Chapter 946: Hit the Road

Many valuables and materials were collected from the Underworld Island for Zi Ji was not only the master of the Underworld Realm but also the leader of the Mermaid Race.

This race once was powerful in the Paleo-beast Realm. When they fled to the Underworld Realm; they took many treasures with them, which had fallen to Lu Li’s pockets now.

Lu Li did not know all of them and he could not decide what to do with Zi Ji. She would rather die than being a slave. Lu Li would have to end her life or to imprison her by force.

He was totally unfamiliar with the place and the people of the Paleo-beast Realm. He was blind-sighted. If he took Zi Ji with him, it would make the trip much easier for him. Eventually, Lu Li decided to take away Zi Ji’s cultivation achievements.

Even taking the shape of humans, Zi Ji did have an internal core in her body. The internal core was most crucial to Xuan Beasts. The internal core ruined was equivalent to a warrior losing Xuan Energy, making it impossible for the Xuan Beasts to utilize their skills. At the very least, Zi Ji would not be able to control dragons of water nor to play “Sonata of Mermaids”. The best she could do was soul attack, which was harmless to Lu Li.

Lu Li winked at Patriarch Sun who took out a dagger, dashed over and pierced into Zi Ji’s abdomen. She clinched at the pain and blood seeped out from her mouth. In her eyes, she demonstrated deep hatred. She glared at Patriarch Sun as if she was going to devour him.

“Hmm!”

Patriarch Sun snorted. He took out the Demon Trapping Chains to bond him up. Lu Li nodded and let the Dragon Demon come back. Then, he put the trapped Zi Ji into the outer hall in the Wicked Bead. Jiang Qiling and the twins were in the inner hall. Zi Ji would not be able to hurt them even if she tempted to make a move.

Zi Ji was seized. Patriarch Sun continued to scour for Zi Ji’s treasures, and he filled more than a dozen Interspatial Rings before he searched everywhere on the island. The entrance to the Paleo-beast Realm was found. It was in an underground palace, which was underneath the island.

“Take a look around!”

Lu Li waved his hand. The patriarchs went to different sides to search. Other than finding mermaids living in many small islands, they did not find anything worth noting.

Lu Li promised that he would not murder those of the Mermaid Race, so he asked Patriarch Sun to come back and started the way back.

At the entrance to the Underworld Realm, Lu Li asked Patriarch Sun and the other four to stay and guard the entrance, in case it was ruined. He took Jiang Qiling and the twins back to the Ocean Land of the East and teleported back to the Demon-slaying Hall.

The fight with the Feather Race had not come to a conclusion yet. Patriarch of Law Enforcement had gone to the Feather Land of the West and so had Ke Mang. Lu Li had no other choice but to wait. He stayed in the Demon-slaying Hall with Jiang Qiling and the twins, continuing to study the third line diagram.

A month later, Lu Li had learned three more small components. Finally, Patriarch of Law Enforcement returned. They had won over the small world in the Feather Land of the West, and the royal family of the Feather Race was dead. No force at the Feather Land of the West could ever threaten the human race. Only one or two Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the Feather Race were in hiding but they could not cause serious troubles.

“Paleo-beast Realm?”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s sparse eyebrows was knitted together upon hearing Lu Li’s account. Patriarch of Law Enforcement thought about and said, “Wait here and let me find something.”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement left in a hurry. A moment later, he came back and said, “Paleo-beasts did exist but more like legends. It is said that in ancient times, the Heaven Reverse Universe was crowded with paleo-beasts. Back then, humans were their food and were raised like livestock… ”

“But later, the paleo-beasts angered a god who punished them by destroying the paleo-beasts. Almost all of them were gone. Yet some mated with humans and gave birth to many offspring, i.e. the ancient races such as the Feather Race and the Asmodians…”

“She told me the truth!”

Lu Li nodded. Zi Ji did not lie to him. The ancient races were a result of humans and paleo-beasts mating together. No wonder so many ancient races looked like humans but had abilities of Xuan Beasts.

“Lu Li!”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement pondered about it and said, “I don’t think we should take the risk. Paleo-beasts are different from Xuan Beasts and other animals because the former is highly intelligent. They know how to cultivate and possess various skills. We entering the Paleo-beast Realm out of impulse is making us enemies of the paleo-beasts. It is likely that we will lose our lives there.”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Li meant the world for the human race. What Lu Li proposed was to go to an unknown world and face enemies that were once overlords of many places. Zi Ji claimed that there was no Mythical Creature among the current paleo-beasts. But what if there were?

In addition—only paleo-beasts resided in the Paleo-beast Realm. As two humans, they would be plagued by crisis there and everyone could be their enemy. They were totally unfamiliar with the place and the people. Once fallen into battle, their chances of survival would be unpredictable.

“Great-grandpa!”

Lu Li understood Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s concerns. He decided to share information since they were the only two in the room.

Lu Li said with honesty, “I had obtained the Wicked Bead in the Imperial Universe. The Wicked Bead is a Relic, and many powerful warriors fought for it. In the end, a mysterious powerful warrior named the Crippled Zen Master helped and scared away the enemies. However, it is possible that they are trying to bring down barriers between different worlds, invade the Heaven Reverse Universe and force me to give up the Wicked Bead. I reckon they will arrive in two or three years. I must grow to best them and save the Heaven Reverse Universe.”

“Because of a strange animal tooth, I awakened the silver dragon Bloodline which is miraculous. I can gain new Bloodline skills constantly, but provided that I have access to Origin Blood Essence. Therefore… I must go to the Paleo-beast Realm to obtain the Origin Blood Essence of Nine-clawed Silver Dragon.”

Lu Li did not give much specifics, but Patriarch of Law Enforcement did understand him. He gave it further thoughts and said, “I will go with you. There is not much going on at the Heaven Reverse Universe anyways. Zhengyang will make sure that everything is fine.”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement left and sent a message for Lu Zhengyang to come and then give some orders to Jiang Tianshun and Patriarch Lei. Lu Li gathered Jiang Qiling and the twins; and explained to them. Afterwards, he left with Patriarch of Law Enforcement along with Ke Mang.

Jiang Qiling watched as Lu Li, Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Ke Mang go. Bai Xiashuang, being innocent, did not know what Lu Li was going to do. On the other hand, Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue did have a faint idea. Therefore… their faces were turning pale.

Lu Li was powerful. He only told them that he was going to a small world. Then why did he have to take Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Ke Mang with him? He did not say much, but Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue could tell that this small world was out of ordinary.

Also, Lu Li left behind a silk bag and the two of them can only open it if he could not come back in two years.

Two years? Was Lu Li going to a remote place or… a very dangerous place, so risky that he had to leave a note?

“Darling, please come back in safety!”

Bai Qiuxue prayed to herself. She would not stop Lu Li because what he aspired to do would be grand. All she could do was to pray for his safe return.

“Darling, go and explore. Do not worry.”

A glint of determination rose in Jiang Qiling’s eyes. She murmured in a voice only audible to herself, “If something were to happen to you, I would not let you leave the world by yourself. I would accompany you in the region beyond the grave.”
