The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 215: Lu Li is Here

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Inside a huge mountain, Hunchback Tian was running desperately while carrying Lu Li. Apart from getting some rest for a couple of hours in some cave, the two had been hurrying on with their journey these days.

Hunchback Tian entered a city once to purchase some objects for their disguise. He dyed Lu Li’s hair brown, and his skin tan. Lu Li somehow created a scar on his right cheek, and covered his left eye with an eye patch. He looked nothing like the old Lu Li now.

Hunchback Tian was cautious. He had been taking different routes in the wild. If there was a mountain, he would go through the mountain, basically anywhere without a person. At the same time, he had been trying to probe around. As soon as he found a scout, he would take another way to avoid them.

The scouts and people in the search efforts were not powerful enough. The best of them were only at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm. Rarely any warriors of the Soul Pond Realm were involved. Hunchback Tian, on the other hand, was at the Fate Wheel Realm and he had reached the peak of the Soul Pond Realm a hundred years ago. How powerful would his sense of perception be? How could regular scouts find him first?

Of course…

The two actually were having some doubts recently. Even if Hunchback Tian spent all the time in probing, it was unlikely that he could completely avoid all the scouts. Lu Li and Hunchback Tian had been preparing to kill any scouts that were able to find them.

However, their journey was an uneventful one. So much that the two were feeling agitated. It seemed… the Yu Family was not involved at all.

Another half a day passed, and it was getting darker. Lu Li finally felt too worried. He said to Hunchback Tian, “How about you go to nearby cities and see what the actual situation is?”

“Okay!”

Hunchback Tian nodded after some thoughts. He took some prepared food and then dashed away. Lu Li hid in a cave to have some rest. He was not actually tired given that he had been carried around by Hunchback Tian. He was just getting uncertain.

Six hours had passed before Hunchback Tian came back. His eyes were filled with exhaustion and surprise. As soon as he came into the cave, he started reporting, “This is weird.”

“What?” Lu Li asked nervously.

Hunchback Tian continued after he taking a deep breath, “More than half of the families of the entire Heaven Martial Kingdom have sent out scouts to look for you. The Yu Family has given orders. I heard that altogether, there are several millions people on it. Also… Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang are here as well. They are flying their way to the Yu Emperor City in a very public way. Also… I was told that the Bai Family has sent out powerful warriors and they have now sneaked into the Heaven Martial Kingdom secretly.”

“Ah?”

Lu Li’s eyes grew cold when he heard the first few sentences. The Yu Family had already gotten news of him entering the Heaven Martial Kingdom? Or the matter was arranged by the Yu Family in the first place?

The thing was…

Now that so many people were trying to find them, then why didn’t they run into many scouts these days? How come they never even encountered any of them head on?

Powerful warriors of the Bai Family had sneaked their way in?

Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were on their way to the Yu Emperor City? Lu Li thought of Bai Qiuxue’s breathtakingly beautiful face and he was touched.

He somehow put all the puzzles together. At least, Bai Qiuxue was trying to help with all her power. This young lady was really outstanding. She was even more honorable and passionate than men.

Lu Li asked some other questions and said after some deliberation, “Hunchback Tian, do you think there is something wrong here?”

Hunchback Tian knew what Lu Li wanted to hear. He answered without thinking, “Yes, very much so! I also was informed that recently, there were some Xuan Beasts in the mountains nearby. Many scouts and warriors searching for you were killed by the Xuan Beasts. Master, did you see many Xuan Beasts along the way?”

“Well…”

Lu Li suddenly realized something. He cried out in alarm, “Can it be that the powerful warrior of the Bai Family is following us secretly? He has been helping us to clear out the scouts along the way?”

Lu Li never saw too many Xuan Beasts along the way. The ones he saw were only of the First and Second Rank, and the number was not large. The living skills of the scouts were very good. How come many scouts were killed by Xuan Beasts?

Something is not right!

