Chapter 298: Wicked Sorcery Mountain

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li kept running with the coffin. Of course, it was not himself that was controlling his body. After all, he didn’t have the abilities and means to avoid the pursuit of so many warriors of the Noble Lord Realm.

He was currently conscious of his surroundings. The demon had been concentrating on controlling his body to get away from the pursuit, so it did not have the time to invade his soul.

Lu Li "saw" Ming Yu, Yu Huashen and Du Ran, but there was nothing he could do.

He couldn’t even control his own body now. He couldn’t make trouble for the demon at critical times, and his Soul Pond was enveloped by masses of green energy.

Lu Li thought the fact that he couldn’t control his body was attributable to his Soul Pond being surrounded by the green energy. His soul and body had been cut off by the energy, and without a connection, he couldn’t control any parts of his own body.

Lu Li was amazed by the means of the demon, especially the skill that could make him cover more than 500 yards in one step. He could clearly feel that, after he stepped forward, the space was trembling. Then he could go through space directly and appear in a place 500 yards away.

There was more to Apparition!

Lu Li learned the Heaven Grade Xuan Skill which had been enhanced markedly and was being improved constantly. Previously, even under the control of the demon, there could only be more than 10 clone shadows. Now, there were more than 60.

This could only mean one thing… the demon had stolen this Xuan Skill from his soul, improved it or integrated it with other secret skills or Profound Meanings to have it reach the current level.

The warriors of the Noble Lord Realm were rendered speechless by what happened. Not even Noble Lord Realm warriors could see the real person with their psychic power. Lu Li was in awe of the abilities of the demon. Actually, a demon that could stay in the Coffin of the Dragon King for so many years and that could still have a trace of its soul remaining must be some supernatural being.

Ming Yu, Yu Huashen, Du Bu and Du Ran figured that they should split up the second Apparition Skill was used and try to lock the positions of the real person.

Du Bu did succeed on one occasion, but as soon as he moved closer, the demon released Apparition Skill again, and he was once again unable to pursue.

Apparition Skill could be released as long as there was still Xuan Energy in Lu Li’s Spirit Sea.

Lu Li had abundant Xuan Energy in his Spirit Sea. There was enough of Xuan Energy to use for several months even if Lu Li didn’t absorb more Xuan Qi through cultivation. If the Du Family and the Qin Family didn’t send over more powerful warriors, there was no way that Lu Li could be stopped.

One was running away, while the others were chasing him. The afternoon had passed. Soon, night would fall.

Lu Li had led the more than a dozen Noble Lord Realm warriors for hundreds of thousands of miles. Qin Family sent over three more Noble Lord Realm warriors. Now, there were 17 of them following Lu Li…

"Send a message to Family Patriarch to ask him to come over!"

A patriarch of the Qin Family was at his wit’s end when he saw Lu Li generate another 60 illusionary shadows. He frowned and he knew that he must send the message now. Otherwise, nobody could stop the young man or the coffin.

Another patriarch of the Qin Family nodded and said, "Right, Brother Six, go to a nearby city and send the message to our Family Patriarch. The coffin will enter the Wicked Sorcery Mountain if he doesn’t come in time."

The patriarch of the Qin Family nodded and flew away. Du Bu witnessed all that. His expressions changed. He made up his mind and said to Du Ran, "You go and send a message as well and ask our Family Patriarch or Chief Patriarch to come here. If Lu Li really get into the Wicked Sorcery Mountain, not even god can save him."

"What is this Wicked Sorcery Mountain?"

Du Bu sighed and uttered a few words, "At the north of the Central Plains, the third most dangerous place here. Any warrior below the Human Sovereign Realm that dare to go in there will die!"

Another patriarch of the Du Family added, "This once was a retreat of a powerful warriors. The place is full of voodoo bugs and toxins and millions of Inhibition Formations. Those Inhibition Formations are not average ones, but ancient ones. They are very horrifying. If we go in, we will most certainly die. Not even our Family Patriarch or the Qin Family Patriarch dares to go deep into that mountain. The master of the Pavilion of Delicacy once went in. She said nothing after she came out, though. But no other person of the Pavilion of Delicacy ever went in again."

