Recalling the roar at the peak of the mountain, Bai Qiuxue remembered that at that moment, she could not hear anything. It was as if she were completely deprived of any form of sensation. She wouldn’t know even if she were to be killed anybody at that state.
It meant that her soul was shattered which disabled her from thinking, or sensing on the outside. The roar was similar to legendary soul-influencing Xuan Skill. That was why Bai Qiuxue made the assumption.
Xuan Skill of the soul category!
There was only one known man of the entire Northern Desert that understood this kind of Xuan Skill, i.e. the King of the Heaven Cold Kingdom. He focused on cultivating soul-category Xuan Skill. Once he utilized such Xuan Skill, even the Old Man of Heaven Prison would find it hard to deal with…
Lu Li had no Bloodline mark on him which was a hard fact. Therefore, Bai Qiuxue was convinced that he couldn’t master any kind of Bloodline Skill. Xuan Skill of the soul category was the only explanation.
"Did he get it from the Tomb of Dragon King?"
Bai Qiuxue once read information about Lu Li. If Ming Yu hadn’t come during the fight at the Blood Evil Island, Lu Li would be long gone.
When they got to the peak just now, he was almost killed by Yu Lingxu. Hence, it was not possible that Lu Li had learned this Xuan Skill long ago. He must have only perceived it recently.
On thinking of this, Bai Qiuxue even became jealous. With the Xuan Skill and his fast cultivation speed, as long as he didn’t die too prematurely, Lu Li would grow to be a powerful warrior standing at the peak of the Northern Desert sooner or later.
"How come Lu Li has become so powerful?"
Xu Fangfei and many others were confused. Xu Fangfei had always been disliking Lu Li. For her, Lu Li and the Liu Family were just more than dozens homeless dogs that had fled from the outside world. Ming Yu must have made a mistake. How could Lu Li be his Young Master?
Ming Yu never showed up again. Nor did he send any messages to the Xu Family. These had convinced Xu Fangfei of her belief.
The first time she went to the Blood Evil Island with Xu Yaoyang, she had felt Lu Li to be too arrogant. Later, at Xu Chen’s birthday banquet, Lu Li provoked Bai Xiashuang in broad day light, which worsened her impression of Lu Li.
A bumpkin from the outside, an unimportant warrior at the Spirit Sea Realm, Lu Li had unrefined characters built in his bones. Xu Fangfei despised Lu Li very much.
The bumpkin that she looked down upon made a demonstration of might today. He broke legs of more than 10 warriors all by himself. How could Xu Fangfei buy it? How could she not become shocked?
"Punk, how dare you to break my legs. I will take your surname if I don’t kill you. Ah…"
Du Ziling had come to his senses. He bellowed while screamed in pain. His amorous eyes were filled with rage and cruelty.
If it was Bai Qiuxue, or Ye Yuhan or Yu Lingxu or somebody else that had broken his legs, he wouldn’t be so outrageous. Lu Li was just a nobody. Now Lu Li had broken his legs in the presence of all. He was ashamed and boiling with anger.
Some other young masters cursed with Du Ziling. Lu Li was bothered by the noise so he turned back around. Without saying anything, he rushed toward those warriors. Seeing this, Du Ziling and the other injured warriors dared not to scream any more. The small triangle mark on Du Ziling’s neck lit up as he was ready to attack at any time.
"Roar~"
Once again, Lu Li gave another roar of dragon which made everyone bleed from their noses and mouths. They all hugged their heads and rolled around on the ground. Lu Li launched forward, lift up his leg and stomped hard on Du Ziling’s chest.
"Lu Li, don’t kill him!"
Bai Qiuxue was frightened. Du Ziling was the princess of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom. If he were to die here, a war would break out.
Lu Li controlled the strength on his leg. A noise of bones breaking came out. The chest of Du Ziling caved in. Nobody could know for sure how many bones in his chest were broken.
"Swish, swish!"
Lu Li then stomped on Du Ziling’s two hands with a speed as fast as lightning. Bones of both of his hands were cracked.
Lu Li rushed around, circled around the more than 10 warriors. Only after he broke the bones of everyone’s hands and chests did he come back carefree.
Utter dreary cries and screams filled the place. Miserable cries and painful howls were abound. Many people’s faces were covered with blood. Their evil ghost-like appearances were shocking to the sight.
