nChapter 562: The Shadowland Race

nTranslator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

nLu Li had nothing to lose!

nOrders from the Grand Master must have been sent to the forces and families at the Central Plains. The four forces, in particular, must have received warnings. Anyone daring to kill Lu Li openly within the 10 years would be challenging the authority of the Grand Master.

nGrand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, the supreme warrior in the world!

nHe had been in the position for more than 1000 years. The authority of Grand Master was deeply rooted in the minds of many. He could cover Lu Li for 100 years, not to mention merely 10 years, and the families still wouldn't have any opposition. Openly, nobody dared to make Lu Li trouble unless extermination of their families was what they were wishing for!

nTherefore, Lu Li was not sacred of the 12 Royal Families now. It was within his power to punish the family that caused disturbance at the Northern Desert. Nobody could kill him openly. Differently for him, he could exterminate the trouble-making disciples.

nInternally, the 12 Royal Families must be on worse terms than they appeared to be. There were cunning schemes brooding at the Demon-slaying Hall as well. If Lu Li made a big scene and the families behind any murder attempt would suffer. Grand Master had promised to cover for Lu Li publicly so no family dared to cause Lu Li any trouble above board.

nMammoth Race, Titan Race and the Cyan Phoenix Race were from the ancient times. Once, the 12 Royal Families intended for them to vanish. From the standpoint of the 12 Royal Families, they would kill any surviving members of the races.

nIt may seem to be a grave matter but in fact it was not. The three races were not the only ones that had surviving members. Many races did. In many secret regions and small worlds, there hidden many ancient races. For the 12 Royal Families at the Central Plains, the surviving members of the races didn't constitute a big threat and they were allowed to be live.

nFor families at the Central Plains, to hide some alien races and even trade with them were nothing worth noting. Of course, if someone wanted to make a big fuss, it would be another story.

nLu Li was confident that the Samsara Palace, Hades Society, Lu Family and the Pavilion of Blossoms wouldn't attempt to start a fight even if God of Meng were to get exposed. At most, they would condemn both in speech and writing and send some scapegoats to the Northern Desert. The real powerful warriors wouldn't be sent over.

nBecause, if they did, they would provoke the Grand Master!

nWhich one was more serious, to kill some surviving alien races or offend the Grand Master? The four forces knew the answer.

nThe four forces wouldn't do anything ill-considered as long as they didn't have foolish Family Patriarchs.

nAt the worst, Lu Li could destroy all the passages to the Deserted World. After sometime, a new connection to the Heaven Reverse Universe might appear.

nOf course, Lu Li couldn't have told God of Meng about all this. Lu Li was only sure that no major force would come at them even God of Meng was exposed. On the off chance that it happened, Lu Li would try his best to keep the Deserted World safe. If that couldn't be done, he would send all the Mystical Materials he got recently to the Deserted World and close off all the passages.

n

"Okay!

"

nSeeing how anxious Lu Li was, God of Meng thought for a while and said,

"I will go with you. Don't bring too many people. Warriors of low realms will drag us down.

"

n

"Okay! We will go with Ye Cha and Third Patriarch!

"

nThis time, the main goal was to save Lu Ling. With more people, they would make themselves bigger targets. If Yu Huashen or Zi Huanyu had made the breakthrough, they could come along but Lu Li didn't feel they had.

nLu Li sent a message for Ye Cha to come and asked Ming Yu to allocate more people to guard the small world with Green Dwarfs. Madam Yan was told to keep close tabs on the situation of the Northern Desert and kill anyone dared to make a scene or were from the outside.

nFrom the Northern Desert, soon came back some news. Zi Huanyu and Yu Huashen were still in closed-door cultivation. Members of the two families said that they would be for some time…

n

"Let's go without them!