"Um…"

Ming Yu and Yu Huashen’s expressions changed. They continued their pursuit without saying anything else. Under the cover of the Ghost Mask, Ming Yu’s eyes grew colder than ever. His expression, should it be visible, must be very awful.

They actually had a sense that Lu Li, as of this moment, was not their Young Master.

Lu Li could not have had such unimaginable abilities. They couldn’t quite figure out what had happened and they were at a loss of what to do. Ming Yu had tried many times to stop Lu Li with Force. Unfortunately, every time, he had stopped merely the clone shadows. Not once did Ming Yu get close to the real person.

Ming Yu and Yu Huashen were ready to resign themselves to fate after they caught up with Lu Li and then lose him again because of his Apparition Skill. The only ones they could count on now was the Family Patriarch of the Du Family or the Chief Patriarch. They were both at the Human Sovereign Realm. As a matter of fact, they were the only two Human Sovereign Realm warriors of the Du Family. Otherwise, the Du Family would have become a seventh-rank one a long time ago.

Time pressed on, and it was deep into the night. The temperature had fallen and cold wind was raging. Warriors of the Noble Lord Realm were flying to all directions, trying to find Lu Li.

"Boom~"

From the east exploded another signal detonator. However, those warriors of the Noble Lord Realm had grown numb to those signals. What could they do even if they really found Lu Li? All they were doing was to follow Lu Li and not lose him again.

"Why aren’t they here yet?"

Du Bu was getting more and more anxious. They were about the reach the Wicked Sorcery Mountain any second now. If the Family Patriarch or the Chief Patriarch couldn’t make it, it would be too late.

"Hey!"

Du Bu suddenly thought of an idea and said, "Some of us can go to the Wicked Sorcery Mountain and try to stop Lu Li there. As long as Young Master Lu doesn’t get into the mountain, he can be saved when our Family Patriarch or Chief Patriarch gets here."

"Yes, right!"

The other patriarchs of the Du Family nodded. Soon, Du Bu asked four of them to fly directly to the east to the Wicked Sorcery Mountain and prepare to stop Lu Li there.

Ming Yu said after some thoughts, "Let me go as well. If Young Master Lu goes there, I can try to suppress him."

Ming Yu flew away with the others to the east directly. They were not far from the Wicked Sorcery Mountain. In the time for three incense sticks to burn, Ming Yu and the others had arrived at a towering mountain.

The mountain settled in the wild like a beast. There was dark purple fog in there, forming an atmosphere of austere gloominess. People could tell that the inside would be unusually dangerous and horrifying by just peeping from the outside.

Ming Yu waited nervously. He prayed that Lu Li wouldn’t come here and that he would at the same time. If Lu Li were to take this way, Ming Yu then could stop him with Force.

"Whoosh~"

After the time for two incense sticks to burn, there came a noise from the west. Then a coffin in golden glare appeared on the horizon. Lu Li took this way in the end.

"Here they come. Ready to stop them with Force!"

Ming Yu’s muscles tightened. The other four warriors of the Noble Lord Realm were stressed out as well. They all released their Beads of Life, weapons and treasures, ready to prevent Lu Li from entering or stop him.

Three miles, one mile and a half, one mile!

They could see Lu Li clearly now. He had a deranged look of disheveled hair, red eyes and twisted face that gave him the appearance of a desperate lonely wolf or a person running away from the hot pursuit of an enemy.

"Move!"

Ming Yu shouted and flew out. He released Force at once. The other four Noble Lord Realm warriors made their moves as well.

Right at that moment, Lu Li put on a mocking smile. He leaped onto the coffin which suddenly appeared on that spot in a cyan glare, and they vanished into thin air.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

All the released attacks ended up on the ground. Both Lu Li and the coffin were gone. Neither of them sustained any harm.

All the warriors kept their eyes wide open and looked around. While they were using their psychic power to check the surroundings, a ray of light suddenly shone on the Wicked Sorcery Mountain. Then a golden coffin appeared.

However, the coffin soon rushed into the dark purple fog of the mountain and then disappeared without a trace again…

"Young Master—"

Ming Yu shouted in sorrow. His voice was filled with guilt and pain. His shout reverberated in the silent night, never ending.