Xu Fangfei and some other Ladies moved closer to Bai Qiuxue as they were fearful. They were looking at Lu Li with different eyes.
It was not usual for these Ladies to see a man with such heartless actions and such cruel means. Lu Li was now like a demon to these Ladies.
"Let’s go!"
Bai Qiuxue’s expressions didn’t change much. She just waved her hand to signal everyone to go and find the way out. The young ladies of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom didn’t gather around. Nor were they wounded. Of course, later, they would help tend to the wounds of Du Ziling and others. Bai Qiuxue wouldn’t worry too much about them as long as nobody was dead.
The ones left moved on in silence. Lu Li was still staying at the back of the team in low-key. However, this time, nobody else dared to belittle Lu Li. Some Ladies would look back at him once in a while. They would retract their stares at once as if they had seen a ferocious beast.
Bai Xiashuang kept asking Bai Qiuxue what happened at the peak and if she had really got the hidden treasures of Dragon King. Bai Qiuxue was carrying wounds so she was not in the mood to spend much time taking to Bai Xiashuang. The former just casually explained for a bit.
Bai Xiashuang was bored. She went to the back of the team to pose her questions to Lu Li. She was not afraid of Lu Li for even a tiny bit. Instead, her attitude toward Lu Li was much better. A sign of high spirit showed up on her pretty face and she was very excited.
Lu Li’s mind was weighted down with stuff. He was not interested in talking to Bai Xiashuang well. He just casually communicated with her, answering only the questions she posed. He said frankly that Yu Lingxu was controlled by demon and that he almost killed all the others. Eventually, under the concerted efforts between him and Bai Qiuxue, Yu Lingxu was killed.
So few words but Bai Xiashuang and the others were astonished. They felt sorry as well. The Coffin of Dragon King flew away? All the valued treasures of Dragon King were in there.
While they walked on, they engaged in heated discussions. However, Lu Li said nothing more. He kept thinking about the Dragon Roar Bloodline Skill and what kind of situation he would have to deal with when he got out…
"Okay, we will camp her. Bai Gu, Bai Rong and Bai Ying, bring someone with you and go to explore a way out. We must leave the Tomb of Dragon King as soon as we can. Use a signal detonator if anything jumps out."
On an open place at the foot of a small hill, Bai Qiuxue stopped and gave out her orders. Bai Gu and the rest that were name all brought one or two men with them and they went their respective ways to all directions. Bai Qiuxue led the Ladies to a small cave. After a while, Bai Qiuxue came out with a clean dress.
"Lu Li, don’t worry. I will ask Uncle Leng to resolve the matter."
Seeing Lu Li sitting on the ground with his legs crossed silently, Bai Qiuxue walked over to him and told him gently. Lu Li opened his eyes and nodded. She then sat next to him to tend to her wounds.
"Swish~"
An hour later, Bai Gu came back. He shouted from a distance, "Lady Qiuxue, we have found the exit."
"Send a signal detonator and everyone gather around!"
Bai Qiuxue was not recovered even though she had spent an hour healing her wounds. Yet once she heard the news, she commanded Bai Gu to call Bai Ying and the others back with a signal detonator. After they came back, Bai Qiuxue led the group of warriors walking toward the north with great strength and vigor.
Bai Gu was leading the way at the front. After they rushed about for more than three miles, a cliff showed up. Below the cliff was a black stone gate which was open now so a dim entrance appeared.
"Creak, creak!"
Bai Gu took the lead, took out his weapon and rushed in. With a streak of white light, Bai Gu disappeared in there. Bai Qiuxue waved her hand and led all the other warriors to rush into the stone gate.
"Buzzing!"
A ray of white glare flashed by. Lu Li suddenly opened up his eyes. He began checking the surroundings at once. Soon, his eyes lit up.
He was familiar with the scene. They were teleported back to the hall at the entrance. In front of them were clearly the nine gates with the characters of "life" and "death" written on them.
"We made it!"
All the Families had sent people into the hall before. They could leave the Cliff of Purgatory along the tunnel. They were now completely safe here.
"Lu Li, we will leave first. Of course, if nothing jumps out, it will be the best. If something is going to happen, I will ask Uncle Leng to help."
Bai Qiuxue walked over to Lu Li to tell him. He nodded. Bai Qiuxue strode out with the other warriors.
Lu Li followed them. The Mighty Heaven Halberd showed up in his hands. He was ready to fight with his life.