"

nLu Li made up his mind to set off for the Clouds Plains as soon as Ye Cha came. With God of Meng going with them, Lu Li was more certain of the success of the mission. As for whatever troubles that would ensue afterwards, he would roll with the punches.

nAnother group of condemned prisoners were sent to the foot of the Snow Mountain of Dragons. God of Meng sent over some surviving ones of the White Hair Race. Ye Cha and Ming Yu had to come later after one or two days because they both needed to make arrangements. Lu Li thought he might just as well be taking the time to train his Soul Shattering skill.

n

"Ah, ah—

"

nFrom the foot of the Snow Mountain of Dragons, cries in agony spread across. There were more condemned prisoners sent over this time. They were not strong but they did have Soul Ponds given that all of them had reached at least the Soul Pond Realm.

nGod of Meng sat with his legs crossed on the top of the Snow Mountain of Dragons. He would check up on Little White in the Ding of Barbarian God and glance at Lu Li at the foot of the snow mountain every now and then. God of Meng smiled. Lu Li and Little White were both growing. Even though Lu Li hadn't studied a Profound Meaning to keep his shockwaves stronger, he had made the skill quite powerful.

nGod of Meng was not worried about Lu Li's Realm. It took time to build a Fate Wheel. At best, only one could be made during about half a year's time. Otherwise, bodily foundation would not be solid and problems could arise.

nLu Li was almost 18 but to the God of Meng, he was only a kid, a kid that had been growing fast. If Lu Li could survive, there was a lot to be expected of him.

nOne day later, Ye Cha and Ming Yu came!

nLu Li wasn't going to take Ming Yu with him. Ming Yu was to stay and manage the Northern Desert with Madam Yan. The matters at Ye Cha's hand had been transferred to Ming Yu. Lu Li told Ming Yu not to let go of any suspicious person. It was better to kill someone without malice than let people of the Central Plains learn about the Deserted World.

nSeeing how serious Lu Li was, Ming Yu left right away to mobilize more powerful warriors to come and guard at the small world of Green Dwarfs. At the same time, many warriors were guarding at the area of demons so that no scout could get close.

nMadam Yan sent out many troops to the sea at south for surveillance's sake. There were both recognizable scouts and scouts in plain clothes so as to intercept as many scouts from the Central Plains as possible.

nWhat was more, Madam Yan planted many informants across the cities and wildness of the Northern Desert to make sure that they could take swift actions if something went wrong while Lu Li was away.

nAfter Lu Li and Madam Yan had sorted everything out, Lu Li decided to leave. He told Ye Gu and Chee-ker to be in charge of keeping Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang safe.

nLu Li checked Little White in the Ding of Barbarian God with psychic power. He knocked on it and said,

"Little White, wake up!

"

nLittle White opened its eyes and after a thunderbolt was generate from its horns, the Ding of Barbarian God stopped giving out thunderbolts. In a moment, the lid opened and Little White dashed out.

n

"We've got work to do!

"

nLu Li hugged Little White and said fondly,

"Come with me and help me kill someone.

"

n

"Squeak, squeak~

"

nLittle White licked Lu Li's face in excitement. Lu Li noticed that Little White had fresh white furs and asked curiously,

"Thunderbolts cannot destroy your furs now? Or are you immune to thunderbolts?

"

n

"Squeak, squeak~

"

nLittle White nodded in pride. It tried to look smug but it actually looked cute rather than arrogant.

nLu Li grinned and let Little White put away the Ding of Barbarian God. He said to God of Meng and Ye Cha,

"Shall we go now?

"

n

"Let's go to the Titan Mountain first.

"

nGod of Meng said,

"I have invited Ke Lv, Family Patriarch of the Shadowland Race, to come and he must have arrived at the Titan Mountain as we speak. We will be safer if he comes along.

"

nYe Cha nodded in agreement. But he did notice the confusion in Lu Li's eyes and explained,

"The Shadowland Race has this talent. They can build very powerful illusionary settings to conceal our tracks. The Family Patriarch of the Shadowland Race is at the Noble Lord Realm, if I am right. Apart from Human Sovereign Realm warriors, others will not be able to detect us.

"

n

"This is amazing!

"

nLu Li's confidence was boosted. They were not going toward a fight but to secretly sneak into the Drifting Cloud Hall, find Lu Ling and save her. Their chances at success would be greater with the help of such a talent.
