Chapter 1288: Exposed

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The battle outside had gradually come to an end. Many patriarchs from the Chamber of Relics had come here. One must be skilled in battles, not only in forging artifacts, to become a patriarch.

Lu Li was right. There were similarities between Inhibition Formations and Fundamental Principles. Both were to convert natural laws and forces into powerful skills. Therefore, the powerful craftsmen usually were capable fighters as well. That was what made the Chamber of Relics special in southern Divinity. Chamber of Relics would have become extinct if they only had craftsmen without combat abilities.

Almost all the patriarchs that came here were mighty warriors. There were disciples from Hall of Warfare here as well. Hence, while the number of Pupil-less Monkeys was great, half had been eliminated. The other half had fled underground. To find them would be difficult for the moment.

Even so, the patriarchs and warriors were still flying around to look for Pupil-less Monkeys since some disciples of the Hall of Warfare had lost their lives and Lady Dan and many others were wounded. Patriarchs of the Chamber of Relics were furious.

Patriarch Gu did not join them in the pursuit. Instead, he patrolled around in the nearby area. For him, nothing was more important than Brown Blood Crystals. As long as the crystals were fine, he did not care that some disciples of the Hall of Warfare had been sacrificed.

“Collect all the grown Brown Blood Crystals!”

Patriarch Gu waved his hand and told the disciples of the Hall of Warfare here to go into the depth of the mountain and collect those Brown Blood Crystals. They could be used to make many Lightning Triggers. If the Brown Blood Crystals were ruined, that would be a huge loss.

The other patriarchs returned after some time. The Pupil-less Monkeys had a large population. Even all that came here were wiped out, there would be more in their home.

Many patriarchs were shouting and screaming that they would leverage all possible means to find the habitat of Pupil-less Monkeys and wipe out the entire race, which was the only way to stabilize their anger and salvage the reputation of the Chamber of Relics.

However, nobody had the intention to go after the employer. Over the course of history, none that hired the Pupil-less Monkeys was exposed. Pupil-less Monkeys had a good reputation. The captured Pupil-less Monkeys would commit suicide at once and the investigators would not even have the chance to search their souls…

None of this was Patriarch Gu’s concern. He just instructed people to collect Brown Blood Crystals. After half a day, all the grown Brown Blood Crystals had been harvested. Finally, he got onto the Beast of the Void and took Lu Li and Lady Dan and the others back to the Valley of Relics. Many patriarchs had come back with them as well because they had to report to the Chief and major patriarchs for them to make a decision.

When Patriarch Gu came back, he let out Lady Dan, Long Yunhai, and all the others before he brought Lu Li and Qian Huanhan back to his place. He headed into the room of materials after putting Lu Li and Qian Huanhan down.

The patriarchs reported the incident and the fact that Lady Dan and others were assaulted. Chief of the Chamber of Relics flew into a rage. He left by Teleportation Formation alone. It was said that he was headed toward the Craftsmen’s Sect to report this appalling matter and ask the Craftsmen’s Sect to search for the habitat of the Pupil-less Monkeys or their employer.

In two days, the entire southern Divinity learned about this. Following that, the Craftsmen’s Sect declared that—a patriarch managing business at southern Divinity was enraged and orders were made to get to the bottom of this matter. News had it that anyone that could find the employer or the habitat of the Pupil-less Monkeys would be granted a sacred-grade Relic.

The entire southern Divinity was thrilled by this!

Craftsmen’s Sect deserved to be one of the four legendary forces. Their reward was a sacred-grade Relic, which some Chiefs of major forces were longing for.

Sacred-grade Relics were difficult to come by. They could not be purchased even if enough Divine Sources were provided. The reasons were the Craftsmen’s Sect had strict control of the production quantities. Only three would be auctioned every one hundred years. Therefore, Divine Sources were not a guarantee that one could buy one sacred-grade Relic.

Many people sprang to work and searched for Pupil-less Monkeys. As for the employer, that person could never be found. It must be someone powerful from a big force to be able to hire Pupil-less Monkeys. How could someone like this leave behind traces or clues?

Whatever happened in the world outside had nothing to do with Lu Li and Qian Huanhan. They were cultivating in Patriarch Gu’s place. Lu Li felt lucky that he stayed alive this time. The possible reason would be that the plan was not perfect enough. But next time around, he may not be so fortunate.

“Master, someone is using psychic power to pry!” On the third day of cultivation, Lu Li was alerted by Blood Fairy. He put away the book he was reading at once.

“Lu Li, come here!”

Patriarch Gu said. Lu Li stood up and hurried to the backyard. Patriarch Gu was sitting under the grape trellis with a dagger in his hand. Giving Lu Li the dagger, Patriarch Gu said coldly, “Cut your finger. I need a drop of your blood!”

“What?”

Lu Li was taken aback. What would Patriarch Gu need his blood for? As he was hesitating, Patriarch Gu pulled a long face and bellowed, “What? Are you going to say no?”

Lu Li made up his mind and cut his finger. His blood dripped down. Patriarch Gu collected a drop of his blood and said, “Go back and cultivate. Do not leave this yard without my orders.”

“Yes!”

Lu Li clasped his fists and left. When he went back to his room, he did not cultivate. Instead, he used psychic power to secretly check the situation outside.

“Whoosh~”

He noticed the space trembled. Someone flew up from the backyard. Lu Li rushed out and as he had thought, it was Patriarch Gu who was running toward the plaza and then was teleported away.

“What is Patriarch Gu doing? Why did he leave after asking a drop of my blood?”

Lu Li was puzzled. Patriarch Gu was being so weird that Lu Li had not the faintest clue. What could a drop of blood do? Could Patriarch Gu find out about Lu Li from this blood? Then why would Patriarch Gu want to do that?

Lu Li stood there for an hour without getting anywhere. He decided to stop bothering himself with this and went back to his room. He turned on the Inhibition Formation and resumed reading books on Inhibition Formations.

Unknowingly, four to five days had passed as he was reading. Patriarch Gu had not come back yet. Lu Li’s confusion grew. He thought for a bit more but still had no answer. So, he kept on reading his books.

Another five days passed before Patriarch Gu’s return. As soon as he arrived, he called Lu Li over.

“Here we go!”

Lu Li’s heart skipped a beat. He had so many questions and Patriarch Gu may be able to answer them. Was this a good thing or a bad thing?

What must be, must be!

Lu Li made up his mind and walked to the backyard. Patriarch Gu was sitting under the grape trellis, straight-faced. When Lu Li arrived, he took out that tower and showed Lu Li in.

This time, they were in a different hall and there was a large seat there. Sitting there, Patriarch Gu glared at Lu Li and said, “Should I call you Lu Li, or Li Lu, or Lu Lin?”

“Swish~”

Lu Li turned pale instantly with fright. Patriarch Gu did go to check his identity and he got every piece of information just relying on a drop of blood.

Lu Li calmed himself down. Since Patriarch Gu had taken him to this interspatial artifact, it must be his intention that the contents of their conversation would not be made public. In other words, Patriarch Gu was the only one knew who Lu Li really was.

This thought relieved Lu Li a bit. He bowed. “Patriarch, I did not mean to hide my identity. I was forced to do this.”

It was true that the Chamber of Relics never asked people to have clean hands or that they had to report everything about themselves. That being said, Lu Li was trying to have a good attitude. Patriarch Gu was eccentric. If Lu Li gave the wrong answer, he could be killed by Patriarch Gu.
