Chapter 1267: A Way Out
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lou Tianxing sounded arrogant. He claimed he would go to Cabinet of Cloud and tear down their residence alone.
But nobody doubted his resolution and ability. Lou Tianxing was known as a nutcase in southern Divinity. He had done so many crazy things.
More importantly, he was powerful. He ranked No. 530 on the list in the Divinity, about the same with Chief of Cabinet of Cloud. Besides, the Fundamental Principle Lou Tianxing learnt was special. Chief of Cabinet of Cloud might not have the courage to fight Lou Tianxing when he was in a crazed state.
The most terrifying warriors in the Divinity were not the powerful ones, but the unrestrained ones, the ones that would lose their minds every now and then. Lou Tianxing was such a warrior.
Ling Hong and the others felt frustrated when they looked into that pair of eyes. It was Ling Feidu that was killed, and they should be the ones venting their anger. Now, how come they became the target?
“Buzzing…”
Space in the cave suddenly trembled and Lu Li was teleported out. He had activated the Cloaking Armor directly. When he stepped out, he was extremely nervous because there were so many powerful warriors out here.
He did not dare to move a bit when he came out. Making sure that no psychic power was focused on him, he stole his way out. His steps were light and he was moving slowly.
He was fortunate that the ones here were all paying attention to Lou Tianxing. Nobody noticed what was going on in the cave. Ling Hong and the others stared at the pair of eyes. Ling Hong as clasping his hands and he felt wronged. “Tianxing, my son died a tragic death and even the other disciples that came to Tomb of King Luna were killed in a merciless way. Our Chief was shocked. If it were Shi’er that suffered such misfortune, you would be angry, too, right? I am not forcing Lou Shi’er to do anything. I just want them to stay here for now to cooperate with us in the investigation. When the murderer is found, I will go to Pavilion of Misty Drizzle and apologize myself. What do you say?”
Lu Li had just stepped outside the cave when he suddenly stopped because he felt cold all around his body. That pair of eyes threw a glance at him. Just this one look and Lu Li felt he could not bear the horror. If he were to collapse on the ground, he could make some noises and that would expose him.
“Grandpa!”
Luckily, Lou Shi’er suddenly shouted. That pair of eyes moved away from Lu Li. Lou Shi’er clasped his hands, “Now that Patriarch Ling has said so, grandpa, you can leave us to it. We will work with him. It is understandable that he is in a bad mood since Ling Feidu was murdered. I did something wrong just now as well. I am sorry that I have bothered you, grandpa.”
“Let’s go!”
When Lou Shi’er began to talk, Lu Li moved again. Lou Shi’er had created such a brilliant chance. If Lu Li did not know to grasp the chance, he would be an idiot.
Lou Shi’er was clever and there was something buried between the lines. By saying so, he had indicated that Lou Tianxing needn’t pay attention to Lu Li. Lou Tianxing might be crazy, but he was brilliant given that he was a mighty warrior.
“Hmm!”
Lou Tianxing sneered. After the time for 10 breaths, he said again, “It’s okay that you assist him in the investigation. But Ling Hong, get this, I can scold and hit my grandson, but I cannot allow anyone else to do so. Or else… hmm!”
In the time for 10 breaths, Lu Li had gone past the encirclement and stepped outside the valley. He hurried forward in a soundless way.
He was lucky because Ling Hong and the others were focusing on Lou Tianxing. Besides, this time, Cabinet of Cloud did not send over a super mighty warrior. Otherwise, Lu Li would have been discovered as soon as he came out from the cave.
That pair of eyes threw a look toward Lu Li’s direction. Lu Li trembled again, but the next moment, Lou Tianxing’s eyes vanished in the air.
Lou Shi’er was relieved. He put away his weapon. Just now, he noticed Lou Tianxing’s eyes and knew that Lu Li had escaped from the valley.
Lou Shi’er gave Holy Princess a look and she took the hint. A trace of smile flushed away. She did not know the exact plan developed by Lu Li and Lou Shi’er, but she knew that since Lu Li had snuck out from the valley without a trace, it would become tremendously difficult for Cabinet of Cloud to hunt Lu Li down.
“Put away your weapons and assist Cabinet of Cloud in finding out the murderer!”
Holy Princess waved her hand and led her team to the side. Lou Shi’er did the same thing. The warriors from Cabinet of Cloud broke down the encirclement. Anyways, it was not like that Lou Shi’er and the others could run away.
Ling Gang told a group of people to guard the cave. He patted Ling Hong’s shoulders and walked to Lou Shi’er. Ling Gang wanted to ask for some information of Tomb of King Luna.
But disciples of Palace of Snow Mountain and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle had had their memories erased. Cabinet of Cloud could not search Holy Princess and Lou Shi’er’s souls. Cabinet of Cloud could acquire some information, but they would not find out the murderer.
…
Lu Li was outside the valley. He did not stop and kept on hurrying forward in a stealthy way. Lou Shi’er told him about the Black Cliff to the northeast. There was a black market where Lu Li could buy citizenship.
He sped up to the extreme. Wearing the Cloaking Armor guaranteed that he left no trace. He was well aware that he was not in complete safety even though he had come out.
Warlord skeleton, immortal’s body, and the Wicked Bead could give him away!
Besides, God of Wings was outside Tomb of King Luna. Who could tell if she had gone back to Office of Creation? When Cabinet of Cloud leveraged their force to hunt down Lu Li and God of Wings provided such information, then the entire southern Divinity could start to look for Lu Li.
Lou Shi’er might have gone too far in that little act. For the time being, Ling Hong might be convinced. However, as time moved on, he would have suspicions. If Lu Li could not join Chamber of Relics before Cabinet of Cloud noticed the clues, he could still suffer a misfortune.
“Faster, faster, faster!”
Lu Li did not stop one moment as he dashed on. Luckily, those nearby had come to the valley. There were no wild beasts in the valley here as well so the trip was an easy one.
The distance was not very far away. In a bit over a day, Lu Li had found that huge cliff, the Black Cliff.
He walked around and soon noticed there was Inhibition Formation in a small cave, and he noticed some scouts in hiding nearby.
He put away the armor and changed to Dragon Armor. He strode his way to the cave. Before he arrived, a skinny middle-aged man came out and looked at Lu Li, alerted. “What do you want here?”
“I am here to buy something!”
Lu Li took out five hundred Divine Sources and said, “My friend told me that you have many good products here.”
“Sure!”
That middle-aged man beamed with delight as soon as Lu Li took out five hundred Divine Sources. “We have everything you cannot buy in a city. We just received a group of fox ladies and every one of them is amazing. Young Master, if you are interested, you can enjoy this treat. Ha, ha!”
The skinny middle-aged man showed Lu Li into the cave. Once Lu Li was inside, he felt he was in another world. This was a grand hall.
Two rows beautiful ladies stood in the hall. They were dressed in an exposed way. There were four corridors leading to different chambers in the hall.
“Welcome!”
There were 10 beautiful ladies kneeling on the ground and their breasts were revealed. Their smiles were flirty. Lu Li exclaimed to himself that the greeting method in this black market was quite enticing.
An old man in the hall was the one in charge. He should be equivalent to a prefecture warrior. He walked up to Lu Li and said, “Young Master, welcome to Black Mountain Palace. Are you looking for artifacts or entertainment? Young Master, as long as you have Divine Sources, we can give you everything you need!”
