They looked into each other’s eyes and could not turn away anymore.
Bai Qiuxue had taken a very bold step on her part to express her feelings. Actually, when Lu Li went to the Heaven Martial Kingdom to seek revenge and she risked her life to save his life, she already realized she have developed feelings for him.
When Lu Li saved her at the Deserted World, bringing all the powerful warriors of the Northern Desert for her, she fell in love with him completely.
What more could she ask for when she met a man so worthy of her love?
Bai Qiuxue had figured out her feelings after staying at the Ling Empress City for two months. That was why she could be courageous in stating openly about how she felt.
Lu Li smiled. He felt fulfilled and inspired. He was not alone anymore. There were so many people with him. No matter how difficult the situation was, he had to power through and he had to prevent the world from falling apart for Bai Qiuxue and the others.
They couldn’t help but hug each other. Lu Li didn’t do anything impulsive this time. He hugged her and patted gently. They listened to each other’s heartbeats, feeling their ardent affection.
“Sister, sister~”
From outside came an unwanted voice. Lu Li’s expressions changed at once upon hearing this. He jumped up and rushed to a side chamber, leaving behind the following words, “I will try to reach the middle stage of the Fate Wheel Realm, and we will talk about everything else after I come out of cultivation.”
Looking at Lu Li run as quickly as his feet could move, Bai Qiuxue burst into laughter. Bai Xiashuang had become the bane of Lu Li.
Bai Xiashuang rushed in a haste. She looked around and said angrily, “I heard that Lu Li has come back. Where is he? Lu Li, come out of here. I will kill you, kill you!”
Lu Li had left the chamber and had entered his secret room, ready to cultivate, when he heard the voice. But he still shuddered.
He didn’t believe Bai Xiashuang would really kill him. He was afraid that she would let the cat out of the bag. Lu Li would feel so ashamed if others knew what had happened.
“Cultivate, cultivate. I will not go out until I reach the middle stage of the Fate Wheel Realm!”
Lu Li made up his mind. He had made all the plans he could and the rest would be up to fate.
If he was lucky, the Pavilion of Delicacy could find Song Family Patriarch and kill him. Then the whole thing could be put behind him. If not, the Song Family Patriarch would come to the Northern Desert. But the scouts Lu Li had sent out could notice the four.
More importantly—
What could buy him more time was the sea between the Northern Desert and the Central Plains, a vast sea. It would take Iron-armored Ships at least two or three months to go across the sea, unless the Song Family Patriarch flew over on his own at the top of his speed.
What was more, there were many powerful Xuan Beasts and even Beast Kings at sea. Maybe the four could be killed by those Xuan Beasts…
Therefore, Lu Li still had time. Theoretically speaking, he could reach the middle stage of the Fate Wheel Realm in more than half a month, at most. By then, the Clan Leader of the Mammoth Race would have gone to the small world of Green Dwarfs and Lu Li could start his conquest of the Deserted World.
Doing his best and leaving the rest to fate!
Lu Li closed the door and took out some pellets and Soul Crystals to consume. He had a stable and focused mind. Soon, he drove all the messy thoughts from his head and concentrated on cultivation.
…
Patriarch of the Intelligent Department at the Pavilion of Delicacy sent many people out to look for the Song Family Patriarch under the order of Jiang Qiling.
The patriarch enjoyed seniority and he was at the Human Sovereign Realm. He was a man with a lofty virtue worthy of respect. But…there was nothing he could do about Jiang Qiling.
This lady was a bit mental. When she was in a good mood, she behaved very well but when she was not, she could do all kinds of crazy things. She once set the yard of the Hall of Patriarchs on fire. If the patriarch disobeyed her, she might set fire to his house as well.
If she were merely an average disciple, nobody would indulge her like this. It just so happened that she was very talented and was the only daughter of Jiang Wuwo. Who dared to provoke her? As long as her demands were not over the line too much, they would be always be met.