Even if it were not the Bai Family warriors helping them, there must some powerful warriors secretly helping them get rid of the scouts. Otherwise, they couldn’t have enjoyed such a peaceful journey.

“Should be a warrior of the Bai Family.”

Hunchback Tian said after some thoughts, “Apart from warriors of the Bai Family, nobody else can have this kind of means. The Cyan Phoenix Race cannot get out right now. Even if they could, why would they hide around? They could just bring you directly to the Yu Family and kill them.”

Lu Li believed what Hunchback Tian said was reasonable. If Ye Cha and the others had come out, they would have come to see him. It was not possible that they wouldn’t show themselves after such a long time.

“Let’s take some rest and then we will press on.”

Lu Li decided to not to waste too much time thinking. Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue were helping him, and the Bai Family might be also supporting him off the record. All these made him feel much more confident. He could not let Bai Qiuxue and the others down. He must arrive at the Wu Ling County soon, take the bones of grandpa and sixth granduncle with him, and see if he could wipe the Bu Family out.

After several hours of rest, they once again embarked on their journey which was also peaceful. There weren’t even too many scouts. Lu Li and Hunchback Tian were relieved. They sped up, striving to arrive at the Wu Ling County as soon as possible.

The Wu Ling County was actually not close to the Thousand-island Lake. Previously, when Lu Li took the chariot to the Thousand-island Lake, it took him half a month of rushing about day and night.

Now with Hunchback Tian carrying him, it was much faster, despite the fact that they had taken some detours. The entire journey would probably take them six or seven days. They should be arriving in two or three days.

…

“Still no Lu Li?”

Another day had passed. Yu Lun was unable to keep his cool. He smashed a tea cup on the ground in anger, shouting to a patriarch of the Hall of Scouts, “You have so many scouts. Are they all just idiots? I can tell you for sure that Lu Li is at the Heaven Martial Kingdom now and so is Hunchback Tian. How can you not find these two living persons with millions of scouts? One of them is only at the Spirit Sea Realm, and the other the Fate Wheel Realm. Do you think they can conceal themselves and become invisible?”

Yu Kun, patriarch of the Hall of Scouts, stood there embarrassedly. All the top level scouts of the Yu Family were in the field now, but still, Lu Li was nowhere to be found. This was such a shame.

Yu Kun suddenly walked over to the map on the wall after some thoughts. Pointing to a route, he said, “Lord Lun, more than dozens of scouts of our family died here. They were killed by Xuan Beasts according to the conditions of their bodies. But one dying this way may be a coincidence. The family has lost more than 40 scouts in the same way over there. More than a hundred warriors and scouts of other families also died there.”

“Oh?”

Cold glares were shooting out of Yu Lun’s eyes. He roared, “You idiot, how can you not report this earlier? Go and send out a message right now. I want the most detailed report about how many died over there and what were their conditions like when it happened, and also the exact spots where they died. Get all of these for me as soon as possible.”

“Yes!”

Yu Kun soon left and spread the words. In six hours, information and intelligence of all sorts had come back via many special methods.

Yu Lun deliberated over the information for the time for one incense stick to burn. He patted hard on the table and said with certainty, “Lu Li is over there and he is going towards the Feng Shan County now. He then will to go the Wu Ling County via the Tian Fu County. Apart from Hunchback Tian, there must be other powerful warriors with him. It should be somebody from the Bai Family trying to cover up his tracks and killing our scouts. ”

So many scouts and warriors dying was utterly unusual. Yu Lun, with his sharp sense, saw right through it.

He shouted to Yu Kun after some consideration, “Go and find him, bring a team yourself. I will send five patriarchs of the Eternal Realm over there to wait for further instructions. You send out a message after you locate Lu Li and they will be there at once.”

“Yes!”

Yu Kun nodded in excitement. He strode out. The Bai Family’s powerful warriors wouldn’t dare to walk around in the Heaven Martial Kingdom in public. As long as Lu Li could be found, he would die in the hands of the five patriarchs of the Eternal Realm.
