The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 179: Conflict

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

In eight hours, Lu Li had built more than 10 cabins. For Zi Lian, he just built a small one and a big one for several Young Ladies to live together. He didn’t really have the time to build so many cabins.

During the time that came next, the two teams started looking for exits. They almost turned the valley upside down which still yielded no result.

Even Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue set off to find exits in person. However, apart from the two gates leading back to the maze, none of the remaining gates could be opened. There was no secret gears of any kind, just no exit at all.

The Young Masters and Ladies were getting worried and restless. Luckily, there was still enough food. The teams from the Thousand-island Lake and the Heaven Martial Kingdom didn’t engage in any disputes. They lived on in peace.

Every day, Lu Li would grill twice and send some over to Zi Lian. Yu Lingxu hated Lu Li to the guts. They also had killed some deer and wanted to roast, but in the end, just like what the Young Masters of the Thousand-island Lake did, the deer were burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. They could not eat that.

Lu Li also caught some fishes to roast. The Young Masters and Ladies of the Thousand-island Lake felt indebted to Lu Li eating the food he cooked. Some people were still holding a grudge towards Lu Li, but they were nice to him on the surface.

There was no exit to be found, and people started feeling down. There was no entertainment of any form, so the moment of eating the meat and tasting the delicious food had become their only spiritual sustenance.

Of course, two Young Masters of two Fourth Rank Families started wooing Bai Xiashuang like crazy which they regarded as their spiritual sustenance. Some other Young Masters of other families had their eyes on some Ladies here, as a means to divert themselves from boredom.

Nobody made a move on Bai Qiuxue. Maybe it was because this girl was too smart, or maybe it was the chillness that drove people away born inside her that kept the Young Masters away.

Of the twins, Bai Xiashuang was clearly the more popular one. This girl was not sophisticated. In other words… she was gullible.

The Young Masters here knew very well that they didn’t deserve the twins. The twins had Seventh-rank Bloodlines. This one thing would shame a lot of men. Therefore, nobody even thought about pursuing Bai Qiuxue. What was to be pursued if no Young Master could compete with her?

Lu Li did not mind this. Before he could save Lu Ling and his parents, he dared not to have any affectionate feelings towards anyone. For one thing, he might become a burden to others, for another, his time was pressing. He had to cultivate with his entire heart and soul. Where would he find the time to pick up girls?

During this time, Lu Li had been cultivating apart from the time in grilling. He tried once but found no exit in the valley. As such, he left the conundrum to Bai Qiuxue and others to solve. With so many people here, they would find the exit sooner or later.

…

“Lu Li?”

Inevitably, Yu Lingxu got the news about the true identity of Lu Li. That day, Zi Lian brought several Young Ladies over to express their gratitude. These Young Ladies were living in the cabins built by Lu Li. He would send over venison these couple of days. How could Yu Lingxu not notice him?

Yu Lingxu didn’t know Lu Li well. He just knew that the fight at the Wu Ling County completely humiliated the Yu family. Back then, the Yu family were in a wreck. His grandpa even took the matter over to his hands in person. Hence, Yu Lingxu faintly remembered the names of Lu Li, Lu Ling and the Liu family.

Yu Lingxu became suspicious. He devised some means. Taking the advantage when they were finding exits, he chatted with some Young Ladies of the Thousand-island Lake. He managed to get some information out of them easily. He now knew that Lu Li had run to the Thousand-island Lake from the Heaven Martial Kingdom. The family he relied on was the Liu family.

“He really is the brother of that bi*ch!”

Yu Lingxu gnashed his teeth in anger and growled. However, he didn’t resort to rash actions. The families had made it clear that no killing was allowed inside. That Bai Leng of the Thousand-island Lake was waiting outside. If any evidence was found of his misbehavior, he would definitely die based on Bai Leng’s personality.

No open attacks!

Yu Lingxu threw a cold glance over to Lu Li who was grilling on the other side of the pond. Then he turned around and went back to his mission of finding exits.

Two days passed.

A gate suddenly opened, and a team wildly rushed out. Many were screaming in ecstasy when they got out. At the very front was Du Ziling with amorous eyes. The team of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom finally made it out of the maze.

“Ye Yuhan’s team is still inside?”

Zi Lian frowned in worry. She talked with Zi Lian at the Ice Abyss which was pleasant. Now, Du Ziling was out, but Ye Yuhan hadn’t made it out yet. This upset Zi Lian. She became even more worried on the thought of the fact that they had been trying for so many days but the exit was nowhere to be found.

Two hours later, another gate was open. Another team ran out. Zi Lian ran over there at once. She was both happy and concerned to see Ye Yuhan whose clothes were torn and who had lost so much weight. Ye Yuhan hugged Zi Lian and burst into a rage of tears. Then Ye Yuhan passed out.

Du Ziling’s team was three men short. Ye Yuhan’s team lost eight. The people that did come out seemed to be deranged. They all lost weight.

Bai Qiuxue sighed. The once good situation was gone. Her team was the first to be here, so they enjoyed great advantages. It was a pity that they didn’t find any exit. Otherwise, all the treasure of the Tomb of the Dragon King would be theirs to take.

Of course, the most crucial thing was that with the four teams here, the food was running short. Maybe they would fight each other because of the food. Du Ziling and Ye Yuhan’s teams were trapped in there for so many days, so they were holding some anger inside. Fights could break out at any time.

Bai Qiuxue called everyone over and told them to remain low-key. Nobody could offend other teams or incur fights.

Bai Qiuxue’s worry soon became a reality. After 10 or 12 hours, Du Ziling’s team woke up. Then they began to hunt the animals in the valley like crazy. After they killed the animals, they carried them back for Du Ziling to put into his Interspatial Ring.

This actions provoked the Young Masters of the Thousand-island Lake. The roasted meat twice a day was the only thing enjoyable for the Young Master and Young Ladies of the Thousand-island Lake. If all the animals were killed, what the hell would they eat?

Bai Gu then at once brought someone over to negotiate. Du Ziling’s men carried on hunting regardless. They totally ignored the Young Masters of the Thousand-island Lake and regarded their words as nonsense.

Conflict broke out. Du Ziling didn’t do anything, but two warriors at the middle stage of the Soul Pond Realm of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom made their moves. They injured Bai Gu, Ding Yang and three other men. Eventually, the arrival of Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang stopped the conflict.

Du Ziling made a personal appearance. He said some superficial polite words. He casually apologized and scolded the warriors of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom before leaving with his men.

Bai Qiuxue calmed her warriors down. Bai Gu and the other four were just injured. Bai Qiuxue didn’t want to make a big fuss since nobody died.

Lu Li was alarmed during cultivation. He went outside and asked about the process. He regretted for not letting people store some food earlier. Now, nearly all the animals were killed. Food was not enough.

“Fishing!” Lu Li soon made up his mind and said, “Send someone to catch fish. We need to store some food first.”

Bai Qiuxue was hesitating. If she sent someone to catch fish, it might led to the fight over food between the four teams. It would be so troublesome if a big messy fight broke out.

“Fishing?” Lu Li suddenly thought of something. He asked, “Have you sent someone to check the place underwater?”

Bai Qiuxue stood still for a moment. Then she understood it all and shouted, “Ding Heng, now, bring someone with you and go into the pond and explore. The exit maybe at the bottom of the pond.”

“No hurry!”

Lu Li waved his hand and said, “We need to prepare in secret. Young Master Ding, go and pretend that you are taking a bath. If you find something, send us a signal. If the exit is down there, we will go there at once and seize the opportunity.”