Many scouts of the Pavilion of Delicacy set off to work. At the same time, many other families, like the Du Family of the Palace of Peaceful Heaven, also received her order. Jiang Hong went in person to send the message.
A little devil like her was not someone the families dared to offend when the patriarchs of the Jiang Family were even afraid to do so. Otherwise, Jiang Qiling could be burning anyone’s houses at any time…
For a moment, many people set off to search for Song Qi, the Song Family Patriarch and the other three from the Song Family in all kinds of places. There were more than a million scouts out there, at least.
It was not difficult for so many scouts to find the four with one of them in the Human Sovereign Realm. In just eight days, the result came. Song Qi and the other three…were found.
However!
When the scouts found them, Song Qi also realized the existence of the scouts. Several scouts were captured. After some interrogation, Song Qi learned that the Pavilion of Delicacy was trying to find him.
Song Qi and the other three fled right away. Upon learning the news, Jiang Qiling asked two patriarchs to go out to hunt him down. Nearby the Lv City, Song Qi was found. But the three Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Song Family risked their lives for Song Qi to flee. In the end, Song Qi ran into a dangerous place at the northern Central Plains…
It was a place that even Human Sovereign Realm warriors were afraid to go in. Patriarchs of the Jiang Family naturally would not sacrifice their lives for Lu Li. They left behind some scouts to stay on guard outside the place and left.
Jiang Qiling knew that this was the best outcome. She asked Jiang Hong to send a word to Lu Li while she was busy curing her injuries and preparing for cultivation.
Noble Lord Realm came right after the Eternal Realm but the differences between the two were huge.
Xuan Wu Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, and the Soul Pond Realm were laying the foundation. Fate Wheel Realm was where warriors started to change their fate and they could continue to do so in the Eternal Realm. But the Noble Lord Realm meant warriors had begun to go beyond what nature had given them.
The first three Realms represented childhood years. The Fate Wheel Realm and Eternal Realm could be compared to a person’s teenage years while the Noble Lord Realm was the stage of youth. If a warrior could reach the Human Sovereign Realm, he could be stepping into the prime of his or her life.
Whether a warrior could make it to the Noble Lord Realm was critical. Once Jiang Qiling accomplished this, the Jiang Family would spare no effort at training her. The days of her reaching the Human Sovereign Realm and the Human Sovereign Realm could be around the corner if she could reach the Noble Lord Realm at such a young age.
Jiang Qiling understood this so she cultivated very diligently. She even pushed down her desire to go to Northern Desert to see Lu Li. She would do so after she reached the Noble Lord Realm and she believed Lu Li was quite busy as well…
Lu Li was a bit disappointed to learn the news about Song Qi but he was relived as well. Song Qi might not get out after he went into that dangerous place. Even if he did, he could be found with so many scouts keeping an eye on him outside. At least, Lu Li knew Song Qi’s whereabouts now and the Northern Desert was safe for now.
After 20 days!
Three huge people flew out from the volcano at the Earth Dragon Island. Ye Cha was outside of the volcano waiting for them. When he saw the first golden giant, he smiled and said, “Finally. Congrats, Meng Zhi.”
The wide open eyes of the three golden giants were filled with excitement. The one at the front stretched out his body and his bones crackled. He grinned and said, “It’s been 5000 years. The Mammoth Race is finally free. I think the world…may have forgotten about us.”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Ye Cha laughed and comforted him, “Meng Zhi, as long as we serve our Saint Lord with our heart and soul, we will be back at the Central Plains sooner or later and regain our ancestral land. We will make the entire land trembled at our feet.”
“Yes!”
Meng Zhi nodded. He raised his head up and roared. Then with a spooky grin, he said, “Kill our way back to the Central Plains so we can regain our ancestral land and restore our glory. For this, the Mammoth Race is willing to give it all and not even death is to be regretted.”
“Alright, quit shouting!”
Ye Cha pointed to the lake and said, “Go ahead and dive in. We will cover for you. We will go to the area of demons and then to the Deserted World. If we want to go back to the Central Plains, we must take the Deserted World down first.”
