nd. Ye Cha once said that they were lacking several Mystical Materials so they couldn’t break through to the Noble Lord Realm. One of the most important one was the Rising Dragon Grass.
If…
He were to give the Rising Dragon Grass to them, it would be a tremendous force if three or four of them, if not six, could reach the Noble Lord Realm. With warriors at the Noble Lord Realm protecting him, no matter how many assassins the Yu Family sent, all of them would die.
Also… in that case, he could leave the Northern Desert for the Central Plains any time he wanted to go to look for Lu Ling.
Lu Ling was shaking with excitement thinking this. Ye Cha and the others could not get out as they were bounded by the Inhibition Formation. Once they reached the Noble Lord Realm, thought, they could leave and go back as they will. Then Lu Li could go anywhere he desired to go in the world.
"Father, mother, and my dear sister, soon I will be able to look for you."
Lu Li took a deep breath, stood up and left. A streak of cold air breezed through after he went out of the fortress. He suddenly stopped. He seemed to have come to his senses because of the cold wind.
"No, I cannot be so impulsive!"
He calmed down. There were too many doubts about the small world of the Mammoth Race and the Cyan Phoenix Race. What if it was some kind of trap? What if he was murdered by some scheme the two races devised because he sent the two races top level elixirs?
The more Lu Li knew, the more he was in fear and awe of the world. The world was filled with too many dangers. One wrong move could mean dying without a proper burial ground.
Hunchback Tian said the Mammoth Race was born to be less intelligent, in other words, silly. But the Cyan Phoenix Race was famous for being sly. If he was trapped by an evil plan, not only would he lose his Rising Dragon Grasses, he could lose his life as well.
What was more, the inscription on the stone tablet said that he was the Saint Lord of the two races. Lu Li still found it hard to believe in as the thing was too absurd.
He stood on the top of the mountain for nearly half a day before he straightened his head out. He had thought of an idea.
"Hunchback Tian!"
Lu Li shouted. Hunchback Tian appeared like a ghost. Lu Li didn’t look at him while he questioned him in a low voice, "Do you think I can trust the Cyan Phoenix Race?"
Hunchback Tian was confused as to why Lu Li suddenly mentioned the Cyan Phoenix Race.
He thought about it and replied, "Based on what they did before, I think they are trustworthy. At least… they don’t seem to want anything else from you, my Master."
Lu Li didn’t respond to this. He asked again after some consideration, "Can you get some information about the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race? Detailed information."
"No problem."
Hunchback Tian said, "The two races are famous. There are many records on ancient books. Buy any ancient books and we can find the information."
"Go ahead!" Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Ask Patriarch Seven to get the most detailed information. Keep it confidential. Nobody else can know."
Hunchback Tian rushed down the Dragon Elephant Mountain. Lu Li again sunk into deep thoughts as he stood on the peak of the mountain. This time, it was after dark when he returned to his fortress.
The next day, Patriarch Seven delivered Lu Li a scroll of ancient text in person. Lu Li had some understanding about the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race now that he browsed through it.
Ye Cha didn’t lie. The two races really were once famous races in the Central Plains. They dominated a region for 100,000 years.
Five thousand years ago, the Central Plains were suddenly seized by the current six families. The two races were destroyed. In the book, it read all the disciples of the two races died, so the outside world didn’t know that the remaining warriors of the two races were hiding in the small world.
Lu Li said nothing for a whole. He suddenly shouted towards the darkness, "Hunchback Tian!"
Hunchback Tian lived in the stone fortress on the Dragon Elephant Mountain. He soon came to Lu Li. The latter waved his hand and said, "Go, take me to the Earth Dragon Island and go into that small world. Remember… don’t let anyone have any idea about where we are going."
"The small world?"
Hunchback Tian was confused. What was Lu Li doing going to that small world? Hunchback Tian was afraid to ask, though. He nodded and said, "No problem."
Grabbing Lu Li with one hand, Hunchback Tian rushed out of the island under the cover of the dark night. The route he chose was out of the normal way. The Inhibition Formations were basically built under his instructions so he naturally wouldn’t activate any.
They secretly sneaked out the Blood Evil Island and landed on the Earth Dragon Island in silence. Granted, there were scouts here, but how could they discover Hunchback Tian?
The two got down the volcano and entered the underground river tunnel. Instead of letting Hunchback Tian go in, Lu Li asked him to stay on guard at the underground river and to inform him at once by breaking a jade talisman should anything happen.
Lu Li got down to the underground lake by himself. He used his Xuan Energy to trigger the Inhibition Formation, and he was once again teleported into the small world.
It was still in the forest that he appeared last time, yet this time, there were people guarding this place. Two warriors of the Cyan Phoenix Race appeared. They knelt down immediately after seeing Lu Li and said, "Greetings, Saint Lord!"
Lu Li nodded and waved his hand. "Show me to your Clan Leader!"
