Little White was so small. It must not have been born for a long time but it could already control Gargoyle Rats. By that calculation, Little White must be of at least the sixth or even possibly seventh rank.
If Little White really was at the seventh rank, it would be a Beast King. Once it grew, it would be as powerful as a warrior at the Human Sovereign Realm, if not more powerful.
More importantly, Little White had been acting quite well. It had been tame since the beginning. The probability of this happening, to be sure, was small. Any family or force would be desiring for it. Little White meant a beast for protection for them.
Xuan Beasts usually could live very long. The higher the rank was, the longer a beast’s life expectancy would be. Even if Little White was only at the sixth rank, it could easily live for thousands of years. If Little White was at the seventh-rank, then any family or force that had Little White could prosper for thousands of years worry-free.
Of course…
This was all in Lu Li’s head. Maybe he had thought too badly of those people. Caution was the parent of safety. Lu Li still decided to leave as soon as back-up from the Pavilion of Delicacy arrived.
The caves of ghosts had been erupting less frequently and the gravity was reducing. As soon as the gravity returned to normal, they could go easily and then find cities to be teleported to Mystic Armor City.
The days that followed were quiet. Jiang Qiling never did horrible things again. She had been resting and recovering quietly. She even spent some time in closed-door cultivation.
Lu Li had given her two goals, reasons for her to live on. Those two goals had inspired Jiang Qiling, making her reluctant to give up. Once this conviction formed in her head, she could cultivate at a very fast speed given how talented she was…
Yu Huashen would go out to collect Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals often but there weren’t many of those nearby anymore. Lu Li wasn’t worried about him. Lu Li had been focusing on trying to understand the clip of memory of the demon sent by the silver dragon mark.
Lu Li was so excited that he got a method to comprehend the Mirror Image Profound Meaning and how to integrate it with Apparition. How he wished to master it at once.
Days and days passed on. No more caves of ghosts were erupting, and the gravity was much less strong as well. People from the Pavilion of Delicacy should be arriving soon.
Lu Li only came out from cultivation once. He asked Yu Huashen to keep a lookout on whether back-up from the Pavilion of Delicacy was arriving so they could leave at any time.
Three days later, a jade talisman in Ming Yu's hand broke. He woke Lu Li up at once. Lu Li opened his eyes, learning that warriors from the Pavilion of Delicacy were here and that it was time for them to go.
Lu Li left behind a letter and walked out with Ming Yu. Ming Yu took out a chariot onto which they both boarded. The chariot was activated and soon it vanished.
"Ah?"
"Young Master Lu is gone? Young Master Lu is gone!"
Lu Li and Ming Yu were leaving so quickly that the other people didn't realize it. They only shouted in surprise after the chariot had disappeared into the air.
Jiang Hong rushed out, sending his psychic power to search for them. However, given that the gravity was not strong and the chariot was fast, he could not sense them anymore.
"Young Master Lu!"
Jiang Hong anxiously shouted. Jiang Qiling was alarmed and she walked out. She sent to Lu Li's tent, seemingly not to worried.
She murmured to herself when she found a letter on the bed, "Good for you."
Jiang Hong followed her in. Jiang Qiling had already opened the letter and there was only one sentence on it—I have stuff to do so I have to go now. The world is a big one but we shall meet again.
Jiang Qiling put the letter into her Interspatial Ring. Looking at Jiang Hong in a panic, she coldly said, "What are you so nervous about? Back-up from Pavilion of Delicacy are here."
Jiang Qiling was a clever girl. She knew that it was about time the rescue from Pavilion of Delicacy to arrive. She understood Lu Li and knew that he would leave early. The beast was so precious and Lu Li's identity would bring him trouble as well.
Lu Li was never fond of troubles. With two Noble Lord Realm warriors, he could leave the Gargoyle Mountain easily so he would leave in advance for sure.
As she expected—
In the time for only half an incense stick to burn, two huge Iron-armored Ships whooshed by through the sky. Both of them had markings of Pavilion of Delicacy and there were three Noble Lord Realm warriors on each one accompanied by rows of Eternal Realm warriors.
People on the ground were relieved. Powerful warriors of the Pavilion of Delicacy showed up. They were safe now. But many people sunk into despair thinking about their lost loved ones.
"Whoosh~"
The six Noble Lord Realm warriors flew down with the other warriors. They got on one knee in front of Jiang Qiling and said, "Greetings, Lady Qi."
Jiang Qiling replied in a cold manner. One of the old warriors cupped his fists and said again, "Lady Qi, Master of Pavilion of Delicacy has been informed of what has happened here. He is very sorry and sends his condolences. Master asks that you return to the Mountain of Delicacy right away and we will deal with the rest of the matter."
Surprisingly, Jiang Qiling agreed. She looked at Jiang Hong and said, "Go back with me. Leave the rest to them."
Jiang Hao's body was put away by Jiang Hong. He nodded and got onto one of the Iron-armored Ships with Jiang Qiling, followed by three Noble Lord Realm warriors and several other warriors.
The Iron-armored Ship came particularly for Jiang Qiling. With a glow, the ship turned to the west and flew away.
Jiang Qiling stood on the deck at the back, looked to the east and murmured, "See you again, Lu Li. Keep alive. When I become the Master of the Pavilion of Delicacy, you will have to wash my feet."
...
Lu Li was already more than 30 miles away. The gravity still had its influence so the chariot couldn't fly quite high or fast. Also, Lu Li had asked Ming Yu to slow down a bit.
Yu Huashen hadn't come up yet. He had been collecting Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals. The chariot was following him because Little White was on it to help him control Gargoyle Rats.
Without Little White, Yu Huashen would have a difficult time to collect those Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals. They had to cross the Gargoyle Mountain anyways. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
If Lu Li was not so anxious abo entire Gargoyle Mouut getting back to the Lu Family, they could stay here for months and go through thentain. They could get many Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals.
However, after the Gargoyle Mountain quieted down, the Pavilion of Delicacy and many nearby forces would send warriors over to collect Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals. Lu Li was snatching food from the jaws of a tiger. If Jiang Qiling had left already, what could Lu Li rely on to fight the Pavilion of Delicacy?
Lu Li decided that they would go towards the east and collect as many as Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals within their abilities. He asked Ming Yu to take control of the chariot, observing the surroundings while he sat on the chariot to continue his cultivation.
As they moved towards the east, more Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals appeared. It seemed nobody had been here before. This was a place full of treasures.
Yu Huashen never took any rest. He kept collecting day and night. He knew that the more Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals they could get, the sooner they could reach the Lu Family.
When Lu Li returned to his family, Yu Huashen would be freed based on Lu Li's character at least, if not gain some more profits.
Yu Huashen had already collected more than 200,000 Purple Xuan Crystals, which was equal to more than two billion Xuan Crystals. He had nearly 1000 Soul Crystals as well.
By the time they left the Gargoyle Mountain, he should be able to get hundreds of Purple Xuan Crystals and thousands of Soul Crystals. If they were to sell the Soul Crystals as well, they should be able to afford their travel expenses.
