The Invincible Dragon Emperor Chapter 437
A botched deal! Everyone was down in the dumps. G.o.d of Meng seemed determined, and he allowed for no more room for negotiation unless Lu Li figured out a way to kill the Clan Leader of the Stellar Race. Lu Li still had some hope so he asked Bai Qiuxue to have Chee-ker to collect some information about this Clan Leader of the Stellar Race. Given that the Stellar Race was another major race in the Deserted World, it was easy to gather information about them. Chee-ker already had some. This race also originated in the ancient times, and once at the peak of its glory, the race occupied the entire southeast side of the Central Plains. This race had a very powerful trick, to teleport by themselves. They were named the Stellar Race as others speculated it had something to do with s.p.a.ce. Anyone of the race after reaching a certain realm could teleport. The Clan Leader could teleport more than 300 miles, which made him almost indestructible. Learning the news, Lu Li became desperate. They wouldn't be able to kill this Clan Leader with the help of the G.o.d of Meng, let alone by themselves. "Let's go back." He didn't get what he came for but life must go on. Lu Li decided to go back to the Northern Desert. They had been away for a while now. What if something happened at the Northern Desert? Before they left, Chee-ker sent Lu Li a piece of news. Before the G.o.d of Meng left, he ordered Chee-ker to guard the tunnel connecting to the Northern Desert. He only left Lu Li with half a year's time. If he still could not accomplish the task in half a year, the tunnel must be destroyed. G.o.d of Meng did put a bit of trust on Lu Li because of Meng Zhi and Ye Cha. Otherwise, the tunnel would have already been destroyed. It was for the sake of the Deserted World's safety. What if Lu Li allied secretly with families at the Central Plains and killed their way in? "Half a year?" Lu Li felt awful. So it would seem that he could not have the Deserted World after all. Since he could not figure out a solution, he had to go back for now. After teleporting to the small world of Green Dwarfs, Lu Li asked the Mammoth Race to go first. Then he asked the Bai Family warriors to continue to guard the entrance and left. Lu Li asked Ye Cha to help the Mammoth Race to go back the way they came. Lu Li said that he must go back to the Northern Desert to think about what he could do and then inform Meng Zhi later. He also promised to deliver a batch of Mystical Materials so the Mammoth Race could have more n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors. Meng Zhi understood that there was nothing he could do. He felt guilty but did not know what to say. Lu Li went with Bai Qiuxue. They returned to the Ling Empress City via the Heaven Prison Island. The Ling Empress City was peaceful and quiet. No news. Song Qi must be still in that dangerous place. Since Lu Li was in a bad moon, he went to cultivation immediately without chatting with others. For one thing, he had to stabilize his realm. For another, he must figure out a way to make it work. He was not a quitter. He would exhaust his means before he gave up all his hopes. Bai Qiuxue was a clever girl so she also started cultivation without badgering Lu Li to keep her company. She wanted to improve the Enchantment. If she could reach the second level, she might be able to confuse a Human Sovereign Realm warrior and then she would be able to help Lu Li to take down the Deserted World. Bai Xiashuang had begun cultivation as well. She might felt belittled by Lu Li on account of her lower realm. Ming Yu and the others didn't know where Lu Li went or what had happened. But they could tell that something was off. They all began cultivation with efforts. As long as Song Qi was alive, he would always be a constant danger for the Northern Desert. The Great Patriarch of the Lu Family once gave Lu Li a number of Mystical Materials, and the national reserved was filled with Mystical Materials and Xuan Crystals. For now, Lu Li was in no need of more. He told others to focus on cultivation and don't mind about the consumption of Mystical Materials. Lu Li could still not figure out a way after five days but his realm was stabilized. He had decided to leave the matter of the Deserted World behind his mind for now. He still had time and he hadn't given up yet. He had to concentrate on cultivation now.
He began the study of Mirror Image and Speed Profound Meaning. If he could generate more clones, it would be awesome when paired with Speed Profound Meaning. If his clones could become more realistic, maybe the Human Sovereign Realm warrior wouldn't be able to kill him. Given that Lu Li had just learned how to use the Speed Profound Meaning, it would be unrealistic for him to achieve another major breakthrough in a short span of time. Therefore, he had been focusing on the Mirror Image and the number of his clones was increasing. After half a month, Lu Li could generate twice as many clones, reaching a total number of more than 30. A month later, he could generate another 20 more, reaching the limit when the demon controlled his body, which was 66. Lu Li was satisfied with the result. These many clones were enough to confuse people. If his opponent could not find the real person, then 66 was more than enough. Otherwise, not even 1000 clones would help him. He decided to stop cultivating and have a rest for a couple of days. He was disappointed to know that Bai Qiuxue was in cultivation. He went to have dinner with Lu Feixue and played a game of go with her. He didn't show many emotions on his face but Lu Feixue had good instinct to tell something was wrong as a woman. She took a sip of tea and asked, "Everything alright?" Lu Li answered with a grin, "Yes. Just some questions about cultivation." Lu Feixue was not the best person to answer questions about cultivation as she was not quite powerful herself. So she dropped the question and went back to the game of go. "Ha, ha, ha~" From outside came some pleasant laughs. Then a person flew out from a room to the sky. Lu Li walked out in curiosity. It was Bai Xiashuang with a seven-colored Fate Wheel under her feet. She was flying around in the sky, overjoyed like a kid being given a new toy. "She is talented." Lu Li nodded. Bai Xiashuang had endless supplies of Mystical Materials. No amount of Mystical Materials could make up for the lack of talent and good const.i.tution. Take Hunchback Tian as an example. He once tried for more than 80 times without success. Granted, the lack of Heaven Serpent Fruit had something to do with that as well. "Hmm!" Bai Xiashuang noticed Lu Li on the ground. She twitched her pretty nose and deliberately flew over Lu Li's head with pride. Lu Li cracked a soft smile and said, "Bai Xiashuang, what are you doing flying up there when you only wear a dress? I can see it. Is it pink?" "Ah, Lu Li you jerk!" Bai Xiashuang was so embarra.s.sed that she could dig a hole on the ground. She rushed into a side chamber with her hands covering her face and never came back out. "Rustle, rustle, rustle!" Right when Lu Li was about to go back to Lu Feixue, Madam Yan came over and whispered to him, "Jiang Hong just sent over someone to tell us… Song Qi is out from that dangerous place. He even killed more than dozens of Jiang Family scouts. He is on the run and we don't know where he is now." "What?" What worried Lu Li the most had happened. Song Qi made his way out and fled as fast as he could. For sure, he would try everything to run away from Jiang Family's pursuit and then come to the Northern Desert. "Should I ask Jiang Qiling to send over a Human Sovereign Realm warrior?" This was the idea off the top of Lu Li's head but he denied it soon. Jiang Wuwo was already unhappy about him. Some patriarchs of the Jiang Family pursuing Song Qi at the Central Plains might be acceptable for Jiang Wuwo, but definitely not sending a Human Sovereign Realm warrior to the Northern Desert. What was more, Jiang Wuwo didn't want to see history happening to Jiang Qiling again. He might even be happy to learn that Lu Li was dead… What was more, Lu Li was not a person p.r.o.ne to ask for favors. He already felt quite ashamed when he went to find Jiang Qiling last time. Jiang Wuwo's att.i.tude had fired up the pride and integrity in Lu Li. "Let's do it!" Lu Li suddenly had a crazy bold idea. He thought for a while and roared, his facial expression turning ferocious like a beast trapped in despair. …
