“Courting death!”

The halberd was shining in Ling Feidu’s hands. His face was twisted as he was about to smash Lu Li with the halberd.

“Ling Feidu, don’t!”

“Young Master Ling, stop it!”

Almost simultaneously, Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess shouted out. She threw out her twig as well. If Ling Feidu were to continue, she would stop him.

Ling Feidu was surprised. He turned back to Holy Princess and Lou Shi’er, asking, “What? Did you lose your minds because of him? We will be stuck here until we die if he destroys the portal!”

“You are wrong!”

Holy Princess shook her head. “He is not lying. I can tell, to some extent that... the Gate of Life is closed. We cannot get out. We will be stuck here for a thousand years if he cannot find a way.”

“Gate of Life?”

Ling Feidu raised his eyebrows. “Is this coming from the special connection you have with the environment due to your Fundamental Principle of Life?” He asked, doubting.

Holy Princess nodded. Ling Feidu curled his lips and checked with Lou Shi’er, “Brother Lou, do you trust him as well?”Holy Princess nodded. Ling Feidu curled his lips and checked with Lou Shi’er, “Brother Lou, do you trust him as well?”

“The fact that he can take us this far safely is proof of his abilities!”

Lou Shi’er shrugged. “Brother Ling, be patient. This little buddy here is full of secrets. Nobody wants to die. He must have his reasons. Let us just wait.”

Ling Feidu’s expressions changed many times but in the end, he said nothing and only glared at Lu Li.

Lu Li replied with silence. He struck the shield outside the portal with his saber, again and again, determined not to stop until he had cracked the portal.

“Master!”

After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li suddenly heard a voice of pleasant surprise in his mind. It was Blood Fairy. “The Inhibition Formations on the slabs in front of you is changed. It’s safe to go.”

“Ha, ha!”

Lu Li put away his saber and put on the smile of a winner. He was right.

“Gate of Life is open!”

At the same time, Holy Princess said all of a sudden. Her crystal-clear eyes were filled with astonishment. The glow in her eyes added such brilliance to her beauty.

“It’s open?”

Lou Shi’er stroke his curly hair and was filled with curiosity and confusion. He could not see how it happened. As for Ling Feidu, he had absolutely no idea but felt unwilling to ask. He just pulled a long face.

“Whoosh!”

Lu Li put away his saber and stepped forward. Amid the looks of others, he stepped to the slab, went past the shield and vanished into the portal.

“What?”

Many people were shocked. Wasn’t there a multi-colored shield outside the portal? Why could Lu Li go through?

Besides, there was powerful Inhibition Formation on the slab. Ling Feiya was killed right there. Why didn’t anything happen to Lu Li when he stepped on it?

“Interesting.”

Lou Shi’er was even more puzzled. Grinning, he said, “Okay, people, the Path of Life and Death is solved.”

“Phew, phew...”

Lin Yu and the other guy breathed in relief. Neither of them understood how Lu Li solved the Inhibition Formations, but it was a fact that Lu Li had entered the portal. They could stay alive.

“Impressive!”

Holy Princess exclaimed. She could not find out how Lu Li did it, either. That being said, there was one thing she was sure of—if it were not for Lu Li, none of them could leave here. They would be trapped for a thousand years.

A thousand years?

For them, they were in the prime of their life. For her, those were the best years in her life. If she were stuck here for a thousand years, when she went out, she would already be old. During this time, many disciples from the Palace of Snow Mountain might have gone crazy or died.

“Let’s go!”

Holy Princess waved her hand and took the lead. The Fundamental Principle of Life she learned equipped her with a special ability to distinguish if there were ways out in nature. At the moment, she was certain that the Gate of Life of this Path of Life and Death was open. The problem was solved.

“Time to go!”

Lou Shi’er waved his hand and gathered those from the Pavilion of Misty Drizzle. Holy Princess was the first to follow behind Lu Li. She dashed into the portal and vanished.

“Let’s go. Hurry. Quickly!”

The others were excited as they went into the portal one by one.

Amid glaring flashes, they re-emerged in a spacious hall. At the end was a gate that was giving out a faint glow.

There was nothing in the hall and no danger, either. This must be a hub for the explorers to rest.

Lu Li was the first to enter the hall. He was sitting in a corner at the moment. He did not rush into the next level. Instead, he chose to sit here by himself. It seemed like he was resting.

Lu Li did not try to catch much attention. However, as everyone else came in, they all turned to him. When Holy Princess and Lou Shi’er came in, they looked at each other and stepped toward Lu Li together.

Lu Li had his eyes closed, but he could tell that people were coming. He forced a smile inside. He tried to keep a low profile but by the looks of it, it was not possible.

He opened his eyes and stood up. Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess had come. Surprisingly, she bowed to Lu Li and said, “I am Xue Jingya. Thank you.”

Lou Shi’er clasped his hands and said with sincerity. “Buddy, I owe you. And... what is your name? Where are you from?”

Holy Princess had helped Lu Li and others many times to recover. Though she could be detached, she was a kind person. Lu Li had a good feeling about her. “Holy Princess, you’re welcome. Without your Fundamental Principle of Life, I would have died already. I should be the one thanking you.” Lu Li said with a smile.

Then, he turned to Lou Shi’er. “Young Master Shi’er, you flatter me. I don’t dare say you owe me anything. That is too much. Well... I am Lu Lin, from a small town. It’s not worth mentioning.”

Again, Lu Li chose to use an alias. After all, with so many people here, there could be enemies among them. He chose a name that was similar to Lu Ling’s in pronunciation.

“Brother Lu, being too humble is also arrogant.”

Lou Shi’er stroke his curly hair. He stepped closer to Lu Li and asked in a low voice, “Brother Lu, I am curious. How did you solve the Path of Life and Death?”

Holy Princess said nothing but the expression on her face and the level of attention indicated that she was interested as well.

Lu Li said one thing after some thoughts, “There is nothing much to say. I just find some answers to the rules of the Tomb of King Luna...”

“Rules?”

Lou Shi’er blinked, still a bit puzzled. Holy Princess frowned as she was in deep thought. A moment later, her eyes sparkled. She looked at Lu Li and said, “Young Master Lu, you are wise. I admire you for that.”

“Impressive!”

Lou Shi’er seemed to have figured it out as well. He patted Lu Li’s shoulder and said, “How about you come with us? I will protect you against the dangers ahead. You don’t have to worry as long as I am still alive. What do you say?”

“Thank you, Young Master Shi’er!”

To Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess’s surprise, Lu Li rejected the offer. “Go ahead. I have achieved an epiphany and want to cultivate here for a while.”

“Sure~”

Lou Shi’er did not talk Lu Li out of it seeing how determined he was. “In the future, if we meet again, I will buy you a drink. If you want to join the Pavilion of Misty Drizzle, come and find me. I will do my best to help you.” Lou Shi’er said with a smile.

“Young Master Lu, see you later.”

Holy Princess nodded to Lu Li and turned around. She joined the team from the Palace of Snow Mountain and led her team toward the entrance to the next level.
