imperial Universe.
This was the territory that was under the Central Imperial Universe. The families’ disciples were all here. Lu Li had means to make the families cave and concede unless they could relocate their entire families into their ancestral land.
The Wicked Bead’s speed was comparable to a Semi-God Realm warrior at the moment and could be faster. Not many could catch up with the Wicked Bead.
What was more, Lu Li noticed that during the few years he had been living in the Zen Valley, the Wicked Bead’s energy was growing quickly.
In other words, the Wicked Bead could absorb energy from heaven and earth automatically. Previously, merely about one third of energy was left. Now, over half of the energy was replenished. The Wicked Bead could hold on for over six months even if it was chased and attacked by a bunch of Semi-God Realm warriors.
Therefore, Lu Li had made up his mind to leave. The Crippled Zen Master would not do him a favor. He could not put Yin Qingsi in a pickle anymore because he was not comfortable with being indebted to her.
“Qingsi, I need to go out now. Later when I leave, I will come and bid you farewell.”
Lu Li added after some thought, “Actually, my family is not in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, but in the Inferno, the lowest level. A small universe is connected to the Inferno. I am going home now!”
“What?”
Yin Qingsi was shocked. Her cherry lips parted in surprise as she asked, “You have fought your way to the Prison of Gold all the way from the Inferno?”
“I have not!”
Forcing a smile, Lu Li replied, “Actually, Leng Wuxin had captured me and taken me up here. My family is waiting for my return. That is why… I am in such a hurry.”
“Sure, I understand!”
Yin Qingsi nodded. “Off you go now. But don’t strain yourself. Go to the Tsing Yi Cabinet and contact me if needed.”
Lu Li gazed into her but didn’t say words of thanks again. He flew the Wicked Bead away in a dash.
“Inferno?”
Turning her head toward the direction the Wicked Bead went, Yin Qingsi couldn’t help but exclaim, “The universe connected to the Inferno must be a small one. Such talent from such a small universe. He is a miracle. But… too bad…”
…
After Lu Li flew out from the Zen Mountain, he shifted toward the Feng Dynasty immediately. He didn’t speed up to the maximum but maintained the speed at the Earth Immortal Realm and headed toward the City of Feng.
The reappearance of the Wicked Bead caught the attention from scouts soon. When they sent the news to the City of Feng, it stirred up an outcry among the public.
They had thought that the Crippled Zen Master had already obtained the Wicked Bead. How could it reappear now? Was Crippled Zen Master riding it to the City of Feng?
But the Crippled Zen Master never left the Zen Valley. Besides, the Feng Family and the Qi Family progenitors were going to the Zen Valley soon. Why did he have to make an unnecessary move and come to the City of Feng?
After rounds of discussion, they reached a conclusion. The Wicked Bead was still controlled by Lu Li!
The conclusion cheered up the Central Imperial Universe warriors who had given up their hopes. The Crippled Zen Master didn’t care about Lu Li. Did it mean that there was still a possibility for them to get the Wicked Bead?
What was more, it was Yin Qingsi that asked for help. The thought of that excited the two families even more. It was her that was doing Lu Li a favor, not the Crippled Zen Master!
Semi-God Realm warriors of the Mage Imperial Universe stayed at the Zen Mountain for three years, but the Crippled Zen Master didn’t take actions. Central Imperial Universe hadn’t heard that the Infinity had passed away.
Based on their knowledge, Feng Family and Qi Family developed another wild assumption. Had the Crippled Zen Master died already? Otherwise, with his temper, the Crippled Zen Master should have declared war against the Semi-God Realm warriors of the Mage Imperial Universe.
Greed could always blind people. A mind full of greed could easily lead many to an abyss. The Wicked Bead was coming toward the City of Feng. The fact excited many.
Feng Family and Qi Family progenitors spent merely half a day to discuss before they made up their minds. They decided to send someone to intercept the Wicked Bead and see if it was Lu Li or the Crippled Zen Master in the bead.
Semi-God Realm warriors of the two families and the other families of the Central Imperial Universe. The two families didn’t mobilize any one of their warriors. Rather, they sent three Earth Immortal Realm warriors of another family to intercept the bead.
The three people teleported away and stopped the Wicked Bead in a city to the northwest of the Feng Dynasty. They whooshed up to the sky and surrounded the Wicked Bead.
One of them said, “This is the Feng Dynasty. Leave now or we will regard this as an invasion.”
Lu Li stopped the Wicked Bead. He could make out some of the hidden meaning in the man’s words. The three of them were clearly here to pry and find out who had control over the Wicked Bead.
It was not Lu Li’s aspiration to bully people by flaunting the Crippled Zen Master’s prestige. “I have invaded the Feng Dynasty many times. You can come and strike me… if you have the guts,” shouted Lu Li.
“Lu Li!”
The three people demonstrated killing intent as soon as they recognized Lu Li’s voice. They immediately resorted to many means to attack the Wicked Bead.
“Hmm!”
Lu Li sped up the Wicked Bead to the maximum and flew pass the three through them. In a blink, he had vanished into the horizon.
“Eh…”
The three looked at each other. They gathered around and stared into the distance. When did the Wicked Bead become so fast? Not even Semi-God Realm warriors could catch up with it now.
“Whoosh~”
Before they could come back to their senses, the Wicked Bead flew back in a blur. The bead dashed to them directly. When the three finally were startled and ready to run, several wind dragons came out from the bead all of a sudden.
The Feather Wind was released. The three held their heads and howled in misery. Then, they fell down. The Wicked Bead glowed as nine Earth Immortal Realm warriors were sent out. They began to strike the three people.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
Nine Earth Immortal Realm warriors mauled the three badly, but the former had reserved some strength or else the three would have been killed right away.
“Whoosh~”
Three figures flew down and captured the three injured Earth Immortal Realm enemies. The former took the later up and all were taken into the bead by Lu Li.
“Well done!”
After all were sent in, Lu Li circled the three mauled Earth Immortal Realm warriors with Feather Wind in case they launched counteroffensive before they died or commit suicide.
Soul Snatching!
Lu Li released several soul seeds and started the process. He had many soul slaves previously, but Jun Mengchen and many others had died. It was fine for him to take in a few more soul slaves now based on the strength of his soul.
The three Earth Immortal Realm enemies all passed out under the influence of Feather Wind. It was not difficult to perform soul snatching. In an hour, the three were brought into control.
“Good!”
As of this moment, Lu Li had 12 Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves, and he also controlled Leng Wuxin.
He flew the Wicked Bead onward. He believed that if he could capture some Semi-God Realm warriors as soul slaves, it would be for the best.
Of course, this was just wishful thinking. Semi-God Realm warriors were formidable. Lu Li would not dare to do anything to them even when they were in a coma. Any random attack from them could kill him.
Three Semi-God Realm warriors disappeared but were still alive. The Wicked Bead was still on his way toward the City of Feng. The event confused the powerful warriors gathered in the city. Was it really the Crippled Zen Master in the Wicked Bead? How could Lu Li have captured three Earth Immortal Realm warriors so easily?
“Guan Yan, take some Earth Immortal Realm warriors with you and have a look.”
Feng Family progenitor contemplated the situation and ordered a Family Patriarch related to the Feng Family. The man named Guan Yan was at the Semi-God Realm. He should be able to find out what had happened.
Guan Yan was reluctant. If it really were the Crippled Zen Master in the Wicked Bead, then there was little chance of him returning. That being said, could Guan Yan have disobeyed Feng Family progenitor?
The answer was no!
