Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Tuk, tuk, tuk!

In just an hour’s time, more than 30 chariots rushed out of the south gate of the Wu Ling County. Patriarch Seven really was heartless. He just had people of the Liu Family and packed their most important belongings. He only brought the rest 300 people leaving the county on the chariots with him.

Before the war started, the Liu Family sent all the women and children to some secluded strongholds in hiding. Altogether, there were about two or three thousands of them. If all the women and children, the elderly and the invalid were to come along, days must be spent. They could not move fast enough. A target of more than 100 chariots was more obvious. It would be highly possible for them to be caught.

Ghost Snake Granny had killed warriors of the four families right in front of Lord Yu, along with Yu Hen and Zhao Xi. Lord Yu was forced to flee embarrassingly.

One could easily imagine how furious Lord Yu must be at this moment. He would definitely go back to his family as fast as he could to ask the Family Patriarch of the Yu Family and their powerful warriors to hunt Ghost Snake Granny down. However, she was on board an Iron-armored Ship. It would be so fast that she was not easy to catch up with.

Once Lord Yu failed to hunt Ghost Snake Granny, he would have no place to vent his anger on. Lord Yu would move his target to the Liu Family. The Liu Family wouldn’t be able to have even a single soul alive…

Therefore, in order to save the Liu Family, Patriarch Seven had to let the others leave first without attending to the elderly, invalid, women and children. As long as the warriors left, Lord Yu would not make these elderly, women and children his target. It would demise his reputation.

However, they had to leave it up to the Heaven to see whether the rest of the forces of the four Families would seek revenge and massacre those hidden-away women and children.

The more than 30 chariots started off that very night and vanished soon into the mountain trails. All the chariots were dragged by two Silver Wolves. They moved very fast. In just a night’s time, the chariots had covered more than 30 miles.

Before Patriarch Seven left, he had someone to set a fire and pour black oil all over the Liu Family compound. As of this moment, the Liu Family was in a blazing fire. Half the sky was reddened by the raging fire.

Since they ran away in such a hurry, many assets could not be brought along by the Liu Family who had to make it to the Thousand-island Lake. As such, they could not bring too many treasure or Mystical Materials with them. To avoid the leftover forces of the four families taking their family treasure, Patriarch Seven had to set the place on fire.

The entire Wu Ling County was in chaos. The Liu Family had escaped. All the powerful warriors of the four families were killed, so it would be hard to keep the county in order.

Some External Clan warriors of the four Families that somehow managed to survive by luck started to rob treasures of the four families. Some smaller families also got in on this. A wild war inevitably broke out in the county. It looked like the County that already had dead bodies lying around would turn into a county of corpses completely tonight.

…

The morning had gradually come. The chaos in Wu Ling County was about to be over. All the treasure accumulated by the four families over the years was ransacked. The External Clan warriors that took part in the robbing and some small families all ran away.

The fire in the Liu Family Compound was out. The huge Liu Family Compound, the former most luxurious compound in the Wu Ling County, had turned into scorched earth. Dead bodies were scattered all over the county. Even the water in the ditches was bloody red.

Many civilians were killed by mistake. Even though the day had come and the war was over, many civilians were still seized with panic. They dared not to move about in the county. Many more started running away, away from the county of corpses.

In just one night, the prosperous and flourishing Wu Ling County had undergone tremendous changes.

Yet, it was extremely common in the Northern Desert. Every second of every minute, there was a county experiencing this. This was the rule of the Northern Desert.

…

On a mountain trail about 30 miles to the southwest side of the Wu Ling County, the 30 chariots were still rushing on. The night was uneventful for them, but the chariots being several dozens of miles away from the Wu Ling County did not make it safe. The Liu Family could never be safe unless they made it to the Thousand-island Lake.

There were only 30 chariots so more than ten people were stuffed into one chariot. Many of the Liu Family warriors crammed in the carriage, looking so awful as if they had lost their souls.

Many warriors were wounded to various degrees. It was true that the wounds were bound up and that the warriors had taken healing pellets, but the mountain road was bumpy. Sometimes, their wounds would hurt, and the warriors would make some muffled noise out of pain.

Lu Li was on the third chariot. Only he and Liu Yi were in this carriage. The road was so bumpy, but Lu Li was still in his coma since he was so badly wounded.

All the bones in his chest were broken from the shock. His internal organs were injured, and he was very lucky for him to have worn the Earth Grade armor of Zhao Rui’s. Otherwise, he would have long lost his life.

Little White crawled up next to Lu Li, sleeping. Liu Yi did not know what kind of beast it was. She just assumed that it was a pet Lu Li was raising. Since it was following Lu Li around, she just brought it along with her.

Liu Yi was sitting on the other side. Her hair was messy, and her face had some dirt on it. The temperament and charm of a Lady of the Liu Family were long gone.

She sat on the chariot while leaning against the window. No trace of spirit could be found in her eyes. She kept swinging with the chariot, and she looked as good as dead.

Patriarch Seven could not afford to be careless. Several Patriarchs of the Spirit Sea Realm kept checking about 15 miles in front of and behind the chariots. Even if there were pursuing forces or interceptions, they could give out some warning.

Patriarch Seven and the others were worrying too much. Last night was fine. They went on for another two days and nothing happened. No pursuing forces were found.

The Yu Family was far away from the Wu Ling County, and Lord Yu needed some time to be back. When he went back, the Yu Family would first and foremost send out powerful warriors to hunt Ghost Snake Granny down. Why would they care about such a small family like the Liu Family in a short time?

On the third day, the Liu Family had covered nearly 1000 miles. They pressed forward day and night alike without halting to rest. The speed of the Silver Wolves was so fast.

Around dusk, Lu Li woke up!

Liu Yi gave him some high-level healing pellets. The animal tooth pendant hidden inside the Xuan Artifact armor kept glowing feebly, but it helped to increase the efficacy to the maximum.

In the past three days, Lu Li’s state of injury was improved. His shattered internal organs healed quickly, and his broken bones started healing as well.

Lu Li opened his eyes. While staring at the roof of the carriage, he seemed confused for a bit, then he seemed to have regained his vitality. He looked to the sides and saw Liu Yi sitting there and sleeping. Little White was sleeping soundly next to him as well.

Lu Li said nothing. He closed his eyes and tried to clear his mind, recalling what happened that night. A trace of pain and worry appeared on his face.

“Sister~”

He murmured. He felt as if a knife were being twisted in his heart recalling what Lu Ling looked like when she was burnt. Now that he remembered Lu Ling was taken away and he wasn’t even certain whether she was alive or not, or when would they meet again, his pain became even more excruciating. It broke his heart.

“Poof…”

There was extravasated blood in his body. While he was thinking, his anger made him so anxious that he spit out some blood which alarmed Liu Yi.

Seeing Lu Li’s face covered in blood, and his chest moving up and down violently, Liu Yi said in a hurry, “Lu Li, how are you feeling?”

“Squeak, squeak~”

Little White woke up with a start and looked at Lu Li with concern. It stuck out its small tongue and licked Lu Li’s palm.

Lu Li exhaled and calmed down a little. He opened his eyes and asked, “Who took my sister away? Where did they take her?”

Liu Yi was relieved seeing Lu Li slowly regained his composure. She explained, “That was the Ghost Snake Granny from the Palace of Goddess of the Cyan Plains. They should be back to the Cyan Palace now. Lu Li, don’t you worry about it. The Palace of Goddess is powerful. You sister will be okay.”

“Where is Cyan Plains?” Lu Li asked after some thoughts, “How long will it take to get to Cyan Plains from here?”

“You… cannot go there!”

Liu Yi shook her head and sighed. “At least not in a short time. The Cyan Plains is located to the southeast side of the Northern Desert. There is a Devil Ghost Sea in between. You cannot get to the Cyan Plains unless you reach the Eternal Realm and take the Teleportation Formation or the Iron-armored Ship.”

“Eternal Realm?”

Lu Li once again closed his eyes. He pondered about it for a bit, opened his eyes, and murmured while looking through the window, “Sis, I will cultivate to the Eternal Realm as fast as I can. I will get you back. You must take care of yourself and wait for me. Please wait for me…”
